Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl/April O'Neil

Story

This is April O'Neil reporting for Channel 6 News!

A Passionate and Spunky News Reporter working for Channel 6 news, April O'Neil will be the damsel in distress to turtles no longer! She'll pummel the competition with her trusty Microphone and a variety of studio equipment in the Brawl! Good thing for her she can catch the latest scoop on the characters after her beatdown.

Gameplay

April is a glass-cannon type character with a unique meter that empowers her Neutral Special (5P), "Breaking News!," called "Ratings Meter."

"Ratings Meter:" When April strikes opponents with an attack that has a camera flash, her Ratings Meter increases. She can spend her Ratings Meter to deal increased damage. Her Ratings Meter can be checked by looking at the purple stars that circle her microphone.

Pose, Pose, Pose! Down Strong (2S), Aerial Pose, Pose, Pose! Jump Down Strong (j2S), and On The Air! Down Special (2P) increase Ratings Meter. Her Neutral Special (5P), "Breaking News!" uses all her Ratings Meter to deal spectacular damage.

If you want to hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast, then this reporter will give you the scoop on how to do it!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Aggressive Journalism: While not classified as a rushdown character, April can easily overwhelm her opponent with her deceptive reach and On The Air! placed strategically to force a reaction from anyone who doesn't want to feed your meter.
Reporter Girl Sweep: Her Down Light attack can be comboed into itself to rack up a lot of early damage

Watch your ratings: For all the work it takes to raise your rating, one whiffed Breaking News! will let all that hard work go to waste as it is expended regardless if you hit your opponent or not.
Predictable Game Plan: April has a very linear plan of attack: raise the rating meter and go for the kill. Any experienced opponent will see this coming a mile away and do everything to stop you from doing that or make you blow your chance.
