What foot soldiers in the various games are the toughest/trickiest?
 
In honor of my 100th post and reaching the rank of Foot Soldier, I would like to see what you think about certain Foot incarnations over the various video games. In the NES Arcade game for instance, I'd say the ones with those purple sticks are the hardest as they can swipe you from the side. The red ones that throw those big red bombs are also tough as not only those bombs can get you, but they are very fast as well.

For the original arcade, I dislike the spear, gun, and boomerang guys. So basically anything with range. Also the bomber helicopters.

I disliked the ones with the tonfa from Turtles in Time that blocked your attacks. I hate AI that constantly blocks attacks.

^^This^^

I'm fine with enemies being able to kill me quickly, but its the ones that take no damage against a flurry of attacks that really tick me off!:tgrumble:

Also as a side note, I always felt bad for the guys who have to carry the bombs around. They join up in some sweet ass ninja clan, and when it comes time to pick out weapons, they get "carry this bomb around and throw it". That's not very ninja. Maybe that's a rank lower than hand-to-hand fighter, you end up on bomb duty if you screw up.

Foot Gunners.

For TMNT II on NES, it was the regular purple-clad ones. First, they jump kick onscreen, making it tricky to land a quick hit the moment they appear. Then, if you jump kick at the right time, they throw some friggin Street Fighter punch that thwacks you across the screen.

On TMNT III, it was the pink bastards with the pokers.

TMNT IV, I agree with Jester on the pinkos that block. But it was a good challenge against Shredder.

For the old TMNT game, it was the ones driving the steamrollers. F**king die! ('course, this was before I knew the hop-out-the-van trick)

Hmm...I definitely hated the yellow foot soldiers in Turtles and Time (the ones with the green boomerangs). They would always back away, and when you did get close, they would kick you.

I also didn't like the pink foot soldiers that wore the blockers on their arms in the same game.

In tmnt 3 Manhattan project I hated the freakn pink soldiers with the spears... Damn I hate them......But I will tell u something that I really got me mad was the yellow ninja that through sand on the first level. Ecspecially when one was in front and behind....ugghhh.....

In TMNT2 for the NES I hated the red ones with rifles and those with hammers or whatever it is. Those with rifles would shoot you and you'd be stunned for a few seconds, and then knocked over as well. If you're really unlucky you'd be a victim of several of these attacks in succession. And those with hammers/clubs or whatever are just so frustrating when they hit you.

I also hate the yellow ones with green boomerangs in TMNT4 for SNES. They always throw it at you when you're gonna approach them. Frustrating is the word.

Wow... I totally forgot about those red douche bags...I hate them and yes I have been the victem of rape when it come to them:(

What can I say that hasn't been said already... the red ones with the big guns in TMNT2 and the yellow ones with the huge spiked boomerang balls from TMNT4...

For me, it is without a doubt these guys. When there's a large group of enemies and ur trying to take multiple soldiers on, it REALLY sucks when you realize there is one of these guys blocking. Hate em! :tgrumble:

The Feudal foot ninjas in the Battle Nexus game.
I also disliked the Tonfa guys in TMNT VI and the orange ones that walk away as you approach them and then do this wierd jump attack in Manhattan project.

Zachatello00 10-13-2011 04:23 PM

TMNT in Time, the Green dudes that shoot arrows at you, and when you rush to attack them, you inevitibly hit a stupid loose plank...






it hurts my nose!

+1.

I hate the jump-kickers!

Also, on the first level, I always thought it was funny that Foot Soldiers would come out of elevators in a burning building. (But, they're just robots, how would they know?)

They're not so hard, the trick is to charge into them, they can't block that and you follow up with a beatdown combo or in case of the SNES version throw them at the screen.

Of all of the basic Foot Soldier enemies throughout all the games I've played, I would say the most obnoxious are the ones in TMNT for GBA--mostly because they take far too many hits to defeat; they're not really challenging; just too stubborn. The actual most obnoxious are the purple dudes who jump out of the ocean in Level 2 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manhattan Project.

I hate the pink ones with the arm guards in the SNES version of Turtles In Time.
