How about them costumes, fellas?

Assuming we still have eight per character

Default Phoenix, obviously.
Red Suit, white tie - Edgeworth colors
Godot color - as bitter as the coffee he consumes
Black suit all over - reference to his great ancestor/Mia Fey - could work both ways
Yellow suit, blue tie - Athena colors
Pink suit, purple tie - College Phoenix (loosely)
Orange suit, brown tie - Larry Butz colors
Purple suit, white tie - Maya Fey (loosely)

Edgeworth if he gets echo'd:

Default Edgey
Blue vest, white cravat- Manfred von Karma colors
White vest, blue cravat - Franziska von Karma colors
Purple vest, gold cravat - Klavier colors
Black vest, white cravat - Simon Blackquill colors
Brown vest, black cravat - Gregory Edgeworth colors
Olive vest, red cravat - Gumshoe colors
Black vest, white cravat - Groom Edgey
I think for Phoenix his college outfits and DD/SoJ outfits would probably be alternate costumes, like Little Mac’s hoodie.

If we get Edgey as an echo, then a burgundy pink palette for him on Nick would be redundant since we don't have Chrom or Dark Samus palettes anymore. I'd say a bright red suit and teal tie to reference Apollo would be more appropriate.

I would main SoJ's Date Masamune Nick in a heartbeat but it'd be exclusive to Japan again t h a n k s C a p c o m

How cool would it be to have a trailer with both Phoenix AND Monokuma from Danganronpa? Monokuma could be about to inflict some nasty punishment on a character and Phoenix could "OBJECTION" the hell out of that and burst into the courtroom.

What a coincidence.

I do.

If you want a slightly bigger one, let me know and I'll make it for you.
Thank you SOOOO MUCH MAN (Ps if you could make it slightly bigger that would be great!!!)

I made a moveset!

Neutral (A-A-A):
(a)paper.gif
-> taps on the piece of paper twice (one hit each), and the final hit is him "presenting" the evidence

Side:
Superobjection.gif
-> points his finger

Up:
Autopsy_Report_DD.png
-> agressively lifts an autopsy report folder upwards

Down: Agressively slams the autopsy report

Dash: Throws a plethora of evidence papers. Similar to one of his attacks in UMvC3

Nair:
SoJ_Trucy_Wright_-_happy_1.gif
-> For all Air attacks, Trucy Wright appears. On the Nair she summons a bird from her hat.

Uair:
SoJ_Trucy_Wright_-_Mr._Hat_3.gif
-> For the Uair, Trucy summons Mr. Hat, headbutting the enemy upwards

Dair:
SoJ_Trucy_Wright_-_magic_panties_1.gif
-> Trucy summons the infamous Magic Panties, slamming them downwards.

Bair: On this one, Trucy summons various playing cards behind her and Phoenix.

Grab: Psyche-locks
-> Psyche-locks appear and traps the opponent! Up to 5 can appear, the more they have, the stronger it is. Maya Fey appears to support, more as a visual element (similar to Toad in Peach/Daisy's grab). The pummel consists in the Magatama glowing and the chains getting tighter, and the throws are regular stuff, with the chains breaking. Randomly and less often, Pearl Fey appears to support instead (it's purely a visual thing)

Fsmash:
Deskslam_phoenix.gif
-> a table slowly appears in front of him. Upon charged, Phoenix does his famous desk slam

Usmash:
Young_Phoenix_Sneezing.gif
-> he "charges" a sneeze and sneezes more upwards

Dsmash:
Judge-gavel-AJ.gif
Damagefull.gif
-> the Judge silhouette appears behind, and he unleashes his gavel. Phoenix makes his shocked expression upon impact.

Neutral: Badge Flash
-> Phoenix "charges" his badge, and upon "presenting" it, gives damage and minor knockback. If it's fully charged and hits on the sweetspot, it stuns the enemy

Side: Mood Matrix
-> Athena Cykes appears with the Mood Matrix! It is "chargeable" but in a sense you select the mood you want, with each being represented by a element (Happy = wind, sad = water, rage = fire, shock = electric). Damage and knockback greatly vary from each other, with water doing 0% damage but pushing the enemy, while fire deals the most damage but 0 knockback

Up: Ladder or Stepladder?
-> Yep, it needed to have this reference! Basically a floating ladder/stepladder appears and he climbs it, giving vertical recovery distance. Does not enter helpless state, and if he hasn't used one of his jumps before doing this attack, he can do so after

Down: Objection!
-> the iconic Objection! Basically works like a regular counter

-> Divination Séance. The enemies are trapped into it, with their names appearing in the screen. If the attack won't KO them, "Smash" appears under each one. If it will, "KO" appears. Then a huge "Objection!" flashes on the screen, ending the attack and knocking the enemies away

Apollo would work pretty much exactly like Phoenix, save for visual differences:
  • All of his animations would change to fit Apollo's ingame animations (particularly the desk slam)
  • His grab would not involve the Magatama: a huge version of his bracelet would appear around the enemy. And instead of Maya or Pearl, Ema Skye appears to help him. Other than that, it'd be identical

(images will be added later)

4 of his costumes would be based on his Spirit Of Justice appearance, while the other four would vary.
  • Regular (Spirit Of Justice attire)
  • Red (Miles Edgeworth colors)
  • Green (similar to his UMvC Godot costume, but with the red visor added)
  • Black (Mia Fey colors)
  • Original (Original trilogy, "Old-school attorney" attire)
  • Disbarred (The Apollo Justice appearance, "hobo Phoenix")
  • The Tiger (Furio Tigre, the Spirit Of Justice costume DLC)
  • Feenie (the "P" sweater from Trials & Tribulations)

Apollo:
  • Regular (his appearance since Apollo Justice)
  • Jacket + bandage (from Dual Destinies)
  • Blonde + Red and Black (Sissel from Ghost Trick colors. Similar to that costume Phoenix had)
  • Darker blonde + Darker red and purple (Klavier Gavin colors)
  • Red haired + Yellow and Blue (Athena Cykes colors)
  • Black and white (Simon Blackquill colors)
  • White haired + White, yellow and red (Nahyuta Sahdmadhi colors)
  • School Days (Spirit Of Justice DLC)

(not sure if the images will work, if they don't I'll try replacing them later)

Patience my friend.
If all goes well, the OP should've received an alert that you posted in his thread, and once he notices you want to be a supporter, will add you in.
Ahhh ok the Billy Hatcher one took like one min

Phoenix Wright is one of the only characters that hasn't been added yet that I REALLY want in smash. Just imagining Ace Attorney receiving as much love as Castlevania (extensive music track list, a stage, echo fighter, etc...) makes me want him even more.

I've even thought up a reveal trailer in my yearning for Nick to join smash:
(in a courtroom)
King Dedede slams his hammer on his desk: court is in session.
The camera pans to show Simon Belmont in the defendants chair, being wrongly accused of killing Luigi. It then pans to show Zero Suit Samus as the prosecutor (as a reference to Franziska) but the defense's desk is empty.
Dedede is about to pass his verdict.
The doors to the courtroom burst open (in reference to case 1 of SoJ).
The camera slowly pans up to reveal...
PHOENIX WRIGHT OBJECTS! (with Phoenix doing his famous point)
*remix of either Objection! 2001 or Pursuit - Cornered starts playing*
So, what do you guys think? I think that if something like this actually happened... I would probably cry...

On the contrary, if they went with the more modern design of Phoenix from Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice, they should use Objection! 2013. That theme is sort of the main theme of Mr. Wright nowadays.

Oh, and the trailer should use the anime-esque designs of the cutscenes from the new titles.

I stopped getting alerts on this thread and figured it had just died and/or someone else had made another one. Whoops. :p Good to see it's still pretty healthy.

The list in the OP should be up to date now, but if I missed your name, please let me know!

I don't think anyone has suggested this yet but what if on the Ace Attorney stage you could start an "Investigation" by doing a Smash Taunt as Phoenix?
Basically Phoenix's version of the Codec Calls and Palutena's guidance. Phoenix is on the left and Maya is on the right and they would converse with each-other on their thoughts on current battle. Also I feel like this would also be an excellent way to fit in even more Ace Attorney fan service. Swap out Maya with Gumshoe, Edgeworth, Ema, or even Apollo and Athena in some of the conversations.

If any other franchise is going to get codec like easter eggs Ace Attorney is probably the best option. If Phoenix gets into Smash that is and boy do I hope for that to happen.

That’d be comedy gold.

I always thought it was strange when Phoenix got into Marvel vs. Capcom 3, that he had so few unique conversations with other characters. He really seems like the guy who’d have something to say about everyone.

Who's excited for a possible reveal of Ace Attorney Switch soon?

I heard a rumour that it might be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show.

I was wondering, the obvious choice for an Ace Attorney stage is the Courtroom....but if you couldn't pick that as the Ace Attorney stage (or Ace Attorney got two stages, not that that would happen but humor me here) what location in the Ace Attorney series would you make into a stage?

I feel like some candidates would be:

Wright & Co Law Offices
Kurain Village
Prosecutor's Office (for Edgeworths stage)

Though I think it would be kinda funny if a second Ace Attorney stage was "Neo Olde Tokyo" based on the Steel Samurai series.

The Prosecutor’s Office could have the hot air balloon from AAI2’s last case as a stage hazard.

Other ideas:
The bridge from Bridge to the Turnabout.
Something taking place during Lamiroir & The Gavinners’ concert in Turnabout Serenade.
Gatewater Land from the Kidnapped Turnabout.
The Embassy from Turnabout Ablaze.
Kosmos Space Center from Turnabout for the Future.

(In general I feel like AAI has pretty great options for maps because the locations are big and sprawling.

I've heard sone people say that TGS would also be a keen event to get a Phoenix in Smash reveal too.
That just gave me an idea. What happens if the next Nintendo Direct concides with one of the days of the Tokyo Game Show? What if it reveals a new Ace Attorney game and the same time announces Phoenix Wright in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?!
