Topic	Leonhart ranks anything Ace Attorney related (Spoilers)
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!
