Talk:TMNT vs Koopalings/@comment-205.222.248.149-20150610134944

While I very highly doubt there was any bias in this result and had logical reasons for the TMNT's win, I disagree with the outcome. Both are near equal in terms of skill, intellect,  weaponary, and both have superhuman abilites.

It all comes down to the weak link, and for the TMNT, it's Donatello. While having an IQ of freakin' 637 (More than twice that of Tails), he'd struggle immensly with killing any of the Koopa Kids (all have survived getting dunked into lava TWICE in one game, and getting crushed by Bowser's Castle. Good luck trying to bludegon someone with that durability, let alone 7 people, to death), especially after one of them breaks his bo staff in half, rendering his switchblade useless. Granted, depending on the location and if he has time, he could build a machine or come up with a genius strategy, but he's still more likely to die first.

With Donnie's death, that would expose another weak link: Raphael. When any of his siblings die, he goes into a berserk rage, skewering anyone and anything. While he could brute force his way through one or two Koopalings, his recklessnes would cost him his life.

And with his pals down, Michelango would bring on his A game. I agree with you; despite appearances, he's an extremely able fighter when he gets serious. But he suffers a similar weakness as Donatello; his nunchucks would have a hard time killing a magority of the Koopa Kids (good luck rying to strangle someone like Roy or Morton).

Finally, that leaves good ol' Leonardo, and while he has made it through impossible situations, with his brothers down, that exposes his primary weakness; failure to keep his family safe. He would still keep fighting, and probably kill another Koopa Kid, but he'll be outnumbered and crushed.

Finally, the Koopalings are much more unpredictable with their wide arrangement of abilites, while the TMNT usually have just one weapon.

But, hey, just my opinion.
