"I was only pretending to be retarded!"
>>728969154It's literally always a kino trope. Even if it's not specifically pretending to be retarded, the joke character suddenly becoming competent in a time of need is always great.
>>728969154Sholmes does it right, because he acts like a retard for like 50hours or something of the sort, just to reveal that he's more like book Holmes in the end.
>>728969154It actually does work because he scolds you for messing up in the final one with jap Watson.It’s also funny how a chunk of the cases are just red pilling people on holmes stories
>>728969154It was obvious he wasn't fucking around ever since Gregson died in the previous case.
>>728969154This dude carries the game on his back so hard.
I remember in the post-release threads there was this really heated debate between two anons over whether he knew it was actually a bomb in Drebber's room in 2-3. Basically if he didn't he's retarded but if he did he's an asshole who endangered everyone by wasting their time
>>728970604Sherlock is canonically an asshole at times so that tracks
>>728969154game name?this post out of context has no meaning
>>728970604In many other instances Sholmes knows exactly what's going on but drags it out forever so I would believe it's the second option
Why can he be called Sherlock Holmes in Japan but it needed to be changed for the West? Surely the copyright applies to Japan too
>>728970735You got filtered. Dai gyakuten saiban. Newfags should apply themselves and actually play good vidya for once before posting...
>>728970735The great ace attorney
>>728970812Pretty sure Sherlock is public domain, but the Doyle estate can be weird sometimes. That's why they didn't even try to name him Holmes in the west.
>>728970812Most of Sherlock Holmes was public domain when the game was made, but the Doyle estate still had ownership of the last stories and would pester anyone using the name regardless. Capcom probably figured it would have the home court advantage in Japan. All of the Holmes stories are now public domain by the way.
I still can't get over how the existence of this game implies that Maya Fey is descended from Watson of all people.
>>728971478>>728970995Thanks anons, had no idea he was in the public domain now. I always thought Japan got away with it on a weird technicality because his name is technically spelled different with Kana or something.
>>728971839Where the fuck does it say this
>>728971839I mean if we're going with that, then the game is clearly shipping Phoenix's ancestor and Maya's ancestor together...
I quite literally cannot get over that they called him "Herlock Sholmes" instead of just making up a new name. There have been a dozen knockoff or similar sleuths with kino, memorable names and quirks to distinguish them, and here you have the perfect opportunity and do... nothing>Adrian Monk>Benoit Blanc>Father Brown>Gregory House>Hercule Poirot>Jacques Clouseau>Miss Marple>Peter Wimsey>Richard Castle>Fucking BatmanAND THESE NIGGAS WENT WITH HERLOCK SHOLMES, ARE YOU FUCKING 'AVIN A LAUGH RIOT 'ERE M8?
>>728972417Nick Digger bros....
>>728972417Herlock Sholmes is itself a referencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars%C3%A8ne_Lupin_versus_Herlock_Sholmes
>>728971839I don't remember it ever claiming that. What it does imply is that Asogi is a distant ancestor of Von Karma
>>728972717I thought it was some apprentice of Genshin's that took the name
>>728971839Watson?
>>728970604>he's an asshole who endangered everyone by wasting their timeThat tracks
>>728972717Yeah it doesn't. That would imply that the Wrights and the Feys are related, and not very distantly at that.
>>728969154Sholmes fucks her when he's bored
>post yfw both holmes and susato's dad started tap dancing
>>728969154that's pretty accurate to holmes, to be fair
>>728970604>he's an asshole who endangered everyone by wasting their timeThat is totally in line with Doyle's version of Holmes.
