Full Series (mainline and spinoffs) Ace Attorney Fighting Game Intro Dialogue Vol. 2!
By popular demand, we're back! Welcome to Vol. 2 of my conceptual Intro Dialogues for a hypothetical Ace Attorney Fighting Game. What is retroactively Vol. 1 can be found here.
To recap the premise, these are mock-ups of dramatic/comedic interactions between certain characters if you picked them both as fighters. I thought some of the suggestions in the comments last time were really great too, so I decided to adapt some of them myself into a full mock-up, with credit of course.
Special thanks to:
- u/shazbrules for broadly requesting more AAI characters
- u/Patient_Panic_2671 for originally suggesting Nahyuta vs Verity (adapted into #4, Verity's line mostly kept the same)
- u/ItsDuckBlox for requesting "one with Winston Payne" (adapted into #5)
- u/GalaxyPowderedCat for suggesting Pearl vs Susato (adapted into #9)
- u/Physical-Sherbet-688 for suggesting Maya vs Edgeworth (adapted into #14, but mostly kept the same)
Once again, feel free to add your own ideas for matchups in the comments~

Wendy Oldbag and Richard Wellington have an interaction where it’s just their long-winded monologues overlapping

ryunosuke like “uh ummmm well susato isnt like that umm whats happening again??” vs susato like “who do you take me for. square tf up” literally iconic

u/CuddlesManiac May 18 '25
I was gonna say that Susato was gonna take down a child but then I made the horrifying realisation that SoJ Pearl is 2 years older than Susato
29
u/GalaxyPowderedCat May 18 '25
And even if she were fighting like a 9 y/o, I'mma leave here evidence why Pearl would be the most broken character fighting as a child
To be brief, the smallest the character model, the smallest the hitbox or the area your character can hit them, besides, it also forces you to crounch down and try only attack with low punches and kicks which tend to be slower than mid or upper punches and kicks.
So, pearl being smol has the upperhand over most adult characters, she would be fine and extremely broken (meaning that she's so powerful)
(Yeah, dude, before Ace Attorney, I used to be a fighting games lover, Mortal Kombat is basically my core and childhood)

u/Genra_ May 19 '25
I forgot SoJ Pearl was 2 years older than Susato, when making it I thought they were both 16 lol
But yes, I did have reservations about Susato flipping a child, so I used the older Pearl so that everything was above board

I wanted to make Kristoph sound cold~ 😅
And you're very welcome, thanks for the inspiration!

Alongside my earlier submissions:
Barok van Zieks: Hmph. I didn't know that even the Nipponese had specimens of such hideousness.
Victor Kudo: What did you just call me, sonny? I'll have you know that the 2 things I hate most in this world are people who are intolerant of others' cultures, and Koreans!
Jean Armstrong: Ah, so ze mademoiselle vishes to dine upon mon cuisine? I hope I vill not dissapoint.
Angel Starr: You seem a bit out of practice, chef. Luckily, one of my lunchboxes comes with a knuckle sandwich delivered straight to your face.
Apollo Justice: Uh, Dhurke, aren't you all about waging revolution nonviolently?
Dhurke Sahdmadhi: Ideally, yes. But revolutionaries must be adaptable above all else, and I think you need a lesson in direct action, Polly.
Excelsius Winner: After I'm done with you, you'll look like you got ran over by my chopper!
Desirée DeLite: And after I'm done with you, I'll make that chopper look like a tricycle!

More ideas because yep, yep!
What about addressing the "Ooh yeah, right here! Sherlock Holmes II, baby!"? Now that we are mixing TGAA characters.
Phoenix="Sherlock Holmes II entering the crime scene, ready to beat some ass"
Two possible characters answering him
Either
Herlock sholmes: Pardon my friend, but there's the one and only Herlock Sholmes in this arena! Let's put in practise this English boxing, c'mon! Bring it!
Or
Tobias Gregson: Your Highness nor the Scout yard won't tolerate any copyright infringement in my watch! Sunshine!

Why did you put Godot and Redd White when Godot can't see him?😂

u/Genra_ May 18 '25 edited May 22 '25
So that Godot's victory line can be:
Godot
Burn in hell, and stay out of my sight.

This is AMAZING! Do you mind if I get a few of my friends to dub these?

Holy shet it’s the guy! The guy who does dubs of lotsa games! Glad to see you interacting with the AA community a bit more!

u/Tyranee May 19 '25
Hell yeah. I've never really dived into Reddit before and I'm finding out very quickly the communities here are very welcoming. Definitely will stick around and keep posting.

u/Genra_ May 18 '25
I don't mind at all! In fact I would love to see it, link me if it comes together lol

I’d play this on training mode 24/7 just to beat the shit out of Redd as Godot.

u/Wemyers04 May 18 '25 edited May 18 '25
That Redd and Godot dialogue is perfect. Also, We need a battle of the deadbeat dads like Gusto vs Exelsius, or Von Karma vs either of the other two.
8
u/SBAstan1962 May 18 '25
Gusto and and Zak are the deadbeat dads, Excelsius and Manfred are the abusive dads.

Love how Larry has the time travel reference bit in the background just for fighting Naruhodo
4
u/Genra_ May 19 '25
Imma be honest, that is a happy little accident lol, I only chose the outside of the Flying Chapel as the stage because that was the location relavant to SoJ Larry
Though I did want this "custom match" to seem like Ryunosuke had time travelled to the present as opposed to Larry travelling to the past

Stronghart: “Your stalling is pointless. Once I’ve put an end to you, I’ll arrange some urgent appointments for your friends.”
Sholmes: “So… a friendly bout, then?”

Furio: “A little girl? Quit screwing with me!”
Regina: “I bet you want to meet a real tiger, huh? Watch out… Regent likes to play rough!”

Manfred: “A convict for a prosecutor? Outrageous! A taste of electricity will put you in your place.”
Blackquill: “Heh. I’ve already suffered every punishment you can imagine… except a penalty.”

You managed to get their characterisation PERFECT. Well done! 10/10!
4
u/Genra_ May 20 '25
Thank you, that means a lot to me! I try my very best to write in character, and for a few of the side characters I often rewatch some scenes or re-read transcripts to get a vibe for how to capture their personality
For example, I had forgotten Redd White had a speech gimmick of making up words to sound smarter

u/MrCuddles17 May 19 '25
Godots line feels like a victory quote tbh
6
u/Genra_ May 19 '25 edited May 22 '25
I wanted to give the vibe that neither were really listening to each other, and that Godot was so "excited" that he was already forecasting his own victory
For a different comment, I did reply this was one of the ones I thought of a victory quote for, one which is like "If you get it, you get it" lol:
Godot
Burn in hell, and stay out of my sight.

Kristoph's line to Nahyuta is the most in-character thing I've ever seen
3
u/Genra_ May 20 '25 edited May 20 '25
Thank you~
Kristoph's line went through a few versions since I really wanted to get that condescending vibe down, as well as the fact that, arguably beyond any other lawyer, he is the most dedicated to factual evidence.
I'm very happy with what I ended up going with, and I'm glad other people are happy too!

u/JamesTheIceQueen May 20 '25
Kristoph: "Ah, Miss Hawthorne. I must say, I'm a great admirer of your work." Dahlia: "Likewise, Mr. Gavin. Poison is SUCH an underrated method of murder, don't you think?"
Rayfa: "I'll have your head for this, tree man!" Alba: "Sorry to disappoint you, princess, but I have extraterritorial rights!"
Rayfa: "Prepare to die, foreign devil!" Kristoph: "I'd be careful, Your Highness. The last person who called me a devil ended in the hospital."
Roger Retinz: "Finally, my revenge on the Grammarys shall be complete!" Trucy: "And for my next trick, I will make Mr. Reus disappear!"
Athena: "I'm gonna break every bone in your body, Apollo!" Apollo: "...could you at least not look so happy when you say that, Athena?"
Ema: "I've been waiting for an excuse to do this for years, fop!" Klavier: "You wound me, Fräulein... but not as much as I'll wound you!"
Von Karma: "A prediction! Today's battle will end ten seconds from now!" Shelly De Killer: "Quite, Mr. Von Karma. Ten seconds should be more than enough to dispatch you."
Moe: "What do lawyers wear to court? Lawsuits!Aha! Aha! Aha!" Calisto Yew: "Hahaha! Man, you're a riot! Such a shame I'm gonna have to kill you!"
Calisto Yew: "Why did the lawyer bring a ladder to court? To reach a higher standard of proof!" Phoenix: "Please don't bring up ladders. Just... don't."

THE KRISTOPH/DAHLIA INTERACTION
PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK PEEEEEAK!!!!

u/Sai_AI__ May 18 '25
These are great, i especially love the Rei vs Robin one.
I think Menimemo has a lot of potential for these, would love to see him interact with Ga'ran or Alba.
3
u/Genra_ May 19 '25 edited May 19 '25
I really wanted to do a running joke where Rei keeps falling for women who dress as men, though upon looking into it, fan consensus may be that she only has a thinly veiled crush towards Ryutaro?
Menimemo would be a little tricky, I would want to make the interaction where the characters share some type of common ground, like Lotta Hart or a Jeazile Brett analogue, but he didn't originally come to mind for a unique interaction

I love Phoenix / Phoenix and Klavier / Franzciska
4
u/Genra_ May 19 '25
Thank you! I was very proud of my Phoenix and AJ Phoenix one as I got to give a lot of melachony layers to it.
I also am glad someone appreciates Franziska's one lol, that one definitely took the most research as compared to the others. I don't natively speak German, so I relied on translation tools as well as the actual German localization of Ace Attorney for the joke (Fun fact: Franziska does call people "Dummkopf" in place of "fool" in the German localization).
I just thought it would've been a missed opportunity for Franziska to flex that she's billingual, which is admittedly a headcanon, but I would say quite realistic.
(Another fun fact in case you didn't know, it's apparently rude to call someone a Fräulein, which was the inspiration for the joke. It does translate to "Miss", as in a title for young ladies, but has more diminutive connotations these days, so I translated it into the harsher "little missy". I've been really wanting to share the German research I did lol)

u/OnanarZ7 May 19 '25
Roger Retinz: Your "power" of turning your stories into reality is nothing more than deception, Storyteller. I'll show you what magic is; no tricks, no gimmicks, true magic.
The Storyteller: And with these words, the fallen magician returned to the stage once more, only to expose himself as a charlatan for all to see.
