@@iconoclast575 You're welcome. 1987 April is always a delight to look at in action, and a little tip can encourage users like you to do more of these ;) enjoy brother!
Dude, it's thanks to you and carefully watching you that I was able to do this myself with ease on all 7 characters. Not no death mind you, but being able to very comfortably solo through arcade mode on gnarly. Thanks so much!
I mean, makes sense why April would learn how to actually fight she spends her time with 5 mutant martial artists and a vigilante, not to mention she always appear to pick trouble when getting her scoops
Looks like April O'Neil is not the damsel in distress anymore , like it was in previous TMNT games . Now Shredder or his minions must think twice before even planning to kidnap her. Or else 😄
Yeah, I don't know if it makes much sense though. Granted, I'm not the biggest TMNT fan and I might be missing something, but if some random reporter can beat Shredder then what's the point of the TMNT existing in the first place?
It's been like 30 years since I've watched the show, but I don't remember April ever kicking that much ass. She seems to be one of the strongest fighters in this game. She has practically infinite ninja power because of her rapid attacks.
Me: "Shredder! Give me back my pizza!" Shredder: "Or else what?" Me: "Or I'll send April after ya!" Shredder: *"H-here, t-take it! Just don't send her after me~he~hee~!"* 😭
Wow april goes on a rampage like that with just a camera and a mic shows how harshly the media can beat the crap out of you in every beat of tv and entertainment!
thx for the wealth of vids on this, will refer back to this one probably a lot. i got the Okay 1CC on my third attempt but Gnarly is a whole new game. current takeaway is that im not using my super enough
Narrator (Me): No longer the Damsel In Distress, April has done vigorous training with Splinter-Sensei so she can protect herself from danger and threats.
It turns out that April saved everyone this time... Funny. ) Of course, she hadn't fought before, but as others have already pointed out, she could have learned from Splinter. By the way, she was already the most beautiful April, and the fact that she knows how to fight makes her amazing!
Oh, really? Like it never happened in the show - he was kicked around by toddlers, teens, pregnant ladies, Vernon and Irma and etc. He never was really a threat (except season 1 and his last 3 episodes in red sky seasons).
Despite having the lowest attack power, April more than makes up for it with her high speed. Players should use April's speed to their advantage as they hit enemies with rapid-fire attacks. They should also take care to stay on the move so they can better avoid getting hit by enemies.
April turned into Sarah Connor from Terminator 2 or Ellen Ripley from Alien...or Samus from Metroid!😎👍 She should be saving the Turtles, flipping the previous narratives.🙂
Gotta be honest here. Playing this game on gnarly difficulty is an equivalent of playing a Touhou game on lunatic difficulty. And yeah, I wouldn't forget about my father explaining me on how seriously hard the good old TMNT beat 'em ups are. Both of these series were my childhood to be honest. On top of that, April was the one that made my father much more open-minded to female characters in fictional entertainment. Especially the fact that he has seen her as an important HUMAN character.
I wish they would remake Captain America and The Avengers like they did this game. I spent hours and a lot of quarters on both these games back in the day.
Wow! Your run is truly amazing! Your very videos are the reasons I bought this game on Steam. And I had such a blast, no wonder you liked this game. However, I suck at this game, and I keep dying, even on Normal difficulty. If you're willing, may I ask for some tips you have so I won't die that much on the game?
I guess for a general tip, be sure you're using the evasion button a lot. It's fully invincible while the animation plays out, unless you cancel it into the evasion attack. That attack also homes in on enemies, so you can use that as an easy way to get in. Running attack or jump is also a good way to safely engage most enemies. The air super is generally better to use than your regular super too, unless you're Donatello. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to add. 🤔
@@iconoclast575 my run is still sucky, but thanks to your tips I managed to cut my deaths by half. Even so, I think I'm going to rewatch all of your TMNT SR videos and copy your strats as much as possible. Hopefully I could do a no death run on Normal. Thank you so much, and I will continue watching your channel as usual. It's always fun when you upload.
@@aizatyusof9748 The only thing I can add to his good advice is to uses the 3 P's: Practice, Passion, & Patience. -Practice is a MUST in order to get better -Passion because you need to LOVE what you do in order to keep doing it. -Patience because skill development STILL takes time no matter how hard we work.

Huh. April O Neil as a playable character on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Sounds to me like April O Neil got real tired of just being an average news cast reporter with a yellow jump-suit. So, I guess that means that she wants part of the action along with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But that's cool. I wouldn't mind playing her as a selectable character on this game.
There wasn't such character as Karai in 1987's cartoon. They made her in the two fightings on sega and snes, where she was Shredder's best student (not adopted daughter) and his formal apprentice in Japan's part of the Foot clan, but her appearance and attitude was very bland.
For those wondering when did April ever fight, go all the way back to the beginning when she fended off against the mousers right off the bat. Besides, as someone typed already, this is for all of the times she's been kidnapped.
3:36 Those ninja-robot-purple-things (I am completely new to TMNT, sorry if I got that wrong) look to me like th ey're scared feckless at what they see this reporter girl doing to all their colleagues, so they're keeping their head down in the desperate hope she'll ignore them.
Another aspect of why April is deceptively strong is that her quick, multi-hitting strikes build meter VERY quickly...the later bosses are probably the only time I frequently taunt to fill the bar.
This version of kick-ass April needs to be CANNON I can see April training with a Master Splinter or even being a martial arts practioner before meeting the turtles Plua this game does her justice
Hey man do you have any idea how the guy on the leaderboard got 7k points if it only goes on kills? Did he just sit there forever and let them spawn from a boss or something? As far as I can tell, you don't get more for harder difficulties or combos.
There are a bunch of points where enemies respawn infinitely, so yeah he just sat around farming them. The scoring system in this game is unfortunately a complete joke.
Hey @iconoclast, you mentioned you grew up on the old 90s beatumups, are you an 80s baby, too? I'd honestly laugh, because your Ninja Gaiden 2 videos inspired me to git gud at the series, and I'd feel better if it was a peer that got me to put forth my best effort, instead of some kid half my age XD
April O'Neil: This is for all those kidnappings you sonuva *horrific bone crunching sounds* Leonardo: April, stop! *all four turtles drag her away from a mangled Shredder* Raphael: Sheesh, it's that time of the month, I guess.
I think Raphael is the best character. Casey and April are pretty close too though. Then maybe it'd be Splinter > Leo > Don > Mikey. They're all really good though honestly, I just don't like Mikey's bouncing dive kick or running slide attack.
@@iconoclast575 I haven't played Raph much, why do u think he is the best? Because if it's about damage, Casey and splinter do damage but have better range and supers.
April in the cartoons: Help me, save me turtles!
April in this game: You have chosen Death.
Or rather.
April in game: I am fluent in over 6 million forms of kicking your ass.
In the show, she was an active character
Well said, @Tyler Barnick!
@@CommanderBroShep 🤣Awesome!
April in this game: “They don’t call me damsel in distress for nothing.”
The references to TMNT feel so 80-ies, the gameplay is definitely late 90-ies.
Great game!
April is the most underrated fighter/character in this game. All of her animations with the cameras, microphones, and booms are on point.
This game is honestly a giant love letter to TMNT
1.For letting the intro play out 2.For choosing April 3. For your BODACIOUS performance, babe!~ Have a slice of pizza!

Thank you for the Super Thanks! You are the first one to do that on my channel, I appreciate it!

Man, everyone has been getting the most of that April pointing sprite in their thumbnails. Its great.
Dude, it's thanks to you and carefully watching you that I was able to do this myself with ease on all 7 characters. Not no death mind you, but being able to very comfortably solo through arcade mode on gnarly. Thanks so much!
Great, I'm glad my videos were helpful!
Shredder: Nooo.... Defeated by the reporter... There is no greater humiliation!
he was beaten by toddlers and kids multiple times in the show. Even April's co-workers slapped him good.
I mean, makes sense why April would learn how to actually fight
she spends her time with 5 mutant martial artists and a vigilante, not to mention she always appear to pick trouble when getting her scoops
April's trying a new form of field journalism... with her fists. Splinter teaching her how to back-flip helped.
Looks like April O'Neil is not the damsel in distress anymore , like it was in previous TMNT games . Now Shredder or his minions must think twice before even planning to kidnap her. Or else 😄
Yep
Damn right😎
Not very believable that some random female reporter is a king fu master is it? Ninja turtles are more likely.
In this new age reality is filled with delusion.
Yeah, I don't know if it makes much sense though. Granted, I'm not the biggest TMNT fan and I might be missing something, but if some random reporter can beat Shredder then what's the point of the TMNT existing in the first place?
Just bought this for my Switch!
Gonna play this so much on my beach vacation!
(I’m leaving tomorrow!)
Enjoy it man! Just enjoy it.
Enjoy your bodacious vacation, bro!!! 🤟🏿
You know damn well you're screwed when April says: "Any Comments?"
It's been like 30 years since I've watched the show, but I don't remember April ever kicking that much ass. She seems to be one of the strongest fighters in this game. She has practically infinite ninja power because of her rapid attacks.
Yeah, why do we need the turtles at all?
@@hullie7529 Because the network can't afford to loss more equipment.
It's not infinite, the network losses a lot of money with all the equipment april uses as a weapon.
In next game we will discover that she is Master Splinters sister..
I think it's absolutely hilarious that April now has the same ninja training and vehicles as the turtles!
*shredders theme talks about how the turtles are no match for him*
April: Good thing im not a turtle
Damn that Chrome Dome Fight was a thing of beauty even with the 2 late rockets. Love how you did Wingnut too
April is the news reporter version of Chun Li
Funny that Chunli IS a reporter in the street fighter movie
@@creambee404 Funny how those 2 go hand n hand
@@creambee404 yeah but Chun li got unlucky fate than her
@@creambee404 Amen to that my brother, I love this version of her
Me: "Shredder! Give me back my pizza!"
Shredder: "Or else what?"

Wow april goes on a rampage like that with just a camera and a mic shows how harshly the media can beat the crap out of you in every beat of tv and entertainment!
1:29:12

Don't mind me. I'm just strolling through RUclips seeing if there's "any comments".
April with the mic drop after every victory 😄
Awesome skill, man, congrats!
Narrator (Me): No longer the Damsel In Distress, April has done vigorous training with Splinter-Sensei so she can protect herself from danger and threats.
18:37 - Bruh that was slick af
April and Raph are the best imo, speed and dmg output. Love this game.
April is good enough to save the world. The turtles can just do the reporting instead.
It turns out that April saved everyone this time... Funny. ) Of course, she hadn't fought before, but as others have already pointed out, she could have learned from Splinter. By the way, she was already the most beautiful April, and the fact that she knows how to fight makes her amazing!
She's clearly been training hard under Master Splinter's tutelage. GG for her.😊
Damn, I wish April would kick this much butt in the cartoons.
The Shredder, beaten by TV equipment.
Oh, really? Like it never happened in the show - he was kicked around by toddlers, teens, pregnant ladies, Vernon and Irma and etc. He never was really a threat (except season 1 and his last 3 episodes in red sky seasons).
God I love how they took a character literally incapable of protecting herself to goddess of death and destruction
Despite having the lowest attack power, April more than makes up for it with her high speed.
Players should use April's speed to their advantage as they hit enemies with rapid-fire attacks. They should also take care to stay on the move so they can better avoid getting hit by enemies.
Yep

Holy smokes, this is tmnt equivalent of Sonic Mania due to its retro feel
And both games have the same composer
@GoosyGooseMX that actually makes sense
@@GoosyGooseMX Making them all the more enjoyable.
April O'Neil is my favorite character in this game
2:32 "This is my workplace, My right to protect!"
Wait a Go! April!
News Reporter goes on a rampage. More at 10 pm.
Wow April Neil is doing great with those enemies
I wish they would remake Captain America and The Avengers like they did this game. I spent hours and a lot of quarters on both these games back in the day.
That's a really fun game! I played the SNES version a lot when I was a kid. I'd be happy if they just re-released it on modern platforms.
April is so helpless in the show, so Tribute decided to properly compensate her for all of that.

To have the full experience. Just need to get an Arcade Booth and nothing else matters.

“Any comments?”
Man it’s impressive skill,
Bought it just today😊
Another aspect of why April is deceptively strong is that her quick, multi-hitting strikes build meter VERY quickly...the later bosses are probably the only time I frequently taunt to fill the bar.
Yeah for sure, I juggle the dead bodies every once in a while just to quickly build some meter. Her rising kick is great for it.
@@iconoclast575 Hey, I've gotta question, how would you view everybody in a tier list, one for solo, and one for COOP?
@@iconoclast575 Yes, I've found that her up-kicks and her slide are both awesome tools for meter-building.
Badge of honor
Like Mikey, she has excellent speed.
The game is based of the original sprites and programation of the original arcades of Konami of the 90,s
This version of kick-ass April needs to be CANNON
I can see April training with a Master Splinter or even being a martial arts practioner before meeting the turtles
Plua this game does her justice
Henchmen can never catch a break can they.
They don't make them like this anymore... Except they just did. Also, you fight like a girl! ... Glad they made yellow suit April fight too.
13:55 lmao I dunno how often I missed thse kind of Pizza. The hit detection of some enemies and objects are so dreadful xD

But God said
"Any comments?"

After completing the game on Gnarly with every character, who would you say is your favorite to play as?
I still think April's probably the most fun just because she's so fast and can juggle enemies easily. I like Casey and Raph a lot too though.
I need to see a no damage gnarly clear in story mode please.
See You Next Time! Miss O'neil, Next time, I will avenge you!
Those rats were going crazy!
Since when can April O'Neil fight the bad guys? She's normally the damsel in distress in the 1987 tmnt series.
Any comments?😊
channel 6 gonna get ya
27:50 Try making a meme out of what April is actually reporting there. You might get a good laugh.
No April there are not any comments......stop asking
you ninja gaiden sigma was soooo cool
Don't mess with this ace reporter!!!
Ridiculous that a female reporter is able to beat up Shredder including is whole army. She was always being kidnapped.
I wish the game looked like the intro.
April O'Neil: This is for all those kidnappings you sonuva *horrific bone crunching sounds*
Leonardo: April, stop!
*all four turtles drag her away from a mangled Shredder*
Raphael: Sheesh, it's that time of the month, I guess.
Agood game!👍 & she is so strong.
April's sprite looks nice enough, but they could really improve her close-up art
Would love to see a tier list from OP.

April is wearing a yellow suit, Is she working at the carwash?
You know most female news reporters usually wear a jacket, a skirt and high-heeled shoes.
A DLC will most likely happen. The first DLC character will probably be Usagi Yojimbo.
Or the Punk Frogs.
@@Jarock316 Maybe. The ending will be changed if playing as one of them.
@@davidhill8565 sadly it's not

Because 16 bits are the best.
