TMNT "Smash Up" Character/Roster Predictions Thread
 

TMNT Smash Up is the rumored title for the upcoming TMNT video game for the 25th anniversary. From what I heard the game is being made by the same people who made Super Smash Bros.

You've...never read the comics have you?

Ditch some of those characters for heavy-hitters like Savanti Romero, Radical, Complete Carnage, Cha Ocho, and others.

Not that I'm going to hold my breath for comic-only characters, though...

I feel guilty i've never read any of the comics. I've only seen the movies and tv shows. But your right maybe if I read some of the comics I would of added some from the comics.

hah man I wish it had those characters I'm doubtfull we will get characters even half as cool as though or even half that many either.

I highly, highly doubt we'll get Venus. But I like the idea of a Serling/Cody combination.

how awesome would it be if they could work Usagi in?

Their some on there that are very unlikely (Venus) and some that just can't happen (Aska. Konani owns her). Also, Smash Bros. Brawl has 35 playable characters. I doubt we'll get that many. Oh, and who ever said anything about Assist Trophies (or anything close to AT)?

My list:
From any/all versions (pretty much my Mirage list, but all of them exist in a different piece):
1. Leonardo
2. Raphael
3. Michelangelo
4. Donatello
5. Splinter
6. Shredder
7. April O’Neil
8. Casey Jones
9. Baxter Stockmen (I hope for the Fly version)
10. Karai (With alt outfit of Shredder armor)
11. Leatherhead (I prefer the old toon)
12. Nobody
13. Savanti Romero
14. Hamato Yoshi
15. Foot Ninja (Almost forgot them!)

Old Toon/Archie:
16. Bebop
17. Rocksteady
18. Krang
19. Slash
20. Metalhead
21. Wingnut
22. Jagwar

Movies:
23. Tokka
24. Razhar
25. Super Shredder (though I prefer an original design)
26. Bigfoot
27. Jersey Devil (He can be like Servbot from Marvel Vs. Capcom :P)

New Toon:
28. Hun
29. Bishop
30. Turtle X (Cody Jones and Serling)(I like the idea to :P)

There's many more that could be on there, but I'm trying to be reasonable and pick the ones most light and hardcore fans want while hitting all versions of TMNT(not counting NM, of course). If we get even half of the old toon characters, I'll be happy.

He's never been in any of the games, so I assume there's legal issues, but I'd love that!

Pretty much agree with ya, Blade.

Yeah forget about the assist trophies. They all can made appearances somehow.

I was wondering why you indicated Assist Trophies in the first place. After all, this isn't Brawl. There's no guarantee of a striker system of any kind.

I dunno I just figured maybe it would be like Super Smash Bros. Since the creaters are making Smash Up.

Well, y'know, not all Capcom fighting games have all of the same features, nor do all of the SNK ones, et cetera...

We shall see if it does or not. There's still an uncanny amount of information that is still to be revealed.

In other words, that's your list of NPCs that should appear, right?

I wish this game could have at least five players instead of just four. Setting up a custom "All four Turtles versus Shredder" fight with the Shredder set to some ridiculous difficulty level (to mirror that of how badass he was in the comics, 2k3, and first movie) would be so kickass. Hopefully something like that'll be integrated into Story Mode or whatever.

Yeah that would be cool, but we're gonna have to wait and see.

Well then, my mistake. He would make great secert character. Here's hoping.

So they're going to for sure go for older TMNT stuff like the comics and old cartoon and not just the new cartoon/movie?

If so all I really hope for is TMNT skins of the old comic and cartoon and maybe even old movie. Hell I'd even take Next Mutation. Anything but the movie design. I don't hate those designs but I am sick of them. The SNES Tournament Fighter Turtle designs I think are the best of ANY TMNT video game, 2d or 3d.

I really hope slash makes the cut for this game. He was never in any of the turtles fighting games and he's a freaking monster

I'll be extremely surprised if we get more than 25 characters.

Here's my prediction:

Leo
Mikey
Don
Raph
Casey
Splinter
Shredder
Leatherhead
Usagi
Foot Soldier
Elite Guard
Karai
Rat King
One of the Generals from the 07 movie
One of the monsters from the 07 movie
Hun
Bishop
Turtlebot
Bebop
Rocksteady
Baxter Stockman
Krang

I'm assuming you meant "monsters", right?

Nah, in some never before released footage IMAGI showed me there was a group of mutants strangely called "movies". :P

I wouldn't hold your breath on Max Winters being included. Anyone from the movie that did something will probably be in it.

Well the only way we'll have a HUGE roster is having tons of clones and you know what, I'd actually prefer that. DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi series has almost every DBZ character over 100. Many of them play similar but you don't care at all. This will never be a Smash Bros game in quality so I'd rather have all this fanservice in it.

I won't post a realistic prediction, mine is more of a Wish List. Not in any order though the first ones are more likely to happen.
Scrap that, I tried making a list and already deleted it and started over a bunch of times so I'll just post a few characters who I don't think have been mentioned at all or enough and have a small chance of being in it.

Robot Turtle (could be metal head or just a generic mecha turtle)
Baxter Fly
Baxter Robot
General Traag
Venus
Aska
Dragon Lord
Tokka
Rahzar
Supear Shredder
Other versions of turtles besides the movie models.
Dark Turtles.
Sh'Okanabo
Another version(s) of (Shredder shredder war ;) )
Mighty Mutanimals (all of them)
Armaggon
Triceraton
cool random mutant from toyline/show
Bishop
that guy who mutates in the redsky season name escapes me at the moment
cat april

I don't know there is so much stuff and my list makes no sense already but I'll just post this instead of deleting it AGAIN and starting over...


What about levels?

Definitely a Sewer level and a Technodrome level.















Man I REALLY wish we'd have alternate outfits/skins...

As far as the SNES designs, I'd go as far as to say that they are the best TMNT designs EVER.

Some people here are listing way too many characters, which I think is pretty unrealistic. Not likely that there would be 40+ characters in the game. Plus some people are listing characters from "The Next Mutation" and "FastForward", which should never be touched, let alone aknowledged that they exist. Some things are better left forgoten.

Anyway, here's a practical list...

Leonardo
Donatello
Raphael
Michelangelo
Splinter
Casey
April (not really a fighter, I know. But meh)
Shredder
Krang
Rocksteady
Bebop
Foot Soldier (80s series)
Foot Ninja (2k3 series)
Elite Ninja
Karai
Leatherhead
Miyamoto Yojimbo
Hun
Radical
Carnage
Tokka
Rahzar
Super Shredder
Tatsu
Keno
Savante Romero
Slash
Rat King
Baxter Stockman
Mouser (I think it would be fun as a little fighter)


EDIT: Duh me.. I forgot Tatsu. Now added.

Not having done anything hasn't stopped characters from being in TMNT fighting games before.

Well as sdp said, they might do like Sparking! and go all out. Not bloody likely, though. I don't think the roster will break 30.

So what? With all due respect, you listed Keno, and some people feel the same way towards him as you do about Next Mutation and Fast Forward. Not that I think anything Next Mutation will be used anyway (or that I have anything against Keno).

Regardless of how much you like either series, Fast Foward has one undeniable advantage over Next Mutation. It had many well designed, unique, and powerful villains that would make terrific characters for a game.

And you better not be praising Back to the Sewers if you hate Fast Foward that much, but that's another topic.

God I hope so. And yeah, lists over twenty-five characters are hoping for far too much.

Dude, Keno is way cooler than any garbage that came out of Next Mutation and FastForward, and you know it.

The fact is there are ideas that are so bad that they should never be reproduced. And there's plenty of examples out there. Look into other franchizes like Marvel comics, and DC, and you'll see. There's things that have been taken out of continuety for being so dumb.


Oh trust me, I'm clumping that in with the rest of the trash.

Oh God yes. Ernie Reyes Jr. kicks ass. It's just the fact that while you or someone else wouldn't like it, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll exclude them. Hell, since Mirage is choosing the cast, we're likely to be unfortunate enough to get nothing but Mirage, 2K3, Fast Forward, Back to the Sewer, and 2007 movie characters. Hopefully they've got some of the guys who I would trust to pick from the Turtles' entire history like Murphy, Jones, or Berger.

Keno is cool as hell, but I'd still rather play a fighting game as Sh'Okanabo or Viral than Generic Ninja Character #4. Because, you know, they have abilities unique to them.

And you know they're going to throw new fans a bone with this one.

I liked a lot of the FF characters. The villains were all neat for the most part but I think even as an FF fan I can live without seeing Jammerhead fight Complete Carnage.

I won't go that far, but I'm with you in spirit. I remember when the game came out those designs were just damn incredible. Certainly made all the arcade and home tmnt games that came before, the same time, and after look like crap. Heck they colored Rat King metallic purple and he still looked awesome.

Did you write that article? It was a good read, I enjoyed it.

Hell yeah, but I do agree he shouldn't appear in the game, though I'd take him over a generic character.

Bottom of page one. Also, I can't read either of your lists because your font color blends with the background.

slash would be badazz in a fighting game. they need to do soul caliber with old school, 1984 looking turtles.

These aren't really my predictions so much as a wishlist, but here goes.

1. Leonardo
2. Donatello
3. Raphael
4. Michelangelo (with alternate Turtle Titan costume)
5. Splinter
6. April O'Neil
7. Casey Jones
8. Bebop
9. Rocksteady
10. Krang
11. Shredder
12. Baxter Stockman (with alternate fly form)
13. Rat King
14. Karai
15. War
16. Wingnut (with Screwloose helping him)
17. Chrome Dome
18. Armaggon
19. Hothead
20. Triceraton
21. Fugitoid
22. Silver Sentry
23. Foot Soldier
24. Bloodsucker
25. Bishop
26. Tatsu
27. Keno
28. Tokka
29. Rahzar
30. Leatherhead
31. Metalhead
32. Slash
33. Lotus Blossom

Oh, and now that I think about it... just to make this wishlist even more absurd and less realistic, I'll even add these characters, who I think might actually be owned by Konami.

34. Aska
35. Sisyphus

Aska, in particular, I find to be pretty cool, but unfortunately I believe that Konami holds the rights to that character.

Prediction?


Vernon.

Hmm, Vernon Fenwick vs. Venus De Milo...
