Maya Fey

Dual Destinies - I think I might be the biggest Dual Destinies fan on the board. This isn't an attempt to pat myself on the back. I'm just saying I'm not sure anyone rates the game as highly as I do. 5-2, 5-3, 5-5, and 5-6 are all top 15 caliber cases (actually I guess I'd have to recalibrate this now that we have 10 more cases!), and 5-4 is sneaky good, too. 5-1 is whatever, so it's not like T&T where every case is a hit, but I love it.

Susato Mikotoba - Susato is a delight throughout the entire Great Ace Attorney saga. I like that your sidekick is hyper competent. It reminds me of the few times in the original trilogy when Mia would be channeled and stick around as the sidekick, which was always great. I like that she also has a playful side and her fangirling over Sholmes is fun, too. Oh, and her Serenade theme is fantastic.

Furio Tigre - The best villains are the ones that get Phoenix personally invested in taking them down. Those mainly exist in the epic cases, but Tigre manages to bring that side of him out in 3-3. The concept of Phoenix having an impostor is brilliant, and then they throw the mindscrew at you that he's nothing like Phoenix aside from having the same hairstyle. The cardboard badge is the height of absurdity in a series that relishes in absurdity, and I loved Phoenix's BIGGEST PHONY OF ALL speech when he takes him down since he doesn't normally give "The Reason You Suck" speeches.

The Forgotten Turnabout (E2-4) - I'll say this up front: I don't like Blaise. The crying thing with the goggles is stupid. I think he ultimately winds up being kind of toothless despite his bluster, much like Redd White. The rest of the case is great though. Edgeworth willingly relinquishing his badge in order to protect Kay is a powerful moment, as is Kay regaining her memories after he gives her back her Promise Notebook. I really liked how they used the storeroom to do a bunch of throwbacks to previous cases. That was a nice touch.

Ryutaro Naruhodo

Zak Gramarye is a Jerk - A fantastic webcomic that points out all the terrible stuff Zak Gramarye did during the events of Apollo Justice despite the fact that he's not really presented as a bad guy in the game itself. It really highlights the problems with the writing in that game, but at least you'll be laughing about it!

Ema Skye

Spirit Channeling

Polly - A scenario that seems so utterly unbelievable until there was a recent real life story about potentially calling a parrot as a witness! The real star of the Polly cross-examination is Manfred von Karma. In addition to retraining the freakin' parrot to ensure there are no loose ends, he has several fantastic one-liners, including the one that marks the top tier of this ranking topic! In fact, I've always wanted to name my dog Phoenix because of one of his lines, except the dog I adopted a couple years ago was a girl, so I settled for Maya instead.

Presenting Profiles - I am all for as much dialogue as possible when I play Ace Attorney, so when Justice for All added the ability to present profiles, I was thrilled. I'm sad they've abandoned it since the original trilogy, but at the same time, I sort of get it. It's not used in investigations in any meaningful way since they can just give you a prompt to choose a profile when it's necessary.

Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in - First off, I love the Audience Chamber theme that accompanies her scenes when you meet her in her capacity as queen. As an opponent, she starts off strong because she can basically rewrite the law as she sees fit and essentially declares Dhurke and company Guilty with a wave of her hand. However, the first time the judge decides she can't get away with that, she loses that mystique and she's not really a great opponent anymore afterwards. The final TAKE THAT when you take her down is still satisfying though.

Juror No. 4
Japanifornia

The Great Ace Attorney - I'll assume this is the first game only and not both games in totality. Ranking the first game is hard because the format is so strange. You have two trial-only cases, one case that has no trial at all, and no case with multiple days. Many of the mysteries presented aren't answered until the second game, so it's not self-contained like all the other entries are. It's still a lot of fun though!

Moe's Fresh Prince Reference

The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro (G1-4) - I think this case kind of epitomizes how strange the entire first game is in general (see above). This is clearly a set-up for its companion case in the second game. You enter the trial day with literally three pieces of evidence in your inventory. One of them is your armband, and another is a map. That being said, I love how they use the Garridebs and Beates as married couple foils. Joan is the worst though.

Save Scumming - I don't have a problem with save scumming in any game. I save at the beginning of every cross-examination my first time through now. However, my first time through the original game, I would not allow myself to save except when the game prompted me to do so. I actually made it all the way to the final save point in 1-5, but that last segment is so freakin' long that after a few failures I gave up and never looked back on save scumming.

Ace Attorney's Standards for Guilt and Innocence - On the surface, of course this is ridiculous, but at the same time, the conceit is necessary for the game to work. The system has to be rigged against the defense for maximum drama. That's why I was legitimately stunned when 5-4 ended in a Not Guilty without catching the culprit in the process...until the big twist at the very end. One of the few moments in the entire series to elicit a verbal WHAAAAAAAAAAT from me.

2-3's Murder Physics

Northward: Turnabout Express (Ace Attorney Anime Season 2) - I'll be honest: I remember nothing about this arc aside from the fact that they held a trial on a moving train. I appreciate that they tried to craft a new case for the anime since they needed some filler for season 2 due to only adapting one game as opposed to adapting two games in season 1, but it's not memorable at all. Maybe I just need to rewatch the anime since I did enjoy it.

Yeah, I think I basically agree. It's logically very dumb and inconsistent, but as the games are fundamentally stories we need a mechanism to find out what really happened. It would be really unsatisfying if cases ended without us finding the real culprit, even though that being required would be ridiculous in real life.

---

1-3 is the only time it really bothers me.

---

The Ace Attorney stage plays

---

One thing I noticed about 1-3 on a replay that improved my view of the case is that during the third day investigation, Gumshoe flat out tells Phoenix that the case has broken down to the point that there are people who don't believe in the case against Powers anymore, but don't know where else to turn. This is an easily overlooked mark of self-awareness by the case that it knows how innocent he looks - It's an intentional part of the case. It's a moment that, like many other moments in the series, shows how inherently flawed the law can be. The law itself has no idea what it should be doing heading into day 3, and Edgeworth himself has his first moment of "Truth" in the series when he quickly realizes it's Vasquez and makes a snap decision to help Phoenix take her down.

On a replay, 1-3 took a fairly significant jump up for me. It's a case that's very deliberate in what it does, and Powers looking almost-guaranteed innocent at the end of day 2 is absolutely intentional as both a plot device and a character device for Edgeworth.

I remember once coming up with a single argument that could theoretically work against him, but I don't remember the argument itself offhand.

This reminds me of my own "jumped the shark" experience with Dual Destinies when the Phantom pulls off his mask the first time to reveal Starbuck's face underneath. I was thoroughly confused until they revealed it was just another mask!

Also 1-3 is still one of my favorite cases

---

I really liked Phantom's breakdown. He's been wearing the "faces" of others for so long he no longer has an identity of his own, and he desperately tears mask after mask off trying to find his "real" face.

Godot - What a wild character this guy is. He shouldn't be as likable or compelling as he is because he's not a great prosecutor and his "plan" in 3-5 is insane. Yet Godot is full of charm with his coffee addiction, his illogical metaphors, and his constant belittling of Phoenix, not to mention those goggles. I appreciate how T&T slowly rolls out his story, and having him be Mia's assistant in 3-4 was a clever move because it explains so much of why he is the way he is in a way probably nothing else could have.

Dual Destinies
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

"My client...Matt Engarde is..." - It's one of the great choices in the series, not because it's significant to the story, but because it's intensely personal, both for Phoenix and the player. Your first time through, you can't know what your choice will result in. It's also a really cool understated moment that the Court Record button disappears when Phoenix says, "I can't rely on the evidence to save me," and the game also won't allow you to save.

Spirit of Justice - Dual Destinies had to play it a bit safe in order to reestablish Ace Attorney as a viable series, but once that was accomplished, they were really able to try something new here. Putting Phoenix in Khura'in pushed the character forward in a way that hadn't happened in a while, but then for the game to hand the reins over to Apollo for the finale after Phoenix laid the groundwork was a bold move. I respect the heck out of the writers for doing it.

Rayfa Padma Khura'in - The smartest thing Spirit of Justice did was partner Rayfa with Phoenix for 6-3. If you only ever encountered Rayfa in her courtroom capacity, I feel like she'd be intolerable because I couldn't stand her just based on 6-1. Watching Phoenix slowly win her over was great. It's also probably the best thing they've done with Phoenix as a character since the original trilogy.

The Mood Matrix
The Adventure of the Runaway Room (G1-3)

Athena Cykes - I appreciate the series introducing a character like Athena because she brings something new to the table with her psychology and the Mood Matrix. I like that they give her a more fiery personality to differentiate her from the other lawyers. However, introducing her also put the series in a tough spot because it's hard to balance tritagonists. Athena got the short end of the stick in Spirit of Justice, unfortunately, but we'll see what they do with her going forward. Also, Courtroom Revolutionnaire is the best theme the series has produced since Dual Destinies.

The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story (G1-5) - This case takes forever to get going. I feel like it might be the longest delay between the start of the case and the committing of the crime. That being said, once we finally get to the trial itself, it gets pretty good. Ashley Graydon is a solid epic case villain, the Skulkin brothers are great comic relief baddies, and the fact that Vilen Borshevik is a jurist was such a brilliant twist that it's a shame nothing else came of it.

Khura'in - If you thought Japanifornia's standards for guilt and innocence were unreasonable, hoo boy. A country where being a defense attorney makes you complicit in the crime is just crazy enough to work. It makes you wonder how they follow that up in Ace Attorney 7. Do they try to go even crazier or just dial it back to normal? Maybe one day we'll find out!

Eve Darklaw - She's probably my favorite original character from Layton/Ace Attorney. One of my favorite wrinkles is that she brought Layton to Labyrinthia to foil the Storyteller's plans but Phoenix getting there was a total accident. She's also legitimately hilarious in the bonus episodes, which is a nice contrast to how she's serious to a fault in the main game.

Manfred von Karma - He's still the single most fearsome opponent in Ace Attorney history in my book. I once counted how many pressed statements von Karma DOESN'T object to on the first trial day, and other than the final Lotta testimony (which he sits out of because he's upset she ruined his perfect plan), there are two. Two. Phoenix needs multiple miracles to even stand a chance of beating von Karma, and taking him down with the metal detector is still an all-time great moment.

Trucy Wright - As absurd of a concept as Trucy is as a character, I still love her. She's the one bright spot in the sadsack world that is Apollo Justice. Phoenix calls her his light, and she really was the light of that game. I loved what they did with her in 6-2 as the defendant, and her testimony became one of my favorites. We still need a case with a Phoenix/Trucy team-up though (the beginning of 5-5 doesn't count)!

Also, did you know he never breaks more than 17 hallowed chalices in any one trial?

The Updated Autopsy Report - I've seen people suggest that this was a genuine updated autopsy report, but I feel like it's meant to come across as a dirty play by Edgeworth, who saw the potential contradiction of Mia being unable to write Maya's name in blood if she died instantly and closed the loophole, hence the "I'm a sham/you're a sham/this detective's a sham!" choice. I feel like 1-2 did a great job of showing how hard the deck is stacked against the defense, and this is a big reason why.

The Mixing Board - This is such a cool piece of evidence. It was pretty fun digging through the songs trying to figure out what's off, even though most of the time it was fairly obvious what you were trying to find. It's certainly better than examining that video tape!

Bonny and Betty de Famme - I think I appreciate them as a duo more and more over time. The twin reveal is one of my favorite silly moments in Spirit of Justice. Bonny also has one of the best animations in the series when she lifts her hat to reveal the bunny except there's no bunny there. Then she looks under the hat with a confused stare before turning back to the camera with that winning smile. So good.

Kristoph's Demon Hand - The last trial day of 4-4 is so dumb. It only has one testimony, and it's this Perceive where the camera's focus automatically starts exactly where you need it to be looking. This is Apollo's one contribution to the climax of the game that bears his name. Dude got such a raw deal.

Ace Attorney Stage Plays

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - As a concept, it's a really cool idea, but I just don't think they knew what to do with it quite yet in the first game. AAI1 walked so that AAI2 could fly. Edgeworth is still a great protagonist, but the game has no truly great cases, unfortunately.

Apollo's Backstories - One of my favorite self-aware lines in Spirit of Justice is when Apollo goes, "I grew up in Khura'in. Did I...never mention that?" Yeah, you'd think it'd have come up in the previous two games...! It's kind of wild how utterly uninteresting Phoenix is compared to...well, every other important character in the series. His childhood trauma was getting accused of stealing 37 bucks.

The Blue Badger - What a wriggling piece of plywood this thing is. I feel like the Blue Badger is probably overdone as a whole in Ace Attorney, but it feels like that's par for the course with stuff that originated in 1-5. I don't know why the series is so proud of 1-5 that they feel like they had to keep bringing everything back from it multiple times.

Extraterritorial Rights - You'd think the trial would be over once you find a way to revoke Alba's extraterritorial rights, but you'd be wrong. I feel like E1-5 wanted to craft an epic final boss, and while I do largely enjoy it, it goes on way too long. The climax of the case was exposing Shih-na as Calisto Yew, and then the game goes on for hours afterwards. Truly the Trails of Cold Steel II moment of the Ace Attorney series.

I think a big part of it is how the game presented them as if there were some kind of deeper mystery to them. Like with the narration and the pacing. At least that's how I personally remember it anyway.
