Phoenix Wright has one of the goofier movesets in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which is really saying something for that game. Since Phoenix Wright comes from the visual novel genre, the developers had to be particularly creative with the implementation of his attacks in this chaotic fighting game.
Rde recently took it upon himself to reenact the majority of Phoenix Wright’s move listing in real life. Despite dressing up for the occasion with a suit and tie, Rde had to do a lot of acrobatic jumping to get this silly sequence to go.
One of the ace attorney’s most important moves has him shouting “Objection,” which actually manifests an actual speech bubble. To showcase this, Rde positioned a piece of paper with the word printed on it to sell the attack.
From here, Phoenix Wright is shown performing an aerial combo against Captain America. Funnily enough, this required that Rde do a lot of jumping around while holding papers and performing hand gestures.
While in Turnabout Mode, Phoenix Wright’s reach is greatly extended as his direct pointing becomes capable of dealing serious damage against the opponent, whether that be in the courtroom or in an actual battle.
Of course, Rde wouldn’t be able to emphasize this attack’s power by simply pointing with his finger. Luckily for him, he had access to a blue foam finger just for the occasion.
