An Entire Video About Don Flamenco from Punch-Out!!

7:06 don flamenco pov: MY HEART I LOVED HER

[@Palestinian_Weeb_Punchout]

Gacha life isekai ahh

[@Dnedri]

As much as like Hondo in this game, Don is just transisted way too well from his last debut. Yet the Next level games added enough extra to get you caring for this guy & the events he's participating. Precioso.

[@Fobb]

He has so much personality in this game!

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@Fobb StrawHatNo pointed out that he looks like Nicholas Cage. Also, 1:31: The woman in the Super Macho Man example (who is clearly visually different from Carmen, based on the hairstyle), I’m guessing you’re saying Carmen and Don handled his loss a lot better than Macho’s.

[@harubutjojo]

Each fighter in this game is packed with personality, but Flamenco has to be my favourite of the bunch.

[@Fobb]

He's definitely one of the standouts, which is really saying something with a cast like Punch-Out's!

[@lastchanc3stars]

[@spawn1265]

​@@Gacha_Copperuno dos tres cuatro. Super Macho Man. Both attacks collide. I still look better than you, Carmen is mine.

[@ultralance]

I've always loved the stereotypes in Punch-Out - there's something about the way they handle it where it all feels so light-hearted and not in the slightest hateful. It's just fun and celebrating how different our cultures are. Okay maybe Vodka Drunkenski is a little bit on the nose, but still.

[@Fobb]

That aspect of the game definitely shone in Punch-Out Wii, I think a big part of it is the use of native speakers for each character

[@ultralance]

@@Fobb Absolutely, that and the remix of the classic Punch-Out theme everyone got in a musical style tied to their respective homelands are the best two new ideas in regards to highlighting cultural backgrounds of each fighter.

[@JoseJimenez-vc7we]

On nose is crazy 👀

[@Creative_StudioMic]

I just LOVE "Vodka Drunkenski", that's god damn funny as a nickname. Something you'd probably hear from another boxer (I can vividly picture Aran losing sense of self preservation and teasing Soda with "Vodka Drunkenski", just to immediately be bashed in the wall with an uppercut).

[@naki051]

1:40 I just noticed Carmen wore the rose Don gave to her 💀

[@Fobb]

That's a cool bit of continuity I didn't even notice until now lmao

[@-SeaSnake-]

Salt over the motherfuckin' wound- Huh-? 💀

[@fancypantsism]

Fun fact about don flamencos rose rush/flurry you can just duck under it so him switching up the direction doesn’t matter

[@Fobb]

True, although if memory serves it doesn't give you a star for ducking

[@k96man]

​@@Fobb I think he follows up with the quick uppercut instead

[@phantomy2034]

​@@FobbI noticed that first-timers opt to duck rather than dodge, but if you duck, he immediately follows up the Rose Flurry with an uppercut. Thanks to this ducking thing, first timers have thought that he outright lied, doing four hits instead of three, when in actuality, the uppercut is NOT part of the flurry.

[@TurnerFun]

I call it uno dos thres ko

[@seadragon4425]

i just love don flamenco and his fighting style, not only does he look kinda hot (i'm sorry, but it's fucking true) but the way he fights is just so unique compared to the others.

[@THEGASTLYAPPEARSInsertspookymu]

I like to imagine that his Carmen never knew about the wig, which is why the MACHO was able to steal him

[@Fobb]

This is a very plausible theory 😂

[@jossguerrero277]

1:25 the "Carmen mi amor" part come form the opera with the same name, is a reference to the "toreador song"

[@Maxi-Gonz.]

Which is the same theme as Don's intro!

[@antibiotics514]

I wonder if don flamenco is rivals with bald bull do to the whole bull fighter vs bull thing

[@Fobb]

I'd love to see them go head to head in the ring at some point, that'd be a sight to behold!

[@dam99]

Really fun character, but I still feel more engaged by von kaiser's story

[@Fobb]

True - I feel like Von Kaiser's story has a lot of hidden complexity, whereas Don Flamenco's is a bit more straightforward.

[@PhinnaeusOrAlisa]

@@Fobb don flamenco ok

[@faereman]

Both games are from Next Level Games, so it makes even more sense :p

[@Maxi-Gonz.]

Both Punch-Out Wii and Mario Strikers Charged have the same three composers!

[@dirtydan316]

I always read Doc's toupee line as him joking with Mac that he suspects Don's bald. Maybe because Doc knows Don is super vain, he's trying to find some flaw in his perfect appearance so Mac can expose it to enrage him... It's kinda funny, when you put it like that it feels like Mac and Doc are now the ones using cheap tricks because their opponent outsmarted them; when normally it's the roles are swapped with it usually being the opponent who's trying to find some underhanded tactic to use against Mac.

[@Fobb]

I like that interpretation! The idea of a role reversal is definitely in line with Don Flamenco's fighting style being similar to how you normally take down most of the other opponents.

[@MatthaeusGT]

Yoooo more punch out. I firmly believe Don Flamenco lost his gf because his receding hairline was revealed, and no one can convince me otherwise

[@Fobb]

Your theory may just be correct, poor dude

[@westube3493]

It is possible to defeat him in both contender and title defense without knocking his toupee off

[@belosneshkaaaa]

i dont think that was carmen who was with super macho man, that part was speculation but i rather have it the wholesome way where carmen is just with don

[@Fobb]

I hope you're right, that scene made me feel really bad for poor Don

[@belosneshkaaaa]

@@Fobb THEYRE STILL TOGETHER IN OUR HEARTS

Actually "Carmen mi amor" , "Uuuuy mi Carmen" & "Por Carmen" is a referenece to Bizet's Carmen. An opera from 1875 that takes place in Seville, Spain. The piece that sounds during Flamenco's intro is The overture: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp7Yd4KrnZiEftUsi=7mf3PObaW0-uuBFP

[@kai_3788]

Ngl, I don’t think the girl with Super Macho Man is Carmen, especially since SMM is constantly seen around many different types of women. Both their hairs are blonde but they’re different shades of blonde, I think the one with SMM is a different girl. But Carmen probably still left Don after his loss.

[@Fobb]

There's a resemblance, but yeah, it could definitely be a completely different woman

[@ls190v2]

The Matador Master himself. The man is so enjoyably confident, and he's built too! I think he looks fine without the toupee, on top of that.

[@Fobb]

Honestly yeah, he can kinda rock the toupee-less look!

[@the_Wally_man]

Don Flamenco has such a cartoon spanish movie voice, it kinda reminds me of Tadeo Jones (spanish 3d animated film)

[@SlimbyTheSillyGoose]

flamenco has always been my favourite character.

[@Fobb]

¡Olé!

[@Antifrost]

Those two women do look similar, but I'm assuming they're different people. The eyes and hair are ever so slightly different enough for me to firmly state such and then assuredly denounce anyone who says otherwise :p Still, Don Flamenco is another great character in a cast of great characters. Much like with Von Kaiser, he doesn't need any new tricks or schemes to get his revenge on Mac - he just needs to work harder. Unlike Kaiser who needed to remember his former glory, Don instead sets the theatrics aside and puts even more effort into his training. He was skilled before, but it wasn't enough for Mac so he puts in the work and stays true to his fighting style. It amplifies his strengths, but his weaknesses (the infinite and losing his toupee) still persist. This was another great video from you, it's always a good time when the love that this game got gets more attention.

[@Fobb]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the support! It's very possible that they are completely different women hahaha, but the resemblance is there The Kaiser and Flamenco TD fights are both masterfully done, they both improved a ton over their original matches through grit and determination alone 💪

[@TomoG4ch4_Alan94]

10:15 I have always wondered if he ate the thorns on the rose. If there are any thorns on roses. 😅 It looks like he cuts the thorns off with his teeth.

[@Fobb]

Ouch, seems painful!

[@bokbliner]

8:50 fun fact: if you duck all of his rose flurry punches instead of dodging to the the sides don will end the rush i with one more "Torro" uppercut and only let you hit him 3 times instead of 5 and not give you a star.

[@-SeaSnake-]

Note: Remember the E in "Toreador" is pronounced as the E in "Desk", not as an I All vowels keep always the exact same sound in Spanish (and mosta the alphabet)

[@-SeaSnake-]

8:58 Pronounced "Thinco", remember we have rules to lisp in our pronunciation over here in Spain 🇪🇸

[@Fobb]

I appreciate all the pointers! As someone who has very little experience with the language, it's nice to have this advice from a native speaker!

[@-SeaSnake-]

​​​@@Fobb By the way, all vowels in Spanish have a single sound each which never changes, so the E in "Toreador" is pronounced like the Es in "Excellent" aswell, I understand it coul've been a slip tho, and there's no N in "hecho". Glada help 👍
