All-Out Attack (総攻撃, Joint Raid) is Joker's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

The splash screen at the end of the Final Smash.

When the Final Smash is used, Joker will rush forward, and any opponents hit during the initial rush will be placed in the attack. The Final Smash starts by showing Joker, along with three of his fellow Phantom Thieves (either alongside Ann Takamaki, Ryuji Sakamoto, and Morgana or Makoto Niijima, Yusuke Kitagawa, and Haru Okumura with either Futaba Sakura or Morgana as the navigator) in silhouetted form jumping upwards, before a splash screen of all four of them appears. The four of them then rush the enemy at speeds that cause them to turn into blurs, while either Futaba Sakura or Morgana comment on the onslaught, depending on the team. When the attack finishes, Joker lands in front of the opponents, and another splash screen appears with Joker fixing his glove while "The Show's Over" appears next to him.

When "The Show's Over" appears, all captured opponents who are over 100% damage will be instantly KOed; any other captured opponents will instead be dealt damage and sent flying. (Without Spirits, this occurs if the opponent was at 63% before being hit in 1-vs-1 battles or 64% before being hit in battles with 3 or more players.) In a Stock or Stamina match, if the move instantly KOing opponents causes the match to end, the match ends on the splash screen without returning to gameplay, persisting onto the victory screen.

If Joker misses the initial rush forward, the player can push the control stick in the opposite direction of Joker to rush backwards and attempt to catch opponents again.

During the attack, Morgana or Futaba will say any of the following lines:

Quote
Morgana Time for some brutality!
It's too late for apologies!
Quiver in fear!
Futaba Sakura Here comes the pain!
Time for an all-out attack!
Beat 'em up!

Origin

Joker initiating, and using, an All-Out Attack in Persona 5.

All-Out Attacks are staples of the Persona series, since its introduction in Persona 3. When a player knocks down every enemy in the current battle (whether that be from getting critical hits, from exploiting weaknesses or by the enemy missing with a physical attack), they are then given the option to perform an All-Out Attack, where every currently active party member attacks the opponent relentlessly, dealing significant physical almighty damage that cannot be voided, repelled, or absorbed.

All-Out Attack is nearly identical to the same move in Persona 5, including the splash screens. In Persona 5, the defeated opponents are seen gushing high-pressure blood but in Ultimate, this is replaced with sparkles to better fit the game's rating. Likewise, one of Morgana's lines, "Time for some bloodshed!", was altered to "Time for some brutality!" In Persona 5, the splash screen at the end of the attack, called the Finishing Touch, is only activated when the attack defeats every enemy left in the battle, but in Ultimate, it activates with every use of the Final Smash, regardless if it KOs an opponent or not.

Glitches

In version 3.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, getting an Instant KO with this Final Smash in Classic Mode will occasionally prevent the game from progressing. This glitch was fixed in the version 3.0.1 update.
