You know, I've been thinking.... and it takes some sort of talent to come up with some of the solutions he does. Sure, he may get a helping hand, but he has to connect the dots and figure out the case himself. And he always does. He's smart when he needs to be and wise when he needs to be (though how can we resist a panicking lawyer?). So, more or less he's a pretty good lawyer. Not the best, maybe not great, but at least pretty good.
Really, I was under the impression he's just a really lucky bugger. With really OP gear. Magatama, conections to the spirit world, evidence... the prosecution shouldn't even stand a chance.
Some of the things he did that makes me doubt his sanity, or at least his intelligence:
1) Confront Manfred von Karma with a piece of evidence WITHOUT a back up plan. Dude, you knew the guy was capable of telling someone to kill, at least have a gun, or make a copy.
2) Letting Franziska whip him out cold to buy more time. Lol, what are you taking a beating for? You have a desk, HIDE UNDER IT.
3) Letting the snob con-artist whack him over the head with a fire extinguisher. In the defendant's lobby. Before a trial. Wow. You really couldn't hear him, could you Mr. Pheonix Wright?
4) Taking that coffee mug to the face. I'll have to teach him how to DUCK.
And finally...
And most importantly..
PASSING UP ON ADRIAN ANDREWS. OMFG WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?! HOW CAN YOU RESIST ADRIAN ANDREWS?! D:

She's just so adorable!
Well, that's why I mentioned he was intelligent when he neeced to be. Like, when he had to turn the case around or else. I didn't say he had common sense. XD
And yeah, I do think luck also has a factor, but I don't think he's talentless or anything.
