A Theoretical TMNT Fighting game: a Rant

 Tournament Fighters was a decent fighter... not as great as say, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, but it was decent... so. I was thinking:
What if, we got a spiritual successor to Tournament Fighters, butthe roster is based on the Vintage Toyline. Panda Khan and Usagi not being available for rights issues.

Well, that's my dream: a 2D fighting game using 3D graphics with the following TMNT Characters:
Leonardo
Donatello
Raphael
Michelangelo
Splinter 
April
Shredder
Foot Soldier
Rocksteady 
Bebop
Krang (in his android body)
Baxter Stockman
Casey Jones
Genghis Frog
Ace Duck
Traag
Leatherhead
Rat King
Metalhead
Pizzaface
Wingnut
Scumbug
Triceraton
Mondo Gecko
Napoleon Bonafrog
Muckman
Mutagen Man
Slash
Ray Fillet
Groundchuck
Dirtbag
Tokka
Rahzar
Chrome Dome 
Walkabaout
Tattoo
Sgt. Bananas
Wyrm
Anthrax
Dr. El
Hothead
Monty Moose
Scaletail 
Merdude
Mona Lisa
Scratch
Robotic Bebop
Robotic Rocksteady 
Half court
Hotspot
Sandstorm
Zak
Kala
Dask
Vernon
Irma
Burne
Shogun Shoate
Super Shredder 
Karai

Best part is that being 3D it allows for "costumes" for example:
Donatello could be Vanilla, Undercover, Slam Dunk, 90s movie; while Shredder can be Toy, Toon, Wacky Action, Mirage, 90s movie. Genghis could have an "Atilla" skin while Napoleon has a "Rasputin" skin.

I'm thinking 4 attack buttons. No Super Moves, instead, all characters get a Desperation move. It only works once per fight and requires extremely low health to pull off. Special moves would be based on the toys, so April and Vernon have guns. Pizzaface flings Pizzas, etc.

Some of the stages could be based on the vintage playsets. The idea is to showcase a lovelettwr to the original line and a sneaky way for say, Super7 bypass the Playmates embargo.
