I’ve always found it interesting that Bald Bull gets that little bit of extra introduction: “…in the red corner…” Seems like even then he held a special place with the dev team.
its cuz he was the first punch out character ever designed!! probably also why hes in every punch out game AND arm wrestling, since they were made by the same team
It's easy to tell he's clearly the Dev's favorite character! He's tied with Mr. Sandman and Super Macho Man for being in the most games, 4. However, he had not one but *two* fights in Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, but he was also the only character in the series in a spinoff game called Arm Wrestling, under the disguise of "Mask X". This wasn't just a reference, either, the main way to win the fight is to pull off the mask and reveal it's Bald Bull. It's also easy to tell the Dev's *least* favorite character. I'd have to say either Pizza Pasta or Kid Quick. Both of them debuted and we're never seen again after the first game. They're both extremely lazily designed and not memorable in the slightest, but at least Pizza Pasta was a tough fight, is ranked higher than him and runner-up to Mr. Sandman, and even has his own special attack, the grab. Kid Quick doesn't even move that fast, he's actually kind of slow. These two really feel like filler characters to say the game has 6 stages of gameplay.
i love how if you lose to any of the previous fighters after defeating sandman or Super macho man the narrator will explicitly say their are the champion of the world, so literally its possible to hear "introducing in the red corner the champion of the world G L A S S J O E"
"Guys, we need to bring characters back from the Arcade. Should we bring the Italian back?” “Pizza Pasta? Nah... Well, actually, I have an idea.” Then, Aran Ryan was born.
@@derthevaporeon now all we're missing is the three ingredients to create the second biggest cheater in boxing, he'd be the third if you count Mr. Sandman who in the Wii version has an actual Felony against him and would probably have his boxing license taken away. These ingredients are Ireland, anger, and a boxing glove flail.
The inclusion of Dragon Chen really surprised me. It officially proves to me that Nintendo has been re-using their assets so much the origin of some characters may as well be in the 70s.
While he did return in "Super Punch-Out!!" for the SNES, Piston Hondo replaces him in the NES and Wii versions, mostly moveset-wise. Also Great Tiger didn't have magical abilities in the Arcade; he's just Hurricane with extra steps in there.

@@lightningcolond that is actually a pretty awesome fact
@@Super11bigT and in the other arcade version dragon Chan was the first one designed
Probably because of his large cranium

Nah, man. Hollywood. Cocaine!
perfect joke
When Bear Hugger defeats you, his animation makes him look like he is feeling sorry for you and apologizing to you.
Lore inaccurate to actual canadians
People talking about "Canadian Bear Hugger", but nobody talking about *_"Introducing In The Left Corner Bald Bull"_*
Thanks for making these! Been looking all over for something like this.
Thanks a lot. Any other game videos you'd like to see?

I remember playing this in the arcade after playing it on the NES and I was surprised when I saw Piston Hurricane.

I don't know why they just grabbed the damage animation and used it as a laugh.

Well, they gotta let us know that this guy isn't French.
Though you could argue that Canadians are French Lite.
I don’t get why the opponents make their stunned faces when they laugh.
Me neither, except Dragon Chan. He does something with his arms, as if he's saying "Stay down and accept this"
@@cygnisdragon3485 I think the opponents should smile when they laugh. Soda Popinski could do what he does in the NES game.
These games are super old so to save space they just reuse assets. Older games didnt have the space capability like these newer games have.
