(SPOILERS!!!) Made a tier list of Ace Attorney cases. Share yours, or just discuss about them.

P.S. Included Contempt of Court and Conflict of Interest. Couldn't find individual images of the latter cuz Court Records is down. P.S. I'd probably move 1-4 to right below 5-DLC, and DGS-5 above Rise of the Ashes.

God this is making me want to replay the games again... I agree more or less with your list though, 3-5 is probably the best one in my opinion even if that's a really popular take

6-5-2 disappointed me.

• With a short time of presence, that queen present herself in a super intimidating, misterious and ambiguous character. But noooo, let's make her transform into le epic evil queen, because we don't have enough of these magical transformations in the series, right?
• Nahyuta is the most insufferable annoying piece of shit to ever exist on Ace Attorney. He doesn't suffer enough imo. But no problem, just shoehorn a redeeming backstory and call it even, amirite? Like we didn't had enough of these too?
• A whole country going into a revolution, in a Ace Attorney game?! This allows for all sorts of interesting scenarios and dilemmas! In tough times like these, when violence is the one option against an opposing system, what is the actual definition of Justice? But nooooo! None of the good guys ever harmed anybody! Gotta pull that morally pure card!
• How come the Holy Mother is never summoned? Where is that immense power that could be granted? 6-5-1 was not only really cool but felt like an straight up ducktales episode, you're gonna tell me all that build-up was for nothing? Is magic In Ace Attorney suddenly mysticism now?
• Shitty breakdown. Doesn't hold a candle to Bobby Fullbright.

On the other hand I don't understand why so many people dislike 5-5. It is an exaggerated case full of shock value, but it's also very well delivered and paced. Personally I love it.

I would probably tie with Resolve, or it's at least behind it by a hair.

Garan is the worst final culprit in the series, even considering Alba, and while I didn't HATE Nahyuta, he was vastly underwritten. Honestly, it is like 60% held up by how great and hard-hitting the twist with Dhurke was. Also, I do like 5-5, and DD in general, but the writing has its fair share of flaws. If Revolution didn't have that twist, it would probably be on par with 5-5.

Great franchise.
