Gameplay (Version 1)

If his attack connects, he will briefly hold them at gunpoint alongside either Ryuji Sakamoto, Ann Takamaki, and Yusuke Kitagawa, or Morgana, Makoto Niijima, and Haru Okumura. He and his three teammates will then perform an All-Out Attack animation before a splash screen appears, featuring Joker striking a glove-adjusting pose with the phrase "THE SHOW'S OVER" plastered on the side. Any opponent caught in the attack will be sent flying.

The splash screen display will also change depending on the character being controlled.

Joker's Final Strike is the same regardless of his variation. Each Super Move sees the protagonist summon their Ultimate Persona: Satanael (Joker), Izanagi-no-Okami (Yu), and Messiah (Makoto).

Phantom Thief
Joker's default outfit is his Phantom Thief attire, the appearance he takes while exploring Mementos in Persona 5. The rest of the Phantom Thieves would also wear their Thief attire (Phantom Thief moveset). Yu and Makoto's default costumes would be the Yasogami and Gekkoukan Winter Uniforms, respectively, as those are the outfits they wear when exploring the TV World and Tartarus, respectively (Wild Card moveset). Aigis would appear in her regular Persona 3 appearance. Joker is also playable in his Shujin Academy outfit, as an alternate color. Yu’s appearance would be missing his TV world glasses, while Makoto would be missing his SEES armband and evoker belt. Aigis would wear her Gekkoukan uniform.

Dancing All Night
Joker wears his dancing attire from Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, while Yu wears his LMB Stage Outfit from Persona 4: Dancing All Night and Makoto wears his dancing attire from Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight. The rest of the Phantom Thieves and Aigis would also wear their matching outfits from the Dancing spin-offs.

Joker would appear dressed as Vincent Brooks, while Makoto would be dressed as the Persona 1 protagonist, and Yu would be dressed as Tatsuya Suou in his Seven Sisters uniform. Aigis would be dressed as Maya Amano.

Trivia

 * Writer's Note: Personally, I refer to Joker as Akira Kurusu and the protagonist of Persona 3 as Minato Arisato, while calling P3P's female protagonist Makoto Yuki, however, I use the names Ren Amamiya and Makoto Yuki in this blog since those are the names used in Persona 5: The Animation/Persona 3: The Movie and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night/Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night. Those are likely the names Atlus would use if these characters were in an official PlayStation All-Stars sequel.
