Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! Tutorial for Speedrunning - Bald Bull 1

[@RagnarokB]

Man... This fight actually isn't nearly as rough as I was anticipating, just a lot of factors to learn how to deal with. The execution has been easy enough to get down though. (Btw, this is RagnarokB from Twitch chat this weekend. Yeah, I know, I'm only on Bull,. I've been learning slowly LOL)

[@mr.flex3019]

I really love your explanation for these speed run tutorials. Starting to learn the game whit your tutorials are these the lates starts ?? And I only miss a few like the mike Tyson one 😅

[@RagnarokB]

Also interesting to note that in phase 2, if you don't get the lucky star and have to do 3 guard manipulated jabs in a row, the second jab seems like it has a random chance to get a star. I haven't seen it happen often while practicing, but a couple of times I was able to get my third star one jab early.

[@Ouijawii]

yeah that's correct. the first and third face punches are 50% to get a star, while the 2nd and 4th punches will guarantee a star. I'm glad you're progressing so quickly. I'll have to get off my butt and do the last 4 fights soon!

[@RagnarokB]

Man, the 3rd face punch almost felt more like a 25% chance at best to me, hahaha! Glad to know I wasn't just imagining things though. And many thanks man! Funny enough, I've hit my next temporary stopping point (only because I haven't had much time with the fight), and it's Bald Bull, again! LOL Bull 2 doesn't actually seem so bad, I can get the later delayed gut punches no problem, I'm just having trouble consistently getting the first two. Just need to find the rhythm and build that muscle memory! Which isn't too big of a problem for me, coming from the fighting game community afterall. :P

Wow this ramped up from the previous fights lol... Feel like it'll be easier on practice tho

Somehow I can't seem to get the 0:17 1st KD - if I throw the final punch immediately he blocks it, but if I delay to start the rolling animation we're at 0:18. What do you do to make that shot land without delay?

[@Ouijawii]

The last punch needs to be thrown with a small delay, you can't just throw it right away. It may look like it is being thrown immediately but you have to wait for Bull to lower his guard before you throw it or he will block it. Also if you wait too long to throw it he will block it. I'm not sure what the frame window is for it to land but it's kind of tight. With some practice you should be able to get a feel for it.

On p2 I didn't get double rjs or lucky star

[@michaelfowler5760]

Buffer?

[@cravenmoordik]

Does anybody still watch these tutorials? I cannot for the life of me get the timing down on the non buffered punches. My hits only seem to land at random. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I'm not seeing as to when I should be pressing this hit? I'm letting go of the D Pad and he's not even dropping his guard. Somebody help.

[@Ouijawii]

Is it the punch for the first knockdown you are having an issue with?

[@cravenmoordik]

@@Ouijawii Mainly that one, since I can't seem to get throught consistently. I'm maybe 30% on hitting it right. But the 2nd one after the next buffered punch I'm also getting blocked. Should I be holding up a bit longer before I let go of the D Pad?

[@Ouijawii]

@@cravenmoordik My guess is that you are holding up for too long on the punch before he blocks you. Try to let go of the button and dpad before the punch animation goes out, and if the punch still goes off, then you did it correctly and should be able to land the last punch more often.

[@cravenmoordik]

@@Ouijawii Sort of like throwing a dizzy destroyer. I seem to be having more success with this now. Thank you so much. You tutorials really have been great. I'm only now finally getting decent at this game with your help

[@jordanjones5751]

I just kind of wonder is there a buffer you can use to stop the Bull Charge?

[@Snow-Stuffz]

idk

[@eplabrador5024]

i don't think so, but there is a guy in the audience who flashes his camera right before you can hit him in the gut if that helps you time it

[@wontontavious]

I don't know if I'm getting Bald Bull 1 and Bald Bull 2 confused, but I believe there is a random delay that Bull can do before he charges, so I believe it would be too unpredictable to do so, although you could just look at the crowd and look for the guy flashing his camera, then throw your punch.

[@yellowdicesam]

@@wontontavious this delay applies to both bulls, so you’re correct either way lol
