Bro what even is this frigid outskirts shit The worst thing they've ever done intentionally by a wide margin. Each DLC has an area that the idea was to force co-op without actually forcing co-op. None of them are great but this one is not only awful, playing co-op really doesn't "solve" anything about it. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

I've never really understood the strong distaste a lot of people have for Yew. I mean her laugh shtick is stupid but I can just tune out for a sec whenever she does it. Honestly this is a mostly pretty solid case to me. Really most of its points are deducted at the expense of Edgeworth's character. If I wanted to DA the shit out of it I could argue this outcome just hardened him further, but that's probably putting more thought into it than the writers did. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

Twitter won't even load comments past a certain point so literally everyone there has paid for it.
To put it another way, we somehow live in a world where the top YouTube comments are a more accurate source of information than the top Twitter replies. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

Edgeworth shows up and goes 'eeey sorry I couldn't help you out back then', and it's like, why Edgeworth? Why couldn't you or anyone else help Phoenix out back then?"I'm sorry Phoenix but it was a really crazy couple of weeks before that happened and I needed a good 7 years to decompress." Real talk though, the only reason for the massive time gap in this game is Trucy. Even though 7 years isn't enough time to fool us into thinking it's his biological daughter, they needed some time gap to give it an air of mystery and forge a believable bond between her and Phoenix. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

It's 4-0 in particular that really seals up the minimum ranking for me. It's fucking baffling that they have to straight up just have Klavier say you can't present the non-forged evidence and that's that. Phoenix can't even be like, "So here's this evidence that some little girl just gave me out of nowhere. Please put it under the highest forensic scrutiny possible." He just goes along with it as if he obtained that evidence completely normally. Also both AAI games take place before 4-0 so canonically this is the last time we have seen Gumshoe. What a fucking waste. As for the rest of 4-4 I don't have much to add that hasn't been said. It would probably be more like a 4 for me though. Also it's time to post this in case anyone hasn't seen it, but parody aside it really does put into perspective how bafflingly batshit Zak really is: Edit: It's multiple panels and the embed is terrible, so best to actually open it in a new tab. https://imgur.com/a/8QVtO --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

To me this is every bit as good as 3-1. You could say the greatest weakness of this case is that the rest of the game fails spectacularly to follow up on its set up. Kristoph's motivation makes no sense since Zak couldn't have implicated him about anything, nothing Zak does at any point is the least bit sane, and Phoenix's characterization here goes out the window almost immediately. But I truly do not hold it against this case because if the rest of the story held up these things didn't need to be true. Olga was a great example of a non-guilty witness who actually had every reason to lie. The first usage of Perceive might be the only time I truly like it, particularly in AJ where they confine it to trials and not investigations. Your assistant being the murderer might be the biggest twist to the meta they've ever done. Revealing that Phoenix actually did manipulate this crime scene culminating in Apollo punching him after the trial is such a great finish. Shame about the rest of the game though. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

Misty staying quiet because she felt she didn't deserve to have Maya know her (one of the worst parental tropes because it gives no regard to the feelings of the child you're neglecting) is really dumb. What's even worse to me is that assuming Misty's plan went off without a hitch, Morgan would have simply had Pearls summon Dahlia again. Even if Morgan dies Pearls very likely still keeps trying on her own. Pearls had to be made to understand the full weight of what was going on one way or another. It's hard to even give Godot a complete pass from that angle.
