All-Out Attack (総攻撃, Joint Raid) is Joker's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
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 (with one set being Ann Takamaki, Ryuji Sakamoto, and Morgana, and the other set being Makoto Niijima, Yusuke Kitagawa, and Haru Okumura; the selection is random) 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 (if Morgana is participating in the attack) or Morgana comment on the onslaught. 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. Any opponents caught in the attack are then sent flying (or instantly KOed if they are above 100% damage); however, if the Final Smash KOing the opponent ends the match, the match will be ended on the splash screen without returning to gameplay, and this will persist into the victory screen.
If Joker misses the initial rush forward, the player can push the control stick backwards to rush backwards and attempt to catch opponents again.
Origin
All-Out Attacks are staples of the Persona series. When a player knocks down every enemy in the current battle (whether that be from getting critical hits or from exploiting weaknesses), they are then given the option to perform an All-Out Attack, where every currently active party member attacks the opponent relentlessly, dealing significant damage that bypasses enemy resistances and immunities.
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 keep the game's E10+ rating. 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 of if it KOs an opponent or not.
