Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2/Buffaloman

Buffaloman

Story

In the past, Buffaloman was once just another frustrated Choujin desperate for power, which led him to make a deal with literal Satan to obtain his infamous 10,000,000 Choujin power level in exchange for killing in his name. As the average Choujin power level was around 1,000,000 during the point in the series when he is introduced, Buffaloman is purportedly 10 times stronger than the average Choujin. In the present day, Buffaloman would act as the de facto leader of the 7 Devil Choujins, a faction of brutal, evil Choujins with Satan as their benefactor (though the hierarchy of this organization would be somewhat vague and soft-retconned several times). Despite this role in a decidedly villainous group, Buffaloman is still at his core an honorable fighter just looking for a good, clean fight. After having a change of heart, Buffaloman would sacrifice himself to resurrect the Justice Choujins his squad killed off. Eventually, he himself would be resurrected by Satan to continue serving him, but Buffaloman immediately decided to switch sides to the Justice Choujins instead. Buffaloman fights with his great strength and his signature longhorns, which he uses to charge at and gore enemies. Despite this, Buffaloman does get his longhorns snapped off somewhat frequently, severely weakening his fighting capability, though he would usually end up getting it fixed one way or another.

Gameplay

Buffaloman is perhaps the character that most fulfills the traditional "big body grappler" role in this game, with some very slow buttons and poor normal throw range, but also with a high damage potential. For example, Buffaloman's fastest standard attack, or in other words his "jab", is 18f startup, where the average character has a 12f or 13f jab. However, when Buffaloman, gets the hit, even if it's only with his jab, he hits hard. His throws do a lot of damage, and his key throws and knockdowns guarantee Buffaloman's great OTG attack. Put together, Buffaloman routinely get damage in the high 300s just from his throws. As a cherry on top, he has a very meter-costly but at the same time extremely damaging juggle loop, which he can start midscreen off of even his jab, that can do nearly 800 damage with the right circumstances. While Buffaloman might spend a good portion of rounds getting harassed and bullied by faster opponents (which is made up somewhat by his above average health), his damage output means he is usually only 1 or 2 good confirms away from turning the whole round around.

Aside from this, Buffaloman also has some really neat specials, such as forward-moving specials that go quite far, a good defensive parry-style move, a more than serviceable evasive panic move to get out of pressure with, and a highly damaging special throw. All put together, this gives Buffaloman a lot of tools and options to work with, even against much faster characters.

Strengths	Weaknesses
High damage output. Very damaging OTG with meter. Strong conversions off of small hits (e.g. his neutral A jab). Forward-moving specials. Solid defensive stance move.	Very slow buttons. Highly meter-dependent for big damage. Poor throw range. Large hurtbox.

Strikes

A

A File:KMGP2 Buffaloman A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 60 Block/Parry LS - 26-31, 25-30 Sp, 22-43 KKD - 13/41 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 17 3 21 (25) -16 -10 ±0 - Very slow, but highly damaging jab. Despite this, this is still Buffaloman's fastest standard normal. On hit, this move combos into 623S for a launch, and sets up 623S loops. This move can link from 66T, though this is a relatively tight link and makes a combo after 66T susceptible to True KKD activation. This move also sees some use as combo filler in juggles, though this is only good to a certain point where the scaling makes the extra neutral As not worth it. Using this move on a heavy-stunned opponent will cause a stun overflow knockdown instead of a medium stun. However, this will properly medium stun on a rope-bounced opponent.

A,A Heavy Double Attack File:KMGP2 Buffaloman AA.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 75 Block/Parry HS - 41-50 KKD - 26/47 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 27 3 19 (23) +8 -8 +12~36 - Slow heavy-stunning follow-up to A, with a very distinct animation. Not a natural combo; in fact, the gap is large enough that characters with faster jabs can interrupt this move. Buffaloman can get a lot off of a heavy stun, and this is one of only two Buffaloman normals that heavy stun. Compared to 44A, this move is much easier to combo out of, so this follow-up still has some value for mix-ups/frametraps. This move causes a unique heavy stun with only 58 frames of hitstun.

66A

66A File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 66A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 60 Block/Parry Launch - 55-60, 55-59 Sp, 34-72 KKD - 4/13 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 19 3 48 (52) -21 -37 - - Large, slow-ish launcher. Despite this, it is only slightly slower than A. On hit, this lets Buffaloman start his 623S loops. Meterlessly, he can continue this string to juggle. This move links from 66T. Compared to linking into A, linking into this move prevents the opponent from activating True KKD to interrupt the combo, at the cost of being slightly stricter to link.

66A,A File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 66AA.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 75 Block/Parry MS - 22-27, 22-26 Sp, 19-39 KKD - 29/53 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 9 3 25 (29) -14 -14 +10 - Medium-stunning follow-up from 66A. Mostly sees use as a combo filler from 66A prior to going for air throw, or, with meter, to go into 623S loops. On standing hit, the early-enough cancel window on this move lets it combo into the next hit for a stun overflow knockdown, or into his medium stun throws. However, unlike most strikes that combo into a medium stun throw, this does not combo into his 214S special throw.

66A,A,A Megaton Upper Combo File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 66AAA.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 75 Block/Parry MS - 21-31, 21-30 Sp, 16-38 KKD - 29/53 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 6 3 27 (31) -16 -16 +8 - Next hit of the string, similarly doing medium stun on standing hit like 66A,A. Like 66A,A, this sees the most use as combo filler. Since this is further cancellable as well, Buffaloman would typically cancel into his 66T air throw after this hit as an ender for his meterless juggles. Natural combos from 66A,A standing hit, for a stun overflow knockdown. Hitting on its own, the cancel window is too late to get anything guaranteed off of this medium stun.

66A,A,A,214A Megaton Upper Combo Plus File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 66AAA214A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 90 Block/Parry KD OTG 76-87 KKD - 25/45 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 27 9 49 (53) -28 -44 - - Ender to this string that is functionally identical to the standalone 214A. OTGs, and knocks down on standing hit. In a juggle, this move comes out so slow that it would only combo if the opponent does not tech roll. Regardless, the 66T air throw is a superior ender to Buffaloman's air juggles. This move does not even combo off of the stun overflow knockdown from the previous two hits connecting on standing hit, due to the knockdown sending them away. This can connect properly at the ropes, but will generally float the opponent, letting them tech roll.

8A

8A Elbow Drop File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 8A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 90 Block/Parry KD OTG 76-86 - 28/69 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 28 12 44 (48) -26 -42 - 10-37 Throw Typical 8A, being a slow OTG that goes airborne and doing nice damage. In practice, this rarely sees use, due to Buffaloman's 236S OTG being more damaging and faster. Even meterlessly, this move still compete for 214A, which OTGs for identical damage. 214A seems to recover faster than this move, though the simpler input can have its advantages.

2A

2A Ground Swing File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 2A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 45 Block/Parry MS SKD,OTG 36-66 KKD - 11/37 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 4 36 (40) -24 -26 -2 1-22 Throw Low-profiling 2A that OTGs.A little on the slow side, but with respectable range. As an OTG, this move is faster than 8A and 214A, but still slower than 236S. This still makes it Buffaloman's fastest meterless OTG, making it the best OTG possible after some knockdowns without spending meter. This move SKDs on air hit. Despite Buffaloman having an air throw, this property still comes up, as an alternative ender to his 623S loop. This gives him an SKD which, with good timing, can guarantee an OTG afterwards. OTG-ing with 236S after this SKD out-damages the air throw, albeit at the cost of meter.

44A

44A Double Hammer File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 44A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 105 Block/Parry HS - 40-66 KKD - 33/61 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 29 4 31 (35) -5 -21 +6~39 - Slow but very damaging heavy-stunning attack. Recovers a bit slowly, and with significant pushback such that nothing is guaranteed midscreen. At the ropes, the negated pushback allows guaranteed follow-ups akin to that possible off of the heavy stun from A,A or S midscreen.

46A

46A Buffalo Hammer File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 46A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 120 Block/Parry KD - 53-65 KKD - 17/29 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 36 5 22 (26) +3 -13 - - Forward-moving knockdown attack that goes quite far, with noticeable startup. Buffaloman stops when he hits the opponent, staying same-side. This, combined with the move's long untech time, consistently guarantees any of Buffaloman's OTGs, such as 8A, 214A or 236S.

236A

236A Swing Punch File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 236A.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 90 Block/Parry KD - 66-109 KKD - 25/45 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 31 3 73 (77) -46 -62 - - Knockdown attack with a built-in forward step, giving it decent range. Buffaloman recovers too slowly from this move to get any guaranteed OTGs.

214A

214A Longhorn Drop File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 214A.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 90 Block/Parry KD OTG 75-86 KKD - 25/45 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 26 9 49 (53) -28 -44 - - Knockdown attack with a somewhat long recovery. Primarily used as a meterless OTG, where it does identical damage to 8A, but seems to recover a bit faster.

41236A

41236A Longhorn Guard File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 41236A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 15 Block/Parry LS - 25-60, 30-59 Sp, 23-70 KKD - 4/13 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 5 16 48 (51) -56 -50 -40 1-5 Strike Defensive stance-style move. Starts up quite fast, and strike-invulnerable until the first active frame. Does not start up as fast as most defense stances, and it has much less active frames. However, it can still be cancelled fairly early. Considering Buffaloman's otherwise very slow buttons, this is one of Buffaloman's most important moves on defense, or as a counterpoke in neutral.

41236A,623A Longhorn Upper File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 41236A623A.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 15 Block/Parry Launch - 12-26, 24-25 Sp, 12-31 KKD - 9/13 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 8 5 16 (20) +9 -7 - - Built-in launching follow-up to 41236A. Not a natural combo from 41236A, but as with other Buffaloman launchers, this is highly rewarding on hit, being able to set up 623S loops.

41236A,623A,214A Longhorn Upper Plus File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 41236A623A214A.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 90 Block/Parry KD OTG 41-90 KKD - 25/45 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 30 9 49 (53) -28 -44 - - Further follow-up to 41236A,623A. This is virtually identical to the standalone 214A. Being locked behind a string limits this move's usability.

Essentially a faster, less-damaging counterpart to 46A. Like 46A, this move's knockdown consistently guarantees any of Buffaloman's OTGs, most notably 8A, 214A or 236S.

66T

Sledgehammer 66T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 66T.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 150 Tech Special - - - 94/49 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 26 -16 - +20 - Unique throw that stays same-side and leaves the opponent standing close to Buffaloman. Buffaloman is decently plus after this move, giving him some guaranteed links off of this throw: A, 66A, 623S, 66S, 236S or super. The potential links off of it make this Buffaloman's throw with the highest damage potential, and it is his highest damaging starter overall: this throw can confirm into super, or set up for 623S loops, able to score over 700 damage in some cases. For some reason, 66T into 66T is impossible; although it is not guaranteed regardless, trying to 66T an opponent consecutively results in T instead.

46T

41236T

Tombstone Piledriver 41236T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 41236T.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 210 Tech KD - - - 118/60 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 26 -16 - - - Throw with the same damage as 46T and similarly does not side-switch. Grants a lengthy untech time on hit, guaranteeing 2A, 8A, 214A or 236S OTG. Its high damage and long untech makes it generally Buffaloman's go-to throw outside of 66T, with its main downside being its somewhat more involved input.

214T

Kannuki Suplex 214T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman 214T.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 210 Tech KD - - - 114/58 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 26 -16 - - - Damaging side-switch throw. This move's knockdown guarantees a 236S OTG. The base damage and OTG opportunities of this throw makes it the most damaging side-switching throw option.

MST

Megaton Shoot (Medium Stun) T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman MST.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 180 N/A KD - - - 110/50 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 28 - - - - Medium stun throw that sends the opponent very far away from Buffaloman. The distance that Buffaloman throws the opponent makes any OTGs impossible midscreen, but when used at the ropes, Buffaloman can get all his OTGs: 2A, 8A, 214A or 236S.

MS41236T

Tomahawk Hurricane (Medium Stun) 41236T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman MS41236T.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 210 N/A KD - - - 130/80 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 26 - - - - Medium stun throw that similarly does not side-switch like (Medium Stun) T, while doing a bit more damage and leaving the opponent much closer to Buffaloman. This throw has very low grounded untech time; a 236S OTG is possible, but it is relatively tight.

HST

Buffalo BOMB (Heavy Stun) T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman HST.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 195 N/A KD - - - 130/55 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 28 - - - - Heavy stun throw that stays same-side, with excellent corner carry. This throw's knockdown guarantees 2A or 236S OTG.

HS41236T

Deadly Devil Style - Scar Transfer (Heavy Stun) 41236T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman HS41236T.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 225 N/A KD - - - 150/65 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 28 - - - - Side-switching heavy stun throw that does more damage than the standard (Heavy Stun) T, though it leaves the opponent noticeably further away. The opponent being left farther away relegates 236S as the only guaranteed OTG. This OTG needs to be done very early to get all 4 hits; if done right, it does 30 more damage than (Heavy Stun) T into 236S. However, if the 236S is done late, it will only hit 3 times due to the range, overall doing 15 less damage.

FBT

Triple Headbutt (From Behind) T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman FBT.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 210 Tech KD - - - 90/60 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 26 -16 - - - Standard from-behind throw, with high damage and without side-switching. This throw has a short grounded untech time, and as a result, no OTGs are guaranteed.

AB66T

Hurricane Heat (Airborne) 66T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman AB66T.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 120 N/A KD - - - 80/152 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 14 10 34 - - - - Buffaloman's air throw, being one of only two air throws of the "headbutt" variety. As an air throw, this is Buffaloman's go-to juggle ender, doing unscaled damage even after long juggles (such as 623S loops). This air throw tosses the opponent behind Buffaloman, side-switching and sending them very far away.

NC66T

Buffalo Ice Rock Drop (Near Corner) 66T File:KMGP2 Buffaloman MC66T.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 240 Tech KD Meter Drain - - 150/-200 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 24 3 26 -16 - - - Unique throw that can only be done at the corner, side-switching and bringing Buffaloman and the opponent roughly to the middle of the screen with some distance between the two. As is standard for a near ropes/near corner throw, this throw does high damage, and drains 2 bars of meter. The distance after the throw means only 236S OTG will reach and is fast enough, and not unlike (Heavy Stun) 41236T, if the 236S OTG is timed late, only 3 hits will connect instead of 4.

RT

This throw switches sides, and guarantees no OTGs.

Unfortunately, this also means it sends the opponent very far away if it connnects.

The forward-moving nature of this move leaves Buffaloman very close to the opponent on hit or block. This makes it the heavy stun attack that leaves Buffaloman closest to the opponent on hit, allowing for the most consistent follow-ups. This move recovers relatively quickly for a heavy stun move, leaving Buffaloman very plus on hit or block, and safe even on parry.

66S

If the launcher hits late enough (i.e. by being used farther away), Buffaloman recovers close enough to the launched opponent to pick up the juggle with A. If the move connects too early, Buffaloman recovers too far away that he needs to do a 2nd 66A to pick-up the juggle. This virtually only happens if 66A is used point-blank, or close to it.

44S

Very low grounded untech time, guaranteeing no OTGs. The relatively low damage of this hitgrab compared to the damage from 214S for only 1 more bar makes this a rarely used special, at least in confirms.

236S

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 45x4 Block/Parry Launchx4 SKD,OTG 110-120 KKD 3 -300/44x4 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 13 63 (15) 42 (46) -26 - - 1-3 Full Powered-up version of 66S of sorts, hitting four times. However, since each hit launches, this typically only hits once on a standing opponent. This move has a much longer duration than 66S, causing it to travel further, able to hit from 4 backdashes away. This longer duration means juggling off of this launch is impossible; even when the move hits at max range, Buffaloman recovers too slowly to pick up afterwards. Where this move shines is as a very damaging, albeit costly, OTG move, where all 4 hits can connect. Incidentally, this is also Buffaloman's fastest OTG, faster than even 2A; in other words, any move that guarantees an OTG will guarantee this move. This is one of the integral sources of Buffaloman's damage.

214S

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 360 Tech KD - - 3 -300/235 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 27 3 27 -16 - - 1-3 Full Very damaging special throw that side-switches. This throw does decently long grounded untech, guaranteeing 2A, 8A, 214A or 236S OTG. The latter is notable, as OTG-ing with 236S does just under 550 damage, albeit at the cost of 6 bars.

Very quick startup (actually being Buffaloman's fastest attack), letting it combo when cancelled into from A, or be linked into from 66T. On air hit, this move launches the opponent upwards. This lets Buffaloman continue juggling, such as with A xx 623S. This lets Buffaloman do this repeatedly, until he reaches the ropes and/or runs out of meter. This is his "623S loop", and although this has a steep meter cost, this routinely does upwards of 500 damage off of many confirms.

Due to it using an animation similar to 66S, this super has a lot of range, of about 2 backdashes away. After the super animation, Buffaloman ends up backturned on P1 side next to the ropes. The opponent recovers very quickly, approximately at the center of the stage. Buffaloman can link into this super from 66T.

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 465 Block/Parry KD - No 9 -900/480 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 17 18 49 -37 -53 - 1-15 Full Buffaloman's alternate super, with the same startup, invuln and long range. After the super animation, Buffaloman will end up on P2 side at the center of the screen, with the opponent being relatively closer, about 1 dash away. This allows Buffaloman to get a guaranteed OTG with 2A, 8A or 214A. The guaranteed OTG generally makes this Buffaloman's preferred super. This super also combos from 66T. Doing so, and subsequently going for the OTG, does a very respectable 705 damage.

Strategy

Buffaloman's slow buttons and short throw-range means he is rarely if ever able to dictate the pace of the match, or dominate neutral; because of this, playing more defensively and not over-extending tends to be the default for Buffaloman. Buffaloman does have several strong forward-moving moves, such as S, 44S and 66S, which can be useful to close distances or whiff-punish. However, as these moves tend to be very bad on whiff or parry, they should not be overused. Getting a neutral A out can help swing the game to Buffaloman's favor, potentially confirming to a lot of damage on hit, or letting Buffaloman go for very simple, though very rewarding, mixups on block. Buffaloman's high health and damage output often means he has the leeway to eat a combo or two, as one combo back can equalize all the damage. By the nature of Buffaloman's poor neutral, he does not easily get the hits he needs, so when he does get it, it's important to make it count, by optimizing damage where possible.

Buffaloman can benefit from all 3 KKD types. Blue KKD's low health buff can bump up Buffaloman's damage to nigh-ToD levels. Green KKD gives Buffaloman even more survivability, and the True KKD activation's super armor can patch up Buffaloman's defense. Red KKD's low health buff helps cover Buffaloman's expensive specials, particularly 236S and 623S. In general though, True KKD activation is quite beneficial for Buffaloman, as his 236S can discourage opponents from stalling out the True KKD duration by just lying on the ground.
