Social Hideout of the Phantom Thieves - Joker Social

[Bolshoi]

It occurs to me. Releasing Joker on April Fool's Day (technically before the end of April) with no preamble would be the best possible prank.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Here's a link to the page it's from! I can't see it being there for long, though.

Nope. It's surprisingly still there!

I guess Nintendo haven't caught wind of this yet. Anyway, I'm happy we've finally gotten to see his full render, because he is really "Looking cool, Joker"!

Please forgive me for that...

 

[Flyboy]

Wow, he looks incredible! Perfect in the Smash style! God I can't wait for gameplay and to play as him.

 

[Robertman2]

So how do I make a new poll

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

So apparently, fate still finds a way to force me to end my hiatus from a thread earlier than expected. Sasuga, Best Buy.

Because it is a cool little treat that I am sure Sakurai would love to work with, considering his love of P5.

Also, Metal Gear Solid 4 wasn't even out yet when Snake came in Brawl, and that included Gekkos, so this kind of thing wouldn't be unprecedented. Smash is partly an ad for upcoming things, after all.

I really like this take. Like, imagine playing a game you love and getting the chance to not only put the main character in the game you made but they also trust you with something special that's coming up soon that fans of the series are excited for. It must be really neat.

So it looks like something was found on Best Buy's website

Goodbye GameStop...we fully knew you

Well, damn! If people are right about this, than Joker will release soon! I'm jumping the bandwagon of 'Joker releasing on April Fool's Day'!

I imagine the same way you made the first poll. What do you plan to do?

What happened?

They leaked the official Joker render.
I personally love it a lot.

I thought it was Best Buy, not GameStop.

I thought it was Best Buy, not GameStop.

Then I don’t know.
Maybe the person who said Gamestop was referring to something unrelated meant to be posted somewhere else... Or said the wrong store.

 

[KatKit]

Here's hoping that there's at least some kind of announcement on April Fool's day. I'm thinking Joker is going to release a little sooner than I anticipated.

Welp, time to keep binge playing Persona in the meantime.

 

[Sigran101]

Just wanna point out one crucial part of that Joker render leak: it was in a WEEKLY AD meant for this upcoming one - March 31st to April 6. Assuming that no shenanigans happen, we only need to wait for roughly 6 days maximum for Joker.

Joker's finally gonna be in Smash, guys. What is this timeline.

How sure a thing is this? What exactly is a weekly add?

 

[Deleted member]

Joker has one of the best renders in Ultimate by a mile, if you ask me.

Hopefully the rest of the Fighter Pass renders are at a similar level.

You could say that, if he dropped April 1st, it would be the

April

's

Day

Even as someone who knows nothing about Persona, I got a smile with this post.
Good one.

Hot take: Best Buy didn't screw up and the Phantom Thieves wanted to alert the world of their presence. The Best Buy ad is a calling card.

I like this headcanon.
I’ll take it too if you don’t mind.

 

[Teeb147]

So I was just gonna rest for a while and go check on the stream but i fell asleep. :O

I took a look at the vods and didnt even see anything persona-related. Did they not stream it? The mini-concert, the voice actors, etc.
I'm not sure what happened lol. I do know there was a long puyo puyo tournament

Anyway, as for the render, it almost looks like plastic. We sure that ain't an amiibo? ;p

Aren't headcanons made for other people to agree with anyway? I don't think there's anyone who'd mind it.

Then that’s even better for me!
Nice to know!

Or TMNT was simply joking, poorly.

Kinda like those circulars you get for groceries and other general stores, but in digital form.

 

[Sigran101]

So if this is really the weekly add, then Joker this week is basically confirmed. But I looked at the Best buy weekly add for the week of the 31st and this was not there.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

I somehow almost forgot about the fact he's going to be getting an Amiibo. I'll be getting 20 of them.

 

[Deleted member]

I somehow almost forgot about the fact he's going to be getting an Amiibo. I'm probably gonna buy 20 of them.

Take in mind that if the new character from P5 The Royal ends up being his alt, maybe she gets an amiibo too.

Yeah, it doesn't look right to me. But it also doesn't look like an Amiibo. There's no stand, and the Amiibo shouldn't be coming out for a long time. Weird.

Well we cant really see the bottom so there might be. But anyway it's probably the render. It just looks like a figurine to me tho

 

[Flyboy]

That's just the Smash style. All the renders have that quality to them, it's just more pronounced with Joker since this image is shrunk down.

That makes sense.

Anyone else thinking it's happening this week?

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Do you figure that they already took Joker down from the weekly ad within hours since they realised they let the cat burglar out of the bag?

That makes sense.

Me. Which is somewhat disadvantageous, since I had my week-off from work set up for the second week of April, but beggars aren't choosers.~

No they all look like 3d models to me. not joker.

But anyway, ... still wondering about what happened with the sega fes persona stuff. anyone know anything?
edit: I'll take that as a no

It's still up on best buy, and I bet i'tll stay there for a good while.


edit2: Looking a bit around the internet, seems a lot of people were disappointed with Sega Fes in general.

My man looks incredible! I mean... looking cool, Joker! He looks incredibly faithful to P5 and fits in with the rest of the Smash cast!
Seems like the Phantom Thieves are going to infiltrate Smash soon!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Master Hand: So you have come to ruin my show? All right, come and try, thieves!
Alert level increases to 99%

Yeah I figured that Fes would have bupkis, so it's a good thing the leak came when it did.

 

[Lamperouge]

I hope that his render being leaked this early means that he's going to release soon. Dying to see any kind of gameplay for the guy, really. :/

The pose is absolutely perfect, though, so I think Joker definitely secured a place in the top five character renders for Ultimate.

Gameplay maybe ? I think that can happen.

I could see maybe an announcement for a direct this coming week or something.

To shift the topic a little, it appears that Q2 may be beaten to the punch for the honor of the final 3DS physical game release.
