Just dropping back in to say:
Dee Vasquez probably has my favourite breakdown on a purely subjective basis (objective goes to Dahlia if you were wondering).
Sure, there've been a handful of characters that take their defeat in stride like Damon Gant, but even he went down cackling like a madman.
All Dee Vasquez does is break her pipe and looks directly at the camera with a straight face afterwards. There's no theatrics or grandiose unravelling of a twisted soul there. She's a person who was forced to defend herself in a way that repeated a past trauma, and is now forced to accept what had happened now that her efforts to cover it up have proven fruitless.
And she does.
All there is to it, really. That's what makes it stand out in my head though, amongst all the other lunatics in PW:AA and the series as a whole. It feels... oddly grounded in a series full of larger-than-life characters.
And her entire deal with Hammer warrants that kind of subdued reaction, I think. She hardly did him any favours after his initial accident, though he went out of his way to frame a fellow actor for (what he intended to be) her death. There's plenty of guilt to lump on her shoulders, but of all the murders in the game it's certainly the most understandable, even if she did take actions that set Hammer up to spite her so much.
A quiet resignation was probably for the best given the circumstances.
So anyways Case 1:3 is good and I will NOT let you people forget that-

I’m rewatching the Game Grumps’ playthrough of “Ace Attorney” and I got to the part where Phoenix and Maya make the plan to accuse Wendy Oldbag of killing Jack Hammer. The reasoning is that they need to buy more time in order to take some of the heat off of their client.
Speaking as a law school student, I know the game is framing this as a “bad” move, especially since Oldbag is innocent, but that’s actually the smart move to make. Phoenix is defense, so what he should be doing is exploring alternate possibilities to how the crime went down. Prosecution has to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, so all Phoenix needs to do is raise doubt.
I’d say 70-80% of the lawyering in “Ace Attorney” is bullshit, but Phoenix targeting Oldbag is one of the few times where I felt that Phoenix was thinking like a real defense attorney.
Side note, one of my finals was playing defense in a mock trial. Me and my partner’s main strategy was targeting a different person than our client, similar to how Phoenix targeted Oldbag.

One thing ive loved as the ace attorney game progresses is how distraught and goofy and confused Edgeworth gets with each trial. He goes from 'the amounts of SHIT I CAN PULL FOR MY ASS FOR THIS TRIAL ARE INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO A PLEB SUCH AS U' to 'damn, my ass ain't that big .. uh'

[ID: an edited version of the Michael Jackson Updates meme, to be about Jack Hammer. The handle is @ JHUpdatess, and the profile picture and header is of Jack Hammer's mugshot, the latter of which is poorly cropped on his mouth. The bio reads: "Bringing you the latest updates on the king of Samurai Jack Hammer!"
The tweet underneath reads: "He still dead" End ID]
