Kinnikuman MGP2 🔜 Frosty Faustings XVIII

Kinnikuman MGP2 is so great. I keep thinking of stuff I need to practice or new questions about the workings of the game lol

UMAD plans are ideally running Cyberbots, Sailor Moon S, and Kinnikuman MGP2. I think I'll leave it at that b/c I know if I add more it will be too much and I won't be able to enjoy the rest of the damn event!!

@polarbair.neocities.org is trying to get a vibe check on people going to #UMAD2026 in August. I can't make it unfortunately, but if there is enough interest/demand, they're thinking about hosting an MGP2 bracket. If you're planning to go and wanna play some MGP2, like/comment below!

Also, note that we recorded just about all pool matches (though quality might be a bit iffy), so if you want to see more of the bracket beyond Top 4, look forward to my stream sometime this week where I'll stream them with commentary! Watch this space.

I just realized I never posted this, so here you go: Congrats to the Top 8 for Kinnikuman MGP2 at #VGFFXVIII! Feels great to run an officially supported bracket after so long. Big shoutouts to @956.productions for the opportunity! #FFXVIII2026

For the last time this weekend: Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix at #FFXVIII2026 day 4! We're set up in the Lilac Ballroom, across from the TO desk, so get your final games in! #VGFFXVIII

Congratulations to your Top 4 Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2 at #FFXVIII2026!
