In Japanese, the word for Friday is Kin'yōbi, often just shortened to the "Kin" part. The number 2 in Japanese is Ni, while the number 9 is Kyū. Put together, you get ""Kin Ni-Kyū", which sounds similar to "Kinniku" (as in, the Japanese word for "Muscle"). That is why every Friday the 29th in Japan is "Kinniku Day", a celebration of the Kinnikuman series.



The next Kinniku Day falls on November 29th of this year. So we figured hey, why not hold an online Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2 online tournament to celebrate it?



Tournament Details

The tournament will be held at 8 PM EST on Friday, 11/29/2019. The date is set for obvious reasons, but the time is tentative; if you're signed up, come discuss different times on the Discord!

Free entry. Just make sure you're signed up, joined the Discord and show up when it is time for the tournament.

entry. Just make sure you're signed up, joined the Discord and show up when it is time for the tournament. There will at least be a $20 pot bonus. This is subject to change, but if it does, it's only going up.

Tournament will be conducted on a PC emulator with netplay via Parsec. Please download the client from their website prior to the actual tournament. If you are unsure about your connection or any of the logistics with Parsec, feel free to @ or DM me on Discord (fishtrabs#2818) and we can have a trial run.



Tournament is open to NA only. This may be unfortunate, but this is to reduce any egregiously bad connection matches from occurring.

In a similar vein, should your connection be so poor as to be a problem, you are subject to a DQ. Please understand.

Double elimination bracket; 2/3 games until WF/LF/GF, where it will be 3/5 games.

Rounds, Damage and Time are all set to default.

Every match will be streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/fishtrabs, as much as time allows and provided there are no technical difficulties.



Finally, and I cannot emphasize this enough, please join our Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2 Discord! This would be the primary way for me to contact you for the tournament, and where any possible changes for the tournament will first be posted. Our Discord also has a ton of great resources and helpful people if you are interested in learning the game.
