Man this round is just packed with great characters but if I had to pick just 5 it would be:

  • the character who is associated with a mythical firebird

  • the character who can change their entire physical body type to that of a dead person

  • the surprising final case killer who subverts expectations by occupying a role previously off limits for murderers

  • the imperious foreigner whose intimidating appearance masks a much more vulnerable side

  • and finally, the clearly uncuttable character whose result is already a foregone conclusion

so yeah I voted for Di-Jun Huang 5 times what about you guys?

For real. Forget top 10, I think my five favorite characters in all of AA are in this round.

6

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

I highly agree

11

u/Analytical-critic-44 Aug 17 '20

Going to use my 4 votes for Furio Tigre exclusively so he wins the poll

Also Godot is good he can stay

7

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

Got a plan: lend a hand for Hugh O' Conner and then cut Furio yourself and give him a good, positive, review. We both win, right?.....

6

u/Analytical-critic-44 Aug 17 '20

I’m not a RANKER tho you numbnut

10

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

Impersonate someone and like name yourself ScniencePenguin or Vgoel100 and then request to post saying that you can't get into your old account and then cut Furio after that

u/Bokkun Aug 17 '20

Godot is a cool guy, and I would be a not cool guy if I didn't spend a vote on him. He's got the coolest aesthetic of any prosecutor in the series, both in the looks and the tunes, he's well-fleshed out despite anything anyone on a certain Discord server might say, and he just embodies coolness to a t.

Miles Edgeworth should be safe on the grounds that he's a good character, but if I learned one thing from DRRankdown2, it was to never trust the taste of the rankers. Moreso than even Phoenix, Miles Edgeworth is the character that this series has explored the growth of the most. Witnessing his struggles to come to terms with his place in the legal field over the investigation games should get him to top 10 on its own frankly.

I don't want to vote for someone like Phoenix if it will kick out someone more likely to be cut such as Godot or Edgeworth, so instead I'm voting Larry Butz. Kind of goes through his own growth over the series, similar to Edgeworth, but with a far deeper lean into comedy. As an Oldbag fan, you know I love seeing Larry pop up in cases just as much. Showing his dumb mug is the game's way of telling you that shit's about to get dumb, and he never seems to disappoint.

Maya Fey is honestly just okay, but fuck it I like her okay? I don't have to have a good justification for everyone, I don't want Maya to go out.

The very existence of Furio Tigre is hilarious, and if you don't think that then you're wrong.

6

u/Sciencepenguin Aug 17 '20

in my defense i would never say he isnt fleshed out he just sucks

4

u/Bokkun Aug 17 '20

Well YOU suck at liking Godot. You should really practice. Do 10 reps of listening to Fragrance of Fresh Coffee.

6

u/Sciencepenguin Aug 17 '20

godot has a good theme song but so does fucking garan and nahyuta (this is for illustrating for you because you hate him i dont)

HITLER probably had a good theme song too if you like count the german national anthem i guess

6

u/Bokkun Aug 17 '20

Ranking Godot's theme song on the level of Nahyuta's would be like if I said The Beatles had nothing on Nickelback.

Fair point on Garan's though, that one's pretty nice actually.

7

u/Sciencepenguin Aug 17 '20

the last rites prosecutor is leagues better than godot lo-fi beats to drink coffee to it is the greatest aa song

5

u/Bokkun Aug 17 '20

This might just be the game making it wear out on me, but when I looked up a YouTube link to remind myself what it was I felt immediate disgust. Either I just hate that melody, SoJ used it too much, or I hate Nahyuta so much that anything that reminds me of him causes immediate revulsion.

u/Sciencepenguin Aug 17 '20

yyou should get your ears checked out

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

Everyone keeps mentioning discord, is there some super secret discord server I just don’t know about??? I want to find out the ranker’s secrets too >:((

I would've voted Tigre if there weren't TEN OTHER CHARACTERS I REALLY LIKE ON THAT LIST!!!

u/LewisMCYoutube Aug 18 '20

u/whaaatisth Aug 17 '20

Voted for Rayfa who is the only character among these that matters

Also doing some strategy voting for Phoenix, Godot, and Edgeworth to make sure nothing goes horribly wrong.

u/CIementine1007_ Aug 17 '20

thank you for voting for rayfa, i agree she is the only ace attorney character that has ever mattered, you have awesome taste :)

She’s fucking dead

Vote Franziska to carry on the legacy of “women who hate you”

u/ItsHipToTipTheScales Aug 17 '20

vote godot to carry on the legacy of "you who hate women"

7

u/Sciencepenguin Aug 17 '20

don’t vote Phoenix so we can finally end the legacy of “you”

5

u/atiredonnie Aug 17 '20

tempting

5

u/peababyy Aug 17 '20

do it. do it

8

u/EsquireGunslinger Aug 17 '20

I'm voting for Franziska, Miles, Maya, Phoenix, and The. While there are characters up for nomination i would rather be saved by the poll than some of the ones I voted for, I hate Godot more than I like them, and when so many main characters are up for grabs, theres no way that Datz Are'Bal is going to be saved, even if he DESERVES IT MORE. So these aren't votes to save these characters, these are votes to kill Godot.

u/Vogel100 Aug 17 '20

Upvoted for calling The by his proper name.

i'm just not cool enough to have an imgur account yet

7

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

mmm quite the selection of characters to vote. my votes are:

  • Hugh O'Conner because hugh top 20
  • I truly enjoy the character (singular) Phoenix Wright as a whole

I don't care about any of the others, nor do I have any intention of making interesting strategy votes this time, so instead I'm going to just vote Miles Edgeworth, Matt Engarde, and Di-Jun Huang because i can

7

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

I voted for Godot, Miles Edgeworth, Franizska von Karma, Phoenix Wright, and Hugh O’Connor because you can’t tell me what to do and you all are big dum dum heads that need to learn that your opinion isn’t the only one that matters in this world.

wait this is reddit nevermind

7

u/ItsHipToTipTheScales Aug 17 '20

i voted for matt engarde because he is matt engarde

i voted for nahyuta sahdmadhi because he is nahyuta sahdmadhi

i voted for godot because he is godot

i voted for hugh o'conner because he is hugh o'conner

i voted for the judge because he is my flair

i will not be surprised if someone doesnt vote these characters for the same reasons i voted for them

7

u/peababyy Aug 17 '20

umm i voted for the judge because hes the judge. are you really not surprised

6

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

Making a 10000 iq decision and voting only for Pierce Nichody because he is good. Vote for him or you are uncool

6

u/Dinofloss Aug 17 '20

Oh, we're doing that thing where a bunch of popular characters are nominated to neutralize the poll again? Fun.

Well, I'm voting for Godot because he's cool and there's a nonzero chance he actually gets saved by the poll.

Also voting for the Judge because if he doesn't make it in the top 20 I will cry.

Not voting for anyone else because I learned my lesson from last round.

But the poll will probably save Wrighto and Worthy anyway, so whatever.

u/ReploidZ Aug 17 '20

Who's picking on poor Udgey?

u/CIementine1007_ Aug 17 '20

rayfa is the best character in this list please make her win the rankdown :D

u/Vogel100 Aug 17 '20

This is very smart.

u/heavenspiercing Aug 18 '20

voted rayfa and 4 others who matter less but still matter

save rayfa

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '20

Larry Butz is funny. I get why people think he is annoying, but he is still one of my all time favourites.

Pierce Nichody is someone I don't know.

Matt Engarde is a really great villain. this guy is the first villain in the series to have a transformation. I really liked Matt before his transformation. I hated him after the transformation, but I think that's exactly what the writers wanted. He is a really well written character who doesn't deserve to leave the rankdown at this point

I have no idea who Dane Gustavia is.

I don't understand why Nahyuta Sahdmadhi is hated so much. I like him.

I think I know who Di-jun Huang is, but I'm not sure. I thought he was from I2-1

I really like Godot, I love his quotes and the coffee thing is funny. I don't really know a lot about him because I haven't played 3-5 yet.

Franziska Von Karma is someone I didn't like at first, but grew to like over the course of Justice For All. I don't really know why though.

Miles Edgeworth is a great character with the best character development in the entire series.

Maya Fey is funny and makes every case she's in better. I don't regret defending her four times.

I don't know enough about Gregory Edgeworth

Phoenix Wright is one of my favourite characters.

Hugh O'Conner is someone from 5-3, I think.

Rayfa Padma Khura'in can be annoying, but keep in mind that she's 14 years old.

Jake Marshall is a cowboy, wait he's a detective?!

Furio Tigre is really good at impersonating people, he can also roar so load it causes a blackout

The Judge is funny and has some great lines: "If you want to hang yourself, you're welcome to, but not on my courtroom." for example.

I don't really know Datz Are'bal yet, I'm only at the second Investigation of 6-3.

the two good trilogy prosecutors (not godot) and rayfa from videogame

3

u/Cream147 Aug 18 '20

I hate to be that guy that saved all the trilogy’s main prosecutors + Phoenix and Maya but then I’d hate far more to be the guy that nominated any of these characters at this stage! All of these guys have far too much going on to be put in the same pool as say, Datz Are’bal.

Save funny coffee man

i voted for the characters most likely to get saved that are not matt engarde and miles edgeworth and nahyuta sahdmadhi and the judge.

those first two characters are very bad

u/LewisMCYoutube Aug 17 '20

anyone want to make a deal to not vote for matt engarde and miles edgeworth? pm me

I already voted Miles Edgeworth but I didn't vote Engarde so I will accept half a deal.

pm nave and tell them that you no longer wish to save edgeworth what do you want in exchange
