turnabout big top hate?
man, i really didnt expect people to hate this case online. pretty much most peoples top 5 worst cases in the series, and i really didnt feel that way when i first played it. acro made me feel so sorry for him, but people called him a cold blooded killer? hear me out. him and his brother were taken in when they were homeless kids by a kind man who took care of them for so long. his brother and regina develop a sort of friendship i guess? long story short, regina accidentally enacts nuclear revenge on bat because he made her sneeze a couple times, and this accident cause bat to fall into a coma and acro to lose sense in his lower body. thats both of their careers over. on top of that, regina didnt understand what she did, and every day she would bring acro his food and help him out, all while putting on a constant smile, saying leon and possibly his brother will become stars in the sky without understanding what she did, meanwhile acro believing that she did what she did on purpose because she gave bat a scarf covered in pepper before he did his bet of sticking his head in the lions mouth. in acros eyes, he cannot comprehend someone being as ignorant as regina, yet he knows its true, so he has a hard time actually coming to terms with that fact. he believes that regina tries to kill bat, but he also deep down knows she didnt, yet her constant smiling and ignorance towards the situation, the situation which hospitalised both of them and ruined their careers, slowly creeps up on him and he suddenly realises that he cant take it anymore, being "taunted" by him and his brothers assailant, not being able to function like a basic human being, not having a career anymore, and all because of this one girl. he wanted to believe her "attempted murder" wasnt an accident, but he knew deep down that it was a genuine accident, so at this point he was in denial. he gives her a note, HOPING she will understand it, even though its obvious she wouldnt, and he waited until someone showed up at the agreed upon meeting place. he probably knew no one would show up, but to his surprise, someone did actually show up. thinking it could only be regina, he drops max's bust, only to realise he had killed the very man who had been nothing but nice to him and the circus family. he had tried to kill regina because he had enough, but now that he accidentally killed the one ray of shining hope in his life, he had basically given up. he wanted to end it for what he had done because he couldnt bare it anymore, but he quickly remembered that there was still that one glimmer of hope left in his sad and robbed life. his brother. and thats when it all hits him at the end of the case and he starts crying, making me feel emotional for him as well.

TL;DR acro is a very redeemable character, his situation, circumstances, interactions, and his entire life having crumbled arounf him are what drove him to attempt to kill a 16 year old, who was the cause of it all

I don't hate the premise for this case, I hate how illogical and stupid (to a degree) it was. We're all supposed to believe that Acro, the most composed guy in the entire game, is in fact so stupid he would not call an airhead by name to a location and instead kills somebody else he cared for? I, for one, could never believe Acro was this stupid... Regina could've comitted this crime this way, but not Acro! I don't know if that makes sense but that's the reason why I'm not really into this case, I mean I don't hate it but still... it's not like, say for instance, Turnabout Beginning... or the murder at the Kurain Village! I still can't believe how that Kardashian Mimi Miney has more intellect than freaking Acro.

acros still human though, he was composed, but life slowly crept up to him and he just went insane on the inside i guess

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 really think acro was the most "human" out of any of the killers so far, if that makes sense, due to how relatable his feeling were. he committed murder because he went insane from not being able to take it anymore, and how no one got punished for what happened to him and his brother. on top of that he was very upset at the fact that it all couldve been prevented if regina had just accepted a simple date from bat instead of playing around with him and making him stick his head in a lion lol
I can't speak for most people but the love triangle in this kinda made me want to die. A 16 year old being pursued by people way older than her made me uncomfortable. This most likely was referencing something about circus culture now that I think about it.

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.

galactica was 21 i think, ben didnt want to go out with her, i think he was just taking his ventriloquist act way too far, and a 21 year old with a 16 year old is normal in japan, which is where the game was made, so they didnt think about it being too creepy

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...

Besides Acro's silly motivations (attempting to kill a 16 year old because she "didnt care enough"), the thing that really annoyed me about this case was how they explained Galactica's "flying". The series has its moments with leaps of logic, but a cape falling on a bust so that it perfectly rises into the air without falling off or becoming lopsided in any way? This just seems straight up impossible.

Acro has stated in his final confession that he doesn't understand how Regina thinks. He doesn't understand how she has absolutely no sense of guilt. This absolute lack of guilt (which he doesn't understand) is how she can take a note out of her own pocket adressed to a "murderer" and doesn't even consider it could be aimed at her. She understood after watching the trial, nobody sat down with her and talked about the accident because everyone was probably still grieving.

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.

yeah i kinda didnt rly wanna spend time answering questions i believe were obvious but you pretty much spoke my mind lol.
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".

i dont remember anything about a comatose kid and a paraplegic being attacked by a lion, almost killing them both. if you wanna talk about unrealistic, how about [2-4 spoilers] when they let an assassin testify in court through a walkie talkie and didnt backtrace the signal just because "they promised"

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. :aa_edgeworth: :aa_phoenix:
