Ace Attorney Chronicles - Tumblr Posts
When you realize your great great grandfather (and his much scarier partner) has seen all your insane antics throughout the years.
A continuation of this.
I finished the first ace attorney chronicles game, and I am sure herlock sholmes is not real, KNOWS he's not real, and is out to get me.
Adding some stuff from chronicles:
One murderer has an entire swan as part of their hat, their big freakout sees the swan springing to life and flapping it's wings hard enough to lift the killer off the ground and lays eggs which instantly hatch.
Almost every case with jurors has no less than 2 jurors either be in close proximity to the crime, or have a connection to someone involved. Characters from past and future cases are also frequently jurors
The main prosecutor frequently throws glass objects containing alcohol in anger, often towards the gallery or into lit torches. Sometimes he slams his leg on his bench, instead.
A woman is stabbed in the back by a knife which flew out of a window after another woman threw it at her husband. Said woman was posing as her husband's maid to make him look more prestigious to guests. Said woman also ends up being a juror in the trail of the man falsely accused of the stabbing.
During the above mentioned trial, the prosecutor asserts that the defendant, who is constantly described as meek and jittery, vaulted a six foot long ditch while carrying 3 books. He ends up being right.
There's a pudgy old pawnbroker who threatens to shoot himself as "penance" for even the slightest mistake on his end. This is played for laughs until the man is killed and then the fact his gun only had one bullet in it becomes a plot point.
At one point, government secrets are stolen and smuggled in Morse code imbedded on music box discs.
One villain confesses to murder and attempted murder after the main character makes it impossible for him to obtain a hidden treasure. The main character had no conclusive proof that the man was guilty of either crime.
The main character has to defend a scientist who constantly sabotages his own case, because he would rather be sentenced to death than be forced to face the truth that his experiment was a failure.
Most of the issues the main cast face in exposing a massive conspiracy in the final case are a result of the actions of a bumbling pair of rich gingers who decided to scam a bunch of people for shits and giggles.
One of those gingers has a habit of grabbing and dragging people with a gem-encrusted dog leash.
A 10 year old girl and a himbo chemist were able to make functioning earbuds and a fucking hologram in 1900.
Everyone talks about how silly Ace Attorney is but only ever mentions the parrot and the Almost Christmas thing, so here’s a few highlights of insane shit that happens in Ace Attorney that I personally adore:
The famous orca defendant from Phoenix’s first case after disbarment turns out to be the secret sibling of another orca… who was also falsely accused of murder
The final case of what is widely considered one of the best games in the series involves a clown crushing the president of fantasy Hong Kong to death with a hot air balloon. The president turns out to be a body double who replaced the original president 15 years prior. This is all taken completely seriously
The inciting incident of effectively the entire series was an episode of cupcake wars that went really, REALLY poorly
The plot of the most recent mainline game is “what if defense attorneys were systematically oppressed by the government”
The main character gets hit by a car in one of the cases and walks it off. He does sprain his ankle though
Two separate characters can summon butterflies in court and make their scarves levitate. They have literally no relation to each other and this inexplicable telekinesis is never mentioned by the cast even once
A major plot point in one of the cases is someone tying a corpse to the end of a rope and then pendulum swinging them across a bridge so aggressively they get launched 30 feet into the air on the other side. This is fully animated and you get to watch it happen no less than 4 times
tounge twisters are lowkey kinda gay. whats your tongue twisting aroud? penis? ok gayboy,
