Joker (ジョーカー, Joker) will be released in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on April 17th, 2019. He was announced at The Game Awards 2018 on December 6th, 2018 as the second DLC character and is the first downloadable character for the Fighters Pass. Joker is classified as fighter #71.
Xander Mobus, who voices Joker in Persona 5 and the announcer, Master Hand, and Crazy Hand in Ultimate, reprises his role as the character in the English version of the game, while Jun Fukuyama, who also voices Roy, reprises his role in Japanese.
Moveset
- Joker has a special mechanic called Rebellion Gauge, which fills up over time, by being hit, or when Joker is behind in score/stock. If Rebel's Guard is used while the opponent attacks, the Gauge fills up faster. When it is full, Joker summons Arsene, and his special moves change to "Gun Special", "Eigaon", "Wings of Rebellion", and "Tetrakarn/Makarakarn", all enhanced versions of his previous moves. Arsene will also attack in tandem with Joker during his standard moves, enhancing his damage output and range.
- Joker can wall jump.
Note: All numbers are listed as base damage, without the 1v1 multiplier.

Victory poses
Joker's victory screen replicates the victory screen from Persona 5. If there are three or more players, the color scheme will match the player's port. If Joker wins on Mementos, the color of the victory screen will match the color of the stage along with the corresponding victory fanfare from the game Mementos' theme is currently derived from.
If Joker wins a Stock match with All-Out Attack, the game will transition straight to the results screen, just like in Persona 5.

Trivia
- Joker is the first selectable character in the series to share their voice actor with the announcer in the English version of the game, barring Master Hand's playable appearances, as Master Hand is not a normally selectable character outside of these circumstances.
- Joker and Inkling are the only newcomers in Ultimate to be announced without any gameplay footage in their first reveal trailer.
- Joker's has three reveal trailers (counting the separate versions as different trailers), and is the only character with this distinction: one was played during The Game Awards 2018, and one was officially posted online afterwards, which removes dialogue references to The Game Awards. The final one was posted online as well.
- Out of all the character reveals in both Smash 4 and Ultimate, Joker is the only character to be revealed at/in a non-Nintendo event/video.
- In Joker's reveal trailer, it is mentioned that he must have gone to The Game Awards 2018 to steal a treasure. According to Masahiro Sakurai in a Famitsu column, the treasure was an invitation to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. [1]
- The invitation is depicted as being enclosed in an envelope with a wax seal in the shape of the Super Smash Bros. logo. This is a callback to previous character reveal trailers for Villager in Smash 4 and Isabelle in Ultimate.
- An instrumental arrangement of Life Will Change plays fittingly during the reveal, as the song plays while the Phantom Thieves are infiltrating a Palace to steal a treasure after sending out a calling card.
- After Sonic and Bayonetta, Joker is the third guest fighter to represent Sega, as Atlus was acquired by Sega Sammy Holdings in 2013.
- Joker is the second character to have his victory theme directly ripped from a non-Smash game, the first being Sonic.
- Joker had his render leaked on Best Buy before his official render was revealed.
- Joker is the only character so far whose character render changes under certain circumstances, as his mask (or glasses, in his alternate costume) will be removed when Arsene is present.
- Joker is the only character so far who utilizes a knife in his standard moveset.
