Strengths

Weaknesses

Big Stick - The selling point of the character. When spaced properly, Donnie's giant moves can wall out your opponent and stuff approaches. With his range, he can maintain juggles very well, too.
Edgeguarding - Donnie's Electro Grenade can stuff opponents' recovery moves, and he can go as deep as he wants with aerials and teleport back to stage with his smoke bomb. Feel safe jumping headfirst off stage!
Movement Tricks - Moves like Dive Kick, Smoke Bomb, and a lengthy wavedash give Donnie surprising ways to out position his opponent.
Versatile Neutral Special - Electro Grenade opens up how tricky Donnie can be. Use it to protect yourself in neutral, set up punishes, edgeguard, and more.

Slow as a Turtle - Despite a handful of movement tricks and a good wavedash, Donnie is a slow character stat-wise.
Frame Data - The majority of Donnie's moves have high start up and aren’t safe on shield, so he can be at a disadvantage in scrapping and lacks good options for getting out of disadvantage. Fast characters can force him to commit and then whiff punish.
Big and Tall - Donnie’s a tall turtle with a big hurtbox compared to most of the cast. He has a habit of being grabbed out of his jump and will sometimes get clipped by moves that other characters can avoid with basic movement alone.
Exploitable Recovery - While Smoke Bomb is a versatile tool for getting back to stage, if your opponent doesn’t give you an opportunity to set it up, Donnie is forced to rely on Dive Kick and Sky Strike for his recovery. Both moves have their flaws and can result in Donnie losing stocks early.

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
9%	9	9-22	52	-5
Donnie swings his staff around himself in a circle. Big move that covers a decent area around Donnie in a full circle. Extremely useful move for starting and extending combos as it sets up for itself and other aerials well. Don’t try to force landings from disadvantage with this move, you will get punished.

Big Bonk
Forward+Light (Airborne)

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
12%	11	11-15	48	-3
Donnie does an overhead swing with his staff. One solid hit with no sweet spot hitboxes. Has a reverse hit at the beginning that will send behind Donnie. Great combo finisher and kill move.

Reverse Stun Thrust
Back+Light (Airborne)

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
15% / 8%	10	10-17	44	-2
Donnie swings his staff behind him. Has a tipper sweetspot that lasts around 2 frames on the tip of the staff. Tipper hitbox takes priority over other hitboxes. Tipper hitbox has a strong hit and everything else is a weak hit. Strong hit is a kill move. Weak hit is a move that can setup for juggles or combos. One of his safest poking aerials if spaced well. Great for stage spikes when you run off ledge to hit a recovering opponent.

Air Swipe
Up+Light (Airborne)

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
10% / 6%	7	7-25	45	-2
Donnie swipes his staff upwards. One of Donnie's best tools for juggling opponents and a huge part of Donnie’s combo game. Sets up for all of Donnie's aerials. Hitbox follows the staff so it starts at his torso before going upwards above his head. Complements well with Electro-Grenade for both juggles and neutral situations as you can keep the grenade active for as long as you can juggle it. If you drop through a platform the same time you hit someone with this move, you will land on that same platform. This also works when you hit an Electro-Grenade.

Downward Thrust
Down+Light (Airborne)

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
10% / 7%	10	10-14	40	-4
Donnie thrusts his staff downwards in order to spike opponents. Spike hitbox is only at the tip of the staff and is only active for two frames. Fairly small hitbox but it takes priority over other hitboxes when hitting multiple hitboxes at once. Hitting with any non-spike hitbox will send the opponent up and away instead. Donnie’s stubbiest aerial. Very strong spike and reliable kill option if you can hit the small sweetspot. Fast enough to auto cancel on short hop.

Ground Strong Attacks

Ground Smash
Strong

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
14% / 20%	18 / 22	18-20 / 22	58	-30 / -28
Donnie swings a giant hammer in front of him. First number in data is for the hit in front of Donnie. Second number is for the hit behind him on the back swing. Minimum charge hold is 11 frames. Hitbox is much shorter than it looks. Not great for anti-airing. Has no pushback on shield so it's not the greatest for forcing teeters.

Ground Smash (2nd hit)
Strong (Again)

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
10%	14	14-15	55	-35
Donnie swings a giant hammer downwards. Cannot be charged. Does not combo from the first hit at higher percents but hits harder. Massive hitbox that covers a wide area in front of Donnie. Does not hit below ledge but can catch recoveries that don't snap to ledge well. Has more pushback on shield than the first hit, but is very telegraphed that the opponent can easily parry, grab, or shield between the hits.

Pole Kick
Up+Strong

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
18% / 10%	12	12-26	69	-23
Donnie launches himself upwards with a kick that leaves him airborne. Minimum charge hold is 7 frames. Strong anti-air that covers the area directly above Donnie. Donnie can cancel the animation starting around frame 31 but he will be left airborne. He can act earlier around frame 21 if he hits an opponent or an Electro-Grenade. Can be turned around during the charge release animation. This can create a DI mixup. Slime cancelling the initial hit will keep Donnie grounded. This can allow for a grab while the opponent is in blockstun/hitstun.

Pivot Swipe
Down+Strong

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
13%	9	9-24	44	-23
Donnie sweeps his leg around him to hit his opponent. Minimum charge hold is 5 frames. This move will always send behind Donnie regardless of which side hit. The strength doesn't change between which side hits and has low knockback compared to his other strongs. Does not hit below ledge but can catch recoveries that don't snap to ledge well causing stage spikes. Has the most shield pushback of his strong attacks making it the best move to force ledge teeters with.

Down+Special

CAPTION PLACEHOLDER

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	0	0-0	0	-0
Donatello quickly launches himself upwards with his turtle glider, hitting opponents along the way. DESCRIPTION PLACEHOLDER

Grab/Throws

Grab
Grab

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
0%	7	7-8	34	-
Donnie reaches forward attempting to grab his opponent. Stubby and punishable on whiff due to the length of the animation. Has a tendency to whiff on shorter characters.

Dash Grab
Grab (Running)

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
0%	10	10-11	42	-
Donnie attempts to grab his opponent while running forward. Slower and more punishable on whiff than regular grab while being about the same size. You can cancel your dash with either jump or shield into grab in order to avoid getting dash grab.

Grab Pummel
Light (Grabbing)

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
1%	9	-	17	-
Donnie slams his opponent on the ground behind him. Reference to the TMNT beat-em-up arcade games. Each pummel will do 1%. If your opponent mashes out, they will always be released in front of Donnie.

Up Throw
Up (Grabbing)

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
9%	14, 23	23-34	50	-
Donnie tosses his opponent up and hits them with his staff. The opponent is thrown on frame 14 and then hit with the staff on frame 23. Donnie's primary kill throw. Kills earlier the closer you are to the edge of the stage. The hit with the staff has traditional hitboxes so it can hit Electro-Grenade and other opponents during doubles or free for alls. Donnie is intangible until frame 35.

Forward Throw
Forward (Grabbing)

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8%	16	-	28	-
Donnie spins around and tosses his opponents forward. Another reference to the TMNT beat-em-up arcade games. Donnie's fastest throw in both startup and total frames. This throw is useful to throw someone offstage and can even kill at higher percents near the edge of the stage. Up Throw is technically a better kill throw, but Forward Throw can sometimes mix up their DI due to being faster. Donnie is invincible during the entire throw animation.

Down Throw
Down (Grabbing)

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8%	0	-	47	-
Donnie throws his opponent into the ground before body slamming them with his shell. Donnie's combo throw. Setups for most of his primary combo tools in Light Up Air, Down Light, and Light Neutral Air. Opponents can DI behind Donnie in order to get sent backwards but Donnie can still follow up for a combo. Donnie is invincible during the entire throw animation.

Back Throw
Back (Grabbing)

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
9%	18	-	44	-
Donnie slams his opponent behind him. Looks like his pummel which could create niche DI mixups. Donnie's weakest throw knockback wise and does not setup for combos. Sees the least amount of use of his throws. Primarily used to throw someone offstage. Donnie is invincible during the entire throw animation.

Super

Turtle Shell Drift
Slime+Light

"Watch the paint!"

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
40%	26	26	119	-93
Donnie's Ultimate Attack which involves Donnie chasing his opponent with the Turtle Van and shooting them with cannons mounted on the van. Like all Ultimate Attacks, costs 3 bars of slime and your opponent is unable to burst out of hitstun. Super flash comes out on frame 26 and if they aren't blocking by the time the super flash occurs, they are going to get hit. Donnie is invulnerable during the start up of this move but is punishable after the super flash if it whiffs.

Taunts

Neutral Taunt
Taunt

"Processing!"

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
0%	-	-	102	-
Donnie looks around with a magnifying glass processing his surroundings.

Down Taunt
Down+Taunt

"Come on! Fixed!"

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
0%	-	-	117	-
Donnie attempts to fix a device before hitting it with his hand and then declares it fixed. The little hit to the device does not have a hitbox.

Up Taunt
Up+Taunt

"Dude, I could be gaming."

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
0%	-	-	163	-
Donnie pulls out a handheld console and plays a game before getting upset and spiking the handheld into the ground. Makes Donnie's hurtbox shorter while playing the game but there isn't a whole lot of practical application to it due to the length of the taunt. He's sitting down for about 120 frames.
