braid heads here’s my part of an ace attorney themed art trade with dear @solemntempo, rayfa and nahyuta from AA6! just thought of these two warming up to each other after the game’s events, catching up on all the missed years
Was discussing the sidekick characters a few days ago and came up with a tier list of sorts. I didn’t include one-time partners since they’re harder to judge.
Tied for first: Maya (trilogy) and Trucy (AA4).
Maya is just straight up iconic- her AA6 appearance just didn’t do it for me as much as the og trilogy though. Trucy is similar, in that she made a huge impact in her debut game but the interactions afterwards are less remembered by me (though aren’t necessarily bad). Both are super lovable and quirky, and their dialogue never fails to make me laugh. -
Second place: Susato
As much as I like the silliness of Maya and Trucy, having a sidekick that really seems to know what she’s doing is super nice every once in a while. Her special moves are also pretty awesome, with funny animations to boot. -
Third place:Athena
I admittedly don’t care too much for her as a player character, but I like having her as a sidekick during cases. Her animations are always a treat to see, and she has a good mix of serious and silly to her. -
Fourth place:Kay
It’s been a while since I’ve played MEI, so I don’t recall enough positive anything to really rank her- If I suddenly went and replayed that, I wouldn’t be surprised if she jumped up one or two places on here. From what I do remember, she was a good foil to Edgeworth’s seriousness. Also, her theme is great. -
Fifth place: Rayfa
Gave me the same vibes as a very angry Pearl or Trucy. Not bad, had some funny lines, but generally forgettable to me. -
Sixth place: Pearl (trilogy)
She’s cute, but the consistent shipping is kind of weird to me. Her DD/SoJ appearances were a bit forgettable to me, so I don’t know where I’d put those.
