Sin and Punishment - Tatsuya Suou Support Thread
Who is Tatsuya Suou?
Tatsuya Suou is the (mostly) silent protagonist of Persona 2 Innocent Sin, a party member and major character in Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, and the protagonist of Persona 2 Eternal Punishment PSP's Additional Scenario. He is an 18 year-old student attending Seven Sisters High School in Sumaru City, when rumours begin to become real. He awakens to the persona Vulacanus, and sets out to stop the Joker, who seems to bear a grudge against Tatsuya, despite Tatsuya not knowing him.
Why Should Tatsuya Be In Smash?
When Joker was added to Smash Ultimate in Challenger Pack 1, he came with content from throughout the Persona series. However, this content was entirely focussed on the modern Persona games (3-5), with Persona 1 having one song - Aria of the Soul (which is based on its Persona 3 remix, and doesn't change Mementos' appearance) and one spirit - Igor (using his Persona 5 artwork). Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Persona 2 Eternal Punishment have no content whatsoever. Adding Tatsuya as a character, along with music and spirits from the earlier Persona games, would be the best way to increase the amount of Persona content in Smash. This is because he is the most fleshed-out Protagonist in the series (joint with Maya Amano), with a backstory and set personality. Additionally, he represents a currently unrepresented era of the series, and as a major character in multiple games, he represents this era better than most other characters.
Tatsuya is also a popular character, especially among long-time fans of the series, and has a large amount of personality and moveset potential.
Moveset Potential
Tatsuya's main weapon is a sword, which could be used for his standard attacks. However, he can also use the power of Persona, and is able to summon a large variety. His main Personas are Vulcanus, Vulcanus Prime and Apollo. Vulcanus specialises in fire based skills, and Apollo specialises in fire and nuclear skills.

When using Apollo, Tatsuya's signature move is called Nova Kaiser. This attack temporarily stops time, before Apollo creates a supernova explosion, dealing nuclear and light damage.

Final Smash
Tatsuya's final smash would likely be Grand Cross / Dragon Cross, depending on if he is using his Innocent Sin or Eternal Punishment design. These attacks are fusion spells, and require Tatsuya and all other party members to use their ultimate personas' signature moves on the same enemy at the same time. This attack deals high almighty damage, and could either be a cutscene final smash, or an AOE final smash.
