> famous defense attorney Kristoph Gavin suspected of being the real perpetrator behind the murder of a random Poker player>nobody can even remotely establish a motive or anything, he's only suspected because Wright (who literally played poker with the victim!) said so during his own trial and got away with itGenuinely, what the fuck is wrong with Japnifornia's legal system?
>>737654239He literally confessed kid. Wright won, deal with it.
>>737654239He had a skull on his hand, what else do you want that screams evil!!!
>>737654239I never played any AA game after this one what was the deal big secret with the black psycholocks anyway
>>737655439Dual Destinies basically framed it as repressed trauma without ever addressing what it meant for Kristoph
>>737655585...that's it?
>>737655630Yeah. That's what happens when you change writer to pivot at short notice.
>>737655439What the hell is a psycho lock?Red locks are supposed to be just facts one doesn't want to admit to, black locks would represent something that your psyche had repressed so strongly it became entirely unconscious, supposedly as a self-defense mechanism due to how destabilizing such a fact would be if it were admitted in consciousness at all. In Kristoph's case, I think he absolutely cannot accept he's a petty asshole as much as Zak.
>>737654239Is he still the best animated AA character?They fucking nailed the whole "Calm & composed character going apeshit"
>>737654239Wright will say absolutely anything to win a case. Good thing he finally lost in a big way. We don't need to deal with him stopping the cops from doing their job any more.
>>737656620That's what it got retconned into because of Trucy, I think originally it just meant a secret the person would never, ever admit to under any circumstances
>>737656540>>737656620Because the game has tons of supernatural elements I thought it was some deep ancient evil type shit.That feels underwhelming and downplays other character's trauma that we inquired.
>Hulks out and has a full-on villainous breakdown>Wasn't even the culprit>Literally didn't do anything wrong in his entire life
>>737661267>Tried to kill a whale that didn't do anything wrong
>>737654239I mean have you SEEN the guy?? Sleazebag like him should be locked up out of principle. Bet he has a kid or two in his closet...
Anyone else happy that we have not one, but two people streaming the cases?
>>737655439Locked black chests that can never actually be opened with no explanation are a recurring meme in japanese games. I don't get it, and I'm not even sure what the origin is, but it's been around forever. In this particular case, you're just supposed to accept that there's no digging the truth out of the guy.
>>737661984All whales are evil. They eat all of our fish and drink all of our water.
>>737656620For Kristoph the fact the motive behind them is so petty maybe gives a stronger significance to those black locks. Something like he thought he was among the smartest people who ever existed, was at the forefront of the legal system, a higher being among humans. But deep down he knows he's as worthless and insignificant as some poker player punk, subject to the same merciless RNG rules. You can even extrapolate by claiming it's luck and the environment he grew up in that built the person he became, before any individual talent. He couldn't come to terms with this reality. That he could've been a nobody like Zak or Wright who he despises
>>737668026Without whales, the gatcha industry would die. We need whales for our ecosystem to exist.
>>737667072who?
Anyone know how long the forums for court records have been down for? I was trying to look up the thread for Contempt of Court and it just won't load.
>>737669320>JOBane>detective snowman I miss this fangame. Cases 3 and 4 had no right being this kino
>>737657382Wait a minute... I just realized this thread is spoiling me on the Ace Attorney games. Fuck, I'm sleepy.
>>737669480You can tell it's fanmade, and at certain points Phoenix acts out of character or at least seems like that to me biggest offender being him getting upset about Vulper not getting a rushed guilty verdict early on in the game because he deserved it or something. But besides that I did get surprised with how much more entertaining it was than I expected going in.
>>737656620It's so fucking hilarious that they treat Kristoph like the incarnation of evil when he's just a guy who got a bit passionate about the result of a poker game
>>737656540Has the previous writer ever indicated what the black psychelocks were supposed to represent?
>>737667960is this real or a meme? What are other examples?
>>737672819Paper Mario TTYD comes to mind, but I can't quite recall anything else that fits anon's description.
>>737672958Are you referring to the chests that had the spirits that taught Mario transformations?
>>737673010Yeah. Although, now that I say that, I remember that you CAN open them. In fact, you have to in order to progress. So, nevermind me, I'm just as lost as you are on what anon's talking about.
>>737668507Don't worry about it kid
