Kingambit and Tatsugiri repping gen 9 well by taking two second-place spots. And hey, even Iron Boulder and Glimmet avoided elimination. Gen 9 has definitely been taking it on the chin this contest so this was a pretty good result for it. Dud of the Day: Urshifu Oh man that is an embarrassing result for a Pokemon that gets a whole DLC spotlighting it. |

Amnesia Division 36 Lucario 32 Rockruff 29 Butterfree 28 Quilava 12 Scolipede -2 Boltund -19 Trumbreak -21 Azelf -41 Spinda -54 Regidrago Extremely tight race at the bottom of one divison, and a pretty tight race at the top of another. Star of the Day: Sigilyph Giratina's win feels a little bit too expected to me, but Sigilyph's performance is impressive, especially for a fairly abstract and not frequently used mon. Dud of the Day: Scolipede I really thought Scolipede would do a lot better than 5th in a division? Kind of a flat performance for something I thought would be semi-strong. Fun fact: I'm pretty confident that -22 is the highest bottom score yet. Also, congrats to the future paradox mons for both surviving somehow! I think Iron Valiant might be the first one with a positive score. |
Topic | Rate the Ace Attorney case: The Lost Turnabout (2-1) |
Paratroopa1 03/25/24 8:00:59 PM #2 | 4/10 It's overhated. Maggey is good, Wellington is a fun villain, and the whole Phoenix has amnesia thing is kinda funny for a quick throwaway tutorial plot. The writing is significantly better than 1-1 - this is classic AA at its full stride, not pilot-episode AA - and the trick with the phone at the end is clever enough. But yeah there isn't really a whole lot to judge this on, it's pretty short. |

Topic | Rate the Ace Attorney case: Rise from the Ashes (1-5) |
Paratroopa1 03/24/24 8:34:01 PM #7 | 9/10 For whatever reason, it doesn't really have that 'quintessential AA feeling' that the other cases from the first game have - it occupies a really strange place, being from the first Ace Attorney game we all played but clearly not of its game - but also not really of any game. Just a standalone case that really has a completely unique feeling to it. It's great, regardless - one of the most thorough and expansive murder mysteries in the entire franchise, with a well-written cast and some great moments. Some pacing issues do cause it to get kind of memory holed for me and there are some minor Edgeworth characterization issues but I can mostly overlook them. |

Paratroopa1 03/24/24 4:05:15 AM #25 | It's fucking wild, like, in a normal story the spirit medium would be disgraced because she couldn't spirit channel (for some reason) and everyone thought she was a fraud and that spirit channeling was fake, but no, the spirit channeling WORKED, they DID talk to the victim, but the victim's information wasn't able to solve the murder, and NOT EVEN because he didn't know, because everyone believed him about Yanni Yogi being the killer anyway, but because they were able to get Yanni Yogi off on an insanity plea? THAT'S why she's disgraced? it makes NO FUCKING SENSE |

Paratroopa1 03/24/24 12:34:56 AM #19 | 9/10 There's only two cases I'm gonna give a 10/10 to and this ain't it It is good though, like 1-3 it's just got so much iconic AA stuff in it and while some aspects of the mystery don't make a ton of sense (von Karma's motivations are weird, the thing about Misty Fey being disgraced makes NO sense) but the character beats are flawless and that's what really counts here. |

Lot of strong performances but Vivillon winning its division stands out. Dud of the Day: Rhydon Jeez, gen 1 slipping today. Fun fact: My +3 is the only thing keeping Enamorus from going under -80, lol. Me and Luster are the only ones who gave her a + oh no (yes, it is actually my favorite Pokemon in that division) Didn't quite have the most ballots though, 33 out of 40. But I'm pretty confident it has the most -3s yet - 22 of 40 ballots gave it a -3! |

Paratroopa1 03/23/24 6:35:59 PM #146 | I correctly predicted Susato would be the playable character in the first case based on this logic: Auchi is literally required to be the prosecutor in the first case, so either he comes to London or we begin in Japan, and it makes more sense to begin in Japan since we sent Susato there anyway, and Susato is the only person who could be the playable lawyer in that case |

Paratroopa1 03/22/24 10:30:00 PM #15 | 8/10 The pacing is weird - the investigations feel like they involve too much back-and-forth between annoying locations while the trial segments go a little bit too quickly. But other than that this is like - one of the most quintessential AA cases. It's one of the rare times that we ACTUALLY have Phoenix, Edgeworth, and Maya all together, it's the first case to have a really compelling murder mystery, the villain and the side characters are all great (Oldbag is awesome), and there's just so much classic, iconic AA stuff going on here. This was the case that made me fall in love with this game fully. |

Paratroopa1 03/22/24 8:34:58 PM #29 | The problem with board games is that there's really three distinct eras of board games - the ancient ones that are universal (chess, go etc), the 'classics' that every family has in their closet (monopoly, clue) and the modern ones that are way better than the classics (catan and everything onward) |

Topic | Rate the Ace Attorney case: Turnabout Sisters (1-2) |
Paratroopa1 03/22/24 4:20:56 AM #17 | I have always found it really funny that for as much reputation as Edgeworth has for the 'updated autopsy report', that's literally a thing he only ever does once. 1-2 is the only time we see Edgeworth's darker side in real time - he gets so immediately cut down to size by the witnesses in 1-3 that we never really see it again. It's kind of a shame - one of the things 1-2 does incredibly well is just how QUICKLY it establishes Edgeworth as a character, that by the end of the case everyone who plays it is like, "he's objecting again? That's classic Edgeworth!" That's what makes 1-1 and 1-2 so difficult for me to rate. They're weak, by comparison to the amazing heights that this series reaches pretty consistently starting immediately after this case, but they're undeniably effective at establishing the series. |
