TDMMC: VGB - Round 2 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Virtua Fighter 4)

Konami Bracket:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade) vs. Virtua Fighter 4

“VF4” upset “Donkey Kong” to get a spot in the 2nd round, while “Turtle Power” reigned supreme against the brand new “Elder Scrolls 4”.  This match will put a beat-‘em-up style brawler against a traditional fighter.

thanks i got that stuck in my head now

I can't believe what I'm seeing here.  VF4 beat out Donkey Kong Country (probably the biggest first round upset) and now it's just absolutely spanked by the turtles.

Don't mess with Turtle Power - TMNT looks like it's going into the round of 16

One thing I thought could've been better about TMNT was the difference in the Turtles.  They were essentially pallette swaps of each other.  The weapons weren't really any different (although people claimed that Donatello could hit further, I think that he was the same) and the special moves and sprites were all identical.

Donatello's stick could absolutely hit further then anyone else's, in the arcade.  Trust me, i have a lot of game experience at TMNT.

Donatello - Long Reaching Weapon
Leonardo - Medium reaching weapon, but his slashes with his kitana blade seem to be the most accurate
Rafael - Has the worst weapon, and the worst position in a 4-person scroller game (the far right), but he could do that roll instead of the "kill" move.  If you got good at it, you could be effective with Rafael
Michaelangelo - Pretty much sucked all the way around, because the nunchucks blow ass, but someone had to be him when you play with 4 players.

Donatello, followed by Leonardo, are the two most played characters in TMNT.

There you go....you claim that they're different (and I believe you), but I didn't find it noticable enough.  And they were only different in that some were better, not that there was a balance.

It's definitely noticeable for me.  And for the 1,000's of other kids who would always try to play w/ donatello
