25:45 "I'm not skipping this. It's not happening." Lol. Even if it is a speed run, it should be a tradition in Punch Out Wii at GDQ to never skip that intro.
Not only is this one of the best GDQ runs ever, it's also a perfect example of the importance of good sound design in games. The audio queues are recognizable and consistent, and the punches sound super satisfying when they land on the opponent. This game has so much soul and personality, it's great!
If I recall correctly, Zallard1 mentions that this was the first time he beat all the fighters in straight succession in round 1of the bouts during a stream on his Twitch channel where he watched this run and provided commentary. It's a good watch to kind of understand what was going on in Zallard1's mind during certain fights, and some of the complicated technical aspects he needed to know to deal with them. You can start to see and hear Zallard start to tense up and concentrate more starting with King Hippo 2. He gets even more tense after the Great Tiger 2 fight. As for the Ball Bull 2 fight, I remember Zallard saying that he was really sweating and trying to compose himself not so much because he was worried about losing the fight, but he really wanted to get the round 1 string. At that point after getting past most of the opponents that had to be beaten with little to no mistakes or possibly lose the match (Especially Great Tiger 2) Bald Bull 2 was sort of the final gate keeper for Zallard. He mentions while Macho 2 can be bad, he's not nearly as bad as Bull 2 and the other GateKeepers, As for Sandman 2 he said that during round 1 and the first blinking Barrage shown in 106:20 Sandman allways blinks the same pattern. He goes completely random at rounds 2 and 3. Still though, to be able to maintain his composure and accomplish that is nothing short of amazing. It reminded me a lot of his first SPO blindfolded run, especially at the end when had nearly the same dumbfounded look he did at the end of his SPO run, like he was saying to himself "Did that really just Happen?" (after SPO), and "did that just happen in a marathon again?"(after Wii punchout)
Not nearly as impressive as his blindfolded punchout and super punchout runs. Like they said, everything in this game is consistent unlike the other punchout games, in addition to this game having more sound cues than other games in the series all of which are easily differentiated from each other. Still a really great run though, i agree.
49:28 the most impressive part of the run He deserved a standing ovation just for that "Expect a least a couple of retries" *Nails it at first try* that's just inhuman
I've always considered Bald Bull the hardest in Title Defense, followed by Soda and Sandman. It didn't help Zallard that BB has two attacks with the exact same audio cues but different timing. Major props to him for pulling it off so well!
"Expect a lot of resetting." (does instant knockdowns in the first phase) (gets frame perfect stars) (does precise buffers) (TKO/KO's opponent without ever entering a second round) (performs strats that took many runs and hours of practice) "Oh okay that happened I guess that's it"
"I guess this run's possible." PBs by 6 minutes. Zallard1 is the kind of runner that we will tell new runners about 50+ years from now and will live forever in legend!
I mean, that’s just it. Zallard is a god of this game. No human should be able to do this. I’m definitely giving him a sub on Twitch after the event is over.
Ever since I watched the first Blindfolded Punch-Out run on GDQ stream, I've wanted to see Punch-Out Wii be done blindfolded. It's finally here, and it absolutely is worth the wait. One of my all time favorite GDQ runs!
One of if not the most impressive accomplishments ever achieved within in a video game. Winning all 27 of the fights in Punch-Out!! (Wii), in a row, without ever going into round 2, while blindfolded.
I love how he underrates himself throughout the video ("expect a few restarts," "I can't believe I did that!"), yet he beat every fight on the first try XD
"I think I might need to retry this one, just be ready for that" .... To Quote a movie "You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means."
I know how hard this game is and seeing him pull everything off perfectly with little to no mistakes is absolutely breathtaking. Zallard1 is a god among speedrunners.
Zallard impresses as always. I remember Bald Bull from back in the NES days as one of the toughest fights, and here's Zallard accidentally going off-script, "I'm just going to have to react" and then does everything perfectly. Forget Super Metroid, Zallard1's the guy to watch at these events!
Quoth Old Ben Kenobi: "Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them." Clearly Zallard1's been honing his force senses, because hot dang, that run was a thing of beauty.
Zallard1 what a frickin legend. This is the most impressive run I was able to look at myself live but all the other wr‘s he managed to accomplish… It‘s just astounding
Another highlight of GDQ from good old Zallard1 guy is a monster in punch out and we can now declare him the punch out king till they release a new game
This is the best speed run I’ve ever seen I usually watch these to fall asleep and now I’m going to be exhausted at work as I was on the edge of my bed the entire time this run. Wish I could have seen this coming! Absolute legend
I remember first watching Zallards run at GDQ 2015. Would watch it so much that I knew some of the strats. No way I could do this. Such a hype run and what a moment for GDQ

Wow. You know it's a Zallard Blindfolded run when he's consistently having more trouble with the menu than he is with the opponents.

"Slightly over ten seconds?"

I love how in Glass Joe 2, Joe just gives a friendly "'allo" and then gets punched in the face for like a minute straight.
I know you're just making a joke, but if you're curious, I believe the full line he was going to say is "Allé-vous en forme?" (Are you in good shape?)

"This turn is looking pretty good"
As he says this blindfolded
Suspicious? :)
We desperately need a new Punch Out game, mostly so that Zallard1 can destroy it.
I for one would welcome such an eventuality. Especially if Switch controllers get a 'punch' function!
*When Nintendo removes any chance of buffer strats in a new punch out*
Imagine one called "punch-out!! All stars" with every character of the saga and also starring special guests
I agree but the wii game was probably the send out and good bye to the series
EdwardHowton motion controlled punchout sounds actually cool
Imagine looking at the start screen, putting the blindfold on for an hour. Then taking it off and you've won the game.
You will like the blindfolded "Castlevania SOTN" play-through they did last year.
@@WSmith1984 honestly blindfolded gameplay is the most skilled shit, absolutely breathtaking
I'm going to be honest. I kept forgetting that zallard1 was blindfolded until the menuing every. single. time.
Him Destroying boxers then just spending 30 seconds on menus were halarious
I still can’t believe it and this video has been in my sleep playlist for like.. a year
"If I miss an input it's all over"
*Misses*
*Recovers fine and wins anyway*
Just Zallard Things
In this run even the menu was hype
Word.

It still baffles me how Zallard pulled that off not only blindfolded, but managed to avoid Round 2 the ENTIRE run. Props to you dude.
What do you mean by round 2? I'm not familiar with punch out
EDIT: oh, you mean the timer?
Bungie Chief LogicalTips
Yup!

1:01:37
Don't forget the tetris grandmaster 3 run in AGDQ 2015. The guy literally managed to play insane tetris with invisible pieces.
Every year zallard comes back and does amazing stuff.
49:28 the most impressive part of the run
He deserved a standing ovation just for that
"Expect a least a couple of retries" *Nails it at first try*
that's just inhuman
Not to mention 4 frames from WR. Blindfolded.
Damn, that Bear Hugger fight almost looked like a normal Punch-Out fight!
This man defeated every character in the game without any un-intentional losses blindfolded... I no longer think he’s human and now think he’s a robot
19:34
"A lot of Aran Ryan's attacks are really silent."
Aran Ryan: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I never caught that the first time xD xD xD xD xD xD
That Bald Bull Loop 2 fight had me on the edge of my freaking seat
Same
I've always considered Bald Bull the hardest in Title Defense, followed by Soda and Sandman. It didn't help Zallard that BB has two attacks with the exact same audio cues but different timing. Major props to him for pulling it off so well!
“You’ve kinda been killin’ it up here, boss.”
Understatement of the year.
One of the best runs for the current gdq, i hope nintendo make another punch out for switch to get destroyer for this man
seriously, we need moar punchout
@@millersj So far this GDQ, Kirby Air Ride, Sonic Adventure DX, and Portal 2 have been very fun to watch
@@millersj also other punch-outs blindfolded cuz in other ones, there are less soundclues and they are more random.
*destroyed
Yeah
Zallard's perfect timing and ability to do this blind folded is why we havent been invaded by the aliens
He destroyed this game blindfolded.
I can’t even get to the bathroom in the dark.
"Expect a lot of resetting."
(does instant knockdowns in the first phase)
(gets frame perfect stars)
(does precise buffers)
(TKO/KO's opponent without ever entering a second round)
(performs strats that took many runs and hours of practice)
"Oh okay that happened I guess that's it"
43:39 “this is where you’ll probably see me start to do restarts” proceeds to never restart a fight for the rest of the run
"I guess this run's possible." PBs by 6 minutes. Zallard1 is the kind of runner that we will tell new runners about 50+ years from now and will live forever in legend!
Yeah!
He's like the kid who says he failed his test when he got a 99
Zallard1 is such a madman, maybe one of the best speedruns we've seen on GDQ in a LONG time
man it's been a long time since a run got me this hype. The absolute madlad just walks on stage and proceeds to ultra-instinct the entire game.
10:07 ''We get to see all the cool cutscenes''
Actually no, everyone except for you gets to see them lmao.
I mean, that’s just it. Zallard is a god of this game. No human should be able to do this. I’m definitely giving him a sub on Twitch after the event is over.
Once he masters the menu he could probably get the same time with or without sight
This, followed by Keizaron's amazing disaster of a Crystal run, combine to make the best consecutive 5 hours of any GDQ ever.
Zallard struggled more with the menus than he did with the fights. Every run of his has been a highlight reel. Thanks for uploading!
that moment when the only thing to improve the time of the speedrun is to know how to hit the buttons for the next fight blindfolded :D
Ever since I watched the first Blindfolded Punch-Out run on GDQ stream, I've wanted to see Punch-Out Wii be done blindfolded. It's finally here, and it absolutely is worth the wait. One of my all time favorite GDQ runs!
this dude's using the force. no other explanation. 'subtle audio clues'? yeah right. nice try obi-wan
But a boxing ring is flat
How could he possibly win with no high ground?
I think that during one of his previous blindfolded runs, they changed the category to Jedi %
@@Sharikacat that was not for zallard, that was for sinister1 with MTPO blindfolded in AGDQ2014
His midichlorean count is off the charts!
This run is gonna go down in history as one of the most impressive of all time
Blind Kaizo was hype as hell, but this was by far THE BEST run at this GDQ holy hell, thats amazing.
Amatsu need some blindfolded blind Kaizo next year I guess
Someone did kaizo blind? Wtf
One of if not the most impressive accomplishments ever achieved within in a video game. Winning all 27 of the fights in Punch-Out!! (Wii), in a row, without ever going into round 2, while blindfolded.
The Bald Bull title defense fight is the most tense part of the run, mama mia.
Idk when he almost hit the options menu was pretty intense
Especially about 10 seconds away from round two
52:53 scariest moment in the run, it was so close!
For sure
The real run killer
and the actually one 1:00:51
I can’t pull off a third of these techniques when looking, but boy howdy I can operate the menu! Zallard is some kind of maniac. Bless him.
That TD Bald Bull fight has got to be one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in a video game. Truly legendary work.
Menu: appears
Zallard1: why do I hear boss music?
*Navigates menu*
Next boxer: "Why do I hear boss music?"
IDK how this is even possible, this is definitely one of the most amazing runs I've seen on GDQ
Cant wait for the Mike Tyson Punch Out/Super Punch Out/Punch Out Wii all played at the same time with 1 controller run by Zallard at GDQ2020
The absolute madman even did the credits blindfolded.
I love how he underrates himself throughout the video ("expect a few restarts," "I can't believe I did that!"), yet he beat every fight on the first try XD
An absolute landmark in speedrunning history.
I keep coming back to this run, it's beautiful
"I think I might need to retry this one, just be ready for that"
.... To Quote a movie "You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means."
The movie is The Princess Bride
Love that movie
Even 2 years later and this is still one of the, if not the best speedrun of all time. Absolute lunacy
Why is this dude such a legend.
Best run of SGDQ so far. Zallard1 is a Punch-Out GOD!
This was my first GDQ to attend and seeing this in person was absolutely mind blowing!
His ability to consistently pull off near perfect runs with an audience is impressive
I know how hard this game is and seeing him pull everything off perfectly with little to no mistakes is absolutely breathtaking. Zallard1 is a god among speedrunners.
This was one of the best moments of SGDQ 2019 by far.
Best run by far this GDQ in my opinion. Couldn't keep my eyes off of the run live
Thank you for posting the greatest run in GDQ history and thank you zallard for doing this
Zallard impresses as always. I remember Bald Bull from back in the NES days as one of the toughest fights, and here's Zallard accidentally going off-script, "I'm just going to have to react" and then does everything perfectly.
Forget Super Metroid, Zallard1's the guy to watch at these events!
I like the echo location zallard uses to select the boxers.
The wiimote also vibrates on highlight. For once an actual use.
This is incredible! Definitely the highlight of this year's SGDQ.
Quoth Old Ben Kenobi: "Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them." Clearly Zallard1's been honing his force senses, because hot dang, that run was a thing of beauty.
Ah yes, my favorite Star Wars character: old ben
Von Kaiser is definitely my favorite. The way he "ha-HA"s after dodging and the way he performs his "aaaaaAATACKKUH" are just so endearing to me
This was one of the most incredible runs in any game I have ever seen. My god this was legendary
Zallard1 what a frickin legend. This is the most impressive run I was able to look at myself live but all the other wr‘s he managed to accomplish… It‘s just astounding
The true difficulty of this run is the menuing!
Increíble, no puedo imaginar cuanto tiempo le ha dedicado a Punch-Out!! para haberse aprendido todos los patrones de los boxeadores.
Mis respetos
Zallard: You can't defeat me
King Hippo: I know, but he can.
*The Punchout menu:*
I was glued to the screen watching him do it live. Definitely one of the most entertaining GDQ runs yet.
Zallard's the guy who says "I could beat this with my eyes closed" and actually does
My man on the couch in white is the ultimate hypeman, love his support and positive vibe.
yeah I like Klaige. basically a cheerleader the whole time.
I love how Zallard is just like "just because I can't see Macho Man doesn't mean you guys shouldn't"
oml the most stressful part of this run was navigating to get to the next fighter
Legendary. GG, Zallard. The Trifecta is complete.
Another highlight of GDQ from good old Zallard1 guy is a monster in punch out and we can now declare him the punch out king till they release a new game
When Title Defense Bald Bull starts his bull rush:
Everyone else: Aw shit
Zallard1: Ok
This is the best speed run I’ve ever seen I usually watch these to fall asleep and now I’m going to be exhausted at work as I was on the edge of my bed the entire time this run. Wish I could have seen this coming! Absolute legend
That was one amazing run. Love Zallards play and couch commentary was on fire. Still can't believe he was blind folded for the whole thing
This is what Speedrunning is about, sheer mastery. I've never seen a game so utterly handled before.
Wow! This year GDQ had great runs, but Zallard, my man... That was amazing!
And so fun to watch.
Just watch it! Worth every second!
This is by far the most Insane run I've ever seen.
The greatest feat of speedrunning i've ever witnessed. This man is a legend.
I remember first watching Zallards run at GDQ 2015. Would watch it so much that I knew some of the strats. No way I could do this. Such a hype run and what a moment for GDQ
probably the best run ever at GDQ considering how hard he PB'd and literally showed us the basically the entire game blindfolded, absolutely insane
This is unironically one of the greatest speedruns I've ever seen
Oh Zallard1, I positively adore you. This was magnificent, and it was even stressful just watching. Keep it up.
Dude... what realm of absurd sorcery did I just bear witness to
Wow insane Zallard did not have to reset at all! Absolutely incredible run and a blast to watch!!
Blindfolded runs is really satisfying to watch
Even though the *BOGUS* was not released, this was en *EPIC* run from Zallard1. Props to him for this legendary run.
So impressive remembering the sound ques of all 26 fights with no losses.
So glad this is finally up on TH-cam. One of the best runs I've seen at GDQ.
This is probably one of the most incredible run I've ever watched in any GDQ ever. So much hype and goosebumps watching this live!
An all time best gdq run!
There's being good at a game.
There's being great at a game.
But this? This is mastering a game.
Seeing this live was phenomenal, and seeing this archive would be too. Watch this whole dang video, everyone! Congrats to Zallard!
