"Almost Christmas Means It Wasn't Christmas" - Why It's Great (Ace Attorney)

"Almost Christmas Means It Wasn't Christmas" is a now-legendary once-a-year meme. But what makes that scene so memorable? Turnabout Goodbyes is definitely the toughest trial Phoenix Wright ever has to go through. And maybe even for the player too. Not difficulty-wise, but it’s the only time you lose. See, just before the scene I just showed, we lost. Miles Edgeworth was declared guilty. 2 or so hours, goes straight down the toilet. The only other time you lose really is when you want to lose. Here there is no precedent. It comes out of nowhere. But why does this scene work so well?
