Jushin Liger 獣神ライガー/ファイヤーライガー (1989 debut ver.)

First up for my detour int 80s/90s New Japan Juniors, it's the debut version of one of the all time greats, Jushin Liger! This was when his mask and outfit design were more closely based on the anime from which his character was derived and he had a significantly different moveset from the 90s Liger most are familiar with. He debuted as "Beast God Liger" then leveled up to "Fire Liger" later in the year (like his animated counterpart) although the announcers still tended to just call him Jushin Liger.

This EDIT is based on how he wrestled in 1989, taking the Jr. division by storm in racking up wins against Kuniaki Kobayashi, Hiroshi Hase, Shiro Koshinaka, and all of the top Jrs in the company before hitting the brick wall that was Naoki Sano, his first great feud. Stats & Parameters slightly modified from 6MS, major overhaul of moves and logic. 4 outfits (Jushin Liger, Fire Liger w/ kickpads, Fire Liger w/ boots, Fire Liger w/ shoulderpads)

Credit to memetadesu for his great Liger appearance that I only made some slight changes to. You can find it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1094341583

Note: Since the "Liger Suplex" (An Arm-Trap, Leg Hook German Suplex) is not in the game, I substituted it with the Tiger Suplex 04 since it lands about the closest. Enjoy!
