A new games from Capcom that follows the exploits of defense attorneys (or, in the Miles Edgeworth spin-offs, prosecutors) as players collect evidence, assemble a case, and try to puzzle out the truth of various crime investigations.
The series is known for its over-the-top representations of courtroom drama, with Phoenix Wright's iconic "Objection!" often used in memes. Ace Attorney is a dialogue-heavy experience with a lot of back-and-forth verbal exchanges between its characters, and the result of those discussions often ends in someone revealing a terrible secret or deconstructing a lie in hyperbolic fashion. In short, Ace Attorney often plays out the same way a comment exchange between two forum s on the internet might, minus perhaps the excess of curse words or spelling errors.
Ace Attorney's courtroom scenes are a natural home for some of Reddit's more hilarious comment exchanges, and bot creator negative comments - or those with 0 or less upvotes - an "Objection!" comment, while positive or happy tones get given equally pleased sprite animations.
By the creator's own ission, the Reddit Ace Attorney bot is currently still buggy, but they provided the source code for the bot and are encouraging s to let them know what they think. So far, s appear extremely excited to put the bot to work, and if it remains functional and sees further improvements, it feels like the sort of creation that could become a staple of the website.
Turning Ace Attorney into a representation of online arguments is so clever that it's incredible it took this long for someone to develop a Reddit bot for it. Of course, it doesn't sound easy to make, and micah's project seems particularly well-made. While the bot remains fresh and relatively obscure now, however, fans may want to brace themselves for Miles Edgeworth talking about being downvoted more often in the near future.
