Four.

Four times i've been mistaken for a lady.

Do i exude a feminine aura?

double post
Something something non-confrontational attitude being traditionally linked to femininity something

At what point do we start calling this the J-virus?

Actually, I'm gonna start doing that now.
Jane virus vs Jill virus

Who would win?

especially when the character itself is specifically referred to as "Jane" in the files to play off of "Jack".
What connection does "Jane" have with "Jack" other than having a name that starts with J? How does it play off?

I'm legitimately asking.
Especially since the other codename in Joker's files "Doyle" (Arsene) has no connection to "Jack" either. So why would "Jane" even if it WERE a file for Joker?

interestingly, they both have the exact same etymological meaning - 'god is gracious'
name sites like behindthename also sometimes cite jane as a feminine form of jack, but it's hard to say how indepth sakurai's team go with these codenames

It's not that deep.jpg


I'm pretty sure Jane's just the feminine version of Jack and that's why they used it.

Question: How does Jane relate to Jill? Is Jane one of those names that is somehow connected to another name (Jill), or is it just because they start with J and both of the characters have ponytails?

Jack is a generic male name beginning with J. Jane is a generic female name beginning with J. Considering Joker itself is a codename, it could reference how Joker disguises himself, like a John/Jane Doe.
It's a stretch to be sure, but the only other fighter codename we know is Brave, which is more of a description/reference than a name.

I feel like now that guns can be used, I could retool my Jill/Leon moveset.

Not that it would change it drastically or anything. But I do think it makes a difference.

Easter is coming to a end for me, so Happy Easter to the person who didn't see it my previous post before, may you all have a great day!

On that said, it's bed time. =w=

Yes.
Also maaaaaybe Jill would have the same bodytype as Joker and also have an emphasis on firearms.
Maybe.
Hopefully?

i mostly just like it because it seems to tie in quite nicely with persona's overall themes - personas being gods (like izanagi) or gifts from 'gods'/divine powers

but yeah, it's probably just they had 'jack' from jack frost or jack of all trades and needed a feminine form.

"Jack" also goes with the Joker theme, being the "Jack of All Trades". As well as being in the same deck of cards.

Jane is considerably more generic in that regard to refer to a female Joker.

So uh...

Am I the only one that notices the casual blackface or...?:dr^_^:
How dare you mock the fusion between awooh girl and Mr. Popo.

Unless you count Mr. Popo as blackface in and of itself in which case, you actually might have a point, but let's not talk about that.

I'd wave it off as such.

But the MAGA crowd adopted Momiji from Touhou as one of their icons.
Just because some random group of idiots adopted a character as their "mascot" doesn't mean that's all the character is about now.

dumb dlc theory about those mii costumes
with joker we got the sonic costumes back, but interestingly we did not get the Virtua Fighter costumes back. I was thinking to myself this morning, that maybe these costumes could get added back with a character from Virtua Fighter. After all, Sakurai has shown that he is particularly fond of the series. Of course akira is an assist trophy and virtua fighter has been dead for years but idk I wanted to type something

I mean.

It's literally the MAGA Momoji icon just with "Make America Great Again" removed from the hat.
