Ground Attacks

Command	Move	Description	How to Use
Neutral (Neutral + Attack)	Dirty Dealer!	Effect: Projectile Throw out a card projectile. Each throw cycles to a new card. Diamond card sticks to opponents before exploding. Heart card passes through opponents, but then hits while returning to The Joker. Spade card throws multiple cards.	Diamond cards are great for disrupting your opponent's flow as the delayed explosion can catch them off guard. Heart cards can be used to bring your opponent close to you, allowing for a great combo starter. Spade cards can be used for poke damage due to the volume of projectile attacks.
Side (Side (Hold) + Attack)	Joker, Baby!	The Joker slides forward, striking a pose in the process.	Mainly used to close gaps between you and your opponent. Also knocks enemies back when it connects.
Side (Side + Attack)	Everything But The Kitchen Sink!	Effect: Combo The Joker swings various objects in a combo attack.	Can be used on its own or combined with other attacks to chain combos together.

Joker Best Combos and Moves

Side Attack and Side Special Combo

Aerial Combos to Blastoff!

Blastoff!

Blastoff! is a projectile move that can be charged, with its damage and knockback increasing depending on the time you were able to charge. This move is great for finishing combos as it can be easier to hit on enemies trying to recover.

Brushed And Ready!

The Joker's Down + Attack, Brushed And Ready!, is another move that can be charged with the charge directly affecting how many bites it inflicts on your opponent. While you can get away with doing this move without having to charge it, keep in mind that you can charge this attack ahead of time and save it, allowing you to use it at a more opportune time.
