Word on the Wind: May 23, 2014

I played SNES Punch-out before any other Punch-Out, so they stick in my mind more than the NES or Arcade originals do. Gabby Jay is more immediately the loser, Masked Muscle is a cheating bastard, Heike Kagero still trips me up and Hoi Karlo is insanity. All of the older boxers weren't especially memorable to me other than Super Macho Man.

I think it's a really fun way to present things. Like a new game plus.

I sure hope they make another punch-out soon, though I do wonder how it would be structured. I mean, at the end of this, Mac is the world champion. They can't just make a sequel where he starts all over again, or one where he's just defending the title. Would he migrate to a different league? Would he pass the torch to some new Little Mac? Also, does the world video boxing league (or whatever it's called) have a women's division? They could go all Karate Kid 4 on this franchise!

You can always go the "back from retirement" angle as well.

Didn't someone try to make a really dumb romhack of NES Punch-Out, and it was literally just "Mike Tyson punches out aliens that are really badly rendered by NES graphics" or something?

Really like this game and this Let's Play, and I'm honestly surprised how the boxers' certain quirks can be easily exploited. Especially with Mr. Sandman. I do have to wonder what Title Defense will do to make them more challenging.

Some of the fighters aren't really that much more difficult, while others are hard as hell. I'd elaborate on all of them and say which one is the one I hate fighting the most, but I'd rather let ThornBrain get to it.

Of all the first-time characters to debut, they go with Disco Kid? I guess they can get away with more as a throwback as opposed to debuting something as heavily stereotypical as necessary to blend in with the Punch-Out universe.

They had a very good reason to use Disco Kid instead of the original Kid Quick:

. His appearance is really suggestive of racial stereotype. Disco Kid's vaguely camp persona is an improvement.

I've heard some people say that Glass Joe's only win was against Bald Bull, which was something.

In SNES punch-out, it's said that Gabby Jay's only win was against Glass Joe. According to the wiki, his one win in this game was a freak win against Nick Bruiser(!)

J.theYellow posted:

He originated in the SNES Super Punch-Out!!, which meant all his personality had to come from the Wii version. He's Irish. That's all we know about him at this point.

Aran Ryan was meant to be really unlikeable, even in his SNES incarnation. He's the first character to "cheat" by clinching, then getting an uppercut on you out of it- which is also a health-draining move. Ryan was meant to be the first character to cause losses by time-out.

On the flip side of that coin, if you got good at countering the clinch then he was the architect of his own destruction :v:

He's not just a scary-black-man, he's the champion. It makes good sense that he's this hulking, intimidating monster. Him being black is really a non-issue. He could be any race, and he would still go with the intimidation factor. It's not even portrayed negatively, as Super Macho Man and Aran Ryan is portrayed: Sandman is just this zealous champion who still abides by the rule.

To be honest, I think he's one of the few boxers that abide the rules besides Little Mac.

I don't know if there's anything that outright says it, but it's commonly thought that Mr. Sandman is at based on or inspired by Philadelphian heavyweight world champion Joe Frazier. Of course, Mr. Sandman is even bigger and meaner, but every character in this game is a cartoonish caricature anyway.

Pretty much, the only other boxers I can think of that play like straight-up boxers are Glass Joe and Von Kaiser...though I don't think it's in the rules to do overhead smashes so that counts in King Hippo too. Sandman is frightening but he's a worthy opponent, even though he does try to flinch you out with a little "boo" which does get me often.

Which says a lot that the other two are in the lowest league.

Sandman got to be the best boxer in the world, while literally everyone else was cheating in some way, playing totally fair, something only Mac also managed.

Most of the boxers in this game don't cheat though? They may not fight like actual boxers fight, but they don't do anything flagrantly against the rules like you'd see in Super Punch-Out. Nobody kicks you or hits you with a foreign object or anything. Aran Ryan headbutts, and Great Tiger is a wizard, but everyone else just punches you.

Soda Popinski drinks a literal healing soda during the match which I'm pretty sure denotes him as being a drug abuser of some sort, at least in the official sense of using chemical performance enhancers. But yeah other than that none of them really do anything aually illegal towards you other than those that you mentioned.

King Hippo and Bear Hugger does a Bear Hug( or a Hippo Hug, as it is called for King Hippo), which is illegal in boxing. Great Tiger's Magic is still not in the realm of techniques allowed in Boxing. Don Flamenco does a backhand punch, which is not allowed in boxing. Aran Ryan just flat-out cheats. Soda Popinski brings drinks on the ring, and I presume there is some shady substances in that drink. Even if that wasn't the case, you are not allowed to bring foreign objects in the ring, consumable or not. Bald Bull does a charging Headbutt, which again, against the rules. Super Macho Man does the spinning clothesline, which is not allowed due to the fact that you are not supposed to attack your opponent with your arm.

One thing I'm not too sure about is Sandman's smashes. There aren't many instances of boxers actually smashing, as height differences aren't this drastic, so it's hard to know.

There is a headbutt in the Super Nintendo version, but then there's also a guy hitting you with a cane.

I guess what I'm saying is there's a lot a broken rules in Super Punch-Out.

It's worth noting that it's in continuity that losing to Little Mac gave Glass Joe a record of 1-100, and that's what enables him to wear head gear into a fight, under WVBA rules.

If you lose 100 times in Punch-Out!!, Little Mac can wear head gear, and every battle in the ring is like playing against a holo-opponent, where he doesn't take damage from head shots. You have to work really hard to lose that much, though.

If you lose to TD Glass Joe, he climbs up on the corner ropes and yells, "C'est gagn�!" (I am the winner!)

I can't think of anyone in the game that he's supposedly beat in the past. Glass Joe on the NES was somewhat attributed to Mike Tyson, since in an interview Mike Tyson said Glass Joe beat him. Gabby Jay in the SNES was rumored to have beaten Nick Bruiser. The only thing I can figure is maybe he got one of those fluke victories against Mr. Sandman, but I'm pretty sure Mr. Sandman is undefeated in this game. Same for Super Macho Man, he only got beat by Mr. Sandman.

Bald Bull maybe?

I have to guess Bald Bull yeah, it's like Glass Joe to get off a fluky counterpunch during a Bull Charge and that's his single win
