Gun (ガン, Gun) is Joker's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
Pressing the special button causes Joker to fire his gun once, and he will continually fire if the special button is pressed multiple times. Holding the special button down also causes him to continually fire the gun, but the rate of fire will not be as fast as it can be with repeated presses.
Joker can perform a quick, roll-like dodge while firing by pressing either left or right on the control stick while firing straight forwards. If four dodges are used without ceasing fire, Joker loses the ability to dodge until he stops using the gun. These dodges have fewer invulnerability frames than a standard roll.
All of this functionality is retained if the gun is used in the air, and Joker also gains two new options. By holding down while firing in the air, or by jumping while firing on the ground, Joker performs a corkscrewing series of shots directly below himself. By instead pressing up, Joker will spin while constantly firing his gun in a circle around him until he lands, offering greater coverage but less concentrated power than either of the other two styles.
If Arsene is currently out on the field, the attack will be upgraded to Gun Special (ガンスぺシャル, Gun Special), and Joker will fire three bullets with each shot when firing straight forwards. The other two methods of firing become stronger, as well.
Origin
Guns are a class of weapon used in Persona 5. In the original game, party members can pull out their gun during their turn in a battle, and fire it as many times as they wish until the current magazine runs out. Joker uses semi-automatic pistols, while the other members of the Phantom Thieves use different types of firearms. While they are actually realistic models rather than genuine guns, the nature of the Metaverse allows them to function as if they were real.
Joker's acrobatic maneuvers when using Gun is likely a reference to the Down Shot special attack he can learn from Confidant Shinya Oda, an elementary schooler who is a light gun game prodigy. The animation for Down Shot shows Joker gracefully dodging and leaping into the air while firing at the enemy.
Gun Special is a reference to the other skills that Joker can learn from Shinya. Down Shot shows Joker firing his gun three times in a row, downing the enemy. Upon reaching Rank 10 of the Confidant, Joker learns the Oda Special, a skill that allows his bullets to ignore an enemy's resistances.
The gun Joker uses is his initial gun in Persona 5. Referred to in-game as the Tkachev, it is based off the Type 54, a Chinese copy of the Tokarev TT-33.
