|description= Fast, amazing jab with massive reward on hit. Will always lead into a tech-chase scenario up to mid percents (40-60 range depending on weight). Because the hitbox encompasses her entire body, she can cover both roll, neutral get up, and most characters get up attacks at the ledge all at once (given the proper spacing) and still tech-chase off it. The hitbox is slightly disjointed around her entire body too, making it hard to challenge without trading in her favor. Even if the opponent gets hit behind her, they still get sent in front of her as if they got hit from the front.

|Special Properties=
|description= A traditional spike that just so happens to also hit on both sides of her. Great when used in tandem with an airdash on opponents trying to shark you thanks to the fast startup and immediate knockdown. All hitboxes of this move will spike as well, meaning the opponent can be above you, but as long as a pixel of their hurtbox is in your waist they'll be spiked. Like Leonardo's, it combos into itself, guaranteeing death on contact. Fun fact: because '''Blimp''' doesn't lose too much recoverability on use, you can go for at least 5 j.2Ls off stage and still recover safely without using your airdash.

|description= Very fast, very active, high reward, and '''VERY''' hard to avoid on reaction at optimal spacing. Like her dash light attack, this move is also faster than most characters dashes, making closing the gap much easier, and with a very active disjoint to boot. When hitting a blocking opponent towards the end of the move, the pushback makes April extremely safe on block, even making Leonardo's fastest normals whiff on her. The pushback by itself is pretty good too, and can force an unsuspecting opponent to teeter at the ledge at distances they wouldn't expect. With any ratings level 66S -> 5P is a true combo at low percents.

Pretty good recovery move thanks to large amount of time you can stay attached to the blimp. Where this move really shines is when used offensively. When edgeguarding, you can cover all your opponents recovery options and use '''Blimp''' to react to their low option with j.2L. As a high recovery, this is one of the best, thanks to being actionable as soon as frame 16 after pressing 8P. As a low option, it's good because you can literally get spiked, use j.8P out of the blast zone and under the stage where you can't get spiked, double jump, and airdash to the ledge, thanks to keeping your air actions.

Amazing and non committal "wall" type projectile that uniquely cannot be grabbed or reflected. If the actual camera portion of the move hits the opponent, it puts them into a techable state. Ticks from the light coming out of the camera give April ratings, making this move worth respecting at all times. It can also be freely replaced anywhere, anytime at no penalty to April. When falling from the top, not only does this move stall her momentum like an air strong attack, but it also falls at the same time as her with a hitbox that forces a knockdown, making it hard to reach her if the April player plays around the camera. As for the downsides, this move is treated as if hitting an actual player when hit by dash attacks, meaning the opponent can cancel the dash into anything, like a grab, jump, or another attack.

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 stars that circle her microphone. When they are purple the ratings meter is fully charged.

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. She also has a multitude of fast and active moves to choose from to harass her opponents.
  • Reporter Girl Sweep: Her Down Light attack can be comboed into itself to rack up a lot of early damage
  • Explosive Comebacks: Because of the extreme damage of Breaking News! and amazing combo potential, she can turn a 3-to-1 stock game to a 1-to-1 stock game with the right reads.
  • Edgeguarding: Although defensively Blimp can seem a tad weaker due to the lack of a hitbox unlike other characters, it really shines when used offensively. April can easily go off stage and cover several different options then use Blimp to react to/reposition herself to secure a kill, all while still having plenty of Blimp left for her to recover herself.
  • Outzone the Zoners: Max ratings April is the scariest character in the game, which will lead most opponents to avoid her On the Air! or Pose Pose Pose! moves. On the Air! alone immediately forces her opponent to either feed April ratings, or predictably jump over the camera to reach her. She is also free to repeatedly refresh On the Air! too without fear of the opponent reflecting it back with strong attacks or throws, as it goes away on hit with no penalty to April and cannot be grabbed.
  • Watch Your Ratings: Despite being spammable due to having super armor, try not to whiff Breaking News! as you will lose 1 level for whiffing.
  • Read-Based Combos: Many of April's air combos can be DI'd in or out to escape, leading to her having to read the opponents DI to do any significant damage in the air. On the ground, most of her combos rely on the opponent missing their tech, and many of her moves put the opponent in a techable state, forcing her to guess whether they will roll outwards or inwards if the opponent hits their techs.
  • On the Air: Despite being amazing at everything else, if the opponent is willing to feed April ratings and dash attack her camera, they can then cancel the dash attack into anything as if they hit an actual opponent; if April isn't prepared, the opponent can simply dash attack -> grab through her cameras, or even jump cancel the dash attack to air-to-air her for trying to jump out of the way.

66L / Run Light
NASB april dash light.png
Nice dash dance, nerd
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
8% 5 5 - 13 37 -28

Very fast, very active dash light.

  • Being faster than most characters' dashes making it extremely hard to outspace on reaction.
  • Although amazing by itself, it's actually just a worse version of her own dash strong. It also shares the property of sending the opponent at an awkward-downwards angle to recover from.

j5L / Jump Light
NASB april aerial light mid.png
Shades of Sheik
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
8% 5 5 - 7 24 -6

Long reaching, fast neutral light.

Spin Kick
j8L / Jump Up Light
NASB april aerial light up.png
This move looks like that one guys move from that one game
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
8% 5 5 - 7 22 -6

An upward spin kick hitting above her. Another one of many fast moves April has.

  • Excels at racking up damage on opponents who have lost their double jump and/or airdash. As long as you keep reading your opponent's DI you can chain these until death.


Heel Kick
j2L / Jump Down Light
NASB april aerial light down.png
Safety scissors spike
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
10% 5 5 - 7 35 -6

A traditional spike that just so happens to also hit on both sides of her.

  • Hitbox extends up to her waist and can still spike.
  • Great when used in tandem with an airdash on opponents trying to shark you thanks to the fast startup and immediate knockdown.

Overhead Recording
5S / Neutral Strong
NASB april strong mid.png
The only things being recorded here are your tears and agony
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
14% 17 17 - 21 50 -17

Long reaching, disjointed, fast, and very active neutral strong.

  • Will ALWAYS knock the opponent in front of her, even from behind.
  • Fairly weak knockback even at high %s.
  • Good for commanding space in neutral thanks to the disjoint.


Take Notes!
8S / Up Strong
NASB april strong up.png
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
13% 13 13 - 18 47 -17

High knockback up strong attack.

  • Very lackluster when compared to every other strong she has in both range and speed, making this situationally good in calling out an opponent doing jump down strong.


Pose Pose Pose!
2S / Down Strong
NASB april strong down.png
Better up strong than her up strong
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
9%, 10%, 12% 12, 21, 30 12-13, 21-22, 30-31 48 -19, -15, -7

High damage, disjointed down strong attack.

NASB april dash strong.png
"Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same."
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
13% 7 7 - 18 45 -29

Very fast, very active, high reward, and VERY hard to avoid on reaction at optimal spacing.

  • Faster than her own dash and most other characters dashes.
  • If blocked near the end of the active frames, additional pushback is added making it safe.
  • The pushback by itself is pretty good too, and can force an unsuspecting opponent to teeter at the ledge at distances they wouldn't expect.


Jumping/Air Strong Attacks

j5S / Jump Neutral Strong

The wall

Aerial Take Notes!

Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
13% 13 13 - 18 47 -8

High knockback aerial up strong.

  • Slows aerial momentum
  • Great when you know you caught the opponents jump and airdash during jump light chains, as this kills quite early off the top.


Aerial Pose Pose Pose!
j2S / Jump Down Strong
NASB april aerial strong down.png
Who needs a drone for photos when you've got April
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
9%, 10%, 12% 12, 22, 31 12-13, 22-23, 31-32 48 -6, -1, +3

All around good aerial down strong.

Special Attacks

Breaking News!
5P / Neutral Special
NASB april special mid.png
Should've teched that jab that covered 90% of your ledge options, bud
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
0 - 30% (scales with ratings level) 19 19 - 23 47 -9

The character defining move.

  • Deals increased damage and knockback for every ratings level
  • Loses one ratings level on whiff
  • Has super armor at levels 1-3 on frame 1-6, making this a move you can use on reaction to other slow moves, or even as a real out of block option. Because it has super armor and not invincibility however, you can grab April out of this move.
  • One of her best kill confirms comes from jab reset -> max ratings Breaking News! anywhere on the stage.


Blimp
8P / Up Special
NASB april special up.png
Spike me once, shame on you, spike me twice, shame on me!
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
- - - - -

Pretty good recovery move thanks to large amount of time you can stay attached to the blimp.

  • As a high recovery, this is one of the best, thanks to being actionable as soon as frame 16 after starting the move.
  • Does not lose air actions after use, unlike mot other recoveries.
  • Capable of going in any direction with decent air mobility.


On The Air!
2P / Down Special
NASB april special down.png
Hollywood here we come
Damage Startup Frames Active Frames Total Frames Safety
3% falling, 1% per tick 21 21 - 199 60 -

Amazing and non committal "wall" type projectile that uniquely cannot be grabbed or reflected.

  • Gains half a rating per tick
  • Can be refreshed at any point, anywhere on the screen
  • Treated as hitting an opponent if hit by dash attacks
  • If the actual camera portion of the move hits the opponent, it puts them into a techable state.
  • When falling from the top, not only does this move stall her momentum like an air strong attack, but it also falls at the same time as her with a hitbox that forces a knockdown, making it hard to reach her if the April player plays around the camera.
