Muscle Buster (マッスルバスター Massuru Basutā?) is a move usable by King II since Tekken 3.
It can also be performed in a chain throw after the Power Bomb or the Victory Bomb as an ender for the Reverse Arm Slam Combo and Reverse Special Stretch Bomb Combo.
The throw also occurs if Stretch Buster grabs an opponent facing forward though this interaction is unlisted.
Trivia[]
- The name of this move could be a reference to the manga and anime series Kinnikuman, whose main character's signature move is the "Kinniku Buster" (キン肉バスター Kinnikubasutaa?), where "kinniku" can be directly translated to "muscle".
- The Muscle Buster and the Kinniku Buster are in fact separate moves. The Kinniku Buster is the signature technique of Kinnikuman, and it is this move which King performs. The Muscle Buster is a similar but safer variant of Kinniku Buster which has the wrestler perform the move by falling on their back.
- The Muscle Buster is most known by its use by the American wrestler Samoa Joe, who used it as his finisher.
