Story

Tonight I dine on turtle soup!

The notorious arch-nemesis of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Shredder was added to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl via a free update on February 3rd, 2022. Previously the student of Hamato Yoshi, the vengeful Oroku Saki is now the leader of the criminal organization known as the Foot Clan.

Gameplay

Shredder is a complete offensive powerhouse. His kit gives him extremely powerful rushdown tools with one of the best Neutral Airs in the game and an extremely oppressive combo game, meaning once he gets in, your stock could be gone in a second. He is also very fast, and due to his size he has very big hitboxes. If you're the type of player that wants to completely mow down your opponent, Shredder is for you!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Incredible damage output. Shredder hits like a truck. This can be improved even more by using Super Charge. A charged Strong Up Air does 58%. Fantastic pressure game that'll keep the opponent on their toes and scared to make mistakes. Very fast character for his size which allows him to rushdown opponents much better than his contemporaries. Great air speed that allows him to quickly combo Light Neutral Air several times. Excellent strong dash. Very quick at Frame 7 and has combo potential.

Shredder is huge, and comboing him isn't too difficult. He is also a midweight, so he won't live for long if he gets vortexed. A good majority of his offensive options, such as Light Neutral Air and Neutral Special, are unsafe on block. Shredder can get punished quite hard by good out of block options. This combined with a lack of a projectile means his approach options are usually predictable. His multi-hit moves can be DI'd or spaced so that the opponent can fall out of them. This is most apparent with Light Neutral Air, Light Up Air and Up Strong. Some of Shredder's tools are average or below average: Horrible grab. Bad light dash. Frame 16 and -30 on block.

Moves List

Light Attacks

Alternating Arm Slash
5L / Neutral Light

"Left! Right!"

A quick jab with both fists. Not a great move, it has okay speed (f6) but doesn't do much damage.

Uppercut
8L / Up Light

"I can do this too, Turtles!"

A fast uppercut, similar to the Turtles. Can be used to combo into his Light Neutral Air.

Ground Sweep
2L / Down Light

"No, I don't know what he's doing either."

A rather strange spin move where Shredder sticks his arms out. Pretty unsafe on block.

Sliding Uppercut
66L / Run Light

"AURA CRUSHER!"

Use this move to lose the game.

Jumping/Air Light Attacks

Spinning Shred
j5L / Jump Light

"Spin2Win"

Shredder's main combo tool. A fast, spinning multi-hit that racks up damage extremely fast. When all hits connect it does ~20%.

Frenetic Hold
j8L / Jump Up Light

"Back, you hungry hand!"

One of Shredder's main combo finishers. While it can be DI'd out of, if the last hit connects it will lead to a kill at high %.

Spin Kick
j2L / Jump Down Light

"This is but a taste of my power!"

A rather lazy descending kick. Has a pretty small hitbox, but has it's uses as both an edgeguarding tool and a combo tool.

Strong Attacks

Zap Strike
5S / Neutral Strong

"I see you! ZAP!"

Shredder uses an electric spear to launch his opponent. Does great damage and knockback, but is quite unsafe on block as a trade-off.

Spear Flurry
8S / Up Strong

"Slice and Dice"

Shredder uses a spear to send you into orbit. Good kill move, but the sweetspot being in the middle means it has a bad tendency for all of the hits to not completely connect.

Lightning Strike
2S / Down Strong

""

A downwards slash with both hands. Great damage but weak killpower.

Whirling Blades
66S / Run Strong

"PSYCHO CRUSHER!"

Very reminiscent of another bad guy. This move is extremely fast and is great to confirm from.

Jumping/Air Strong Attacks

Sword Slash
j5S / Jump Neutral Strong

""

An outwards slash with a sword. One of his safer strongs on block (-5), and a good kill move.

Takedown
j8S / Jump Up Strong

"If I'm going down..."

Shredder grabs the opponent before launching downwards with them. This move is unique in that it's a command grab. With Super Charge installed this does a ton of damage, around 58%.

Cross Slash
j2S / Jump Down Strong

"...I'm taking you with me!"

Similar to Aerial Up Strong except Shredder simply dives down. Very unsafe on block, but is good as a ledgetrap.

Special Attacks

Slash Burst
5P / Neutral Special

"Nothing super about this!"

Shredder charges at the opponent. This move travels very fast across the stage and is one of his primary approach options.

Slashing Whirlwind
8P / Up Special

"Huy! Huy! Huy!"

Shredder ascends by slashing upwards four times. Has great vertical distance, but is rather linear.

Super Charge
2P / Down Special

"TONIGHT I DINE ON TURTLE SOUP!"

A charge move that increases Shredder's damage output. The effect lasts for three strong attacks, no matter if they whiff or not.

Taunt

Taunt
214 + P

"Channeling his inner Joe Higashi"

Shredder puts his hand out and then gives a thumbs down.
