Someone on this board (unfortunately I forget who) made a post years ago about how Godot is probably the only prosecutor in the series who lets Phoenix win 3-3 the way he does. You have to think even Payne musters some kind of objection there, but Godot just lets it slide.

Anyway I think about that post a lot in topics like this. Godot's an A+ character but they really didn't know what to do with him as a prosecutor.

I mean...that's kind of exactly why Godot is good. He's got a personal vendetta against Phoenix but as a former defense attorney he doesn't care very much about subverting justice to uphold his record or whatever, he knows when to let it slide. Then, when it becomes intensely personal in the last case, he's allowed to let loose more. He's maybe the only AA prosecutor that steps out of the "ruthless prosecutor" archetype that really clicks (excluding Edgeworth who settles into a devil's advocate role that also works extremely well).

Honestly I think a lot of the AA opponents are pretty inconsistent and they struggle with the archetypes. Franziska and Blackquill feel like imitations of Manfred and Edgeworth even when they're occasionally good, Klavier feels like a much worse Godot, none of the rest can really compete with the 3 greats imo.
