I played Super Punch Out through before making it this far in Punch Out. I thought you were supposed to duck Super Macho Man's super punch like in the Super Nintendo version.

I got KOd so many times until I found out that you had to dodge instead.

You're on the younger side then, aren't you?

Got the Punch Out cartridge like five feet away from me.

Still never beat it, I'll admit.

I started playing this recently. Stuck on the World Circuit Bald Bull fight. Still haven't figured out the timing for the bull charge, about 50% success rate countering it.

>>908342

I think it's less about the timing and more about which side he charges from. Haven't played in a while but I remember that you need to punch with the opposite arm to the side he begins the charge from. I think.

Punch-Out is one of those games that are truly timeless. I played it for the first time in 2010 and it just sucked precious months from my life as well as my younger cousin's life.

>>908243
Who could you never beat?

>>908342
I tend to use Mac's right hand to punch him. Do it right about when the third 'jump' of the charge begins.

Only just beat this recently, I was surprised when they let me have the Mike Tyson fight by decision, although I was really close to TKO.

The worst part was at the beginning of a new round when he threw punches that legit seem to have no warning.

>>909349
Yeah, the first time I beat Mike, it was by decision too. What's especially weird is that some fighters like Bald Bull and Mr. Sandman can't lose by decision.

I always had trouble against Great Tiger. My 8-year-old hand to eye coordination could never get the blocking down.

>What's especially weird is that some fighters like Bald Bull and Mr. Sandman can't lose by decision.

None of the circuit champs(Tyson/Dream aside) can lose by decision, no matter how well you do.

I was born in 1985, but I wasn't allowed to get a video game system until 1994. My father hated video games and didn't relent until my ninth birthday. By that point, the NES was no longer being sold in stores.

When I was 7, my cousin rented the original Punch Out and I watched him make it all the way to the first fight with Bald Bull. I didn't play the game myself until I was 12 though. He offered to let me play, but I didn't want to embarrass myself by getting knocked out by Glass Joe or Von Kaiser when he had made it as far as Bald Bull. Instead, I played Jackal; the tank game.

I didn't actually come to own an NES until I was 14 and didn't get Punch Out until I was 15. By that point, I'd already beaten Super Punch Out (played to completion when I was 12). It made the Super Macho Man fight unnecessarily hard though because, again, I was expecting that ducking would be the only way to avoid the super punch and that I just wasn't timing it correctly.

I probably lost to him more than a dozen times before I finally won. Despite beating Super Macho Man when I was 15, I didn't beat Tyson or Mr. Dream until years later.

I actually beat Mike Tyson and Mr. Dream using that code to skip directly to the Dream Fight, but then I reset the game because I felt like that was cheating. Beating the game meant playing from start to finish.

And that was a feat which I only just now accomplished this year. Finally seeing the ending was a bit underwhelming. I felt like it was something I should have seen a decade ago.

>>910342
dear lord... we didn't need your life story of punch out... you were responding to a "dur hur ur yung" troll anyhow

Ha yea he would always get me to antsy...

>>910369

Well, when else would I get a chance to share my history of Punch Out? I have a lot of memories tied to it.

I am so confused right now.

>>912027
not the kid you were replying to, but i enjoy reading people's stories related to gaming in the day. that's what this board is for!

>>910369

I found the story very interesting. We are here to share our memories too, so don't think you can speak for all of us

>>910369
I'm pretty sure you're the only guy that didn't enjoy it.

OH GOD IT'S BLINKING HERE IT GOES
NGHHH
NGHHH
NGHHH


The first time i beat Great Tiger I ran around the living room like I had done it in real life

I never beat him.

I think part of it may be me not owning the actual cart and only playing on an emulator; I've been told that it fucks up timing to the point that Tyson is flat-out impossible, so I would imagine the opponents before him would be similar.

>>913973
That is true.. i have the Original and Roms don't have shit on the OG...

>>914393
does the japanese say something bad or something?

>>914435
Can't use Honda, because cars.

>>914435
>日本一
Best in Japan

>>914447
Honda is a very common Japanese name

>>914393
>>914502
Is he related to E. Honda?

>>914509
Probably not, but he must be Piston Hurrican's 3rd degree cousin or something.

>>908342
I played again today and made it past Bald Bull to Don Flamenco (world circuit). I lost and didn't have any rematches left, but he feels slower than Bald Bull so I'll probably beat him soon.

>>914719
Trick to Flamenco's rematch is to leave a tiny bit of energy on his meter at the end of round 1 and then get a head start to TKO'ing him in R2. Word of caution, next up is Mr. Sandman, who besides Tyson is the hardest opponent in the game.
