Thanks much. Juggernaut belongs to Marvel. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was made by
Capcom, with the help of Marvel. All Marvel characters were made by Marvel,

======================================
1. Juggernaut! (Why choose this loser)
======================================
Truth be told, Juggy is actually in the higher tiers(though definitely not top
tier material). The majority think that since he's a freakin' giant, he's slow
and automatically sucks. He does have god-awful walking speed and recovery,
but some of his moves, like the Body Slam and Headcrush, are very fast and
useful.
-------------------------
Juggernaut's Game History
-------------------------
Juggy made his fighting game debut in X-Men: Children of the Atom, where he
was a boss character you fought before fighting the almighty Magneto. Juggs
was DISGUSTING in this game; rigged beyond all belief, his Doublefist attack
knocked off 1/4th of a lifebar, and his Headcrush did CATASTROPHIC damage...
and that was without the Power-Up. His Power-up lasted 7 seconds instead of
past the first hit. So if you got hit by the Headcrush when he was powered up,
let's just say your ass was grass. Unfortunately, our big hero was unplayable
except through the use of a cheat device, which I can understand...the murder
rate would climb if the beast was playable.
Juggernaut made a return as a PLAYABLE character in Marvel Super Heroes! Fans
flocked to machines only to find out that he was toned down. >.=O But it'll still be fun
as hell seeing a Headcrush rip off an entire
character. For more on the glitch, see Other Stuff.
Rating: 2/5 without glitch, 5/5 if glitch
Annnyywaayyys, on to the Crush O' the Head.
====================================
5. The Greatest Smash; the Headcrush
====================================
------------------------------
Juggernaut Headcrush (QCF + P)
------------------------------
The Headcrush. It DRIPS with excellence. Anyways, this is Juggernaut's only
Hyper Combo. What happens is that Juggernaut rushes forward with his head
EXTREMELY fast, barreling straight into your unfortunate opponent for MASSIVE
damage. This Hyper Combo plays a PIVOTAL role in Juggernaut's game, and if you
know how and when to use it properly, you will be a master Juggy.
When the Headcrush comes out, it momentarily stops time; meaning, if you catch
someone in the middle of a swing, they're history. And that's what this move
is for; punishment. The Headcrush goes through single projectiles, like Ryu's
Hadoken, Psylocke's Psy Blast, etc. So, if they're dumb enough to whip one of
those out, punish them for it. Another use is to punish Hyper Combos such as
the Shun Goku Satsu.
The Headcrush is also a combo ender. It is best use after an HP, HK, or
Earthquake Punch. By doing so, you'll add even more damage to the greatness
that is the HEADCRUSH. One other use is to punish assist characters. If you do
this enough, you'll be wiping out 2 or 3 characters at a time.
Since the Headcrush is so malleable, find your own uses for it. Just don't
spam it, since people already fear this move, and if you do, they'll always
see it coming a mile away.
====================================
6. Smashing 101; Combos and Strategy
====================================
Juggernaut's combos do disgusting amounts of damage. Try these out.
-----------------
LP, MP, Headcrush
-----------------
Just your basic combo. Be sure to actually connect with the MP to make sure
the Headcrush hits.
--------------------------------------
Ducking LP, Ducking HP xx HK Body Slam
--------------------------------------
Pretty good damage. Be sure to do the HK Body Slam, since the LK version flies
too low.
----------------------------------------
Jumping HP, (land) Ducking HP, Headcrush
----------------------------------------
Unleash the HP RIGHT before you land, and then immediately use Ducking HP once
you do. When the opponent is in the air, time your Headcrush right for muchos
damage.
-------------------------------------
LP, MP, Earthquake Punch xx Headcrush
-------------------------------------
My favorite. RIGHT when the punch hits the ground on the Earthquake Punch,
go into the Headcrush. you can vary this with a Ducking LP and MP, or standing
LK, MK, etc.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ducking LK, Ducking MK, Earthquake Punch xx Headcrush
-----------------------------------------------------
BETTER variation of above combo. This is EXCELLENT. The MK OTG's, so if you
follow up with an Earthquake and cancel that into a Headcrush, you'll knock
off almost three-fourths of their lifebar.
If I say "The Ducking LK, MK Combo" I mean this one.
-------------
Corner Combos
-------------
The following comboes can ONLY be done in the corner, but do GROSS damage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jumping HP, Ducking HP, (Super-Jump) LP, LK, MP, HP, HK, (land), Ducking LK,
Doublefist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry, but this is just amazing. This thing takes off even more than his
ground Headcrush comboes. Have fun with this one. Ducking HP or HK may be used
in place of Doublefist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP Throw, (OTG)Ducking HP, (Super-Jump)  LP, LK, HP, HK, (land), Ducking LK,
Doublefist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE anti-turtle. If someone decides to turtle in the corner, whip this out and
they'll be crying on the ground.
-------------------------------------
HP Throw, (OTG)Ducking LP, Headcrush.
-------------------------------------
Also a good anti-turtle, but not as much damage as above combo.
There's a lot more combos, but I'm too lazy to write 'em all. =P Have fun.
--------
Strategy
--------
1. Abuse the Headcrush. I know it sounds cheap, but it's Juggernaut's GREATEST
asset. The reason is that it stops time very shortly when it comes out, making
ANYTHING extremely punishable. A blocked jab can be punished. What's more is
that since Juggy has Super Armor, the Headcrush won't be cancelled out when
he hits a single projectile such as the Hadoken or Sonic Boom. Another use
is cancelling a jab or Earthquake Punch into Headcrush, because the hit stun
from the jab(s) will be enough for Headcrush to punish. ABUSE. RAR.
Alternatively, if you don't have any HC meter, use LP Juggernaut Punch in
close quarters to punish, and HP Juggernaut Punch to go through projectiles
and punish.
2. If someone tries to jump on you, crouching HP. This move has got huge air
reach and priority, and it'll stop almost any aerial assault your opponent
tries to mount. Even if he/she hits you, your super-awesome Super Armor will
protect your ugly face as you pound the snot out of your opponent's face.
3. Watch out for recovery. Though Juggernaut is a character who relies on
punishing, he can be punished too, because his recovery is PISS POOR. Some of
his moves give his opponents SECONDS to react, so you'll be eating all kinds
of crap if you screw up.
4. Don't use the Power-Up glitch. It's dishonorable. >=O
5. Hit 'em while they're down! The Earthquake Punch and Juggernaut Punch hit
grounded opponents, so if they decide to take a nap, wake 'em up.
=========================
7. Juggernaut and Friends
=========================
Juggernaut needs a good set of partners and assists to be unstoppable. Having
a good, fast character and a good Anti-Air assist is a great way to start.
Here's some potential helpers for Juggernaut:
--------
Anakaris
--------
He is EXCELLENT at building up Hyper Combo meter with his Mummy Drop throw.
This horror-movie reject's role is to build up valuable meter so that Juggers
can Headcrush away.
----------
Blackheart
----------
Blackheart is good for Juggernaut. Although he's a big slow guy like Jugg, he
has an excellent Anti-Air assist that could be put to good use for Juggernaut.
Also, bring him in and play his keep-away game; your opponent will have to
adjust to two radically different play styles. Juggy REALLY needs an Anti-Air,
and Blackheart can fit that bill nicely.
----------------
Captain Commando
----------------
GREAT Anti-Air assist for Jugger; if you're not comfy having two giants on
your team, pick this dude. He's fast and powerful, and has got one of the best
Anti-Airs in the game.
-----------
Doctor Doom
-----------
This guy's Anti-Air fits ANYBODY. You could use it to repel people from
Juggernaut, get rid of pesky fliers like Sentinel, or to do some great chip.
If you don't like his Anti-Air, pick Projectile; it's a very fast beam that
can cover Juggernaut well, though it only hits once.
-----
Cable
-----
Two great assists: The Projectile and Anti-Air. The Projectile is the one to
go with. Since it's a constant beam, you can cover Juggernaut with it or use
it to sturn as he goes for a Juggernaut Punch or Headcrush. If you don't want
a beamer assist, go for his Anti-Air, as it hits upwards of 8 times and is
damaging.
--------------------
Iron Man/War Machine
--------------------
Another solid beamer assist, although the Repulsor Blast Anti-Air Assist can
work well for jump-ins...but you've got the crouching HP for that crap, so go
with Projectile assist.
----------------
Wolverine (Bone)
----------------
His Gamma assist is the only assist that attacks low; therefore you could use
it to throw your opponent off and follow up with a Juggernaut Punch or
Earthquake Punch xx Headcrush.
------
Iceman
------
Solid beam assist with massive chip; need I say more? I never use this one
actually, because I don't like Iceman. Way too cheap. Not recommended unless
you like being hated. >=O
-------
Zangief
-------
Though Zangief and Juggernaut might not make the best team, it's always fun to
bring Zangief out for a Throw assist when you opponent is rushing and Juggers
can't do anything. This'll break off their rhythm and give you time to punish.
The best part is that it's unblockable. The same can go for Tron Bonne or
Anakaris, but remember that Anakaris's throw is duckable and needs distance.
There are plenty other good assists for Juggernaut, and these are just a few,
so experiment with different partners until you create an awesome kick-ass
team!
===========================
8. Juggernaut vs. the World
===========================
Here ya go, the biggest part of the FAQ. This'll give you strategies for
facing each of the other 55 losers in this game(and possibly yourself). Note
that like, about half of this is mostly theory and CPU match-based. I'm
pathetic.
--------------------
1. Akuma (AKA Gouki)
--------------------
Akuma is to be feared, for his amazing power and speed, which can prove a big
problem to Juggernaut. Balancing this out is the fact that this guy CANNOT
TAKE HITS. Two Headcrushes will lay him out. Unfortunately, a good Akuma user
knows this and will try his best to not let you have those two Headcrushes.
Akuma has FIVE Hyper Combos, and the one you want to watch out for is the
Tenma Zankuu Hadou, the one where Akuma fires a bunch of fireballs at you from
the air. The reason is that your big butt covers up half the screen, so most
of the time, ALL of these fireballs will hit you if you are not blocking. If
you see him going for this move, jump and then Body Slam him. Look for any
oppurtunity to unleash a combo ending in a Headcrush. If he tries a Shun Goku
Satsu, Headcrush him for his stupidity.
---------
2. Amingo
---------
This guy is pretty damn weird, but you'll have him in your pocket if you know
what to do. Amingo has a great priority jump-in, and his Jumping HK will hurt.
He also has a pretty good Air Combo ending in that Onion Rush, but it's pretty
balanced out by his crappy launchers. When you see Amingo reaching into his
hat to plant one of his little cactus dudes, Juggernaut Punch and/or Headcrush
him. Do not use Body Slam on him unless you want a Boon to the Sun in the face
(it's the giant vine hyper). Anyway, anytime he calls a partner, punish, and
don't get launched.
-----------
3. Anakaris
-----------
Even weirder than Amingo, this may move even slower than you, but his moves
are so nuts that you won't even be focusing on that. Watch out for his Mummy
Wrap throw, as it's unblockable and it has a lot of room to hit you since you
are fat. If he tries a Coffin Drop, he'll telegraph it by striking a goofy
pose with his hand in the air; if you've got good reflexes, Headcrush him
before he can drop it on you. If he tries the Hyper version, wait until a
coffin in front of you drops and then Headcrush or Juggernaut Punch. One weird
thing about his launcher is that it can smack you out of your Headcrush; be
wary of that when you punish. Just block his Pharaoh Magic special, because it
is way too risky punishing that due to its massive damage.
-------------
4. Blackheart
-------------
The main thing to watch out for in Blackheart is his HK Demons xx Heart of
Darkness. If the initial kick of the HK Demons hits you, the demons themselves
will grab on you, rendering you unable to block, and leaving you free to get
your ass handed to you by Heart of Darkness. DON'T let this happen. Push-block
the initial HK kick, and then use Headcrush. You may hit a demon or two, but
it won't stop you. Basically, Blackheart's attacks leave him wide open. If you
block the initial hit of Inferno, he'll be stuck in that goofy hands-out pose,
leaving you free to do whatever you please. The main thing to watch out for
in Blackheart is his Anti-Air assist on another character; it'll hit twice and
stop any attempt to Body Slam or any aerial assault on your part.
On a side note, another Hyper of his to watch out for is Judgement Day. This
is because, once again, your size is a huge liability, because all of those
demons, be it the air or ground Judgement Day, will murder you. Armageddon is
nothing to fear, but you can't do squat about it because the meteors will stop
your Headcrush.
--------------------------
5. B.B. Hood (AKA Bulleta)
--------------------------
She'll give you a migraine with that Cruel Hunting HC of hers. Since, once
again, you're so fat, the other guys will be hitting you as well, and you will
take massive chip damage. Watch when she's calling for those losers and Super
Jump over the special and nail her. If you can't Super Jump in time, wait
until she's done with the Hyper and twirling her uzi, and Headcrush her face.
She hasn't got much of an air game, only her Cheer & Fire technique, so feel
free to Body Slam away. Watch out for Hyper Apple For you; it's unblockable
like Zangief's Final Atomic Buster, and you're huge, and that's not a good
combination. To compensate, leap outta there when she initiates that friggin
Hyper, and kick her in the face when you're coming down.
--------
6. Cable
--------
Scrubs love this loser. If your opponent is a "spam Standing HP and/or Viper
Beam cuz it's pretty" opponent, you've got it made. Jump over said projectiles
and Body Slam his face into the pavement. No more scrub. Against an EXPERT
Cable, DON'T Headcrush from afar unless you want an AHVB (or three) to the
face. Cable can't really do much when you're up in his face except his usual
tactics or a Psicharge to knock you back. Also, be wary of an Electrap to the
face; though it's unlikely he'll do it, it could still spell death for Juggy
if he's caught in the trap. If he is, say hello to an AHVB to the face.
Annnyways, even though Cable is a keep-away god, try your best to get up in
his face and punish.
--------
7. Cammy
--------
DAMN this woman! Anyways, Cammy is one of the fastest characters in MvC2 and a
total spaz comboer, which Juggernaut ISN'T. I actually have not played a lot
of Cammy players at all, but what I understand is that some of her moves are
just asking for a Headcrush when she lands. Overall, just don't get caught in
a big combo, because you'll regret it. Headcrush when applicable.
------------------
8. Captain America
------------------
Captain is a well-balanced guy, which can pose problems for Juggy. If he tries
to cartwheel cross-up you, let him have it by tossing him as he approaches. If
you can't, then just block the other way and await an opening. Cap's moves
leave him wide open, so if he screws up a Stars and Stripes or whips out the
Final Justice, Headcrush him for it. Instead of trying to combat a Hyper
Charging Star, Super Jump over and then nail him from behind. Watch out for
his HP in all forms as it has godly priority.
-------------------
9. Captain Commando
-------------------
The other captain might be more of a pain in the ass then Mr. America. The
reason: Commando's FREAKING KEEP AWAY GAME.  If you try to Body Slam, expect
a Captain Corridor or Sword to the face; so throw that option out of the
window. If he gets Captain Fire-happy, then there might be a problem; the best
option is to negate it with a Projectile Assist and then punish accordingly;
if you can't do that, then jump over the projectile and boot him in the face.
Your options from there include jumping back and Headcrushing (too damn RISKY)
or go from that boot to a launcher and do an AC. The second option is my
choice. ALSO, his helpers are annoying as hell. If he calls Sho (who is really
friggin fast to come out), just block. Duck for Jennety, and jump over
Hoover's missile. A tough fight.
----------------------
10. Charlie (AKA Nash)
----------------------
This guy has a goofy vest, and you must slaughter him for it. Anyhow, he's got
more power and less comboability than Guile, and arguably the worse of the
two. But don't underestimate him at all, as he can still wipe the floor with
your big brown ass. Sonic Boom isn't a threat. Headcrush him if he uses it.
The Sonic Blade HC IS a threat. It pushes you away and gives Charlie plenty
of time to rush up and throw you when you're blocking it. Good thing for you,
it moves slow. Super Jump and Body Slam his unfortunate ass from above if he
uses the Sonic Blade. If he does his Somersault Justice HC, don't even try
to Headcrush. Wait until he lands, THEN unleash Hell. >=D Anyway, Charlie is
actually very punishable, just be wary for any Crossfire Blitzes or Sonic
Blades.
-----------
11. Chun-Li
-----------
Toned down severely, Chun-Li doesn't pose too much of a problem for Juggers.
The only thing you've got to worry about is her Kikosho super. It'll own any
Headcrushes or Juggernaut Punches. Any other moves she has are crap for Jugg.
If she uses her fireball, punish. If she does her weird multi-kick thing, then
give a big WTF before punishing. You can have Chun Li's ass easily.
------------
12. Colossus
------------
Aw, crap. Colossus is way up there with you in the power department. This is
really a fight where you can't make mistakes. If you do, Colossus will have
your ass before you can say "POWER UP!!111one". ANYWAYS. Colossus's best asset
is his Hyper Armor special. He gets armor just like Abyss, unflinchable, but
he can actually BLOCK. When he uses it, just wait it out. Anyways, if you can
avoid being tackled too much, you'll win the day. As soon as he tries to
tackle, block and then POUND HIS ASS. But don't do so if he has Hyper Armor,
or he'll block and seriously lay the hurt on you. If he is actually dumb
enough to try that Dive Bomb special of his, you will not get hit unless you
REALLY suck. As soon as the loser lands, murder him. But it's not actually
gonna happen unless you face the computer. And even the computer doesn't do
it that much. Anyway, defense is the name of the game in this fight.
-----------
13. Cyclops
-----------
Ol' Cykey can really put the hurt on you if you're an idiot. First of all and
most important, DON'T TRY TO HEADCRUSH ANY OF HIS HYPER COMBOS! YOU'LL GET
OWNED! Second of all, don't get in the way of his projectiles, period. He's
got one for every freaking situation. Anyways, sometimes scrubs pick Cyclops
and abuse his Standing HP and that's it. If he does, Headcrush POR FAVOR. It
will hit him quite hard. Good people generally know what to actually do. He's
got a good anti-air attack which can be used to stop any Body Slam you might
foolishly attempt. He's got damaging throws, and his Mega Optic Blast is
freaking ENORMOUS; it's the biggest beam in the game. Your fat butt won't be
able to Super Jump over that, so block. If you think you can connect a
Headcrush afterwards, try. One of the harder fights for Jugg.
-------
14. Dan
-------
I LOVE Dan. He's my favorite character. ANYWAY, although Dan is a joke
character, don't underestimate him. He's surprisingly lethal in the hands of
an expert. Expect lots of Dan players to jump into an aerial assualt, and
follow with a launcher. Counter this by doing a Ducking HP and NAILING his ass
as he jumps in, then do an Air Combo of your own. Since quite a bit of Dan
"players" only have this maneuver, you'll be home free to wreak havoc on Dan's
goofy face. Also, don't let him taunt a lot, or you'll be eating Koryurekkas
and Hisshou Burai-kens a lot. Another thing is, DON'T let him get you into a
corner. If he gets you there, focus on getting out, cuz you can expect to get
some long Shinkuu-Gadoken combos in there. Headcrush if you get into the
corner; even if it's blocked, you'll still get out of there.
One more thing; some Dan players are absolutely insane and use the LK Premium
Sign to try and stop the Headcrush. Another thing; it works. Don't use the
Headcrush on an idle Dan, because that might happen. Always look out for the
dread Otoko-Michi; since you're huge, he can get in way close and do the move
before you can even react. If he does it from far away, though, he's just
asking for a Headcrush.
ONE LAST THING: If he does his Hyper Taunt, let him finish. =D
-----------
15. Dhalsim
-----------
Dhalsim is nuts. Expect massive poking from afar with those long-ass arms of
his, and expect him to teleport out of the way of the Headcrush! Anyways,
punish any Yoga Fire idiocy, Body Slam any Yoga Flame. Don't Headcrush from
across the screen, because Dhalsim will teleport out of it and then crisp your
ass even browner with Yoga Inferno. The key to winning against Dhalsim is that
when he tries one of his full-screen pokes, Headcrush his arm, because he will
not be able to cancel it into anything. Be wary for any sort of Anti-Air or
Projectile assists. Then again, if you can easily take down Anakaris, then you
should be able to walk all over Dhalsim's ass.
---------------
16. Doctor Doom
---------------
Doctor Doom will give you problems. His keep-away game is amazing, and he has
every tool to counter the Headcrush. If you Headcrush from afar, expect to eat
electric death by that Electric Cage of his. If you Juggernaut Punch, expect
him to jump, wait until he's close to you, and unleash an Air Photon Array,
and due to Juggernaut's massive size, EVERY Photon will hit, and that will
HURT. Any attempt to Body Slam? Rising Flame will stop that. So what will you
do? Get in his face. Doom is a bit too slow to keep away a sustained assault.
You'll take a lot of hits, but you'll critically wound Doom. With Doom, the
main thing to fear is the Air Photon Array. Doom players know about Jugg's
fatness and will land this move constantly if you're dumb and leave yourself
open. It takes about 2-4 of these to kill Jugg. SO DON'T GET HIT! RAR!
-----------
17. Felicia
-----------
Catwoman (LOLOLOLOL) is a spazzer. Her strategy is to rush in and immediately
start assaulting with combos, assists coming out like crap. Expect her cat
scratching throw thing to be used to build meter. You can cancel her Rolling
Fury hyper (the one where she rolls at you, stupid) with Headcrush; jump over
it or block if you don't have meter. Her Litterbox hyper thing (wtf were they
thinking) comes out pretty fast, do only Headcrush if you're close. Her Help
Me thing (wtf x2) is too risky; the cat that comes out will catch you and you
will get raped by a million cats...ja. Anyways, don't worry about getting
close because she will come to you(rowr). Interrupt combos with a launcher to
the face, follow up with an air combo, repeat. Watch out for any projectile
assists, a Cable or Iceman assist can make her friggin' annoying, but all in
all not a tough fight.
----------
18. Gambit
----------
Gambit can charge your ass so full of kinetic energy that it won't even be
funny. Like this FAQ. Don't stay at a distance, because you'll be eating cards
to the face. Don't make your jump-ins too obvious, or you'll take a Trick Card
to the crotch. Headcrushing from afar will definitely equal a Royal Flash to
every part of your body, and turtling too much could equal him leaping to your
wall and nailing your face with a Cajun Strike or Cajun Explosion. To tell if
he'll use a Trick Card, he'll hold the cards in front of his face before
thorwing them in the air. Anyway...
Gambit has a bit of lag before the Royal Flash and after it. Use the lag after
the Royal Flash. Block it and Headcrush that stupid taunt of his afterwards.
As long as you capitalize on Gambit's small lag before he does his moves, you
can do well. The only thing to look after is that stick (heh) of his, which
can give him some range. Cajun Slash is one of his most annoying moves, but it
can just be Headcrushed if he's actually dumb enough to try it. Easy fight,
but tough if you can't get close.
---------
19. Guile
---------
Guile poses problems for our big hero. The MAIN thing to worry about is a
Jumping HK -> Ducking HK xx Any of his 2 Ground Specials. That'll take out A
LOT of your life, and a DHC into...say, Sentinel's Plasma Ball HC will be even
worse for this big brown loser. Every time Guile jumps, block and then block
low. If he hits that Ducking HK, push-block and then Headcrush while he's
doing the second kick. He won't be able to cancel in time, and he will be
butchered by your big ugly head. One rule of thumb with this loser: Don't get
caught in an air combo. You really don't want to get hit by a Crossfire
Assault AC finisher. Anyways, punishable things include Sonic Boom, his NORMAL
Somersault Kick, and his ducking HK. Things you don't want to try punishing
include his Sonic Hurricane (although you can wait right after it finishes
and Headcrush/Juggernaut Punch for good timing), and his Hyper Somersault Kick
(wait till he lands, then punish). The main rule here is to not get hit by
almost any basic attack, as he can cancel pretty much anything into one of his
2 ground specials. Don't get OTG'd by his Ducking HK and punish, and you will
give this loser a REAL dog tag. (ba doom CHH)
----------
20. Hayato
----------
This guy's greatest strength is his range and priority. The only two real
things worth mentioning is his double slash special move (punishable) and the
Shockwave-type Hyper of his(punishable IF YOU BLOCK IT). That being said, go
wild. He may have long reach, but YOU'VE got HUGE ARMS! Hayato has got a
Dragon-Punch style move, except it's pretty weak and best used as an AC
finisher(although you shouldn't get hit by his launcher in the first place),
but if he's dumb enough to do it on his own, HK Body Slam and/or Headcrush him
in mid-air or when he lands. Not a tough fight.
--------
21. Hulk
--------
This guy has a lot of your strength and more speed. This could be a problem
for Juggy. Avoid being hit by his Gamma Slam, or he'll cancel it into his
Hyper version, and nail your ass. Jump over the Gamma Wave and nail him with
a Jumping HP or Body Slam; it's your best way of countering the move. For the
Hyper version, jump over it, land, and Headcrush. Try your best not to get
hit by Gamma Crush, as it'll have the best chance of hitting you because you
are fat. His Gamma Charge is the answer to your Juggernaut Punch, and it beats
it unless your timing is right. Your Headcrush beats the Gamma Charge though,
so do so if your opponent is giving you lip.
----------
22. Iceman
----------
Captain Cheapass is fodder for Juggernaut. Maneuver around his Ice Beams with
jumps and Juggernaut Punches, and smack it to him when you reach him, as his
close-combat skills are crap. Your worst fear in close quarters is an AC combo
ending in Arctic Attack, but it won't happen if you keep up your offensive and
nail him whenever he tries to do anything. Although his ability to not take
block damage is excellent, his defense blows. Take advantage of that with
frequent Juggernaut Punches and Headcrushes, and you'll come out on top.
------------
23. Iron Man
------------
The Unibeam is similar to the Ice Beam, only that it's slower. Any Unibeam
spam should be countered by a jump-over and Body Slam to the face. Don't do
any Body Slamming or air assaults when Iron Man isn't doing anything; you'll
end up eating a Repulsor Blast xx Proton Cannon to the face, and that will
sting like hell. If he takes to the air and begins a Smart Bomb spam, your
options are to try to Super Jump over the projectiles and boot him in the face
or wait it out and Headcrush him when he lands. Not a difficult fight.
--------
24. Jill
--------
Jill players come in two flavors: One who uses zombies, dogs, and birds to
keep you occupied and kept away until she Rocket Launchers you(REALLY easy for
Juggernaut), or the kind that pixies you, stays in your face, and slaps you
silly with speed and combos(not as easy but not difficult). Against the keep-
away type, AS SOON as you see the surprised look on Jill's face when she's
doing one of her zombie calls, Juggernaut Punch or Headcrush. You will NAIL
her(and maybe the zombie, too). So, with the zombies gone, the birds and dogs
are left. The dogs are a little harder to punish, but punishable nonetheless.
The birds are easy to avoid by ducking (but watch out for them if you Body
Slam), so Juggernaut has Keep-Away Jill in his pocket. Combo Jill may be a bit
harder. Block when she jumps or dashes near you, push block, and Headcrush.
One thing you do not want to happen is get launched, or you'll eat an AC
ending with Elbow Tackle xx Hyper Elbow Tackle, and those hurt. As long as you
stop jump-ins with a Ducking HP and generally stay on the defensive on Combo
Jill, you'll own. Also, if she has her Heal Assist on, knock her away when she
comes out.
-------
25. Jin
-------
Jin may be hard. For his small size, he's got a whole lotta power. Beware the
Typhoon, if you get hit, he can cancel it into a Blodia Punch and knock the
poopie out of your lifebar. It's all about blocking and letting Jin have it
when one of his moves finishes, because he has some pretty crappy recovery
time. Blocked Blodia Punches or Vulcans should be Headcrushed or Juggernaut
Punched, but take care not to be doing an aerial assualt and be sucked into a
Saotome Cyclone. If he's the last character left and goes Super Saiyan, be a
bit more cautious, but follow the same strategy. Though Jin is more powerful,
it won't be enough to stop your onslaught. TYPHOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
--------------
26. Juggernaut
--------------
It's YOU! Anyways, if he throws out Juggernaut Punches and Headcrushes with
reckless abandon, punish him for tainting Juggernaut. It all comes down to
who screws up first, since both of you have awful recovery. Having a good
assist is key(Projectile Assists like Cable or Iceman or Doom AAA), but make
sure he doesn't nail your assist character with a Headcrush. Punish Body Slam
with a Ducking HP. In a battle of Headcrush, the guy who used it second will
come out on top.
-------
27. Ken
-------
Ken may be pretty fast and his Dragon Punches and Hurricane Kicks may hurt
like hell, but his special moves are pretty much make-or-break, because they
do big damage, but leave him WIDE open. You know what to do. The most alarming
thing is his Air Hurricane Kick, which is crazy strong and will knock off
something like 10% of your life PER KICK, and scrubs may like to abuse this.
If they do, block and Headcrush when they land, or try to Body Slam them when
they're in the air. Ken is largely geared toward Anti-Air, so avoid aerial
assaults and Body Slams unless they're for punishment. As for his Hypers, they
are just like his specials: very damaging, but leave him way too wide open to
just throw around. One of the easier shotokans for Juggy.
-----------
28. Magneto
-----------
Bleh. A god-tier. This fool happens to be the FASTEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME.
Anyways, prepare to get the crap rushed out of you. You do not want
to eat any of those 50+ hit combos, so block until a Headcrush chance
presents itself, which might not happen anytime soon if you're facing an
INCREDIBLE Mags player. Anyways, if you miss pretty much ANY move, you'll end
up with a faceful of Magnetic Tempest. Long-range assists are helpful here,
as you can have those back you up while you try to look for an opening to
punish. If at any point he screws up a Tempest(rare), take the oppurtunity
and HEADCRUSH him. A VERY tough fight.
----------
29. Marrow
----------
Putting an UGLY woman in a fighting game?! Unprecedented! Anyways, she's fast,
so Headcrush after you block her Bonemerangs. Always watch out for Stinger
Bones and an AC ending in Bone Buster. Towering Spine will stop any air attack
attempts. All in all, no one plays this woman because you'll face harder
battles from other pixies.
-----------------------
30. M. Bison (AKA Vega)
-----------------------
Bison can be taken care of. Bison may be strong and fast, but he isn't so good
at taking damage and he's got no real anti-Juggernaut tricks. Don't Headcrush
his Psycho Crusher HC, because they'll cancel each other out and you will have
wasted a Headcrush. Feel free to Headcrush his Knee Press Nightmare, though.
M. Bison is Juggernaut fodder. His Head Stomp can be Ducking HP'd, so do so.
His projectiles wait a certain time before exploding, so pass through them
with a Headcrush or Juggernaut Punch and laugh in his face. Not a hard fight
at all.
--------------------------
31. Mega Man (AKA Rockman)
--------------------------
His Standing HP will be abused. It's guaranteed. Either way, his main assets
are his easy projectiles, stupid voice, and weird weapons. For scrubs that
only know how to abuse the Mega Buster(common), Headcrush and Juggernaut Punch
away. If his Mega Buster is charged up, avoid getting caught in a combo. Mega
Man is just a bit too weak to overwhelm Juggers; his supers are way too slow
to come out and very punishable; for Hyper Mega Man, super jump over him
(unless he hit you into it, in which case, prepare for a world of pain) and
Headcrush/Juggernaut Punch from behind. For Rush Drill, if you're close, you
can punish him as he's going into it, but the friggin' tank is invincible once
he's in it. If he tries that stupid-ass Beat Plane; just smack the crap out of
him any time you so desire. Not a tough fight, but don't be comboed.
------------
32. Morrigan
------------
This secksy lady can be a thorn in your side because of all that speed, but
other than that, she's not hard at all. Go through Soul Fists with Juggernaut
Punches and Headcrushes(unless it's in the air, in which case Body Slam), and
block-and-punish any other moves, since her defense blows and you can lay her
out with a few good smacks. Take care to not do anything stupid yourself,
because her Hyper Combos can really punish the crap out of you. Soul Eraser
is probably the one to look out for. As long as you don't make any dumb
mistakes, you'll do well.
-------------
33. Omega Red
-------------
This dork will just throw you till you explode. You're gonna have to be
evasive, and with JUGGERNAUT, no less. Your Super Armor will be of little use
here, as his coils have been beefed up to bypass it. If you jump over any
coils, you're clear to punish, as they have disgusting recovery time. Omega
Strike is punishable. Don't get caught in Omega Destroyer, just block. Rare
fight.
------------
34. Psylocke
------------
Speedy. If she tries her Psi Blast(with that stupid accent of hers), Headcrush
immediately. Psi-Blade is punishable if blocked. A concern is if she teleports
out of the way of a Juggernaut Punch or Headcrush and leaves you WIDE open for
a psychic blast up your ass. Cancel her Psi-Thrust with a Headcrush, and if
she uses her Shinryu-ken style HC, eat her when she comes down. You can punch
her out of her retarded butterfly technique, but it's risky. Blocking is the
best course of action against that move, but the chip damage is big. If she
goes up and tries to pixie you, show her face your big fist. Speedy all in all
but not too difficult.
---------
35. Rogue
---------
Don't let her kiss you (even though she probably won't because you're so ugly)
because she gets Super Armor from you, and coupled with her speed and power,
that won't be good. Since she's a close-and-personal fighter, you don't have
to worry about approaching her. However, she's got the ability to spaz out
with her diving punches and fast moves, so be wary of that and don't let her
bog you down and let her have a Super Armor power-up. You can kick her in the
air with her dive kicks, but be on the look out for her aerial Power Drain.
Projectile assists could be useful here to disrupt her rhythm and give you
time to punish; anti-air could be useful if she spazzes. A tough fight.
--------
36. Roll
--------
Damn, she's pathetic. So pathetic, she's in her own tier. Imagine having a
god-awful country with pollution, radioactive waste everywhere, no food, no
water, etc. Now imagine being the ruler of AND only person living in that
country. That's Roll's situation. Anyways, the only move to watch out for is
Tornado Hold, because it hits multiple times and actually does damage. To
combat this, smack the crap out of her when she's calling Eddie for the
Tornado Hold, and if she somehow gets it, don't be OTG'd unless you want your
back to be raped by an LP Tornado Hold. Rock Ball could hurt, but not a lot
of people use it. Roll's Hypers are really, really awful. Hyper Roll has crap
start-up, so Super Jump behind her and Headcrush, or just pound her out of it,
or block, since it does piss chip damage. Rush Drill could be hit out of, but
it's invincible so don't get jacked up by it. Beat Plane? Pound the crap out
of it with Headcrush or Juggernaut Punch.
--------------
37. Ruby Heart
--------------
Not too difficult. Swarzchille(however the hell you spell it) is EXTREMELY
vulnerable when she's over with it. Just make sure not to get caught in it or
she'll cancel into the Hyper version and flame your ugly butt. In any case,
watch out for Fantome, because it'll drain that beautiful HC energy of yours.
I've seen some good Ruby players cancel Sublimation into her ship HC at the
exact right moment for some big damage, but it's rare and it shouldn't happen
to you. Other than her ship and Hyper Swarzchille, her HCs blow...Mille
Fantomes has such ridiculous start-up; Super Jump behind her and Headcrush her
if she pulls that ghostie crap. Her Tour de Magie thing is just dumb, so she
probably won't use it. Anyways, as long as you don't get caught in a complex
Swarzchille combo, you'll pound her face into the groumd.
-------
38. Ryu
-------
HADOKEN! Some scrubs pick him and HADOKEN! until they get a level of HC, then
they SHINKUU...HADOKEN! Treat this scrub as you would a Megaman or Cyclops
scrub: Headcrush/Juggernaut Punch through Hadokens, Super Jump and Body Slam
through the Shinkuu Hadokens. AWAY SCRUB! For actual good people, apply above
strategy if they are foolish enough to use a surplus of Hadokens/Shinkuu
Hadokens. The HP Shoryuken is adept at pushing you back and setting up for a
Hadoken frenzy, but any version of the move is easily punished if blocked.
Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku(good lord) is one of his better moves, but not against
Juggers. Punish if he uses, but be very careful that he doesn't cancel it into
the Shinkuu version. The important thing is to not get hit by Shinkuu-Hadoken,
as Juggernaut gets eaten alive by Beam Supers. The easiest Street Fighter
shotokan.
--------------
39. Sabretooth
--------------
Strength and speed are on this guy's side. This is SIMILAR, but not nearly
the SAME, as fighting a bigger, stronger Wolverine. Tooth has got a very fast
special in the form of Berserker Claw. You can't punish that unless you block.
His Birdie Call leaves him wide open, so punish as you see fit. Be sure to
block Hyper Birdie and punish afterwards...if you can tell, I know **** about
fighting this guy.
----------
40. Sakura
----------
She's got speed, decent strength, and small size. This is a tough fight for
Juggernaut. She can easily jump over your Juggernaut Punches and bombard you
with Hadokens. To counter this, stay more defensive. You need only fear
Hadokens if she is Dark Sakura. As Normal Sakura, the thing to watch out for
is Shouken, cuz that thing hits a lot and can smack you around. Super Jump
over it. Her HCs won't be any problem, because the only one that focuses on
ground is only really effective in combos(which you won't get hit by, right?)
and is easily blocked otherwise. Don't get smacked around by Shinkuu Hadokens,
Normal or Dark, because you'll take hefty damage. Counter her Hurricane Kick
equivalent with a ducking HP and follow up with a combo. As Dark Sakura, the
thing to fear is an Ashura Warp behind you(when you're doing one of your huge
recovery moves) and follow up with a Shinkuu Hadoken. If that happens, prepare
to bleed. To counter this, trip her up with Ducking LK, MK, follow up with
an Earthquake Punch, and Headcrush! Yay!
------------
41. Sentinel
------------
Wow. This is stupid. Juggernaut is the ONLY guy who would actually survive in
a power duel. One of your best weapons is the D. LK, D.MK, Earthquake xx
Headcrush/Juggernaut Punch combo, as it'll do hefty damage even to Sentinel,
but be sure to watch out for any stupid counters or lasers he might have.
Your Headcrush goes THROUGH Hyper Sentinel Force. Goodie. Watch your opponent
and his dumbfounded face when your mighty brown head goes through his nine
Sentinel buddies. Unfortunately, the fun won't stop there! If Sentinel gets
you in a corner and lands an HSF, you're screwed; he'll do his HP laser to
hit you OTG; than HSF again. Repeat until all of his meter is gone. Juggernaut
is dead and/or critically wounded. So CORNER = BAD! If he takes to the sky,
try to Body Slam and/or Ducking HP/Jumping HK him out of it. Ridiculous fight.
-----------------------
42. Servbot (AKA Kobun)
-----------------------
This little crap has nothing on you(though he's cyoot). Anyways, one of this
nerd's greatest moves, The Servbot Grab Assist, won't work on you(YAY Super
Armor)! Unfortunately, none of his hypers can be canceled good enough. On
any of his Servbot Rush specials, you may nail the actual one, but you'll
still be eating Servbot if you do. For King Servbot, you may land the 'Crush,
but you won't cancel out the HC, so you get a face full of hammer. But then
again, this is Servbot; he does piss damage and can't take hits for his life.
Have fun walking all over this dork.
----------------
43. Shuma-Gorath
----------------
This guy has great grappling skills, and you suck at avoiding those. Counter
those jump-ins with an HP or else you'll be eating Devitalization. Avoid
Mystic Stare. Counter Blocked Mystic Smashes, and try to Super Jump over any
Hyper Mystic Smashes. As you can see, the only thing you've got to fear is
being grappled like a fool. Chaos Dimension? STAY AWAY, you fool. Trying to
Headcrush him in Chaos Dimension mode is the last thing you'll ever do(unless
you happened to OTG him into it, in which case, good for you). All you've got
to do is counter anything by knocking him away, in which case he can't do much
harm to you. Headcrush when he does something stupid.
------------------
44. Silver Samurai
------------------
One of this guy's best assets is his insane chipping. Don't block too many of
his Shurikens, and be SURE as hell you don't block a Cho-Shuriken, as they
chip just way too much damage. Try not to get launched, because you'll be
eating Raimenken(which RAPES if you're in the air), or an AC. Against his Fire
Mode, take ADVANTAGE of his wuss defense, as only a few Juggernaut Punches
will lay him out in that state, but be aware of his totally jacked-up attack.
Against Ice Mode, do not Headcrush; his incredible defense will make that
effort a waste, and if he goes into Ice x3, don't go on the offensive, you
fool; wait him out, as he has all of his offense, the same amazing defense,
AND Hyper Armor to boot. Against Lightning Mode, take care not to get caught
in a combo; increased comboability is the Lightning Mode's main strength, so
expect Lightning-users to be all over you when they engage that mode. Against
any Element x3s, try your best to wait it out, using Projectile Assists, push
blocks, rolls, whatever you can to keep him the hell away from you.
----------
45. SonSon
----------
PUNISH. Some of her moves are near-suicidal. Those stupid monkeys of hers are
extremely punishable, Her Seitenrengeki is punishable when she lands, her
Hypers have extreme recovery, and her Heal Assist is just asking to be owned.
Her Wall Walk thing can just be Ducking HP'd. SonSon's offense isn't great,
her defense isn't that much better, and her recovery leaves something to be
desired. Butcher her.
--------------
46. Spider-Man
--------------
Spider-Man won't be difficult. Your Ducking LK, MK, Earthquake XX Headcrush
combo will knock off most of his life, and a lot of his moves leave you with
the oppurtunity to do that. If he jumps in, ducking HP and Body Slam. If he
does the HC where he rushes at you, Headcrush. You'll beat his candy ass out
of the stage. His Web Ball will do damage, but you won't get caught in a web
due to your Super Armor. I think his Web Throw works, but I'm not sure. In
any case, Spider-Man is an easy fight for Juggy.
----------
47. Spiral
----------
WTF. I know NOTHING of fighting her. Her teleport is nigh unpunishable due
to the fact that it has no recovery time. She may super jump to the corner
and pull sword after sword on you, so if that happens, don't block a lot or
you'll be chipped to death. Her Metamorphasis is ridiculous, so watch out
there...if she takes to the sky, try an anti-air assist or Super Jump to Body
Slam. Good luck.
---------
48. Storm
---------
The second typhooner. Her Typhoon has pretty good recovery, so Super Jump and
Jumping HP. Try your best to pressure her into the corner with LPs, fast moves
and LP Juggernaut Punch. Once there, rip into her, because Storm is not good
at taking a sustained Juggernaut assault. One thing not to do is try to match
her in an air fight; in addition to amazing air moves and a great air throw,
she's got her Lightning Storm HC. If she messes up on a super, Headcrush.
The main thing is to forget about air fighting with her; her ACs are deathly
to you, and her Lightning Storm will own you. As long as you keep pressuring
her and keep her in the corner, the fight is yours.
-----------------
49. Strider Hiryu
-----------------
Strider isn't too tough of a fight. His Ourobouros can do damage, but are
generally not threatening, considering your high defense. Unless you are
careless, you won't get caught in a giant Ourobouros mega combo. Treat the
animals like Jill's zombies, and Super Jump to avoid the insane chip of the
Legion HC. Instead of calling an assist to counter the animals, Juggernaut
Punch or Headcrush. Every hit counts against this guy, so utilize all of your
punishing tricks to keep him pressured.
----------
50. Thanos
----------
If this bad boy gets a whole lotta HC gauge, you'll be eating it if you make
too many mistakes. You can't Headcrush through ANY of his HCs(unless you
brilliantly time it when he's using Gauntlet Space), so be wary. Gauntlet
Reality is the one to watch out for, as it pops up where you are and does good
damage. Gauntlet Soul comes in second; it may do the least damage of his HCs,
but it comes out hellishly fast and refills his red health. If you block it,
though, he'll be standing there in that stupid pose for like 2 seconds, so
