Well, if you look carefully, yes, but I can see how it could be overlooked too

True well we have to give the picture another good look to see if we notice anything

Mia, Acro and Iris seem normal people to me.

Isis has a terrible complex towards her sister and does whatever she wants her to do at the drop of a hat, then years later does whatever somebody else tells her to do at the drop of a hat. At the very least, that points to some mental issues.

B-But Mia is a normal person! D= I think. I mean, talking about her personality and not counting she has special spirit powers or whatever.

Going back to the topic in this thread... Maybe I don't recall it correctly, but I think Doug Swallow's death was a little dumb.

Hate to break it to you, but most if not all "normal" people will have some kind of mental issue during the course of their lifetime. To varying degrees of course.

---

Of course I understand his reason, but that doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid.

SweetieBot, I do agree.
Doug seems kind of like an idiot in that light. But I think it is mentioned that Phoenix pushed Doug hard, then Phoenix ran off. It's likely that Doug was just getting up, wet from the rain, in pain cause he fell on an umbrella and probably hit his head a bit when he landed, so Dahlia simply gave him a good shoulder tackle.

Can we talk about GK moments in this thread? If so, I just remembered the moment in case GK1-4, in which Badd gives you the autopsy report for Mack Rell and Faraday, despite the fact that they're still on the ground in front of you!

---

Sure, you can mention GK as long as you keep any GK2 things in a spoiler, I suppose.

Well, of course it's weird and technically wrong to call it an Autopsy Report, considering the bodies are still on the scene of the crime and on-scene autopsy reports are not done, not even in Ace Attorney... I hope. I mean, those things are very bloody and smell and all... overall, I guess it's more of a preliminary thing they do. Take the liver temperature, do a eye-only assessment of things. I mean, with cases like these, it's generally noticeable what they died of...

Wait, why am I trying to explain this? XD

I don't have to worry about GK2 spoilers, since I'm not going to play it until all 5 episodes are translated, since I don't know Japanese.

Anyways, another thing that bothers me is how long GK1-5 pans out. Quercus Alba says the dumbest rebuttals, and everyone reacts as if he just unravelled your entire argument. It's stupid.

---

True, that was a terrible part in the game. It felt almost like a filibuster, you just couldn't get him to shut up long enough to nail him until long after your arguments against him were air tight. Heck, when his testimony came up regarding the... Samurai... 100 Rainfall... Spear... that Samurai move, I instantly knew what his entire argument was gonna be about and how I'd ruin it within seconds.

In terms of Top 3 Dumbest things in GK for me...

#1 - Handing the Yatagarasu Knife to Callisto Yew (I-4)
Edgeworth was such an idiot at that point. He was already suspecting Callisto of having had her dirty hands in this business and yet he chooses to meet her in a rather empty place, albeit not alone, and gives her the knife that is a known murder weapon without a second thought.
No wonder he got a gun pointed at him.

#2 - That stupid scenario with the Stage (I-3)
In this case, Edgeworth remarks on the angle of the entrance wound of Collin's (?) body. He says the angle shows that the victim was at a higher angle than the killer. Then we get to the stupid scenario where he says that the perfomance stage was set up and that was where the victim stood when he was shot by the killer, standing on the ground.
It was an incredibly stupid idea.
As soon as I saw the picture of the body I noticed the actually rather noticeable blood stain at the top of his shoulder blade/neck. I instantly knew that the angle for the shot was from below, but from a very, very high angle. Had the victim been shot from the angle that Edgeworth explained, the bullet would've exited below the shoulder blade.
I was really annoyed that the game designers actually thought it good to have Edgeworth give us such an obviously false theory and expect us to actually think that one was plausible for so long until the Haunted House is finally mentioned.

#3 - The "filibuster" at the end (I-5)
As mentioned above, he just kept talking too much although I had rebutted every single tiny argument he had. Overall, though, I felt the entire end of I-5 was too long and tried to be super dramatic, when it actually wasn't. Dragged on too long, like the later parts of 2-4...

Dunno if I mentioned this on the thread yet but...
Not checking out the contents of that freaking Tape in 2-4!! Yes, the Judge said previously that he would not allow any more breaks from the trial and that it had to be finished on that day. That's okay, but nobody thinks of telling the Bailiff to grab a VCR or something, which I'm sure is in a courthouse for specifically such reasons as having video-evidence, and play the damn tape? They don't know what is on it, nobody seems to think about checking it, yet they act like it's the evidence to finally bring this trial to a good close? (In terms of overall dumbness, I'd put this at about #4 in my list...)
