CDH Raph vs NM Venus
Oh this is fun because, instead of ninja vs ninja it's kind of Superhero vs Witch (sort of?)! They both have mysterious powers that can kind of be anything depending on what the plot allows!
Raphael is clever, a little more reserved, sort of living in a weird in-between land of Mirage's bloodlust and 87's living for wordplay. His fighting is really difficult to analyze but he's not as bad as Michelangelo. I can at least say he's observant about his surroundings. Thank you Raph for having a comedic dynamic with Leonardo such that I can at least glean something from it. I will not rig the poll against you like I did your brother but all you Super Turtles are on some thin ice
Venus, my girl! She's highly disciplined, and very motivated by the idea of doing the right thing. If he goes for wordplay he might confuse her, English is not her first language and she really hates feeling left out. However, if he goes for his Super Turtle form, I think her magic (which can throw people) and her goo balls (which he'll get stuck in) will easily earn her a victory.
So it does kinda depend on how Raph chooses to start. I feel skill leans a little more Venus's direction, but it's hard to say. Could be anyone's fight
Last year Raph's first opponent was Jennika. Kinda fun/cool how there are so few girl turtles ever and he has somehow only been in two rounds and fought a girl both times. Not sure exactly what it means but it's statistically unlikely
Who will advance?
CDH Raph
NM Venus
