Hmmmmm, I don't know about Mikey. I mean, I could see this Michelangelo beating Casey, but Casey is still tough. If Mikey did beat Casey I wouldn't be surprised, but if Casey beat Mikey I also wouldn't be surprised.

I hope this post isn't directed towards me b/c I'm just giving out my opinion.

Casey has and always has been portrayed to be stronger than April from the very start IMO. So far (not directed towards you), none you guys have given any evidence to why April is stronger than Casey. All you guys are really doing is ignoring Casey's feats which is downright stupid. It's strange to me to see Casey fighting back Biotroids while April is barely given any screen-time fighting them at all. That to me says a lot.

The only thing so far that really separates Casey from the ninjas is his reckless attitude and that statement was made clear from the start. Despite that, Casey was acknowledged by Raphael, but guess what? Raphael completely, along with the other turtles, doubted April's ability in the previous episode "Kraang Conspiracy" (or was meant to be the previous anyways). Does that not tell you guys anything?

yes, Casey has been shown to be a good fighter, he's no ninja but that doesn't mean he's not good.

so far April's been captured...alot......the only scene that really showed her fighting skills was against Karai (Target April O Neil) and she needed Leo's help to back her up.

other times she's just swinging her Tessen around or good at running away/dodging by a hair.

honestly....I think April would have been a more helpful character if she was more into gathering intel/hacking.
I know it's not fighting....but I think It would have made her stand out more and shown her value on the team.

it's hard for April to compete with 4 ninja brothers, a crazy hockey athlete, and a angry female ninja.

we can't expect her to just GET good.....so having her be already good at something else would have been cool.

Just weighing in; Casey and April are one of the few things that I don't enjoy in the Nick show - but I think Babyturtles has hit the nail on the head: it would've been nice to see April with a different kind of talent, rather than grouping her in with the more experienced fighters where she is outclassed more often than not.

If she'd been portrayed as being more brainy with computers for example, it could've been a good jumping off point for some nice character beats between her and Donnie.
