Thanks to your tips, I finally got passed Glass Joe after over 30 years of trying. Im working on Kaiser now. Wish me luck!! 😃
Good luck, in another 30 years you might get to Piston Honda, you can do it :)
U got a better chance of beating the real Kaiser or the real Tyson
Is that you, Mike?
Still can’t get past joe :(
Is this a joke?
Mike Tyson starting the fight hitting like a sledgehammer, but slowly tiring and weakening as the fight goes on is one of the most realistic things Nintendo ever did.
I wonder if they studied his fights? Its really cool how it translates to the game.
How many Tyson fights have you watched? This game came out before the Tokyo Buster Douglas fight. Granted most of Tyson's wins before that were early blow outs but some went the distance and Tyson showed no signs of tiring.
@@kyoku1982 My guess is that it is just coincidence. As time goes on in real fights, fighters get tired. Often this means that their punches are not as strong as they were at the beginning of the fight. Nintendo may have just wanted to program this general rule into the fight with Tyson. There is an octopus boss in Final Fantasy 2 that has a similar issue. Check it out:
ruclips.net/video/SCoeltxWud8/видео.html
@@MarkS-gm3sf Or they just wanted to show some small mercy to players who survived the early barrage.
@@kyoku1982 This seems like a logical explanation. I made Little Mac fight Mike Tyson so many times in my lifetime, that I had to come up with new ways of making the final fight challenging again, in order to have an excuse to keep playing my favorite video game hahaha :). I ended up creating a Game Genie code that completely stops the timer, thus keeping Mike Tyson is his deadly 1 hit uppercuts phase for the entire fight. I also came up with a no three knockdown rule code for the opponents and combined them together during the following fight, while also playing blindfolded:
ruclips.net/video/8e0k4SHSOWc/видео.html
That's how much I love this fight hahaha!
I managed to beat Tyson twice, and record it once on my old VCR. I gathered all the tips I could, and started at the beginning to work my way up. I lost far more than I would ever win, but it brought me back to try again and again. As an adult who has not won this since the early 90s, I find it far more difficult, and have forgotten all the tricks I ever knew. Great video, brought back a ton of memories.
Make sure you are playing this game on a CRT tv and with a Nes type Controller. A lot of people play this on hd. You can't it lags too much for this game.
I tried playing on an emulator on a tablet with a shitty controller. Glass Joe knocked me down.

awesome you beat Mike Tyson two times
@@tonyp9313any reccomendations for a cheap one
For bald bull #2 and piston Honda #2, there isn’t a guy with a camera flash but there is a bearded guy on the left hand side that nods his head at the correct timing. It’s a secret that was more mysterious than the camera flash.
All of these years I never noticed the bearded guy. WOW! Thank you :)
I will rewatch this again and be on the look out for that bearded guy, but speaking of a bearded guy nodding at the right moment, I recall Mr.Myagi being that bearded guy that nodded to Daniel at the moment before he delivered the crane kick to Cobra Kai Johnny's noggin in the Karate Kid. Ha ha
No wait a sec, actually Mr.Myagi nodded in approval afterwards, when Daniel got the trophy. I think his cue nod was in Karate Kid part 2 near the end when Daniel faces off against Chosen. Daniel sets up his knockout crane attack, when he briefly looks over at Mr.Myagi who nods quietly, as if to say, "Yeah go for it." Too bad for Daniel when Chosen countered it though.
Yes, that helps a lot.
I was just going to post this! The nod is MUCH more subtle and quicker than the camera flash with less reaction time, but it definitely works!
I just posted it...d'oh
I like the game history in the beginning. Good walkthrough. Good dog mascot.
Thanks Joseph!
If a "Channel Playlist" isn't made soon, I'mma make my own.

A couple tips for Mr. Sandman:
-Watch his gloves before Dreamland Express. He will shift them slightly before attacking!
-If you don't know when he's going to do it, try punching him in the face. If be blocks and doesn't counter, that means it's coming.
-Speaking of punching him in the face, that's actually the best way to beat him! Besides mentioned above and the rolling jabs, he will always counter, which in turns allows YOU to counter him every single time! Just watch your stamina and remember the Dreamland Express and you'll be beat him.
I always liked how King Hippo gets increasingly frustrated with you blocking and dodging that he opens up his own weakness by opening his mouth, telling you to stay still 😂 it feels like a real rare moment in games back then where your opponent showed emotion to what your character is doing.
I remember seeing this at WAL-MART when it was released. The game was so popular that as a demo they had an actual NES in a clear box with a locked key with two controllers sticking out two holes. It was such a massive hit people were lined up clear out the door just to play it once!
You can get stars on first Don Flamenco after you knock him down by immediately delivering a left bodyblow. This can be repeated until he is knocked down by bodyblows only.
oh, good tip!
Yeah, but not nearly as quick of a KO that way. We're not looking for style points, only the easiest way to beat him, and UCBVG nailed it.
If you press left body blow (b) repeatedly after knocking him down with the pattern as shown in the video, Don will be knocked down again, and will not get up. KO easy...
Don Flamenco after dodging his uppercut....just hit him with a timed rhythm and it's a easy knock down
You can get stars by punching him then dodging then if you are quick enough punch him in the face. You can ko him in like 15 sec. But the way easier method is just to punch left, right like he did in this vid.
This is the best NES channel since AVGN! So much effort goes into these vids
I agree !!!
I agree 💯
Facts!
Summoning Salt's world record progression videos are incredible also.
avgn is dead. he hasnt made a worth watching episode since 2017
This is one of the first games I ever beat as a kid, not counting games like Kung Fu that you could "beat" but play infinitely.
Yes!! This game. Silliness, pattern-recognition, memerable characters. Thanks for covering this one.
Thanks Carlton! I think was my favorite video that I've made for the channel. There was just so much cool stuff to dig into with this game - the history, the tricks, the intense fight with Tyson - everything really came together for this game
I still remember the first time I beat Tyson, even 30+ years later it's one of my favorite video game related moments of all time. I still have an old photo of me in front of the screen somewhere in a box.
That's great you beat Mike Tyson
Amazing!! I’ll be practicing this for sure. I’m 40, but still want to impress my “playground” work friends.
One thing I didn’t here you cover; anytime an opponent gets up on a 1 count, he will get knocked down with a single uppercut. Great video, I always had to have my brother beat macho man for me! I could beat Tyson, but not Macho man. Gonna blow the dust out of the cartridge and give it a try with your tips.
This channel has the vibe of early/pre-2010’s RUclips, but the professionalism and technical skill of modern content. Perfect balance. Actually giving the Dragon Warrior series the time of day was enough to get me to subscribe but this cemented it.
I remember figuring out all these tactics when I was a kid. This was one of my fav NES games.
One additional thing - I'm pretty sure all the opponents can be beat in the first round.
Africa for Africa, Asia for Asians, White countries for Everyone?!
Force-assimilating an identifiable national or racial group out of existence is geNOcide according to UN Law.
Anti-white is called anti-racist, but it leads to the disappearance of one race and only one
race, the white race.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.
dafuq you babbling about?!? smfh
Have your strats changed any now that summoning salt has taken the normal punch out and blindfolded punch out records even lower?
It speaks to great game design that these games can even be played blindfolded. I only recently saw the super Mario brothers one blindfolded runs. The only things that I learned as a kid were different places where I could close my eyes when they got tired, but I had no clue it was possible.
@@Sonicstillpoint83 Nah. I'm just a casual punchout player. I use the same techniques I used as a kid to play the game.
Definitely one of my favorites as a kid, I could actually get to Tyson and maybe even beat him once or twice, still very replayabe today!
This game definitely holds up!
That's awesome it was one of your favorites as a kid
I take advantage of the fact that you get a large supply of hearts for the Sandman fight. Once he's at the point where he's throwing right hooks, after I do the jab to the face and the 3 body blows, I immediately throw another jab to the face. He will dodge it, and then immediately follow up with a right hook. Dodge, that, punish with the jab to the face and 3 body blows, rinse and repeat. This takes all of the guesswork out of the fight, because if he doesn't dodge your jab but instead blocks it, you know the Dreamland Express is coming.
What a great vid series! Just a tip- surprisingly about 80% of the punches in the game are able to be countered. I went back later and learned them all for example an uppercut to your left is often countered by left body blow. You can earn stars against pretty much every character this way. There's almost always a punch to counter theirs.
Yaaaay!, somebody else knows about the left/right combo with the first Don Flamenco. I discovered this as a kid and after 30 years, this is the first time I've heard anybody else talk about it.
I also knew about this as a kid. I thought it was common knowledge
Me too, it’s pretty obvious 😂
@@PoeticProphetic IT WAS/IS
You're talking about the first Don Flamenco? Yeah I knew that as a kid only playing it like 4-5 times. It something I discovered by accident.
Even when he makes videos in games i love and know how to complete 100% i still come here for the history and back story of the games.
Game would drive me crazy with the Mario pausing his count lol
For...SO LONG too. One..Two..Three....................Four...five...six.....................seven.... lol
33:08 very important tip. Mr Sandman was the farthest I ever got. Never able to see his pattern. I've made peace with it. Great video
During Super Macho Man's delay, you can watch 'sunglasses guy' in the crowd on the right side for timing on the single spin punch since Macho just kinda throws it out there, unlike his multi-spin which has a pause before he attacks.
Never beat this but love the game and it's so rare to have a game where the final boss is the hardest boss of the game I'm glad this one did it with tyson
They really did it with this one! Tyson feels legit
I wish more games employeed the "1 chance to win" that this game does. It really adds replay value. Forcing you to replay the entire game makes you practice. Punch out is amazing... It's top 5 NES game for sure.
One of the best things about Punch Out is that even when you're replaying it over and over, trying to get that perfect 14-0 record, it never stops being fun.
well i mean it did have passcodes, so you didn't *have * to play the whole thing again. but if you practiced the first circuit and got a perfect score, you could 'save' that progress. and on and on.
It only works when the game is as short and difficulty as Punch Out. If this philosophy was employed to a game like Breath of the Wild, it'd be annoying and dumb.
@@envy8228TLOU is that way too and everyone loves to play on permadeath.
Bald bull was the game of my existence for a long time. When I finally beat him I got so excited, jumping up and down on the couch just to slip and fall into the coffee table. Earned 3 stitches that day!
there is a trick I remember to recharge your health after the first round of each opponent. during the cutscene into the next round you either tap or hold select and it will recharge any health lost in the previous round.
Correct. I know that holding select between a round works, I've never tried just tapping it. You can use that health gain trick once per fight.
You can tell if you did that trick correctly if you see Doc Louis tapping Little Mac's shoulder faster than normal
Mr. Sandman was always harder to me. I never beat Tyson but i got his rythym down. Sandman felt like a human was controlling him
Sandman really ramps the difficulty up! Makes you feel like dodging for no reason other than nerves.
I actually kicked his ass like 3 times in a row when I finally figured how to easily ko him. It was very satisfying.
i was able to beat tyson, but it was many years after the fact and took most of my summer vacation of 1999. I traded a friend my SNES for his NES for the summer, and i played Punch-Out like it was a frigging JOB. it took weeks of practice and memorization but i was able to finally do it.
For Bald Bull's 2nd fight, the guy with the beard in the upper left corner nods right before BB punches. It was discovered a couple of years ago.
Nice guide. I beat the game a few times, but cool to see different strategies. Didn't know how easy the Flamenco fight could be
Thanks, Thibaut! I found a lot of great stuff while researching this one - some of it I didn't even know!
In the second Bald Bull fight, watch the guy in the audience with the beard, he'll queue you to counter the bull charge.
That's the secret I'd been looking for. Man, that makes him a lot easier.
That's amazing, I would've never noticed that. That guy never moves any other time in the game!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames he'll also queue you to counter the piston punch in the second fight with Honda.
The bottom right camera on Bull 1 does the same.
Edit: Was said in the vid. I feel dumb now. Here is another fact then. You can see Mr. Sandman in a ready stance right before the dreamland express.
Came to check the comments if anyone would mention this or not. This was only discovered a few years ago so it's not too well known.
The thumbnail picture you created for this video is friggin' awesome! You are undeniably talented and creative. I would love to see more. 👍👍
You can also beat Bald Bull's "Bull Charge" by waiting for him to do his 3rd hop toward Mac and throw a body shot and that will knock him down. That should help with the second time you fight him. It works in your first encounter with him too. You also get more energy back from the shoulder rub trick between rounds by pushing the "select" button multiple times.
Cows go "moo".
I always got stuck on Bald Bull as a kid, I had no problems with anyone until him. It’s like a different game to me after that. Also I never knew about the quick dodge until this video. Now I have to try this game again. Great video
“Mr Dream looks like Vanilla Ice on steroids”. Sooo, John Cena?
thats great lol
Bruh
Nailed it.
hahaha
Lol🤣
I remember for the longest I didn't know how to beat King Hippo till someone told me how back in the late 80's early 90's
The sense of accomplishment after beating him as a kid is at the top of my list of coolest things ever.
I actually finally beat Tyson about 8 years ago, I think. It was by decision. As a kid I could always get to him, but was never able to put him down. I'm glad I did. But although I never thought I'd try again, I think I will using these tips.
Great videos, I'm binge watching them now. I just wanted to mention that the reason for the 1-uppercut knockdowns are because the opponent got up on a 1-count. If they get up on 1, it means an uppercut will knock them down no matter their energy level. But it really only happens early on though.
EDIT: Except for Soda Popinski! Wow, didn't know that trick!
I've beaten Tyson on this game several times in the past with lots of practice. Basically you need to enable ultra instinct on the 1st round and dodge all his split second uppercuts. It gets much easier after that. 🥊
I beat Mike Tyson in Rd 2, love this channel!
Remember watching a kid in the neighborhood back in the day who could somehow knock him out in round 1, but I'll leave that challenge for another day...
Great video!
I remember I think being in junior high when I was THREE HITS away from taking Tyson down in round 1.
Also: the reason the NES seems faster is because of modern flatscreen display lag.
All flatscreens introduce an amount of display lag, a delay between receiving a frame of data and when it's reflected on the screen. Sometimes it's surprisingly long but even good ones add a little. CRTs don't generally add this, and so you can react more rapidly. Most games don't have direct tests of reaction time without some game elements there to help lessen the blow on people with naturally slower reflexes, like with the various boxers' patterns and tendencies, but Punch-Out is very reflex-based in the Tyson fight.
The best thing I can suggest, if you can't play on a CRT, is to put your television in game mode, if it has one. Most screens do a bit of processing to the image to try to make it look nicer, but game mode tells the screen not to bother with that, which can reduce some (although not all) of that lag.
So I've playing on a modern projector, and if I play on a NES and connect through Component cables I have no lag that I can notice. I can definitely notice lag playing on the NES Classic Mini, or the Switch. It seems like anything connected through HDMI is laggy.
I would like to get a good CRT going so I can play with the Zapper. Def can't do that on my setup
It's less the fault of HDMI connection and more of modern displays, it's how they are, that's why lower input lag is used as a selling point by companies.
The lower refresh rate of the usual flat screen monitor also doesn't help with fast moving things.
@@maesejesus Yep, I believe this is correct, it's not HDMI for the most part but the flat screen technology. Thing is, most HDMI displays are also flatscreens, just due to the fact that both it and flat screen displays hit the market at about the same time.
I never could beat Tyson until I learned of the password to go straight to him from a Nintendo Power magazine. This was pre-internet, kids...
That password was clutch!
007 373 5963
yes when there was mystery left in the world, when video games were a great story.
I think my greatest achievement in video games ever was knocking out Mike Tyson in the 2nd round.
Prob one of my best also.
Definitely one of my best memories. The pure joy after all the hard work to beat Tyson.. Mike Tyson Punchout is certainly top 3 all time favorite for me..
Just beat Tyson this week, for the first time since I got the game for my birthday in 1989. Very satisfying.
_"You don't need to like boxing to enjoy Punch Out"_ This is also true for many sports games on the NES. I'm not a sports fan _at all,_ but I enjoyed this one, Ring King, Pro Wrestling, Golf, Double Dribble, Baseball, and of course Tecmo Bowl.
Mr Sandman has been my boogeyman for years. I've only ever had this game on modern systems (Wii U, Switch), and I couldn't avoid the Dreamland Express due to the input lag. But even with blind dodges, I could never seem to avoid it. The timing of his punches after the first one seemed wildly inconsistent as to whether you needed a full dodge or quick dodge. And I'd swear half the time his sprite would never change or flash like it does on NES footage. Maybe it's bad emulation? In any case, I managed to beat him thanks to sheer luck on anticipating the Express and hours of studying his other moves. Super Macho Man went down in mere minutes afterward. I think I'll save Mr. Dream for another day and just be satisfied with the win. Thanks for the video!
The tell for sandman dreamland express is so short that modern tvs actually can't play it in time it only shoes on older ones ap that might be why
Edit:Just realised it's 11 months old my bad
When we were kids and didn't understand boxing or really what was going on we always thought that doc was stealing the bike and we were chasing him lol. Yeah I know, it's horrible.
but then they become friends, and that's why he's in the corner with Mac while he's in the ring? That would be a really weird back story.
Hahahahaha
For Macho Man's single spin punch, watch the dude with the shades in the front row near Macho Man's corner. He'll pull them down between the long delay and the punch.
For Bald Bull's charge in the rematch there isn't a camera but there is a bearded man on the left side of the audience. The sign to hit Bull is when he nods his head
Also during Super Macho Man's fight there is a guy with glasses in the audience left to the camera. When his glasses fall is when you have to dodge Macho's single spinning punch
Oh wow, I had no idea that the non-Tyson version was the later one. I assumed they had made an NES version of the arcade game first, and then added Tyson to it. Love the history lessons.
REALLY? That's funny.
Love that Tyson quote you threw in there! Great video. I always struggled more with macho man .. For some reason dodging those super punches was hard. Tyson is only tough the first 130. Thanks for the informative and entertaining video. I always learn something new!
Tyson is not that hard. After the 1st 1 min 30 sec he is easier than Macho Man & Sand Man.
So, the nostalgia for me with this game.... I started boxing at 10yrs old (1987) and my 3 favorite boxers were Julio Caesar Chavez, Mike Tyson, and late Sugar Ray Leonard. I grew up in Florida and there you couldn't compete against others until the age of 13... So I spent about 2 weekends a month in a local gym (Title) practicing. When Mike Tyson's Punch Out came out I was hooked. No pun intended lol. Back then you had to immerse yourself into the story lines of games with a bit of imagination. When I moved to Oklahoma, there we no boxing gyms in the city....back then, it was all about Karate and Tae Kwon Do..... The only fall back I had to "boxing" was this game....and let me tell you, when Mike would fight on TV I would be so pumped up that I would pull the game out and try to beat it....imagining I was moving up to fight him. I honestly only beat him in game one time.....and it took me ALL NIGHT LONG of continues until I finally timed him right.
I really like this channel. Great job. It's great background while I'm working from home. I love the beginner's approach that you take for all of the games. I don't want to add any advanced tips because what you do here is good enough to stand on its own. But if I can clarify a couple things. In the first Flamenco fight, you say that he "may" stay down on the first knockdown. If you use the left, right, left, right technique, he will always get up from the first knockdown. If you didn't mess up the technique, he will get up with less energy and will stay down after the second knockdown. If the player messes up the pattern before the first knockdown, he'll get up with more energy and won't stay down after the second knockdown. In the second Piston Honda fight, he'll always stay down on the first down as long as you hit him as you described. The bearded guy in the audience to the left bobs his head to show the timing. if he goes down, he stays down. If the player's timing is off, Piston Honda won't go down. Player gets a star punch instead. Great work! I'll get through all of these videos eventually.
Didn't know about that Bearded guy with Piston Honda! Really interesting - Thanks for watching!
To this day, I pull this game out and play it. I’ve never beaten it, but I’ve made it to Tyson a couple times.
Great video!
I always felt Mr. Dream looks like John Cena. Sad part is, most people moved onto The Sega Genesis and never knew of Mr. Dream.
He DOES look like John Cena!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Dude, this is a GREAT CHANNEL.
On the second bald bull fight, during the bunny hops, instead of the camera flash, the bearded man in the front row to the left will nod his head to indicate the attack timing
It's hard to describe the joy I felt the first time I saw a video of Mike Tyson trying to beat Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
Dude... just discovered your channel. My nostalgia sensors are on overload! Lol. Good work my friend 👏. Definitely a fan.
This is a game that never gets old.
Your intro theme song with the dog pressing the button kills me every time keep up the good work
Thinking back, i used to be so good at this, i could make it to the second Bald Bull before I took any damage. Those were the days
love your content, supplements replays of games for me, while teaching me some history and tricks!
I played the piss out of this game when I was a kid .... never really had any major problems completing the game .... just took a little practice and I was able to master this game .... honestly the guy I had the most difficulty beating was Super Macho Man.
Still play the digital version all the time on my 3DS. One of the best games ever made. So glad these videos exist.
With Flamenco, I've always used the 1-2 alternating, so R-L-R-L etc. Once you start it, it keeps on going till he falls. Most of the time he stays down.
Tip on Sandman: 50 seconds into the first round, he starts throwing hooks so instead of waiting for him to throw, throw a face punch (doesn’t matter left or right) to force sandman to throw his hooks faster so you can dodge and counter as usual. You can knock him down faster and also possibly get a 1st round TKO on him if you don’t take any hits and Sandman gives you the smaller of 2 refills in phase 3
The day I beat iron mike was one of the greatest.
I know what you mean, it just feels so good!
I’m dying of LOL every time he says “aggressively punch him in the face” lolololololol ❤️
Man, your intro is fantastic, makes me smile every time, please give a big hug to your doggie, doggos are the best : )
You might have mentioned this, but anytime your opponent gets up on the count of "1", a hit by Mac with a star will knock them down no matter how much energy they have.
I was looking for this comment! I made the same comment just now. But I learned a lot from this video, like the Soda Popinski uppercut strategy.
Great work, I really enjoyed it. I like the format of the history first then game play next ...
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I love this game still today. I did beat Tyson back in the day on the NES. It took me 2 weeks but I figured it out. This was 1987 and there wasn't really any magazines to show tips on this as it was still new. I didn't use the "NES Hotline" either. It seems impossible but once you get the pattern down your good to go. Check out some speed runs of Punch Out too.
I love this comment. I love the fact you brought up 1987 & there was no magazines to look up this game & of course no internet. Looking up RUclips walkthroughs help a whole lot. I only beat this game like 5 years ago when I looked up tips & tricks etc. Before that I would only maybe get a decision win on Tyson, never knocked him down & it would be a very rare thing. I would mostly lose to Macho Man all the time before I looked up stuff on youtube. It's an excellent point you make. It was a lot harder back then to beat games.
I maanged to beat this game when i was 11 years old. I have tried it in the past year about 3 times and got stuck on soda popinsky. ...thanks for the lowpunch tip, i will surelly try it next time. Good video😀
Great video! I loved this game! I was so proud when I finally beat it!!
This game is still good. Really fun times playing this
Bald Bull drove me to the brink of NES insanity until I figured it out. I just quit trying to beat him and went experimental on him and found how to get stars and dodge his attacks. Soooo satisfying!
In the second bald bull fight there is a visual cue like in the first fight. Instead of the camera flash on the right side, if you look at the bearded fan on the left his head will nod when you need to throw the punch 27:12
Thanks for making this video, I finally TKO'd Mike last night and it would have taken me a lot longer to learn all of his patterns without you putting so much detail into what you do on this channel!
I still can't believe there are speedrunners who beat this BLINDFOLDED.
So, for the crouching punches thrown by Von Kaiser, you dont have to throw the punches to his opposite side of the punch he is throwing. You do, however, need to do tbat for Great Tiger. Also, for Piston Honda, there is a chance that you get a star instead of knocking him down. Also also, for Don Flamenco, if you do a stutter punch on him when he throws his first punch, that is, punch his face once, then instead of doing a body shot, if you kind of pause before punching him in the face a second time, you will get a star. Throw the star punch and you can beat him in around 15 seconds
The second Bald Bull fight does have a helping signal: the bearded guy standing out from the crowd lowers his head at the right time.
2nd Bald Bull charge....
In 1989, 14 year old me took EIGHT FREAKING HOURS surrounded by cousins to finally time that punch right. No internet hints. No RUclips strategy guide, just sore thumbs, blisters, and sweat!
Man we use to play this game as soon as we woke up and went to bed in the weekends, I think we clocked in 2 weeks, man brings back memories.
Loved this game as well, beat it many times, but is definitely difficult the first time around. Thanx again for the nostalgic memories.
I will check your other videos but a game I loved on the nes was metal gear.
Such a classic game. One thing I will always remember this game for was the Simpsons episode that first aired around the time this game showed up in my home town.
"Put up your dukes, Homer!"
Good run, probably the first game I really mastered. Beat it the first time like 9 years old, consistently beat it by 10, by 12 was doing speed runs that for like 75% of the characters are still competitive with modern numbers. And dude, your subscriber numbers have doubled in the last couple of weeks. Congrats.
Thanks so much! It's incredible how fast the channel has been growing lately. I really appreciate your support
With Bald Bull, look at his boots when he does the bull charge. The third hop you throw left body shot.
As a kid, I actually never bothered with any of the stars and never did TKO Tyson at the end. I was only able to win by decision. As for the responsiveness of the game vs what it is on the NES on a CRT, for me, it's very noticeable and on other games as well. Nintendo's emulation of these games on modern hardware has some input lag from the controllers and modern TVs respond slower than CRTs. It makes playing some of these old games really difficult for me. Some of it can be mitigated by putting the TV in "gaming mode" but the results will very and it still won't fix the input lag.
I also once saw a really good video a long time ago that compared Mike Tyson in the game to Mike Tyson in real life. It was a very interesting way to look at it as in real life, Tyson normally won his matches really quickly, but if you could survive the start of the match and force it to go long you had a much better chance of beating him. Much like the game where for the first minute and a half, you just need to survive and get to round 2 for a change to beat him. Then round 3 you have much more opportunity and can win by decision if you survive all the way through. I don't know how intentional it was for the game to work like that, but if it was it's a neat detail on how far the developers went for it.
So much pay attention to detail. After watching this I took a deep breath and meditate for a bit. I can do this!!!!
a few tricks I've learned in Punch Out.
against Don Flamenco 1 you can get a star punch after Flamenco throws his uppercut, just dodge and throw a delayed punch (wait a second before counterpunching Flamenco) it's tough to time it right but it can help get a faster win on Flamenco.
against Soda Popinski, you can pull a move that freezes Soda while he's crouching for an uppercut. just hold down to block when he goes down to throw an uppercut, this will cause Popinski to stay crouched long enough to throw a quick body blow on Soda for a free star.
against Super Macho Man you can also manipulate his guard like with Piston Honda, this also comes in handy when he delays before throwing one of his spin punches or when he sets up for the multi spin punch after a knockdown
Damn, he got GOD RNG against Soda! Any speedrunner of this would KILL for that.
Second bald Bull fight bull charge tipoff: on the left side of the screen in the audience front row opposite the camera from the first fight, there is a guy with a beard. He will nod his head when you should punch.
You're totally right! Thanks!!
Wow. I've beaten this game several times and I never knew about the quick dodge
Quick tip on Sandman, you can force his uppercut motion by taking head shots. If he ducks, dodge the uppercut, if he blocks, the express is a comin’.
Great video, For bull 2, there's a guy in a beard first row left that bobbs up and down when it's time to strike, so no camera, but still a crowd interaction.
Don't know if anyone had commented this, but in the second Balf Bull fight, there is a bearded gentleman on the left side that nods when you should punch during his bull rush.
So, with the camera on the first fight and the bearded guy in the 2nd fight, do you hit the body punch when the signal goes, or right after the signal? I can never land my body punch.
I believe you do a body shot when the signal happens.
amen to playing this on the original NES, between my older self's reaction time slowing down, and the latency of a wireless controller.. i couldn't get by the darn bull charge!
This is one game where I feel like the tiny amount of lag present in wireless controllers, emulators (even Nintendo endorsed emulation like the NES Classic Mini), modern displays, etc really makes a difference. So many moves in this game require frame perfect precision, and original hardware makes a big difference there.
Hey I couldn’t even get past Great Tiger...
@@Mayonidas05 I bet you could now! Thanks for watching!
Man these videos are so great. I love the presentation. 10/10
OK that Fresh Prince reference takes it straight to the top rofl
