Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2/Ramenman

Ramenman

Story

Ramenman is the Chinese Justice (formerly Brutal) Choujin renowned for his Kung Fu prowess. He has what is perhaps the most hardcore introduction in the series, brutally ripping a Nazi in half while laughing maniacally. (For censorship reasons in the anime, Ramenman instead pummels said Nazi into noodles and subsequently eats him. Jury's out on what's more horrifying) After losing to Kinnikuman during the 20th Choujin Olympics, Ramenman would soften up somewhat, and he assumes a more wise mentor-like role, especially for the younger Brocken Jr. who initially had a vendetta towards Ramenman for killing his father. During the 21st Choujin Olympics, the then still-evil Warsman stabbed Ramenman in the temple, rendering him catatonic and taking him out of the action for a while. He soon returns as the masked Choujin Mongolman, eventually revealing that a doctor had fashioned for him a mask with healing properties that lets Ramenman function despite his brain damage. Eventually, he heals up enough to return as Ramenman proper.

Ramenman was a bit of a breakout character during the original series' run, even receiving a spin-off manga (and corresponding anime adaptation) called Tatakae!! Ramenman. This told the story of a separate Ramenman's adventures during medieval China, and basically boils down to Fist of the North Star with Ramenman as a Kenshiro-like figure.

Gameplay

Ramenman is an aggressive rushdown character, defined by his fast, numerous strings that lets him pressure for days. He has several strong buttons that knockdown or heavy stun that are really fast for what they are, great for playing neutral and approaching. Despite his average damage rating, Ramenman actually does very good damage as well, due to his very combo-friendly strings. All that said, Ramenman is not without weaknesses: his approach can be a bit linear, and his moves can be quite poor on whiff/parry. Ramenman also struggles to get a proper knockdown from air juggles, and have lacking OTG tools.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Fast, varied strings, some of which natural combo. Multiple heavy-stunning and knockdown moves with above-average speed. Highly damaging juggles with fast, low-committal starters.	Poor meterless OTG options. Impractical tools to SKD off of juggles. Several neutral moves are risky on whiff/parry.

This is the only reversal for a normal throw in the entire game, and since 63214T is is one Brocken's more notable throws in neutral, this is a reversal that might actually come up semi-frequently.

This lets Ramenman score a knockdown for his juggles, something he generally struggles with. More importantly, its relatively fast recovery can make it usable as combo extension, albeit an awkward one; in the corner, Ramenman recovers fast enough to pick up the SKD. This allows Ramenman to situationally convert some moves like 236S or even 6A into a small juggle.

This string is the cornerstone of Ramenman's OTG, and can be further cancelled into 66S for Ramenman's OTG bnb.

Slow for what is functionally akin to a jab, but is made up for by being Ramenman's strongest combo starter.

This entire string is a natural combo, though the significant pushback from this hit heavily limits the potential follow-ups midscreen. This generally makes it obsolete to the alternate ender.

4A,A,66A San-renki - Kai File:KMGP2 Ramenman 4AA66A.png

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 52 Block/Parry Launch MBU 23-45 KKD - 9/13 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 17 4 22 (26) +4 -6 - - Excellent natural combo, essentially letting Ramenman get a decent chunk of damage into a full launch off of a jab-like button. This is also used for Ramenman's actual juggle combos, due to the string's high damage. It's only downsides are that it does not SKD on air hit, and the game's buffer mean it is easy to misinput this move and get 4A,A,46A instead without some practice.

Natively very plus on block, though its massive pushback limits potential pressure opportunities off of it. Though it is cancellable, the cancel window is quite late, such that Ramenman does not really get any meaningful cancels off of it aside from cheeky frametraps on block/whiff. On that note, while the move is quite bad on whiff, it is actually not too bad on parry, especially if the move is parried at further ranges. Unusually for a KD move, this move is not unblockable in MAX True Blue KKD.

46A

Usable as a counterpoke for farther-reaching, slower pokes. This move has massive pushback on hit/block, and deceptively long recovery; this makes any guaranteed follow-ups off of it impossible midscreen.

8A

It does still go airborne (though not frame 1), so it can be used as a counterpoke against low 2As and throws.

Although mostly made obsolete by 4A, it is only marginally slower than 4A, while having a bit more range. Being a launcher also makes this a KKD-proof starter.

236A

Damage Guard Attribute Property Cancel Cost Meter Gain 65 Block/Parry KD MBU 25-54 KKD - 23/41 Startup Active Recovery Guard Adv Parry Adv Hit Adv Invul 20 3 29 (33) -2 -12 - - This move seems to have a different knockdown reaction depending on where it hits: hitting it at near-max or max-range will cause a face-down knockdown close to Ramenman, allowing for OTG hits. Hitting the move point-blank will instead launch the opponent backwards a good distance away for a face-up knockdown.

The KD off of this move is fairly advantageous, allowing for a guaranteed OTG afterwards, or at the ropes, to pick up with a low-altitude juggle with 2A.

This will high launch even on air hit, making this special useful as combo filler in juggles, albeit a somewhat costly one. This move can also hit OTG, and is the standard ender of Ramenman's OTG bnb combo.

On standing hit, the move leaves the opponent in different states depending on how many hits of the move connects: 1 hit will medium stun, 2 hits will properly hard knockdown, 3 hits will cause a soft knockdown and 4/5 hits will SKD. This is one of only two Ramenman moves that causes SKD, allowing Ramenman to combo into this during his juggles for the cost of a bit of meter and usually sacrificing some damage. While this move can hit OTG, it is very impractical to use it as such. Parry data assumes the parry was done point-blank midscreen, which causes a later hit to connect from behind. At the ropes, this typically beats parry.

More evasive than what the invuln frames may imply, due to the built-in backstep in the special. On hit, Ramenman can get the standard OTG combo, and if the move hits from a certain distance, Ramenman can also do a small juggle via 2A,214A, and juggle further off of that at the ropes.

On hit, it leaves the opponent far away, like most of Ramenman's heavy stuns. This move is also very linear, and will often whiff completely due to being slightly off-axis. Hitstun data assumes this hit move hit the opponent from behind. On the rare chance this move hits the opponent from the front, the hitstun ranges from +2~35.

Strategy

Ramenman's main pokes from midscreen are 6A, 2A, and with enough distance, (While Running) A. At closer ranges, pressuring with Ramenman's fast buttons such as his neutral A jab, as well as mixing in his many strings and his highly rewarding 4A, becomes an option. Keep in mind that many of Ramenman's heavy stun and knockdown moves do a lot of pushback on hit/block; they become a more tangible threat once Ramenman gets the opponent to the ropes, as comboing off of moves like 46A or even 6A becomes possible.

Ramenman is not reliant on any one particular KKD type, though he does not get significant mileage out of Green or Red; this leads most players to default to Blue, but there are legitimate reasons to use any of the 3.

Combos

Midscreen

• A xx 66S

• 6A, 2A,214A

• 4A,A,66A, 4A,A,66A, 4A,A,66A
  Standard juggle bnb.
