Phoenix Wright is a better lawyer than Miles Edgeworth

http://www.youtube.com... RE: "Firstly, Edgeworth went on his travels AFTER the first game concluded [http://en.wikipedia.org......], when he lost his winning streak to Phoenix and realised Prosecutors and Defence Attorneys need to work together to discover the truth." OBJECTION! This has no bearing on the current case, ladies and gentleman. We're discussing who is the better lawyer. Naturally, such a discussion encompasses all the games. Furthermore, a quick read of the script here shall reveal the circumstances under which Phoenix "won" against Edgeworth: http://www.gamefaqs.com... That's right; it wasn't Phoenix who saved the day. Rather, it was Mia Fey (Phoenix's mentor) for bringing up evidence which she possessed. If she hadn't shown up when she did, Phoenix would have surely suffered a crushing defeat. One must also note that in their second case against one another, Edgeworth actually HELPED Phoenix by cross examining his own witness (who Phoenix couldn't get to crack). Thus, one can argue that Phoenix has never TRULY beaten Edgeworth. RE: "Secondly, it is crucial to note Edgeworth lost his first case to Phoenix Wright. Phoenix has never lost to Edgeworth. If this is the case, using worked examples, Phoenix is a better Lawyer than Edgeworth." On the contrary. Phoenix lost to Edgeworth in the canon ending of the game Justice For All: http://en.wikipedia.org... Not to mention that the second vid indicates that Edgeworth could have beaten Phoenix and ended the trial at any time, but chose not to merely so that the whole truth behind the case could come out. Phoenix himself acknowledges this in 3:15 - 3:33 RE: "His unwillingness to end the trial once he can win shows a weakness in him - He has to be totally 100% right, even when he has essentially won. This led to his defeat at the hands of Phoenix Wright." Huh? Phoenix LOST that case. See third vid. If anything, CON has established that Phoenix is even weaker, if we are to agree to his reasoning. http://www.youtube.com... RE: "Phoenix Wright has also beaten Von Karma" ME: http://i153.photobucket.com... Edgeworth winning is indeed more impressive at it was his FIRST time going about it from the position of a defense lawyer. RE: " I would like my opponent to point out any major differences in Prosecutors and Defence attorneys. They essentially have to attack and defend using logic. Yes, just as both a wrestler and a boxer are essentially both attempting to physically overwhelm their opponents in a relatively small ring. In spite of what my opponent says, the fact of the matter is that the two jobs are fundamentally different as both have a different goals (getting someone declared innocent/guilty) and require successful testing in order to gain different badges in receiving either title. If both jobs were in fact identical in the Phoenix Wright universe, there'd be no reason to pass different tests needed to gain a defense lawyer badge or a prosecutor badge or the two careers would not be as separated from one another. Clearly, different skills are required to be considered professional at getting an acquittal or a guilty verdict. RE: 3) As you have stated, Edgeworth is knowledgeable in varying legal systems, so it wouldn't be hard for him to adapt from the position of Defence attorney to prosecutor Perhaps, but that's a non-issue. It doesn't matter where he got these different skills; the fact of the matter is that he has them, hence reason to consider him as being a better lawyer than Mr. Wright.
