- 3-4 is a top 5 case, by the way, screw length and pointless investigation trigger-pointing
whoa great opinion

also the 30-26 zone is another great opinion

the entire ending of 2-2 was better than i remember it the second time around

also it's way better than 3-2 and don't let any of those LOL ZVARRI nutters tell you any different

2-2 was awesome.

Just that...3-2 is just a bit better. >_> And 3-4 would totally be a lot more awesome if it WASN'T SO GOD DAMN EASY.

25. Lana Skye

- she won't tell you a thing and it's annoying
- it's nice to have a strong defendant though, not somebody that's like HELP MEEEEEEEE (hi there ron)
- also, the reason she's such a nuisance is because it would totally ruin the plot twists
- she's much cooler when she's trying to get you to stop than she is at the end though, happy/nice Lana sucks

24. Larry Butz

- uh oh too low for most people
- Larry's cool. I loved him coming to the rescue in 1-4 and thought he was awesome there. but when PW3 came around, I saw him as being more antagonistic and I didn't enjoy his attitude or his cross-examinations. I know some people find him totally awesome because of how stupidly entertaining he is, but I think he should have been retired after PW1, or at least not as a major witness like he always seems to be
- lol my opinions

23. Furio Tigre

- not particularly cool, but man, that cross-examination at the end of 3-3 is *fun*
- it pretty much saves what's essentially a filler case with a lot of weak points
- what's up with youse hair and skin colour mans and whose stupid enoughs to fall for that badge

22. Winston Payne

- I never really liked him, but in 3-1 he was quite an impressive lawyer (he pretty much destroys Mia left and right)
- unfortunately he hasn't lost that ABBJJEKKSHHIOONNNN
- plus he's got the badass hair, damn you Mia for ruining a good thing

21. Franziska von Karma

- I've got such mixed feelings on this chick
- in 2-2 and 2-3, she's pretty much bad. she's a good opponent to fight, but her character is basically I AM PERFECT, FOOLISH FOOLISH FOOLISH FOOLS FOOLS FOOLISH FOOAFJDKJFHJHD and LOL I WHIP U. very, very boring and it gets *really* old.
- she's cool in 2-4 though, mostly because she isn't your opponent. she's a cool peripheral character, just not a fun antagonist. quality lawyer though.
- her 3-5 role is a bit forced but I don't hate her for it, she's just a stupid tagalong because that's not her style at all

aw yeah gonna finish this tonight

20. Will Powers

- just a nice guy, despite his frightening Tarzan looks
- I actually wanted to get this guy off the hook as opposed to just wanting to play the story out, I thought he was a great, likable defendant

19. Pearl Fey

- I love her animations. she's just.. cute, and I thought she was pretty good as a Maya replacement in PW2
- didn't like her in PW3 though, she was annoying and pretty much absent for most of the game. she acted like an immature child in case 2 (and not in a particularly endearing way) and her case 5 role wasn't all that great (though necessary). I like her when she's jumping around being blissfully ignorant and cute, not when she's anything more

18. Acro

haha gonna have to defend this one

- this guy's just.. cool. he's a terrible murderer, the murder in 2-3 is just awful.. but I like this guy. I've never seen a guy stand there and not get rattled like Acro, and he's just very, very likable. you don't want to nail him in 2-3 because he just seems like he's a good person.
- but despite the fact that his character doesn't fit the crime, I really enjoy him. the one big bright spot of 2-3 was Acro, I think. no matter what you said, you weren't going to rattle him. Godot would start sweating before Acro did.

17. Judge's Brother

- haha I can't help it
- best part of 3-2: bursting into the courtroom to find this dude calling you a hoser
- what the hell, who translated that one, it's genius
- really he's not any different than the judge besides the aboots and the ehs, but that's cool by me because the judge is radical

16. Shelly de Killer

- what's up with this dude's face
- augh cross examining a phone, why does it explode whenever you point out a contradiction
- this guy's cold as ice and absolutely professional, and it's kinda cool to be able to talk to a guy who completely admits he murdered the guy and can get away with it
- I kinda hope we see him again - guess it's too late, though

The end of 1-3, where Edgeworth and Phoenix work together.

But I'm just a fanboy of someone who is just a guy wearing a mask, so... =/

15. Iris

- argh so cute and innocent and because of that you want to defend her more than pretty much anyone else
- her "plot twist" at the end of 3-5 really, really sucks though

14. Jake Marshall

- best thing about this guy: his "you got me lol" pose which just kills me
- one of the few guys that lies like hell on the witness stand but comes out of it being very likable and isn't hostile towards you afterwards
- has good reasons for his actions and is overall just a really solid character, I can't imagine disliking Jake Marshall

13. Viola Cadaverini

- 3-3 kinda sucks: an utterly useless first trial date, some pretty crappy triggerpointing, that awful Tres Bien music.
- the thing that keeps the case going? Viola. her creepy style and laugh makes Tender Lender an awesome place to investigate. it's like "uhh.. should I examine this or will I end up dead?"
- I want to put her higher but feel bad putting a fairly one-dimensional side character from one case over more significant characters that I also like

Agree with all three.

Viola is awesome. I was really disappointed that she wasn't more involved, even in just that one case. It would have been neat to clear Maggey of the crime, and then have to defend Viola as well. Though that would kindof be like 3-2's twist, I guess. =/

12. Matt Engarde

- argh this guy's pretty lame, why am I defending this tool, what's up with the arm phone, stop calling me "dude" you little pissant, good god WHOA HEEL TURN
- top 5 moment right there
- Engarde is pretty awesome from there on, the only problem I have is that you don't get to cross-examine him. here's this disgusting, pathetic man that you want to just strangle and you never get a chance to do so. the only thing you get is AS ALWAYS, THE DEFENSE PLEADS NOT GUILTY!, which is awesome, but it's only one moment as opposed to being able to wrap the evidence around his neck.

11. Adrian Andrews

- no quirks, no gimmicks. well, I guess the glasses is kind of a gimmick, but that's awesome so shut up
- Adrian's just a fascinating character, probably the deepest witness there is thanks to the whole love triangle thing. the way she looks like she's about to break when you're going after her when you know she's innocent is just amazing. 2-4 really knows how to turn you emotionally, and Adrian's the main reason.
- STOP IT FUNK
- I thought her 3-2 role sucked. it just.. wasn't her, and she should have been in jail anyway. that's where she belongs after what she did, awesome character or not. she should never have been brought back given that you could never re-create that relationship with Engarde/Corrida.
