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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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

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
NOT NORMA DEPLUME AS JENNIFER COOLIDGE IN THE NEW ACE ATTORNEY DUAL DESTINIES MOVIE 😭😭😭

Kristoph straight up goes Super Saiyan. If the anime had gone up to AJ this scene animated would have been epic.

Can there be a version without the voice overs?? 😅
So, its begins at investigations and ends at investigations

Where’s shamspheres first breakdown where he acts all drunk?
Where’s Means first breakdown of him turning the court into a classroom
Where’s Shelly de killers Walkie talkie breakdown of the Walkie breaking
@@EmolgaGaming where's Apollo head slam
@@loren6102i think thats more like a descent into madness not a breakdown
An added thing about Myriam breakdown is her computer home screen reviled that she does want to be friends with Juniper, Hugh and Robin.

Was confused when you put Enoch Drebber so low. Well i was so hooked to the character I forgot the actual breakdown.
1:19:56 bro has beef with pixels💀💀

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
thank you for saying this,
Yo, shout-out to water.
TED TONATE THAT LOW IS WILD
Other than that, fantastic list.
"I refuse to call him Eustace Winner" true off my chest.
"-As well as the characters who owns said Breakdown"
_So Gant is No.1 right?_
gant was not #1😊
Why is Norma Jennifer Coolidge?! 😭

The voiceovers for the breakdowns really don’t work.
Cool vid
im so sorry saying this, but i think the dub was a bad idea 🥺 but the video is good anyways!!
you are wrong
@@Errand_chip no you r either deluded or deaf lol
It was. I'd like a version of the video without the voice acting. Most of them are horrible & took away from the emotion of the animation
I love how you voiced breakdowns
Somebody has to. 😂
if i dont see stronghart in s ima boutta breakdown
was he
@@milcrossing yes
how are the TRILOGY breakdowns better than THE REST OF THE GAMES
Where’s the Layton breakdowns?
The voiceover was a bad idea... Some of them are good, I admit, but the majority sound kinda cringe
This
you picked one of the worst breakdowns for #1.
The voice acting SUCKS
16:54 I desperately need Jennifer Coolidge to play live action Norma de Plume lmfaooo
44:01 :)
After voicing him William Shamespear is now like my favourite Ace Attorney character
