    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.

      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:

      @@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:

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    @Dreamline78 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

  • @xellaz
    @xellaz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    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. 🥊

    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

    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.

    _"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.

    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.

  • @FredGoldenJR
    @FredGoldenJR 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    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!

  • @joes4194
    @joes4194 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    @U Can Beat Video Games Great video & tutorial of this iconic game!!!!!!! I like how you mentioned the "ducking" mechanic. Most ppl have no idea that this is even in the game. (The timing has to be fast & precise). Although, I've yet to find it very useful in any of the fights & especially beyond the mid point of the game, I thought it was a very nice detail that you knew about & mentioned. Another mechanic that I've noticed is when an opponent gets up on the 1 of the count, they can usually be knocked right back down by landing the power uppercut.
