Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2/Terry the Kid

Terry the Kid

Story

Terry the Kid is the son of the famous Texan Justice Choujin, Terryman. Growing up, he resented the fact that his father constantly played second fiddle to Kinnikuman, and he hated that the Terry family's fighting style focused on boring, practical holds in contrast to the flashy finishers of Terryman's Justice Choujin allies. When his own time came to fight the evil dMp, Kid developed a bit of a hostility for Kinniku Mantaro, Kinnikuman's own scion, desiring to be in the spotlight unlike Terryman. Eventually though, he finds a newfound respect for his father, and realizes that boring but practical moves are what Terrys are best at. Along with this, he also comes to terms with the fact that it is his destiny to be a supporting character.

Unfortunately, Terry the Kid would not even manage the same prominence his father did, as the role of the main character's primary rival/best friend/tag partner in Kinnikuman Nisei is firmly Kevin Mask's, relegating Kid to a decidedly second-string character after the first couple arcs. Nisei's limited spotlight on side characters and somewhat circular character writing also meant that Kid goes through the epiphany of his lot in life just about every time he does get significant screen time, going through this character arc about 2-3 times in all.

In the Ultimate Muscle dub, Terry the Kid is renamed Terry Kenyon, which is a pun with how he is billed as Terry "The Grand" Kenyon.

Gameplay

On a surface level, Terry the Kid comes across as a remix of Terryman. He inherits a lot of Terryman's moves, while losing a lot of the "fluff" in Terryman's toolkit, with a much more streamlined set of strings. All put, this makes for a character that, while resembling Terryman, still feels distinct to play, generally being more beginner-friendly due to his more intuitive moveset, with simpler strings and special throws to confirm into.

...However, what would be Kid's main claim to fame is that he has a very practical Touch-of-Death (TOD) loop. While this loop is ropes/corner-only, Kid can start the loop from a number of starters, and the loop is inescapable except via True KKD activation; since a character can only activate once per round, Kid can potentially end the round in 2 combos. This immense reward makes landing it Kid's win condition, and getting to it is the centerpiece of Kid's gameplan.

Blockstun Animation

Terry the Kid 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, Kid 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.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Corner TOD loop. Relatively fast buttons.	Middling damage outside of TOD. Lack of ways to set up his win condition. Very centralized gameplan. Unique blockstun animation.

Strikes

A

A File:KMGP2 Terry the Kid A.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 13 Block/Parry LS - 17-30, 17-29 Sp, 15-33 KKD - 13/41 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 11 3 16 (20) -11 +1 +5 - Kid's jab, with good startup and range. The range of this button allows it to consistently punish teched throws, and is in fact Kid's only throw punish aside from super.

A,A File:KMGP2 Terry the Kid AA.png	Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 39 Block/Parry LS - 22-33, 22-32 Sp, 17-35 KKD - 29/53 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 12 3 19 (21) -14 -2 +2 - Natural combo extension to A. This is the only guaranteed follow-up to A, and does not guarantee any follow-ups itself. This makes it the most damage Kid can get as a throw punish meterlessly.

Does not combo from A,A. Basically identical to the standalone 236A, so what is written there applies here as well. Within this string, this can be used as a mixup option; mixing it up with the other A,A follow-up can throw-off parry timing, though the lack of reward in hitting this move still makes this a subpar option.
