Knockout League - How to Beat Octopunch Flawlessly! - Grudge Tutorial

Disclaimer: Part of the satisfaction of these games is figuring out the puzzle elements on your own so I only recommend using this tutorial if you feel you are hopelessly stuck!
To fight our way out of the world-class circuit, we'll first have to go through Sir Octopunch! This has always been one of my favorite fights and it's definitely gotten a bit trickier in the grudge circuit. A lot of the crutches available in the regular match are taken away (patterns, predictability... sight) and demands on reaction time are greatly heightened. He's also got some new tricks up his sleeve that took me a bit to figure out. Definitely not an easy one! If any of you are stuck on this or the regular version, I hope you'll find what you need here to get over that speed bump!

7:33 Damn that synced up perfectly, it basically says sir octopunch realizes that YOU are the boss, not him.

[@catbert7]

He ain't wrong ;p

[@lunch_bucket]

2:03 That's not a blink,that's a wink!

[@catbert7]

Lol, you caught me! xD Ignorance exposed!

[@lunch_bucket]

And do you really need to taunt Octopunch? XD 2:44 Looking at his googly eyes 2:58 Fixing his bow tie 3:10 Fixing his mustache 3:23 Trying to take his hat

[@catbert7]

In a word... yes ;) P.S. Sorry for the late reply; KZbin thought you were spam! xD

[@awol_soldiervr1529]

You are a pro at this!

[@catbert7]

Thanks! xD I'm through with Maiden; just need to edit the video. We'll see how Showtime treats me. I'm excited to see that fight!

[@Amongus-iz7vi]

Thanks I got this game 3 days ago and I couldn’t beat him for the past day so thanks now It’s so easy to beat him knowing this info

[@catbert7]

You're very welcome! The best games are like that, IMO - hard as heck at first but entirely doable once you study and figure it out =)

[@DanielDiaz-uv7qb]

Thank you so much for the help! *En Garde, Sir Octopunch!*

[@catbert7]

No problem; glad it was useful =) Working your way through the grudge circuit?

[@DanielDiaz-uv7qb]

@@catbert7 I just got there. Unfortunately Tri-Tip beated me to a pulp. No worries though. As I said before, I just got there.

@@DanielDiaz-uv7qb I believe in you! xD

@@catbert7 Hehe. Thanks brotha! 😁👍

[@kevinmoment8461]

Thank you i thought i had to go perfectly between his gloves for the slam

[@catbert7]

Took me a long time to figure it out too!

2:13 me when I wake up in the morning

[@catbert7]

You sleep in a bowler hat? Weird.

[@k1ng-_-cash303]

🤣🤣

[@totallyluketehcheese3835]

U wake up as an octopus? Weird.

[@FirebirdVRGaming]

I like to think of it as duck to the opposite side as the mustache and the same side as the wink

[@warriorn1ghtmar375]

I just like the fact that you just toy with Sir Octopunch for the first few punches because you know you will send him back in sea after the fight

[@blackshadowplayz8069]

I FINALLY BEAT HIM OMG THANKS

[@catbert7]

Grats! xD

[@richardsinclair6012]

How just how you are a GOD

[@catbert7]

Hahaha, might be a *bit* of a stretch but I'll take it! xD I did have to spend 2-3 hours on each of these guys before I managed a flawless run, if that makes you feel better ; ) It's definitely not easy! Hope you're enjoying it as much as I did; definitely looking forward to the DLC!

[@monkeegurl76]

Try *stretch* this out

[@gold9697]

BLAST!

[@DiemetriX]

you are doing gods work. Thank you

[@catbert7]

Haha, thanks! Octopunch must have been giving you a real rough time if this counts as divine intervention! xD

[@DiemetriX]

I had a hard time figuring out how to dodge the 4 tentacle attack. I also had some problems with Barrage that another of your video helped me with. Tnx for taking the time to make these videos.

[@catbert7]

Yeah, the wiggling gloves are very subtle; much harder on grudge as well. Congrats on taking him down! I'm glad the videos helped and thank you for the kind words. Comments like these make the effort worthwhile :) Let us know how you fare with the rest of the circuit!

[@I_cant_do_math]

Octodad is now a boxer

[@catbert7]

I hope he didn't hone those skills at home =o

[@monkeegurl76]

8:01

[@logan.theriot5331]

Dude when he does the tentacles slamming down I had no clue how to dodge it and would die immediately

[@bettyloureid8258]

I thought the blink was the backhand now I know thanks then the slam was a uppercut to ruin it but it's the wiggle one

[@critterdrich]

Omg I have been getting so angry with his slam I thought it was a glitch I could not dodge

[@catbert7]

Yeah, it's pretty frustrating until you figure it out ;)

[@Saltyair04]

​@@catbert7I still can't dodge it good. It still hits me most of the time, how do u dodge it 100 percent of the time?

[@chill_shadowgreen9356]

Your good but you lied about the one where he raised all his arms it didint work

[@mracorn2669]

Whats maiden like how is she harder dose she take my gloves when she hits me this time lol that was when the game got hard on normal

[@catbert7]

She has a new charging attack and new ways of guarding herself, meaning you have to be even more careful about how you attack her.

[@mracorn2669]

Great like it wasnt hard enough aiming last time

[@catbert7]

Hehe, it's not too bad ;) I should have that vid out later today.

[@mracorn2669]

Yea I gotta see this your video helped me a little on octopunch I just gotta work harder on how I hit him but I wanna see her in advance so I can prepare

[@catbert7]

I'm glad it helped :) I doubt you'll have as much trouble with her as Octo; she's not nearly as tricksy :p

[@brandonspicer2482]

2:53 bowtie fix 😄. 4:48 Thanks, could figure out which way to lean.

[@areallygoodname466]

The slam attack makes no bloody sense I do that and he always hits me

[@catbert7]

Which one do you mean? Just dodging in the direction of the wavering tentacles or timing the feignts?

[@evanpettit8145]

This is not a grudge tutorial this is not the grudge match

[@catbert7]

Not sure why you say that but it definitely is, as evidenced by the fact that he is invisible and by his more complex movesets. Compare it to the match in my full playthrough to see for yourself.

[@evanpettit8145]

I'm sorry It just looked like it wasnt because most of the clips were of him not invisible sorry about that

[@evanpettit8145]

Also I'm going to watch the playthrough now seems like you give some good tips so I'm just going to go through it now thankyou for explaining it to me

[@catbert7]

@@evanpettit8145 Oh, right. I believe I did use none-grudge footage for the first part so that people could see his swings first.

[@catbert7]

@@evanpettit8145 No prob, glad it's helpful =)
