I'm sorry if this has been brought up or should be part of another thread, but a quick scan of the stickies didn't seem to reveal such a thread.

Just a thought that occurred to me as I was doing my 3rd or 4th playthrough of the series. Why is Phoenix such a great defense attorney? I mean sure he only lost twice in this series, but how many of those cases would he have lost without interference from Mia or Maya or even Larry. Think about it, I'll just list the first cases that come to mind.

1-1: Okay, he won that one without any last second saves by another person, but that's to be expected.
1-2: It took a last minute interference by Mia's spirit to keep him from losing Redd
1-3: I can't remember how he won this one.
1-4: Maya had to interfere and be held in contempt of court so Phoenix wouldn't lose.

Those are just a few I thought of off-hand. Anyway, what is everyone's thoughts on this?

1-3 - Edgeworth helped him

I just think Phoenix is lucky but hey I could be wrong. Even though this doesnt seem like amazing genius material :jazzsneeze:

But that's the first game. It would be rather bizarre if he defeated an amazing genius demon prosecutor in his first few cases without any help from anyone at all. Phoenix isn't supposed to be a genius, he's supposed to be kind-hearted in person while persistent to the point of being obstinate in court.

Edgeworth's the genius, Phoenix is just the goofy guy who has lots of friends, an excellent imagination and a strong desire for justice.

Just dumb luck. Most of his time ^^
Still...Later in the serie he has some skill too,
but in AA it's mostly just dumb luck.

I think it's a combination of dumb luck, the desire to succeed and maybe just a bit of skill. He does improve later, though, so maybe it was also a lack of experience sort of thing.

To be honest, he is always getting closer to the truth. First, he don't get it, the prosecutors become annoying and then, when he should present an evidence to keep his theory right, he got a big part of the case. Even Mia or Edgey spoon-feed him all the work... After all, WE ARE PHOENIX WRIGHT !
