Recently, I had a bunch of users submit rankings of Ace Attorney Characters. We had quite a few votes, and I've finished tallying the results! I gave a little more weight to people's top 20 lists, and I think we've wound up with a pretty good list. We'll see, though.

Expect short writeups for some of these characters because yeah they exist and that's about it.

Why 367? That's how many people ranked! Our biggest list yet! Note: I tried to mitigate characters who weren't on more lists slightly, so that leaving a character off a list didn't hurt them as much. This is less true of characters on 5 or fewer lists.)

Special Thanks to everyone who submitted write-ups and who voted!

#366th: Ka-Shi Nou
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/b888721a.png
Highest Rank: 94th
Lowest Rank: 327th
Highest Percentile: 32.43%
Lowest Percentile: .36%
Average Percentile: 7.41%
Number of lists: 15

Our last place character is Ka-Shi Nou. He's a pretty forgettable character that adds very little to Ace Attorney Investigations. Especially in a case that is already long enough imo. He has nothing on the original Mask De Masque. Or really any characters in the series. I don't think we even really learn anything about him.

Mask De Masque II, aka Ka-Shi Nou takes the last spot on my list. In AAI1-5, he is a thief hired by Manny Coachen to steal a statue, I think. In any case, hes the second victim of a case that really didnt need two victims. Theres absolutely zero backstory to this guy and he couldnt be less important. He also is responsible for drawing out what is already an extremely drawn out case by opening the player up to more Larry/Oldbag shenanigans. - Colliding

Its actually fucking embarrassing that they thought it would be a great bit to bring back Mask De*Masque as a copycat for no reason, it just reeks of desperation - Paratroopa1

In case you read this name and, like me, could only wonder "Who?", he was De*Masque II in AAI-5. That's.... really all I got for him. - MrSmartGuy

#365th: Selden (Great Ace Attorney: Resolve)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1b27db6c.png
Highest Rank: 328th
Lowest Rank: 269th
Highest Percentile: 17.72%
Lowest Percentile: 1.33%
Average Percentile: 7.33%
Number of lists: 13

Selden was a prisoner who hid a fairly important treasure, but never actually appears in the game. He's definitely one of those "he exists' characters. He shares a name with a Sherlock Holmes character.

Does this guy's portrait even ever show up in-game? I swear I don't even remember it at all. - MrSmartGuy

He has one line and never appears so I dont even know why hes on this list - Paratroopa

#364th: Iron Infant (Ace Attorney Investigations)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/38d6c10e.png
Highest Rank: 299th
Lowest Rank: 299th
Highest Percentile: 8.31%
Lowest Percentile: 8.31%
Average Percentile: 8.31%
Number of lists: 1

Well this certainly exists. It even plays a minor part in the final case of AAI. Yet it's still ranked higher than Mask De Masque 2. Feels more like a prop than a character (or in the case of the game, evidence rather than a character) but I digress!

#363rd: Alf Aldown (Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1b7d6413.png
Highest Rank: 171st
Lowest Rank: 315th
Highest Percentile: 30.46%
Lowest Percentile: 1.91%
Average Percentile: 8.71%
Number of lists: 14

RA victim from AAI2. We don't learn a whole lot about him, but he plays a pretty significant role in plot of the game. He's Rosie Ringer's boyfriend, and is killed when he thinks he's witnessing the kidnapping of Di-Jun Wang.

lol nice name - Paratroopa1

get bricked idiot - MrSmartGuy

#362nd: Cece Yew (Ace Attorney Investigations)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c1a8c4f0.png
Highest Rank: 316th
Lowest Rank: 316th
Highest Percentile: 3.08%
Lowest Percentile: 3.08%
Average Percentile: 3.08%
Number of lists: 1

Another character that definitely exists. We never really learn much about her other than that Calisto Yew is her sister. Of course that's not even true. She was an only child. But her death causes the formation of the Yatagarasu, which is pretty significant at least.

#361st: Paht Rohl (Ace Attorney: Spirits of Justice)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1027b59c.jpg
Highest Rank: 149th
Lowest Rank: 312th
Highest Percentile: 32.73%
Lowest Percentile: 1.80%
Average Percentile: 11.76%
Number of lists: 15

A character from Spirits of Justice. He wanted to be a monk, but ended up as a burglar. He tried to steal the orb, but it had already been stolen. He encouraged Albhi Urgaid and was ultimately killed by Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin. For a tutorial case, that one is a bit long too.

oh i get it patrol haha - MrSmartGuy

Paht Rohl? Thats really the best you could come up with? Wouldnt even be on this list if he didnt get merked - Paratroopa1

Kane Bullard is less forgettable, ironically, because the game makes several jokes at his expense about how unremarkable he is.

#360th: Mack Rell (Ace Attorney Investigations)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d7a8ebfa.png
Highest Rank: 76th
Lowest Rank: 332nd
Highest Percentile: 44.44%
Lowest Percentile: 1.44%
Average Percentile: 12.65%
Number of lists: 16

One of the more than a few hitmen in the Ace Attorney Universe. Murdered by his own defense attorney. And the person who hired him for the job in the first place. He doesn't seem like the smartest bulb in the bunch.

If I'm not mistaken, his one role in the series is to show up and claim his defense attorney is the Yatagarasu. K. - MrSmartGuy
(Note: He actually accuses the prosecutor!)

Technically this dude does have a speaking line, which might make him the least important named character with a speaking line - Paratroopa1

#359th: Joan Garrideb (Great Ace Attorney Adventures)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d3714964.png
Highest Rank: 59th
Lowest Rank: 333rd
Highest Percentile: 64.20%
Lowest Percentile: .30%
Average Percentile: 14.52%
Number of lists: 18

Our first culprit! albeit an accidental one. She's not particularly sympathetic, even despite the circumstances. She's married to John Garrideb, and is a bit of an abusive spouse. There could have been a lot of ways to go with her character to make her more sympathetic like realizing it was an accident, and trying to get Soseki Natsume acquitted without admitting the truth

I will never know why Ace Attorney leans on physical abuse for their comedy so much. You will likely notice many of my other rankings reflect this opinion later. But this is the character that suffers the most. She regularly scalds her husband with hot coffee, slaps him so hard it leaves red marks on his face, and throws deadly items at him during a misunderstanding, which then very well could have led to the death of an innocent passerby. In order to try and continue to deny involvement, she then manipulates her fellow jurors into convicting an innocent foreign man. What a colossal, irredeemable piece of shit she is. - MrSmartGuy

Jesus christ what were they thinking. GAA1 was really threatening to lose me there for a bit because they thought this would be a funny character. Not funny at all - Paratroopa1

While the twist is funny, the Prosecution and Defense would have had her removed from the jury almost instantly. Also it's rather disappointing nothing ever came of the fact that the jury pools weren't as random as they should have been. - Runemistress

#358th: Kane Bullard (Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/67a59cff.jpg
Highest Rank: 65th
Lowest Rank: 326th
Highest Percentile: 57.06%
Lowest Percentile: 2.11%
Average Percentile: 14.36%
Number of lists: 17

Our first original trilogy character! And it's no surprise that it's a Victim. He's a blackmailer who was blackmailing someone. He also conveniently forgot to address his blackmail letter. Just another character who has no lines, and we know little to nothing about.

I dont like how completely beside the point this guy is in the case where he dies, hes just some random bastard - Paratroopa1

Not the best blackmailer in the world. Get a new hobby, bud. - MrSmartGuy

#357th: Artie Frost (Ace Attorney Investigations: Prosecutor's Resolve)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8a51e5bf.png
Highest Rank: 188th
Lowest Rank: 330th
Highest Percentile: 34.15%
Lowest Percentile: 1.20%
Average Percentile: 13.61%
Number of lists: 15

Might be one of the most important characters in Ace Attorney, at least as far as setting events in motion go. But ultimately still not very popular. He's also Bronco Knight's father.

Everyone participating in the dessert competition sucks. - MrSmartGuy

Cool art I guess - Paratroopa1

#356th: Manny Coachen (Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d8d8e98e.jpg

Lowest Rank: 331st
Highest Percentile: 51.35%
Lowest Percentile: 1.20%
Average Percentile: 15.02%
Number of lists: 15

He killed Cece Yew. If Manfred Von Karma was prosecutor, I think we would have avoided a bunch of AAI. Where's a corrupt prosecutor when you need one!? Not particularly sympathetic, but has some people who think he's an interesting enough character to put him in their top half.

One of the worst characters in the series because besides being a completely generic guy, they spill way too much ink on him. Hes way too important for how boring he is and thats worse than being a throwaway. AAI1 is just written really badly - Paratroopa1

career criminal, I'm glad he's dead - MrSmartGuy

Joan was my last place so Im very happy
she got bounced so early. Agree with everything that was said. There are parts of that case I actually like but the fact they try to use her in a comedic role felt super gross.

There are some loathsome characters in this series I love but Joan is the one I feel like they completely whiffed on mostly because of the weird way they try to frame it.

We don't really ever learn much about Amelie Fenn other than that she's Shaun Fenn's mother, and Verity Gavelle's sister. And that's about it honestly. We don't even know what she looks like.

Another victim, which I don't remember too well despite having played the case just last year. He's killed by his co-conspirator.

I feel like his whole character boils down to "Interpol Agent" and that's all. Miles Edgeworth nearly gets accused of his murder. I'd like to imagine there's a universe where Miles Edgeworth has to call Phoenix Wright and say "Yes, Wright? I've been accused of murder. Yes, again. I need you to represent me again." AAI really doesn't have the best victims.

We never learn anything about him, other than that LeBlanc notes that he played on his phone a lot, which makes him canonically the closest thing Ace Attorney has to a gacha gamer. - MrSmartGuy

AAI1 sure is bad at giving its victims, uh, any personality traits - Paratroopa1

A kidnapping victim from Ace Attorney Investigations. He faked his own kidnapping. He kinda sucks tbh. Total douchnozzle rich scumbag.

I do really like the bit where his damage animation involves him losing his handcuffs and then putting them back on - Paratroopa1

Kind of a dickwad. But I still stand by that he has the best breakdown of Investigations 1. Confess the Truth 2009 is a top 5 song in the series, and watching Lance break out of his handcuffs and burst into tears as it starts up is one of the more memorable moments of a horribly unmemorable game for me. - MrSmartGuy

I like Bucky a decent bit, he's kinda adorable. Not mad about him this low though.

And I'm glad Joan is in the Bottom 10. Just a nasty and repetitive character.

I reserved my bottom 7 for characters you actually interact with, but I actively hate.

Then there's a huge portion of just nobodies.

And then the characters I only dislike.

Joan's my last place!

She's not the character I hate personally the most, but she's the most "why" character. Bad design, awful gimmick, no depth, pretty large role, and just...no redeeming characteristics at all. There are characters I personally hate more, but there's at least a few things I like about them. Joan's got nothing.

#350th: Deid Mann (Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/b2570686.png
Highest Rank: 75th
Lowest Rank: 325th
Highest Percentile: 39.94%
Lowest Percentile: 2.33%
Average Percentile: 15.77%
Number of lists: 15

Clearly outdated name. Gen Z will never get it. Should have called him Unalive Mann. Seems like a decent enough guy. Seems a little redundant, since we already had Cece Yew.

Perhaps the greatest name in Ace Attorney history - MrSmartGuy

Its low hanging fruit and Im not biting - Paratroopa1

#349th: Odie Asman (Great Ace Attorney: Resolve)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8060bbce.png
Highest Rank: 161st
Lowest Rank: 316th
Highest Percentile: 50.77%
Lowest Percentile: 4.78%
Average Percentile: 16.29%
Number of lists: 14

Odie Asman used to be a reporter, but then he became an investor. And he's pretty tied into the big picture of Ace Attorney Resolve. He's the reporter that got information from Enoch Drebber that Genshin Asogi was seen alive. Which set so much of the plot in motion. Ultimately we don't really learn much about him. Including why he chose to work with drebber later.

The least important character that you have to stare at for the longest time because you dont fucking know what youre supposed to click on - Paratroopa1

Guy was apparently a criminal mastermind, yet forgot who Enoch Drebber was after that was his entire intro to crime. Dumbass. - MrSmartGuy

#348th: Pal Meraktis (Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/37f82561.jpg
Highest Rank: 70th
Lowest Rank: 324th
Highest Percentile: 57.36%
Lowest Percentile: 3.86%
Average Percentile: 18.56%
Number of lists: 18

Almost kills Phoenix Wright. Terrible Doctor. Might be the worst person in a case filled with terrible people. Would love to see Gumshoe and him have a conversation, if only for him calling people "Pal". "Hey Pal!" "WHAT?!" "Not you pal, him."

Maybe the worst doctor ever? Can't even figure out if someone's dead. - MrSmartGuy

Trying a bit hard with that name arent we - Paratroopa1

#347th: Rosie Ringer (Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5c381b66.png
Highest Rank: 132nd
Lowest Rank: 314th
Highest Percentile: 49.85%
Lowest Percentile: 2.87%
Average Percentile: 17.26%
Number of lists: 15

I'm guessing she's another character someone got mixed up and almost put them in their top half. Rosie Ringer is a defense attorney. I wish we had learned more about her.Would have been nice to see something about her as a defense attorney, especially since she made it on to the Prosecutorial Excellence Committee.

The degree to which I didnt remember this character at all and had to look up when she was even mentioned speaks volumes - Paratroopa1

I'm really doing my best to at least give each character, no matter how miniscule, at least a few words to describe something that happened around them. This one has me at a total loss. - MrSmartGuy

#346th: Selena Sprocket (Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/bf2a6904.png
Highest Rank: 322nd
Lowest Rank: 173rd
Highest Percentile: 48.35%
Lowest Percentile: 1.76%
Average Percentile: 17.08%
Number of lists: 14

Selena seems like a nice enough of a person. She gave up her life to protect her brother. And it seemed like she'd make a decent President of her company. For a dead character who's not a victim, she has more personality than a lot of the other victims of actual cases.

dead sister - MrSmartGuy

Shes pretty at least, good on her for dying so she didnt have to appear in this shit case - Paratroopa1

It'll be interesting to see how this list shakes out once we get to "real" characters. So far it's only Joan Garrideb, Bucky Whet and Lance Amano. I sort of like Lance actually I had him ranked like... not in the cellar

Highest Percentile: 30.46%

For some reason, I remember nothing much about Ace Attorney vs Professor Layton. Robbs is a criminal, and he had a partner named Muggs.

I wonder if anyone but me is even going to rank these idiots and if theyll separate them at all - Paratroopa1

Ignaized - MrSmartGuy

One of the many many many magicians in Ace Attorney. Seriously, there's a LOT of magicians. I think there may be more magicians than defense attorneys, detectives, or prosecutors. If not, it's probably close. We don't really know much about him, other than he was a big fan of Mr. Reus. We don't even know if his part in the prank was in good fun, or malicious.

Kind of a douchebag? One of the orchestrators of trying to prank a 17 year old girl into thinking she accidentally murdered him. Fuck outta here. - MrSmartGuy

lol man of mystery. Did ultimately contribute to a really cool magic trick - Paratroopa1

Seems like a mostly decent guy. Wanted to learn to make Udon Noodles and try to talk Geiru into taking a different path. Not a very good communicator. And that was his tragic downfall.

God bless this stupid case and its rakugo goofuses -Paratroopa1

He both cared, and didn't care? Seems inconsistent as a character, but it's not like we know him for long. - MrSmartGuy

#342nd: Zinc Leblanc (Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth)

When I played this case, I thought he was going to be the culprit. Or at least involved in the smuggling. Boy was I wrong! Anyway, you can have my million cents on this character: He's 'eh' at best.

Completely awful character in every way, pretty sure its racist - Paratroopa1

Look. He's annoying and he's supposed to be. I get it. But god dammit, Edgeworth working out the final inconsistencies of a case because (and while) Zinc takes a little tumble over the stair railing is a top-tier moment. - MrSmartGuy

A cop who gets killed in Edgeworth's office. He was partners with Jacques Portsman. He's not the highest rated AAI victim, but he's up there. Which isn't saying much. Yeah, AAI did bad with victims tbh.

I do like how Jacques Portsman keeps fake-mourning this guy - Paratroopa1

He seemed nice. His partner is a dickweed though. - MrSmartGuy
