That's right, April is here and she is quite honestly very different from anyone else in the game. Being the first and only character with a counter means you have to approach her far differently than you're typical fighter. Big thanks to Scribbly Gryphon for getting the spriting done and bigger thanks to Rachel Johnston for the voices
I thought Casey Jones was the char you were gonna add from the Genesis version. She looks nice though. The spriter did a good job of meshing her sprites with Aska's to give her the SNES look. Looking pretty beef from her Genesis version. Dat counter tho. She can even counter projectiles and get a wall bounce off it. Yikes! That is definitely gonna make you think twice about how you go at her. Is she CS'd? Looks like her eyes are at least.
She's actually pretty well CS'd yeah. I'll post her pals later on when I have time. Yeah the projectile counter is her omega version which counters everything but supers and leads to a wall stick.edit - colors:Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Love the 4Kids, Rise of TMNT, and Clone/Zombie palettes!Is the all white outfit a shout out to Blaze in Streets of Rage 3, since the Sega version of April already resembled her so much?
Oh nice. Does her headband share with her gloves? I don't see any pals that have them different colors. I really just like it overall when a chars mouth and eyes don't share with their clothes/skin. She's good to go on that front.

As you know this game has a bit of lore behind it. Some of that lore may or may not be given when two character fight each other in arcade mode. Here's April vs everyone in the game.
I can't believe I forgot to record an arcade run with her. Well here it is. I hope this dispels the other "april is just aska" rumors going around lol
