#Ace Attorney in Graphs

How much Dialogue there is in Apollo Justice (in Graphs)

Made some graphs about the dialogue in AJ/AA4~

Total Dialogue by Episode

Total Dialogue by Character

(Character graphs broken out by episode and additional details below the cut)

Episode * Character

Overall, there's around 207,000 total words of dialogue in AA4, which is pretty much dead-on equivalent to AA2 (but unsurprisingly a good bit less than any of the 5-episode games--other than AA1, which only just barely edges it out).

Data source: I’m using a dataset that I put together pulling from the episode transcripts on the Ace Attorney wiki (which I did almost entirely via Python, but with a bit of manual cleanup). There’s bound to be some error resulting from that process, but the numbers should be pretty close.

Other graphs: I made similar graphs for the AA trilogy here (for dialogue by character) and here (for the dialogue by episode), and for the Investigations duology here

they should let me have polls cos id make polls that are fun exciting and enriching but also because if I did have polls id start a polling business where people can commission polls from me via submission in exchange for goods and or services

#id start poll capitalism. poll trading. wouldnt that be fun #also as the guy who once asked 1000 ace attorney fans their aa opinions and then put it into fun little graphs I feel like I deserve it #i would ask tumblrites the important questions!!! #cleb talky

im not following along closely to the election but im glad to see its going well?? :o

#my things #sorry im playing ace attorney and i dont understand the graphs 😸

[runby2]

would it be weird if i made a chronological timeline/conspiracy board kind of thing of all of your connected ace attorney au stuff for my own enjoyment because right now im kinda obsessed with it?.... like is that stalker-y?

cuz i don't wanna come off as stalker-y im just hyperfixating on ur stuff because its makes the little brainrot worms in my head dance and when they dance they give me the happy chemicals and i like making hyperspecific graphs/visuals for my special interests.

Sorry if this is worded weirdly or is just like weird in general im like that

omg it's totally not stalkery lol - i post my fanart online for people to enjoy, and you're free to enjoy it however you please. theorizing, fanfics, icons use, kinning, etc. im a firm believer that if my content is put online it's free to be interpreted and used however as long as it's credited to me in some way. it could just be a mild way too like a tag of our username or smth !! live joyously, and have fun!

character submissions breakdown

I received a total of 354 submissions (with eight submitted by yours truly, lol). after removing joke submissions and submissions for groups of characters (which I decided to disqualify because I’m unable to feasibly judge them all on a case-by-case basis), 346 valid submissions are left! 

a lot of these submissions are one-offs, characters that got just one submission. as a result, google sheets produces THIS monstrosity of a pie chart when you try to graph all 346 submissions:

once you trim out all one-off characters (manually <3), you get this chart, which is more representative of what the final bracket will be:

and I made one for the most commonly-submitted franchises/source media for characters with multiple submissions:

with that out of the way, it is an honor for me, patricide awards dot gov, to present this list of tumblr’s top daddy issues characters:

zuko, avatar: the last airbender (10 submissions) 🔥

zagreus, hades (2018) (8 submissions) 💀

dean winchester, supernatural (7 submissions) 👻

goro akechi, persona 5 (6 submissions)

gideon nav, the locked tomb (5 submissions)

jason todd, dc comics (5 submissions)

I’m cutting the list off at three submissions because, let’s be real, a character who got submissions from two big fans going up against 5+ submission contenders wouldn’t make a good bracket

The stitching is incredible, how did you get into it? How did you learn? Everything looks amazing and I’m in awe!

Thank you so much! I’ve actually been stitching on and off since I was 4/5 years old.

My mum was a professional cross stitcher for magazines when I was young and taught me with plastic canvas and thick needles. In my teens, I started finding patterns online like the Kirby one, and started making my own - very simple! - charts based on the chibi ace attorney sprites on graph paper.

I only picked it up as a consistent hobby in spring 2018 thanks to Octopath’s designs so thoroughly invading my brain that I just had to stitch them! I’ve made most of my improvements these last 6 years through creating charts and stitching or charting for at least a few hours every week.

If you’re looking to learn, I’d personally recommend Sirithre as they have some great tutorials and some free game inspired charts. Their Stardew cross stitch book is also a great beginner’s book and I believe there’s a bundle with some fabric, floss (thread) and needles to get help newcomers started as well. There are plenty of other resources online as well, and still (in the UK at least) a few cross stitch magazines and packs in most decent book/craft shops too.

Thank you for asking!

How much dialogue each character has in the AA Trilogy (in graphs)

I made some graphs showing the total amount of dialogue per character for the AA Trilogy

Graphs broken out by game and additional details below the cut

AA1/PWAA (including RftA):

AA1 excluding RftA:

AA2/JfA:

AA3/T&T:

Details:

Data source: I’m using a dataset that I put together pulling from the episode transcripts on the Ace Attorney wiki (which I did almost entirely via Python, but with a bit of manual cleanup).

Word counts: The word counts are based on all dialogue attributed to that character in the episode transcripts EXCEPT for dialogue that appears as a pop-up gif rather than text in the dialogue box (“Objection!”/”Take that!”/”Hold it!”). This includes all optional/skippable dialogue. The counts are split based on who the dialogue line is attributed to in the transcript, which means that characters with aliases have separate word counts for each name associated with them.

[ID copied from alt text: A Great Ace Attorney-related graph with a vertical and horizontal axis. There's a short high plateau, the end of which is labeled "speech contest," at which point it drops down to a very low flat line. The line is labeled "friendship." The end of this plateau is labeled "1-2," at which point the line starts to rise linearly. It almost reaches the level of the original plateau before it stops (this point is labeled "2-3") and drops down again exponentially until it is lower than the (already very low) plateau labeled "friendship." This period of decrease is labeled "2-4 & 5." End ID]

ID: a sprite of apollo justice from ace attorney, pointing to the right. there is a line going from top left to bottom left, and one going from bottom left to bottom right. they are made to look like a poorly drawn graph, showing only the word "friend" on the y axis and the word "boy" on the x axis. end ID

just remembered this apollo shape graph i made last year

it is kind of amazing, a lot of the most passionate ace attorney fans i see these days have gotten into it fairly recently, like after the series basically finished. the modern ace attorney fandom is largely a better one than what i saw back when the 3DS was the hot new thing.

maybe it's a different experience getting into the series now because the games are all out. i got into this series a decade ago when the original trilogy came out on the WII, so while i did have the entire DS era to appreciate, i had to experience dual destinies, spirit of justice, and the layton crossover as they came out, and they kind of had to stand as their own experiences. while the layton crossover came out in japan in 2012, we in the states had to wait another two years, after dual destinies came out.

and to me both of these games were like? fine? you know i had a fun time with them, and they're not bad mysteries, but they also didn't make me feel the way the original trilogy did. i played apollo justice back in 2012, then waited a year to find out its themes would get undermined in the next game. it took another three years for spirit of justice to come out and reveal that the series really is in a strange relationship with itself now. it gives us a new set of characters each game, a new game mechanic to enhance the trials and blur the mechanical focus the series once had, a new backstory for apollo justice instead of bothering to develop the plot threads that were established at this point 15 years ago.

(ugh) i don't mean to mean to be negative about the modern trilogy. it does have a lot of charm to it, and i'm actually more willing to defend spirit of justice than you might expect, but like. when you wait years for "pretty good, yeah" it starts to make you a bit jaded about the future of the series. i've chosen to believe that, since the last new game the series has gotten was in 2017, that there simply isn't a future. the series is done now, and i can make of that what i will.

but if you got into this series recently, you basically have the entire series to binge, and can do so as a full package. you get to see phoenix wright's growth over six games, his relationship with edgeworth, maya, the law as a whole, and you get to appreciate all the characters for what they are rather than anticipating what they could be. if you don't like the games, you can just play another one. or, hell, watch a longplay of it. it's probably a better experience because the trial design of JFA and T&T are fucked.

i'm excited for the future of the AA fandom, but i wonder what place i really have in it. i mean, i'm a game designer now, part of why i made those graphs was just to understand the mechanical design of the trials, what makes these things work or not work. but ace attorney is enjoyed as a story first and a video game second, and i can't bring myself to get passionate about the story anymore. these days i'm more often impressed by games than i am excited about them, and in general my mechanical analysis mind doesn't work well with the kind of fandom that is primarily about characters and relationships. i envy the modern ace attorney fandom.

at this point i've... i don't wanna "moved on," but it's more like "branched out." i've tried a lot of other mystery games! a few mobile ones, aviary attorney, ghost trick, her story, layton, socrates jones (which is fucking excellent by the way), and umineko, which is textually a game but not practically. i might try famicom detective club sometime? i dunno, i just like trying new things, because i love discovering ways that games can surprise me. maybe ace attorney 7 comes out and makes me reconsider all this. but, in the meantime, i'm glad to be here for what the ace attorney community has become

Dear Anonymous,

They do. I mean, they’re the ones that gave me a copy of Ms. April May’s testimony from my second trial.

They’re supposed to be located inside the red circle, but... 

yeah, you can’t see them. I suppose they’re too short to see from this angle. Either that or they’re invisible. Heck if I’d know.
