Board 8 > Think of a video game protagonist and then a video game antagonist...

(+) Yeah! (+)

You've been accused of murder.

The protagonist is the prosecutor, and the antagonist is your defense attorney.

How confident are you of your chances to be acquitted?

Kirby is the prosecutor and Louis Guiabern is my defense attorney? I'm getting not guilty before the trial even begins

Im dead

Protagonist: Sora
Antagonist: Bowser

Me: strapped in electric chair
Sora: THUNDER!

Prosecution: Zagreus
Defense: Dracula

Tbh this is gonna be a shit show but I think I have decent odds.

Prosecution:Travis Touchdown
Defense: Liquid Snake

I think I'll be fine

Protagonist: Serra from Fire Emblem
Antagonist: Vergil from Devil May Cry

Uh yeah I think I'll be fine. Vergil will soundly defeat her and then she'll throw a tantrum about it

Solid Snake vs. Willard from Tomb Raider 3

Snake has like a 180 IQ and the other guy is a lunatic so I'm probably screwed? I guess he's no idiot, but... yeah. Loon

Cream the Rabbit and Persona 2's Nyarlathotep.

So a charismatic manipulator with millenia of experience who specializes in propaganda against a kindergartner bunny? Only problem is if Nyar decides intentionally getting me executed is more amusing than winning the case.

Protagonist: Lumine (Genshin Impact)
Antagonist: Nagito

I'm probably cooked. Nagito will expect me to defend myself, and Lumine has actually served as an attorney for two court cases, which she implausibly managed to win.

Now, if it had been the other way around, we'd have a much more entertaining affair, because Nagito would be forcing Lumine and I to defend against the circumstances.

Protagonist: Tidus
Antagonist: Ganondorf

Tidus will probably break some court rules and get himself thrown out while Ganondorf just sits there laughing, so I like my odds

Kratos prosecutor
Roadhog public defender

Roadhog isn't doing anything resembling helping me, my only hope is that one or both of them kill the judge before I'm sentenced

Protagonist: Adol
Antagonist: Ganondorf

I'm probably screwed. Only hope is if this is another one of Adol's grand adventures and my false murder charge is part of a larger scheme that Adol eventually uncovers and I can eventually join his gang. I should also note that I have never played a full Zelda game and dislike it due to its massive popularity, so I'm annoyed that that is the first antagonist to pop into my head.

If the courtroom survives, Jeb Kerman ain't convincing nobody. And while Sirrus and Achenar are obviously evil, that's not necessarily a disadvantage for a lawyer

Protagonist: Nate (Pokemon BW2)
Antagonist: Calvaros (GrimGrimoire)

Difficult to say how much sway a league champion with a thriving acting career can actually have in court. Feels like it'd be pretty high profile just because of his presence in a way. But then throwing in Calvaros is just... Yeah. I dunno. He's, uh, a ghost for one thing, so that already makes things a bit awkward. But also strong enough for the protagonist to have to spend thousands of years in a time loop to match his strength and prevent the inevitable mass genocide of (the world's strongest) mages he causes with his broken magic (and legions of summons, since it is a rts lol). So I think just on a power scaling level at least, even if Nate rolls in with a full team of boxart legendaries, Calvaros would probably still win convincingly. So I guess it just boils down to whether or not Calvaros just drains the souls of everyone in the courtroom lol

Oh well THIS is hilarious.

Prosecutor - Shantae
Defense Attorney - Manfred von Karma

That's like a fucking paradox. But given the choice he would value his perfect record over mercilessly throwing innocent people in prison. We win.

Protagonist: Nathan Drake
Antagonist: Bowser

Probably not good for me

Protagonist: Kiddy Kong
Antagonist: Albert Wesker

... Debating whether pleading guilty of murder is better than being indebted to Wesker.

Went with two of the more recent games Ive played.
Prosecutor: Shadow the Hedgehog
Defense: The Seven Heroes (Romancing SaGa 2)
Putting aside the fact that I probably shouldnt have picked an entire group of antagonists, Rocbouquet alone wins me the case unless the judge and entire jury are female and Shadow is immune to charm effects, Temptation is a guaranteed success on male targets and this isnt just a gameplay thing since shes charmed all the men of Eirunep. Assuming they have to do things fairly without magical manipulation then as the strategist of the group Bokhohn is the best one to lead the case, while Dantarg needs to be kept far away from the courtroom for fear of him requesting we settle this through a trial by combat.

Protagonist: Makoto Naegi
Antagonist: Dr. Neo Cortex

I'm fucked.

Prosecutor: Banjo
My Lawyer: Dr. Nefarious

Dr. Nefarious at least seems eloquent, and can probably pull some fast ones over the judge. It probably depends on whether or not I can have Lawrence on my defense team as well, like he plays the role of Maya Fey in this situation. If so, I'm super good. Banjo doesn't seem like he'd be very quick on the draw in a court case situation.

Squall vs. Revolver Ocelot

I'm sure Ocelot can pull some strings to make sure I get off the hook

Although I'd expect Squall to know his stuff inside and out

Commander Shepard is prosecuting and Vaas Montenegro is my defense attorney.

I don't...I guess I'm pleading insanity?

Shepard is about as bad of a draw as you can get here because he's absolutely charming/intimidating the jury into convicting you

Protagonist: Alain (Unicorn Overlord)
Antagonist: Reapers (Mass Effect) ...I guess Sovereign because I was thinking generally and I think he was the first specific Reaper I thought of.

...So, like, if Sovereign actually does his job I like my chances. But if he isn't bound to by the rules of the topic then I'm probably screwed because he'll just instead start monologuing about how we will cease to exist because he demands it, get thrown out of the court (and claim it was his idea that this exchange is over), and probably poison the jury against me regardless of how Alain does.

Protagonist: Caelus (Honkai Star Rail)
antagonist: Ganondorf

im pretty fucked

Squall is the prosecutor. Ultimecia is the defense.

I don't remember much about FF8, but Ultimecia can control people (I think?), so I guess she would just control the judge to secure the verdict!

A pretty good mix so far.

I was already pretty curious who would be the first to tihnk of an AA character but having Manfred as your defense is sure quite interesting.
