From transience Posted 11/18/2007 1:44:51 AM 5 - Manfred von Karma - the first time I played 1-4, I hated von Karma. he was annoying, he objected at everything, he was just a huge nuisance. - replaying it, though? he's the greatest lawyer the game has ever seen. you could fuse Phoenix, Edgeworth and Franziska and you still wouldn't be able to touch von Karma. he is absolutely perfect, right down to the point where it seems like he's won the case even without any real evidence. - von Karma puts the fear of god into Phoenix moreso than any other prosecutor. he basically won a Guilty sentence, and useless Maya of all people was the only thing keeping Edgeworth alive. he's just a perfect lawyer. he doesn't even so much as sweat until you present the metal detector. - as a "last boss", von Karma is absolutely perfect. there's nothing more thrilling than taking this guy down in Phoenix Wright -- no, in gaming period. I don't particularly like the guy, but as far as an antagonist goes, no one's close in the PW series. Also, his satanic objection and the head-banging. Oh, the head banging. --- Bringin' back the WAAAAMbulance. | I voted for L-Block. IF YOU ARE NOT A CARTOON, STOVE GAS WILL KILL YOU. |

this list is awful #10: G U I L T Y "If I can't say anything, what can I do?" this is the closest Phoenix Wright has ever been to losing a case. Manfred von Karma's perfectly prepared witnesses were enough to hand Phoenix his first loss. HOLD IT! "Lotta Hart! Your testimony stinks! It's unclear whether you were actually looking at the lake! It's highly doubtful that you actually saw Mr. Edgeworth! Tell us the truth! This is a matter of life or death! Did you really clearly see Mr. Edgeworth that night!? Did you see him fire that pistol!?" "You will stand down!" "Answer me, Lotta!" "What's the big idea, treating me like some kind of criminal!? I saw him! I swear it! I saw Edgeworth..." "N-Nick! There must be something we can do!" "The cross-examination is over already!" "B-but... but didn't Lotta just say she saw him? She did, Nick! She just said that she saw Mr. Edgeworth! She didn't say that in her testimony, did she? ". . .! Y-you're right!" Maya Fey is useless. everyone knows this. Phoenix has saved her life not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times. but man, what a time to pay him back. --- xyzzy |

#9: "N-no! Stop the trial! Your honor!

#8: "And here I was, trying to be a good boy for you, dude."" "Hold on a sec. I'm gonna consult myself, OK?" http://youtube.com/watch?v=1vsrW8UR9xo it's so over the top. the random scars on his face, the out-of-nowhere.. whatever the hell he's shaking, the glass of wine or whatever. the huge personality change. the smarter thing would have been to deny it. it's a pretty huge moment though -- for the first time, it's out in the open. you're defending a guilty client. within about four seconds and a couple wiggles of the hand, Engarde goes from an annoying, clueless defendent to ohhhhh crap. it's a pretty awesome transformation, and from that second on, you can't put case 2-4 down. you want to strangle Matt Engarde, maybe more than any other character in the PWverse. --- xyzzy |

#7: "The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over." Godot: I was the one that failed to protect Mia... ...Me and no one else. I tried to avert my eyes from the truth... to escape from the harshness of reality. I just couldn't face Mia's death head on, so I ran! I hid behind a mask. I threw away my true name. I couldn't even deal with being a defense attorney anymore, so I quit. Phoenix: But, but! You saved Maya! Godot: Yeah. That was my plan... Up until just now, anyway. Maya: Wh-what do you mean? Godot: (drinks) Are you listening, Maya? If I had really wanted to save you... ...then there's one person that I should have gone and talked to right away. Maya: Wh-who do you mean? Are you talking about Nick? Godot: But I didn't do it... I tried to get the help of Iris and your mother... I closed my eyes to the most important man involved. Do you know why? The real reason? Maya: No... Why? Godot: I suppose... I wasn't really interested in saving you at all. Maya: Huh? Godot: I think I was just trying to salvage what's left of my own broken soul... I was trying to make up for the fact that I couldn't save Mia. Nothing more. That's why I let you walk right into a situation that I knew was dangerous. Forgive me... Phoenix: Y-You're wrong! You put your life on the line to save Maya! Godot: *shakes his head* Was it really for Maya's sake...? Even I'm not really sure. Judge: Wh-What do you mean by that...? Godot: That night, in the darkness of the garden, when I saw her silhouette...a part of me must have known it... That it wasn't really Dahlia Hawthorne that was standing there in front of me. Maya: ...! Godot: It could have been Misty Fey... Or even that little girl. But still, I picked up that blade as though I were in a dream! I'm not sure exactly what was going on in my mind at that point... Was I really motivated by a pure desire to protect Maya Fey? Or was it something else...? Was it hatred for a woman who had stolen everything from me 6 years earlier...? Could it have been simply a desire for revenge? And now, I don't know anything anymore! I did learn something today, however. I finally realized that I was the arrogant one. I was just... chasing an illusion, a fantasy. The stupid fantasy of defeating you in the courtroom... Phoenix: ... Godot: You were the one who taught me that. You never ran away from Mia's death. Instead, you picked up where she left off, as a true defender of the people. In that one moment... I understood everything! Phoenix: Mr. Godot... Godot: *shakes his head* If you don't mind... I hope you'll remember... My name is... Diego Armando. Maya: M-Mr. Armando! I believe in you! I know you were trying to save me! Godot: (blood seeps out from under his visor) Hmm... Thanks. Phoenix: Y-Your wound...! It's bleeding! Godot: ...Ha! Did you forget already? In my world, the color red doesn't exist. Phoenix: ...! Godot: These must be... my tears. Judge: Tears...? Godot: Ever since I woke up from my coma... ...I think I've been waiting for this very moment. Maya: M-Mr. Armando... Godot: You'd do well to remember this, Maya. The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over. I give Godot a lot of crap, but his final scene is a pretty cool way to go out. the storyline kinda sucks and several characters are out of character here, but the emotional impact is definitely up there, about as high as any scene in PW. --- xyzzy |
