Phoenix Wright was a mystery to most people when he was announced. No one understood why he would be in a fighting game and everyone was unsure about how he would fit in. It is now obvious that the general public was right to worry. The dude doesn't seem to fit in well with the roster, at least thematically. That's kind of a big deal for someone like me. Of course we'll have to wait to pass judgement on him until we've actually played the game, but from the looks of things, I'll just go "ugh" every time I have to go up against him.
Wright has a lot of confusing moves, from what I can see and plays a mean keep-away game. Guess we should wait until the pros give their analysis of him.
What I love about Nova is that he plays exactly how I predicted he'd play. Lots of zooming moves, thrusting him from point to point. Well, he is known as the human rocket, right? The energy lance is a bonus but a a very welcome one. His supers are exactly the supers I would've put in there had I been a designer of the game, except for maybe one. Seems like he doesn't have a Level 3 Hyper Combo. I would've given him one where he flies into space and smashes into his opponent, causing major damage. I'm excited to play Nova with Iron Man.
Here's some gameplay.
