>Sakurai and Takumi are friends

Yep, I’ve got a feeling he’s in
I wan to believe but the biggest thing not in your favor is Nintendo of Japan made the DLC suggestions and I have feeling they probably went mostly for shill picks. Characters they knew were currently popular and would sell well. I'm not sure Phoenix falls into that category, his games are kinda niche in both Japan and America.
>More Capcom reps
Pls no
it'd be fucking great
Monster Hunter is way more likely if Capcom gets a new rep
Rex could’ve been a shill pick to be fair, and he was deconfirmed immediately.
I genuinely believe Sakurai when he says it was too late to add him. It might not seem like it to us but I have to bet the Smash roster is probably largely decided before development even begins and development takes awhile. And from there characters seem to get cut, not added if data mining is anything to go by.
Also by shill pick I meant a character whose DLC will sell not a character who shills other Nintendo products. Obviously P5 getting attention from Joker doesn't really financially benefit Nintendo but if Joker sells well because the character is really popular that does. I know people considered Corin a shill inclusion for the last game but I almost wonder if the sales of various DLC fighters from the last game might have influenced Nintendo's decision making this time. Based on what Reggie said during the Joker reveal, all the DLC characters are going to be third party characters and I'd be willing to bet that Ryu and especially Cloud were some of the best selling DLC for 4.
Didn't he get soft deconfirmed?
>switch only
Heh...
I think someone involved with AA might have deconfirmed him but the thing is people will totally lie about this sort of thing. If you say something like "No comment" then it becomes obvious he's in.
>AA7 is in development
Can I get a source on that? I bought a switch for a new Ace attorney, Smash and Prime 4.
>Sakurai and Takumi are friends
>Sakurai likes Ace Attorney
these things are irrelevant since Sakurai isn't picking characters, it's Nintendo
but I can see Phoenix Wright making it in IF AA7 is being developed
Inb4 someone says that's not how NDA works
Kamiya did the same shit
But the anime adaption and multi platform release for the Trilogy shows that Capcom wants to increase the popularity of the series, and Phoenix in Smash would be a perfect way to do that.
I can't speak on the anime adaptation but Capcom re-releases tons of games. I wouldn't take it as a sign of anything. This is what, the 4th re-release of the original trilogy? They do it because it's a low cost way of making some easy money.
Sweet, I'll hold out hope.
Yeah, but multi-platform ports have never happened before. They even ported it to the fucking Xbox One, it's clear that they're trying to extend the reach of the series to as many people as possible.
>Evidence gathering
>Not door bashes, sneezing, pointing, dogs, metal detectors, speech bubbles, psy-lockes
>Final smash is turning off the lights if classic costume
>Alternatively, courtroom bombing if new suit
What did they say?
Psyche-lock as a grab would be cool, and I feel that it’s necessary to have a text bubble as a move somewhere in there.
Maybe, that's a good point though on the flip-side it's not exactly a hard game to port to different systems. The more important thing I probably should have said in my last post is that it doesn't matter what Capcom wants because Nintendo of Japan made the initial suggestions to Sakurai who then made the final choices. I mean maybe they could have made their own suggestions to NoJ but they were pretty far removed from the selection process even if they did. Don't get me wrong, I was hyped over Phoenix in MvC3 more than any other character. I'm just trying to keep my expectations grounded.
I thought I saw a tweet posted on here from some official account of someone involved in the AA series but now I can't even find it when I search so I might be fabricating memories.
>Phoenix
>Amaterasu
>Monster Hunter
>Leon
Goddammit Capcom has too many good contenders.
And then you're called a Capcomfag because of it.
>AA7 in development most likely for Switch only
OH NO NO NO
What would be his stage desu?
You might be thinking of the Kamiya tweet that said something along the lines of, “Had some drinks with Takumi, and he asked, “what about Phoenix?”
Yea probably that. I didn't look much into at the time because like I said, I wouldn't put much validity in tweets and interviews that have to avoid revealing anything before the character is confirmed.
I hate faggots like you
Why can't you just be excited for the character rather than despair over the company behind them?
The courtroom if you want the obvious choice, but a traveling stage that goes between locations (police station, gourd lake, global studios, kurain village, etc.) would be better.
No idea how it would work though.
what i'm mostly curious about is how would his trailer be like? who's gonna be the defendant and who's gonna prosecute?
He has to present the invitation letter as evidence at some point either way
He'd be pretty cool.
If we got another Capcom rep, I'd like to have Dante.
So this meme applies to Smash and he has a lot of options for his moveset to make it interesting.
So what if instead of just Phoenix Wright, it was a duo style fighter like Ice Climbers or
Nick and Maya team up makes more sense than Phoenix does solo, since one constant theme throughout the games is that Phoenix Wright gets his strength from two sources.
His friends supporting him, and his belief in his client's innocence.
I'm under the impression that Maya is part of his MvC3 moveset
Did you ever see how he was implemented in MvC3? I thought that was pretty perfect but it would be harder to implement that kind of character, one who calls other characters in for attacks, in smash.
No, here's your capcom rep.
Edgeworth or Apollo echo?
Capcom is probably the 3rd party company with the greatest IP's
Edgeworth, for sure
>fanart of maya channeling various smash spirits.
That would be perfect.
Do you have it on you?
Also
>Dante
>Morrigan
>Viewtiful Joe
>Gene
Honestly a lot of those arguments can be made for Travis Touchdown as well
I never thought of this but it’s absolutely perfect for his character. This alongside an evidence system would be perfect.
Edgeworth.
People love Edgy.
Nobody gives a shit about Apollo, which is why the series protagonist spot eventually went back to Phoenix.
Can it even attempt to be as silly as Nick in UMVC3?
If characters like Isabelle, Pirahna Plant, and Wii Fit can exist, yes
Yeah.
Hopefully they will pick the character that is Wright for the job Leon is cool too, but I think Phoenix Wright is the better option
>"Phoenix will never get in because he's used goods"
Any ideas for alts? I can see hobo Phoenix and Feenie being one.
Who the fuck even wants AA7, I doubt they'll get rid of the wacky anime antics. Reminds me of how good Nostalgia critic was before he tried to be more flashy and do slapstick sketches mid-show. Like sure AA had its dumb moments before but I still felt like playing a law game.
>Nick holds out the Magatama to grab opponents
>Said opponents are then bound in chains with a Psyche-lock closing them in
>Nick badgers them for the truth as a pummel, and then gesticulates in a direction as throws
>His echo, Edgeworth, does it too but his version of the grab is called Psycho-lock
If only, there's so much going against him.
I'd love a Sissel alt
Yes.
his mvc3 colors, since they reference different characters in Ace Attorney and the main character of Ghost Trick
I'd love to see him for the music remixes alone
Maya colors (unless she's part of his moveset)
Edgeworth colors
Apollo colors
Athena colors
Gumshoe colors
Franziska colors
Hobo Phoenix
Feenie Phoenix
Gee Capcom, how did you get 4 reps in Smash?
>implying Edgeworth doesn't take a chair and start L O G I C when he grabs
youtube.com
>there's so much going against him.
Such as?
Easy, they have the most iconic vidya characters besides Nintendo. Yet they still went with Ken
And they did it while releasing jack shit besides overpriced ports on the Switch.
The up B is hard to figure out, but I was thinking having Trucy appear to teleport Phoenix Wright with a magic trick
To add to these, Furio Tigre colors would be pretty fun
I was thinking he could run up and jump off a step ladder as his up special
That could also work as well
>step ladder
I think you mean a ladder up special
Step-ladder or sneeze
So many Ace Attorney threads lately, I love it

>That one AA dev recently implying that he's not in.
Nothing that's a solid deconfirmation, though.
I’m going to copy-paste my ideas from another thread, tell me what you think:
Ideally, Phoenix would treat each battle like an actual court battle, and therefore have traits that reflect this
>character portrait changes during battle based on percent/skill level (sweating Phoenix for high percent, cocky Phoenix for getting a combo, etc.)
>the character you’re fighting drops “evidence” from a selected pool after getting hit, similar to UMvC3
>by collecting evidence, Phoenix can build a case against his opponent during battle representing the investigation mode
>side B is “take that!” but turns into “objection!” after collecting enough evidence
>if landed, Phoenix becomes powered up and can use the evidence he has gathered against his opponent through throwable objects and new moves
>up B is sneeze or step ladder
>if Phoenix lands the killing blow, during the freeze frame effect a gavel sound is heard and “NOT GUILTY” appears on screen
>if Phoenix loses, “GUILTY” appears instead
>Sweet Dance Moves added to the Court Record
>If they were in a fighting game they have a low chance
Guess MegaMan, Cloud, Pacman, Snake, Link, Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, Lucario, Ryu and Ken aren't getting in
>AA7 in development most likely for Switch only
Doubt it, Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice got an iOS release a year after the 3DS release.
youtube.com
Imagine it.
>if Phoenix lands the killing blow, during the freeze frame effect a gavel sound is heard and “NOT GUILTY” appears on screen
>if Phoenix loses, “GUILTY” appears instead
Shouldn't it be backwards?
They barely got in as it is, Phoenix has no chance
what the fuck kind of name is naruhodo ryouchi
A Japanese one.
>Another "fill meter to turn your specials into better specials" character
I know it makes sense, but I still hate it.
>X
>Sir Arthur
>Chun li
Yeah, characters like Pikachu, Mega Man, Charizard and Pac-Man had absolutely no chance and barely made it in
He'll get in, he's the turnabout terror.
Exactly, so I don't think Phoenix will get in too
He's a defense attorney.
3DS games collection when?
Sick and tired of the original trilogy. Aside from them using horrible mobile game visuals
>Apollo Justice, upscaled Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice
I'd pay for that
Naruhodou means "I see" in Japanese, which was translated as "Wright", i.e. "right". Ryuchi has Dragon in it, which is why they chose another mythical animal as his first name. Pretty good, really.
This sounds fun, but isn't that just effectively... gaining stronger moves when your opponent is higher %?
That’s true, I guess it should encompass the “turnabout” idea more. I think comeback mechanics are shitty though, so I figured if you’re doing well you should always have the advantage anyway.
Joker has a good comeback mechanic now, where hitting him takes away his advantage pretty fast. Could do something similar to that. Honestly an evidence system, i.e. something to cycle through like Pac-Man's bonus fruit but not ranged per se, could be fun. As in, the right evidence for the right situation, like you pull out a thrown autopsy report when at range, but you wack someone with the Thinker for a kill move (and the SFX makes the clock ringing noise).
Is this just badly translated porn or does it actually have any good cases
It's badly translated porn (and no real gameplay, it's just linear) but it's really fucking funny. And the porn is quite decent.
Integration like that where it takes from the source is what Sakurai strives for, so I could see this happening so easily.
>use Missile on a leash to have a homing attack to the opponent
>aa7 most likely for switch only
It's a multiplat, and it will be made for phones primarily, that series is no longer a Nintendo one.
Alright. I'll look for a video online of it I guess
>sacred urn that breaks into multiple pieces upon impact
>all of Maya’s stupid publicity photos thrown in a pile
>metal detector like a sword
Limitless possibilities
It's fairly to easy to find as a download, it's like 20 mins long
>nintendo chose to shill games not on their platform
I don't think they are that retarded.
I mean until a Switch port of P5 is announced they already did that. Cloud is kind of that as well though not really a shill pick sinc epeople wanted him he doesn't benefit a game on a Nintendo platform. Like I said I wouldn't be surprised if Cloud sold way better than other Smash 4 DLC (especially when you look at who his competition was) and that caused them to reconsider what they want out of DLC characters, mainly more sales.
