I think the shifted angle of Splinter's head makes the whole thing look much improved!

Woah, I'm so impressed Rocksteady already has a functional character pack. LOVE the sound clips especially!

HERES THE PROGRESS SO FAR. i changed some things last minute and it actually came out great. As for the strikers...if you happen to fight one of dcat's turtles..april will come out instead. neat huh!
Love the preview video and all the streams are appreciated. The context-aware swapping out of a turtle striker for April is brilliant!

One thing I might recommend is making Splinter's snout a little longer and slightly droopy in side profiles like the bow, to keep him more "on model" and look a bit less like a dog. It's not a noticeable problem in most attacks, but for something like the bow, it would be a good opportunity to try and match it up. Maybe tilt the ears back a bit too in the full standing position.
These might help for reference...

That spin looks so elegant! I'd say you're still at the top of your spriting game, dcat!
Kinda funny to think about semi-pacifist Splinter with moves as brutal as a neck snap, but I'm not complaining!

I am loving DJ_HANNIBALROYCE's live stream of the Splinter coding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNaXxN582lQ
Here's some panels from a 1994 Japan exclusive comic of April smashing into folks with the Turtle Van:
And here's a Spain-exclusive book that adapts an episode of the classic cartoon series:

Seriously, though, work on the stuff that makes you happy. I always appreciate your post, and I wouldn't be nearly as interested in the MUGEN community, if it wasn't for all your contributions over the years. I'm thankful you have shared as many April sprites and animations as you have.
I sent you a PM which I think you'll appreciate!

You could probably incorporate some scratch based super as well, like Wolverine? just some thoughts, new attacks look great!
I would love some Cat Mutant April references! Maybe she gets a "super mutant" state for a few seconds and calls in a tiger to assist her like in the episode?

She could swing her mic in simillar fashion to relento rotates his baton.
This is good kinda like a horizontal spin attack that does multi-hit. Ooh like Jojo's clacker attack. and she could maybe get a bit acrobatic with it like a baton or ribbon twirler. Varied button presses for different strengths kinda like Fei-Long's Rekka Fist in Street Fighter, Yes!
Hey, here's an overkill idea...
April riding her newsbike and swinging her mic cord around like Ghost Rider!

I've got some screencaps of her purple NewsBike from an episode where they introduce Casey Jones I think
Great start! Besides "Casey Jones: Outlaw Hero," other episodes I remember that feature the News Bike are "Burne's Blues" (briefly), "Mr. Nice Guy" (she looks really cool in that one), and "Attack of Big MACC" (doesn't wear her safety helmet in that one).
The coloring mistake on the bike's rear fender!
I put this together a few years back just as a tribute to April's amazing road skills:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6njxdpe4qs89azg/Speed_Reporter-April_O%2527Neil.wmv/file
I wanted to work in a little of her helicopter skills (both flying and maintenance) but couldn't fit the song length.
EDIT:
Maybe give her a super from the TMNT cartoon when she was evil https://youtu.be/s4exK1hg04I at around the 1:47 mark she'll glow blue and will shoot lightning across the stage.
There is a classic toon parallel of evil energy-blasting April, seen in the "Lost Queen of Atlantis" episode where April wears a mystic cult gem which makes her believe she is an ancient Atlantis Queen and gives her all the powers associated with the title:

Classic April always showed aptitude for driving and operating heavy machinery so I'd love to see her utilizing the News Van, News bike, and News helicopter in her specials.
