Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2/Geronimo

Geronimo

Story

Geronimo is a young Cherokee Choujin who looks up to his idols, the Justice Choujins, and longed to fight alongside them. He got his wish during the Golden Mask arc, where a scheme by the Devil Knights left the majority of the Justice Choujin community incapacitated, giving him his chance to step up and jump into the ring. However, Geronimo hides a tragic secret: He's no Choujin at all, and is actually just regular human! Because of this, he did not have the trademark Choujin resilience, and he ended up succumbing to his wounds. He was soon brought back to life, and given the opportunity to go through the trials of the Choujin Gods to become an actual Choujin. Now a superhuman like he always dreamed of, Geronimo...did not do much after his rebirth, frankly. He would go on to be one of the original series' most notorious jobbers, losing a whole lot to hype up the new bad guy of the season, to the point that this trend was even acknowledged in the revival series (where he does finally get that long-awaited W).

Gameplay

Geronimo is an all-rounder with a gameplan resembling Kinnikuman rather closely; in other words, he is incentivized to "play MGP2", with rewarding confirms into his throws and OTGs, and a lessened emphasis on juggles. His 2A is an incredible neutral poke, being able to go under throws and combo-ing into a large number of moves, potentially for big damage with enough meter spent. His OTG options, while not stellar, are more than serviceable. On top of all of this, Geronimo is one of 3 characters with a healing special, and although it costs more meter than its counterparts, it also heals substantially more life, and can be clutch for winning by time-out.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Excellent 2A. Solid OTG combo. Has a healing special.	Meter-hungry juggles for below average return. Combos are susceptible to True KKD activation.

This is Geronimo's only throw punish, and considering neutral A's somewhat slow startup, this can be rather strict. Little reason to use this as a throw punish though, considering Geronimo would typically prefer to crush the throw with his much more rewarding 2A.

On hit, this combos into (Medium Stun) Throw, S, either of Geronimo's special throws, or it can be CCC'd into either super. The high reward on hit, and the ability to simply charge cancel the move on block/whiff, makes this one of Geronimo's most important pokes. Cancelling this move into 46S is also Geronimo's go-to OTG combo. Special must be buffered before frame 48, but will come out on frame 30.

This move is actually made up of a physical hitbox that does no damage, into a multi-hitting tornado projectile. Both the physical hit and the projectile does MS. On standing hit, 1 hit will MS, 2 hits will HS, and 3 hits will cause a high-launch/SKD, albeit a tech-rollable one; it will properly SKD an opponent when used in a juggle. Data above assumes all 3 hits connect. As one of Geronimo's only moves that SKD, comboing into this is a typical way for Geronimo to end his juggles in order to score a knockdown. 46S is also great as a juggle extender, since on air hit, this move sends the opponent upwards, letting Geronimo to continue his juggle. This allows him to loop 46S, provided he has the meter for it. This move is also used as an OTG, typically cancelled into from 2A.

Geronimo regains life in 24-frame intervals, healing for 240 life in total if the entire move's "active" frames go uninterrupted. The values listed under "Damage" is the amount Geronimo heals at each inteval. This is one of only 3 healing moves in the entire game, healing almost double that of Mr. Khamen's and Akuma Shogun's healing specials, but costing far more, at 7 bars. Unlike the other healing specials, Geronimo's 421S has no invincibility at all; this means Geronimo can get punished heavily for it, since on top of a throw, an opponent can get a full standing combo or a launcher on him.
