Kinda yes, but not quite. Rick focuses more on defense while Nick on offense. Rick has stronger guard; can even take Super Punches really well, then counterattack out of nowhere. His "weak spot" (the animation when after using Super Punch at the right moment grants an instant KD) is also incredibly hard to reveal. Plus, it is impossible to defeat him by KO (only by TKO), unlike his brother. Nick however throws faster punches and are far stronger - the weakest ones take out 1/4 of max HP. Also his combo of 13 (i think) punches is near impossible to be completely avoided. But as I said, his defenses are somewhat weaker than Rick's, his "weak point" is easier to reveal, and can be KO'd by countering Leaping Elbow with Super Punch (the timing is very strict) but that doesn't mean he's completely defenseless. He is the only opponent in the game (to my knowledge) to BLOCK Super Punch (not dodge, but BLOCK). But, as I said, thier styles are similar, but distinct enough to make them a completely separate fighters (so one being "Title Defense" version of the other isn't holding itself)
@@Oscarus4250 Wow, thanks for the insight! I'll have to rewatch some Rick Bruiser LPs, to see this tougher defense. I wish Nintendo would make the next sequel to Punchout on the Wii already.
He does that whenever he calms down after one of his rages. If you take too long to knock him out after punching his face, his coach will yell, "Stay calm mate!" and he'll do the same thing.
It took me 2 days to get Hoy Quarlow's HECTIC pattern down, and another day just to beat him. Needless to say, I'm now googling the last 2 opponents' patterns.
fake h, Prince is more like Vodka Drukenski / Soda Popinski, but gets angry over being punched in the face rather than having bottles knocked out of his hands.
That Earthquake Uppercut move Rick does (the one where he does a few mini-hops before he hops to the back of the ring and shaking the ground by coming at you with a one-hit killer uppercut move that knocks you to the canvas in one hit) is one of the toughest attacks to dodge in the whole game. Even if you dodge correctly, sometimes you still get hit.
I'm a bit puzzled about our player here. Does he not realize he can block or is he just so good that he doesn't need to. I mean he is dodging rather impressively.
So true! I like that the Wii version tries to tell a story to the fighting, somewhat. We can see that Mr. Sandman was sort of like the original Little Mac of that world, but lost his hunger once he became the champ, like Rocky. Something like this would have been great for this game, the boss being Little Mac and some title defenses to add some replay value.
At the time this WAS Little Mac! Never stated on the Japanese promotion stuff, though, it did on the American. It wasn't until Wii's Punch Out that the producers stated officially that they weren't the same.
The special circuit is quite tricky, Narcis prince is just easy and it's not hard to find out how he works, Hoy Quarlow is quite annoying actually but once you've found him out he is probably the easiest one in the circuit, Rick Bruiser's attacks are really easy to dodge but his insta KO is the only thing that can screw you over, and Nick's attacks are exploitable and the only thing that you fight against is time.
She, and thanks... I think. :P I hadn't played the game in many years leading up to this video. I found it safer, in most situations anyway, to just dodge rather than going for a block or counter. It obviously didn't always work, but it was enough to get me through the game again.
Foreign weapons are used in Wii Punch-Out! as well. Really, as for the console versions of the games anyway, the NES one is the only one that doesn't feature characters who blatantly cheat or use weapons.
WOW!!!!!! This dude made it look EASY!!!! Sheesh, i can remember back in '93, '94, playin' this game, Rick & ESPECIALLY Nick Bruiser WHOOPIN' MY ASS!!!!!!! CONSTANTLY!!!! Watchin' this makes me want my SNES BACK!!!!
LALALALALLALALLAALALLALALALALALALALLALALALLALALALALALALALALALALALALALLALALALALALALALALALALALA No, that was his brother, Green Joe that beat Nick Bruiser
I still think one of the harder fighters is Mad Clown. Nick and Rick I can now blow through in like under 45 secs each. It's because once you learn that counter punching is how to be pro at this game, all the old fighters become chumps. Mad clown is one of the few that you have to react to most of his attacks instead of intercepting them, this makes him harder to fight conceptually. He would need a difficulty tweak to be the final boss, and prob shouldn't be a clown, but you get my point..
@@MKG176 i know im 7y late but the hardest for me to beat were super macho man and hoy quarlow. Smm’s attacks need really quick timing and you always never see it coming Hoy quarlow is so hard to dodge and you can lose by time up
@@goofyahhchipsahoy118 since I'm still alive, I'll respond to this nercophiliac 😂 Hoy Quarlow fights in a strict pattern that never changes except for a few 50/50s he does when when jumps back to kick you. Learn the pattern and you can speed run him.
I had forgotten about the Special Circuit... I played this game back in the 90's. I had thought I never beat Super Machoman... But now I remember beating all these dudes, so I had beaten all previous Circuits. 🤔 I'm going through playing again, and I'm on Super Machoman now. After all these years not playing this, it's like a new game to me. Lol
My fastest time(s) for the Special circuit. Narcis Prince 0'56''22. Hoy Quarlow 0'44''96. Rick Bruiser 0'47''13. Nick Bruiser 0'49''41. And those are my best time(s).
At this point I’m not surprised if the next game’s champion just has a fucking gun with the ridiculous shit that Hoy Quarlow can bring a STAFF into the ring.
I explicitly mentioned that I was referring to the console versions, in which 2 out of 3 feature characters who wield weapons. SPO may have been the first in the series to do it, but it's the standard now. Deal with it.
Fun fact: in all of the minor circuit, bob Charlie, and nick bruiser, there is a Nintendo character on the leaderboard Gabby Jay: Wario Bear Hugger: Luigi Piston Hurricane: Mario Bald Bull: Peach Bob Charlie: Zelda Nick Bruiser: G. Joe
i perfected this game in the pass. every boxer has a weakness whether it is hitting the face or the body. u just have to learn how they move. and counter punches are crucial when it comes to time attack
Because that's not a 'proper' counterpunch according to the game - for it to be part of the 'counter punch' score tally you must be countering their punch AS they're throwing it, not just after they throw it. Countering opponents' special moves, on the other hand, is part of the 'Special Prize' score tally.
Don''t hold up. If you're pressing up he'll throw a right handed super punch to the head, if you aren't pressing the pad then he'll throw a left handed punch to the body.
"And who in their right mind would believe a 107 pound kid should be boxing with world class heavyweight fighters?" Some real boxers are light-weight, you know.
Well, I dont think he should have a rocket launcher but, putting captain falcon in punch out could be a good idea. It'd be so awesome to see him knock you out with a falcon punch XD.
You realize that you can counter princes punches for an early face punch right? That fight literally takes about 20-30 seconds to complete. Now the old man, that's where the challenge comes into play, and nick bruiser, don't even try countering him. You can and I do but to do so will take many failures. . . many. And I died laughing at how hoy hit you immediately with the cane. Much like my first experience facing him.
A. The Mario Kart reference, it's spelled with a 'K' by the way, was an apt comparison. B. There are numerous characters in the Punch-Out canon, including your beloved twenty-five year old arcade games, that use illegal blows. The original incarnations of Dragon Chan and Bear Hugger are a quick example. In SPO, Mad Clown throws balls at the opponent. Masked Muscle spits in the opponent's eyes and headbutts them. Heike Kagero smacks you with his hair. Both Bruisers throw illegal elbows, etc.
I generally just block when Nick starts throwing his combo punches. Sure, I take damage, but chances are one of those punches is going to land anyway and you get to keep your super-punch.
LULZ at 4:26! Whenever I fight Rick Bruiser I can't help but crack up! Everytime he takes a hit his face is just PRICELESS! LOOKS LIKE HE'S SHITTING A HOT RAZOR BLADE! XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX!!!!!

The what now?
Yeah I seen it I'm not blind
You mean Gabby Jay? Cuz he is the Glass Joe of this game.

@Rice696Naris Prince
they need to bring some super punch out characters like nick and rick bruiser back in a new punch out game
they brought aran ryan and bear hugger
Dont forget gabbie jay
Dont mind me this is a personal opinion. Bring back narcis prince pls
In my opinion, I feel like it would have been better to have nick bruiser as the champ in punch-out!! Wii

Rick could come back because nick said he woulf retire

OW MY FACE
Nick bruiser and Rick bruiser are gigachads
All the Punch Out games are the most fun to learn and play. I honestly like these games more than that super graphic no point nowadays.
I'm a bit puzzled about our player here. Does he not realize he can block or is he just so good that he doesn't need to. I mean he is dodging rather impressively.

A 78 Year old man shouldn't be boxing, he's cheating with a staff, and even his jabs are illegal!
Paul Castillo do you even play the game everyone cheats thats the point of the game
That's the point, punch-out is a funny take on boxing where EVERYONE is cheating.
He Needs To Be Disqualified
Ya doesn’t his jabs hit u in the crotch?
It's just being fair to the unfair.
She, and thanks... I think. :P
I hadn't played the game in many years leading up to this video. I found it safer, in most situations anyway, to just dodge rather than going for a block or counter. It obviously didn't always work, but it was enough to get me through the game again.
Foreign weapons are used in Wii Punch-Out! as well. Really, as for the console versions of the games anyway, the NES one is the only one that doesn't feature characters who blatantly cheat or use weapons.
That's the 1 win in Glass Joe's record.
As a Brit, I am very proud of our British rep in this game.

"I will not let you touch my beautiful, beautiful face"
Too true. Next, they'll put in a "Bare-Knuckle Ultimate Fighting Champion" mode!
"Oh you, you've hit me face. Come 'ere, now!"
There is no way Narcis Prince is stronger than everybody in the Major & World Circiut.
Theory is that Special is not for the strongest fighters in WVBA but just a Gimmick circuit that is fringe for fighting.
Lighting reflexes! This is still impressive after all this time.

fun fact: Narcis Prince is the only one of the boxers here that has a 100% legal moveset
Piston hurricane and bald bull (kind of) also do also Bob Charlie and Mr sandman
Gabby Jay, Piston Hurricane, Bald Bull, Bob Charlie, Mr. Sandman, Macho Man and Narcis Prince are the ones that don't cheat.
He means in special circuit
Rick would of been a better final boss than nick, at least he has emotion
Nick is too tough for emotion!

You're really good =)
I remember that I never got pass Rick Bruiser, back in the days when I used to play this game...
That old man isn’t allowed to use a stick in boxing.
For instance, with bear hugger you have to hit him before he telegraphs that he's open for the 14 second ko
Ah, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.
And Dragoon Chan's kicks aren't allowed too.
no, the contrary: beats harder but lowly defend himself.

"And who in their right mind would believe a 107 pound kid should be boxing with world class heavyweight fighters?"

*crowd silence as Nick Bruiser walks*
Read the manual. It clearly states in the rules that in the Nintendo Boxing Association, there are no illegal blows or punches.
the key to dodging that Earthquake move is to actually wait a little bit, about half a second before dodging.
5:20 OUCH !!!
I used to have a pattern for fighting Hoy Quarlow when I would play it at my friends house but now ive completly forgot it XD
THE BEST DAMN BOXING ASSOCIATION IN THE WORLD, THAT'S WHO!

super punch out it my faverite boxing game.I think it's even better the the ready to rumble games.
it's multiplayer. but just like all punch-out games single-player is where the games main focus is.
stand still to block body blows like Hoy Qualows staff
He's also kicking D: and this is NOT kickboxing D:
The game focuses on boxers having illegal moves duh.
There are no rules according to the boxing place itself.
1000+ cool points for the awesome Simpsons reference.
