Here's the moment you've been waiting for! Defeat Tyson by punching him with the opposite are with which he swings. Only use star punches on him when he throws a hook!
I think a big mistake a lot of people still even after all these years is ignore the 1:30 rule. That is really hard to get down. If you can get passed that initial period then you have a fairly decent shot at beating Tyson if you keep your cool.
That's the first time someone explains that he takes more damage at the beginning of round one with the opposite hand. The people who film Tyson fights know it, but they don't tell you that. His health never went down that fast when I played it, so I've always thought RU-vidrs were playing a different version of the game! Thank you!
I always thought the game was rigged. I, too, didn't know about the opposite hand technique. I once avoided all of his punches in all 3 rounds, taking no damage, but only getting him down to about half health, never knocking him down. The judges still vote for Tyson in that situation.
Ya thanks, I never knew about the opposite hand and I'm not even at Tyson yet lol. But I'd imagine it works like that for all the guys that throw upper-cuts. I mean that's the proper way to do it in boxing real life so.. And by the way I only stayed playing this again like a week ago. Brings back memories.
I never thought I could take down Tyson. But with your videos and a lot of practice I finally did it. It helps playing on NES Classic because you can practice round 2 by starting at a saved point rather than replaying round one on a console.
Mindset is vital in this fight. I know it sounds counterproductive, but you have to be completely relaxed during those first 90 seconds. The second you panic is when you start "anticipating" and you are going to get hit
I just got incredibly mad and tried to do this bullshit for a solid half an hour until I just gave up because I couldn't do it anymore. I fucking hate his random delays bro. I'm gonna do it tomorrow once my fucking nose stops tingling from bullshit sense activating (because these fucking delays all over the place are nothing but bullshit), gamers in 80-90s were built diff I swear to God.
i just knocked him down for the first time! ( i didnt beat him, only knocked him down.) it took me so long to get to this part lol, thank you! i didnt use ur strategy on mr dream but i did for alot of them so thank you!
Mr Phsyco Even Summoningsalt says it is likely that only a few dozen people have the skills to beat him in Round 1. While I’m grateful to count myself as among them, an interesting recent statistic is from MAGFest 2020 challenge runs, in which 142 attempts (over 1171 total hours of playtime on 19 individual stations over a 72 hour period) resulted in 2 successful defeats (neither in Round 1) and a total of 10 hours spent on attempts. Given that I tried for about 2 hours just to get Round 1 (after doing Round 2 in short order) seems like most people gave up quickly or the remaining success spent hours just to get the Round 2. Either way, one can see that the biggest obstacle with Tyson is the reputation of the challenge, much like doing Quick Man’s stage without the freeze stopper.
I was finally able to beat Mr. Sandman with your tutorial...I couldn't do it before. I tried Mr. Macho on my own for a little while but couldn't win, no surprise. I took your tutorial on Mr. Macho and after numerous tries I still can't beat him...getting closer though...I can last to round 2 at least. Just came to see how Mike Tyson will be if I can ever get there...Thanks for the videos, I wouldn't have gotten this far without them
1:16 That is exactly what throws me off with Tyson. For other boxers, the punch animation winds up and hits as you'd expect, but his are slightly more delayed. So I think it's more about reacting to the right thing, as reacting to the windup will get you hit as you return to neutral.
Thank you so much! First you helped me beat Mr. Sandman, and now Tyson! Thank you so much! I just got finished playing for three hours trying to beat him, and I finally got it! The strategy worked! I got hit a couple of times so I TKOed him in the third round and not the second. I kept anticipating his uppercuts and that was my downfall. Thank you again!
Yes, delayed punches when opponents are stunned actually take away more health from almost every fighter. It also gives you a star sometimes as well. To get the right hit on Tyson though has to be frame perfect, meaning you only have 1/60th of a second. If you are too late, he'll block. If you are too early, it'll take away a small amount of health.
well, a lot of people have Mike Tyson Punch-out!! But in 1990, the contract to keep Mike Tyson's name on their game was done. And they didn't want to renew it, so they replaced Mike Tyson with Mr. Dream, in 1990
I did it! I beat Tyson legitimately! I first used a save state between rounds so that I could practice fighting him in the second round properly. After knocking him out that way I decided to try defeating him without a save state between rounds. Needless to say, it felt way too difficult because I could never master dodging his uppercuts at the right time. It felt like the time window to do the dodge was _way_ too small. After much frustration, I tried it by looking at my computer's screen instead of my television that was connected to it. That changed everything. I was suddenly able to easily dodge the uppercuts, as long as I didn't anticipate, and getting to the second round became suddenly quite manageable. Of course, it still took me incredibly great amount of tries to actually knock Tyson down three times in the second round, but I finally pulled it through. I really could not have done it without this video, so thank you, KoachKrab127, for creating this. You really explained things well. Word of advice: if you ever play this game with a computer, do not attach any secondary screen devices to it.
For the punches I throw the second punch as late as I can even if I don’t get it right, just so he can punch me less and I have more time to react, for his second batch of punches it’s just quick punches
Love how he threw in proper punches during the 90 seconds of dynamite grave digger punches. But both responses produce damage. The lead I think does 4 or 6 and the second one does 1 or 2 (if its proper).
Thank you so much! You helped me accomplish something I started when I was 5. Your videos are the best I could find for help, and you do awesome work. Thank you!
super helpful guide! I'm hoping I can do the whole game in 1 lucky run also regarding the squinting eyes, IF you're really quick and hit him while his eyes are closed (or open) you can knock him out real quick
There is a set pattern in the first 1:30 if you are just looking to dodge punches and not counter. This may seem a waste but for beginners they may wish to just advance and defeat Mike. Love this tutorial. Keep watching to improve the 2nd rd intro gut punches, my timing is off
Thank you for this excellent tutorial, Finally beat Mike Tyson for the first time. I couldn't quite pull of the stars in Round 2, but I managed to survive until Round 3's end and win on decision with about 6200 points.
Hey! Just got my first completion on Iron Mike. Thanks for the tips, it was exactly what I needed. Took me daily attempts for about 2 weeks. An hour a piece. It feels so good when you finally get it done!!!!!
i am still learning how to react against tyson. i have practiced with a save state hundreds of times and he just destroys me. I have gotten too 1:30 only twice without getting hit.
I can beat Tyson, but I really struggle against Mr. Dream. Namely because Mr. Dream's coloration makes it much more difficult to predict his knockdown punches.
5:40 After decades with this game, I feel kind dumb in not figuring out to set the opponent up for a quick KO in the second round by keeping their health low.
i would love to thank you i just beat MR.Dream and i wouldn't have got nearly as close and because of that i realy want to thank and on top of that today is my birthday
KoachKrab127 playing the switch port rn and they replaced mike Tyson with me dream witch kind of stinks because it really doesn’t feel the same I’m playing the game right now as I’m typing and wish me luck to beat me dream!
I can't hit him in the stomach with the left hand in the 2nd round. There must be more to it then just hitting down and hitting him with the B button for the left hand. It NEVER works when I do it. He just blocks it every time. This is all that's keeping me from beating him. How do you do it? I just don't know what I am doing wrong.
Something weird I found: when Tyson blinks, there is a small frame of opportunity to knock him down with a gut punch, I don't know the timing, but I did it 2 times
@@KoachKrab127 I just started playing this again with my 5 year old grandson and talk about a blast from the past man. Better times before people lost their damn minds
They are the same exact person.They do the same things but they are just re skinned because Nintendo didn’t update the contract with mike Tyson to they changed the name and skin color of mike Tyson.
In the first 1:30 onslaught, sometimes he raises his guard for a brief moment between the killer punches. Never been able to react quickly enough to throw a gut punch. Any thoughts?
I don't believe it's possible to hit him in the gut in the first round. I've watched several TAS videos and high score videos, and I have never seen anyone hit him in the gut in the first round. If it is possible, I'd love to see it. That would blow my mind.
KoachKrab127 I saw you do a buffer to get a star on one of Tyson’s hooks. I kind of wonder how big of a frame is it to get a star off one of the hooks?
@@KoachKrab127 Thank you, I was able to beat it on NES Emulator. For some reason my nintendo switch had more input lag than the emulator which caused me unable to beat it on the nintendo switch.
Again I'm having problems with my emulator. On the second round I block his punch and I try to punch him in the stomach right away and he just blocks it I can't repeatedly hit him no matter how I try for that first 30 seconds.
I have a device called a “powerpak.” Unfortunately, it has been discontinued, but there are similar devices you can still get. The powerpak is a special NES cartridge with a slot to place a compact flash (CF) card. On the CF card, you put all of your NES roms. Then when you put the CF card into the Nintendo cartridge, you can play any game you want. Also, the cartidge had the ability to create save states. But like I said, the powerpak has been discontinued. You can buy an “NES Everdrive” which is very similar.
