Spoiler: About Acro
He definitely planned the murder, so that already gives him a pretty good vibe for being a villain. Granted, he at least had the heart to warn his victim what he had done wrong - but got the wrong person because Regina is a stupid bimbo.
I found his handicap to be a pretty stupid reason why he couldn't see who was below his window. After all, I'm sure the wheelchair had stoppers attached - otherwise, he would've slipped away from the window, holding the bust. So I'm sure he could've held onto the bust and leaned out a bit further to see who was standing there.


Spoiler: About Godot
While he never planned to kill anyone, he let things go in a way that were going to be very dangerous and he was definitely taking some injuries into account - either on himself or the other person, but hopefully none on Maya.
Really, I understand his grief over losing Mia and all that, but that does not make them good reasons. Had he burned the letter, Maya would've been perfectly safe. He's kind of... a poor schmock who thought he could forgive himself (and Mia him?) if he managed to save Maya from danger.
He still screwed it up majorly, so I'd maybe label him an Anti-Hero/Jerk With A Heart Of Gold

Exactly, I agree about Godot and the marjority of what you said about Acro and Godot, but still, if we consider von Karma, Gant, Kristoph and company "villains", then it's a bit of a stretch to put these two at the same category, I think...

Spoiler: 1-4
:karma: He was cold intimidating and really set the mood for this case. Yes I know he ruined Edgey's life and I don't approve of it since Edgeworth is my favorite character. And for awhile now, I kept on wondering why he adopted Miles if he hated Gregory, I finally know why. If he just left Miles Edgeworth alone, Edgeworth would've became a strong defense attorney and eventually find a way to destroy Von Karma. Manfred kept his enemy close, he was a successful villian, until a rightious knight saved Edgeworth, after 15 years.


Spoiler: 1-5
:gant-clap2: He seemed like a people person at first, he was fun and funny. Then he slowly showed his true colors, and like Von Karma, he set the mood for this case. And I give him props for him being a hard boss in court.


Spoiler: 2-3
:acro: I like Acro for being different a different type of "villian." And even though he was arguably one of the sweetest characters in the game, he was still human. The only villian besides Ini that I felt sorry for, especially since he accidently killed the man he loved as a father. However, regardless of this, I still think Acro deserved that guilty sentence.


Spoiler: 3-2
:zaviaar: He's funny, I think he would've been a cool protagonist if he wasn't such a jerk.


Spoiler: 4-4
:violin: Kristoph is hot! And even though him getting revenge on Phoenix just because he couldn't take a certain case was stupid the rest of the stuff he planned was really good.

I already gave my reasons why I like von Karma as a villain... :karma:
Although the fact that he took Edgeworth under his wing was always a bit weird, especially considering his whole... "plan" in that regard...
"That damn Edgeworth! How dare he ruin my perfect record by getting me a penalty! Just you wait, you snivelling bag of glass-wipes! If I see you again, I'll shoot you - I'll shoot you like the damn dog you are...! And your son... yeah, I'll take your son under my wing and make him into a perfect Prosecutor! Haha, that'll ruin your after-life, my friend, knowing your dear son has become a prosecutor! Ahahaha... I'm so ingeniously evil!"

Another villain I like, but only in one single, is Dahlia... :that-b-word:
But only in Case 3-4, because she actually kind of... succeeded. I know that in 3-5, she gets mocked because after the fake kidnapping, she supposedly got into a downward spiral of bad luck and kept having to kill people.
I don't think so.
Spoiler: In 3-4...
...she managed to live a pretty good life until Terry escaped and Valerie wanted to expose the truth. So she killed Valerie, tricked Terry into thinking he met Valerie - although whether Dahlia-as-Valerie actually talked with Terry is something I wonder about - and would actually have been perfectly okay... had she not shoved Valerie into the car trunk. I just recently replayed Case 3-4 and 3-5 and Dusky Bridge's banister seemed loose and far apart enough to shove a body through and into the Eagle River.
If she had done that, Valerie would never have been found and Terry...? Well he would've been apprehended about an hour or two later, anyway. Worried that Terry was gonna say "Deh kidnapping was a bluff! All fake!"? No problem with that. He's a convicted murderer-prison-escapee with a death sentence about to be preformed over him - nobody is gonna believe what he says.


But aside from that case, Dahlia really is a failure... I mean, in 3-5, when that channeling-reveal happened (you know the one. You know, that obvious one!) I was expecting her to run off and throw herself off the roof. Or maybe grab a bailiff's gun and shoot herself. Anything, to kill the host body. What does she do?
Just stands there and lets them mock her.
Fucking idiot, that Dahlia...

Exactly the reason why Dahlia is not on my list, she was an idiot, she deserved the ultamate ownage the Mia gave her, and she could've been a better villain, and I still think she should've escaped from prison and changed her name and hair color...She could've killed Iris if she hated her sister so much and posed as her sister.

But since Dahlia isn't good at getting rid of dead bodies (Valarie) that's impossible. -_-

And something just clicked in my mind, if Von Karma didn't take Miles in...Miles would be like batman. Billionaire by day, crime fighter by night...think about it.

Hehe. I've seen some Phoenix Wrong's where Edgey is used for Batman scenes and/or Songs.

Dahlia could've been a really, really good and creepy villain. But Capcom failed at that. Just like they did with Kristoph - he became a murderer because of hurt pride which.... really is a very dumb reason to kill somebody. Just plain stupid.

I would've liked Dahlia more if she really had attempted to kill her host body upon finding out the truth. At least that would've shown her to be even worse than she was before.

Took me that long to realize that Edgeworth could've been perfect as batman, I just thought Matt Engarde would make the perfect Joker since he has zero motivation of all the stuff he did, he just likes to hurt other people for his own amusement.

Dahlia stabbing the host body would've hurt herself, she usually perfers other people taking hits for her, but that would be suspenseful, probably might make me like T&T better. But talking to you about T&T is giving me more reasons why T&T is my least favorite. :oops:

T&T isn't my favorite AA game, either. I said it before, it feels like a cheap excuse to explain more and more about the Fey Clan. Maybe it's just me, but did anybody care to learn more about the Kurain Channeling Technique when we already learned that works and several other rules about it previously - like, a medium cannot have a 'dream' while channeling. Channeling a living person doesn't work.

Spoiler: Getting rid of the host body
True enough, but that's why my original theory (or wish) would have been for her to rush out of the courtroom, run up to the roof and leap off the edge of it. It's suspensful, people could run after her and she smirks at Phoenix and Pearl-Mia before jumping. With the few seconds that remain before she hits the ground, Dahlia would have time to leave Maya's body, leaving Maya to wake up and be the one who 'experiences' the entire thing then. Plus, the courthouse seems like a pretty big place (and usually is) so it's very likely that Maya would have died instantly. But maybe that's just my sick fantasy.

True, although this is a game about brutal murders, with heads getting bashed in, stabbing and gunshot wounds. It sort of doesn't make sense to make things a little more light-hearted... then again, if Grape Juice is Grape Juice in the original...

But I will say it again.
If she had at least attempted that or something, Dahlia would've gone down as a really frightening, threatening villain in the AA Verse. Until Kristoph appears, I suppose, but I don't find him very threatening...

That skull inside his patched up hand was pretty creepy though. And his breakdown is probably what I would consider one of the creepiest breakdowns ever.

And I kind of wish they would be a tad bit more creative with the murders. I once had an idea of someone being murdered by being drowned in a bathtub, and the suspect happened to be the plumber who unfortunately was at the house that day. (A reference to Mario and Luigi.) I would put this in fanfiction form but I'm not the best writer in the world and the idea of making a murder mystery seems overwelming. And I'm not as brillient as whoever writes the murder cases for the Ace Attorney games.

Eh, if I tried and strained my muscles, I'm sure I could have a creepy face in my hand. :redd:

True... either you're shot, stabbed, poisoned or bashed over the head.
I would've liked to see hanging (or strangulation) in non-suicide cases, drowning, burning, beheading...

And it isn't very hard to write an AA kind-of case.
I mean not everything has to be elaborate as the Detective Conan cases - cause some of those really make no sense at times...

:beef:

Well when making an AA case you need to ask the who why and what, and I suck at making original characters and breathing life into them. And I haven't watched Detective Conan/Case Closed in a long time because of real life stuff and other animes I'm watching...and it's hard to find episodes.
Thanks for the advice though, I'll keep it in mind. :phoenix:

Not really. I read the "One of every Color" fanfiction and it made a pretty good case - okay my main memory is Phoenix and Edgey getting.... close.... but in general it made a good case. There was only 1 important OC - the rest of the OC were dead so it didn't matter.
And it involved pun names... Ann Arky, hehe.

There is only one villain that I admit, respect, and even feel sorry for her. In fact, she is my FAVORITE character in the series.

If only the game had given her a chance...

I'm gonna go by game.
GS1
Spoiler:
Damon Gant. :damon: I mean he's scary but then pretty likeable at the same time, which probably makes him more scary. And unlike von Karma I believe his motivations for murder a helluva lot more.

GS2
Spoiler:
:tea: She's so crazy! But in a way better way than Dahlia. Worst mother ever (obviously) but she's got style and a brain (unlike any of her daughters). It's possible I'm being a bit harsh on Pearl, she is only 8/9

GS3
Spoiler:
Luke Atmey! That crazy pinocchio/sherlock dude... and I really liked the anti-alibi plot swing. Quite clever actually.

AAI
Spoiler:
Calisto Yew. What an awesome character, love her so much. She's badass, super-smart and has the best laugh in the entire series. What more does a villain need?

GS4
Spoiler:
I don't really have one... On the one hand I do enjoy Kristoph and his too-evil-for-magatama ways, but I don't really get his motivations. He killed Zak because they guy wanted Phoenix as his lawyer? That was it right? the other in contention was Daryan because his hair, well his hair is something. But also it makes him too ridiculous for me to count him as best villain. I can understand his crimes better than Kristoph's though.


Arghh I so wanna find out the villains to GS5 and Layton/Phoenix games...If ^ that lot are anything to go by, they are gonna be awesome! :minuki: Oh and AAI2 (if that will ever exist over here!)

:damon:
He did it for himself, having almost everyone wrapped around his fingers for only selfish desires and right after his explanation this guy casually walked out of the room.

:aiga:
His plan for Mask☆DeMasque and his trial was a pretty clever setup. I really liked the idea of a detective actually being the thief even though it was kind of false. I did feel bad for him though, no idea why.

:psycho-matt:
That crazy sociopath and his magical glass of milk chocolate that he pulls out of his pants. He also tried to manipulate Shelly even though he didn't succeed but that's a few points for trying.

:headbang:
We have Ace Attorney the way it is thanks to him, and fighting him in court as Phoenix I felt so tiny compared to this guy with all his connections and how much people feared this guy. And his objection was so creepy.

:tea:
Same reasons as gems_01 and even after her death she was able to keep being a villain without the need of channeling her body.

I've just got too much free time lying around so I thought I'd use it to do something constructive. Therefore I scored all the killers I've encountered in the games so far on aspects such as creepyness, insanity-level, intelligence, breakdown and so on, to find out who is my favourite villain, scientifically :scientific: The top five became:

5. The culprit of case 1-5
Spoiler:
Image Hello.

4. The case 3-5 killer
Spoiler:
Image Even though I wouldn't really say he's a "villain".

3. The DL-6 (1-4) killer
Spoiler:
Image He's not always "number one".

2. The 2-4 culprit
Spoiler:
Image Guiiiiiltyyyyyyyyyy.

1. Tie between the final boss of GS4 and the one of GK2
Spoiler:

Image He totally got bonus points for awesome theme music.

I have to give that honor to Kristoph Gavin. He is not my favorite villain, but when we are talking about of evilness and intelligence, he is cleary superior to any other villain in the series -- Phoenix even needed a new judicial system in order to get him.

The more realistic villain IMO is Matt Engarde. One character is good when we can find examples of their personality in real life, and Matt Engarde is the pure archetype of the rich, scumbag, "pretty" and famous guy.

Bummer, you guys. Bummer.


I agree about Kristoph as it occured to me only yesterday that the reason Phoenix went on his secret mission probably was to get his hands (figuratively speaking) on Kristoph. :garyuu:

In my opinion, the best villains are those that are super-creepy, evil, (and preferably at least a tad insane) but that you just can't help but like in a way, even if you don't want to. Mixed emotions is a win. That's probably the reason why the number 3 in my list only made it to number 3- because even though he's great as a villain, there's not a part in him that I like.

Um, you are the one who put an image of the Big Bad of GK2 into your post. Granted it was in a spoiler tag, but you could have very easily just listed your villains without adding spoiler tags for each of their sprites. Simply saying "Big Bad of GK2" without the image would've not told us why you like the big bad, but heck: that's what we play the game for!

Spoiler: My first impression of GK2's Big Bad's Sprite
A fucking clown!? The fuck is this, a take on Stephen King's IT?


As for Kristoph, I don't know, I just can't take him seriously as a villain. His reason for all his villany stuff is simply because of petty hurt pride. He's acting like a giant baby, throwing a huge tantrum because his pride got hurt - I swear, Kristoph seems to me like he'd be hurt if you hit him with a marshmallow.

I don't know if I've said it before, but I don't think any of the bigger villains in the GS games or even GK games was all that interesting. Or intimidating. The only one I can sort of take seriously is Karma and while he, too, murdered because of hurt pride, at least he did it in a way that it was somewhat hard to pin any murder on him and he did evil things to Edgeworth, too.

I agree that his reasons are crap, but this still doesn't change the fact that Phoenix needed forged evidence and a new judicial system to catch him... And I dunno, while I think the villains in GS games are very simplistic, murderers in real life are rather simplistic too. People kill each other for shit reasons, changing this in the games would feel probably forced and unrealistic.
But... Yeah, maybe Kristoph's reason is a bit too stupid... Even Alita Tiala's reason is somewhat more complex.

Um, you are the one who put an image of the Big Bad of GK2 into your post.

Um, you were the one who clicked it? I listed my villains very non-spoilery and added images, in spoiler tags just for fun, and as it said "final boss of GK2" directly above that spoiler tag, you didn't have to click it. What the hell did you expect to find? And it wasn't even the first spoiler tag, after, I presume, you'd clicked the other four spoiler tags and found -tadaa- pictures of the villains listed, I thought it wasn't that hard to figure out it was going to be a picture in that spoiler tag as well. Well excuuuse me princess.

Oui! I didn't want to get spoiled there, I read it far too sloppily and just clicked... Ah, bummer, bummer indeed.
Gimme a "P"! Gimme an "I"! Give me a "P" and an "E"! What's that spell?! Pipe!

Which I might add, was an expression of my compassion and not a snarky remark, in case someone misunderstood that.
