Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Justice for All (fan dub)
Val Rivera for Sal Manella
... I'm not going to lie: I hate this character. In all honesty I could probably find a way to cut around him, but that's a bit far beyond the editing I want to do with this project and taking a little too much liberty with the source material.
Sal Manella is the greasy creep who happens to direct the Steel Samurai TV series. He is very much portrayed as a socially unacceptable stereotypical nerd and almost exclusively speaks in 1337 or "leet" speak out in the world. When brought before the court he learns quickly that his usual speech pattern isn't going to cut it and begins speaking in a relatively normal fashion.
(Director's note: I feel like I'm going to regret selecting this line, but c'est la vie)
"You know, on closer inspection... Mmm... Yeah... Hot! Hot! Hot! *slobber* Hey, do j00 do a lot of "cosplay," coz that costume r0x0rz!... *drool*"
"Huh? Mmph! LOL! Buffer overrun! *pant* You've triggered my CR34T1V3 P0W3RZ! Yes... yes, it's coming to me! "Pink Princess"! The sequel to the Steel Samurai... "Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo!" ROFL... LMAO!"
"... How r00d can j00 get! J00 don't know ME!? I'm the director! I make the Steel Samurai, n00b! ROFL!"
(Silence in the courtroom, suddenly very nervous and aware of his surroundings)
"S... Sal Manella. I'm a director. Television."
"A burden shared is a burden halved."
