In case anyone is wondering why I used the ds versions of the investigations games, it’s because this was supposed to come out the same weekend as the investigation collection. If I started work on this video after the game released, I would use the official translation
I think you don't really understand that not every breakdown must be over the top clownery. Acro's and Mimi's are wonderful BECAUSE they are tame and they suit their characters and the tragedy of their situations. Seeing Dee Vasquez scream and foam would break her character too. These are done masterfully and they work well because they are contrasted to real villain breakdowns. If every breakdown had the same energy, none of them would have impact Not being highly animated and extravagant doesn't make breakdowns bad or not impactful or unemotional. If anything, they hit harder
Considering the amount of quiet/emotional breakdowns in high places, I think he understands it well enough. The reason some of them are not higher is explained in the video, namely, many of the lower ranks don't feel different than a regular damaged sprite
yeah, I really like Acro’s breakdown. it not only shows that he’s been living with the tragedy of his brother for ages, but it also shows due to his nature that even if he suffered, he knows that he murdered someone, he knows he’s wrong. just a total moment of giving up since he can’t do anything else
Ted Tonate that low is a crime IMO. I think given the context of how he was so narcissistic about his bomb capabilities, and the irony having to resort to breaking the bomb with his head, and then the extra bit where it doesn’t even work at the end is perfect
I think Patricia's / Fifi's breakdown is good in retrospect, as it makes you feel bad for her at first, yet you eventually realise how evil of a person she is and start wondering how much of what she said was true, or if she just didn't want Dogen / Kanis to rat her out about the assassination plot
I don't agree with numerous of these. I appreciate subtlety a LOT, the breakdown is a moment of eruption. It's an expression, and sometimes someone falling apart or sobbing has way more of an impact than the 300'th explosive freakout where someone goes "Daaaaamn! Yes I diiiiid it!". IMO, a breakdown should be a satisfying decisive moment where what was *hidden* and *pressured down on* by the case is finally unleashed. It proves the subject's guilt, regret, anger, disdain, despair, etc. and allows the truth to be revealed. It's why Athena's Mood Matrix fits well mentally with the series IMO, so much importance is about the psychology, feelings, and expression of the hidden feelings. Sometimes, a surprise is significantly better and more cathartic than a Luke Atmey-esq breakdown.
While I love the voice acting IDEA and some VA’s did genuinely good enough where I’d praise them, Will all due respect, Im just gonna come out and say this: Most of them fall flat or sound like children are (badly) voice acting, And also I need to say this, Aura’s voice acting (in the robot breakdown) seriously sounded like she was moaning like this was a very different video💀(I’m genuinely sorry there but I couldn’t keep that thought in), I get what the VA was GOING for but it didn’t sound right at all I will give some specific praise though and say the “WÄÄÄH” acting had me busting up though and I also personally really loved how unhinged the voice acting for Ted sounded
My problem with Courtney Sithe's breakdown is that it builds up and then "edges" you. The game knows that her confessing is not satisfying enough, so it gives you a second chance to actually break through her, which not only raises the stakes but also makes it more exciting to take her down. And then, her breakdown is just slamming the desk hard, something we've seen already a lot of times. It's just not satisfying and probably would've been much better if she didn't "confess" at all at the first place.
The video had a lot of effort put into it, but I disagree with the rankings themselves. Animations that are exaggerated or incredibly long tend to be placed really high, even when they look terrible, like Daryan's, Stronghart's or Atishon's, whereas longer animations that have more restraint and aren't as goofy, like Tonate's, or simpler animations like Mimi, Acro, Gant and any others end up rather low. Glad to see Kristoph high, though
I think simplicity in a breakdown is very good where appropriate. Mimi and Acro's breakdowns are great, because they aren't the type of characters who would have some over the top reaction to being caught. It can certainly be mediocre, like with Redd White, but it is definitely not bad inherently.
I thought Mimi's breakdown was her screaming into her beret, honestly. It made more sense as a breakdown than just picking the part she admits her guilt.
Based on this list, I ranked the games based on their breakdown. 1. T&T 2. SOJ 3. Great Ace Attorney 4. AAI2 5. Apollo Justice 6. Justice for All 7. DD 8. Great Ace Attorney 2 9. Ace Attorney 10. AAI
The voice acting was a fun touch! And some of the commentary is really funny. I don't have a lot of opinions when it comes to the breakdowns, but this was still enjoyable to watch
I get where you're coming from with some of these rankings but a lot of them i have to disagree. I LOVE Ted Tonate's breakdown, honestly one of my favorites (you're right tho, they did Enoch dirty)
I desagree so hard with this ranking ! I think half of the breakdowns you don't like are part of my favourite ones because they just fit SO WELL to the characters ... of course a rich 5 years old kid would react with a crying tantrum, we can not expect him to go crazy super sayan mode ... But I understand what you like in breakdowns and I respect your choices anyway 😁
True. I mean, I also hate Lance, but he's (technically) supposed to be unlikeable. His breakdown was supposed to be ranked more on how it fits his character etc rather than "no explosive mental breakdown!? F TIER!!"
Wanna bet that Enoch didn't have a breakdown since he didn't actually kill someone? People who didn't kill anyone, they dontget massive breakdowns. In fact, most of those were in F or D tiers. Enoch was pretty much got sidelined as soon as Sithe was on the stand too so it fits that his breakdown felt sidelined too. He barely says anything during her testimonies or dialogue in between too And then she barely got a breakdown herself too Sidelined so much so that I didn't even think that was his breakdown since the animation where his arms fly up is similar to his damage animation. Though I bet the idea for him was that since his animations have so many moving parts that once Ryonusuke pointed out that he almost ruined another young scientist's life like how his career as a scientist was ruined, it was likely meant to show his remorse for that rather than his plan to kill Asman. He was pretty aloof and cynical about the whole thing (even calling Harebrayne a fraud too) until that was brought up. Maybe itvwas meant to show his more hunan side ratger than his "robotic" side. Not trying to justify it since he was massively sidelined the second Sithe hit the stand, but it makes sense
17:23 OOORRRR Phoenix just didn’t like what he saw underneath that atire. Think about it, would you want to see a pretty woman underneath or a lady who’s old enough to be your mother?
Simon is just great, poor guy couldn't do anything to save himself in the right way so he became the biggest villain ever and used everyone almost acomplishing everything, 10/10 character
Am i blind or did i not see Van Zieks breakdown in the list, its got to be one of my favourites, the mix of ost, animations and the story overall was amazing
The fact he didn't use the hurt sprite before transitioning into that smug smile and then the cackling is the only issue I'd see. And it's great as is anyway.
You're entitled to your opinion on Eustace Winner as a name, but idk i don't think the pettiness of refusing to call him that was necessary. At the end of the day, it's his canon name now, better to learn to get used to it since, in a couple years, that's what most of the fandom will be referring to him as. And tbh, after seeing the official translation in action, its really not THAT bad, they get some great bits out of it.
@espurrseyes42 that's fine dude, if you wanna be left out and eventually be surrounded by people who have no idea why you're calling him the wrong name be my guest. But I personally won't be left behind, I'm not wasting my breath being petty over something we all knew would probably happen someday.

@@Berlinh2 speaking facts*
My brother he ranked Gina and Franziska and Sebastian and Terry in S tier and they are an emotional breakdown and they aren’t not over the top.

I think that he is the best 1 culprit.
A comment already mentions this, but a lot of breakdowns benefit from "less is more". Except for Enoch, he deserved a more over the top one.
Boy, you’re really good at BREAKING DOWN those moments! A real ACE of a ranking!
I agree with this
Kristoph straight up goes Super Saiyan. If the anime had gone up to AJ this scene animated would have been epic.
NOT NORMA DEPLUME AS JENNIFER COOLIDGE IN THE NEW ACE ATTORNEY DUAL DESTINIES MOVIE 😭😭😭

I will give some specific praise though and say the “WÄÄÄH” acting had me busting up though and I also personally really loved how unhinged the voice acting for Ted sounded
thank you for saying this,
Yeah. A bunch of the laughing ones don't do them justice either, like Damon Gant's.
The guy who did the Furio Tigre went SO HARD though. That guy can S C R E A M
Stronghart's was great though-

Was confused when you put Enoch Drebber so low. Well i was so hooked to the character I forgot the actual breakdown.

Strongharts animation being bad I have to disagree, but other than that, Yeah you're right

An added thing about Myriam breakdown is her computer home screen reviled that she does want to be friends with Juniper, Hugh and Robin.
The voice acting was a fun touch! And some of the commentary is really funny. I don't have a lot of opinions when it comes to the breakdowns, but this was still enjoyable to watch

Atishion's breakdown reminds me alot of a Tomodachi Life dream. Especially with how his henchmen are animated
Kristoph's breakdown was the best voiced in the entire video

The voiceovers for the breakdowns really don’t work.
So, its begins at investigations and ends at investigations
norma deplumes jennifer coolidge voice is sending me
Can there be a version without the voice overs?? 😅
Yikes, I didn't know it'd be that bad before playing the video.

Like Jake Marshall had a cool breakdown, but it wasn't too big since he didn't kill anybody.
58:37 THEY ROASTED AI ANIMATION. LOL.

Wow Abli Urghide was snuffed the list whole heartedly… he was my favorite character and breakdown. :(

For me, Manfred von karma is the best breakdown
Is it all official voice characters???
