Your personal ultimate roster for a TMNT fighting game [Archive]

If the developers of Smash Up knew what they were doing, they would have given the fans a game celebrating the 25th anniversary and incorporating all of the TMNT universes. My question is: If you could design your own TMNT roster, which characters (and versions) would you choose?

Guidelines:

20 characters. Specify which version of the character you would use as their "primary" form. The rest of the versions can be unlocked without requiring another character. For example, "OT Leonardo" would be your primary character, and 2k3, movie, Mirage, etc. would all be unlockable skins for that character.

You can choose how many of the 20 characters are unlockable and how many you start with.

My Roster (characters in red are unlockable)

2k3 Leonardo
OT Donatello
1990 movie Raph
Mirage Mike
Movie Shredder
2k3 Splinter
Movie Casey Jones
OT Bebop
OT Rocksteady
2k3 Karai
NT:TNM Venus
OT Rat King
OT Leatherhead
OT Slash
OT Baxter Stockman (Fly)
2k3 Bishop
Movie Tatsu
2k3 Hun
2k3 Usagi
OT Krang

Powder

12-11-2010, 12:21 PM

OT Leonardo
Mirage Raph
2K3 Don (Would definitely have to have a cyborg alt. costume from Vol. 3)
TMNT Mikey
OT April
Vol. 3 Casey Jones (American Flag Mask)
Mirage Shredder
OT Bebop
OT Rocksteady
OT Krang
Dark Horse Usagi Yojimbo
TMNT Splinter
Mirage Nobody
Mirage Savanti Romero
Ultimate Ninja
2K3 Karai
OT Foot Soldier
Tokka
Rahzar
Null (Demon Form)

I gotta mention The Mighty Mutanimals & Choate as they aren't featured (but they would've been with more characters!).
If this were a Smash Bros. Brawl type of game with 30-35 characters, they'd definitely make the cut.

I was thinking of it being a Smash Bros type of game just with fewer characters lol. I think if we extend it to 30 - 35 everybody would use the same ones.

No specific "version" as default. It would be either some mixture of previous versions, or a completely new design altogether. Red are unlockable.

Leonardo
Michelangelo
Raphael
Donatello
Splinter
Casey
April
Leatherhead
Radical
Jagwar
Shredder
Krang
Karai
Foot Ninja
Bebop
Rocksteady

I guess the biggest thing would be how hard would it be to do multiple "costumes" so you can have the Turtles and have various unlock able versions as well.
I mean we could have Mirage, OT, Movie, 2k3, Next Mutation and maybe others. Heck, I think it'd be funny if one of April's alternate skins was Venus, you know, so she's not a whole new character, and would share a move set with April

Thought I'd give it a try. Roster consist of 35 playable characters and three generics for survival and last the time limit.

tried to include a little of all, but i think I fel a bit short on the diversity.

The characters would have different costume/skin as well as appropriate color schemes for team vs team. The costume swaps would have different effects on their attacks and visual effects might differ as well.

Start up Roster

Leonardo (Mirage color, B/w and Toon)
Michelangelo (Mirage color, B/w and Toon)
Donatello (Mirage color, B/w and Toon)
Raphael (Mirage color, B/w and Toon)

Man, it's sort of sad to imagine how awesome a fan service such a game would make... only to realize we'll never get this unless it's in the form of a fan-game. Maybe one day, somebody will pull off an awesome Smash-Up hack.

I like how everyone throws in at least one semi-obscure character. That's actually a tradition in TMNT fighting games.

My roster is pretty basic, nobody really obscure. It's because I haven't seen every episode of any series and have read few of the comics so I don't know any really obscure characters.

Venus kind of counts. There's lots of people who had no idea a fifth, female turtle existed.

Let's see...

NES: Hothead
SNES: War, Wingnut(possibly the Archie incarnation), and Aska (original character)
Genny: Sisyphus (OC), Ray Fillet, April (as a fighter for the first time)
Mutant Melee: Sleeg, "Monster", Traximus (though most are probably acquainted with Triceratons in general)
Smash Up: Utrominator

Yep, it's a trend, indeed.

TMNT 1990/Mirage mash up Designs for the TMNT's "regular" skins as I think limiting the TMNT's look to one uinverse hurts more than helps *cough* smash up *cough*
Anyway
I'm thinking 20 to start and 33 with the unlockable characters
Each "base" character either has their Mirage design or has mixed look ie elements from each universe unless otherwise noted. * signify unlockable skins
The good
Raph (alternate Mirage and 1990 movie skin*)
Leo(alternate Mirage and TNM skin*)
Mikey (alternate Mirage and OT skin*)
Donnie (alternate Mirage and 2k3 skin*)
Splinter(alternate first appearance skin and purple OT kimono*)
Radical (alternate black costume*)
2k3 April ( alternate OT yellow jumpsuit and 07' movie costume*)
2k3 Casey Jones (alternate Mirage and 1990 movie costume*)
Fugitoid (alternate Volume four giant robot mode*)

The bad
Shredder (altenate 2k3 and OT skins*)
Karai (alternate 2k3 outfit and SNES Tournament Fighters costume*)
Tatsu (alternate Khan outfit*)
Foot Ninja (alternate 1990 Movie and OT costume*)
2k3 Hun (alternate Mutant form*)
2k3 season 1 Cyborg Robo Baxter (alternate Robot Body from BTTS*)
2k3 Bishop(alternate BTTS outfit*)
OT Krang ( alternate Super Krang getup*)
OT Bebop(alternate Private Porknose outfit*)
OT Rocksteady (alternate Pirate Outfit from Turtles in time*)
Savanti Romero (alternate 2k3 look*)

The Unlockable
(each character is unlocked when completed with a certain base character or combinations of base characters. They are seperated into 3 tiers, depending on how easy it is to unlock them)
tier 1
Nobody (alternate Cop outfit)-complete game with Casey Jones
Tokka -complete game with Bebop
Rahzar-complete game with Rocksteady
Armaggon-complete game with Krang
Complete Carnage--complete game with Radical
Rat King (alternate OT outfit) -complete game with Bishop
Baxter the Fly (alternate human form)-complete game with 2K3 Baxter
tier 2
2k3 Miyamoto Usagi (alternate OT outfit)-complete game with Splinter and Fugitoid
Shoate(alternate black and Red Kimono)-complete game with Hun and Karai
TNM Dragon Lord (alternate action figure outfit)-complete game with Savanti
and Foot ninja
tier 3
2k3 Hamato Yoshi (alternate Bruce Lee outfit)-complete game with All TMNT
Super Shredder (alternate Black outfit)-complete game with all members of the Foot clan, not including the OT characters
Manga Turtle Saint- complete game with all base characters

phew. That took a long time... longer than I thought it would

Let's see...

NES: Hothead
SNES: War, Wingnut(possibly the Archie incarnation), and Aska (original character)
Genny: Sisyphus (OC), Ray Fillet, April (as a fighter for the first time)
Mutant Melee: Sleeg, "Monster", Traximus (though most are probably acquainted with Triceratons in general)
Smash Up: Utrominator

Yep, it's a trend, indeed.

To elaborate a bit (though you are definitely on the right track):

Hothead had his own figure, of course, but it was quite a bit different. Most people only knew him from his toy, and even then, he wasn't exactly a household name.

War definitely counts, as the Adventures comics were not exactly well-known at the time (almost nobody I knew as a kid had read them). Same with Armaggon, and perhaps technically, Adventures Wingnut, though I had never thought of him like that. Aska being exclusive to this game definitely makes her obscure as hell, even though she's fondly remembered by those who have played the game. Honestly, I'd put Karai in this category, because at the time, I didn't know who she was, none of my friends did, and hell, you can go back and read some old FAQs/fansites that also had no idea.

Ray Fillet wasn't really as much of a wtf character as most because he was a popular figure, but this one is essentially Man Ray so I'll give you that. Sisyphus, like Aska, is a random, out-there exclusive character. Blaze cosplay April is definitely weird as hell but since she's an essential character that everyone knows, it's not as much as the others. Again, I'd put Karai here for being relatively unknown for this time period.

Traximus does indeed possibly count as does Mozar, but they were both quite prominent in the series as well as had their own semi-popular action figures. Sleeg was such a random choice that I completely forgot who he was until I saw the episode he debuted in a second time. Monster takes the cake for being probably the most obscure character in a popular fighting game, ever. Gold Shredder might count since he never showed up with that armor in anything else.

Utroms themselves are basically unknown to anybody who didn't watch 2K3 or read the Mirage comics, but even most hardcore fans of the 4Kids cartoon didn't have any idea what an Utrominator was, since it only showed up in the background of exposition scenes in one (albeit popular) episode.

Some really good responses guys! If a game like this were to be made, I would want a bigger roster than 20 characters; too many good ideas!

Man, it's sort of sad to imagine how awesome a fan service such a game would make... only to realize we'll never get this unless it's in the form of a fan-game.

I actually have something in mind like this sort if I ever get a sequel done to my TMNT fangame (if I ever get the first one done, that is!). I have some blatant fan service in the first one, but it's mostly Mirage related. The second one, if it'll come about, will be more focused on multiple universes.

Of course, first comes Deliverance Re-Shelled ;)

oldmanwinters

12-12-2010, 08:54 PM

Of course, first comes Deliverance Re-Shelled ;)

Heh, EPIC win, dude!

Also, I completely forgot about Armaggon in SNES Tournament Fighters. He really would have been a surprise to most people. Also, the Genesis game was my first introduction to Karai. I was totally expecting Shredder as the final boss so a female Foot Clan leader was a big shock for me. Karai seems so familiar nowadays, it's hard to remember it wasn't always the case!

Ok, let's see if I can narrow it down to 20. Character version is as either as designed by Ken Mitchroney or a solid anime version (like the promo art for Tournament Fighters SNES)

1-4 are obvious.
5 Ray Fillet
6 Jagwar
7 Dreadmon
8 Wingnut and Screwloose
9 Mondo Gecko
10 Leatherhead (with his Stump Intergalactic Wrestling suit as an alt)
11 Ninjara
12 Karai
13 Casey Jones (resembling himself in the first movie)
14 Miyamoto Usagi
15 Slash
16 Bellybomb
17 Krang-headed Shredder
18 Armaggon
19 Cryin' Houn'
20 Golani

Final boss: Maligna
Unlockable Uber-boss: Cudley the Cowlick

My preferences are... decidedly obvious.

Have barely read any of the comics, but from television shows and movies I have seen of the ninja turtles, my list would be something like this.....

(the ones you start off with)

1. Leonardo (2K3 version)
2. Rapheal (movie version)
3. Donetello (original toon version)
4. Micheleangelo (Mirage. Not too familar with the mirage comics, but from what I can gather, Mikey seems best here)
5. Master Splinter (2K3)
6. April O'Neil (2007 film)
7. Casey Jones (Movie)

(the ones you'll unlock)

8. Shredder (Movie)
9. The Rat King (2K3)
10. Leatherhead (2K3)
11. Krang (Original Toon)
12. Bebop (Original Toon)
13. Rocksteady (Original Toon)
14. Foot Soldier (2K3)
15. Rock Soldier (Original Toon)
16. Purple Dragon Gang Member (Mirage. Again, don't know too much into it, but I think it would be fitting to have one of the first enemies that the ninja turtles kicked major shell on)
17. Karai (2K3)
18. Mona Lisa (Original toon)
19. Venus (the NEXT mutation)
20. Kirby (the 4th never-shot live-action film)

Its also a trend in TMNT fighting games to have a mostly lackluster roster :( Smash Up is actually a pretty decent game, its exactly what I expected the game to play like, not a s polished but still fun Smash Bros clone with TMNT characters, the problem and backlash was of course the character selection. I think they said Laird didn't allow OT stuff but not sure how much I believe that. They're definitely to blame since they hyped it up as "your favorite characters from the 25 years of the turtles not based on any specific show or movie" etc, had they said "Its based on the 2007 movie" which is what it basically is maybe the backlash wouldn't have been as big. Now since this is a Smash Bros clone that came out after Brawl, I don't see why it can't have at least the 25 characters Melee had, this is after Brawl and that had 36, I wouldn't have minded many clone characters (which in the actual game they are a few that are basically clones already) as long as it meant having more characters, having the 4 turtles be similar if it meant 3 more slots for characters would be a good trade off.. different costumes would be doable but they'd remain the same character models like in the actual game with 2k3 april's costume still being essentially 2k7 april.

I remember doing various lists before the game came out but here is my post-game list. They'd all be generic, non-universe specific versions or amalgam of various versions, this is also a "realistic" list.

1,2,3,4- The Turtles
5 - April (the game needs girl characters)
6 - Casey Jones
7 - Splinter
8 - Shredder
9 - Karai
10 - Foot Soldier
11 - Leatherhead
12 - Ratking
13 - Armaggon
14 - Krang (android body)
15 - Stockman (fly)
16 - Hun
17 - Triceraton
18 - Slash
19 - Rocksteady
20 - Beebop

The game didn't get terrible reviews, had they included say the above roster list and I guarantee the game would have sold plenty more. Most of those are pretty much no-brainers. Don't even get me on stages, a cruise ship? wtf, where was inside technodrome, foot lair, triceraton world among tons of possibilities.

I know the topic said "personal" roster but like I said I made many of those lists before the game came out. I would have included Dragonlord, Venus, Tokka, Rahzar, more OT mutants, metalhead, mirage only villain (complete carnage?), other archie folk etc.

I think a new TMNT fighting game is inevitable but we'll probably get some adventure or beate up games first before they tackle a fighting game again, hopefully whoever develops it gets it right this time, either the Power Stone like engine Mutant Melee or the Smash bros like engine of Smash Up work great for TMNT.

Hm, 20... Letsee if I can break this into sorta groups of 4.

the 4 turtles
Splinter, April, Casey, Shadow (teenage or older)
Shredder, Karai, Bishop, Baxter
Rocksteady, Bebop, a Triceraton, an Utrom in exoskeleton
Renet, Fugitoid, Usagi, Aska

I think an ideal TMNT fighting game would have costume options that basically transformed the character into other incarnations of itself. So like the utrom+exoskeleton could become krang (or probably vice versa), Shredder could be Mirage, or OT, or Chrell, Usagi into Space Usagi, and so on. you'd get a different model/texture, voice, and altered but mostly the same movesets. maybe differnent special moves and so on. obviously not everyone would have the same number of alternates, but it'd be the best way to please everyone, except of course when it comes to which version would be the default.

Of course, since we're supposed to say what form we'd want too...I think going from the OT-era toy line might be the best compromise. Most of my picks have had toys, and the ones that haven't could get a "playmates style" redesign as their default perhaps. although I do prefer the mirage-style Baxter, personally. Of course this is all hyper-theoretical anyway.

If I'd have the rights and resources to produce a TMNT fighter, the visual style would be fully based on Jim Lawson's drawing, every character would be in his style, and in-game that would be reached via stylized cell shade on 3D models, which ones move on a 2D plane. (like Street Fighter IV)

Roster would be like:
01.) Leonardo
02.) Michelangelo
03.) Raphael
04.) Donatello
05.) Casey (mirage)
06.) Karai (mirage)
07.) Shredder (idw)
08.) Krang (ot)
09.) Baxter Stockman (mirage v2)
10.) Armaggon (archie)
11.) Radical (mirage)
12.) Man-Ray (archie)
13.) Leatherhead (2k3)
14.) Slash (archie)
15.) Renet (mirage)
16.) Rocksteady (ot) (+Bebop jumping in for special moves)
17.) Wingnut (+Screwloose) (archie)
18.) Bishop (2k3)
19.) Hun (2k3)
20.) Nobody (mirage)

++BONUS: GIANT IRMA :lol:

No Splinter or April, and all of them concepted by Jim Lawson, of course. :tsmile:

What's Fugitoid going to do? Kick and wail for help as he gets carried away by Triceratons?

His combo could be a few weak slaps with his noodle robot arms lol.
He was in Smash-Up, and that's a fighting game, plus he has a giant robot transformation in Mirage vol.4.
Just sayin'.

I'm going with a kind of updated Tournament fighters. Especially for starter turtles. Change up Shredder to be closer to OT to start off. Have DLC costume packs like SSF4. They could be like a mirage pack and have a few different artists takes on each turtle and Casey or whoever. Like have a Lawson stule for everybody he's done before a Laird style whoever. It can be Mirage oack 1. have a number 2 with others and so forth. Unlockable costumes could be movie, OT and 4kids versions. I'd add in Splinter as a fighter and have Rat King and Karai as playable.

Ahhh! I was so disappointed in Smash Up. Not that it was terrible, but it wasn't what I had built my hopes up. I love the SSB franchise, though was also kind of disappointed with Brawl a bit, so I was hoping that this game would fill the void. Sadly, it did not...

My roster:
Mikey Rabbid
Leo Rabbid
Raph Rabbid
Don Rabbid...

...J/k

Real Roster:
Leo, Don, Raph, Mike, Splinter, April, Casey

Unlockables:
Shredder, Leatherhead, Rat King, Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, Karai, Alopex, Fugitoid, Slash, Neutrino, Triceraton, Bishop, Hun, Metalhead, Old Hob, Baxter Stockman w/Mousers

Nothing too surprising, but I feel like I got the basics of most universes.

They should make a Nick TMNT brawler. Here's my roster:

Initial/Starting Characters:
Leonardo
Donatello
Raphael
Michelangelo
Splinter
Shredder
Foot Soldier
Kraang Droid

Unlockable Characters:
April
Metalhead
Leatherhead
Karai
Kraang Prime
Dogpound
Fishface
Snakeweed
Baxter Stockman
Newtralizer
Mutagen Man
Cockroach Terminator
Spider Bytez

Good roster, but it's missing some people, though I see why. Rat King, though it would be hard to see what he would fight like (he just controls rats). Traag would be good, but probably too tall (though Kraang Prime is 25ft tall...). We haven't seen Casey's design yet. That's about it.

Everyone. But all in a style unique to the game but absolutely awesome in design style.

You know I was generaly okay with the roster for Smash Up considering that it was the first game in the series and didn't get my hopes up bases on vague comments suggesting a larger and more diverse roster.

My only gripe is that no one really wants to play as a nondescript Foot Ninja and while Utrominator was an interesting idea it's essentialy the same deal. Change them to actual characters like say Rat King and Leatherhead and I'd have been fine. Also Nightwatcher should have been a Raphael skin instead of an actual character.

Genesis

I don't know about a full roster of my own (just yet), but I've written out full command lists for all four Turtles and am working on Splinter and the Shredder's moves. The idea is to incorporate just enough references to Tournament Fighters while still feeling like its own moveset.

If there was a competent, fast-paced TMNT fighting game in the vein of the Guilty Gear series, Persona 4 Arena, and/or KOF XIII, I'd probably never play another 2D fighter again. That's what I'm going for with my command lists, even though I pretty much know that I'll never get to see my game made.

Might as well have a roster, while I'm at it, at least of the characters for whom I have or intend to make command lists:
Leonardo
Michelangelo
Donatello
Raphael
Splinter
The Shredder
Karai
Casey Jones
Leatherhead

Characters I'd probably include, if given the opportunity, and I needed to fill out the roster:
Baxter cyborg
Hun
Angel (IDW)
Miyamoto Usagi
Hamato Yoshi
Shredder Elite
Rahzar
Tokka (maybe Slash, too, assuming that wouldn't seem redundant; it's just that I know I'd want Rahzar, and he's incomplete without Tokka)
Nobody
Bishop
The Rat King (maybe with the same moves as Bishop as a clever 2k3 reference?)

Maybe pile:
Zog (or perhaps a sane Triceraton warrior)
Xever (if only as an upright middle finger to making him Fishface)
Utrom Guardian (or something)

One important thing is that the Turtles would absolutely NOT be pallette swaps. They'd each have their own stance and skin tone to easily differentiate them on-screen.
