Quote:While fighting games have made an impressive push in recent years due to some extremely popular high level competition and memorable tournament personalities, the fact remains that a large majority of fighting game purchases still go out to casual players. People who buy these games don't necessarily have the skill to compete against the best of the best, or even the best of the mediocre, they pick them up for different reasons: to see epic mashups between characters they've followed for years, or to enjoy the loose story modes that tie many of these titles together. It's the reason why most recent releases have all made sure that their titles have included beginner move sets for people who want to experience as much of the game as they can. Casual players look forward to things that top tier players may not pay close attention to and often times drive demand for which new characters ought to be included in a series. So why Capcom decided to do such an absolutely horrible job at implementing Pheonix Wright into the game is a frustrating and embarrassing mystery.

Yeah but he can do 1.2mil dmg off 4bars with no assists, no xf, no tricks. He's gonna take you for a ride kinda like capcom is by making Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 lols.

Always did wonder why everybody was in high demand for this character to be placed in a fighting game. At least the like of Kratos in Mortal Kombat makes sense, considering the violent nature of his character and the game he originated in, and also the obvious fact that it's easy to see Kratos being placed in a fighting game, because we've seen his character in combat.

Wright is just an odd choice. I know why Capcom included him, but I agree: this character doesn't really belong. And while it would be something for fans of the franchise to go bananas over, it just doesn't fit.

I'm still upset Capcom put PW in instead of Kirin, who would actually make more sense considering she's a fighter.

I do have to admit his movements looked really jerky almost as if they were missing frames.

I reckon that he is going to be new n00b character. Looks like you don't need to land too many physical attacks... lol

I always thought phoenix was going to be a 'joke' character like Dan or any other number of characters whose move-sets are based around humor more than anything else. And I was right. I'm just surprised that other people actually thought he was going to be a serious fighting character.

I saw the trailer and was astounded that capcom could develop such a unique fighting mechanism for a single character that incorporates both his personality and the nature of his source material. I actually applaud capcom for doing this and I'm sure any number of people will play this game and enjoy themselves (if that's what they're in to) laughing at the on-purpose wackiness of *gasp* a lawyer (who himself is already a joke character in his own games) in a fighting game.

I'm disappointed. I'm a HUGE Ace Attorney fan, as well as a huge MvC fan, so at first this was fantastic news. I like all the references in his gameplay, but he doesn't look like a great fighter.
