While I joked about it before, now I honestly wonder if Brave really actually is a nod to a certain mecha franchise. It's unexpected to have secret codenames that also act as references to stuff whose relation to the characters in question seem less obvious at first glance.
it would be SO funny to me if Brave was Agumon. My friend and I have it as a running joke thanks to a certain user here and we realized the word Brave actually applies to a lot of Digimon-related things, and with the knowledge of company-themed Mii costumes releasing with each character, well....Bamco on watch.
Doesn't that seem a bit closed minded? When people got there hands on Smash early and saw Jack in the data, a lot of insiders were thinking of character like Raiden from MGS due to the whole Jack the Ripper thing. It appears that the code names are not so simple in the connection to the character, especially now that we have Arsène to compare.
And what franchise would that be?
The Brave/Yuusha Series, the one where the "Is this a pigeon?" guy comes from.
Would be nice if it is Agumon, people would be baffled that a certain user was right all along.
Yes it's close-minded because we only have 2 codenames to go by and some people want to think they know that the same thought went into both.
Jokes are good i think
Oh don't worry, it's not meant to be malicious! Your enthusiasm is just nice to us so we always kid around about how every new rumor or datamine info is related to Agumon, and it turns out Brave has an actual shot.
Yeah, it's just that some of the general's posters have been unkind to anyone that thinks a character that hasn't been mentioned by leakers would stand a chance.
I mean, as a dyed-in-the-wool Joker supporter, I know first-hand how vicious people can be about...shall we say unusual picks. lol
As people say to me all the time "Agumon is a 0% case" "Banjo is Brave" "Erdrick is Brave becouse of Yuusha" etc.
This goes with Pokemon fans as well.
i'll refer to vaanrose on this one because he knows much more than me about how files actually work
tl;dr jane isn't morgana and is very unlikely to be ann
Thank you.
For the record, I was fine with him as a possibility. Not hard to see why. Well, that and he was my starter in S/M.
I think it would be more appropriate to say a Tales rep instead of specifically Yuri. Sakurai's commented on considering Lloyd the definitive Tales hero and Lloyd has also generally been the more popular pick in the Smash community as well. Now, Yuri is the overall more popular character from what I understand, so he's still got a shot, but I think it's easily between those two.
Thanks for sharing that. And this was shared in the SE thread. The characters on mementos are called after their actual PT names.
The Phantom Thieves background characters use their codenames, e.g. "p_skull". At the moment, it seems there's no sign of anything related to "jane".

My idea for the Eiha/Eigaon thing is to just go the opposite route and have Jane instead use Kouha/Kougaon. Then again, the closest to a light element damage type in Smash is Aura damage, Electric damage, or Magic damage.
We are discussing alts here, so having that happen can be a bit hard to see. Who knows though, maybe she will be brought back when they start selling echo characters?
At this point if jane is anything it could be costume alts or echo. Echo would make sense depending on how the character is in her game. And I think it'd be cool if she had at least a different side-b. It's all on the table to speculate about, but people should just not get attached too much to any idea because we have no idea if it'd happen or not.
Good to know.
It was almost finished? If that's the case, why would it not be here? I imagine Atlus wouldn't pull it, as they likely showed Nintendo the existence of Jane in the first place. P5R was likely not something that was required to show for Joker to get proper representation, but they did it anyway and got Sakurai to start making Jane an alt for Joker. I see no reason why Nintendo itself would pull it for any reason, and Sakurai likely wouldn't have had his team work on it in the first place if Jane wouldn't have fit, as he seems to make choices like that before any digital work is done. The only thing that makes sense to me is that they are putting her off for now and are planning to use her for something later, possibly costume or echo DLC.
Yeah, I'm more inclined to believe she was put off as well since I'd imagine Atlus has plans regarding the mystery girl.
It would be a bit awkward to show her off in Smash before we learned anything more about her in the context of P5R info, but the fact that it was occupying where the school uniforms currently are makes this much more complex. I guess it's a question of what came first to Smash and why, Jane or the uniform?
i'm skeptical she was ever intended as a direct alt at all. if you look back through smash at characters like dr. mario in melee and lucina in 4, a lot of characters start life in development as skins - it's easier to model a clone/echo by first putting them over the original fighter then splitting them close to the end of that character's development/implementation in the new game
That would make a lot of sense. I imagine she filled the spot's of the uniforms during early testing then. If she is an echo though, I wonder when and how she will be released, especially since they started work on her so soon.
They can easily charge us for echoes. Considering how desperate some people are for DLC alts, I don't think they mind paying for actual fighters.
It will be interesting to see what value Nintendo places them at though, especially in the case of Jane. If Jane is sold separately from Joker(Which they almost have to do, as making her free to anyone who has Joker would result in an expectation that future DLC echo characters would be free), you could feasibly get a version of Joker without having to pay for any of the other Persona stuff.
What do you mean?
which is why i think DLC echoes would be packaged in as bonuses (or going forwards from jane, advertised up front before the pack's release, since P5R is a special case) for existing owners rather than sold separately
Like, is Jane a female Joker plotwise or...?
We won't know until the concert
