WARNING! This post is mainly about one character.
I've been playing for the same amount of time as last week, because I've been busy and some new games have come out.
Before I get started, I'd just like to say that Nintendo's ploy to make Pokemon fans get up and walk has worked. I've had my Pokewalker on all day, and, after returning to the Wal-Mart clinic after a short walk around some of the store, I considered making another round so I could earn a level up for my Sentret as well as get some more shots at catching pokemon. Thank you Nintendo. You guys are awesome (seriously). /rant
I haven't touched an Ace Attorney game at all this past week (well, I touched the case and the game cartridge for Investigations as I switched it out for Pokemon), but I have some semi-decent reasons for it. First of all, I go to school. School gives homework, and although this work saddens me I must do it for the sake of my grades. Second of all, this week marked the release of a game I've been wanting for a year, as well as the release of the newest Pokemon remakes. So, my attention was diverted from good ol' Nick. Still, I can continue the discussion on Ace Attorney as promised.
However, I'm not entirely sure what I intended to start this post with, so I'm going to talk about Edgeworth.
This is Edgeworth. Edgeworth does not wear pink (it's more of a maroon/magenta). Edgeworth is a 24-year old, hard as stone, cold as snow, absolutely perfect prosecutor. Edgeworth will do whatever it takes to get a guilty verdict (as he himself explains).
Edgeworth is my favorite Ace Attorney character.
During your second case of the game, Nick is told that the case's prosecutor is Miles Edgeworth, so he should probably just go ahead and give up because Mr. Edgeworth has never lost a case, pal. Nick doesn't give up of course, and heads into court the next day to face the perfect prosecutor. I see Edgeworth and I want to let out a very fangirly "EDGEWORTH!" squeal. I've done it before, and I'll probably do it again. If you're not already a rabid fangirl, which most of you probably aren't, you might want to grab Edgeworth by the shoulders and shake him in frustration.
Caution: I'm about to mention the evidence used to slam a contradiction in case 2. I'm not telling you what the contradiction is or where it's at, but you've been warned.
You've discovered that the witness's testimony contradicts the victim's autopsy report, you're feeling confident about said discovery, and you call out your objection with pride. It's all going great, at least, it is until Edgeworth calmly informs you that your autopsy report is outdated, because he ordered a new autopsy to be performed. The new report supports the witness's testimony, and your contradiction no longer stands. Edgeworth does this a lot when you first face him, and while it's annoying, it makes even the smallest victory over him that much better. He stuttered once in court, and I felt victorious. Imagine how great it feels to watch his cool composure break as you slowly take victory. It gets the blood pumping! Take that Edgeworth (you're still awesome by the way)!
While Edgeworth is frustrating, Manfred von Karma is downright terrible. Guess what? He's Edgey's mentor (that nickname for Edgeworth is in the game, and is thus available for use, okay?)! Everything you say is interrupted by Von Karma's deep throated, frightening objection, and the man is so commanding and cruel that he basically controls the judge, and therefore controls the court. Von Karma's 40 year record holds not a single loss, and it probably has something to do with the fact that compassion is practically foreign to him.
Remember the prosecutor with the whip that I mentioned last post? That's his daughter.
Although the ending point is terrible, I'm stopping here. If you've read through all the entire post then congratulations! You've survived a lengthy character rant! If you've skimmed through/skipped parts of the post then... congratulations as well! If you skipped everything except this last part then that's okay. See you next week, and happy gaming!
