#AD 

Thank you so much for the resources! I've been wanting to dig into this for a bit now.

Leo is weak tbh, but the game isn't really about who's strongest so much as it's about styling with the character of your choice.

I think Donatello kinda sucks but April is my favorite so take that as you will.

@@DragoonCenten I mean, to each their own playstyle. I don't think Don is bad at all. He's always been my main in every TMNT game and I've played all the characters here. The low speed only impacts his walking speed and attack animation duration, and his optimal range means that you're still hitting enemies around the same time and killing them around the same time as other characters. His standard super is the best in the game (along with Raph's I would argue). I only ever found his speed to be a challenge in the later stages of the game on my 1st playthrough, and now that I'm better at the game that's not even a problem now.

@@danielpayne1597 it seems that when you are being swarmed and you dont have meter you're not gonna make it out as easy as the other faster characters, sure he is great at his optimal range but when all the other characters dont have to worry about being optimal he doesnt seem worth the trouble. Plus his moves arent as saucy.

@@DragoonCenten I'll agree that Don has the least number of unique / utility moves, wish that wasn't the case because his bo staff really should allow for more flexibility. But when swarmed all you gotta do is is either a charged swing to wipe a bunch at once or rising attack, easy out. It's not that great a challenge for Don. He can also dash attack elbow bash enemies in a chain and his slide and aerial drop both hit twice, making meter less of a problem than it would be.

What a stupid gripe lmfao

Now that's some great observation👍

He should use a cricket bat instead. Why? Go ask Raphael why. IYKYK

i noticed this too, was an absolute beating to behold lol

I sure hope not.

@@k1n63d So edgy, such angst.

@@catisreckless4647 Don't use words you don't understand.

They have their own move sets, but it’s all the same buttons to do the moves. They all have a different air attack performed using the same buttons. The beginning of the game has a guide to all the variety of moves.

@@danielmelvin4525 👏👏👏👏

He only matches Don's range with his rising attack thanks to the hockey stick, but you're right.

I think it's that he doesn't CONSISTENTLY have the range of Donny. Any attack where he's pulling his weapons out, he reaches, but unlike some of the cast, only some of his attacks use the weapons.

unfortunately Range is not one of them lol

Somebody will soon comment the "true" best character ;)

I agree! Every character is excellent. Wish a few had more unique attack options--Splinter having a unique aerial would be nice in addition to the best Flying Attack and Leo's Flying Attack being a samurai-style slash-through that zips him across the screen woulda been cool--but can't really complain, every character brings something fresh to the table! I've gotten almost the whole cast to Lv 10.

Mikey is clearly the best

Tie between Mikey and April for best character.

april op af

Different if you play it repetitively

Immediately what I thought of when I learned of Mikey's buggy landing allowing him to loop his stompies in SR. He's back to his old ways! XD

My two cents: of the Turtles I really do think Leo is the most all-rounder (go figure!) with good damage, somersault, and double hit charge attack. Mobility on Raph and April's specials can't be overstated how dominating it is! Splinter is solid if you want a beefy tank-like character with huge special hitboxes. Mikey is the easiest and most fun to combo IMHO, he's very similar to Cherry from SoR4 in that way. Really fun game with lots of subtleties!

I'm working on damage analysis next since this one had a bigger focus on the property of the move such as knockback strength, number of hits, etc. I can confirm that Splinter's full combo attack is by far the strongest out of the playable cast.

@@donutsama285 Casey's full combo is as strong as Leo, Raph and Donnie. Still stronger than both Mikey and April.

@@donutsama285 Yes, Casey's 3rd attack counts as x2 1 dmg hit. So before his final attack, he has already dealt 4 dmg points. Same with Splinter's karate chop from his 3rd attack which also dishes out 2 dmg points.

There were a few scrubquote material comments when the video gained a lot of attention in early July but it since then, the comments were mostly good.

Performing a dodge followed up by a flying attack is very satisfying (and useful!).

A new X-men game would be legit

The vegan pizza.

I will have a look at that later this week when producing my next TMNT video.

I've had the same thing happen and have no clue what causes it. It's happened randomly when playing with friends anywhere from 2 to 4 players. I never get a chance to get a good look at it either cuz it happens so fast. It's exactly how you described it, almost like one character chucks the other character as a fireball of sorts. Tried looking through all the tutorial for moves and there's nothing that indicates this interaction at all.

Same. Mickey thrown as a fireball across the length of the screen. I was don.

When one character does a dive kick into another character. If the second character hits attack at right timing you get the fireball move. Wish there were more things like this in there.

Do it on hard difficulty. It’s a long ride.

@@JamMastaMax Not if u play in multiplayer tho

Super Dive is an odd one. When testing against Final Krang, he took the exact same amount of damage, regardless of character.

All characters can kill Foot Soldiers with a standard 4-hit combo. However, some characters have specific moves that do more or less damage. Raph's standard super does 25% more damage than Mikey's. All aerial supers do the same damage, as Greenalink pointed out. April & Mikey's dash attacks do less damage, taking two hits to kill Mousers. April's standard super doesn't do as much damage as others per hit, but you can crank out more damage by hitting with the spinning mic more times. So Power doesn't impact every move a character has, only certain moves as far as KOing enemies goes. As far as raw damage on a boss goes, I haven't seen a video yet showcasing that to confirm that every character's attacks do the same damage, so I can't confirm that at this time.

@@danielpayne1597 After seeing this video getting a lot more attention than expected, I am working out damage values and eventually produce a video. The Auto Combo from Mikey/April/Raph (triple hit) Flying Super Attacks will be tough to figure out exact values.

@@Greenalink That's awesome! I appreciate the work you put into this video and into the ones you're making. Really looking forward to learning how much damage every type of attack can do. One thing I want to ask about -- Don's Flying Super sometimes hits just once, but I have seen it seemingly do a multi hit before. *edit* just rewatched the vid, apparently it happens against Foot Soldiers. Any other enemies it happens with? Mousers?

He explains in the video, Home run attacks, it only happens in multiplayer because you must attack an enemy in the air that has been juggled by another player. Looks like Mikey and Raf are the only ones to change colors though when this happens. I was looking for the same thing!

There's also the RADICAL mode when you have 3 bars and hit taunt again. The character gets a colored after-image.

@@obi-wankenobi7160 thx. I somehow overlooked that in the Video. Thats it

I didn't forgot, please read the description.

Casey's listed stats exceed everybody's, but what isn't shown is that he has the gimpiest dodge / backflip. It doesn't really hold him back or anything, but if you're looking to flip around foes, other characters do that way better. Agreed on Casey's range varying by attack type, really it's just his rising attack that matches Don's range.

Tubular Spin and no I didn't cover it because every character is identical from poses to attack properties.

Lol. Actually you can put it back. There is a mod on Nexus for it.

Of all the stupid things to cry about... so lame.

@@macekarlyn2632 Yep, knee attack is cooler imo.

@@macekarlyn2632 except nobody's crying about it.

​@@MrAllBlack015 Yeah right, bunch of sick freaks were complaining about it being removed.

They thought it was ill fitting to her but I prefer the knee attack since I think it's cooler.

It’s crazy to think how well made the older games were. Konami was ahead of it’s time when it came to creating video games.

Flank an enemy when you attack-- stand on either side.

Double tap left/right to make the character dash, then press Attack whilst dashing.

@@Greenalink Oh cool, thank you!!

Pretty sure Splinter was taking it easy, if he really wanted to he can become god tier lol.

I feel like he is in every turtle game

@@maximum_hedro0m136 He's really good in the old games imo but pretty difficult for first timers (tas players shown hes the best for speed runs). He's much more accessible for all players here.

I originally thought that Donnie was the best in the game after playing campaign on Gnarly difficulty. But after going to arcade mode on the same difficulty, I had changed my mind. I think range isn't really all that helpful, because enemies start to use projectiles later in the game, as well as charging attacks that keep you on your toes. I think I might have thought Donnie was the best because you could spam his super in the campaign mode, due to having multiple bars to use said supers. Now I think Splinter and Raphael are the top 2 best characters in the game. Splinter has decent range, a 5 hit combo that pops enemies in the air for follow ups, and the best flying super in the entire game. It's amazing that it's one the most deadly supers in the game AND it's a disjointed hitbox. Raphael has great running speed and attack speed. I also think his sliding attack is the best in the game due to it's range, combined with Rachel's speed. His normal super is also very versatile since you can move it around and increase it's speed by running (I found thay out because to this video ) and he has the fastest taunt in the game, which is very useful for boss fights ( again, I found this info from this video). So yes, I agree that Raphael is absolutely a top tier character.
