Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All Hints

How do I figure out the right statement to contradict?

  • 1 of 3: It may not be possible to contradict the witness before you Press the witness on the correct statement(s).  In some cases, it's impossible to contradict the witness; in those cases, you MUST Press every statement.
  • 2 of 3: Usually, the right statement to contradict is the most specific statement.  You can't contradict opinion-based statements like "I thought that was strange"; a "factual" statement, such as "I was eating dinner at 7:00," is much easier to contradict.  Note that two statements next to each other might say roughly the same thing, but only one of them mentions a specific detail.  For example, one statement might be "I went to eat dinner shortly afterwards," and the next statement might be "I was eating dinner at 7:00."  In that case, you'd almost certainly want to try contradicting the latter statement.
  • 3 of 3: Finally, when you press on the right statement, the game may give you a hint that there's something wrong with that statement.  You'll often see remarks highlighted in red; that's a big hint to focus on the statement.
