'''Grappling Hook''' ({{ja|ワイヤーアクション|Waiyā Akushon}}, ''Wire Action'') is [[Joker]]'s [[up special move]]. | '''Grappling Hook''' ({{ja|ワイヤーアクション|Waiyā Akushon}}, ''Wire Action'') is [[Joker (SSBU)|Joker]]'s [[up special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. | ||

When the move is used, Joker will shoot a grappling hook upwards at an angle while being boosted up slightly (although the boost only works once in the air). It acts as a [[tether recovery]], similar to the [[Ice Climbers]]' [[Belay]] and [[Ivysaur]]'s [[Vine Whip]], and can pull opponents closer to Joker if it hits them while Joker is grounded | When the move is used, Joker will shoot a grappling hook upwards at an angle while being boosted up slightly (although the boost only works once in the air). It acts as a [[tether recovery]], similar to the [[Ice Climbers]]' [[Belay]] and [[Ivysaur]]'s [[Vine Whip]], and can pull opponents closer to Joker if it hits them while Joker is grounded. If used in the air, the move instead has a weak hitbox that can be used to push the opponent into the blast zone if they're already close. This move is classified as a [[projectile]] and thus can be reflected. Also, Joker may grunt or say "There!" or "You're mine!" when using this move. | ||
Upon the throw's success, Joker gains enough frame advantage to always hit a [[forward aerial]] up until around 110%, giving the move a lot of utility. Grappling Hook's grab hitbox will not work if the opponent is already in hitstun, limiting its use to starting combos, not continuing them. It also does not work on [[shield]]ing opponents, akin to {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s [[Fishing Rod]]. It also has very few ways to confirm into it, with the last hit of [[up aerial]] while Joker is close to the ground being the only "true" one. A good way to set this up is during a [[fast fall]] [[up aerial]]. Outside of this, [[up tilt]] has situational use as a frame trap with this at lower percentages. | |||
If Arsene is present when the move is inputted, Joker will instead use '''Wings of Rebellion''' ({{ja|反逆の翼|Hangyaku no Tsubasa}}, ''Wings of Rebellion''), which causes Arsene to allow Joker to fly upwards, or at a slight angle. Joker is invincible during Wings of Rebellion from frame 1 to 25 if used on the ground, and from frame 3 to 25 if used in the air. However, after this, Joker is completely vulnerable, meaning the Joker player will have to use it sparingly. | |||

Joker does not use a grappling hook in ''Persona 5'' outside of the game's menus, but he does use one when dungeon crawling in the game's updated re-release ''Persona 5 Royal'' (a fact which was confirmed a few days after Joker was released, heavily suggesting that the idea for having the grappling hook in his moveset came from ''Royal''). | |||
Wings of Rebellion has no solid base in ''Persona 5'', but is likely based on the fact that | Wings of Rebellion has no solid base in ''Persona 5'', but is likely based on the fact that Arsene is capable of flight. It is also a possible reference to the intro of the game, which shows Joker summoning Arsene to take flight. The name of the attack calls back to a speech that is heard whenever Joker begins a new Confidant: a voice informs him that the bond he has just forged "shall become the ''wings of rebellion'' that breaketh thy chains of captivity." | ||
