Paratroopa1 03/28/24 1:30:45 AM #10 | MrSmartGuy posted... This game knows how to play with the emotions of its players. Starting off a 2nd case announcing a murder while your milf mentor is unaccounted for. How rude.It feels safe to say that the game was playing off of 1-2 here |

Paratroopa1 03/27/24 8:15:24 PM #3 | 7/10 Way overhated! Falls into the upper half of AA cases pretty comfortably for me. Yeah, I found the murder silly the first time I played too but hot take: the circus is fun actually? The cast is entertaining, Acro is a great villain, and it's just all-around classic Ace Attorney. There are only five cases in the original trilogy where we get Phoenix and Maya together for the whole thing, and this is one of them, so it's worth appreciating for that alone imo. Still love Franziska too. I dunno, I think this case is great (it's a 7 because the competition at the top is really tight). |

Only got two -1's (and one of them was me lol) Dud of the Day: Mewtwo Won the division but kind of a shaky result! Sure, much stronger division overall than Krookodile's but Mewtwo ended up being too divisive to really open up a gap. |

Paratroopa1 03/27/24 5:04:51 AM #55 | I was honestly half-wondering if everyone who said Dire Dire Docks REALLY meant Jolly Roger Bay, which I feel is almost inarguably more iconic, lol The only way DDD is sort of iconic is that it's one of the only levels you HAVE to enter in a speedrun, otherwise it's pretty clearly a filler level |

Topic | Playing Tyrion Cuthbert, the best non-ace attorney ace attorney game |
Paratroopa1 03/26/24 11:24:21 PM #6 | Yeah, your reactions so far are similar to mine. I think the character designs in this game are actually quite good, but the animation is unfortunately very lacking - but I can't blame them too much because I think there's just one artist responsible for basically the entire game and they did a phenomenal job regardless. The use of magic in the game is cool. I really like how the entries for spells read like D&D entries and that provides you with a lot of information you can use to find contradictions in. |

Dud of the Day: Ekans Not that Ekans was ever a wildly popular Pokemon in gen 1, but Shroomish topping Ekans might be the most surprised I've been by a result to date. Bonus dud of the day goes to Silvally, who they really tried to make a popular Pokemon and BOY did it not take. |
Topic | Rate the Ace Attorney case: Reunion, and Turnabout (2-2) |
Paratroopa1 03/26/24 8:29:12 PM #4 | 7/10 It's solid. I like Franziska on day 1 a lot - the thing about her being taken the most seriously here is definitely true. I generally like the mystery about the bullet hole in the screen and stuff. And obviously the twist at the end is fun. What I find less great are the pretty dry investigation sequences (I think this case unfortunately suffers a lot from locking Maya up) and the fact that really the only thing you prove to show that Ini Miney is guilty is that she didn't see Pearl in the hallway, which felt like a really lame contradiction to pin her down with. Also never really getting to confront Morgan Fey just feels wrong. |

Kingambit and Tatsugiri repping gen 9 well by taking two second-place spots. And hey, even Iron Boulder and Glimmet avoided elimination.

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 |
