Character Tier List

[Swan Knight]

S - April
A - Splinter, Leo, Raph
B - Don
C - Mike, Casey

[Vesperas]

I'm curious why you ranked Splinter higher than Michelangelo and Donatello?

I'd rank them something like this, personally:

1. April
2. Leonardo
3. Raphael
4. Michelangelo / Donatello
5. Casey Jones
6. Splinter

Michelangelo is propped up by his speed, and Donatello by his basic special.

Casey Jones seems like he should be better considering his stats but his range is really inconsistent.

Splinter just sucks. Going from him to April is night and day.

Personal preference perhaps?

It amuses me how April's been ranked from weakest/worst to strongest and best character among the player-base. I love it.

April is my personal fav. Going from her to any other character is a challenge for me right now.

My tier so far:

1. April
2. Casey
3. Splinter
4. Mikey (?)

I haven't yet properly played with any turtle so I will just leave them all for the 4th. Leo might be the easiest for me - played like a stage or two and he's quick and his aerial is great and smooth. Mikey/Don are the ones I played most with. Mikey is average, but fast and has quick attack speed which I like. Don is so far the hardest for me but I can see his benefits and just need my time to adapt and learn his patterns and speed. His super is great and can be a life saver. I have yet to play as Raph.

I will update my list once I will play more with the green machines.

splinter is a powerhouse. 2 damage dive kick, 8 damage combo attack, 15 damage flying super.

everything april does is 1 damage, though her flying super is strong with 12 damage

S - donny, april, splinter
A - raph, casey
B - Leo
C - mikey

Splinter was my first ever character and if it wouldn't be for my friend whom I started playing with, wanting to switch chars mid-story I would have finished the game with him as well. I loved him and leveled him to 10 first and I do too think he is a beast to play with. Not the quickest, and after maining April it is a bit hard to get back to him but yeah, he's good.

If you go by speedrun times for solo arcade modes, it looks something like this:

1. April, Leo, Raph, Don, Splinter (no particular order)
2. Casey
4. Mikey

5 of the characters are very close to each other to the point of a new record being more RNG based then the kit of the character. Casey isn't too far behind and my just need someone to step up their game with him.

Mikey... just can't kill as quickly as the rest. Not by much, so it really won't effect casual play. But you feel it when you see how Leo or April can melt a boss and quick kill single targets compared to him.

The more I read about Mikey the more I feel like he is, in fact, the worst character of all, on many different levels. Now, I see you, Mikey lovers, don't hate on me please. :D

But perhaps we just need a Mikey pro to show us he might be the best? I personally love him, but can't see playing with him as much.

a pro can just show us that he's decent. his toolkit is just so bad. the bouncing dive and really weak slide really ruin things for him

Interesting, thanks for the info

I love mike because of his speed and air juggle launcher. If you run at an enemy and hit jump and attack at the same time he does his shell spin move that will stop at their feet then jump attack again and he does his multi hit combo spin that can launch and hit multiple times, plus he’s fast enough you can dash around and pretty much non stop juggle. Not sure if any of the other characters have the jump attack launcher move that is more than one hit but whenever I play any other character (haven’t tried them all) they feel way slower and I can never get a good air combo going like I can with mike

This is exacly how i feel playing him, plus he feels the most responsive. I don't care about his dmg values and properties, he's just super fun to use

[Chopper Dave]

S+ - Mikey
Garbage tier - everyone else.

Mikey is the best turtle ever.

[cowbell]

I rank mine based on how fun they are and while I have yet to use Casey, I figure he is a least below the most fun.

FUN! April, Splinter
Party! Mikey, Raph, Casey?
BOO! Don, Leo you suck
