Let's punch stereotypes in the FACE! - Super Punch-Out!!

[@IHaveAlreadyWon]

I love how for most of the video it's basically, "This guy used to give me a lot of trouble, so I might los- Never mind, he's dead." Seriously, you kicked the snot out them. Except for Pai Mei / Master Roshi at the end there.

[@DatDemo]

Should've called yourself Lil Mat

[@GenericSoda]

"Spit in his eyes!" is shorthand between my brother and I for encouraging each other in a hopeless situation, Super Punch Out is good memories for both of us.

[@Pilzkun]

Do it McMuscles, get back in the ring!

[@AverageDrafter]

I'm shocked this game hasn't been rom-hacked into oblivion yet. I can't imagine the scripting or AI is all that complicated compared to other games - its just one giant enemy one screen. Its a perfect platform for showcasing good character design - even Smash is dominated more by the action and the level itself. Most of the time in Punch-Out is spent watching a giant sprite of a cool looking character and waiting for it to do something. A Super Punch-Out Maker would basically be Deviant Art: The Game, and that is both fascinating and horrifying to think about. (Edit - The more I think about this, the more I want. Just a simple photo head swap alone would be amazing meme material.)

[@dripp_dropp]

im surprised there hasnt been much digging into this game in general. They just discovered a fucking 2 player mode recently. Thats INSANE

[@disposableincome]

You can't dodge most of Quarlow's attacks, you have to block. For example, block high when he lifts his cane up. Trust me he's very doable once you get used to blocking and countering. Imo Hoy was the toughest fight to learn as a kid because of how different he is.

[@JPH1138]

I was surprised at first that he hadn't beaten him, then I thought it does kind of make sense given that he doesn't like to block. I feel like Quarlow is just about the only fighter you can't simply alternate between ducking dodging and blocking to avoid attacks, but you need to make the specific response to each attack. Then it's also the same for hitting him - you need to really watch his guard and tells to know when it's safe to punch him.

[@lazybacon7520]

"SummoningSalt is not gonna make any videos about me and my Super Punch-Out career." Same.

[@pokehybridtrainer]

Still entertaining.

[@Reoko77]

*Stubbs the hell out of toe* *𝒜𝒽𝑜𝓌...!*

[@shinmenmagnum]

I may be biased but Punch-Out is real good.

[@TotPocket]

Sorry about your HUMILIATING loss to me, Mr. Dream. Please don't hunt me down... 😰😰😰

[@buckyjr710]

Love Super Punch Out. 25 years later; never noticed the corner told Bob Charlie to “shuck and jive”.

[@ogredanhibiki]

Bull charge is an uppercut (I guess a hopping uppercut in the earlier games vs a running uppercut in Punch-Out Wii). The Rapid Punches have their uses, sometimes opponents will leave their guard open and get extra hits after their stun is over, but some block immediately. If you doubt Super Macho Man's age, remember that Ric Flair always looked old even during the 80s (who SMM is based on). What in the world was that normal looking punch from Narcis Prince that took half of your health? I've never seen him do that much damage in a single hit before.

[@indeimaus]

this mans a god at this

[@undeadtacocody9987]

He makes it look so easy. I could barely get past the third fight.

[@meganpayette5996]

You know if Narcis Prince doesn't want anyone to punch him in the face, why doesn't he, oh I don't know wear a mask? I mean it worked for Vega from Street Fighter. (Sort of...)

[@averagefez]

Your Punch-Out retrospective is still one of my favorite videos.

[@Jazz_Jackhammer]

I don’t know if you’ll ever get to see this Matt, but I wanted to personally thank you for introducing me to this awesome game. Thanks to this video I started playing this game and have now beaten it. So thanks for that. Keep up the great work and stay well during these tough times.

[@Red-in4fx]

Loved the ippo reference!

[@exogender7687]

When you first started fighting that last dude I didn't remember him *at all*, but then he did the stick thing and it jogged my memory. DXD

[@jmn327]

My decrepit 35 year old carcass is sitting here almost screaming "STOP LEANING TO THE SIDE THAT HOY QUARLOW IS SWINGING FROM, MATT! LEAN THE *OTHER* WAY!", because by God I want to see Matt struggle against Rick and Nick Bruiser.

[@KennyFrierson]

This MattyFat boxer is a legend in the making

[@thomasderosso5625]

I once--ONCE--managed to get to the second Bruiser twin. He DELETED me.

[@TyX25]

Ironically it was Rick Bruiser that gave me more trouble the Nick

[@TotPocket]

@@TyX25 TRUUUUTH

[@solblackguy]

Hoy Quarlow was such a huge skill check for me back in the day. After practicing my ass off, I managed to get him by the literally skin of my ass. Rick/Nick Bruiser were pretty anti-climatic afterwards.

[@Solongsocialmedia]

Hoy Quarlow should be the final boss. Totally Nintendon't's fault on that one.

[@joelfromcalifornia]

LOL "And V1 goes down!" I love the @OSWReview shoutout.

[@MrDrokkul]

"Pizza Cake!"

[@shipwreckedonapopulatedisland]

Gabby Jay, YAY!!

[@TheCartoonGamer8000]

20:10 I think that may have been Charles Martinet. He apparently did all the voices in the game.

[@Gadlight]

Go into the mountains and train fighting bears and get back into this!

[@Mythoriir]

lmao the anime cuts are amazing

[@pleeber7312]

This game is one of my earliest SNES memories, one of my favorites to this day.

[@mammon8683]

I'm surprised Mad Clown didn't make it too the cut let alone Dragon Chan for future sequels. If they still very decided to make a Switch version of Punch Out at least have some of the underrated boxers to come back.

[@Dragon_Screamer]

Little tidbit, ALL the voices are provided by Charles Martinet.

[@RavenclawNimbus]

I’m so glad to know this because I always thought Gabby Jay’s “yaey” sounded like Luigi

[@bradleyinstance9005]

If you enjoy playing it Matt, I’d happily watch more. Your content is always top tier.

[@AnthrKira]

This video really brings me nostalgia, when i played it as a kid, i always got stuck on some of the boxers until i figured out how. First with Bear hugger , then Dragon chan and even Masked muscle. All boxers have some way to beat them and dodge their attacks, also, blocking is important on some boxers like Quarlow. i have to say, i really liked the Hajime no Ippo moments on the video.

[@91drumfreak]

22:02 Who let this ancient being enter the tournament!? Like, what's up with that?

[@morganrobinson8042]

Seeing him fight, I can't imagine anyone stopping him.

[@waluigiwah5724]

You can hit bear hugger in the body when he taunts u hit him in his belly and he will go into a stun!

[@eeeeewewew]

More of this sir

[@BigK13372]

5:45 Wow. You timed that shit just right.

[@birboii]

Round 2! Let's go!

[@RowdyRego]

Bear Hugger is said to be from Salmon Arm Canada in Punch Out Wii. I felt what an odd reference to be in a Nintendo game. I grew up in Salmon Arm.

[@shipwreckedonapopulatedisland]

Man the two brothers are hard AF

[@levimiller5007]

The Bruiser Bros aren't that difficult in terms of attack patterns, but they can do big damage right away if you're not careful. Hoy Quarlow is probably the most technically challenging, with his tight defense and numerous attacks (most of which are with a stick). Not only that, he recovers from knockdowns very well in spite of being the smallest/oldest opponent in the game.

[@everetth-top4760]

Did I just hear an OSW review Easter egg at 13:48? A can of Coke to you, Matt.

[@Jack_Garland78]

This is like the Dark Souls of boxing games.

[@shackilleuhdeal7462]

This game is easy compared to Tyson and the two Arcade versions.

[@TheDJMeyer85]

A bar where I live has an SNES set up and I currently hold the Gabby Jay record with 7.79 seconds. Proudest moment of my life followed by teaching my kid to read

[@PurpleTurtle-t4q]

Matt, please play Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, I fucking loved that game as a kid and replayed all the time, from what I recall you can only finish it once and then delete the save file to replay it, at least on PS1, which I did it all the time because I had so much fun with that game

[@evilintent]

You got to play that again!

[@Ruiner667]

Nice to see another Hajime No Ippo fan, LOVE that anime easily my #1

[@PaladinArchives]

*raises hands to the air* Don’t give up!

[@MattWright13]

I remember reading about this game in a GameInformer magazine and always wanting to play it but never finding it in stores

[@Dead7Zaku]

This was awesome to watch!

[@GentlemanOrcus1]

"Okay, fat"

[@ZekeGraal]

Hey that was Derek, that's him, Derek!

[@ChocolateVGZ]

Damn, Matt, I underestimated you. You kick ass at this. Which sucks for you cause kicks are illegal... Isn't that right, Mr. Chan?

[@bobcatbix]

My older bro would play this for hours on my snes.

[@rivo9980]

This game brings so many memories =')

[@phillyredsox]

That's Middle Mac.

[@samfivedot]

Today I learned that Matt is surprisingly good at Punch Out

[@desdichado-007]

Another word for stereotypes is "pattern recognition."

[@maxyliano]

THAT is also my limit! I never even wanted to see a guide or something, I just felt bad for not realizing how to beat him... maybe I should try again

[@xTyrantLaharlx]

This was a fun episode. :V I wanna see Matt try again and fulfill his childhood dream of beating the final 3 boxers.

[@jorban11]

12:49 I just spit out my drink 🤣

[@jmarx3943]

I forget the timing of it, but when Quarlow backs off and tries to hit you with his cane, you can one hit knock down him like bald bull.

[@asuma1fan]

The Bruiser brothers are gonna scare you, if you can make it to them.

[@dotmurda]

Lmfao I wanted to see you fight the bruiser bro's 🙈🙈🙈

[@saraa538]

I really wish there was a female mode or version :( this was one of my favorite games to play with my siblings ^_^

[@Jackelbeaver]

yeah it'd be cool to see the final boxers for sure!

[@jasonz7788]

Great work Sir thank you

[@SuperShotgun300]

Nice, Matt! Have you thought about playing one of the Hajime No Ippo games?

[@phillyredsox]

They need to do a Punch-Out compilation.

[@TheRealNexusPlayzz]

When bear hugger points at u hit his stomach

[@joshuajames1246]

Fight on! Keep fighting

Get back in there and beat that cheapshot artist! Huge pop for the Kona Crush reference, brah!

[@XxWehleyxX]

Hey Matt! I love your content. I have a suggestion for a future video. Quantum Theory for the Xbox 360. It was an over the top Gears of War clone. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it and get some laughs out of it. Keep up the good work!

[@chrizzty55]

I started to sweat watching that sandman fight

[@Ut00bsux0rz]

is there a full version of your intro song and where can i get it

Have you tried standing there while your opponent gets exhausted from over punching?

[@bobbusc]

I'd watch you do this again just to see you fight Rick and Nick some day.

[@ElHermanosBro]

The OSW Review references though

I remember the TKO; I don't remember why the fuck I do, but I do.

[@Boonehams]

Super Macho Man has *silver hair* and wrinkles and is supposed to be 28 years old. That is the crockest bunch of shit I've seen in a character bio EVER. He's mid-40s if he's a day.

[@RavenclawNimbus]

Some of the ages in the punch out games are absolutely ridiculous

[@Mclucasrv]

I like stereotypes fighting games should do more.

[@16ktsgamma]

We got Gabby Jay. "I feel so bad for him"

[@RavenclawNimbus]

Apparently canonically the only win Gabby Jay ever got was against Glass Joe But also I believe Glass Joe canonically beat Nick Bruiser so maybe Glass Joe is secretly amazing

Marc Mero reference in punch out lol
