Terryman, the Texas Bronco, is the all-American Justice Choujin and Kinnikuman’s best friend. Initially introduced as an arrogant Choujin who antagonizes the incompetent Kinnikuman, he would soon come around when he recognized Kinnikuman's genuine sense of justice. Known for his gutsy and straightforward fighting style involving practical techniques like submission holds, Terryman may not be the flashiest Justice Choujin out there, but he more than gets the job done. Early in the series, Terryman took a literal bullet for Kinnikuman, and his left leg had to be amputated as a result. He wears an extremely realistic (and functional) prosthetic made by his farrier ever since. This plot point would subsequently never be brought up again for nearly 35 real-life years. | Terryman, the Texas Bronco, is the all-American Justice Choujin and Kinnikuman’s best friend.

Also: Yes, Terryman is a thinly-veiled pastiche of professional wrestling legend [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Funk Terry Funk], who had an illustrious run in All Japan Pro Wresting in the 70s and 80s. This tenure served as the primary inspiration for Terryman. | |||
[[Kinnikuman_Muscle_Grand_Prix_2/Terry_the_Kid | Terry the Kid]] is his son from Kinnikuman Nisei, the sequel series. While both characters can be nicknamed "Terry", just "Terry" is typically referring to the elder Terry (i.e. Terryman), as the younger Terry is more frequently referred to as "Kid" instead. | |||

These are all strong tools, some even a little "broken", but for the most part, he has no singular thing that is ''egregiously'' broken (except for maybe his 46T throw). It is the fact that he has access to '''all''' of these, that they add up and come together to make a very complete package. Terryman ends up being a character that performs great in neutral, pressure and combos; he might not really be best in class in any one of these (except neutral, maybe), but the fact that he excels in all these areas makes him something of an ultimate all-rounder. | ||
Just about the only area where Terryman is somewhat lacking is in the damage department; that's not even to say he does poor damage, but he just does (for the most part) very "fair" damage, which runs a bit contrary with how good he is doing everything else. A big part of this is due to Terry's complete lack of special throws, meaning Terryman does not really have any meter dump options for easy big damage. Even then, it's disingenuous to say "Terryman does average damage", because he can still do 50% combos with the right conditions; they are just less readily available to him compared to the "high damage' characters. The lack of big damage out of nowhere as a "robbery factor" also means Terryman's comeback potential can leave a lot to be desired. One can argue that he does not need it, considering Terryman's other strengths means he can/should always be in control and dictate the pace of a match; however, if the situation slips out of his hands, he can struggle to regain that control. | |||
Overall, Terryman might not be the most exciting or the most explosive character, to the point that his detractors might complain he's "boring", but he is a hyper-competent and versatile character that rewards strong MGP2 fundamentals and clean execution. He can also be deceptively difficult to play optimally, such that while his gameplay is easy to understand and pick up as a beginner, it can take quite some time of playing Terryman to get to the point where his strengths are coming through in full force. | |||

*Natural combos from 6A, owing to this extension's very fast startup. This applies for the rest of the string, save the ender. | |||
*This extension's own cancel window is so early that its earliest cancel is the first frame it is active. This means that cancelling out of this move at the earliest opportunity (such as by buffering the cancel, or mashing out the string) will cause this move to be cancelled before it is even active. When trying to go for 6A,A,A, this causes the natural combo to drop, as the 6A,A is not actually hitting. Since 6A,A,A is so fast anyways, delaying the string slightly would still allow it to natural combo, while ensuring 6A,A actually becomes active. | |||
*Conversely, the early cancel window makes 6A,A a great button to mix-up off of on block, as it can cancel into a throw, the next hit, or a special very quickly. Cancelling into a throw as early as possible means the 6A,A would not actually hit, which can bait parry attempts. | |||
*Additionally, like 6A, this natural combos when cancelled into S, and unlike 6A, also combos into 46S on top of that. On hit however, it is usually better to cancel into the special later in the string, since they similarly still combo into S/46S and this is more damage. | |||

*Identical to Terry's standalone 4A in everything but input. This means the KD it grants also guarantees an 8A OTG. | |||
*Within this string, this last hit will combo properly, meaning this entire string is a natural combo. This means if 6A or any of its extensions hit, Terryman is able to convert that into an advantageous knockdown meterlessly. | |||
*As with previous extensions, this can be used as a mix-up with cancelling 6A,A,A,A into other options, such as a special or a throw. Since this hit is still further cancellable, Terryman has one more mix-up option off of this if the entire string is blocked. | |||
*Like the standalone 4A (and the rest of this string), this can hit OTG, but only on Super-Large characters. The whole string is an OTG combo on Super-Large characters in fact, doing 78 damage total. This equals the damage of Terryman's 8A OTG, while being significantly more advantageous; if charge-canceled, Terryman is +16 after the 6A,A,A,A,A OTG hit, compared to 8A being -12 at best on OTG hit. | |||
*Being +16 on OTG hit technically means Terryman can link into another 6A,A,A,A,A (cc) OTG for a hypothetical OTG infinite, but this is a 1-frame link. In MGP2, 1-frame links are extremely strict/inconsistent, so linking into another 6A,A,A,A,A (cc) OTG is not really possible in practice. | |||
*Keep in mind that using 6A,A,A,A,A as an OTG on Super-Large characters carry the same caveat as 6A, namely that its small, finicky OTG hitbox make it whiff more often than not on off-axis knockdowns, such as that off of neutral T. | |||

*This is quite fast for a KD move, and its early cancel window means 4A (cc) is a strong +14 on block. This makes it a great pressure tool, and a good way to cause rope bounces. | |||
*This move often shows up in several places across Terryman's strings, but here it is in its standalone form. | |||
*The knockdown from this button causes a long falling animation that leaves Terry advantageous enough to OTG with 8A afterwards. | |||
*In a similar case as A,A,4A,6A, if the move is blocked, Terryman can jail into an untechable throw off of it. This is somewhat character specific; it only works properly on Heavyweight characters, since on most other characters, the pushback causes a normal throw to whiff, with the only throw that reaches being 44T . Conversely, this seems to be inconsistent on the Super-Large characters, due to their hurtboxes making 4A hit earlier. | |||
*Only hits OTG on Super-Large characters. While this uppercut can hit OTG when its a part of other strings, this standalone version rarely can, due to the lack of preceding string moving Terryman deeper into the opponent's grounded hurtbox. | |||
*In a very esoteric interaction, Junkman's unique blocking hurtbox makes it so 4A whiffs on [[Kinnikuman_Muscle_Grand_Prix_2/Junkman | Junkman]] more often than not, even when used point blank. Even on a blocked 4A, Terryman is unable to jail into a throw at all. | |||

|description= | |description=Typical 8A, being a somewhat-slow knee drop that goes airborne and hits OTG. | ||
*This can be used to situationally crush throws, but in Terryman's case, 2A is an almost strictly superior option. | |||
*More importantly, this is Terryman's "slow OTG", used to tack on meterless damage to sufficiently advantageous knockdowns. | |||
*As part of its animation, Terryman rolls to the left after landing on the ground. This is akin to having sidestepped to the left, though not quite as far. Depending on where 8A is used, this can cause Terry to lose an advantageous position. | |||
*8A is important for Terryman because he has a large number of moves that guarantee it, such as his 4A uppercuts or his S. Considering his damage otherwise, 8A OTG is often an important source of damage for Terryman. | |||
*Many of Terryman's knockdowns that guarantee 8A are so advantageous that doing 8A too early frequently causes an un-OTG float, allowing the opponent to tech roll away. Off of many knockdowns, 8A should be slightly delayed to avoid this. | |||
*One weakness of 8A is its long recovery. This is not unique to Terry's 8A, but since it is a significant part of his gameplan, this drawback can appear more pronounced. Even if Terryman was to hit this move on its last active frame, he is still -12 on OTG hit. If retaining frame advantage is a primary concern, 2A (cc) is much more advantageous, at the cost of damage. Terryman also has more frame-advantageous OTG options that only work on the larger characters. | |||

|description= | |description=Excellent 2A sweep. This is one of Terryman's most important buttons. | ||
*This move reaches quite far, and Terryman goes very low to the ground, making it an excellent neutral poke. Its relatively early cancel window also means that with charge-cancelling, the move is -3 on block and +19 on hit, a rarity for 2As. | |||
*2A (cc) being +19 allows Terryman to link things off of it, akin to A,A,4A (cc). Terryman can link into neutral A for a knockdown or 66A off of 2A (cc) for a full juggle, though the latter can be a strict link. An easier, more consistent confirm option off of 2A is to cancel into neutral S or 46S, which 2A natural combos into for a KD. | |||
*2A can also CCC combo into Terryman's supers. | |||
*The high reward off of 2A along with its frame 1 throw invincibility that lasts a long time makes 2A a great throw crush option, and generally a more consistent option than using neutral A as a throw punish. In addition, 2A xx S outdamages A xx S. | |||
*Between the early cancel window and 2A's SKD property, this button is the the cornerstone of Terryman's juggles, as he can loop 2A (cc) in juggles until he reaches the ropes. This translates to Terryman being able to corner carry all the way to the ropes and score an SKD off of any launch from anywhere on the screen. | |||
*2A is also Terryman's requisite "fast OTG", though many of Terryman's KDs are advantageous enough to guarantee 8A such that key KDs that guarantee 2A but not 8A are few and far between. 2A is a lot more advantageous on OTG hit (especially if CC'd) than 8A is, though; 2A (cc) is +11 on OTG hit, compared to 8A's -12. This makes it an OTG option over 8A if frame advantage is a priority, though this is in exchange of damage. | |||
*This move seems to be considered airborne for most of its duration, which leads to some oddities: getting hit out of it would float Terryman, making it extremely difficult for opponents to get meaningful reward from interrupting 2A. Its airborne property seems to also be the reason why its earliest throw cancel is only on frame 47, despite the earliest generic cancel being frame 32. | |||

*Terryman is at an incredible +24 after this throw, allowing him to link various buttons off of this throw, such as S, 46S, super, or (at the ropes) 66A, greatly increasing its damage output. Even just linking into S and an 8A OTG brings up the throw's total damage to 364, while linking into 46S at the ropes allow Terryman to combo into his rope/corner throw, or CCC into super; these do damage in the 500s-700s, and with the latter, Terryman can even straight up TOD the average character if he has Blue KKD's damage buff active. | |||
*As a general rule of thumb, Terryman prefers to link into his S midscreen, while linking into 46S typically nets more reward at the ropes/corner. | |||
*Perhaps most notably, the throw can even combo into itself at the ropes for a true infinite, though this is a very tight (1f) link and is character-specific to some extent, with it being less or more consistent depending on the character's size. Additionally, the game recognizes the hitstun from 46T as being in a throw, so the opponent is '''unable to activate KKD to interrupt this infinite'''. | |||
*Terryman can also just use the +24 situation to go for mixups, though this tends to be less ideal than simply confirming off of the 46T. Of course, he can opt to just go for another 46T after landing a 46T midscreen, as a "reset". Since the opponent cannot buffer a throw tech during the 46T hitstun, a 46T into another 46T that is just barely not a combo would leave only a very strict 1-2f window for the opponent to throw tech. | |||
*As a whole, even outside from its rope infinite applications, 46T is an amazing throw, and is by far Terryman's best throw to go for in neutral. | |||

Getting to the edge of the stage should be nigh-trivial for Terryman, due to the guaranteed corner carry of his 2A loops. | ||
Blue KKD is generally Terryman's best KKD, as the damage buff can offset his somewhat | When pressuring, 6A and 4A are standout tools. The former leads into a string with very fast cancel windows, while the later is a fast move that can rope bounce with a similarly very early cancel window. Once Terryman gets the opponent into the ropes, throwing in 4A (cc) is a good way to keep the opponent guessing, and incentivize them to guess-parry more often for fear of a random 4A. | ||
Blue KKD is generally Terryman's best KKD, as the damage buff can offset his somewhat middling damage and lack of comeback potential. Additionally, the KKD activation can let him bulldog the opponent to the corner. Conversely, Red KKD sees limited use, as Terryman does not really have any abusable/spammable specials, and he does not particularly struggle with meter. Additionally, Terry has a hard time using up any additional meter gained due to his poor meter dump options, and the his best specials cost 1 or 2 bars anyways. Red KKD may be useful if you intend to use the 63214S series frequently, but this is by and large a suboptimal usage of meter. Green KKD is more middle of the road, though Terryman does not desperately need more defense or better neutral. As is the case with Green KKD, it can be useful for certain matchups where he can get a lot of mileage out of the super armor in True KKD. | |||

===Combo Theory=== | |||
Terryman has very strong standing combos. They primarily stem from his medium-stunning A,A,4A as well as 2A. Both can be cancelled into S for damage and knockdown, or they can be charge-cancelled to link into 66A. Less important but still worth mentioning is 6A,A,A,A,A being a natural string, with the last hit being replaceable with S for more damage. Terryman lacks special throws completely, so he cannot rely on the MGP2 standard of "get a rope bounce, confirm into special throw"; instead, his best alternative is to combo into either his rope throw (236T) or corner throw (623T) depending on positioning. There is an OS, detailed under the (Near Ropes) 236T throw, that can help in situations where it is ambiguous if Terryman is close enough to the corner to get (Near Corner) 623T. | |||
46T is a unique throw that leaves the opponent standing, with Terryman at +24. This allows Terryman to link into a myriad of things; the dedicated 46T section has more details, but the short of it is that midscreen, Terryman should link into S midscreen for the knockdown, and 46S at the ropes since the negated pushback allows Terryman to combo further. 46T is plus enough to also just link directly into super, and at the ropes, it can even link into itself for a corner infinite, though this is a 1f link. | |||
Terryman's juggles is basic, but very effective. His optimal juggles are all about looping 2A, since it is an SKD move that can send the opponent upwards, and has an early cancel window. Terryman's juggles essentially boil down to doing 2A (cc) over and over again; this moves his forwards slightly, letting him inch towards the ropes. Unfortunately, the combo drops once Terryman reaches the ropes, at which point he can end the juggle with a final 2A and OTG off of the SKD with something like 8A. The nature of this juggle means Terryman can get more reps in (and thus more damage) the further he is from the ropes when he gets the launch, and it also means that no matter where Terryman launches the opponent, he will end up at the ropes, provided he does not drop the juggle prematurely. | |||
Though not a combo per se, A,A,4A,6A on block is worth highlighting for being able to jail into a throw, guaranteeing an untechable throw. This can even be 46T, for a lot of damage from the opponent blocking a string. 4A can be used to similar effect, but is a lot more character specific; it can only jail into a throw on Heavyweights, due to the reduced pushback. | |||
Terryman's OTGs are very simple, but important. He effectively only has the standard 2A and 8A, but he has a lot of knockdowns that guarantee 8A, so knowing them and getting 8A OTG where possible is a big source of damage for Terryman. He has some more esoteric OTG options, like 6A,A,A,A,A and 236A, but these are character-specific, typically only working on larger characters. While better in some aspects than 2A/8A, they come with a lot of asterisks, and considering the relative rarity of Large/Super-Large characters, learning these should not be a priority, as 2A/8A is already more than serviceable, and universal to boot. | |||

Revision as of 02:37, 7 June 2024
Story
Terryman, the Texas Bronco, is the all-American Justice Choujin and Kinnikuman’s best friend. Initially introduced as an arrogant Choujin who antagonizes the incompetent Kinnikuman, he would soon come around when he recognized Kinnikuman's genuine sense of justice. Known for his gutsy and straightforward fighting style involving practical techniques like submission holds, Terryman may not be the flashiest Justice Choujin out there, but he more than gets the job done. Early in the series, Terryman took a literal bullet for Kinnikuman, and his left leg had to be amputated as a result. He wears an extremely realistic (and functional) prosthetic made by his farrier ever since. This plot point would subsequently never be brought up again for nearly 35 real-life years.
Also: Yes, Terryman is a thinly-veiled pastiche of professional wrestling legend Terry Funk, who had an illustrious run in All Japan Pro Wresting in the 70s and 80s. This tenure served as the primary inspiration for Terryman.
Terry the Kid is his son from Kinnikuman Nisei, the sequel series. While both characters can be nicknamed "Terry", just "Terry" is typically referring to the elder Terry (i.e. Terryman), as the younger Terry is more frequently referred to as "Kid" instead.
Gameplay
True to the character's lore, Terryman is defined by unassuming but highly functional tools: among others, he has great frame data, fast moves to pressure with, a strong natural combo, juggles that gets him to the corner from anywhere, a throw that leaves the opponent standing, and solid near ropes/corner throws, just to name a few. These are all strong tools, some even a little "broken", but for the most part, he has no singular thing that is egregiously broken (except for maybe his 46T throw). It is the fact that he has access to all of these, that they add up and come together to make a very complete package. Terryman ends up being a character that performs great in neutral, pressure and combos; he might not really be best in class in any one of these (except neutral, maybe), but the fact that he excels in all these areas makes him something of an ultimate all-rounder.
Just about the only area where Terryman is somewhat lacking is in the damage department; that's not even to say he does poor damage, but he just does (for the most part) very "fair" damage, which runs a bit contrary with how good he is doing everything else. A big part of this is due to Terry's complete lack of special throws, meaning Terryman does not really have any meter dump options for easy big damage. Even then, it's disingenuous to say "Terryman does average damage", because he can still do 50% combos with the right conditions; they are just less readily available to him compared to the "high damage' characters. The lack of big damage out of nowhere as a "robbery factor" also means Terryman's comeback potential can leave a lot to be desired. One can argue that he does not need it, considering Terryman's other strengths means he can/should always be in control and dictate the pace of a match; however, if the situation slips out of his hands, he can struggle to regain that control.
Overall, Terryman might not be the most exciting or the most explosive character, to the point that his detractors might complain he's "boring", but he is a hyper-competent and versatile character that rewards strong MGP2 fundamentals and clean execution. He can also be deceptively difficult to play optimally, such that while his gameplay is easy to understand and pick up as a beginner, it can take quite some time of playing Terryman to get to the point where his strengths are coming through in full force.
Blockstun Animation
Terryman is one of 3 characters to deviate from the otherwise universal blockstun animation. Due to a (possible) glitch, when blocking a LS move that hits high, Terryman reacts as if he is blocking a MS move that hits high. In effect, this means that he is stuck in blockstun for 6 frames longer than the average character when blocking a high hitbox LS move. Similarly, he takes 4 frames longer than the average character to recover from blocking a HS move with a low hitbox. He recovers from blockstun as quickly as the average character when blocking moves of all other stun level/hitbox height combinations.
In practice, this rarely comes up, but if a block punish does not work despite the frame data suggesting otherwise, this is likely why, as the frame data is written with the "universal" blockstun animation in mind.

Strategy
Terryman's main neutral buttons are A, 2A (especially with a charge cancel) and to a much lesser extent, 46S. For mixup purposes, Terryman's multitude of strings lets him do more involved mixups than basic strike-throw mixups, such as those to bait and throw off parry attempts. Between Terryman's excellent jabstring and highly rewarding 46T, He is always able to represent a threat off of neutral hits or mixups. Getting to the ropes/corner can be a higher priority for Terryman moreso than for other characters, since it unlocks his near ropes/corner throws, great tools to boost Terryman's damage and to deny the opponent from meter. Getting to the edge of the stage should be nigh-trivial for Terryman, due to the guaranteed corner carry of his 2A loops.
When pressuring, 6A and 4A are standout tools. The former leads into a string with very fast cancel windows, while the later is a fast move that can rope bounce with a similarly very early cancel window. Once Terryman gets the opponent into the ropes, throwing in 4A (cc) is a good way to keep the opponent guessing, and incentivize them to guess-parry more often for fear of a random 4A.
Blue KKD is generally Terryman's best KKD, as the damage buff can offset his somewhat middling damage and lack of comeback potential. Additionally, the KKD activation can let him bulldog the opponent to the corner. Conversely, Red KKD sees limited use, as Terryman does not really have any abusable/spammable specials, and he does not particularly struggle with meter. Additionally, Terry has a hard time using up any additional meter gained due to his poor meter dump options, and the his best specials cost 1 or 2 bars anyways. Red KKD may be useful if you intend to use the 63214S series frequently, but this is by and large a suboptimal usage of meter. Green KKD is more middle of the road, though Terryman does not desperately need more defense or better neutral. As is the case with Green KKD, it can be useful for certain matchups where he can get a lot of mileage out of the super armor in True KKD.
Combos
Combo Theory
Terryman has very strong standing combos. They primarily stem from his medium-stunning A,A,4A as well as 2A. Both can be cancelled into S for damage and knockdown, or they can be charge-cancelled to link into 66A. Less important but still worth mentioning is 6A,A,A,A,A being a natural string, with the last hit being replaceable with S for more damage. Terryman lacks special throws completely, so he cannot rely on the MGP2 standard of "get a rope bounce, confirm into special throw"; instead, his best alternative is to combo into either his rope throw (236T) or corner throw (623T) depending on positioning. There is an OS, detailed under the (Near Ropes) 236T throw, that can help in situations where it is ambiguous if Terryman is close enough to the corner to get (Near Corner) 623T.
46T is a unique throw that leaves the opponent standing, with Terryman at +24. This allows Terryman to link into a myriad of things; the dedicated 46T section has more details, but the short of it is that midscreen, Terryman should link into S midscreen for the knockdown, and 46S at the ropes since the negated pushback allows Terryman to combo further. 46T is plus enough to also just link directly into super, and at the ropes, it can even link into itself for a corner infinite, though this is a 1f link.
Terryman's juggles is basic, but very effective. His optimal juggles are all about looping 2A, since it is an SKD move that can send the opponent upwards, and has an early cancel window. Terryman's juggles essentially boil down to doing 2A (cc) over and over again; this moves his forwards slightly, letting him inch towards the ropes. Unfortunately, the combo drops once Terryman reaches the ropes, at which point he can end the juggle with a final 2A and OTG off of the SKD with something like 8A. The nature of this juggle means Terryman can get more reps in (and thus more damage) the further he is from the ropes when he gets the launch, and it also means that no matter where Terryman launches the opponent, he will end up at the ropes, provided he does not drop the juggle prematurely.
Though not a combo per se, A,A,4A,6A on block is worth highlighting for being able to jail into a throw, guaranteeing an untechable throw. This can even be 46T, for a lot of damage from the opponent blocking a string. 4A can be used to similar effect, but is a lot more character specific; it can only jail into a throw on Heavyweights, due to the reduced pushback.
Terryman's OTGs are very simple, but important. He effectively only has the standard 2A and 8A, but he has a lot of knockdowns that guarantee 8A, so knowing them and getting 8A OTG where possible is a big source of damage for Terryman. He has some more esoteric OTG options, like 6A,A,A,A,A and 236A, but these are character-specific, typically only working on larger characters. While better in some aspects than 2A/8A, they come with a lot of asterisks, and considering the relative rarity of Large/Super-Large characters, learning these should not be a priority, as 2A/8A is already more than serviceable, and universal to boot.
