Description:
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger Pack 1: Joker DLC was the first downloadable content character released for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and a highly anticipated one at that. Released on April 17, 2019, the pack introduced the protagonist of the acclaimed RPG Persona 5, Joker, as a playable fighter.
This Challenger Pack includes:
-
New Fighter: Joker: Joker is a nimble and fast fighter who primarily uses a knife and a pistol. His unique mechanic is the "Rebellion Gauge" which fills up as he takes and deals damage. When the gauge is full, he summons his Persona, Arsène, who dramatically enhances all of his special attacks, provides him with a cape that can absorb attacks, and gives him a significant boost in power.
-
New Stage: Mementos: This stage is directly inspired by the sprawling, subconscious dungeon from Persona 5. It features a dynamic background that changes color based on the music track playing.
-
New Music Tracks: 11 music tracks from the Persona series, including fan favorites like "Last Surprise," "Beneath the Mask," and "Rivers in the Desert."
-
New Spirits: A selection of spirits from the Persona series were added to the Spirit Board, including various characters from Persona 5 to accompany Joker's release.
The Joker DLC was a huge hit with fans, especially those of the Persona series, and his unique gameplay style and iconic moveset made him a formidable and popular addition to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster.
