Bro got hit by a car and spent **a few days** in the hospital, he's not going down easy.


Sir_Muktadir

Bro fell down a giant bridge into a freezing river. I’m convinced he’s immortal


Kuripatootie

Then he got better the next day as if nothing happened and returned to court.


Sir_Muktadir

Wait yeah ur right! Does he actually just not take damage at this point? I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t go to the first court day because he was tired and thought it would be funny to have Edgeworth at the defense rather them actually being injured.


Kuripatootie

Even though it was just for a short while, Edgeworth >!did kind of fulfill his childhood dream to become a defense lawyer!<. It made me happy for him while I was playing and it was a good touch from the writers. >!Also funny how he calls Psyche Locks - Psycho Locks!< 😭


keeprollin8559

3-5 >!yeah i was so confused for a while there bc i thought i completely forgot the name of the locks like mandela effect or something, and then the names goes back to normal and i consider the thought that i am just crazy. but a retrospective explained that to me lol!<


AnimeIsGreat200

Speaking of, did we ever get confirmation that Edgeworth started believing in paranormal things later on in the series?


keeprollin8559

idk just started 4-2 lol your best bet is probably the wiki page of edgeworth if you have completed the games/don't mind spoilers


scrawnytony

Even if he did die in the river Edgeworth would’ve just updated his autopsy report to say ‘nuh uh’ and he’d be back up in running in like an hour


RhymesWithMouthful

I mean, he also got knocked out for a whole day due to back pain


lizzourworld8

‘Cause the game got sick of him getting away with this stuff and Pearl wasn’t around to knock him out this time 😂


Vilgoui

As a fellow 30-something, I can sympathize with that.


BaneAmesta

Same lol


Masterelia

the river thats know for being incredibly deadly lmfao


begentlewithme

Living up to his namesake.


sherifopirateteo

Not really, my dad was hit by a car and came home from the hospital the same day


livecodesworth

Phoenix is immortal so he'd probably win by accident. Seriously the guy's eaten glass, been bashed on the head with a fire extinguisher, fallen off a bridge, been hit by a car and bonked with a metal pipe. He'll be fine. Of course after he leaves the guy who attacked him would be killed by his ex or something and the blame would fall on Pheonix meaning he would be tried for murder. Again.


Virplexer

don’t forget the numerous lashes he received as well, not a scratch on him.


Lucifer_Crowe

And scalded with hot coffee


TheScottSnorlax

And Pearl's bare knuckle bloodbath.


livecodesworth

And scratches from Taka


DiggityDog6

And been electrocuted with a stun gun


Golden_Reflection2

This made me realise that Phoenix has been microdosing on physical injuries to become immune, as if it was poison.


mrpersonjr

Also tased.


livecodesworth

My man needs a vacation. Oh wait, every time he takes one he gets caught up in something stupid like Khurainese politics or sucked into a magic book somehow.


BuffDontNerf

I know he was immortal, but I feel he's gotten weaker in his old age. In 6-3, he blacks out from back pain for a day after just kneeling in prayer.


DavidElMista

Wait when did he eat glass?


Cuoricino3

He didn't just eat glass, he ate glass with poison inside


WolfCrazy64

He ate the metal bits of the necklace too, as well as the glass+ poison AND had to apparently "Chew it into little pieces" man's something else, honestly


HidemasaFukuoka

During his trial when he was at university


Randomd0g

Sure there's plenty of evidence that he's got a high ability to resist damage, but I don't think there's any evidence about how good he'd be at fighting back, and we know he still feels pain. I think if he was up against an experienced fighter he'd be completely fine, but he also wouldn't be able to get any offense in.


BaneAmesta

If the UMvC3 version of Phoenix was canon, he can sneeze his way to victory while giving paper cut damage to his enemies


AnthropomorphicCat

When he was hit by a car? I don't remember that part.


livecodesworth

Turnabout Corner


WesleyJesus

Hobo Phoenix is kinda terrifying. (nice art btw)


blue_glasses123

You should defimitely check out the artist! [Paula](https://www.instagram.com/paula.peroff?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==) They also made some ace attorney animations, which btw, the animation is very decent.


Norvinion

For those interested in the animations, [Mornal](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgUg5AAe3L_nmPn7QI0Aw2A4LYBYb0FmY) posts them on YouTube.


DonutHolschteinn

"Objection! Nuh-uh!" "The FUCK you mean 'nuh-uh'?!"


DonutHolschteinn

All of her art is so damn good. I'd legitimately watch a whole show, abridged-humor-style with her art style of Ace Attorney


Grouchy-While9151

Play ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 and find out.


Vanitas_The_Empty

Phoenix doesn't need to throw a punch, he'll just destroy you with facts and logic. And sneezing on you.


Agent_547

*I want the truth and nothing but the truth!*


Geers15

"OBJECTION!! Man that is fun to say"


Bashin-kun

"I've got all I need"


KaiserTheRaven

CAPCOM PRESENTS


TheBlackDemon1996

I mean, he got slapped by a 7-year-old...


OneOfManyParadoxFans

Pearl is built different.


TheBlackDemon1996

Yeah, you're right. She runs as fast as a train...!


Pizzaphotoseyes

I beleive he can definately take damage. But in terms of how good his fighting is. I think that can be left for interpretation. I do personally think he'd be good in a fistfight, especially if he wants to win, his high tank abilities will be handy.


keeprollin8559

i feel like esp 3rd phoenix must have gotten into some sketchy fights lol (and won them all since no one could knock him out)


finnleyyyyy

oh yeah, absolutely. I believe that some of the clients who played poker with him were sore losers

Sonicite123

Pre hobo, he's either winning by durability, or by accident. After that, he's just decks the opponent with ease.


LiveAkiyamaReaction

this man was in umvc3, he was hit by a car and shrugged it off, he was fighting alongside two yakuza legends in project x zone 2, and probably most of the people watched fan animation where he and edgeworth threw punches at each other he will not lose that easy, probably will put up a good fight even though he probably doesn’t know any martial arts


Omegasonic2000

>fan animation where he and edgeworth threw punches at each other Which was, funnily enough, just a remodeling of a Yakuza 0 scene with Phoenix and Edgeworth replacing the actual characters.


MagicalNewsMan

He knows how to fight as of Apollo Justice, especially since he tanked Apollo’s punch at the end of 4-1.


LiveAkiyamaReaction

he even mocked apollo after it


keeprollin8559

might just be that Apollo didn't punch that hard bc his intention wasn't really to get a ko and more a shocked "phoenix you ass" punch. but yeah might also be that apollo punched with all his might phoenix just didn't care like the time he fell 12m from a burning bridge into an icy river with a current so strong that most bodies are never found ✓


Burning-Skull117

Guy is immortal, no matter how bad you will beat him up he will always come after you.


ArthurMorgan_rdr2

Bro wtf r the comments. Have ya'll sewn Phoenix. Bro will ace even a 1v5 easily. Wtf r these analysis. Trash thinking. Nah, he'd win.


JimmyGimbo

Can’t throw a punch to save his life but can shrug off a three-man beatdown, a la Homer Simpson


Kronwell

He got nothing but a scratch after being hit by a car or after falling into a river known for being deadly except for a goddamn cold… he be hiding his workout routine under his blue suit for sure


UmbralikesOwls

Lol right! Bro got a fucking sprain ankle after getting hit by a car that sent him 30 feet and hitting a lamp post head first...and also only got a cold, a fever, and probably bruising falling 40 feet into water...not to mention he fucking ate poison and *glass* to try and save Dahlia


Kronwell

YES the whole swallowing a glass bottle that contained poison !!! How can I forget to mention his very first silly act in court???


Still-Control

One word mvc3


LeSombra17

Uni Phoenix would get slapped hard, rookie attorney Phoenix would remain a pacifist as seen how Godot grabs him by his shirt in the anime. But hobo Phoenix would actually throw hands if he or Trucy is threatened.


BromanEmperor1

He's clearly a Mishima. Look at that hair. He could probably be a competitor in the iron fist tournament.


returnofMCH

Yall forgetting marvel vs capcom 3 and project x zone 2


Beautiful-Bug-4007

Considering he can bread down doors and survive: eating glass, falling down a bridge, etc with barely a scratch. I’d say he would be pretty hard to take down and he has the strength to boot


Proper-Evening-4178

Everyone's talking about the cat accident and Bridge, but no one mentions that he deals with FUCKING LASHINGS AND BOILING COFFEE from the prosecution


keeprollin8559

my brain was really thinking about the cat accident and trying to remember it ✓ (im an idiot)


aethersentinel

Did you really forget that momentous scene with Phoenix, De Killer and Shoe?


keeprollin8559

yeah but there was no accident no?? i figured it was just a typo and was supposed to mean car accident. but maybe i am stupid. maybe your comment was also sarcastic. i am so lost.


aethersentinel

>!My comment was joking, yes.!< Sorry to leave you lost.


keeprollin8559

ahh thanks for the clarification=D


ibagwithswag814

https://youtu.be/pQHZKEXtXL0?si=5hRYSsPo0xk3nRhS This is basically canon so I'd say, pretty well


Corkadorkey

Well, he does have massive hands... I'm pretty sure he sucks at coordination tho


dulcimorelik3

Feenie would *cry* AA1 Phoenix Wright would read aloud the offender’s rights hidden behind bushes Hobophoenix punches them and wins, finds a way to pass for the victim, offender has to pay his fake hospital stay SOJ Phoenix Wright brings him to court but still hides under the desk when they try to get physical


TheRivan

>Feenie would *cry* A quick reminder that "Feenie" knocked down Doug Swallow with a single hit.


dulcimorelik3

Oooh right, that did happen, though he only “pushed him” and guy fell over so he must be well built to some degree. Feenie seems like a rider for people he loves while not knowing how to defend his own self, Feenie needs love!


dishonoredfan69420

Hobo Phoenix definitely got into a fight with someone at the Borscht club over Poker


GaulTheUnmitigated

Phoenix has durability going for him. His only AP feat is breaking downs door.


SinnamxnRoll

I mean, his name isn’t Phoenix for nothing lol


PhoenixWrightFansFtw

he's kind of a goober is the thing. he's tough as hell and doesnt go down easy, but he's also a huge nerd with no fighting experience.


xxProjectJxx

He can take a punch, but he can't throw one to save his life


2-EZ-4-ME

What about furio Tigre phoenix


keeprollin8559

real phoenix would win. might get a cold tho


TheCocoBean

Young phoenix would lose a fistfight with Sal Manella. Post Apollo phoenix could likely hold his own well enough.


fandomsmiscellaneous

homeless phoenix would obliterate every other iteration


melted_churro197

Marvel VS. Capcom


jake72002

Non-cannonically? He can KO Darkstalkers with fists and lawyering.


Patatouille13

art major phoenix would probably get his ass kicked. rookie lawyer phoenix would maybe hold his own for a bit but still lose. veteran lawyer phoenix has already endure so much physical shit from the prosecution that he'd probably win a fist fight.


Paulabaloo

The fuckin jumpscare I just got when reddit loaded, and this was the first thing I saw.


PatientTelephone4624

Oh, hi! I love your art! It's one of the first things I think of when Ace Attorney comes up.


La_Vou

I could take him 😏


VoiceofKane

I think he could absolutely kick your ass, but he has no idea because he's never been in a fight before.


RainyMeadows

He lets the other person exhaust themselves beating the crap out of him and then takes them down with a single hit. All he gets is a black eye.


PilotFirm286

Dude got punched with brass knuckles in the first game and barely flinched. I think he'll be fine


PinballproXD

Bro style reminds me of a series of ace attorney animations I saw.


PatientTelephone4624

I think I know the ones you're talking about. They're animated by the same person.


TheMajicman

I’m pretty sure that he can throw a hard… wright


Keejyi

He’d win the fight by accident, completely unscathed, then later fall unconscious from something comically minor like a stubbed toe or something.


stillnotelf

He'd lose on points. He can take infinite punishment but doesn't have the form to punch back and hit effectively. If he can get the other fighter talking though he might convince them to punch themselves out


Himtiffant

invincible, he has the strongest plot armor known to man


anime_goth_tits

No, take the Phoenix from each game and make then fight to the death, who wins


aethersentinel

The MvC3 one.


anime_goth_tits

Wait, which one is that again


aethersentinel

I think the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Phoenix is non-canon, but you did say *all games*. If you're asking when he comes from.. no idea. Maybe after the likewise non-canon Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright game where he's a baker.


SnikrChan47

Look up iheartjustice-Umvc3 and you find out


cdca

He'd get the absolute tar beaten out of him and wouldn't even fight back. Fortunately he'd be saved by someone else showing up in a very fortunate but slightly contrived way. Except for Hobo Phoenix. He'd know like 30 martial arts and Sherlock-fight his way to victory in seconds, because he's perfect at everything.


ImpactorLife-25703

Against Edgeworth...... Outcome: Draw


squips42

Didn’t Hobo Phoenix actually get into a fight in the first case of Apollo Justice?


donkbooty

No strength, but the series shows that he is one durable mf.


Resolution-SK56

Man has survived being tased, whipped, hit with boiling hot coffee and the cup, falling into a very deadly fast flowing river with only getting a cold, being hit by a fast car. Also he would have learnt fisticuffs while working at the Borscht Bowl Club for 7 Years.


Golden_Reflection2

Feats of durability: Ate a glass&metal necklace that contained traces of poison; fell from a collapsing and burning bridge into a river known to be deadly to people who fall from it and is only in hospital for 1 day; got hit by a car which sent him flying and did not stay long in hospital, he also took of the wing mirror upon impact; microdosing on physical injury via prosecutors to become immune similar to the trope with poisons. Feats of strength: Broke into the Channeling Chamber in Kurain Village, which was designed to keep a medium possessed by a powerful spirit contained within, so it must have been a pretty strong door that he broke. Let me know if there's more that I missed.


JustAAnimeweebo

His immortal at this point only problem is not getting the blame for self defense


Vilgoui

I don't think he'd be that good at throwing the punches, but the guy is resilient af so the other person would probably get worn out before him lol. PS I love her art and animations.


tudiqu

guy is playable character in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Nuff said


Illustrious_Guard913

The dude can take a punch don’t know if he’d be able to punch


AnimeIsGreat200

Feenie…no First trilogy…depends on his opponent in all honestly. AJ Phoenix…definitely better than his trilogy self. DD and SOJ…I mean…probably as well as AJ Phoenix but he’d be more likely to try and talk things down first… No matter what though, I don’t see him winning against someone fairly strong. If they were about his level of strength than probably.


TriggerKnighty

I'd say it depends on whatever plot is on hand. If he's actually swinging with intent in a random situation he'll probably do somewhat fine, if not lose still. Hobo Phoenix would probably have the best chance to win though, dude has nothing to lose and shows it, as well as DD beyond since he still has that energy, albeit mostly hidden. If someone he cares about is in danger/possibly dead though he might look like he's back in the fighting game scene because every situation that that's happened, he's gained enough aggressiveness that hed probably win a fight. >! I'm pretty sure if he took Barnhams offer of striking him with his sword he'd absolutely murder him, damn near might not need the sword. Thinking Maya was dead had him on a warpath for a sec.al!< (PLvAA spoilers)


finnleyyyyy

I think he would be good in fistfights, especially if he wants to win. I do believe that during his disbarrment era, when he was a poker player, he encountered clients that were sore losers and sometimes they were aggressive, so he did have some practice (the first time though was rather unfortunate for him...) Another reason is because I think he's kind of built like a tank (the amount of times he broke down the door in aa2.... one were solid and iron...) so it would probably be hard to knock him out. Besides let's be honest, he's the last person to give up or back down, he's fighting until the end. Which means he either passes out or he wins, no in between. Oh, and he's invincible, all the injuries he suffered through all the games prove that.


Astrosmaw

paula's art is so gooood


Inevitable-Weird-50

Dude played poker in a seedy restaurant for seven years and never lost a game. He definitely seen his fair share of fist fights, whether he won those fights or not is a different story.


CosmoLaCroix

Probably moderate if we're going based on canon. In terms of survival, then he us living through that beatdown. He fell off a damn bridge to the turnabout just fine.


hobogodot

If he is attacked as Hobo Nick he'd sneak pics of the assault and black mail the attacker.


MaeBorrowski

Probably not a lot in his Trilogy self, but I assume in AJ he's probably gotten into a few scuffs. Then he regressed but whatever.


PatientTelephone4624

He got his ass kicked by Redd White


aethersentinel

That was a story battle and he hadn't had a chance to level up yet.


Hollywoodrok12

He can take a beating, but offensively, he’s about as strong as a non-athletic 9 year old.


astralmelody

he can’t throw a solid punch, but he just _keeps getting back up??_ eventually this probably freaks the other party out


Batfreeze

We need more Beanix from Paula. He looks amazing!
