Having Juggernaut on your team grants you access to the THC Headcrush, even when he's an assist, abuse it if you have the meter and your team allows for it. With Juggernaut as an assist you can THC and his Headcrush has a chance to be unblockable as long as your opponent isn't already in blockstun and you are relatively close to them. This works because THC Headcrush will reach the opponent before the super freeze signals that the opponent can block, but frame skip is what ultimately decides if the Headcrush will connect. | Having Juggernaut on your team grants you access to the THC Headcrush, even when he's an assist, abuse it if you have the meter and your team allows for it.

Marko and was serving together in the same U.S. military unit as his stepbrother Xavier in Asia. Marko ended up in a cave that housed the lost secret temple of Cyttorak, a powerful mystical entity. Marko impulsively grabbed a glowing ruby from the lap of an idol and read the inscription (which mystically appeared to his mind to be in English): "Whosoever touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Henceforth, you who read these words shall become forevermore a human juggernaut." The gem's mystical power transformed Marko into a larger, superhuman being. Just then high, explosive bombardment from the enemy caused a cave-in, and Marko was buried under several thousand tons of rock.

Body Press Body Press One of the only assists in the entire game that has to be blocked high. Can be used as an anti-air or to create an unblockable mixup. Very long recovery so Juggernaut needs a little extra protection compared to his other assists. Has no super armor once Juggernaut is in the air.

Strategies
Juggernaut offers the most utility as an assist. With no real options for dealing with runaway a lot of matchups are going to feel like a struggle. Juggernaut is slow, easy to cross-up and combo, uses meter far better than he builds it, everything he does is relatively unsafe and expensive to protect, and he has no super armor in the air. However, Juggernaut has one thing that changes him from an annoyance into a problem, the Power-Up glitch.
Your first goal with Juggernaut is to activate his Power-Up glitch as soon as possible. The fewer bars of meter the opponent has when you change to another character, the harder it will be for them to punish you, especially if you change to a character with high vitality. Once glitched, your assists offers game-changing amounts of damage and your Headcrush threatens to one-shot many popular assists.
Your second goal with Juggernaut is to land his assist as many times as possible. Juggernaut has a lot of health but he's not invincible, his large size means it's going to be harder for him to avoid damage so be ready to protect him when your opponent retaliates. A glitched Juggernaut Punch can kill any assist in 3-5 hits instead of 5-7 hits which makes counter-calling your opponent's assists a powerful, meterless threat.
Your third goal with Juggernaut is to land his Headcrush as many times as possible. Headcrush is pretty easy to combo into from most of Juggernaut's normal buttons, but landing that initial hit can sometimes be difficult. The best buttons to approach an opponent with are probably going to be jumping and jumping . A throw when near the corner often turns into a guaranteed Headcrush and a potential touch of death with the right assist. The THC Headcrush is unmashable but has a faster startup than a normal Headcrush allowing for monstrous whiff punishes. A DHC from a better point character into Headcrush can turn a stray hit into a potentially favorable match.
Cyttorak Power-Up Glitch
The Power-Up glitch increases the damage for Juggernaut on every attack, not just the very next one. The glitch only needs to be performed once per match unless you accidentally deactivate it later. To activate the glitch Juggernaut needs to Power-Up, then change to a different character without finishing an attack or otherwise canceling the effect. If Juggernaut isn't flashing when he leaves the screen then the glitch probably wasn't executed correctly.
When Juggernaut is brought back into play and uses Power-Up again the glitch is deactivated.
When attempting to setup the glitch, the following moves can be whiffed without removing any of the Power-Up effect:

+ 
- +
Juggernaut will remain flashing if any of these moves hit, but he will not have the increased damage. Also, performing an additional Power-Up in this state will not give the increased damage back. In this exact situation, the only way to be sure you're gaining the damage increase is to remove the original flashing effect by using any other attacks, then performing another Power-Up.
THC Headcrush
The normal Headcrush is one of Juggernaut's most consistent and punishing threats. The THC Headcrush, on the other hand, has some interesting differences that bring some much needed depth to the table. THC Headcrush is unmashable which might mean less damage up-front, but is Juggernaut's fastest attack by a huge margin. This extra speed allows it to punish basically everything your grounded opponent might consider safe and has the added benefit of being unblockable in certain situations.
Unblockable THC
Having Juggernaut on your team grants you access to the THC Headcrush, even when he's an assist, abuse it if you have the meter and your team allows for it. With Juggernaut as an assist you can THC and his Headcrush has a chance to be unblockable as long as your opponent isn't already in blockstun and you are relatively close to them. This works because THC Headcrush will reach the opponent before the super freeze signals that the opponent can block, but frame skip is what ultimately decides if the Headcrush will connect.
