Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2/Kinnikuman

Kinnikuman

Story

Kinnikuman is the titular protagonist of the series. At the beginning of the story, Kinnikuman is a bumbling wannabe superhero who discovers that he is the lost prince and heir apparent of Planet Kinniku, home to some of the greatest Choujins in the universe. As the series progresses (and becomes more serious and action-oriented), Kinnikuman accordingly becomes more competent, learning techniques such as the 48 Finishing Moves or the 52 Submission Holds. Kinnikuman also has the Burning Inner Strength, quite literally a Shonen anime comeback factor given a name.

"Kinnikuman" is actually a ring name of sorts; his real name is Suguru Kinniku, named after now-retired Yomiuri Giants pitcher Suguru Egawa.

Gameplay

As the main character, Kinnikuman epitomizes a lot of the core gameplay mechanics of MGP2: he has simple but strong grounded confirms, great normal and special throws and very decent OTG options. On the flip-side, his juggles are often awkward and not very rewarding. This encourages Kinnikuman players to focus more on grounded, standing combos instead of going for extended juggles, a core hallmark of MGP2.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Very fast special throws, particularly 236S. Damaging jabs. Solid OTG damage.	Juggles are awkward and relatively low-damage.
