(+) Yeah! (+)

SmartGuy nailed it. It's the sound effects for Meekins.

Again I am the lowest ranking on a terribad somehow

Only because you ranked more characters than me! Dead last for me.

And there's my other remaining bottom ten character in that batch, too, so I'm in the clear there.

SmartGuy nailed it. It's the sound effects for Meekins.

I mean, that's bad but so is everything about him. I partly blame 1-5's bad comedic writing (seriously, so many bad jokes in that case), but like, nothing he says is funny, so it just makes him extra cringey. He also has the same problem Cammy Meele does. His design doesn't look like it belongs in an Ace Attorney game, and it's kinda unpleasant for me.

So yeah, it's everything.

I'm never in favor of doxxing but yeah, whoever voted Meekins 12th needs to explain themselves

I am not the #12 for Meekins, I am not that much of a sicko. I can't remember where I ranked him, low 100s or something

ok, caught up

i love wesley stickler, would have been a top 50%er for sure for me.

i also kind of like joan garrideb. she's not a very good person and not very charismatic, but G1-4 makes the not-good and not-charismatic weirdly good and charismatic.

meekins and brushel should be the last two

That is not my write-up for Meekins. I made one, just not that one!

Oh sorry that writeup was colliding's.

Here's SmartGuys:

I kinda like Mike. But I would've liked Mike better if he was limited to just 1-5. Why is THIS the character they decided to bring back, not once, but twice???

Who ranked Mike Meekins #12...

#290th: Prosecutor Flynch (Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/4d66713d.jpg
Highest Rank: 137th
Lowest Rank: 295th
Highest Percentile: 60.12%
Lowest Percentile: 2%
Average Percentile: 25.48%
Number of lists: 9

Winston Payne: British Edition. And the lowest ranking of the Payne-likes. Which isn't too surprising. He comes from a less popular game. Flynch is a decent name at least.

Completely rizzless prosecutor, so far off from having Paynes moxie that its pathetic - Paratroopa1

I've never been a big fan of the tutorial prosecutors. Flynch sure is one all right. - MrSmartGuy

#289th: Beppo (Great Ace Attorney Adventures)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/faa1c24e.jpg
Highest Rank: 82nd
Lowest Rank: 290th
Highest Percentile: 66.97%
Lowest Percentile: 2.27%
Average Percentile: 27.66%
Number of lists: 18

Beppo is a witness for not one, but two trials in GAA. First time as a stage coach driver, and second time as a member of a trio. Except there he's called Sandwich. He loses his job due to charging extra for fares. Sandwich was originally going to be another character, but the art director suggested this could be his new job. And hey it kind of works. For a recurring character he's not annoying at least..

Beppo is not a great character at first, though he's not bad, either. It's his second role that makes me smile. - MrSmartGuy

I do not find Beppo funny - Paratroopa1

#288th: Cindy Stone (Ace Attorney)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/4a599338.png
Highest Rank: 29th
Lowest Rank: 296th
Highest Percentile: 83.53%
Lowest Percentile: 8.27%
Average Percentile: 27.35%
Number of lists: 18

This reminds me we didn't rank Kiyance. Thankfully. Cindy is Larry's girlfriend who's a model and has apparent sugar daddies on the side. But she seemed to have some affection for Larry, as she kept the statue of the Thinker around (much to her and his detriment). Sometimes I wonder if she and Larry were actually dating, or if they were just friends and Larry didn't understand. I also wonder if she might have just been an escort. We never really meet her, but as the FIRST VICTIM (though to be fair, my first was Doug Swallow) she's pretty hard to forget.

Cinder Block - MrSmartGuy

Has the honor of being literally the first character to appear in the entire Ace Attorney series, which must make dying kind of worth it, I would imagine - Paratroopa1

Cindy Stone is the very first victim of the very first case, so she benefits from being an icon. As expected, theres not much of a character here: shes dating Larry Butz and you can tell the judge her name is Cinder Block for some fun laughs. Did she actually like Larry? Probably not. - Colliding

#287th: Bat (Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/95170f01.png
Highest Rank: 75th
Lowest Rank: 293rd
Highest Percentile: 74.17%
Lowest Percentile: 10.07%
Average Percentile: 27.30%
Number of lists: 19

Bat is a fucking idiot. And honestly? When I first played the game, I kind of felt bad for him getting bit by a Lion. But at the time I thought for some reason he was like 16. He's 22 and hitting on a 16 year old. Only slightly less creepy than the others who hit on Regina. Might have made for a cute but sad story if Regina were 18. Or even if Bat were 19. That'd at least be a little understandable. A 6 year age gap isn't crazy, but when one's under 18 it is.

Bat you fucking idiot - Paratroopa1

That's what you get for getting caught in Regina's web. - MrSmartGuy

#286th: Byrne Faraday (Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/b714c59f.png
Highest Rank: 78th
Lowest Rank: 298th
Highest Percentile: 72.30%
Lowest Percentile: 10.83%
Average Percentile: 27.09%
Number of lists: 16

Kay Faraday's father, and a prosecutor. Also a member of the Yatagarasu. He's pretty cool for having invented Little Thief. But we don't get to know much else about him. And honestly? It's easy to forget he invented Little Thief. Without him, I think Miles Edgeworth would have a much harder time. He also seemed to be a decent father. We learn a bit of his personality through Kay, but not quite enough to get the full picture. Which you kind of expect from a kid.

Seemed like a fine dad. His rules are nice. - MrSmartGuy

Seems like he would have been cool if he wasnt dead, I guess we do get like two lines from him - Paratroopa1

It's too bad we see virtually nothing of the original Yatagarasu together

It'd be a cool flashback type case or you could've at least had some sort of conversation between the three of them at some point

Coincidence that Excelsius is defeated by burning and Kay's dad is named Byrne?

I ranked meekins 12.

I think hes hilarious

Do you enjoy having your ears blasted out every 5 seconds?

Each time that that happens do you break out into uncontrollable laughter?

I just think hes funny man idk

I ranked him above the judge and pearl and mia and i should probably stop here before I get murdered...

Oh boy, it just goes to show how subjective comedy is.

i attribute the killer yatagarasu theme to byrne

She tried her best to ruin the first 2 games.

#344th: Ami Fey (Ace Attorney: Justice For All)

Highest Rank: 195th
Lowest Rank: 301st
Highest Percentile: 30.22%
Lowest Percentile: 8%
Average Percentile: 15.97%
Number of lists: 3

Founder of the Fey Clan and the Kurain Channeling Technique. Without her, Phoenix Wright probably loses a lot more trials. She never actually appears in the games, but she is in the court record. She's the oldest character in the court record by far. Related to the Fey Family of present day, distantly related to the royal family. imagine if she were more like Morgan lol. We'd never know!

I was wondering when she'd appear.

Ranking below Ami Fey is pretty dire, I'd say.

Also I ranked Bat quite highly solely due to his design. >_> <_<

#284th: The Bailiff (Ace Attorney)

I'm assuming one of these two gentlemen are the Bailiff. I don't think we ever see him. Interestingly, he's not the one there for Shadi Smith's trial. It's Mike Meekins instead. How different does the series go if the Bailiff was there? Who knows? Honestly, we don't learn much about the guy.

#283rd: Azea (Ace Attorney Investigations: Prosecutor's Gambit)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c1a96acc.jpg

Azea is an elephant from the Berry Big Circus. She likes eating apples. Elephants are awesome, if we're being honest. Kind of surprised anyone ranked her, though. Or maybe surprised more people didn't. She's at least more relevant than some of the animals.

#282nd: Juror 4 (Scientist) (Great Ace Atorney: Resolve)

The Scientist from the Albert Harebrayne Case. He's a juror who's very much into science. He also knows the reputation of Enoch Drebber. His expertise comes in a bit handy. Though his career is basically his only real personality trait. But he still stands out more than some of the other jurors.

#281st: Juror 5 (Laborer) (Great Ace Attorney Adventures)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6386a1a3.png
Highest Rank: 114th

Average Percentile: 26.64%

A Juror who's personality trait isn't entirely their job?! Say it isn't so. The Laborer has a wife, and she might or might not be abusing him at home. He also is constantly in a rush to get money. Not an outstanding juror (and way too quick to rush to judgment) but not a terrible juror either. And one of the few who don't appear as witnesses elsewhere who has a bit more personality than their job.

did this person also rank the Khura'in bailiff

That one actually has a sprite

Leonhart4 posted...

No. They specified the original trilogy bailiff

"Baliff guarding the door in the court lounge of the original trilogy"

I forgot to rank ami fey because she wasn't on the original list lol

Also I am the one person who remembered Azea

I mostly just did what was on the list. Maybe I should have been more thorough.

Candice Arme is another victim who we don't know much about, aside from her profession. She can disarm bombs. Get it! Haha. She seems okay, but I don't think it would have hurt to learn a little more about her. Like even a past case would have been nice.

She can disarm, thats cool - Paratroopa1

The guy who doesn't really appear in the game. Too bad. He intimidated Furio Tigre, which is itself pretty impressive. But aside from that, we don't really know much about him. Sir not appearing in this game. Would have been cool to have him in the actual game as a witness or something.

I thought mob bosses were supposed to be cool. - MrSmartGuy

Looks like he could still run for senate - Paratroopa1

Antique Salesman, obsessed with antiques. And nothing else really stands out about him to me. He's a witness in the first trial of GAA. Granted it's been a while since I played the first case (tutorial cases aren't supposed to be that long!).

Oh my god. Are you seriously going to have to organize all these fucking writeups and copy and paste them into the topic? Even for dudes like this? Im really, really sorry, I dont know what Ive done to you - Paratroopa1

Nikolina Pavlova's cat. At least it's a cute cat. Without this cat, GAA1+2 probably go very different. I mean Kazuma probably winds up as the defense attorney, and from there pretty much everything changes.

#276th: Pop Windibank (Great Ace Attorney Adventures)

This guy isn't very popular, but I happen to like him quite a bit. His bit with pulling the gun on himself is a bit dark I'll admit, but he also protects Gina even after she breaks into his store after hours. Keep in mind that she pulled his own gun on him. And he still protects her. Also he shoots Ashley Graydon, which is pretty badass. Granted it gets him killed, but they were breaking into his store. It's thanks to him that Graydon can be convicted.

I had to rank a bunch of random victims and no-names just so I could put this guy as far down on the list as possible. Him racing for his gun to threaten to shoot himself is the most grim and harrowing thing Ive ever seen anyone try to frame as funny. Completely mortifying attempt at a joke, I hate this character - Paratroopa1

Ace Attorney devs: "Suicide's notoriously funny, right? That would be a really funny gimmick for a character to have, right?" *raucous applause fills the room* - MrSmartGuy

I assumed he had been ranked already, whoops!

That's the last one from my bottom ten now.

It's not GOOD, but my write-up for Pop is probably my favorite one that I did.

Windibank being a rare victim who you meet, and gets slightly fleshed out before dying. Still placed before 2-2's victim, somehow. Grey is a dick.

Pop Windibank is the 3rd of my top 10 to drop. I seriously can't believe after all we've seen in the Ace Attorney regarding death, murder and tragedy, they decide to go THAT direction with a character.

Im hoping you mean bottom ten

Starting to get concerned my bottom 1 will escape the bottom 100

Not a very good security guard. Also he likes chocolate. Apparently that's a personality trait these days. Liking chocolate. Lots of people like chocolate. Most people like chocolate.

He's silly and inoffensive. *shrugs* - MrSmartGuy

The sheer lameness of this character does kind of amuse me, like hes just absolutely like a shitty fan character that they couldnt bother to give any personality besides he eats a chocolate bar and does a cool pose - Paratroopa1

Valerie was a cop, and if we're being honest, not a good person. As I get older, I like her less and less. She went along with the fake kidnapping plot, helped Dahlia out a lot, and let an innocent man face the death penalty. And we never really learn her motivations, why she helped Dahlia, or why she got involved at all. For all we know, she helped mold Dahlia into the monster she is now, or was possibly just too weak to do anything to stop her. Or somewhere in between.

Imagine sharing a last name with Dahlia. Rough - Paratroopa1
She really sucks actually? Her motives are all over the place. - MrSmartGuy

Bruce Goodman was a cop and a good man. He wanted the SL-9 case solved appropriately. I still think it'd have been more interesting if he gave Jake Marshall his ID card instead. As far as victims in the first game go, he can't be the best because well... the second case. He ranks below another victim in the game too, though.

Not all cops are bad. Bruce was a good man. - MrSmartGuy
He sure did seem like a good man - Paratroopa1

A juror in the Magnus McGilded Case. Also the head of the stagecoach guild. He seems like a decent enough guy. He keeps his fares fair. He also takes a rather important photograph later. He fired Beppo for overcharging passengers.

I think the whole bit with him is that hes Scottish or something? I dont remember - Paratroopa1
