Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - Quercus Alba ~ The Enemy Who Surpasses the Law

[ZachariusStorkanus]

@screwattacked: of course you cant. Fluttershy is too cute to harm, therefore she is invincible.

[Nobodyknowsme021]

Why does this remind me of Toccata in d minor?

[SashuRui]

Quercus Alba is the one guy Redd White couldn't threaten. Alba could've come here, dealt with White, and prevented Mia from getting killed... as well as everything else. And then just waltz back to Cohdopia or whatever. Clearly a BASTARD of the highest order.

[TheDecepticondude]

I thought everything will end if I get Shih-Na AKA Calisto Yew to break down and confess. Imagine my shock when I met this guy.

[jupiter5005]

why in the hell didnt Ms.Von Karma whip his ass

[taloscal]

@jupiter5005

probably due to his diplomatic immunity (which as we all know he loves to abuse)

if she'd have whipped him it would have just caused more harm than good in the case

[jupiter5005]

@taloscal lol yeah i know

[rrruizzz]

Edgeworth: This proves that you killed the victim!

Alba: That isn't proof. Sorry, but I'm leaving!

Everyone: Oh no! he's going to get away!

Edgeworth: Nghooh! Is this really the end?

*some surprise "twist" happens at the last minute*

Edgeworth: Yes! This is my last chance! I better not screw it up!

*repeat all of the above 10 more fucking times*

[Chellythefox]

I hate him and i want to beat him badly... Lang should of beated him up

[Oreichalcos]

In terms of AA's post-Phoenix theme (Gant's case was made after the Phoenix trilogy was completed) of taking down those who surpass the law, Alba's the pinnacle. Even Investigations 2 doesn't have a better villain.

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

I CAN'T DEFEAT TREE MAN

[AverEye]

I think he was most resistant to admitting he killed Manny Cohen...

[reddokun]

Edgeworth: "This evidence proves you commited the murder!"

Alba: *Nope.avi*

Edgeworth: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" *loses health*

[gojirafan123]

Lang: Quercus Alba... you BASTARD!

Alba: Do not address me with such a filthy word ever again!

Me: C'mon, Lang just kick his ass!

[kefkaROX]

You know whose theme this should be?

Omar al-Bashir, President of Sudan. The ICC has accused him of genocide and crimes against humanity, after all.

[LouieDeNonno]

Smug bastard.

[pikachurulez]

God I HATED this guy, everytime I thought I was done he would make so bullshit comment about how he had this or that. I wished I could jump in the game and kill him. Finally when I got him and beat the game I was cheering so loud, I kept getting strange looks from the people around me.

[rankaratar]

I said "Finally! Now I've got you!" about 10 times during endgame fighting against this guy.

JUST SHUT UP AND CONFESS, OLD MAN!

[Imananimegod]

I cannot be sitting here dawdling with the likes of you people, listening to this well orchestrated piece of music.....I have a plane to catch...

[thesilversupporter]

the only thing i like about this guy is his ability to summon fireworks from his nose =D

[reaperofthedamned07]

Karen Strassman as Cammy.

Ezra Weisz as Edgeworth.

Micheal Bell as Mr Amano

and Alastar Duncan as Quercus Alba.

[Kyoun121232]

This sounds mighty.

[BlackBirdCage]

I just spoiled the ending of the last case for myself. *headdesk* Damn... and I was so close to the end, too.... Oh well! *goes and finishes game*

[KuraiKoyoyoyama]

@MrHatAndClogs1000 The whole point of this last case, they made it painfully obvious who murdered who as the name of the theme is. "The Enemy who SURPASSES" the law. Until the very end, they have you thinking he's getting away with it.

[MysticShadowdude]

One person didn't have extraterritorial rights.

[AFlockOfBeagulls]

QA: I... ummm... used the bathroom.

Me: Damn it this guy isnt even trying to come up with anything good!!

[WillBFugly]

BATHROOM EXCUSES FTW

[TehKJpot]

DAMMIT Quercus sonofabitch Alba! I can't even prove you went to a bathroom!

[Zman579]

"HAWBJECSHUN!"

Oh my God! I know that thick, gravelly voice. Alba isn't your real last name is it, Ambassador? Your real name is actually Ambassador Ackbar!

*cue Pursuit theme*

[sonicfan350]

@Zman579 its a trap!

[cloud314231]

This song...

it just eludes POWER and authority

[reaperofthedamned07]

Turian councillor + Quercus Alba = Infinite Denial.

Ah yes, "evidence". I'm not giving an explaiation. I'm just going to dismiss that claim.

[shmasmasnash2]

Edgeworth: Here is a video of you repeatedly stabbing the victim in the chest, followed by you looking into the camera and saying, "My name is Quercus Alba, and I am currently in the act of committing murder."

Alba: Look at the knife in the video. It's clearly made of stainless steel!

Edgeworth: (D-damn! He's right!)

[ClemmencyTiger]

Edgeworth: This evidence here clearly states your the killer Quercus Alba!

Alba: You call that evidence? Thats barely enough to call me the killer.

Edgeworth: Ok, well this piece right here even gives you a motive to kill the victim!

Alba: Just because that's a possibility, it all mindless ideas. You still have no proof I killed him.

Edgeworth: This proves that you were at the crime scene!

Alba: I happened to get lost on my way to the bathroom

Edgeworth: JUST F*CKIN ADMIT YOU KILLED HIM ALREADY!

[tifforo1]

EPIC SPOILERS The reason it took so long isn't that he took a long time to confess to each crime, but that there are SO MANY CRIMES you have to pin on him. Arson: not directly him Murder of Manny Coachen: him; you have to prove where Smuggling ringleader: him Statue swapper: him and another DeMasque II's employer: not him Murder of DeMasque II: him; you have to prove it's not self-defense Conterfeiting: not directly him Yatagarasu: not him Coachen body tampering: mostly not directly him

[tifforo1]

@tifforo1

I forgot one. KG-8: He was directly involved.

[sackboy024]

It's just been revoked.

[Wielder432]

ABBJECKSHON

[DaxterD1]

Edgeworth: Quercus Alba! The killer had to be you. All of this evidence is irrefutable, irreplaceable, and irresponsibly prepared!

Alba: .............................. nope.avi

[ccycrciclc]

Gant's stare may start a forest fire, but Alba's hand raise stops the very fabric of time.

[MegaRandomcrap123]

This guy reminded me of chief Gant. They were both, in a way, 'protected' from the courts. They also used their high ranks to hide their crimes.

[kefkaROX]

Reminds me of politicians.

[SethBreloom94]

@DaxterD1 scenarios like that are actually quite common in the games

Redd White: let's postpone the trail till tomorrow, cuz I lied about what I saw when placing a wiretap

Damon Gant: I'm late for lunch

Tigre: I have to catch a train

Kristoph: This isn't my case, I'm not testifying. I'm going back to jail

[LinkAndZelda58]

*case 5 spoiler*

"Alba! You BASTARD!!!"

[shalomantony]

@LinkAndZelda58 Alba: *raises hand* Silence!

Dont you ever address me with such a filthy word again.

I remember that perfectly xD

[Naverpace]

Edgey: You did it!

Alba: no

Edgey: yes you did, this picture shows you killing him.

Alba: that isnt me.

Edgey: oh really?

Alba : thats my twin brother

Edgey: preposterous!

Alba : do you have any evidence to prove that i dont have a twin?

Edgey: (damn!)

[CarrotShticks]

His whithering explosion pleased me.

[Seasune]

@MrHatAndClogs1000 Kristoph's defeat pose is awesome. In addition to being a psychotic murderer, he has the psychic ability to make lobsters fly and make wind blow upwards through his hair.

[mariox901]

More then a Objection it's a Alba-jection

[mariox901]

ALBa-JACK-SHAWN

[HUNK1997]

Damon Gant + Pinocchio = Quercus Alba

[smbzfan2]

@HUNK1997 LOL!

[Mobius14]

For some reason everytime I think Kim-Jung Il, I think of this..

[cutemeisterguy400]

Quercus Alba is also a play on the place Albuquerque.

Allebahst + Babahl = Ali Baba don'tcha think?

[sirilix1]

I always thought that Alba should have been given his own phrase, as opposed to just shouting OBJECTION!

I think something like SILENCE! would suit this guy way better given his nature and military background.

[KirbyCom]

No matter how I contradict his testimony, he just objects again...

[baconlabs]

MY EXTRATERRITORIAL RIGHTS ARE TOO POWERFUL TO LET THIS GAME END!!!!

(see also: Peachi)

[Kenbrick11]

Whats the black stuff on his face when he goes NOOOOOOOOO?

[raisamike3]

@Kenbrick11 Hes based on tengu who wear masks to block there face

[Noisemaze]

I'm on a media black out for AAI2, but I would not be the least bit surprised if the very first part of the game is Alba jumping up in your face out of nowhere and belittling you for thinking that it was going to be over at the end of the first game. Then the rest of the second game is one long cross examination of Alba during which he murders a small dog and steals candy from a toddler.

[ppinillas]

This dude is the bane of the existence of any ace attorney fan, he has all of the traits to drive you nuts:

-He is a bastard who pretends to be a saint (like Dalhia or Engarde)

-He has some bullshit gimmick of inmunity (like Gant)

-He runs a whole friggin crime organization and a shitload of henchmen to do his dirt (Remember Dee Vasquez?)

-He orchestrated most of the events of the previous cases (like Kristoph Gavin)

-He takes OVAH 9000!!! testimonies to take down

I hate him. period

[aquaclaw11]

@ppinillas dont forget he also uses the dreaded bathroom as an alibi

[RicardoLTOR]

@ppinillas um...what does Alba have to do with Kristoph? just asking, cuz i got kind of shocked when i read this :P Information I Totally knew nothing about...just asking btw, i'd like to know

[Beremor]

@RicardoLTOR He has nothing to do with the people ppinillas mentioned. He only compared their personalities and Modi Operandi.

[RicardoLTOR]

@Beremor ok ok, well he said He orchestrated most of the events of the previous cases (like Kristoph Gavin), so i thought he ahd something to do with that :P

[smartboy201]

@RicardoLTOR I think he meant "He (Like Kristoph Gavin in AA4)...".

But yeah, he wasn't stating examples of what he did, but more like examples of what others did in past titles, that could be compared to what Albus did in this game.

[RicardoLTOR]

@smartboy201 Get it, Thanks :D

[RicardoLTOR]

@ppinillas oh and also...vasquez worked for alba? O_o Where did you get all this info, i'd like to know everything!

[GoldenRubyFlame]

@ppinillas SO TRUE. Hes Dahlia, Gant, and Kristoph all mixed into one ARGHHHHHHH Headache D:

[SolMasterzzz]

@GoldenRubyFlame HAWBJECHSHUN!!! He's Dahlia, Gant, Kristoph, and a TREE all mixed into one ^^

[AverEye]

@ppinillas He is undoubtedly the most difficult "boss" to take down.

[Pikerchu13]

Quercus Alba and Dahlia Hawthorne are now rotting in hell together.

[PatoPatoEloElo]

Luke Atmey + Redd White + Damon Gant + Furio Tigre + Manfred Von Karma + Oldbag + Morgan Fey + Kristoph Gavin + Dahlia Hawthorne = Quercus Alba

[FEZeldalord12345]

@PatoPatoEloElo Dahlia makes all of the others look like angels in comparison.



[smbzfan2]

@FEZeldalord12345

She is more evil than Alba, but much less dangerous.

[saintsinna]

Lol, Quercus Alba is the scientific name for a tree, a white oak I believe...

Everytime he raises his hand, its like he's saying "bitch please!"

[cloud314231]

@saintsinna lol his beard looks like roots of a tree

[Greener221]

@cloud314231 that's part of the joke dude.

[MattEngardeX]

Truly fitting for an ace attorney boss, like myself I guess.

[ngicbaa]

I love the scenes who Alba transforms of the oldgrandfathers to the military men.

[ArtificialliHappii]

I really hated this guy. Lol he had like 34354678567546546 testimonies pissed me off ):< Lol but when i finished him i was laughing alot i was so happeh :')

[FourSwordz]

Edgeworth: This evidence proves a flaw in your testimony!

Alba: No it doesn't!!

*get double penalty...*

[skymin7]

Lang: "Quercus Alba... you BASTARD!"

[Shimarii]

I hated this part of the case so much because of this guy. The first part was okay, but I thought it would get no harder than Shih-na's testimonies. Boy, was I wrong.

[FEZeldalord12345]

@Shimarii I thought only his 2nd testimony was annoying. The 1st wasn't too hard and 3rd and 5th were easy.

[plrusek]

jesus christ this part of the game was fucking annoying

[fuzzyfurfriend220]

My God, I absolutely hated the last parts of this case. I swear, if I hear "circumstancial evidence" one more time from that bastard, I will let loose a scream of pure, unfiltered RAEG. That being said, you can almost guarantee that I will only play cases 1-4 after this.

[Nomadar]

A reinactment of me playing this scene:

Me: "Finally, I beat this shithead."

*dramatic music starts up again and he laughs*

Me: Fuck.

[reaperofthedamned07]

Shin Megami Tensei much?

[ThatGuyfromBrazil]

Alba: Well, I suppose I should be leaving...

Oldbag: You do that and I'll marry you!

Alba: OMG!!! I SURRENDER, TAKE ME AWAY, PLEASE!!!!!

[MadmanMatt421]

I could punch that guy in the face I hate him so much. Besides he gives politicians a bad name. Politicians never lie or murder to get into office... wait.

[DracoFlame67]

@MadmanMatt421 I don't think Alba murdered until AFTER he got into office.

[ezinhadinali]

He looks like Damon Gant if he was a war veteran and with a longer nose.

[ezinhadinali]

A WAR DOUCHE

[TOTtomdora]

HAWBJECSHUN!

[Reyson129]

I don't like the game a whole lot, but I love the music. I like how this intensifies at 0:48 =P

[TOTtomdora]

@MrHatAndClogs1000 Yeah... he burned, did a mini implosion, and lost his eyes and teeth.... not as epic, though xD

[MrLoxinator]

@MrHatAndClogs1000

Alba: You can't prove I'm Guilty because I was in the bathroom!

Edgeworth: How can I disprove such a good argument?!

Me: ...

[nitro836]

*Builds up enough rage to break his staff in half*

[Groudonmaster687]

Will they be able to surpass Alba with a bigger bastard on the sequel?

[NYhippie543]

STAB WOUND! HOTDOG BOX! HUBJECSHUN! (if you don't know, go find hiimdaisy pheonix wright comic dubs. you will never look at alba the same again)

[ball730178]

the whole atmosphere behind the "fight" was just too awesome for words...

Think about it...

You were trying to incriminate someone that no-one was able to catch for 10 f*cking years, and not to mention he was, as the title says, above the law.

Seeing him lose it in the end was almost unsatisfying, considering how much you had just fought for it. I wish they had shown us the trial, just to hear the classic, magic word: GUILTY!

[martinboy567]

@ball730178 yeah i agree.

[NYYankees4240]

"Your diplomatic immunity... has just been revoked!"

[NAPSTAR1285]

THIS CASE JUST WOULDN'T END!

[sonnarkku]

Damon Gant: Ace Rapist and it´s thrilling secuel, Quercus Alba: Ace Bastard Investigations

[sonnarkku]

Damon Gant: Ace Rapist and Quercus Alba: Ace Bastard Investigations

[Greener221]

lol you know you could make alba be mother brain from super metroid, and make his objection the rainbow beam attack, and his raise hand gesture his arm beam, and his pimp medal flash his 5 circle attack thing

[ROBLOXAkijojo]

Edgeworth: And that is why it could only be YOU, Quercus Alba!

Alba: No.

Edgeworth: D-Damn! I can't defeat that argument!

[smbzfan2]

@ROBLOXAkijojo

Actually, he DID defeat that argument.

That's how awesome Edgeworth is.

[spongepokemon]

@ROBLOXAkijojo That's why Phoenix needed to be in this game.

(Phoenix bursts in)

Phoenix: OBJECTION!

Alba:(Damn, I can't compete with that) O.K. I did IIIIITTTtttttt!!!!!!!.........­..

[Clone184]

@ROBLOXAkijojo Phoenix: Ae you sure you didn´t do it?

Abla: *sweats*

[drpopandfizz]

And we all thought Gant's mission was long and tough...

That was a cakewalk compared to Alba's... and they are so similar it's not even funny.

[HsIeNRaE]

" I would have gotten away too If it wasn't for you Meddling Prosecutors!"

[GlacHusky]

@HsIeNRaE And your stupid dog- I mean Wolf! Langy Rangy Roo!

[Ganonmustdie2]

I haven't seen anyone this tough since Damon Gant. My Ace Attorney game couldn't save, so it was 8 hours of pure nightmares. No breaks, making sure your game doesn't freeze when you sleep or even close the screen at all, and even keeping the DS charged. Thank you evidence law. Thank you.

[unsteddy]

OB-JEKT-SHUN! most annoying villian ever based on the fact that HE WOULD NOT DIE!!! SRSLY!! *nah, i went to the bathroom at that point* BULL-SUTING-FHIT!

[M30W3R]

OBJUESCSTION

*Nazi salute*

[M30W3R]

Quercus ga Taosenai (Quercus Will Not Die)

Somebody should make that song.

[rpgguy999]

1 people hate this: Ambassador Paleano.

[Zxblaze]

@rpgguy999 It could also be agent Lang

[Tavion2]

This kind of had a "End Boss" feeling tbh

[NotAGoodUsername360]

@Tavion2 "Your game is over now. You played well, and may even have set a new high score, but once the score is recorded, that same game can never be played again."

[LiamRomK]

Quercus Alba: Ace BASTARD

[PaperLucario2010]

i dont care how much you like this game, you cannot defend the end of case 5, it was dragged out far too long then it needed to be

[NotAGoodUsername360]

@PaperLucario2010 *puts on Defense Attorney's badge*

OBJECTION!!!

There, I defended it.

[PaperLucario2010]

@NotAGoodUsername360 lol didnt see that coming where is ur proof mr wright?

[NotAGoodUsername360]

@PaperLucario2010 (Hmm... should I present something to prove my point?)

-Present Evidence

-->Can't Right Now

I can't prove my point... because YOU have yet to mention at what scene the ending becomes dragged out!

[PaperLucario2010]

@NotAGoodUsername360 the part of case 5 i am talking about is when you go up against alba, he would not give up even though it was clear it was him as the killer

[NotAGoodUsername360]

@PaperLucario2010 Please amend your testimony!

[Ganonmustdie2]

@NotAGoodUsername360 Judge: How did I get here?

[BlackYoshiPunker]

@measmyself1

And Lang thinks your comment is overused. It's not even funny...

[TheShadowXChaos]

Quercus Alba ~ The Bastard Who Surpasses the Law

[ShinobiPhoenix]

And suddenly my blood boils, rage like only few games have brought out of me. Quercus Alba is the name of that rage and the blood of many is on his hands from it.

[pentherapy]

@ShinobiPhoenix Oh, I don't know, it's a close call, I think! Manfred Von Karma, Damon Gant, Matt Engarde, Dahlia Hawthorne, and now Quercus Alba. Difficult to say who's the most rage-inducing straight-up DOUCHEBAG out of all of those.

At least you got to *banish Dahlia's soul to hell*. But that prick Engarde, messing with Maya... Guilty is too good for him.

[KinngLion]

@pentherapy Don't forget Kristoph...

[kiteshugo2]

1. "I'm leaving."

2. "You're guilty and here's proof!"

3. "Oh. Well you can't prove that proof is proofy enough"

Repeat 1-3 about ten times.

[GrevadosAsCid]

@kiteshugo2 ...god, there aren't enough up votes in the world.

[RedSalamander]

@kiteshugo2 I know, right? Alba's a stubborn sunava, that's for sure. I think I drained the battery of my DS twice on this one case, and Alba's the main reason. "Seriously, dude! You are guilty! Stop trying to escape the truth so that this chapter stops giving us surprise evidence every 15 minutes!" That's kinda the gist of what I kept screaming.

Stubborn, crafty, hidden, ultimately untouchable, and holds OBJECTION!s. My favorite AA boss.

[KinngLion]

@RedSalamander Same for me!! I had to beat the game while the DS was charging. And I was tired of hearing "Hold it!" every time the bastard was trying to leave the building. At least it's over =)

[Kisarez]

@kiteshugo2 But really, most proof was circumstantial and nothing directly pinning him to the actual moment. Plus it added to the stress, this was one really tough villain.

Therefore, amazingly suiting music.

[Heartfout]

HAHAHAHA YOUR SKIN BLEW OFF MORON!

[grossguy1211]

HOBJEKSHUN!

[palkian90]

Alba: But wait, I couldn't have killed Coachen because I had to go to the toilet! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Edgeworth: ...seriously?

[animangamania]

Quercus is a much tougher version of the villain of Lethal Weapon 2.

[Greener221]

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMMENT?

IT HAD ABOUT 75 UP THUMBS AND ITS NOT ON THE LIST!!!

[ZayLong]

@Greener221 get over yourself and your thumbs up.

[Walterion]

@Greener221 Your Diplomatic comment has been REVOKED, Mr Alba.

[Greatbonzz]

This should be David Cameron's theme tune.

[Makirach]

@Greatbonzz

But David Cameron IS the law.

...does that make Clegg Edgeworth?

[Makirach]

Somehow I get the feeling that he and Gant went to boarding school together...

[entertainmentsteve]

Quercus Alba: Ace Bastard

[sightswiftlifter]

@entertainmentsteve I LOL'd so bad at your comment. XD

[NotAGoodUsername360]

@entertainmentsteve No, Atmey claimed copyright on that one. No, Alba is a Perfect Bastard.

[TheVecan]

Anyone remembers that show on mtv with the fat kid kid who told the pizza guy his mom was a coupon, just me okay...

[watershipdown14]

OBJECTATHON!

[misterizman]

I seriously started going GIVE UP, FUCKTARD. Whenever he yelled OBJECTION! This guy was harder to crack than Von Karma or Godot.

[PaperLucario2010]

Alba makes Manfred, Engarde, Dahila, Kristoph, and Gant look like the care bears when it comes to the final boss

[raCteJ]

@PaperLucario2010 Just goes to show how Edgeworth gained his reputation- if he can bring down someone like Alba... Man, he's good.

[CudlyPorcupine]

Bastard coated bastard with bastard filling!

[Kyaksa]

@CudlyPorcupine so damn true...
