Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2/Junkman

Junkman

Story

Junkman is a Devil Knight with a singular defining feature, and literally only one: instead of normal human hands, Junkman instead has giant, spiked crushing plates. His signature technique, the Junk Crush, is essentially just Junkman smashing his crushing plates together, ideally with his opponent between them. Most of Junkman's fighting style is composed out of permutations and variations of Junk Crush, and those that aren't are all still centered on making use of the freakish plates where his hands should be. Junkman also has the unusual (and arguably equally as disturbing) ability of having a literal second face on the back of his head, as well as being able to bend his arms backwards. This might sound like a useful ability with all sorts of uses, but to Junkman, this just means he can Junk Crush someone who's behind him without turning around. Junkman will try to crush his enemies with his Junk Crush, and if he ever runs into a situation where he cannot Junk Crush his way out of it, that only tells him that he's just not Junk Crushing hard enough. You gotta give him props: Junkman is dedicated to his craft.

Gameplay

Junkman is a character with a clear emphasis on striking over grappling. This is best exemplified by the fact that he is the only character with a no-strings-attached 9-frame jab, the fastest in the entire game, but on the flipside, his throws have 30-frame startup; the slowest among the whole cast. The 9f jab might not seem very exciting, but this gives Junkman a distinct advantage in scramble situations, as well as allow Junkman to do technically possible (albeit impractical) combos such as corner infinites or comboing off of 44T. This simple but strong ethos is present throughout Junkman's gameplay, as despite unassuming buttons, Junkman has several key buttons and confirms that lets him convert his fast jab into tidy damage. Furthermore, even though his juggles might not be the most exciting to look at, they are very effective when done properly.

Junkman's other notable move is his 41236A Needle Trap, a defensive stance akin to Kinnikuman's Muscle Curtain. However, whereas the Muscle Curtain is simply a light stun move that would cause roughly a reset to neutral, Junkman's Needle Trap medium stuns, meaning on a correct read while on defense, Junkman might not just be resetting to neutral, but he might instead be stealing the turn to be on the offensive.

Strengths	Weaknesses
9f jab. High rope juggle damage. Strong defensive tool in 41236A.	Slow normal throws. Linear playstyle.
