Lotta Hart. For bullying Phoenix, giving rubbish testimonies, and for failing time and time again in journalism. |

Wendy Oldbag, easily. Every time she shows up, I know I'm going to have to deal with some BS testimony that feels like the writers are just trying to stretch out the case. It would be at least bearable if she had some funny quirk, but nope. She's the one thing stopping Case 2-4 from being my all-time favourite case. |

Jean Armstrong if we are strictly dealing with the AA series games, but if we include PL Vs. PWAA then it is a tie between Birdly and Lettie Mailer. |

It would b Athena because or the factor of how center-stage she is. In reality my most hated character should be someone minor like Lance Amano, but the thing is I barely even remember him because there was little to him and he was just plain uninspired and boringly written. Athena though, not only craves attention, but she is also written in a way and written into the games in a way so she requires you to like her to enjoy a lot of your time spent with the games, and she's the biggest hindrance for me in fully investing myself in DD and most likely but hopefully not SoJ. To me, the game never justifies why I should care much for her. She literally comes out of left field when Phoenix travels to Europe to fetch her, seemingly on a whim and the game does not create enough excitement or intrigue in regards to why she is suddenly introduced. It's like Ema Skye but that I could sort of live with, with RftA being a one-off bonus case, but with Athena you know you have a whole game ahead of you where she is a main figure, and what does the game do to give her a memorae opening? Zero. Phoenix's opening was so ingrained in the very concept of Ace Attorney, he did not need anything remarkable because the whole concept was novel. Maya got a wonderfully dark and depressing introduction by how she sat beside her murdered sister and then got arrested for it. Apollo's first case was a mess when his mentor got convicted of falsifying evidence and murder and leaving Apollo without a job, but Athena...? Nope, she shows up on a whim during a filler case and makes judo on a police officer because look at how entertaining she is. What a waste. The rest of the game she spents most of her time being this annoyingly energetic sidekick and and protagonist and damsel in distress, and why the hell should you care? Oh yeah, she also has an emotional trauma over something "mysterious" which makes her very sympathetic, but then it's really hard to buy how she also becomes the hero for one case and the happy side kick before any of this is really elaborated upon. Blegh, I just wish Athena could be written out of the series again. She just sticks out like a sore thumb to me in how much she lacks depth next to Apollo and Phoenix. She doesn't have the same baggage as them because Apollo at least had a full game where hr was the protagonist and formed friendships with Trucy, Ema and Klavier, but Athena is just her and Blackquill and she's only half a protagonist, so she's at odds with the other previous characters that the writers still try to keep around like Trucy or Phoenix's friends. Athena, you're nobody's friend in here, just leave the agency plz :P |

Apollo has any depth to him? Since when? He doesn't get any in his own game, and he barely exists in DD. linkenski wrote: Athena, you're nobody's friend in here, just leave the agency plz :P I like her far, far more than Apollo. |

He has a sharp characterization in his own game, he grows from being a nervous greenhorn to being quite self-assured, and thematically I like how he represents purity in the corrupted law, as he says "I don't know what law is" at the end which I interpret as saying that all he had thought about thus far was the pure pursuit of facts and the truth, but Phoenix's point in using the jurist system and exposing Kristoph makes Apollo realize there is more grey in the world than he has previously been conscious of. In Dual Destinies this turns into the "seed of doubt" that leads him to cast his closest friends and even Nick's undisputable trust in people into doubt, and it all makes sense since Apollo has been led and deceived all of his career in AJAA. And this is just his character-arc. He also has depth in how he formed a bond with Trucy and rivalry with Klavier. Athena's "depth" is entirely sensational and her arc plays out like a soap opera. It's unsubtle and worst of all I found it to be insincerely written. She has Blackquill, a completely random character btw, who she has some ties with you can get invested in as a player, but she pales in comparison to how much history Apollo and Nick have and now was not the time for a new co-protagonist; we were in the middle of Apollo's story and all Athena does is distract or become a plot device for Apollo's growth making it feel more artificial, and more about Athena taking Apollo's spotlight. |

Iris. Her "personality" is a goody-two-shoes that can't even be a goody-two-shoes correctly. |

I hate to be cliché, but for me it's either Manfred or Oldbag, Manfred because of all the things he's done and Oldbag because she annoys me more than anyone else. Blaise, Moe and Zinc Lablanc would be not far behind either. |

I liked her. She seemed like a real, normal, human being to me and that had kind of a novelty to it and I actually miss Capcom making characters that are only lightly involved but don't have any major quirk or gimmick or subplot you need to resolve. Kinda like Juniper if 5-3 hadn't existed. (wait, she has the one-note crush on Apollo, what am I talking about now?) |

Not a huge fan of Phoenix and Maya in the original trilogy. AA5 and AA6 are so refreshing to me since it cuts out all that crap. I do miss AJ Phoenix tho. Wish we got more of his attitude from it in AA5. |

Are you forgetting the first case in which she thought she could hold her own against Payne in a tutorial case? It wouldn't make sense to introduce her the same way twice. |

Florent L'Belle. This guy fails so hard in just about everything: competence, design, motivation, personality, etc. He's my top pick for worst Ace Attorney villain of all time. |

Anyway, I'll put in my two cents about my least favorite if nobody minds (I have not yet played SoJ.) Now I could go with someone like Spark Brusshel or Florent L'Belle or Ernest Amano, or even Richard Wellington, and while I dislike them all, I still think I hate Acro the most. I mean, what a jerk. I get that he's mad about his brother but Spoiler: 2-3 Other than that the only other character who comes to mind is Iris. She's too sweet. She's... like one of those candies that taste good at first, but ten seconds later you can't help but cringe at their sweetness. Everyone else I can think of may have incredibly annoyed me but were overall harmless and didn't make me have an undying hatred toward them. Edit: NinjaMonkey wrote: Lettie Mailer I didn't think of PLvsAA characters... While I don't remember her all too well, I do remember her yelling "SIR!!" in a really annoying and high pitched voice 50 million times. That actually hurt my ears :( Personally though I thought the snooty teacher was more annoying. Especially since she sort of reminded me of my actual first grade teacher who is my least favorite teacher of all time. |

Lisa told you about Glen's gambling debts (and IIRC told you where Tigre's office was) As far as being an interesting character, her personality was non-existant but at least she had a neat design |

Shelly deKiller. Just thinking about him or seeing his stupid face makes my blood boil. I hate how he calls Maya an "item" and how he has the nerve to pretend to be a gentleman and how entitled and bloody stupid he is. For instance... Spoiler: 2-4 And, worst of all Spoiler: Mild GK2-1 spoiler Idiot. One could argue that the police are even more stupid for never managing to catch him, but I just think that Scumbag deKnobhead is so stupid that he repells all common sense within 10 km. At least. |

Pearl is merely a child, though (even though Regina is very young as well). I don't like how naïve Regina is either, but well, I doesn't see it as her own fault, but the way she was raised. Same goes with Pearl, about the way she lacks knowledge about a lot of things. |
