Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Damon Gant - Press & Breakdown

[@kirbyvskirby]

To the people who haven't experience the for themselves: Gant's clapping as fast as the framerate pretty much allows.

[@rawr51919]

He could clap even faster if the game ran at 60 or even an unheard of 120fps. But the effect would be identical, so it wouldn't matter much.

[@hyper9984]

He claps even faster in the 3DS edition

[@Trilltendo64]

Hyper99 didn’t know that I wonder if the sames true for the Trilogy on PC I have the trilogy for iPhone but this case is damn near unsolvable in it because of the part where you have to pause the video and point out the contradiction and the vase part 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@littlewitchling535]

Put it on 2x lol

[@kaangamgimginnkagnagnkingmngkn]

I trained my eyes to decide it's either 30 FPS or 60 FPS, and it's 30 FPS... in the video. Or KZbin could tell if it's 60 FPS or not.

[@AlexThat200]

Von Karma's breakdown was satisfying. Gant's breakdown is just downright weird, yet entertaining.

[@gamingsource5343]

AlexThat200 gotta agree both trials felt like going through hell tbh

[@vttheary]

30 claps per second, damn.

[@Lego1upMushroom]

Damon’s feels just as satisfying because of the bullshit that it took to get there

[@Lego1upMushroom]

Psychedelic Moon it’s also satisfying cause the road to get to his breakdown takes forever

[@seansachs6105]

Yeah. With Von Karma, it was like: "F*ck yeah!! I got you now, you bastard!", but with Gant you almost laugh with him in a sense.

It was a long, fun ride to taking down Chief Gant. Absolutely cracked up at his breakdown.

[@gamersisland3253]

Still the best breakdown in the entire series. I absolutely love this scene Gant, knowing that he's completely been backed into a corner by the evidence, just lets out a massive, psychotic laugh, knowing that everything's all over and he can finally just let it out.

[@zad_rasera]

I've seen some interpretations that state that he's not sad nor mad when he got backed into a corner because he finally believed in justice again.

[@lilyhope432]

I think he was kinda proud of Phoenix and Edgeworth by the end, somewhere in there

@@lilyhope432 Yep. He was mad that he lost at first, but he couldn't help but be impressed by the fact that Wrighto and Edgey, these two children, managed to bring him down.

[@leoncoben6983]

I don't think he was an evil man to begin with. Just another cop that lost sight of the bigger picture. It must have weighted on his mind the horrible things he done to his once trusted parnter, friends, and allies. He even expresses how the once good man he was had been gone a long time and appreciated how the detectives he screwed over really did know how to do their jobs along with Phoenix and Miles' teamwork. His problem was that he forgot that he had the same kind of team and tried to go alone.

[@riocheng0205]

Damon Gant truly feels like a final boss, he has so much power to abuse it's almost like impossible to put him to jail until you have the decisive evidence that could bring him down. His breakdown animation though, it doesn't even look like him, he is a demon indeed (while Angel Starr on the other hand is a true angel who is innocent)

[@Seedonator]

with the amount of perjury that starr pulled in the 1st trial, you can hardly call her an angel

I think what makes Gant really interesting as a villain is that deep down he wants to be caught for his crimes, so he can see that true justice still exists.
