"I accidentally did a frame-perfect counter." "Oh man, this is actually real." This was amazing. Probably the most impressive thing I've seen from AGDQ yet.
@@marioman821 Is this the same guy who did the Super Puncout blindfolded and beat the special circuit for only the second time in his life at a marathon?
When a room full of speed runners and blindfold gamers start treating this guy like an actual boxing champ, that's how you know he's special. The ice water that must be in this guy's veins... My hands get shakey trying not to spill while pouring coffee
I love how everyone in the back was invested in those fights. It was like watching a real boxing fight crowd. I was disappointed a donation total wasn't given for this run because he deserved high amounts for this one.
The amount of donations during each run are determined long after the marathon ends due to donations processing after the run is over, etc. I think you can maybe find something on the SDA forums.
Holy mother of God. I can only imagine the hours put in to memorize all the patterns, now all the sounds and right buttons to press and when to do it. Even when things were a bit rough, he kept his cool. 100/10 would watch again
I remember watching this live and it was literally an experience I'll never forget. This dude played it so well, freakin' BLINDFOLDED... Just wow. During his run, my palm started sweating, shaking my leg constantly and I don't remember blinking at all. When he completed it, I almost cried at the end during his speech, it was so touching. To the next AGDQ, I'll take some days as holdaiys from my work to watch every run.
I had a front row seat for this (just off camera to the left) and was half of the "raise zallard's arms in victory" crew at the end. It was an honor and a privilege to be there for it. Ranks among my personal best and favorite GDQ moments. Amazing stuff.
It seems a bit obvious to say since events like this would be where they all congregate, but after watching these marathons for a few years, I love being able to look through the audience and point out the faces of several other runners and speedrun community members as well. It gives the marathons an atmosphere that feels like much more than just "a crowd", but rather the community that they're all proud to say they're members of.
I've watched this several times, and I still can't believe this is real. This is the most amazing video game feat I have ever seen. Yes, man, this is real.
Zallard came out strong. There were many rough patches, but somewhere in the Rick Bruiser, he achieved perfect Punch-Out Zen. "Hey, uh, I accidentally got a frame perfect counter..."
I saw this live and this was my personal highlight of AGDQ. When that last punch hit, I stood up and sent my laptop flying. Also check out CGN's run of F-zero GX. My jaw was on the ground for most of that too.
I've probably watched this run 10 times at this point. You can just see all this hard work and training paying off. The humility of saying for the last 20 minutes of the run that "this next fight might kill the run". And just the swell of emotion on Zallard's face and in his voice as it becomes more and more clear that _this is actually happening._ I get choked up every time at the celebration at the end. It's a terrific, emotional run.
The change from knowing the times down to milliseconds to "this is actually real" is chilling, in the best way possible. I always forget I've seen this before, and I always return to it with a smile when I remember
People calling this game easy and saying they could do this. No. No, you can't. This game isn't as hard as the original MTPO, but characters like Hoy Quarlow will make normal gamers want to rip their hair out. And blindfolded? I can't even take a piss blindfolded. So damn impressive.
I know this comment is 4 years old but i actually find this game to be harder than the original. Maybe its because ive put 80 hours into that game. Not very much though and my super punch out time is far worse.
Sinister1 reaches the special boss Mike Tyson after conquering the world circuit... Blindfolded. (Punch Out!!) Zallard1 beats Nick Bruiser the final boss of Super Punch Out and with no damage taken. Damn.
Laughing at people in comments calling this run easy. Sure, it may be a bit easier than MTPO, but SERIOUSLY, THIS GAME IS FUCKING HARD WITH YOUR EYES OPEN. Zallard is a fucking god for beating it blindfolded, and if its so easy why doesn't someone else do it? I rest my case.
People, you mean one person. MTPO is indeed a bit harder, but not by as much as the person that was being trolley said. Speed running any game blind folded and completing it is a feat in itself. I do not know off any game that is still easy if you are playing it with a blindfold.
This game is a breeze with your eyes open. I tried it blindfolded just for fun once, with no practice at all I made it to Bald Bull, which I know big deal. But non blindfolded I can beat the whole game without hardly even taking a hit. Then again I've been playing it for like 20 years. Lol
***** Why is it there! haha See if they have a storage unit with any copies of Hagane for Snes! rare one right there and distribute them amongst the populace for a fair price so this game can be played.
This is ridiculous! I couldn't believe what I was watching! Probably the most impressive run I've ever seen. I was sitting there screaming like a little kid because I know how hard that game is with your eyes open and this guy did it blindfolded. RIDICULOUS!!!
Wow, worth watching multiple times as the second time through it is fantastic to just watch the expressions from the audience as zallard1 goes through the game. Unbelievable really.
man this are the type of runs I like to watch now, so many games are played fast that just doesn't seem that amazing anymore. We need more blindfolded runs or handicapped runs or something other than running the game fast.
There are challenge categories of speedruns, but I suspect that's not quite what you're talking about, is it? Maybe look into the Tetris Grandmaster vids? Those to me had a pretty different air to them than standard speedruns.
No shit, that's one of the coolest things I have ever seen done. I kept expecting you to get beat later in the game, I am amazed at what I just witnessed. Hats off dude.
This is so incredible! Super Punch Out is one of my all time favorite games. Every time he gets hit I think "no no no dodge it!" and then I catch myself.... HE'S BLINDFOLDED! I love it!

"Hey, I accidentaly did a frame perfect counter" LMAO
When was that?
TheFirestrike06 29:23
TheFirestrike06 starts at 29:14
Thats zallard 1 luck 7 years ago
“That should be like a 7”49 I think.”
*Hysteria ensues*
“I’m guessing I’m right”
Hilarious
He knows down to the hundreths of a second
6:08
What’s hysteria
He called 3 of the Minor Circuit times, that's impressive and a half
@@jenniferjimenez3235 well there's only a few possible times so it wouldn't be hard to guess for someone like him
Shout out to the punch out refs who let a 180 lbs fighter fight guys up to 440 lbs and allow kicks and props in a boxing match lol.
And bring a cane
Or spitting in eyes, juggling balls, elbows, whipping hair or grabbing lol
***** he wasn't as big a cheater in this one but he still grabbed you so it's not legal lol
It's not mma though and they refer to it is the Irish squeeze which is why you lose health it's still technically illegal
Since he was blindfolded it means they let a BLIND 180 lbs fighter in.
"I accidentally did a frame-perfect counter."
"Oh man, this is actually real."
This was amazing. Probably the most impressive thing I've seen from AGDQ yet.
Zallard1 at SGDQ 2019: Hold my beer
@@marioman821 What am I missing from SGDQ 2019? It's been a bit so I might've forgotten.
@@AshlynOne He did a pretty much perfect run of Punch Out Wii without losing a single match blindfolded (Complete with the motion control menus)
@@marioman821 Is this the same guy who did the Super Puncout blindfolded and beat the special circuit for only the second time in his life at a marathon?
@@AshlynOne It's the same guy as in this run.
And that was the day when Zallard1 became a living god amongst speedrunners.
True that
Among us
Nah, he was a God since he pursued Matt Turk's records.
"I accidentally did a frame perfect counter"
Best line ever
"...and now I have to adjust for it"
to this day, i still think this guy makes up for the best runs ever on gdq events
for anyone coming from the new summoning salt video, 29:40 is where the green nick bruiser shows up (and then right away thereafter again)
I love how the guy on the couch is instantly confused
@@nomercyformayhem2506 i didn't even notice that (until i saw your comment, of course)
hahaha thanks
"Oh man. This is actually real"
I don't know why but hearing that for the first time gave me goosebumps.
He sounded legitimately shook, but kept on winning like a boss.
30:06
When a room full of speed runners and blindfold gamers start treating this guy like an actual boxing champ, that's how you know he's special. The ice water that must be in this guy's veins... My hands get shakey trying not to spill while pouring coffee
You know you have played the game too many times when you know EXACTLY how much time you take to beat each fighter
It is weird that 2 and a half years later I still feel like cheering when he beat it?
BrokenWings8613 Nope. I'm with you on that bro.
Mozart played the piano effortlessly blindfolded, so I suppose this guy is the Mozart of Super Punch-Out haha
No matter how many times I watch this, my heart always freezes near the end. The tension is so real.
I clapped with the rest of them when it was over lol
5 and a half for me now!
"I accidentally did a frame-perfect counter."
I lost it there.
It's bad enough getting destroyed online in a game you feel you dominate in. This guy just destroys my records on a single player game blind folded.
No matter what you do, there’s always going to someone in the world that’s better than you at it
I love how everyone in the back was invested in those fights. It was like watching a real boxing fight crowd. I was disappointed a donation total wasn't given for this run because he deserved high amounts for this one.

I have no words for this. He beat the whole fucking game. Blindfolded. I am honored to have been able to watch this live.
Its incredible what some people can do with memorization and practice
ok, after seeing this i STILL wanna see a speed run of Punchout Wii and a blindfolded version. these were epic
Your wish has been granted a few hours ago, and it was amazing
You have your wish
Yo guess what?
They did it!
Good news, bucko
i love the audiance clearly want to see him succeed.
Did I just watch a guy beat Super Punch Out BLINDFOLDED?? Holy crap!
You need to see sinister1 beat Punch out on the NES blindfolded
***** Ummm Thats Who He Was Talking About
ASHTREFISHER
No, different game, different person, different system, different everything
***** Oh Yea Lol I Had To Read His Comment Again Sorry About That Bro
***** sinister1 didnt beat nes punch out in his run
Holy mother of God.
I can only imagine the hours put in to memorize all the patterns, now all the sounds and right buttons to press and when to do it. Even when things were a bit rough, he kept his cool.
100/10 would watch again
I respect this man so much, I named my Lil Mac amiibo after him. Such an amazing run.
Saltbert ditto. Japanese import. Super punch out skin
29:38 Bruiser turns green. Dude on the left is the only one who noticed it and thought he had gone crazy
I remember watching this live and it was literally an experience I'll never forget. This dude played it so well, freakin' BLINDFOLDED... Just wow. During his run, my palm started sweating, shaking my leg constantly and I don't remember blinking at all. When he completed it, I almost cried at the end during his speech, it was so touching.
To the next AGDQ, I'll take some days as holdaiys from my work to watch every run.
I was just going to type in 100 exclamation marks but it would be counted by RUclips as spam.
then type 99
This run, Sinister1's blindfolded run and the Super Metroid race make this the best GDQ so far.
This is the absolute coolest. I don't if the GDQ crew has ever been this loud during a run. So much excitement.
Actually, they have in the mike tyson blindfolded run.
I'll check that out!
I had a front row seat for this (just off camera to the left) and was half of the "raise zallard's arms in victory" crew at the end. It was an honor and a privilege to be there for it. Ranks among my personal best and favorite GDQ moments. Amazing stuff.

I love this game. I discovered this game on emulators, mid 2000's and I was hooked! This blindfolded speed run was awesome!
I started playing this game in the mid 2010s, also on emulators, and have completed it dozens of times.
This was possibly the most amazing run of the marathon.
This guy........wow. I wanna buy this guy a beer. Like now
"I accidentally did a frame perfect counter..."

I love how Sinister1, a fellow punch-out speed runner sits behind Zallard1, smiling with appreciation!
People calling this game easy and saying they could do this. No. No, you can't. This game isn't as hard as the original MTPO, but characters like Hoy Quarlow will make normal gamers want to rip their hair out. And blindfolded? I can't even take a piss blindfolded. So damn impressive.

@@antoinemayrand7348 I dunno. What does it mean? Or is this just some stupid Gen Z shit? The experts at being offended by everything?
Came back from the Punch Out Wii speedrun, truly a God at this series
"I accidentally hit a frame-perfect counter." Suuure it was a mistake you beast.
no other speed run can ever beat this, this is the best run in the universe period
Zallard1 SGDQ2019 has happened.
Achkually
Sinister1 reaches the special boss Mike Tyson after conquering the world circuit... Blindfolded. (Punch Out!!)
Zallard1 beats Nick Bruiser the final boss of Super Punch Out and with no damage taken. Damn.
And blindfolded as well
Him guessing the time it takes to beat someone in the minor circuit is still one of the best things about the entire run.
"That should be a 7.49"
Zallard played SPO for so long that he knew
Laughing at people in comments calling this run easy. Sure, it may be a bit easier than MTPO, but SERIOUSLY, THIS GAME IS FUCKING HARD WITH YOUR EYES OPEN. Zallard is a fucking god for beating it blindfolded, and if its so easy why doesn't someone else do it? I rest my case.

oh my god this guy....what a total lord! getting the times nailed on too
Zallord1
Top lad. Absolute unit
it's fun watching the guy on the couch's reaction, especially when he stuffs hoy quarlow
Unbelievable. There are some runs that stood out for me at ADGQ this year. This one and the Super Metroid race are definitely two of them.
I could never beat Nick Bruiser as a kid. If my super nintendo worked, I would be back on that game right now!
zeokenX lol blockbuster went out of business, or at least the one i used to go to
***** Why is it there! haha See if they have a storage unit with any copies of Hagane for Snes! rare one right there and distribute them amongst the populace for a fair price so this game can be played.
is it sad i had more trouble with hoy quarlow as a kid then nick bruiser LOL, but eventually i was able to just fly through the game
*Ahem* Dick Bruiser. *ahem*.
29:23 Best line in speed running history?
Lupo Reed YAS
What a beast. Punch-out's encounter format works pretty well for live audiences.
Probably the best speed run I've ever seen. Pure talent.
Almost five years later, and this remains my #1 moment in live speed-running history.
AMAZING holy crap. And he manages to predict the time used to win those matches too? Crazy shit!
Even watching this today is amazing.
06:06 - 08:10 - 09:10 - 17:15 - 29:15
Zallard1 you deserves a medal.
Every now and then, whenever I'm feeling down in the dumps, I watch this video to remind me of one thing.
Anything's possible.
I can't even do that WITHOUT a blindfold... lol.
This is seriously my favorite video on RUclips. That finale is inspirational.
Here,
A legend began...
He’s come so far since this run yet this is one of the best GDQ runs
He really blew his own mind on this one :) ...and what a great year for blindfolded punch-out. Top performance runs by both Zallard1 and Sinister1!
Wow... I was on the edge of my seat the entire run! Amazing performance!
20:18
"shh. Quiet."
Zallard, I love you
This is ridiculous! I couldn't believe what I was watching! Probably the most impressive run I've ever seen. I was sitting there screaming like a little kid because I know how hard that game is with your eyes open and this guy did it blindfolded. RIDICULOUS!!!
you sir are a god amongst ants
nocturnasinterfector I know your profile pic it's from my favorite game series soulcalibur :)
I can never quite believe that the speedruns on here are done without save states and video stitching. It's nice to see it happening live.
This guy deserves an award or something. That was fucking intense and legendary.
I'm very glad I stayed up to watch this amazing run, it's truly one of Legend.
Wow, worth watching multiple times as the second time through it is fantastic to just watch the expressions from the audience as zallard1 goes through the game. Unbelievable really.
This run still remains one of the greatest, if not the greatest, run ever on GDQ
This run was amazing, Zallard kicked ass!
I've watched lots of these speed runs and this one has the hypest crowd by far. Kudos, Zallard.
That was fucking incredible.
One of the most impressive gaming feats ever accomplished.
The dude just fucking DESTROYED Sandman in his final form... in 15 seconds... countering every punch perfectly... BLINDFOLDED. This dude is a G.
man this are the type of runs I like to watch now, so many games are played fast that just doesn't seem that amazing anymore. We need more blindfolded runs or handicapped runs or something other than running the game fast.

I actually got my profile picture (previous one) from this game
o rly
Lol not anymore
Dont remember that fighter in punch out (joke)
PERFECT ON THE LAST ONE BLINDFOLDED
This was the most amazing moment of AGDQ, hands down. It's sad that I have twice as hard of time beating the game with my eyes open.
Great hyped audience this is pretty epic actually by any standards
Greatest run in AGDQ/SGDQ history. Not close.
One of the best runs of any GDQ ever.
Of all the runs , this should have over a million.
The six people who thumbed this down should be ashamed of themselves. This is one of the greatest gaming achievements ever captured on film.
good god....you all deserve much more love and donations
My favourite run now that was amazing
No shit, that's one of the coolest things I have ever seen done. I kept expecting you to get beat later in the game, I am amazed at what I just witnessed. Hats off dude.
Extremely impressive. Dramatic and a great moment.
So much love in that room. It's beautiful.
God I still love this run of a God
wow just wow. that was amazing
This is so incredible! Super Punch Out is one of my all time favorite games. Every time he gets hit I think "no no no dodge it!" and then I catch myself.... HE'S BLINDFOLDED! I love it!
I wanna see someone do a blindfolded Uniracers run.
Amazing run to watch. Gratz to ZALLARD1 for doing it. Just amazing!
How many times does he have to say, "This next fight is one of the hardest."? I thought they were all difficult blind folded. bahaha Great video!
