Leonardo IS the best fighter after all!
 

Nice to see you got your letter posted Heretic, and now we have the official Answer, the best fighter is Leo, even if it's barely. Nice debate anyway, nice to see that Laird did answer to the question.

PS. Just had to post this, after so many fun debates! :lol:

Yeah, no question. Especially after the Leo one shot and his performance during Return to New York. Even in the new show there's really no doubt that Leo is the Turtle!

Yeah, that has been my viewpoint, but now we have the official word as well.

Wow its official!!! Nice!! :lol: Now we can quote the dude in case of another thread about it!!

Naah, now we need to find another subject to to debate about...

:lol: There are still plently left! Like... "Why does Shredder's armor mutate when he turns into Super Shredder?" or "Why does Mikey have a californian accent?" :P

First, because writers wanted to make a TMNT movies for kiddies, to whom details like that don't mean a thing.

Second, yeah, why in the hell is that? :lol:

Probably because as a pet turtle, he had been sent to the NYC Petstore by a dealer in California.

Wait! Where is this?

Issue #10 letters page. This a subject Heretic and I have debated numerous times. At last ome official word.

Too bad I don't own the comic. Was there a thread for it?

You're all wrong.

SuperShredder's armor mutated because the normal armor just could not even hope to contain the unbridled power and superbly-conditioned hair of "Big Daddy Cool" Kevin Nash, THAT'S why. It had nothing to do with the script, and all about Nash just being too "Big Sexy" for the regular suit. So there.

Come on ppl you all had to know Leo's the best! He's a perfectionist and without a doubt the most skilled. He's always been Splinter's gifted pupil. He's said it sooo many times. He shows an incredible amount of discipline and determination in everything he undertakes, this is expecially true when it comes to training. It's no wonder he's the the best fighter. :D

LOL at Leo 656's post. :lol:

Thats a lie. being the best fighter dont make him the best turtle. its according to what you like in a turtle.

LOL! YES! That MUST be it! Ha ha ha! Thank you Leo for clarifying that point.

Of course Leonardo is the best Turtle.

He actually defeated Shredder all by himself!

If that is not skillful, I don't know what is. :D

Even though he's my personal favorite, I wouldn't go as far as to make the statement that Leonardo is singly the “best” turtle. In all fairness, each is unique and is “the best” in his own way. Leo’s undoubtedly the best fighter of the four, but Don's the best at things of a technical/scientific nature, and so on and so forth. Best fighter, yes, but best turtle? In my own opinion, yes, but that's simply a matter of personal preference.

Yes, Raphael is still my favorite but I have always tought that Leo is the best fighter. Well now we know it for sure.

Raph's my second-favorite turtle, without a doubt. I think it's safe to say that he's also a close second to Leo in terms of fighting skill. Not that Donny and Mikey are anything to laugh at in terms of kicking butt, but Leo and Raph are definitely the Turtles' resident skull-busters.

My theory about Mikey's accent is this: Remember in the first episode of the old show Mikey said that the turtles watch a lot of TV, well people ussually have accents like the accents of people they hear... so I figure Mikey must have been watching all sots of surfing shows and stuff and the people there had californian accents and thus Mikey has one!
