Debunking the Difficulty - Punch-Out!! (NES) 

going up against iron mike tyson, sounds about right

especially since tyson took literally 90 seconds to be KO Michael Spinks and Carl the Truth Williams lol..

@@14spokenwords It would have been cool if for the 1990 remake where they swap Tyson for Mr Dream, they put in famous opponents that Tyson beat down in the mid to late 80s. Would have been a nice touch. I always thought that you're almost playing AS Tyson in this. Like Mac is a white version of Tyson lol. Tyson started his professional career at 17 and Mac is 17, Mac is from New York and so is Tyson, both had REALLY good trainers (I think Doc Louis is a reference to someone on Muhammad Ali's team or something?), no one had any real expectations for Tyson when he started, the scouting reports on him weren't too impressive.

@@SirJoelsuf1 ho Lee mindblown

I Beat Mike Tyson all the time but for some strange reason I can’t beat Glass Joe

By that metric, aren’t all games puzzle games?

@@opaljk4835 to different degrees.

Much, much, much closer to the first rhythm game, than a puzzle game.

​@@iami3rian394 I see it as less of a "rhythm game" or "puzzle game" and more of a "press buttons at the correct time in response to audio-visual cues in order to accomplish the task the game asks of you" game....

@@pullt you have described every video game ever.

God that game was great... so many quarters!

It went that way on the SNES version

And thanks to that Lil Mac was born

Guys wanna play arcade punchout . Play Mame..

Honestly the arcade is not very fun compared to the NES or SNES games

Me neither! I used to ho-stomp my way through this game. I dominated Tyson's ass! Probably more of a testament to the fact that I played it waaaay too much more than anything

@@christco120 same

Just last week I asked my best friend since kindergarten "do you remember when you beat King Hippo?" I was sleeping over at his house (maybe 13 years old) we were struggling through the game. I passed out and he kept on playing. His father was a janitor at a local school and did 4:00am clean up at a strip mall next door on the weekends, which we helped with. I can never forget how excited he was, in the morning dark, picking up garbage, explaining how he beat King Hippo. THAT was gaming!!

Man all of us that were kids in the 80’s, smh it was hard as hell to beat a lot of these “NES” games. Kids these days and ones that were born in the time frame of when the internet was a thing to look up stuff.. those kids be like “ oh hell yeah it was hard” and trying to claim as if there in are era. We didn’t have the opportunity to look up codes and etc. we had to rely on kids who had the Nintendo magazines or the kids who’s parents allowed to call the 1-800 number for help and tricks on games.. I remember you were the shit, top dawg if you beat certain games. It was a beautiful time if you were a kid in the 80’s.. God I wish we could go back sometimes.. I think it’s kinda stupid they took off iron Mike from the game I know why but still isn’t the same.. this guy especially in are era it be like who the hell is Mr.Dream that game wouldn’t have been as badass as it was it was “Mike Tyson” that had that title that who you bragged about beating..

Infinite bragging rights

I'm 16 rn and I am having trouble with sandman

I find it weird when people says they "struggle" with a game, because the only times that I feel struggle when playing a videogame is when I don't like them or I'm burned out, which is the point of "stop playing, it's not worth it".

@@dimwarlock Struggle in the context of the above comment means they had a tough time getting though the game. That doesn't automatically mean they were burned out or didn't like the game. Just that they didn't progress much as they hoped for (maybe for the difficult or something else). The example being for me is Battletoads, it was a struggle to get through the game, not because of anything else, but just for the difficulty. Maybe you don't agree that people should use that word for something that is difficult, but what can you do. Please excuse my poor english, it's not my native language.

@@dimwarlock Nikola is right, we’re all different ages when we play games, and growing up 80s unless you knew a gamer, were just good at picking up cues or clues,or had Nintendo Power strats, we struggled having young brains 🧠 & just a hulking giant like Bald Bull or Tyson was intimidating in itself 😢😅. We’re also having the 8bit time of our lives even renting games or lucky if we could have allowance to buy them, or get parents to gift them

Shh… don’t tell them my secret!

I just count the jumps, third sound I punch, works every time. They try to throw you off with the echo on the bounces, but it's easy when you get it down

You're thinking of Piston Honda. For Bald Bull, it's the camera flash.

@@DemureDave Watch back at the second Bald Bull fight 15:13 when he charges and you will see the bearded man nods as well.

Second bald bull can't be KOd

Also if you dodge the first, he only backs up halfway and it's easier to punch him in the gut

@@robfrancois True, once he starts his bill charge he goes into an endless loop that only has 4 available outcomes. 1. Knock you down 2. Get knocked down 3. Miss and repeat or 4. Time runs out for the round.

Strangely enough that audience member doesn’t even move in this video…I was watching and waiting for it but it never happened. Then I realized it’s in the second fight. Came here to see if anyone else knew about this.

@@joebeezy9471 If I remember right, that same audience member is an indicator for Super Macho Man’s quick spin punch as well.

@@ShinAkuma76different guy, for macho its the sunglasses

Look Sharp Be Sharp March ok thanks

And the memes "Release the- Bogus!"

That's a really good game, he could also do super punch out

SO underrated!! Such a great sequel, faithful to the original punch out games while adding new “puzzle elements” to the fights. I wish they had a new game planned for the switch!

Ryu did zelda 2 many moons ago, I’m sure of it. Edit : Yeah it was part of his extraordinarily hard games compilation on his main ryukahr channel. Deffo worth checking out

@@hayesblake I've seen that one, he didn't get very far though. I want to see him return to it for debunking like he did with ghosts and goblins

@@firestar4430 yeah it’s true he never finished it but thought it was at least mentioning in case you weren’t aware of the vid. 👍🏻

please be quiet. dont tell people what to do. Also, there are thousands of other channels that have played these games and beat them. open your eyes and use your brain. stop being weird and loyal to some RU-vidr.

He's so hard I cannot even get close to beating him

Also hit him in the gut as he goes for his uppercuts. When he bends down hit him in the gut and get stars.

This

It's up there for me. One of the few NES games I've played and never beaten legit (no save states, etc.)

He was wrong about Von Kaiser right? He was thinking about Don Flamenco where he said you can hit him forever if u alternate punches, he also missed that u can punch him in the face for a star when he twitches and when u use the star in the middle of a combo it's an automatic KO

I just got to the part where he corrected himself
