I've played 1-4, I know he is real.

Pretty sure he can hurt you. He has a tazer.

I always assumed it was just me who thought he looked really bizarre in that scene where he's shown from the front.

Oh God no. That's the stuff made of nightmares.

The Phoenix Wright art style is really bad when showing characters directly facing you.

Most characters look somewhere between ok and a little off

But von Karma doesn't even look like the same dude, or even a living human at all.

That is extremely off putting. It's no Von Karma, but not everything can be the worst.

I feel like that if you watched the anime this isn't that big of a deal.

Dude literally looks like the love child of a fish and a ventriloquist's dummy
I blame the remastered art style, the crunchy DS art wasn't nearly as off-putting from what I recall. Literally everyone in the remastered art style just looks weird to me.
Kratos will choke this point avatar by Hambo the Hog.

Lool I was literally about to say. This series looked weirdly better on DS and being blown up to a full-screen makes it look... not right. Like weirdly cheap and newgroundsy/flash games if that makes sense

People always looked weird from the front. Second place goes to Edgeworth, with Phoenix himself being third.

Most of the female characters looked better, except of course for the ones where being ugly was the joke.
It's shit like this that makes me never want to give the AA series a shot. Too fucking silly.

It does. The sprites had way more detail on the DS.

If you have some sort of problem with silly, then yeah, you'll wanna avoid Ace Attorney.

When you play anime games you have to embrace the silly
Common sense says it may not taste good, but it'll make a turd.

I agree, the sprite looks better. The lines are softer and his eyes are shaded more dramatically

Holy crap I knew I wasn't crazy, the difference is night and day. That weird first pic: von karma has weird bugging eyes look, like dumb and derpy. The DS version: von karma looks sinister and terrifying. It's not just the eyes, it's small details too like where the lines are drawn on his face and just the general look.

I'm so glad I still have the DS games and a working DS, because I was not expecting such a subtle but ultimately big change from these ports
I think the biggest problems with the remake art style is that they made his head too thin and he looks like he was drawn with a mirror tool

It also doesn't help that the characters just have white voids inside their mouths instead of teeth
