Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be getting Joker from Persona 5 as DLC and reveals that more DLC for the game could include more third-party characters.

Upcoming DLC characters for the game might have been uncovered by data mining. It features three DLC character codenames: Packu, Jack and Brave. Packu is likely the confirmed Pirahna Plant DLC coming in February. It is possible Jack could mean the Joker DLC, while Brave could be a Hero class character in Dragon Quest titles.

Ok so since the secret's out, here's confirmation. Params in Ultimate confirm the code names of 2 future characters, "jack" and "brave".

The labels for these characters:

The first thing that "Brave" makes me think of is Bravely Default but that seems way too obscure.

Or maybe someone from Octopath

Could be. Anything is possible at this point!

It's Sora, in his Valor Form Drive Form, which in Japanese is Bureivu Fōmu, Brave Form. Haha, I wish. I'd rather it not be Dragon Quest though. So many Square Enix characters I'd like to see in Smash, but Dragon Quest just isn't one of them.

I agree but it seems very likely given how crazy popular DQ is in Japan.

Jack from Madworld confirmed?

Now that I think about it, Jack might also be Raiden.

So I beat the adventure mode yesterday on Smash and came across Sean Schemmel's name. Does this mean we're getting Goku as a DLC character, or did he just do some voice acting for another character?

Apparently, he's the voice of Lucario.

Rafie Rafie (on 04 January 2019)

Thank you! I didn't know Lucario talked. :-D

His final Smash, he yells "Max Aura!"

What could they mean!?

I am fine with a DQ rep, but other rumours say the next characters are Ryu from Ninja Gaiden (semi OK) and Steve from Minecraft with a Halo skin (for all that is holy and just, pls no).
