This. Acros emotional motivation is so different from most other cases in the series, which is why most fans just see it as a stupid course of action. All other cases are motivated by one of tthese three:
1) Fear - most often of being exposed for another crime or misdeed
2) Vengeance - inspired by hate, rage or resentment
3) Greed - rarely happened in the series, mostly by psychopaths
But you described why Acro doesn't fit in the second category - he knows very well that the incident was an accident, that Regina does not understand what she did, that she likes both him and Bat. It is because of Acro's personality that he has a different motivation - the feeling of frustration, helplessness and insignificance because of Regina's treatment of the whole situation. Heck, he thought about suicide before considering murder
Just to show how most of all cases are either motivated by Fear, Vengeance or Greed, here's a list (spoilers!):
Ace Attorney 1:
1-1 Fear, Sahwit panicked
1-2 Fear, White protects himself from being exposed by Mia
1-3 Vengeance, Hammer is resentful for five years of blackmailing
1-4 Vengeance, Yogi is resentful for fifteen years of feigning insanity
DLC-6 Vengeance, Karma lost his perfect record because of Edgeworth
SL-9 Greed, Gant achieves control over the police and prosecution
1-5 Fear, Gant protects himself from being exposed by Goodman
Justice for All:
2-1 Fear, Wellington panicked upon seeing a policeman
2-2 Fear, Miney protects herself from being exposed by Grey
2-3* This is Acro's case
2-4 Fear and Greed, Engarde protects himself from being exposed by Corrida while also eliminating his rival
Trials and Tribulations:
3-1 Fear, Hawthorne protects herself from being exposed by Swallow
3-2 Fear, Atmey protects himself from being exposed by Bullard
3-3 Fear, Tigre needs Elg's money to pay for Viola's operation
3-4 Fear, Dahlia protects herself from being exposed by Valerie
3-5 Vengeance, Dahlia hates Mia and Phoenix for getting her executed
I'm currently replaying the Apollo Justice series so I'm not continuing the list lol
I didn't really hate Acro's plot and breakdown, but it was overshadowed by the other motivations in Justice for All which make more of a impact.
Yeah, I was so frustrated nobody took the blame for the fact that my brother's in a coma, so let me just murder the guy who took me and my brother in and treated us like his own kids real quick...
No matter how you look at it, the case was horribly written. The irony here is that, with very small tweaks to the narrative, we could've had a real flashy, great circus-related case...
As in, put up a note that calls an unspecified person to a location, which was originally addressed to someone known to be an airhead who wouldn't know it was supposed to be her even if you did call her by name... and just land a bust on whoever happens to be walking down there at that hour? Lmfao.
Oh and hope for the cape to return on your bust after it kills whoever is down there... which it ends up doing anyways because WHY-THE-HECK-NOT-writing.
ALL OF THAT to get revenge for a guy who isn't even dead yet lol who might wake up from the coma tomorrow and realize his brother is a lowlife who killed their adoptive father by mistake.
MMMM Okay...
Well now you're just exaggerating
At exactly 10 PM, as the note specified. Even if you assume Regina doesn't show up, the chance that someone else shows up randomly at this time is low enough that he wouldn't murder someone else.
And of course, he assumes guilt in Regina, which would prevent her from sending someone in her place purposefully. Which is the same mistake he made as mentioned above.
That wasn't planned. Acro has no grudge against Max. Call it bad luck for Max, because it casted suspicion on him (and created an eyewitness). But I agree, it's the only thing tying him to the crime, it could have been done differently.
Jesus, what a terrible take.
Comas usually don't last that long, most end in less than one month. Bat has been in a coma for six months already. Is it that hard to understand that a normally rational person like Acro would lose hope in their recovery? And during all this time, Regina of all people is the one helping him out, so he is confronted with her behavior daily. Which leads to the first point again.
from the comment that person made, i now realise most of the hate towards this case is how people interpreted everything thats happened, theyre looking at it logically, even though a permanently disabled man whos brother is almost dead getting no justice for the condition him and his brother are in is most likely not gonna be looking at the situation logically, but oh well
Well... to be fair, this IS a game about logic more than anything. Most cases sounded farfetched but realistic, unusual but could actually happen in real life. Not Turnabout Bug Top though. It played like something out of "Frozen".
Umm I've seen a Hitman testify in real court through a videocall with a voice changer... It happened in REAL court (that case may even have referenced it, it's an old Finnish or Norwegian video I saw back in 2009 where a guy was accused of killing his ex-wife and a Hitman was involved). I mean I don't know if the REAL case was even a case, or a setup prank, or a way for them to push the accused to confess, but it did happen... Somebody betting everything on his victim actually reading a letter, actually reacting to it the way they wanted them to, actually come at night and actually bend over the chest the way they envisonned they would at the time they thought they would and it turns out EVERYTHING works like a charm the way they thought it would... now that is a work of fiction.
Anyways, we could sit here and argue for days on a matter of opinion. You liked it? Fine! I also did, but not as much as I liked, for instance, 1-5 or 3-5, I thought they were better written cases. We'll agree to disagree on the writing for Turnabout Big Top, nevetheless it's still a cool case with some very emotional moments.
