Ace Attorney, the perfect crime? *Spoilers*

Ok... big time spoiler warning off the bat.

I want to discuss on what is the perfect crime commited in the series. Many of the crimes are perfect, and could only be solved by the maricles that the protagonist pulls off in the series.

I would like to ask, who did the best crime in the enire series? Who got the closest to getting away?

 

Rise from the Ashes. Seriously. That Gant really screwed me over.

 

Gant had it set up really good.

Only, he did depend on Lana Skye to take a huge chunk of the wrap.

Although he was certainly the hardest in game case cross examination. I mean, the first time you cross examine him, it takes longer than most cases... same with the second time, same with the third... *Gets chills from a bad flash back*

He pulled a Tigre Furio by admitting the significance of his own evidence though... kinda his biggest mistake.

I would say Kristoph is the only one who pulled off a truly perfect crime... But Gant was near close!

 

Kristoph didn't count on Phoenix continueing the investigation. I had more trouble with Gant than Kristoph.

 

Yes... as did I.

However... look what it took to take Kristoph down... 7 years of investigation by Phoenix Wright, a human lie detector, breaking the psyche locks of 5 people, forged evidence, Klavier testified against him, and a bloody time machine!

To top it off... at the end of the trial, they still haven't proven a motive, as there is no conclusive evidence that Kristoph never knew the Mishems.

They still don't have any conclusive evidence.

They don't even have a chance to say Kristoph had the opportunity, since he was in prison at the time of the murder, so he had a perfect allibi.

So what did they do? They changed all the rules of the legal system specifically to get him convicted...


Gant really based all his luck on the fact that Lana followed him around like a Zombie!

 

Definitely von Karma.

It seemed almost perfect. He hid almost everything. His presence in the elevator, the bullet that shot him, and Yani's fingerprints.

 

Hmm... von Karma...

Yes. It was a good setup. And it was so good, Edgeworth believed it himself for a bit. Also, the past incident he almost got away with... and Edgeworth totally believed that one his whole life!

I still think the underdog is cool... the double jepordy playing Luke Atmey... only it backfired and he got convicted of both crimes! Epic phailure!


What about Dalia? What do you think? She seemed to make a lot of mistakes in her first crime... I think she was just clumsey... but they completely got away with the past incident. Only she had to fake her own death to get away from that one...

 

Dalia was one of the easier final cases. I was able to read her with Moderate effort. The nickle samurai was a stumper.

And really, Kristoph's case required to take the advantage of the AA game's legal system. The real world is hardly like that. And there have been cases that have gone longer unsolved with less work done covering it up.

 

The Nickle Samurai was worse of a botched crime than any of the others.

Adrian had no motive, so she couldn't be accused. The only thing wish Matt Engarde had on his side was that he was holding Maya ransom.
