Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2/Big the Budo

Big the Budo

Story

The imposing Kendo-themed Perfect Choujin Big the Budo was introduced as Neptuneman's right hand man and tag partner. However, in reality their relationship is quite the opposite: Budo is actually Neptune King, the very same Perfect Choujin who had hibernated beneath the River Thames and bequeathed the Neptune Mask to Quarrelman, dubbing him Neptuneman. Taking the Big the Budo alias, he tag teams with Neptuneman as the "Hell Missionaries".

Big the Budo (or rather, Neptune King) is the leader of the Perfect Choujin faction, a group of primordial Choujins with godlike fighting prowess. Their rather extreme three tenets are to never turn their backs to the opponent, to never use a weapon, and to commit suicide upon defeat. That said, Budo is more than a bit of a hypocrite, and over the course of his debut arc he would proceed to violate all three tenets. The revival would undermine him further, retconning that he wasn't the leader of the Perfect Choujins at all; he was simply lying that he was, and his faction was only an offshoot of the real Perfect Choujin faction.

Like Neptuneman, Budo also fights with Magnet Power, a mysterious force drawn from deep within the earth. Also like Neptuneman, he has the same affinity for ripping opponent choujins' masks off, often in conjunction with Neptuneman in their tag-team finisher, the Cross Bomber.

Gameplay

Big the Budo is the largest character in the game, and as one might expect, this means he hits quite hard, with the trade-off of slower-than-average buttons. He shares several specials with his partner Neptuneman, in particular the Magnet Power specials as well as a couple special throws. The former, in particular, gives Budo a very respectable midscreen presence in neutral. Budo possesses some long-ranged specials involving his kendo sword, including a decently damaging OTG.

Budo's large size does hinder him in some ways, as it becomes more challenging to sidestep certain moves, and characters often have a far easier time hitting or comboing Budo, particularly when he is standing or on the floor.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Above average damage. Unique neutral-oriented specials. Strong metered OTG.	Very large hurtbox. Slow buttons.
