Donatello is probably the strangest | Donatello is probably the strangest “normal” character in Tournament Fighters. It certainly feels like he just had moves thrown onto him just to complete the character. Leo is inspired by Ryu, Raph by Bison, Mike by Blanka (Or really just a charge shoto) and Don is like "Oh hey, we dont have E. Honda and some Chun li in there, slap their moves on this last one." Even his normals feel like a hybridization of the other three turtles. Don was probably made last of the quartet and they just "plugged and fit" his moves. He is really an enigma with no clear archetype. A good understanding of neutral and when to use his fantastic pokes is required to fully take advantage of this character. Don is considered the third best turtle of the four. He excels in up-close combat, but generally struggles from full screen. Not unlike the other turtles, Don’s general game plan depends on the matchup, but he almost always wants to get in and harass. Most of his harassment includes the use of his strong standing HP, quick crouching LK, and Bo Thrust while simultaneously building meter for his awesome super to either get free chip, or turn the tide of the match. | ||

Introduction
Donatello is probably the strangest “normal” character in Tournament Fighters. It certainly feels like he just had moves thrown onto him just to complete the character. Leo is inspired by Ryu, Raph by Bison, Mike by Blanka (Or really just a charge shoto) and Don is like "Oh hey, we dont have E. Honda and some Chun li in there, slap their moves on this last one." Even his normals feel like a hybridization of the other three turtles. Don was probably made last of the quartet and they just "plugged and fit" his moves. He is really an enigma with no clear archetype. A good understanding of neutral and when to use his fantastic pokes is required to fully take advantage of this character. Don is considered the third best turtle of the four. He excels in up-close combat, but generally struggles from full screen. Not unlike the other turtles, Don’s general game plan depends on the matchup, but he almost always wants to get in and harass. Most of his harassment includes the use of his strong standing HP, quick crouching LK, and Bo Thrust while simultaneously building meter for his awesome super to either get free chip, or turn the tide of the match.
Quirks & Tech
Heavy Bo Thrust can be done by simply doing the inputs LP, HP, HP. This makes it safer to do in neutral as there's no risk of whiffing heavy punch.
