If it's in the Court Record, it's good enough for the kindly ol' Judge.

Aerdan posted:I imagine it's more that he's so used to winning every case he's forgotten how to put effort into it. Or rather, he's been putting the wrong sort of effort into it. See him telling the Bellboy to not submit certain things as testimony. Instead of gathering evidence and basing his prosecution around that like Phoenix does.

Nidoking posted:Maybe she mentioned him not because she thought he would help, but so that whoever did (she probably knew it would be Phoenix) would learn something useful by talking to him. Alternatively, Mia is only acting on really, really old information. A sort of 'if you're in any trouble and I can't help you for whatever reason, here's someone I trust.'

legoman727 posted:Meet the Security Lady. She's.. ho boy. We'll get into her only redeeming feature later on in the case, but for my money she's probably one of the worst characters in the entire series. The Steel Samurai is cool though. IIRC she has some good scenes with her but those are in later games. At least I remember having a reaction to her after this... Bugger me if I can remember what that reaction was though. This is a pretty neat case too.

Suspicious Cook posted:Is he though? Maya's personality makes a lot more sense if you know about japanese shrine culture. It basically boils down to the fact that she's finally able to experience something akin to a childhood now that she's away from temples and training to be a medium.

Shady Amish Terror posted:Speaking of which, I think the game has already given us a pretty serious clue in the dialogue, but I don't know if I'm remembering correctly. I suppose hunting around some more will show whether that's right. There's been a couple clues in the dialogue but the main one I remember is also one that they take a bit getting around to, which annoyed me to no end. It'll become a lot clearer when we see that photo evidence Gumshoe has.

Mzbundifund posted:Kind of a plot hole that we have to hear about these people here, when Mr. Powers could have told us about them any time. It was also pointed out in the actual case, both Pheonix and Edgeworth didn't think to mention/ask about the Director and even Oldbag found it unusual. They're Attorneys, not actors and there's a whole set of assumptions that can and will glossed over.

Omobono posted:Except it's not the way things are done in Japanifornia. The game isn't done with Edgeworth's arc yet but this is a continuation of the Redd White case for him. In Redd White, he was completely convinced that Pheonix was guilty, just the same as all the others he's prosecuted... And then Pheonix proved him wrong by having Redd White be guilty, who Edgeworth was protecting at the time... Completely at odds with his stated goal of 'convicting the guilty.' Here, he's kept up pursuing the guilty but he's not single-mindedly ruthless about it. Now that the evidence has come out he's cottoned on that Vasquez is a bit too suspicious so he's helping out. So yeah, while that's not the way things are done in Japanifornia, Edgeworth has started to figure out that the way things are done is kinda BS (a statement which is the subtle backbone of the entire series.)

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:The best way is to use a wooden mallet, then burn the mallet, removing the crucial piece of evidence Phoenix needs in day 1 during the 2nd testimony. Don't forget to dispose of the ashes by dumping them in the next ocean over, your expendable murder suit the same way, make sure you were careful and thorough not to leave anything behind and get ahold of the script so you can write out all of the narrative causality leading to you being convicted. Oh yeah and make sure there are no witnesses or cameras of any sort. ... Sounds way easier not to commit it.

Three shots from the pistol, two heard, one accounted for. That's enough of a foundation to fight back from, but Von Karma's not going to make it easy thanks to his abusing the 'Almighty Prosecutor' power that Japanifornia gives them. Don't you run roughshod over the judge you Draculawyer

Ah yes, Von Karma. He knows there's weaknesses in his witness' testimony but rather than even attempt to play along with proper procedure he attempts to bulldoze through everything to get his verdict. Edgeworth might have been described as ruthless but he's nothing compared to Von Karma (as he warned.) It's great

Don't forget to add in Von Karma yelling at you to stop talking to the witness despite it being your job after every panel. That's part of the reason this case is so slow at least.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:I replayed the original trilogy recently, and I was absolutely stumped on what to do when I got to Day 1 of the trial, because I wanted to bring up the number of gunshots and the other pictures, but no, we have to discredit Lotta as some kind of Gourdy hunter first. One one hand it makes sense to discredit her in this way because Gourdy probably has something to do with this case, in addition to picking apart Von Karma's carefully constructed pile of lies. On the other hand the main reason this is happening is for character development rather than actually solving the case and getting Edgeworth a not-guilty verdict.

No one likes the scene leading up to this because of plot fiat, but that same plot fiat is what leads to this scene. Should have watched what you said Von Karma! Also poor Maya, still electrically charged from being tazed. She's a very good conductive medium it seems.

HenryEx posted:Remember, the proof needs to be in the Court Record for you to present it. This gets really annoying when I've figured out what happened and have a piece of evidence I think will prove it but the game is like 'woah slow down there son, your a crazy man.' Which turns into showing a different bit of proof which leads to something being added to the court record, which I later show as proof... And then I'm allowed to present my first piece of evidence to solve the case

Tenebrais posted:So I'm guessing it's that the pointy tip doesn't have any blood on it. That's actually kind of the point of this whole case, being something of a natural fallout once Von Karma got his comeuppance. It sort of shows the tight-knit relationship the Prosecution and Police had fraying at the edges. Bonus: now Edgeworth gets to really shine since he's in a similar position to Phoenix for once.

Grizzwold posted:Wait, does evidence law only apply to the prosecution or something? Or is that new and everyone just got fed up with Wright pulling that stunt in pretty much every case? People have mentioned it being written after the fourth game but there's a bit of general continuity within this one: Edgeworth has been playing this pretty much by the book, which we can easily see as a consequence of his own trial (and Von Karma's headbang from grace.) If anything, him bringing up evidence law here is just making that extra blatant so that the player knows that Edgeworth isn't prosecuting to win the case, he's doing it to convict the guilty.

resurgam40 posted:I don't get the hate either, but then again, I'm just reading, and I don't hear the feedback noise everyone's talking about. That would be proper annoying I imagine. This is the real non-hyperbolic reason everyone hates Meekins. Everything else would be fine in a quirky weird witness but that noise is winceworthy. If you still don't get the hate and have heard this noise, imagine someone getting stuck on this case and pressing him for more info where the feedback noise happens. Again. And again. And again. Buh-weeeeeeeen. Buh-weeeeeeeen.
