Phoenix Wright & Nova details from Seth Killian's demo

Posted by SFilp — October 13, 2011 at 6:29 p.m. PDT

Seth Killian jumped onto the Capcom-Unity stream today during New York Comic-Con and gave everyone a pretty detailed demo of Phoenix Wright and Nova.

There is a lot of information on Phoenix Wright and some for Nova here.

Hit the jump to see a full transcript of what was said.

Phoenix Wright

Assists
A - Paperwork - Direct - Front
B - Press the Witness - Direct - Front
Y - Get 'em Missile! - Shot - Front (hit's low)

• Three different modes.

• Investigative Mode, Courtroom Mode and Turnabout Mode.

• Investigative and Courtoom Mode's can be switched between by press Down, Down+S

• Turnabout Mode can only be activated with the correct evidence and from Courtoom Mode.

Investigative Mode

• Only has one special move during this mode, he will bring out Maya to help.

L - Maya puts up a deflector.
M - Maya slides hits low and OTGs.
H - Maya does same slide as M, but slides for a bit longer.

• Cannot call Maya out while she's already out, if you do Phoenix Wright will slip and fall (same properties work with the super)

• Find evidence by pressing S+A.

• If you've collective correct evidence it will light up, if wrong it will stay dark.

• Throw evidence by press S+A again.

• When looking for evidence you can find meat, it will heal Phoenix Wright.

• There are around 15 different pieces of evidence currently.

• Can gather evidence in under 1 second if you're lucky.

Courtroom Mode

• Gives a different set of specials.

• Pressing S+A will create a projectile based on your evidence for that button, all of the evidence has different properties.

• Can do a "Hold It" move and it will randomly stun the opponent.

• If you land an H (Objection) while in this mode and you have the correct evidence you will then powerup into the turnabout mode.

• If you have wrong evidence when you do an objection, you will turn purple and start to sweat, i.e. be stunned for a little bit.

Turnabout Mode

• You have a time limit in this mode.

• Every normal produces a giant finger hitting 3/4 the screen.

• If a jumping finger hits it will cause ground bounce.

• Using the level 3 will use all your evidence so you'll be reverted back to investigative mode.

• The timer for this mode will not deplete while tagged out.

Hyper (Super) Moves

• Maya's hyper can be used in both Investigative and Courtroom mode.

• Judge Gavel hyper can be used only in Courtroom mode also OTGs.

• Level 3 hyper can only be used in Turnabout mode, hits basically entire screen and will OTG. Doing 600,000 points of unscaled damage.

Normals & Throws

• Every normal has a ridiculous amount of animation.

• Launcher has about 48 frames of animation.

• Short dash.

• Forward + M will do a buttslam that's an overhead, can cancel with other normals.

• Can combo by himself after throw in corner without OTG.

• Midscreen he can call Maya to OTG, with assist can continue combo.

Nova

Assists
A - Gravimetric Pulse- front - Shot
B - Centurion Rush - Down forward - direct
Y - Nova Strike - front - direct

• S+A will launch a lance into the air that tracks pretty well.

• One of his gravimetric pulse special's will create an "Aegis Reflector" type of shield.

• 8 way air dash that can be cancelled at anytime with any moves.

• Jumping S can generate a lot of hits and a lot of hit stun scaling.

• Centurion art attacks (unsure which buttons do which)
basic low hit that OTGs.
will wall bounce.
will crumple.
one that will launch.
does a dive kick type of motion, doesn't need to be blocked high.

• Can OTG with air Centurion Rush.

Hyper (Super) Moves

• Beam and ball of fire hypers use his red life to do extra damage, there are 3 different stages of this.

WARGROUND_COOK said on October 13, 2011 at 6:34 p.m.

phoenix wright looking too good , my team will be phoenix wright for super skrull , hawkeye for taskmaster and rocket racoon for spencer of course i'll always have my old teaM

WARGROUND_COOK said on October 13, 2011 at 6:37 p.m.

LOOKS LIKE THEY MADE WRIGHT PRETTY GOOD BUT MADE HIM GIMMICKY BY USING EVIDENCE " COLLECTING " TO MAKE HIM A BIT RANDOM ..... I THINK HE MIGHT BE TOURNY WORTHY FOR SURE

FootFootFootFootDive said on October 13, 2011 at 6:37 p.m.

Wright's going to be tough to get used to.

Nova looks like he'd make a really good anchor; doesn't seem to need assists.

Nice stuff.

Brianguyanddude said on October 13, 2011 at 6:38 p.m.

Phoenix Wright seems super complicated to play but if played right he could do MASSIVE damage

NyuBomber said on October 13, 2011 at 6:39 p.m.

*Reads Phoenix Wright breakdown*

*Goes googly eyed*

AlanJLS said on October 13, 2011 at 6:40 p.m.

Phoenix Wright is tooo overpowerd AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't take it!!!!!!!

AlanJLS said on October 13, 2011 at 6:41 p.m.

My gimmick team is going to be Chris, Frank and Phoenix as back up lmao. Nova a definite pick up on day 1 :)

SsjBizzle said on October 13, 2011 at 6:41 p.m.

Hm PH is more interesting I thought nice. Nova isn't as generic as I thought either (Listening to the interview tho)

xShonuffx said on October 13, 2011 at 6:42 p.m.

600,000 of unscaled damage!?!

DAT OBJECTION!

I'm really loving Nova. PW looks like a gimmicky but fun character.

J said on October 13, 2011 at 6:44 p.m.

Wright overpowered? He needs to get lucky and find the right evidence to do real damage.

#13

50Sent said on October 13, 2011 at 6:49 p.m.

"hit's low"? Really?

#14

okay said on October 13, 2011 at 6:52 p.m.

So Phoenix Wright has to set up the evidence and change modes, while avoiding death due to his low health, in order to land that level 3 hyper. =/

#15

Eckin said on October 13, 2011 at 6:53 p.m.

Nick is a mini-game all by himself.

#16

umegames said on October 13, 2011 at 6:54 p.m.

Wright is gimmicky, but i for sure will learn how to use him, how can i not

arthur + viewtiful joe + PW = my new low tier team

#19

Cous said on October 13, 2011 at 7:02 p.m.

It'd be great to see people change the tide of battle with Nick's Turnabout mode. Would be a true comeback.

#20

Ironmonk said on October 13, 2011 at 7:02 p.m.

The modes for Phoenix Wright makes him even harder to use. He's kind of a technical Dan character.

#21

Dafamx said on October 13, 2011 at 7:05 p.m.

Ah, Wright you make me proud, lets show em how its done, no objections.

#22

MightyAfro said on October 13, 2011 at 7:05 p.m.

oh man... I knew he was gonna be tough to play.. I'm terrible with technical characters... I'll be spending a ton of time in Practice mode...

#23

kingofthesharks said on October 13, 2011 at 7:05 p.m.

lovin PW but not sure about the HOLD IT move being random. Stunning people in this game could be the difference between win or lose and I'd rather not let randomness make that decision.
I'd rather it just do a stun 100% of the time while balancing it out by worsening recovery or range or something like that.

#24

Turn_The_Beat_Back said on October 13, 2011 at 7:11 p.m.

i cant wait to try out Nova...not to sure of PW though.

WillHadoForFood said on October 13, 2011 at 7:15 p.m.

Thanks! Happened to miss this part of the stream and have been asking for this info. Again, much appreciated. Wright seems intriguing. Hopefully the evidence search function is truly random 'cus if not and it can be exploited you know it will be.

#27

superray21 said on October 13, 2011 at 7:20 p.m.

Phoenix Wright sounds awesome! Can't wait to try him out!

#28

BlakTheGreat said on October 13, 2011 at 7:25 p.m.

I hope Combofiend picks Wright up. Show all the haters the power of law with Shulkie and Wrighto

Hah! And you thought Mr. Wright was a Dan-like character... >.>

"Take That!" - Phoenix Wright

"Y - Get 'em Missile! - Shot - Front (hit's low)"

Oh man, I thought it was Missle from Ghost Trick. I had forgotten about that evidence dog.

That would have been a cool cameo.

He is to a degree, it's just that he does a lot of damage.

Ninjanuity said on October 13, 2011 at 7:49 p.m.

Wow, I never would've expected Phoenix Wright to have the most powerful Lv. 3 hyper in the game. Then again, with all that evidence collecting, why shouldn't it be?

#34

Getdownbrown83 said on October 13, 2011 at 7:50 p.m.

Now the only question is can he live long enough for all this to go down I really want to say yes but he ain't gonna be able to live that long nova is on my team and rocket raccoon I dint care how he plays if groot is in his level 3 I'm goon shart myself

#35

InitialR said on October 13, 2011 at 7:54 p.m.

Maya is able to provide a barrier for him for a short period of time. Give him the right assist like Dante's corridor assist or another anti-air assist and i'm pretty sure he'll have enough time to collect atleast one bit of evidence everytime he does that.

#36

Myztek said on October 13, 2011 at 7:57 p.m.

Looks like there's a new Phoenix on the horizon.

#37

Hotdiddykong said on October 13, 2011 at 8:01 p.m.

So technically, Wright is hard to master but worth it, My kind of guy! Better than being OP, I was hoping he wont be easy to use and thats what he is, NICE!

S+A will launch a lance into the arrow that tracks pretty well

Pretty sure it should say air not arrow right?

Also courtroom has an r before the two o's which is missing.

Good post though, wright looks too ridiculous to be getting a 600k hyper IMO .

DarkPhoenixRises said on October 13, 2011 at 8:28 p.m.

LMAO DAMN....Phoenix Wright looking like chinese arithmetic 0_0

yes it was air sorry about that, thanks for the comment.

SmokeRulz said on October 13, 2011 at 8:43 p.m.

I was pondering Phoenix at work today, and I just KNEW his Level 3 would do ridiculous damage, because of the amount of effort it took to gain access to it. I didn't even realize it was possible to find bad evidence, as well. I even thought up the 600k damage figure!

I AM PSYCHIC

AND WRIGHT IS AWESOME

Getdownbrown83 said on October 13, 2011 at 8:44 p.m.

Even the way nova stands looks bada**

NEWkidCJ said on October 13, 2011 at 9:03 p.m.

TEAM S.I.N
Spenser, Iron Man, and Nova.
I already have dozens of resets going on in my head for that team.

#45

ChunLi said on October 13, 2011 at 9:36 p.m.

"• Every normal produces a giant finger hitting 3/4 the screen."

Um, I believe only H makes the Finger of Doom come out.
Please look at footage, Nick is able to do different attacks and the Finger only comes out when it looks like he presses Heavy.

#46

xBMxSage said on October 13, 2011 at 10:23 p.m.

This pretty much explains the earlier post with Seth tweeting him doing 1.2 mil with PW with 4 meters. 600,000 points of unscaled damage for his level 3? Granted he is in a powered up mode but that's the only way to use it. It's probably the most powerful hyper in the game and it even hits OTG.

#47

Retroqqq said on October 13, 2011 at 11:29 p.m.

Nova is the best top tier character.

Simple, straightforward not complicated.

Perfect example of the KISS principle.

#48

KiD_LupE said on October 14, 2011 at 12:22 a.m.

Nick is different enough to make me want to try him out, but for my playstyle... Nova looks Awesome enough to MAIN! Been excited about using him since day 1 even tho I knew nothing about him. Glad Capcom didnt disappoint. so many team combinations running through my head.... hurry up November!!

#49

DeathQuote44 said on October 14, 2011 at 12:29 a.m.

Goodbye Arthur! I'll remember you!

My, what a nice midget but I guess I'll have to move on... *sighs* If only he had a dash... Oh hey there's someone up ahead, I'll introduce myself.

Hi, what's your name...? Pheonix Wright huh? Would you like to join my team...? Huh? "Pick a number kid"?
*looks at massive line of people waiting*
....oh. *takes number* Mmmkay! God, this better be worth the wait!

#50

Stitchking said on October 14, 2011 at 1:45 a.m.

I won't be touching Phoenix. All those different quirks are too confusing.

#51

DynaDASH said on October 14, 2011 at 4:37 a.m.

I'm digging that Captain Falcon guy.
And I stand strong with my opinion, I really dislike Phoenix Wright and this is the kind of stuff I was expecting to see.
No offense on the fans, I just really, really, really dislike the character, my eyes and ears can't stand him.

Let's see how Rocket Raccoon does, I bet he'll be getting the hate instead of the random lawyer who fights mutants, because no raccoon character or anthro should be allowed in a serious real fighting game.

Oh well, I respect their wishes and I'm still buying this game day one. Who knows... maybe, in the worst of ironies, I'll end up using Phoenix Wright.

#52

NyuBomber said on October 14, 2011 at 5:16 a.m.

I feel personally challenged to learn Wright out of morbid curiosity. I am neutral towards his inclusion, but I think he turned out hilarious in execution and potentially very rewarding to learn.

#53

EdgeWilder said on October 14, 2011 at 8:30 a.m.

@52
and when exactly has the mvc3 been a "real and serious fighting game" u might be thinking more along of virtually fighter >_> like capcom has always had unique characters reping there side of the fighting roster.. i would seriously hate to see Umvc3 turn into a bunch of people who just punch or slash with swords and shot a beam special.. if u want that kind of fighting game that sticks with the s.q may i suggest soul caliber or tekken?

i personally like the inclusion of PW cause he refreshing and different his hyper combos remind me of the good ol mvc2 days where there hyper combos were more so over the top then UMVC3
and as for the Nova guy.. he's also looking pretty good hyper combos are bit of a copy paste.. but am liking the whole baraouq thing he got going on there

#54

YoshinatorZ said on October 14, 2011 at 2:59 p.m.

Damn it Wright, this is why you needed to be revealed last!! You're too amazing! I love this guy, he is so crazy, one of the most unique characters to ever be introduced.

#55

DynaDASH said on October 14, 2011 at 5 p.m.

You got me out of context, EdgeWilder. I did not mean it that way as in "real and serious", maybe you thought I was saying "Realistic", which is -not- the case, any game with air jumps aren't realistic.
