Talk:Breakdown

OK. I know I put up a cleanup tag a long time ago, so I might as well make known a few complaints I have. The main one is getting down what exactly a breakdown is. I mean, we have the super-dramatic breakdowns of criminals, but a few people have added less dramatic animations of other people. capefeather 22:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * This page has annoyed me for a while. I think that a good chunk of the entries on the page should be classified as "damage" animations instead of "breakdown" animations. Damage would be when the character is shocked (or something similar) and happens multiple times. Whereas breakdown should be thought of as like a mental breakdown and only happens once. I'll add "one-off" to the description, muck about a bit, and see what happens... Strabo412 22:32, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Damn. This is going to be harder than I thought. Although most of the villains have a specific one-off breakdown animation (some even having two......I'm looking at you Damon Gant) there are a couple that have what I would define as a "breakdown animation", but use it more than once (such as Luke Atmey....bah).

 * Maybe one per chapter counts as a breakdown? capefeather 23:29, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Was almost finished when I got the blue screen of death! Curses! But I've changed the page to what I think is an improvement that's more in line with the style of the wiki. At some point I'll put some more stuff in the gallery section...  Strabo412 00:26, March 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just mentioning that I undid an earlier revision by an unregistered user. The older version made more sense, was more informative and was less ambiguous.

Thought I'd mention it seeing as I am myself an unregistered user.. 94.169.146.144 22:52, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

More breakdowns.
Sorry to charge in like this, but there's some "one-off" animations I've been noticing that could be considered breakdowns. Like Wright when he hears about Maya by de Killer, and Kay in Turnabout Reminiscence. What do you think? Knowall - December 23, 2010 14:56


 * Well, young Kay is already in there. As for Wright, I'm not sure what you mean. If you meant him with his head in his hands, was that only used in Farewell, My Turnabout? Is it never used in any other case? If it is only in Farewell then I think it would count. Strabo412 17:05, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

I double checked (again), he does it too in Bridge to the Turnabout, that's why I called it "recurring", but he rarely does that expression. Also, another question... That time when the Judge is cornered and he shouts "Noooo!" in Rise from the Ashes can be considered a breakdown? Ya' know, because he was acting so defensive about Gant, and he was cornered...

 * Until you mentioned it, I hadn't noticed that the Nick head-on-desk sprite was so rare, but it makes sense that he only did it on the two occasions that things really went to hell. Or, alternatively, the two occasions that Maya's life was in danger. Anyways, I disagree about the judge, since it's not really a unique (or even a rare) animation. In fact, apart from Grossberg, I think the judge has the fewest number of sprites. I mean there's normal, nod, head shake, shocked and serious. Poor, poor judge. So short-changed. At least AAI: ME gave him some new ones... Strabo412 03:14, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, the Judge is, sadly, too underrated. Let's wait and see if there will be more of him in the next games... Oh, and thanks for the help. Knowall - January 13, 2011 11:33


 * No problem, although I feel "help" is perhaps too strong of a word... :P  Strabo412 14:14, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Naito's breakdown
So...Naito's breakdown. Do you believe he is throwing one gun multiple times which caused it to dislodge something in the ceiling, making the objects fall? Or do you think he throws seven guns that become references to previous cases when they fall down.
