Games included: AA1-6, AAI1&2, and PLvPW

Now, time to explain the tiers:

Goated: The absolute best the series has to offer in terms of characters. They're loveable, have amazing character moments, and have amazing arcs.

Amazing: These characters either have a lot of moments to shine throughout their games, or are just all around goofy to the point where you can't help but love them.

Admirable: They don't have much to offer, but what they offer is pretty great and worth remembering.

Good, but forgettable: They're good in terms of what they offer, but don't have any noteworthy traits or moments worth remembering.

Lackluster: They're not the most loveable, but certainly aren't hateable. They're more like an acquired taste.

Awful: Annoying, hateable characters, but not completely irredeemable.

Dogshit: The bottom of the barrel, downright horrendous characters.

If I could, I'd make a f-- tier for gaspen Payne and Inga Karkhuul

I started playing this series at the start of January and it has easily become my favourite video game series of all time. I love (almost) everything about this series. The story, the music and especially the characters.

That being said, I'm gonna be taking a break from this series before I get to TGAA for multiple reasons. (Mostly college related stuff.)

Hopefully my opinions don't start a war or something but who knows.

(I spoilered it since I'm pretty sure there might be one or two spoilers in the character tier list. Even if there isn't, I'd just like to be extra careful since I'm a nice guy.)

Or at least contact Puff to see if he's chill with that. Just to clarify I mean Felix White and the others that appear in the AA knockoff section, not all of them.

We will def get AA7 in the next Nintendo direct. I know we will. I hope we will, no I know we will. Ace attorney 7 is real. The game is real. The lawyers are real. We won’t end up like the Half life fandom right? We will get AA7 right? It must be real.

Sorry for the slight delay in this vote being set up, anybody especially concerned with this conversation, but here it is.

There have been some recent conversations on this sub regarding the now decade-old rule put in place to majorly limit shitposting and/or to redirect it to /r/AceAttorneyCirclejerk (and later /r/AceAttorneyMemes) instead.

In the time since that rule was originally instated by what's basically a previous generation of this sub's mods, we've had a vote on whether the rule should continue to stand, and now seems like a perfectly reasonable time for another one.

The Strawpoll below will be active for a little over two days from now, and it's very simple - should the rule stand as-is, or should there be a change to it?

Avoids any vote-splitting across people who want something to change but might not necessarily immediately agree on what kind of change that should be. I anticipate that some people will dislike the idea of this poll being active for only two days or so, but the fact is that with this sub's level of activity day-to-day, almost nobody at all is still going to be casting any votes at all more than two full days ahead of now.

Please note that, if the "change" option wins this vote, it still remains to be seen exactly how we figure out what seems to be the ideal change for the rule, but whatever we decide on will be directly based on recent and ongoing community feedback.

Here's the link for the vote.

Hello everyone. Now for those who didn't see the original post by u/vampLover420, they have some personal issues going on so they couldn't keep up with this ranking series. We wish them well from this community. But I decided to pick up where they left off and seeing people upvote my comment i assume means people here are ok with me taking over. So I'll do my best , but the more i racked my brain around certain cases like the ones in the Layton crossover and some cases in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, the more i regret taking this position, but we will handle it when we cross that bridge. So hopefully this goes well. Now to keep up with consistency: Some episodes will have more than one case being covered but I will ask the community to rank all the culprits within said episode even if the cases themselves are seperate. So let's do this.

Today's culprits is Carmelo Gusto who killed Artie Frost long before the series began and started a chain reaction in the series. The second is Judy Bound, who although didn't kill anyone still counts as a culprit as the poisoning was also a seperate topic being examined within this episode. So not all culprits are evil people who killed someone. So how smart was each of their plans at achieving their goals.

Since there was a discussion on least-cared-about characters in Ace Attorney, what are some characters noone really cares for / don't have a major role but you kind of like?

For me it's the pawnshop guy Pop Windibank from Great Ace Attorney. Idk, he left an impression with using his gun not to actually protect his stuff like a reasonable person but instead threating to off himself. I also liked how Iris reacted to his death, making him less of a generic victim and more like a person other characters interact with on a regular basis. It made me think of other scenarios and shenanigans going on in that pawnshop.

My sister gave me some Apollo notepad one of her old artist friend made and i thought it was worth sharing they are so good!!!! (The artist is now an attorney lol very old stuff)

Just finished the first game of Chronicles, think I’m missing something fundamental about the actual night of the crime. This was also a couple days ago lol, maybe I misread or misremembered something

How did the victim end up in the locked store room if he was shot outside? And what was Gina doing in all of this, how did she get the gun and did she just pass out? Ashley said he shot and scrammed. Did the victim just run back into the room and Gina locked it?

As in, they're nobody's favourite, but nobody's least favourite either.

My vote goes to Misty Fey. I hardly ever see fanart of her, most discussion of her is about how her actions in Bridge to the Turnabout don't make sense (but not as much as Godot's), and the only fanfics I can think of where she has any characterisation are ones where she's Miles Edgeworth's mother.

Wonder if i should make her lil companion have a special expression or just a different color, also thought of making Athena seem a bit more somber or brainwashed, but i think this expression looks good. (Also BS Inc is not really evil like Shadaloo or something.)

Regardless, this should be done soon.

Also made the visor on model, unlike the maya and CIrno pics this time.

It's another start of the fall quarter, and as we all know, August blazes bring September cases in a new Case Maker Contest!

Your task is to write up an Ace Attorney case where a noun I supply below is an important part of the case. After the deadline passes (see below), submissions will no longer be taken and the community will vote for submissions in a Google Form.

Prizes are as follows:

**1st Place: buy you a pizza** *($15)*

**2nd Place: buy you a burger** *($10)*

**3rd Place: buy you a coffee** *($5)*

**In the comments, I will make a post that will give a template of what your submission should look like.** If possible, please fill in all the sections in the template, including N/A if needed. **Feel free to reply to that comment in regards to questions or general discussion. The rest of the thread is for submissions only.**

Regarding the description area, feel free to be descriptive as possible! If you fear the post is too long, you may post the description over several comments or through another source such as Google Docs. There is no word limit, so please do not worry about such.

And remember, **don’t hold back your creativity!** Your case can be a standard AA case, it can be a reminiscence case, or an Investigations-style case! (Given the new release, I'd encourage trying an Investigations-style case, though obviously this isn't a requirement.)

However, there are some limitations. First, **dark topics are allowed**, but discuss them with me beforehand. That goes for abuse, gore... basically, anything that might require a content warning besides your standard Ace Attorney crime. **Do not be dark just for the sake of being dark or edgy** -- if you are going to include such a topic, have a reason for including it. **If you do include such a topic, please include a content warning at the start of your case.**

Also, **joke posts are allowed, but only ones that are well-thought out, clever, and/or high-quality.** Anything like “ThE PHoEnIX wiRIGHT TUnraBOOT: sOMEONE DIED aND phEENIX HAd TO dFEENdED THem!!!1!" is not allowed.

Lastly, **use of generative AI is prohibited.** Any case that uses any form of generative AI will be disqualified.

If you're concerned about crossing one of these lines, message me and I'll work with you to make sure your case abides by the guidelines. Other than those limitations; don’t hold your creativity back!

The noun for this contest is: **Plunge**

The deadline for this contest is **Monday, October 5** at **11:59 PM EDT.** This gives entrants five weeks to plan and write their cases.

Good luck, everyone!
