OBJECTION! - The Phoenix Wright Thread

I was thinking about that, too. It’s not exactly fast, so doing it on wakeup seems to be a good idea.

Fan demand is still fan demand. People still wanted him even though X got more requests.

Don’t worry Megaman X will be a DLC character!!1

Is this really the thread for Mega Man X talk?

Also: I can’t believe I haven’t considered the possibility of Wright/Dormammu. Stalking Flare still stays out after a tag, right?

Every thread is the thread for MMX talk.

oh jeez, don’t get my hopes up. nerdtr0n to go!

I’ve been playing a ton of theory fighter since NYCC, and I’m a bit worried about finding an ideal team for Phoenix Wright that also utilizes some of my other favorite characters; I really don’t want to fall into the trap of “you need to have Doom or X character on your team to win with Wright”, but I would like to find something that still works. I was hoping to maybe get some preliminary input here as to whom of the following might be viable:

MODOK: He’s still my favorite from vanilla, and I would still love to find space for him in Ultimate. His barrier seems like a natural fit with Maya for evidence gathering, or possibly his beam would be okay in pinch if I need distance.

Nemesis: My other new buddy. His RL Slam assist seems really good as a GTFO move, so maybe baiting the opponent a bit and collecting evidence while Nemesis knocks them across the screen could work…

Captain America: Just started learning him prior to NYCC. His shield slashes seem quite good now, and with the rest of his buffs in tow, I would, like MODOK, really love to keep him around in Ultimate.

Iron Fist: Big fan of the books and only used him twice at NYCC, but he seems to have REALLY good synergy with some characters and works poorly with others. He worked well with Cap when I used him, and people in the MODOK forums are swearing by him. His fly kick or crumple assist seem okay on their own, but I was also curious if any of Wright’s assists would help Danny. Perhaps Missile?

EDIT: Botched the name of the Nemesis assist.

Really, all the MMX fans need to calm the fuck down. I swear, you guys rage at every character that isn’t X. It isn’t that much of a big deal. I mean, I’m sure that he’d be a great character if he was in, but he’s not, and that shouldn’t be a problem.

Anyway, Crispy Tacoz is apparently going to try out Wright at Ultimate Norcal vs. Capcom 2. Get hype for high level PW play!

I think Strider’s divekick assist will help Wright out alot too. If you call Maya and they make a motion towards you to try to get around her, you can call Strider and stop them. My idea for a team is Wright/Zero/Strider, where you spend time gathering evidence from the get go and either go for an objection to power up assists or stock your evidence, then dhc with bitch fit into sougenmu. Then play Zero out and build meter with long combos until he dies or tac into Wright objection and Wright comes out. You still have Striders assist backing both characters up and level 3 xfactor strider with ourobouros.

>He got the jump cancel combo done on Nemmy midscreen…
>Maya bitch fit super looks to be a soft knockdown on the last hit
>dat crater stays for a long time
>‘Press the Witness!’ becomes a wallbounce in Turnabout mode, but I think we already knew this

With XFactor duration differences between characters; I think Wright may end up with a shitty XFactor3 b/c of Turnabout mode. No concern of mine, since I’m using him on point…

Don’t use Clotheline rocket assistas a get off me. It’s not armored and it leaves Nemesis very open to random supers. I’d say RL slam is your best bet if you want an armored assist. It ground bounces, and Phoenix can follow up with a short combo, then pick up evidence on knockdown.

Oop, that’s what I meant actually. Typo monsters ahoy. I had figured pretty fast that RL Slam was going to be his best pretty early on.

I suddenly realized that I should play Phoenix Wright.

Weird normals (MODOK)
Defensive style of play until he gets momentum (MODOK)
Proceed to dominate match (MODOK)
Shield (MODOK)
Really cool character (MODOK)

If Missile assist hits low, this partnership will be perfect for my style of play.

Welp then his partnership will be perfect for your style of play.

Now that I’m actually paying attention to him after that startling revalation, I realized that 1.2 mil is nothing when your level 3 does half of that. I guess you can combo off of Maya Shuffle too.

(Sorry, no time to read through this entire thread)

So am I to understand you intend to start looking at Wright / MODOK tech? I don’t want to be the only one checking this out on release.

On that note, I have a feeling Wright’s assists might be pretty decent for him. Missile seems like it will be decent, plus I was thinking that perhaps PTW might work as decent lockdown (or maybe even a combo extender?).

I’d probably go for Press the Witness unless Missile hits low. I’d probably go for Balloon Bomb for the space it controls. Maybe Barrier if there’s a sort of “cooldown” in between Maya shields.

He just got bumped up to second behind Iron Fist/MODOK.

Missile does hit low.

Fantastic.

I’m hoping my team of favourite characters: Hsien-Ko, Amaterasu and Phoenix Wright works out. Looking at the Capcom series represented in this game, it’d be safe to say I like Darkstalkers, Okami and Ace Attorney the most out of all of them.

how bout those hsienko buffs eh? eh? elbow nudge

seriously though, your team only has an OTG in the form of maya slide with that team. may/may not be an issue really. im not certain about the DHC synergy either as theres no way for you to follow up well after the ammy shuffle apart from maybe gavel hyper.

which actually brings me to a question i thought of yeterday.

since it is only possible to do gavel hyper in courtroom mode, does PW need to already be in courtroom mode in order to DHC into gavel hyper from the previous character?

also does anybody know what hyper comes out if you go for a THC?? i imagine it is probably maya super since she is available in both modes.

BUT!!! if you call out maya as an assist (for either shield/slide) and try and do a THC, what the hell happens? maya super cant come out as shes already in the field, gavel super likely wont work at all (due to the need to be in courtroom mode) so do the other two characters still come out and do thier hypers? part of me would love that if PW doesnt do any hyper and is able to move around the field freely hitting with random attacks/objection or something like that.
