>What is Attorney Online? In short: It's multiplayer Ace Attorney. AO is a virtual chatroom/courtroom mix which we use to perform improvised AA-like trials, Civil Cases, Class Trials, Jury Cases, Investigations and more! Choose from a wide selection of AA characters (and guest characters), pick a position (Defence, Prosecution, Judge, Witness, etc.) and dive into a whirlwind of logic, banter, theories and memes.

Behold, the ultimate creation in memegrass technology

>It seems to be a common complaint among Prosecution mains but they fail to realize them winning is the default state of the case That's not even remotely true if you look at it a millimeter deeper than surface level. Every single part of the case the prosecution is supposed to present, from evidence to witnesses, is fundamentally flawed, and even engineered that way, because all cases are built on the premise that the defendant isn't actually guilty, and thus evidence is made to not be too damning, and all witnesses are expected to have a contradiction. No real work is expected from the prosecution, and the notion that they actually have an advantage in court is ridiculous when their entire case is a facade built for the defense to tear down
Austin Carter
Of course it's surface level, if the Defense can't break through it they lose. This isn't rocket science.
Eli Taylor
And that's the problem. The prosecution is supposed to sit back and either do nothing to win or struggle futilely for something that's built to fall apart around them on purpose. There's nothing inbetween and that doesn't make for a fun role
Chase Parker
Oh please, you can have a ton of fun with the role by offering up a good fight with well reasoned arguments while understanding your role is the foil. Half the fun is in getting taken down and fighting on like the villianesque role should, knowing your downfall is part of the climax of the case.
David Rodriguez
But you have to constantly keep your "good fight" in check, because if you go too hard on a defense that isn't as well equipped as you, you end the case early and ruin everyone's fun with the guilty verdict. Is it too much to ask to give a role the same ability as all others to be allowed to put their best effort forward every time without constant criticism?
Carson Richardson
Every role gets shit on for fucking up, prosecutors don't deserve a special bubble. And I say this as someone who has been playing pros since nearly the start, they can suck it up.
Luke Perez
I'm talking the exact opposite. Prosecution gets shit for doing too well
Aaron Hall
You didn't address his point that cases are built to fall apart around the prosecution, which makes them look like retards when they try to argue for their case.
In Ace Attorney literally every case has multiple pieces of damning evidence with little room for doubt. It's the witnesses and their testimony, plus the evidence that Phoenix himself finds that changes the case. To this day AO hasn't imitated a proper AA-style case.
Eli Baker
This just in, moderators on this server will randomly private message other users the IP addresses of users on this server be careful if you don't want your IP address spread around like this
Ryder Flores
This just in, the thread spreads misinformation to trick idiots on this server. Be careful if you don't want to be pranked like this.
Mason Sanchez
It's definitely hard to emulate the games with the way AO is
Wyatt Rodriguez
How have cases been going?
Benjamin Robinson
Verin ruins everything, don't come back as long as he is here.
Camden Lee
Cringey newfags like avatarfagging Athena steno, Verin shitting up cases and causing trauma, no fun allowed autists from Mumkey and summer turning cases into formulaic no fun allowed shitfests, discord cancer actively ruining the community of a game they don't play, rippers causing drama and making their own server.
It's business as usual.
Noah Ramirez
Athena steno is alright, don't see why everyone despises him so much. Yeah avatarfagging is gay but I'm willing to put up with it.
Nolan Walker
Wait what was that last one, i consider myself in tune with any and all AOV drama and i agree with the rest of what you said but what?
Dominic Ortiz
>Steno Avatarfags and lags the doc to hell and back
>Judge Doesn't pay attention and lets power debates go on
>Bench Useless and doesn't say anything
I can't wait for them to be a witness and wall or a detective and make the case impossible.
Julian Green
>>Steno >Avatarfags and lags the doc to hell and back Never had a problem because my computer isn't a toaster desu. Never knew he did any other roles, but from what I can tell from what you are telling me he just isn't good at his job rather than actively crashing cases like Verin.
Eli Collins
There's more to being a shitty player than intentionally crashing cases. Being so autistic that you refuse to change your style that actively makes casing hard for people all because MUH ATHENA SCHOOLGIRL WAIFU is just as shitty, fuck anyone that does it.
Isaiah Garcia
This is one of the reasons I prefer not playing with certain people, which I shouldn't, but I do. Because those people for whatever reason cannot actually play the game by getting into different characters or daring to even try playing differently case to case.
When the only fucking thing someone can do is be one character or follow one shitty archetype, it gets fucking old, boring, and repetitive fast playing with them. That goes for any roleplay game. Nobody wants to play DnD with the DM who does the exact same kind of story, traps, enemies, etc., every time. It's predictable and bland. Same goes for people playing the same kind of DnD character every time, it's fucking boring. If you can't actually roleplay, learn how to do it or don't play a game that revolves largely around it.
Benjamin Gutierrez
Reminder that the reason people put up with ILA is because they continue to submit to the oppression of the steno menace. FREE YOURSELVES, /aog/! YOU DO NOT NEED A STENO TO HAVE A GOOD CASE! SEE PAST THEIR LIES TO A BEAUTIFUL FUTURE OF FAST CASES NOT SPENT WAITING FOR SOMEONE YOU DO NOT NEED! BE FREEE! FREEEEEE!

Defense Alfendi from a case he witnessed in here. He was trying to lead up to me demanding that we call in a wit3 Snow. Which is bullshit because he wasn't on the fucking doc. A shame, one of my case goals is going up against an in-character final boss Snow/Hemlock.
Kayden Thompson
I was expecting you to post the other thing and now I'm disappointed
Ethan Hill
What a shame.

Bentley Rogers
You know what I hate about DD? It's one of the only games in the series that actually erases the progress you make in court, meaning you will go for a lead thinking it's the right one, but then investigation time comes and whoops, looks like that was completely wrong and you have to start at square one again!
Brody Lee
user, when you want to provoke discussion you probably dont want to say something everyone will agree on.
Gabriel Fisher
You know what I hate about DD? Athena is the worst protagonist they could have introduced. Her design is ugly and her personality is straight up generic and too anime-like compared to more realistic characters like Phoenix and Apollo. Her backstory is needlessly cliche and edgy, and only playing as her fully in one case screams wasted potential. What's even the point of her?
And no, she's not a mary sue, she's just a terrible character for other reasons.
Lincoln Powell
>What's even the point of her? Genki waifu mascot protag. Guess Trucy wasn't good enough to fulfill that role.
Owen Smith
Trucy isn't good enough because we already got Maya.
Gabriel Collins
Yeah but she had to move on with her own life as a spirit channeler, she can't be babysat by Wright forever. Trucy is still a teenager.
Jason Davis
She had the best theme though, even if the next game butchered it.
Tyler Ramirez
Her theme was better in SoJ
Zachary Gray
It's a nice evolution, but the rock guitars also kill off the vibe the first one was going for
Thomas Johnson
At least she keeps her unique instrument, the chimes.
Apollo's signature instrument, the bells, got phased out more and more until he was left with a generic rock song and whatever the hell he had in SoJ.
Parker Lewis
It's a symbolism of how Capcom gradually started to not give a shit about giving Apollo a coherent backstory.
Grayson Roberts

Even if it's a drama-infested shithole, have there still been any good cases recently?

Have we even had any cases where mecha were a prominent role in them? The only one I can think of that's close is the TTGL case
