Punch-Out!! (Wii) - Blindfolded Full-Game Speedrun performed at SGDQ 2019 [

This might be my best speedrunning achievement to pull off at a live GDQ. This run has zero losses or restarts from start to finish, including the bonus Donkey Kong fight at the end. I not only defeated everyone first try, but I beat every opponent in ROUND 1 under marathon pressure!
In this run, I mentioned that this was a new PB (personal best) time for me, but this is a non competitive category since I picked it up primarily for my live run at SGDQ, so by a technicality it is also a world record. I just generally don't like advertising world records as such if categories have zero competition, but because I've gotten so many questions about it, I figured I should at least acknowledge it in my description.
This was timed with real time (RTA) during SGDQ, but since I never lost or restarted a fight, this can also technically be timed with the in-game time sum of all the fights in the game. This alternate timing method ends up being a 35:45.45 for in-game timing!
I was thinking of adding fight-by-fight comments, but I figured a better method would be to just add a commentated version later on down the road. I would do it sooner, but my voice is still kind of shot from SGDQ, haha.
Anyways, enjoy!

I'll be honest, this run inspired me to try it myself. I did manage to beat everything blindfolded, but it was far from speedrun-worthy. Hell, i had to look up this run to learn the strat used on TD Soda! Needless to say, it was one hell of an experience. Thanks for the inspiration Zallard!

[@Slightly_Decent]

I know this is over a year old, but don't downsize your achievement man. Completing this game blindfolded is certainly something I could never do and the same can be said for most of us. Congrats on that accomplishment man!

[@realausome]

Blindfolded punch out is by far the hardest challenge I've ever done in games. In my opinion it's harder than Mike Tyson in MTPO. I managed to get to TD Bear hugger with no losses but then it quickly fell apart. Beating anyone after TD Aran Ryan was a NIGHTMARE! The strats are so hard.

blind runs are so cool, being able to play with audio cues only is the mark of great game design.

I think something I don't see many people mentioning that's really awesome is zallard's commentary and confidence. He's been improving and now if you compare 2015's run to this run, you can see how much better He's gotten at commentary and how much more confidence he has. It's super sick and makes this run so much cooler

I'd like to point out the fact that Aran Ryan and Super Macho Man are 2 of the most liked characters in this game, and yet for both of their fights, the in-game audience boos them and *only* them.

I said it a few times in PJ's chat. You had the best run in all of SGDQ. It was no contest. It was funny to watch you struggle against Menu boss. It was hair raising to watch you near fall/round over. It was jaw dropping at how you lost yourself in the patterns then picked it back up by mistake most of the time. It was truly a spectacle. Good job, Zallard.

[@zallard1]

Thank you for the super kind words! Menu was legit scary, since I could always rematch people, but if I got too lost in the menus, I legitimately may have had to unblindfold to continue the run.

Someone should try a fan game, like where you are playing as sandman and have to fight all these fighters, with the boss being little mac and you have to defeat him. If you lose, then you must fight title defense versions of the previous, and if you win against little mac, somehow, you will have to fight big mac as the final after the title round, the mega buff version of little mac. After beating title defense you get a rematch with little mac and if you win that, then you beat the game. True ending is after beating big mac.
