| LeonhartFour 12/04/21 12:16:58 AM #81 | I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one! Trials & Tribulations Phoenix and Edgeworth's Dynamic The Hair Flip Maya Fey Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Protagonist Miles Edgeworth The Golden Court (L-3) Simon Blackquill - Other than Apollo, I'd say Blackquill is my favorite Ace Attorney character they've created since the original trilogy. He's almost like an homage to all the previous prosecutors. He's cerebral and logical like Edgeworth, has a penchant for violence like Franziska, is fond of illogical metaphors like Godot, and gives everyone weird nicknames like Klavier. Oh, and he's a fantastic opponent, to boot. I love 5-2 so much primarily because he nails Apollo to the wall the entire first trial day, and the big triumphant moment of the second day isn't exposing L'Belle; it's Apollo finally being able to stand up to Blackquill. Presenting Your Attorney's Badge to Everyone You Meet - If you don't do this, are you really playing Ace Attorney? It's kind of funny because there were actually a couple of instances in the original game where presenting the badge was necessarily to advance the story. I'm not sure it's ever been necessary since then, but they always keep it in the inventory because they know (and frequently lampshade) that fans love to do this. Cross-examining Animals Ladders vs. Stepladders Damon Gant - He's everything that Redd White was supposed to be. Gant is a tough as nails opponent who has his own unique set of weapons that no one else has at their disposal as the police chief. He has the defendant under his thumb, and he's one of the few people who's ever been able to legitimately rattle Edgeworth. Taking him down is incredibly satisfying, and the lightning bolt animation is still perhaps the greatest damage animation in the series. Dhurke Sahdmadhi Psycho-Locks The Herlock Sholmes "Logic and Reasoning Spectacular" Turnabout Reclaimed (5-6) - As much as I tend to say the case is overrated (I don't think it's the best DD case like many do), it's still fantastic. Shipshape Aquarium is one of my favorite Ace Attorney locations ever, and it features one of the greatest testimonies ever as well in "The Dissin' of Phoenix Wright." Here's my controversial 5-6 opinion: Crab > Rimes Justice for All The Mood Matrix The Adventure of the Runaway Room (G1-3) - This case is wild, man. You'd figure the game would ease you in to your first jury trial, but nope! There's this profound sense of unease throughout the whole thing, whether it's your clearly suspicious client, suddenly appearing bloodstains, or evidence going up in flames, quite literally. It's been a while since a case made me feel like that, so I appreciate that a lot. G2-4's Dance of Deduction - An odd admission up front that I made in my GAA playthrough topic: I find the weird German song that plays during this part strangely enchanting. This particular Dance of Deduction threw me for a loop because, just as soon as you thought Ryunosuke had solved the thing, Sholmes steps in, takes charge, and gets everything right for the first time ever. I thought it was a nice little touch because it shows how well he knows Iris and how much he cares for her deep down. Gregory Edgeworth Enoch Drebber Punished Apollo Ryutaro Naruhodo Ema Skye - Unpopular opinion time: Grumpy Ema is the best version of the character. It's one of the few things Apollo Justice got right over the original trilogy. I love this weird friction Ema has with both Apollo and Klavier. I guess I can live with the more fulfilled Ema we get in SoJ, but either way, it's better than 1-5 Ema, who's honestly not a great character or sidekick because they clearly wanted her to be a Maya stand-in and she's just not. Kay Faraday Spirit Channeling Investigation ~ Core 2001 I Can't Defeat Tree Man Herlock Sholmes Dancing Animations Daley Vigil/Gossip Robin Newman Believe me, any comic relief I may provide is entirely unintentional. Ini & Mimi Miney Sebastian Debeste Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Phoenix Wright 3-1 Phoenix's Shirt and What It Really Stands For Olive Green - I certainly never would have predicted what her character arc would have become after G1-4. She manages to be very sympathetic and tragic while also not being entirely innocent at the same time. I think her personality is a little flat, but overall her role in the story is pretty good. Edgeworth's Cravat Dahlia's Constipation The Fact That Phoenix Once Tipped a Cow Peace, Love, and Understanding Klavier Gavin - Klavier's a weird case for a prosecutor because he's clearly good at his job. He's just...not a good opponent. I feel like they wanted to walk the line between him wanting to win the case and wanting to reveal the truth, but it wasn't very successful. They wanted him to be a friendly rival in the Edgeworth mold, and it works better outside of court, for some reason, although I love most of his prosecutor animations. Juror No. 4 Japanifornia - It's so wild that the English localization essentially boxed itself in because they needed to establish a time zone to make the passport contradiction work in 1-1. That one little detail is the only reason they continue to insist Ace Attorney takes place in the United States, and I actually respect the heck out of them for sticking to their guns and maintaining the continuity of the series despite the occasional silliness it creates (besides, I do enjoy the funny webcomics it spawns). Moe's Fresh Prince Reference Multiple Witnesses Mechanic Case 1s That Tease Dynamics in the Final Case The Adventure of the Great Departure (G1-1) Soseki Natsume - Honestly, the guy is kind of annoying a lot of the time because he's almost impossible to have a rational discussion with (which isn't necessarily uncommon for defendants!). He does have some great animations though, and it does feel good to get him off the hook. Also, it was cool for Takumi to include a real-life person in the game, even if it does make the timeline of events wonky...! I'm not sure I like you wagging your finger at me as though I were some hoser! Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney - I have a weird relationship with this game. It frustrates the heck out of me in a way no other game in the series does, but I can still replay it and largely enjoy myself to this day. For everything the game gets right, there are one or two missteps that accompany it. I still remember playing this game for the first time and just the tension I felt waiting until we learned what caused Phoenix Wright to get disbarred. If the Hair Flip is the greatest gut punch the series has given me in a positive sense, that's the greatest gut punch the series has given me in a negative sense. No Game No Life Cornered Remix Raiten Menimemo Shouting "Objection!" into the system's mic Logic Chess Phoenix/Edgeworth Ship Venus Great Ace Attorney Being Stingy with the Pursuit Theme - Ace Attorney is a series built on using the right song at the right time, but the OT was never shy about giving you plenty of all of its best songs. I feel like this started to change with AAI, where they had the Presto theme that only played during the final cross-examination, and you see examples of it in every game since. Dual Destinies is very sparing in using its outstanding Announce the Truth theme, for instance. 2-3's Murder Physics The Adventure of the Unbreakable Speckled Band (G1-2) You look like I did after I mistakenly took a swig of Worcestershire sauce.

| LeonhartFour 12/02/21 11:20:41 PM #62 | I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one! Trials & Tribulations - It's still the king of the series to me. Every case in the game is above average. It really fleshed out Mia's backstory and it was a very smart idea to give her an evil female rival in Dahlia. Edgeworth is used brilliantly in both 3-4 and 3-5. It was a perfect ending to Phoenix's story, and I would've been fine if they had actually ended his role in the series here as Takumi originally intended. He could've lived happily ever after with Iris, but alas, it was not meant to be. Phoenix and Edgeworth's Dynamic The Hair Flip Maya Fey Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Protagonist Miles Edgeworth The Golden Court (L-3) - I was not prepared for all the layers of this case (aside from Maya being accused of being a witch; everyone saw that coming). It tugs at your emotions in so many ways. It's one of my favorite endings to a non-epic case in the series because it invokes an uncommon trope (I think 5-6 is the only other time it happens). Everyone believes the case is solved, but Phoenix doesn't feel they've arrived at the complete truth yet and forces the trial to continue. It's a prime example of why Phoenix is the best lawyer. Cross-examining Animals Ladders vs. Stepladders Dhurke Sahdmadhi Psycho-Locks - One of my favorite understated running gags with Edgeworth is that he's terrible at remembering the names of non-human things, and Psycho-Locks is probably the most hilarious example. The first example was calling the Global Studios mascot Mrs. Monkey instead of Mr. Monkey. He also can't remember the name of Little Thief, the Alif Red Statue from E1-2, or Ponco in 5-5. There may be other examples, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head. The Herlock Sholmes "Logic and Reasoning Spectacular" Justice for All The Mood Matrix - I know there are some split opinions on the Mood Matrix, but I loved it. I thought it had great presentation, outstanding music, and it breathed some fresh air into cross-examinations without feeling too gimmicky. They use it to great effect in 5-5 both with Blackquill and the Phantom. Gregory Edgeworth Enoch Drebber Punished Apollo Ryutaro Naruhodo Kay Faraday - Because even Edgeworth needs a perky teenage assistant! Honestly, I was a little disappointed when she first appeared in E1-3 because I was hoping for a lot more Edgeworth/Gumshoe screen time with the AAI games, but they make it work. She manages to bring out a side of Edgeworth you don't see anywhere else, and that's really cool. Spirit Channeling - I know some people hate spirit channeling, but I always knew something exciting was going to happen whenever it made an appearance, so I was good with it. Mia is awesome, so she can show up whenever she wants. I do wish it had more diversity to it, so I was pleased with how they implemented it in 6-3. Investigation ~ Core 2001 I Can't Defeat Tree Man - I had never seen this video before, but I've always enjoyed the Phoenix Wrong stuff. While I appreciate the effort the guy put into writing the lyrics and singing them in tune to the song, I've gotta admit that my favorite part was pausing the video on the "boss select" screen and seeing that Lance Amano was listed as Galaxy Man. Herlock Sholmes Dancing Animations Daley Vigil/Gossip Robin Newman Believe me, any comic relief I may provide is entirely unintentional. Ini & Mimi Miney - I am terrible at seeing plot twists coming, but I also don't really try to guess what's going to happen because I enjoy being surprised. However, this one I saw coming from a mile away because you can't just casually drop the term "facial reconstruction surgery" without it being obvious what happened, at least to me. Sebastian Debeste Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Phoenix Wright 3-1 Phoenix's Shirt and What It Really Stands For Edgeworth's Cravat Dahlia's Constipation The Fact That Phoenix Once Tipped a Cow - This is such a random throwaway line (or half of a line because I'm pretty sure the Judge interrupts Phoenix before he can finish telling the story!). I have zero doubt that this line did not exist in the original Japanese version, and it speaks to just how brilliant the localization process for the series is. Peace, Love, and Understanding Juror No. 4 - So let's see...We had Typewriter Juror, Joan Garrideb, Quinby Altamont, Deaf Surgeon Juror, and Scientist Juror. Yeah, this might be the most consistent quality number for jurors between both games. Moe's Fresh Prince Reference Multiple Witnesses Mechanic - This actually started in Layton/Ace Attorney, so you should play that if you enjoyed it in Great Ace Attorney because I think Layton/AA used it better. In GAA, it's honestly pretty predictable. If I had to point out a flaw with GAA, it's that it's too easy, even by Ace Attorney standards and part of it is how formulaic the testimonies feel. Case 1s That Tease Dynamics in the Final Case The Adventure of the Great Departure (G1-1) I'm not sure I like you wagging your finger at me as though I were some hoser! No Game No Life Cornered Remix - I have never seen No Game No Life, so I'm sure this is great in context, like a lot of Ace Attorney music. As a standalone remix, it's fine, but I'm not the person to ask if you're wanting technical analysis because I'm not good at talking about music. Raiten Menimemo - Eh, he's fine, I guess. Shouting "Objection!" into the system's mic Logic Chess Phoenix/Edgeworth Ship - Phoenix/Iris forever. Seriously though, I get why people ship the two of them because it's a fantastic bromance, but it's not for me. I'm the boring guy who just rolls with the canon pairings. Venus 2-3's Murder Physics The Adventure of the Unbreakable Speckled Band (G1-2) - You look like I did after I mistakenly took a swig of Worcestershire sauce.

| LeonhartFour 12/01/21 11:31:42 PM #42 | I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one! Phoenix and Edgeworth's Dynamic - I love me some foils, and Phoenix and Edgeworth are two of the best. I love analyzing the evolution of relationships between characters, and it's honestly kind of rewarding to see how it develops. Despite how utterly different their personalities are and even though neither one would ever say it aloud, there's a bond of unbreakable trust between them. It was such a treat to see that dynamic at work in 6-5 after a decade (of in-game time) of friendship. The Hair Flip - The single biggest gut punch in the series for me, without a doubt. Like Phoenix, I wanted to believe Engarde was innocent, even as the evidence started to pile up that he was anything but. I thought the game was just trying to troll me, and then Engarde blurted out, "I'm gonna consult myself" and 2-4 became my favorite case ever. Maya Fey Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Protagonist Miles Edgeworth Cross-examining Animals - There's a reason why this link has been in my sig for years now: http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png Ladders vs. Stepladders - One of the great debates of our time. I didn't even realize there was a difference until I played Ace Attorney! I think it's great that they manage to squeeze some version of the argument into every game. Team Stepladder all the way, for the record. Dhurke Sahdmadhi The Herlock Sholmes "Logic and Reasoning Spectacular" Justice for All - While 2-4 is my favorite case, I've never been of the mentality that it basically has to carry the entire game by itself. I can find enjoyable things in every case. In terms of gameplay mechanics, the Magatama was a really cool addition. Pearl is probably one of my all-time favorite child characters in a video game. While I'm not a huge fan of Franziska, I do appreciate how she operates as a foil for both Phoenix and Edgeworth. Gregory Edgeworth - I've always found Gregory fascinating as a character, even back when he was only the victim of DL-6. The dude literally lied as a ghost to protect his son because he thought Miles had accidentally shot him. It was my dream for a long time to have a playable Gregory case, so I was immediately sold on AAI2 once I found out it was actually happening (Spoilers: I voted E2-3 for the poll). Enoch Drebber Punished Apollo - I know some people think Apollo got the short end of the stick in Dual Destinies, which I sorta understand because he doesn't get nearly as much screen time as Phoenix or Athena, but I enjoyed what they did with him because it helped to distinguish him from Phoenix. Apollo doesn't have undying faith in his clients like Phoenix does. He struggles with doubts and needs to base his belief on logic. The showdown between Phoenix and Apollo in 5-5 might be my favorite part of Dual Destinies. Ryutaro Naruhodo Investigation ~ Core 2001 Herlock Sholmes Dancing Animations Daley Vigil/Gossip - I think he's a really cool character, but I have a hard time taking him seriously after this moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGK2vvt2Hic Robin Newman Believe me, any comic relief I may provide is entirely unintentional. Sebastian Debeste - In AAI1, we determined you couldn't defeat Edgeworth in a logic battle, so what was the solution for AAI2? Give him an opponent who is completely incapable of using logic! This may be weird to say, but Edgeworth and Sebastian almost have a Batman/Joker relationship. Some men just want to be the best. Seriously though, Sebastian is kind of a pest for most of the game, but I do enjoy seeing him take down Blaise at the end. Also, his name might be the greatest triumph of the fan translation. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Phoenix Wright 3-1 Phoenix's Shirt and What It Really Stands For - "That 'P' doesn't stand for 'Phoenix' anyway!" Man, playable Mia was so great. She didn't take crap from anyone, not even her own client. I have my own idea of what Mia is implying the P stands for, and I assume that was the joke's intent since the joke was made after he starting blubbering on the witness stand. Edgeworth's Cravat Dahlia's Constipation Peace, Love, and Understanding Moe's Fresh Prince Reference - Cross-examining Moe on day 1 of 2-3 is often painful, although it's not entirely his fault since this is one of those dreaded "you can get punished for pressing" segments. Thankfully, the game does throw you a few bones to make it a bit more bearable, and this is one of them. I think I prefer the A-Team parody better just because of the reaction it gets from the Judge though. Case 1s That Tease Dynamics in the Final Case - If I understand correctly what you're saying here, this would be, what, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, E1-1, and E2-1? It's cool to see them foreshadow something that eventually comes back around for the finale. I know it kind of blew my mind in T&T when they brought Dahlia back after the intro case because it hadn't been done before, but now I'm basically used to it. The Adventure of the Great Departure (G1-1) - This case is probably longer than it needs to be, but I can forgive it because I love most of the characters involved. Ryunosuke's shifty eyes as he raises his hand to volunteer to defend himself is incredible. I love Kazuma as the sidekick. Auchi is the perfect Payne stand-in (as you would expect, I guess). Jezaille Brett is such an eminently hateable villain, and SHUT UP is an amazing sound clip. I'm not sure I like you wagging your finger at me as though I were some hoser! Shouting "Objection!" into the system's mic - A cool idea in principle, but not something I ever found myself wanting to do in practice. I guess I'll do it at the end of each game where they encourage you to do it before the credits roll, but that's about it. Logic Chess - As an idea, it's really cool and I love the aesthetics of it. In terms of execution, it's a bit lacking. There's a timer, but you have to really screw things up to ever be in danger of running out of time. It can get a bit repetitive, especially if you pick wrong dialogue options because there isn't that much extra flavor text. It never really feels like it gets harder for the tougher opponents. It just gets longer. Venus 2-3's Murder Physics - I've got a couple of dirty secrets to share. The first is that I actually like 2-3. It's a lower tier case, sure, but I still enjoy it. The second is that I don't care much about whether a murder was literally possible in reality or not. There's something to be said about people who want too much reality in their fiction! The only time it bothers me is in 4-3, but that's because the physics of the murder are actually an integral part of the case. You look like I did after I mistakenly took a swig of Worcestershire sauce. Phoenix Drive - I initially had no clue what this was or if it was even a real thing, so I had to Google it. I've gotta be honest: Fanmade cases have never held any interest to me, and I've never looked one up or played one. I could've guessed an h-game of the series existed out there somewhere though!

| LeonhartFour 11/30/21 10:49:05 PM #20 | I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one! Maya Fey - One of the best Ace Attorney characters. Sure, she's overused as a dramatic plot device, but her chemistry with Phoenix is unrivaled. Ace Attorney did this weird thing where it feels like Phoenix and Maya have a bunch of cases together, but it's also fewer than you realize. They somehow managed to hit this sweet spot with them where you always look forward to seeing them together without it ever feeling old. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - It's tough to beat the original. It does a great job of telling a simple story in an efficient manner. We're never getting back to the rapid pacing of this game. 6-5 is almost as long as 1-1 through 1-4 combined! That isn't to say they haven't made improvements on the formula because they definitely have, but it's just a nice bit of nostalgia every time I go back to this game now. Protagonist Miles Edgeworth - Playable Edgeworth in 3-5 is one of the greatest examples of fanservice done right in any video game, so I certainly understood wanting to make an entire game or two out of it. For all the flaws the AAI games have, Edgeworth isn't one of them. He has a unique sense of inner monologue compared to the other protagonists. The only quibble I might make is that sometimes he's too smart, so it's difficult to create situations where he's genuinely confused or stumped. Dhurke Sahdmadhi - Perhaps the best defendant in the series (non-main character division). I was pleasantly surprised by how Spirit of Justice handled his character arc. I think it was cool to make him similar to Phoenix because it explains why Apollo looks up to him so much since he reminds him of Dhurke. Jamieson Price was the perfect VA for him, too. "A Dragon never yields" hits just right with his voice. And that twist, man. That twist. The Herlock Sholmes "Logic and Reasoning Spectacular" Enoch Drebber - I could listen to this guy's theme all day. It's so good. You know what else is super good? Every single animation he has. They capture the creepy, almost inhuman vibe of the character so well. I really liked how they handled his character, too. Ryutaro Naruhodo - Having Susato pose as a defense attorney was an excellent intro case gimmick. It was super cute to have her imitate Ryunosuke's animations, too. It's kind of a shame she's only around for one case because it means we don't get to hear more of her amazing theme music. Investigation ~ Core 2001 - One of the definitive Ace Attorney themes. I can immediately hear it in my mind. I wouldn't say it's my favorite investigation theme in the series, but it's probably the most memorable one. You always knew something was about to go down in PW1 when it started playing. Herlock Sholmes Dancing Animations - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WU5sIy_B6A (spoilers for G2-5), the man is a legend Robin Newman - Probably my favorite minor character from Dual Destinies. I get that some people take issue with how she's handled, but I find her irresistably charming. I just love over the top characters, and Robin has two different over the top personalities, whether it's screaming and raging or twirling around and randomly spelling out W-O-R-D-S. Believe me, any comic relief I may provide is entirely unintentional. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Phoenix Wright - It's really cool that this actually happened. Unfortunately, I never played the game, so I have no idea if he's considered good or not. I just loved watching that initial reveal trailer and seeing how silly his moveset was. Edgeworth's Cravat - I had no idea what that thing was called until I played Ace Attorney. It's a fittingly pompous fashion accessory for Edgeworth. Dahlia's Constipation - "What are you saying, Miss Fey?! My perfect little Dollie doesn't POOP!" It's such a great dumb line. I don't know if anyone ever watched that sitcom, "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" with John Ritter (R.I.P.) and Kaley Cuoco, but there was a similar joke once where Kaley's character was aghast to hear her sister tell her boyfriend she was in the bathroom because he wasn't supposed to know she pooped. This is literally the only scene I remember from the show, and it's probably because of this line. Peace, Love, and Understanding - What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? Making it into an absurd pun, even by the series' standard. I feel like you either love SoJ's ridiculous Khura'in name puns or you think they're some of the dumbest things the series has come up with. There's no ambivalent middle ground here. I tend to fall on the side of loving them, but I love bad puns in general! I'm not sure I like you wagging your finger at me as though I were some hoser! Venus - My least favorite of the three street performers. I feel like she just exists to provide an explanation for the fake gunshot, and it's immediately obvious that it had to be one of her firecrackers once you learn she sells them. I don't feel like I have much else to say about her because she didn't leave enough of an impression on me. She does kind of remind me of Kira from Layton/Ace Attorney, just a less interesting version. You look like I did after I mistakenly took a swig of Worcestershire sauce. The Amazing Mr. Hat - Apollo Justice had some weird running gags, and Mr. Hat might have been the worst of them (including Trucy's magic panties). This is mostly because of how they used it in 4-2 to create fake drama in a way that doesn't actually progress anything and is awkwardly dealt with afterwards. It's the worst example of the "last minute save from nowhere" in the series. Mike Meekins - If you were aiming for the bottom of the rankings on the first try, TRE, congratulations! You succeeded. I cannot stand Meekins as a character. They try to give him several gimmicks and none of them are funny. His character design is super off-putting, too. It just doesn't fit with the Ace Attorney style. --- |

sorry to whoever out there likes 4-3 best Piggybacking off of Anagram's FF topic, I figured I'd make an Ace Attorney version. It's been long enough since Great Ace Attorney came out for people to have finished them both, and I'd like to talk about the series as a whole without needing to commit to a full case/character ranking. Anything related to the series is fair game. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png |

| LeonhartFour 11/29/21 11:30:12 PM #177 | Yeah, I guess they'll try to avoid the rematch and they won't drop UGA all the way to 4. so yeah Michigan should probably root for UGA to win because having to play them first would not be ideal --- |

| LeonhartFour 11/29/21 11:25:16 PM #174 | If Bama wins the SEC, I'd say the final rankings will be Michigan, Bama, UGA, Cincy. If UGA wins, it'll be UGA, Michigan, Cincy, OK State/Notre Dame so either way I think Michigan winds up playing Cincy as long as they both win --- |

| LeonhartFour 11/29/21 7:18:05 PM #3 | 7.5/10 I enjoy the concept of seeing the same story told from two different perspectives and how it shapes the way you perceive the story depending on who's telling it. It's cleverly done here, although it's a bit short and I wish there had been more depth to it. --- |

I didn't expect Adol to be a silent protagonist, but I'm guessing he's always been one and the series just hasn't bothered to break away from that, like Persona. Also, what's the deal with all these locations and civilizations that are sorta close to ours but slightly different, like the Romuns? Is this supposed to be Earth or a facsimile of it? --- |

Your NFC Wild Cards are the Rams, 49ers, and Vikings. also the Seahawks currently have the worst record for an NFC team not named the Lions, and they have the same number of wins as the Jets time to move on from Pete? especially if Russ gets more serious about wanting to be traded in the offseason --- |
