Speed Buster

==Summary==
Speed Buster is the 3rd ranked assassin from the original "No More Heroes". An old lady that lives in the abandoned Speed City, she is one of the oldest assassins seen in the game. She is a misandrist that believes men are stubborn and foolish and loves to kill people who don't care about their own lives. She seems to be lacking in combat skills, however she is a very dangerous foe due to her powerful beam cannon, who kills Travis' master Thunder Ryu before losing to the former.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: Likely physically, , possibly with Buster Launcher
Name: Speed Buster, real name unknown
Origin: No More Heroes
Gender: Female
Age: 76
Classification: #3 Ranked Assassin
Powers and Abilities: Weapon Mastery, Limited Transformation (Her giant weapon can disguise as a shopping cart), Explosion Manipulation and Energy Projection (Via Buster Launcher), Preparation (Seemingly recruited groups of thugs to ambush Travis), Extrasensory Perception and Precognition (There are many examples of normal people in Suda51's games being capable of instinctually sensing or perceiving things they could otherwise not know, with some examples being shown by entire groups or populations of people. As a capable combatant, her instincts should be far superior to those of the average person, and even relatively low tier combatants are capable of sensing others' bloodlust or presence through their instincts, though this is unknown due to her indirect combat method), possibly Instinctive Reaction (A fighter's instincts are honed as they become more powerful, with even people such as pro bikers being capable of entering a state where their bodies react to issues automatically and entire species of alien warriors being capable of fighting through sheer instinct. Various highly skilled fighters such as Travis Touchdown, Shinobu Jacobs or The Killer7 have shown the ability to predict attacks instinctually, though it is unknown if Speed Buster has this due to her indirect combat method)
Attack Potency: Likely Athlete level physically (Able to withstand her gun's recoil). Building level, possibly City Block level+ with the Buster Launcher (Can hurt Travis Touchdown even if he blocks it, caused the destruction of the city Speed Buster is fought in, albeit in an unknown timeframe. Pulverized a wall of stone despite most of her beam having been deflected by Thunder Ryu)
Speed: Below Average Human (Seems to be out of shape and overweight) with Hypersonic+ attack speed with Buster Launcher (Can tag Travis)
Lifting Strength: Class 5 (Can handle the recoil of her cannon)
Striking Strength: Likely Athlete level
Durability: Likely Athlete level (Able to withstand her gun's recoil)
Stamina: Unknown
Range: Several kilometers with Buster Launcher (its beam is also able to affect a width of several meters, even more than its thickness would suggest)
Standard Equipment: Buster Launcher
Intelligence: Likely Average, while she is an experienced assassin Speed Buster seems to favor sheer power over anything else, although she does still seem to be quite wise in her own ways.
Standard Tactics: If her boss battle is any indication, Speed Busters likes to fight in the right chokepoints, challenging Thunder Ryu and then Travis from the opposite end of a long street, with her beam being just wide enough to sweep through all of it. While the street did contain various places to hide from the beam, they were all guarded by armed goons, possibly hired by Buster herself.
Weaknesses: Despite the overwhelming power of the Buster Launcher, Speed Buster is just an old lady with limited combat abilities. She is suffering from hearing loss, as confirmed by the Design Materials 143 Trading Card in NMH1. Hitting the Buster Launcher's barrel as it's firing, even with something as relatively weak as a telephone pole falling on it, will render it useless for a while.
