I got Benkiman by S-Ranking this Ramenman/Sneagator/Warsman/Junkman tournament with... Warsman, I think. If it's not him, then it's Ramenman.

As for the other two... no one knows pretty much.

[buffaloman]

let's get back on topic now, if you need info on the 1st game just select "show all" from the dropdown menu below, there's a topic that covers muscle grand prix max.

any news as to max 2?

[Marksman]

Im not sure if this is useful news, or even news at all. But Muscle Grand Prix 2 was at the recent AOU 07 showcase.

Perhaps they mentioned some features,

What I do know is that...ehh...Kinnikuman defeated Super Phoenix in MGP2. Heh

[Frobman]

Found this here info from some other forum regarding the game.

A report from one of the location tests!

From: http://rbgarou.fc2web.com/nikuroke.htm


Opening
- Theme is Kinnikuman Go Fight! (1st Opening Theme)
- Intro shows Mariposa, Big Body, Soldier, Phoenix and Kinnikuman in that order

Character Select screen apparently has been updated.

System Changes / Additions:
Dash Throwing - You now have dash throws / grapples, this is demonstrated in the promo video with Mantarou doing a shoulder throw off his dash.

Position Change (44R) - Like in the T5 games, you can now reposition your opponent.

Other Stuff:
- Damage is lower compared to MGP1/Max.
- Longer recovery time when doing tension gauge cancels.
- Throws apparently now take 2 tension stocks. ???? I think they mean the special throws requiring no less than 2 tension stocks probably.
- Tension gauge cancels have been changed, people at the loke don't know for sure, but they do know that Kinnikuman has changed from the first game.
- Kinnikuman vs Super Phoenix results in ZuDaDan! Kinnikuman (4th Opening Theme / Op Theme for Scramble for the Throne Series) playing in the background.
- Link for said opening.

Nise Muscle Revenger[Phony Muscle Revenger](9) - 41236RS
Aztec Rush(9) - (Near rope) 41236RS

- He doesn't have many throws, but he does have many striking attacks and he is quite fast. Also he has air throws.
- You can do his specials from his main strikes. Only his super throws are guaranteed.
- In one of his specials he gets fire, just like in the series when he uses the Anoana Staff.
- His Flying Technique is done the same way he did when he fought Robin in the series.
- He has the switching places thing apparently like Pentagon, The Ninja and Brocken Jr.
- His Fake Muscle Revenger is done the same like in the original.
- You might forget about Aztec Rush when you get your opponent to the ropes.

[Idol Choujin Showtime]

Coolness. All around coolness. The only disappointment is that Zebra doesn't have that thing wear he throws the ring rope at his opponent, catches their neck, and causes them to crash into his chest. Ah well...

I'm not actually surprised but nonetheless I'm happy to see that Phoenix's Raging Ox made it in. Can't wait t' hear about Neptuneman and Neptune King/Big the Budou!

[Grizzledman]

Whoa, thanks for the info. This sounds pretty awesome.

I was wondering what move they'd use for Super Phoenix's other super... that's a pretty cool choice, actually.

Maaaaann I can't wait for GP MAX 2.

edit: I'm guessing Super Phoenix's 2P will be the purple form.. where he takes the powers of all 5 of the evil gods.

Any thoughts (other than "don't post pointless stuff")?

[Grizzledman]

The main site has some stuff about the AOU 2007 demo... including a video of a contest with gameplay footage!

I love the way the character select screen is set up; like the Muscle Prophecy book, pages flip as you pick your character and everything. It looks like Mongolman and Ramenman aren't separate characetsr afterall... the hooded costume is called "Messiah" (in english and everything). It looks like Kinnikuman's default costume is the red/black KIN one (my favorite). It looks like the character select screen just has everyone from MAX and the 5 princes... so they're probably holding out on the other characters as well. I notice two available slots, though... we'll probably see everyone's favorite Kanpeki Choujin duo in the game.

Gameplay looks much tighter. Attacks do far less damage, so it looks like matches are much longer. There was some special combo thing that Ramenman was doing that I didn't quite grasp... but it looks cool. The health and special bars look much fancier and cooler.

Man I can't wait for this to get released and subsequently ported!

for some reason I can't see the video, is it available on youtube?

[buffaloman]

I managed to watch the clip, looks nice, anyway I hope for a PS2 version with brand new characters, it's pointless to make a sequel with only 3 more characters added, it's ok with the arcade whose first game has a very few characters available, but not for the PS2 version

[Grizzledman]

http://www.kinnikuma...com/index2.html

Site's been updated... it lists all of the characters and their moves, with two shadowy and still "secret." But yeah, definitely looks like we have Neptuneman and Big the Budo this time (awesome!)

There's pages with the game system, and a bunch of other things. The main page has videos of the Princes' supers. And there's a trailer (I think it's an old one, but there's stuff in it I don't remember from before).

And the new stages are awesome... the floating cube ring Soldier and Super Phoenix fought on, the ring Kinnikuman and Super Phoenix fought on, and the Palm of Hercules from Nisei.

I can't wait for the inevitable PS2 port.

[Frobman]

So far it's lookin' awesome! Can't wait for it, even if I can't get the game!!!
Hell's Missionaries, yeah! NUMBA~ ONE!!!

[Idol Choujin Showtime]

New Stages:

Osaka Castle
6-Sided Ring
Hercules Fist

[Grizzledman]

I didn't notice shirt and hatless Brocken Jr. before, but that's awesome.

And here's a Terryman detail I LOVE that I never noticed before, even though I hate Terryman:

In one game clip of that trailer/info video, he has BUFFALOMON'S ARMS! LIKE IN HIS MATCH WITH ASHURAMAN!

That's such an awesome little detail I don't know what to think of it. I love it when game developers put in a bunch of things like that (hence why I love the One Piece: Grand Battle series; so much little details).

[buffaloman]

the site is tight, tho no significant news has been revealed except for the confirmation of the hell missionaries, let's hope to see more chars in a possible PS2 port along with a various game mode

[Grizzledman]

If a port is to be made, it'll probably be announced in 2 or 3 months.

I just hope there's a sensible way to unlock characters this time.

[WarOmnimon]

This game looks like it will rock, and I hope it gets ported to the PS2.

And say you're kidding about the six-sided ring! That's too cool for words! (Big TNA fan, despite some of the decisions made recently *coughrussocough*)

[Neo Muscle]

Any chance it will get released in the states?????

[Grizzledman]

0%

[Idol Choujin Showtime]

The site updated again. They took down the video's of Kinnikuman's "Muscle Spark" and Super Phoenix's "Muscle Revenger". But they've added video's of Ataru's "Napalm Stretch" and Zebra's "Muscle Inferno". They'll be there til the 17th and then they'll prob'ly be replaced by Mariposa's "Phony Muscle Revenger" and Big Body's "Muscle Impact".

[Frobman]

7 Days!
That's right! There's no more than 7 days till this game comes out in the arcades in Japan. It should be by then Neptuneman and Big the Budo should be revealed, I guess.

[Grizzledman]

The site updated with videos of Big Body's "Muscle Impact" and Mariposa's "Fake Muscle Revenger."

[Frobman]

Hey, yo! Guess what! According to the sote, the game's gonna be released in the arcades now, in a matter of hours (Regarding the time diffferences in Japan)! Meaning we might now see Neptuneman and Big the Budo soon enough!

[Grizzledman]

They'll probably be up next week.

I'm guessing they'll be time-release like most hidden characters.

[buffaloman]

I'm afraid there won't be any PS2 version this time
