lets be real here, as timid as joe is, he is still a boxer by trade. I don't want to mess with a boxer in real life. He probably could knock out some people in real life if they made him angry or motivated enough. He's also in over his head against a league where most of the players are technically cheating by real world standards(even mac to a degree because of his star punch). I commend his persistence
@@just_dead_inside2461 just look at aran ryan. He's probably the most realistic depiction of real world boxers who fought dirty. If not a parody of how desperate and stircrazy they can get at thier worst. Most of the other abilities are fictional or fantastical but wouldn't/shouldn't be allowed. Even if they did exist in real life.
Honestly, i find it disrespectful, imagine getfing your shit kicked in only for them to let you win, when you know you shouldnt have won that, thats just me though
Glass Joe: Ha, I can beat anyone, I'm going to challenge Sandman next *cut to Joe in a full body cast in the Hosptial with Mac bedside* Mac: So about our fight, your not gonna belive me but Doc paid me to let you win Joe: *muffled angry french*
I'd like to imagine this is all chronological, mac lost to glass joe and everyone thought he was losing his touch/wasn't worth fighting, and then he absolutely decimates everyone else without breaking a sweat or being touched.
That look of fear Sandman makes right before the final star punch, right after calling Little Mac scared, is absolute perfection. Punch Out Wii is so good and it deserves a port to Switch.
@@gruffalo14 I think they should make a prequel where you play as Doc in his prime. He could maybe use chocolate bars to heal, and since some of the opponents seem old, maybe doc could battle younger versions of them, but others may not be there because they were too young. Maybe in an ending cutscene Doc would retire and then it’ll show a short bit of him training Mac.
@Mathcoolb I like to think that Nick did that elbow attack from Super Punch-Out, and Glass Joe dodged somehow and landed a punch right in the middle of Nick's chest, causing a freak accident like a heart attack that took Nick down and allowed Joe to win.
@@AceTechn0 Yea but who do the contenders challenge anyway? No one except for completionists.It’s one purpose is only gonna be seen by a very few people. It like having a Secret Character that nobody knows and that absolutely sucks, why waste the time.
@@onehitwonders7729 I'm not a completionist, but I would do the challenges. Why wouldn't you do the challenges? That's called extra in game content, and you want to play that because it's fun. REAL completionist things that no REGULAR player would do would be like, y'know, collecting 100 feathers. That's not fun! Challenges ARE fun, and many regular players complete them cause it's substantial content that gives them a short but fun challenge to spend a while more playing the game! Getting 100 of some random item is just tedious, especially if some are well hidden, and no player who doesn't care about completing the game would do that.
"So mr mac your win record is 99-1 with your only recorded loss being to glass joe, why do you think that is?" - "I've always appreciated glass joe as a role model, he inspires others that if he can make it here then anyone can. And I wanted to contribute to that, he has a record on his card that he defeated world champion little mac, if he can do it, anyone has what it takes to make it here if you work hard enough."
I think part of why that is, Is because this guy plays it and makes it look easy, but then again, Being able to actually hear the game does help, Most of the time The game grumps are just that loud XD
disco kid warns you when he’s about to throw a punch, and poses to let you hit him, and yet he still holds a higher position to glass joe and von kaiser, two characters who actually try
Little Mac looked a Mr. Sandman and thought to himself “My only means of self preservation against behemoths orders of magnitude outside my weight class, dodging and ducking? Don’t need it.”
Always thought there should be a challenge for not taking advantage of Piston Honda/Hondo bowing. I always thought it was mean to do that becuase he's just being polite
He's bowing looking straight at you, that is a sign of disrespect since he doesn't trust you to not pull a move on him should he face the ground during a bow. But yes punching a bowing man in the face is rude.
@@starkiller1289 I mean, if you're bowing to your opponent while in striking distance, it makes some sense. Still, you're bowing to someone *in striking distance.*
@@starkiller1289 I don't know about other martial arts bows (there are more than a few variations, as well as other signs of respect,) but in Tae Kwon Do you actually are supposed to look straight ahead at who you are bowing to, typically while looking them in the eye. It's kind of a mutual agreement look, not a shifty eyed "Don't trust ya" look.
@@aurav4643 (RSlash intro) Welcome to R/MaliciousCompliance, where a small boxer beats a champion while asked to stand still. Our next story is from LittleMac.
@@ARandomSpace "For the context, I am a 107 lbs (around 50 kilograms boxer) fighting in a boxing tournament. I fought a soda drunk Russian man, a man who uses magic, a fuckboy and many fighters I was so good I ended up in the heavyweight, and got a fight against Mr Sandman, the World Circut champion. At one point during the fight, he told me "Stand still!" and so I did. I counterpunched the hell outta him, got some stars and TKO'd him. That's the story about how I became the world champion!" Wow OP, that was an amazing story! I don't want to meet you anytime on the ring
@@aurav4643 Over in the comments, Some Guy pointed out something: "Wait, what does "got some stars" mean? Is it like that game I played as a child called "Punch-Out"? Some sort of special move?"
If they make a new punchout game they should have the first opponent be some random guy and the final opponent to be some super strong buff guy with a mask, only to be a new and improved glass joe once he takes off the mask
The first guy should be look like Glass Joe, and it ends up being Don Flamenco on easy and normal, or MR SANDMAN ABOUT TO DESTROY YOU AS THE ACTUAL FINAL BOSS, ABOUT TO TAKE YOU DOWN ON THE DREAMLAND EXPRESS on Hard and “Just Retire” mode. “Just Retire” meaning there’s no point playing and you’ll lose, of course.
Glad I'm not the only one, this man has trauma in there somewhere 😩 But also he stepped into a boxing ring, presumably of his own volition and with expectations of what would happen in there, so...
I think his mom hit him when he was little hence mac punching him I. The face right when pops out from behind his glove instantly tkos him due to the trauma
Out of all of them I really want to know what Von Kaiser went through. Like, he was apparently a German soldier of some sort, and he actually has a better win loss ratio than Disco Kid, but he seems to have lost his groove despite actually seeming more serious a contender than anyone else in the first circuit
Mac: hello Mr. Sandman, i'll be your opponent for today Mr. Sandman: seriously? Mac: **kicks his ass without even moving** thank you for the match, that'll be one world championship title please
On god imagine being a world champion going to fight this guy way out of your weight class then next thing you know you have a severe concussion and you're no longer a champion
Imagine this: after glass joe wins he regains confidence and starts training harder and working on his fighting style he grinds and eventually becomes the world champion but with so many people challenging him he eventually evens his score out making his score 99-99
Never noticed how nice the Ref’s model is. Most realistic out of all of them I’d say, which I guess makes sense because he’s not one of the stereotypey fighters lmao
Great Tiger really needs to invest in some non fucking transparent magic clones, and yes I know you can't have everything when it comes to magic but come on man
I love how Disco Kid goes "here it comes" before certain punches lmao. He should've been laughed out of the ring, but it's a video game so I'm not complaining lol
Definitely one of the hardest challenges is letting Joe win. They knew they made a man of culture. Also, if anyone can kindly explain, how is it only Don that can get stuck in an endless jab?, hook? lock. Like error in the programming or just cause how skinny he is?
Imagine Glass Joe going to challange Mr. Sandman next, then he gets f**king bodied in one punch and in the hospital Mac: Y-you didn't actually go fi- Glass Joe: Yes, I did. Now shut up. Mac: Do you realize I le- Joe: Figured that out when I stepped into the ring.
My first time ever beating King Hippo I didn't know how to jab. I thought the intended way to beat him was to carefully chip away a small chunk of his health with regular attacks and make sure he never hits you so you can win by decision.
its both questionable how you didn't know how to jab even after King Hippo yet a DAMN LEGEND for getting through him through 50 losses AND winning by decision.
Before anyone thinks glass Joe is pitiful it was confirmed that glass Joe's first and only victory was against Nick Bruiser the final boss of Super Punch-Out
@@estlin2001 I like the idea of Sandman being so emotionally unprepared for a loss he just can't handle it, then you've got Glass Joe who doesn't have that kind of time, he's got to shape up and stand in that ring again
I love the Aran Ryan Fight, just a relentless attacker, gets punched but follows up immediately with a attack then also his other variation with the boxing glove rope weapon thing, I love it
12:00 As someone who doesn't own the game, you never realize how uncommon it is to see knock-down animations that stem from a hook. Makes me want to see all of them... *wink wink*
I like to imagine he did it specifically because, if I remember right Bear Hugger has a special property where body blows immediately end combos against him so the fight encourages you to focus on uppercuts, thus making it so you have to really try to knock him down with a hook.
0:10 - Glass Joe 4:45 - Von Kaiser 6:35 - Disco Kid 9:20 - King Hippo 10:35 - Piston Hondo 11:40 - Bear Hugger 13:05 - Great Tiger 18:20 - Don Flamenco 21:25 - Aran Ryan 22:55 - Soda Popinski 26:45 - Bald Bull 27:50 - Super Macho Man 29:55 - Mr Sandman
Gotta give credit where credit it's due, Glass Joe's persistent, i'll never understand how that crazy Frenchman hasn't given up yet, that's some determination right there.
@@IndianaBones027 In the original arcade game he was called 'Vodka Drunkinski' (they changed his name later for obvious reasons). That's probably a reference to that.
You know the developers are assholes when it's only possible to beat the game in a 100% by losing ONCE, that one loss being required to be against *Contender Glass Joe.* Also including the 3 losses from Mac's Last Stand (Thanks, HylianMaster2401). Shit like that makes completionists (and perfectionists) cringe.
Tbh I liked that one where you let glass joe win sometimes I just let him beat me on purpose and one time I got him to 50 wins and 100 loses just so his record wouldn’t be so bad
In Indian culture, the left hand is considered 'unclean' since it's used for things like going to the bathroom and washing, while the right hand is used for 'clean' things like shaking hands and eating. I guess it's meant to be more respectful since you're only using the clean hand.
And here i thought it was more of a pride blow, like not strong physically but major blow to one's pride that Glass joe of all people landed a punch on them.
