@@WaTTa97 I think it might be a bug they caught and just decided to go along with, it matching his personality of being Drunkenski and getting confused
Sandman is actually pretty easy when you figure out that you can repeatedly goad him into trying to punch you by trying to hit him in the face during his idle animation. He’ll dodge then counterpunch, which you can avoid before wailing on him. I actually find macho man more difficult tbh
Fair,but baiting for me was so hard. He most of the time countered me with quick uppercout,after a jab or hook. I tried to dodge it or block and anything,but for my style its inconsistence or i am just bad(Even if i beat him in my rules) Macho for me was... easy cuz his tells,heavy animations was so easy to understand and i got him in my first try. Maybe you just so clever to figure out a strategy and can keep up consistently
to anyone wondering how fast the indicator for dreamland express is, its 33 milliseconds... the fastest recorded human reaction speed is 120 milliseconds, or 3.6x slower...
As much as people hark on about it, it's not that difficult to do. It's not just the flash. It's a flash and a few frames of an animation. People may not know rhis but MTPO actually designs the Dreamland express ro be very favorable to dodging. If you pay close attention you will notice Sandman can sometimes have an inconsistent number of frames between the punches. This is because the game gives you a few frames of buffer, my guess about 4 or 6. Definitely not more then 8 though. So no, Sandman isn't literally impossible to dodge based on the "indicator". Because the flash is only a piece of the whole indicator
Also that fastest recorded reaction time. Gonna need to add a citation. As those almost always are reactions to evenrs that are not able to be predicted. Such as a sudden object coning towards your face. If you are aware of what is coming, you can often react faster. And lets just, ignore speedrunners, especially of this game, who have a habit of performing multiple frame perfect inputs all at once. Hell, I might as well claim it. As I have, on multiple instances, reacted to the Dreamland expresses "2 Frame" instance. This is ridiculous.
@@linhero797 ok first, this is a youtube comment i don't need to really site shit, look it up lazy second, i've also played the game and reacted to it, but that's because before the punches come out, after the flash, he sometimes waits a moment (sometimes not) third, i know you deleted one of your comments so you ain't too much of a reliable source either
Their is a way to beat sandman, and he is easier than you say. You know when he's about to do a 3 uppercut because he'll stop moving his legs right before he does it. Otherwise he's always moving his legs. You can also Punch his face after his jabs while he's moving his legs to make him dodge, then immediatley dodge and you can land some hits on him. If you can't tell when he's about to do his dreamland express, then find out by punching up. If he blocks then that means get ready.
Something I noticed just some time ago, is that Mr. Sandman's successful punches in the Wii game, have a very distinct sound: Crunching noises. It's certainly not his knuckles cracking. Oh boy, it's something else.
Sandman’s tell isn’t that bad. Top 3: 1. His hands shift position before doing the dreamland express 2. His legs will stop moving. 3. The flash These are the three you should look out for. The flash isn’t even required. Just simply start dodging when the hands shift and you should dodge it easily.
I like the entire delivery of this series. Nostalgia, game designer, quirky script, tight editing, and a real love of the subject matter. I appreciate all the work you've put into these videos. Thank you.
@@amx-103hammahamma2 If you treat most of the letters as Cyrillic - yes. English "s" is made by putting Russian "i" (и) sideways and is treated as "s", but otherwise the OP is correct.
Actually, the flamenco 2 infinite only works the first time you do it. After that it gets him down to low health; then it’s always just 5 punches. Also, if you’re having trouble getting him to do his uppercut, I believe that you have to face jab when his hands are up there during the taunt, and otherwise he just blocks it and taunts again.
fun fact: soda can be easily knocked down twice by waiting 1 and a half seconds then uppercut as he’s about to hook from the right, then wait half a second to do that again, then do what he says in the video because he will almost always uppercut after the the two counters, then do the block thing 3-4 seconds after the 2nd counter, if you do it to early he will hook you again, then after you have 3 star from the 3 counters, then dodge the next uppercut, then counter punch once then star punch him
I’d say the best template to prepare for mike Tyson (or mr dream but who cares about that) is mr sandman He might not one hit kill you in the first round, but being able to perfect sandman might be the best training you can get against kid dynamite
I love the commentary on these videos. He really captures the feels the essence of what it was to fight this lot back in the day. And how rewarding it was to first conquer them
(8:30) When playing games, I highly recommend finding a screen with low lag on. There are ones with low lag out there that you should be looking for; but a lot of screens with too much lag.
I spend an entire Summer break back in the early 90s basically perfecting my gameplan. I was finally able to beat the game without taking a single punch. I'm sure my strategy isn't even comparable to the speedrunners of today, but back then I considered this one of my greatest video game accomplishments. I also set the high score on Galaga at Funland, Dewey Beach, Delaware. I was on such a roll it damn near felt like an out of body experience.
@EnglishMailbox The problem is, that Im playing the version on the switch. Because the Switch runs with different FPS, you literally can't see the flash announcing the dreamland express
@@IlGabibboQuelloVero Thanks for the advice, but it has been 3 years. I would have to start from scratch to get the muscle memories and honestly that I made it to Sandman is achievement enough for me at this point.
Sandman puts his hads together before the dreamland express. But from what I can tell, he will only do it if you're not trying to anticipate it by dodging.
By far, the best Mike Tyson's Punch Out tutorial yet. In this part, been cool if you mentioned World Circuit Bald Bull's bull charge at half range if you didge it. Note worthy, Soda Popinski's name is culturally amiss for the more part. Most of the time, the Polish spell the "ski" with an "i" (Popinski) and the Russians spell their "ski" with a "y" (Popinsky). Also, Soda Popinski and Super Machoman look really funny if you knock them down with an abdominal punch. Sry, last thing. Super Machoman has an intimidation factor. If you really start to mess up with him and you go pink from losing your hearts, he'll crouch down and shake his body left and right really fast, then nail you with a super uppercut. But again, great series.
You actually see both letters (I.e. Popinskiy) a lot, particularly with slavs whose native language uses Cyrillic. That being said, just the i isn't entirely amiss, especially considering he could theoretically have come from anywhere in the Soviet Union and picked it up from a neighbouring country! Displacement was common at the time, after all.
Yes Overall Mr Sandman is harder than SMM in most cases, yet that one fast spin punch macho man does sometimes is (in my opinion) on par with the dreamland express, or at least it was until I found out that there's a dude that shakes his head just before macho does this attack, thanks to that I'll manage to avoid it easily
Actually how I deal with the spin punch is just tapping up immediately gut-punching him like you could with Piston Honda. Super Macho Man takes some damage and you can get stars. But stars have to be used when he's stunned from rapid punches or else he'll dodge it.
so I've re-watched this video a few times now and I'm FINALLY able to see the tell just barely. its really just training your brain to fully processes the two frames.
I'm gonna be honest, the rewind feature from NES Online on Switch may be cheesy as heck, but it really makes Mr. Sandman, and by extent, almost everyone else in the world circuit easier.
5:12 soda only goes down instantly via the ducking-confusion stars. If you get a star via punching him while he’s winding up for a hook, he won’t go down instantly
As someone said, the que you showed of Sandman is the one if you have been dodging a lot when he is just standing there, once he starts standing keep your cool, and he will do a quick hand shuffle before the que starts giving you like maybe a quarter of a second extra
Actually, Sandman's Dreamland Express "tell" is much longer if you don't dodge so often when he is just standing there. You'll be able to see him alter his pose if you keep still while waiting for the Dreamland Express to come and have enough time to react and dodge.
I really have to wonder if the Soda Popinski Uppercut Block was intended or not, but in either way you explained a possible reasoning beautifully as well as hilariously.
“We’ll come to hell” Me: plays it on switch online Me: gets hit Also Me: holds ZR and ZL goes back and fixes attack movement “I don’t see how this is hard”
I think that the reason Super Macho Man (easily an easier fight than Mr. Sandman) Is the world Champ, is because you have the mindset of, "Oh god, if SANDMAN was that bad, how bad will THIS guy be?" So to find out he isn't AS bad relives you, and you go into the Mike Tyson fight with confidence, they need you to have that confidence in your own skills jst for Mike Tyson to seem so godlike when he sends you to the mat for the 10 count for quickly.
i absolutely had no fucking idea Popinski had such a weakness. wow lmao. i knew about the delayed uppercut, but had no idea you could counter that and get a star to one shot him.
Funny thing is that when I used the cheat code to get to mr dream, I was only able to get one punch on him. And I celebrated like a champ: yelling as loud as I could in victory
actually ive noticed that if you pay attention to mr sandman he does have a few frames where he doesnt even move before the dreamland express so there technically are more frames before he does it
Sandman's 2 frame tell only happens if you dodge a lot as he's about to do it. The key is to not be afraid, aiming to catch the visual cue instead of trying to get a feel for when he's about to do it and blindly dodge. It's still brutally difficult, but manageable
8:04 no you have basically literally a second to react cuz if he stops moving then ya gotta GET OUTTA THERE and there’s a 90 out of a 10% chance that you’ll dodge all of them cuz YA GONNA GET HIT (idk how I caught that flash also lol ) Edit : but don’t worry if your playing on switch Nintendo entertainment system then you just gotta rewind so you get a second chance or 100 chances 🙂👌
I’d say the Infinity Blade series is a very similar style game given how each battle is pretty much a boss and at the end is a “title bout” each needing great timing and in the first game you need a perfectly positioned parry when you want to get a stun, there are many classes of enemies some are out fighters in fighters and giant sluggers, I wish it could still be bought and played some where other than apple tablets
another fun fact : sand man's triple uppercut technique actually has ANOTHER warning, once he moves his legs quickly. it means that you have to prepare yourself to dodge E V E R Y S I N G L E O N E, (I said it in caps cause I Can) and I am seriously not afraid or nervous to fight super macho man

6:39 - Aww =) It's all good.
WORLD CIRCUIT FIGHTS:
Piston Honda 2 - Surprise, I'm talking about the rematches, too! Piston Honda 2 is probably the least interesting of these in retrospect, but it's sorta neat to see an early game fight fairly easily adapted into a late-mid game one (weird breaking up the structure of a game with such a bloated third act). He probably ends up being the hardest of the Rematches, since you more or less HAD to learn Bald Bull's gimmick to beat him the first time, and Don Flamenco's a special case. Makes for a fairly decent pace setter.
Soda Popinski - It impresses me how naturally real world boxing principles were translated into the NES game. Case in point: the player is immediately confronted with a psychological barrier coming up against Sody Popinski because his animations are coming from the other direction than they've been dealing with, owing to his being a lefty (distinctly A Thing© in boxing, as the video covers). I mean, sure, our sloshed Soviet slugger is plenty tough and all, too, what with his in-your-face uppercuts and his rumbling jabs. But I think it's that mental hurdle that makes him most compelling, as well as a nice starting point for the World Circuit as mental chess (like good boxing should be!)
Also - probably the funniest hit animation? Something about his beady little eyes flickering makes me think of a slot machine every time I deck his face.
Also also - "Soda Popinski" is way funnier than "Vodka Drunkenski"
Bald Bull 2 - Bald Bull continues to be the biggest Bluto in the game by taking the main leaf out of Bluto's book, and being a blatant freaking cheater. You thought you had him for sure with that stunlock? Nope, he'll just blatantly recover in your face, tough bananas. It's PlayStation All-Stars Fight Thing rules here, you either take him down with Super Moves or you go home. By consequence, he ends up being substantially easier than most of the other fights here, but he'll still keep you on your toes.
FLAMENCO STRIKES BACK! RETURN OF DON! - Surprisingly, one of my favorite fights in the game! Working your way up the ranks, he is of course absurdly easy, even moreso than any other fight in World Circuit. Sure, he takes forever to beat, but he's not too bad. Heck, I beat him on my first run, something I hadn't done since... King Hippo? Maybe even the first Don Flamenco fight?
However! If you job to Mr. Sandman or Super Macho Man, then you gotta go back and deal with Don Flamenco's crap again. And lemme tell you, suddenly the pisstake that is Don Flamenco becomes a royal pain when your brain is tuned to the speed of the Dreamland Express or Super Spin Punch. It makes for great pacing in both directions - RETURN OF DON is a breather after Soda Popinski and Bald Bull 2, but just a cruel component of the death spiral after Mr. Sandman and Super Macho Man. Absolutely fascinating to see.
Mr. Sandman - I like that among all these crazy caricature characters, Punch-Out consistently has a guy whose gimmick is "normal boxer" (that and going on about DRRREEEAMLAAAAND). Makes him one of the scarier guys to go up against, even when he's not the final boss or nothin'. In addition to everything covered in the vid, I also kinda appreciate that you can ONLY get Stars against him in Round 3, that your means of getting Stars is extremely obtuse (you're mostly going off gut punches, which requires bating him into blocking his face then throwing a body blow in a frame-or-two window), and that the jerk can STILL dodge outta stunlock if you throw too many Star Uppercuts. You wanna fight him, you gotta forget about all them fancy tricks you've been leaning on and act like a damn boxer already.
Super Macho Man - I'd be less disturbed by the pec wiggle if it didn't sync up perfectly to the music. Stop taunting me to the beat, man. Super Macho Man is a good deal easier than Mr. Sandman, but he still requires a lot of precise timing, particularly on that Super Spin Punch - and lemme tell you, there's nothing as disheartening as seeing a full health meter drain to nothing after you dodged 6 but not the 7th spin around. Whadda jerk.

If you really start to mess up with him and you go pink from losing your hearts, he'll crouch down and shake his body left and right really fast, then nail you with a super uppercut. But again, great series.
You actually see both letters (I.e. Popinskiy) a lot, particularly with slavs whose native language uses Cyrillic. That being said, just the i isn't entirely amiss, especially considering he could theoretically have come from anywhere in the Soviet Union and picked it up from a neighbouring country! Displacement was common at the time, after all.
@@ApolloK I hear ya Bro. Good point.
Yes Overall Mr Sandman is harder than SMM in most cases, yet that one fast spin punch macho man does sometimes is (in my opinion) on par with the dreamland express, or at least it was until I found out that there's a dude that shakes his head just before macho does this attack, thanks to that I'll manage to avoid it easily
Actually how I deal with the spin punch is just tapping up immediately gut-punching him like you could with Piston Honda. Super Macho Man takes some damage and you can get stars. But stars have to be used when he's stunned from rapid punches or else he'll dodge it.
“Only one more fight between you and your greatest prize” *ad for lawn mower plays*
sandman's name doesn't mean he will take you to the land of discount mike Tyson, it means he will turn you into sand, he did it to a building
"The world circuit is all about execution" Yeah, that thing Sandman does when I get in the ring with him.
I find it hilarious that the worst part of fighting Macho Man, the champion, is needing to fight Sandman, the one below him, again if you lose.
If you lose to Super Macho Man, you have to fight Don Flamenco, then Mr. Sandman before you get another chance at Super Macho Man.
5:42 current objective, survive
Welcome to hell
@@themudkipmando4125 accurate
Mr Sandman telling Mac a bedtime story got me
My man from Philly! The first fight that's just downright difficult.
so I've re-watched this video a few times now and I'm FINALLY able to see the tell just barely. its really just training your brain to fully processes the two frames.
Designing For is a channel worth adding to my AdBlock whitelist. Keep up the good work man.
Tike Myson incoming.
It started with jlass goe then kon Kaiser then histon ponda now the last to are muper sacho man and tike myson
Just A person on youtube you can’t forget bald bull.... oh wait
What about Hing Kippo?
@@Shadowlobandi I brought up the first tree then the last two not all
@@manpera13 Hey! You missed Fon dlamanco too!
I'm gonna be honest, the rewind feature from NES Online on Switch may be cheesy as heck, but it really makes Mr. Sandman, and by extent, almost everyone else in the world circuit easier.
5:12 soda only goes down instantly via the ducking-confusion stars. If you get a star via punching him while he’s winding up for a hook, he won’t go down instantly
As someone said, the que you showed of Sandman is the one if you have been dodging a lot when he is just standing there, once he starts standing keep your cool, and he will do a quick hand shuffle before the que starts giving you like maybe a quarter of a second extra
Actually, Sandman's Dreamland Express "tell" is much longer if you don't dodge so often when he is just standing there. You'll be able to see him alter his pose if you keep still while waiting for the Dreamland Express to come and have enough time to react and dodge.
I didn't think I needed fan art of Sandman at Mac's bedside tucking him in (and decking the fuck out of him), but here I am.
Great, now the amount of nightmares I have about Mr Sandman are doubled
I always come back and watch this series every few months.
7:39 that’s a derpy bald bull
7:38
It seems like before the dreamland express, sandman's legs go mental
This is the gift that keeps on giving. Keep up the good work, have a nice day and don't falter.
Underrated channel and series. Liked and subbed
finishing the series up to this point takes about as long as it would for me to beat the game and eat dinner
Thank God that nowadays you can save between matches because I wouldn’t have reached Mike Tyson if I had to repeat Mr Sandman fight every time I lost.
I really have to wonder if the Soda Popinski Uppercut Block was intended or not, but in either way you explained a possible reasoning beautifully as well as hilariously.
4:37 I thought that was Soda Popinski, not Chris Jericho
A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY
He made a Y2J reference in the Major Circuit episode too. When you drain King Hippo's health, he will never...
*EEEEEEEVVVVVVEEEEERRRR*
get back up.
Got me good @7:15 🤣🤣🤣
I've enjoyed these 3 videos. Explains things I never knew about the game.
Really well made video, you made this super entertaining. Subscribed.
What an awesome vídeo, without a doubt am gonna watch the first two ASAP
Sandman on wii is to easy even in title defense but on nes this man is truly the world circuit champion
“We’ll come to hell”
Me: plays it on switch online
Me: gets hit
Also Me: holds ZR and ZL goes back and fixes attack movement “I don’t see how this is hard”
Also I’m on super macho man on mike Tysons punch out
That’s what I did
I think that the reason Super Macho Man (easily an easier fight than Mr. Sandman) Is the world Champ, is because you have the mindset of, "Oh god, if SANDMAN was that bad, how bad will THIS guy be?" So to find out he isn't AS bad relives you, and you go into the Mike Tyson fight with confidence, they need you to have that confidence in your own skills jst for Mike Tyson to seem so godlike when he sends you to the mat for the 10 count for quickly.
I love someone - game devs or essay writer - who can tell a good story.
Dude. This video is perfection!
i absolutely had no fucking idea Popinski had such a weakness.
wow lmao.
i knew about the delayed uppercut, but had no idea you could counter that and get a star to one shot him.
9:29 super macho man
Release the Bogus!
4:58
The reference to Wreck It Ralph actually made me laugh because I forgot Zangeif said that.
Maybe bad guy isn't really bad guy
1:18
Wait a second.....Is that?!
DEMPSEY ROLL!!!!!!
There is also the Don Flamenco that doesn’t want to die.
As someone who’s beat punch out 20+ times Sandman has always given me the most problems
Funny thing is that when I used the cheat code to get to mr dream, I was only able to get one punch on him. And I celebrated like a champ: yelling as loud as I could in victory
Fun fact: the scoreboard is a physical thing because some boxers go over it
actually ive noticed that if you pay attention to mr sandman he does have a few frames where he doesnt even move before the dreamland express so there technically are more frames before he does it
I like the transition from macho man’s theme back to sandman’s 10:53 😊
7:58 Sandman also gives a tell by not moving for a bit before releasing the Dreamland Express
Surprisingly I'm really good at dodging the express
Sandman's 2 frame tell only happens if you dodge a lot as he's about to do it. The key is to not be afraid, aiming to catch the visual cue instead of trying to get a feel for when he's about to do it and blindly dodge. It's still brutally difficult, but manageable
8:04 no you have basically literally a second to react cuz if he stops moving then ya gotta GET OUTTA THERE and there’s a 90 out of a 10% chance that you’ll dodge all of them cuz YA GONNA GET HIT (idk how I caught that flash also lol )
Edit : but don’t worry if your playing on switch Nintendo entertainment system then you just gotta rewind so you get a second chance or 100 chances 🙂👌
I’d say the Infinity Blade series is a very similar style game given how each battle is pretty much a boss and at the end is a “title bout” each needing great timing and in the first game you need a perfectly positioned parry when you want to get a stun, there are many classes of enemies some are out fighters in fighters and giant sluggers, I wish it could still be bought and played some where other than apple tablets
I’d love to see a Designing For for punch out Wii because that game is really great
5:42 “Welcome to hell” made me die and it took me tries to beat Mr Sandman and yea fighting him is hell
Imagine if someone actually tried to do the dreamland express or even super macho man’s spin punch
Honestly shocked that there wasn't a cream of the crop joke for Macho Man.
Me playing the World Curcuit in Punch Out NES be like oh boy here comes soda popinski aaa
Watching this series made me realise just how good a remake that Punch Out Wii was.
6:45 that’s a tongue twister
another fun fact : sand man's triple uppercut technique actually has ANOTHER warning, once he moves his legs quickly. it means that you have to prepare yourself to dodge E V E R Y S I N G L E O N E, (I said it in caps cause I Can)
and I am seriously not afraid or nervous to fight super macho man
Been loving these videos so far!
me 3
I personally find super macho man harder then sandman for many reasons in this game.
