I'm usually not a fan of GDQ videos, but this video is excellent. No forced humor, no cringey donation reads, just an incredibly techinical run performed by the best, and explained by those who know what they're talking about. Very fun watch.

[@bwp7420]

I couldn't agree more 💯

[@B3nCastle]

I agree, but I personally like when GDQ is corny, I just dislike edgelord bad sense of humour.

[@flyingfish1138]

I never even knew about super punch out that much until I got an SNES classic and it came bundled on it. Fell in love with it immediately, and only played that game until I beat it. Spent various nights up to beat it quickly, and now I absolutely love watching speedruns on both this and Punch Out for Wii

The announcer: Masked Muscle is another boxer you cannot KO. Hootey: I'm so far behind, I'll do it anyway to take the lead!

24:55 Seeing this made me feel really happy inside. This isn't just respect and good sportsmanship. These men are true friends with nothing but raw ludus and/or even straight up philia (yes, I looked up the many Greek words for love just to make a point) towards one another.

[@donovanphillips6278]

Kepabra dizzying gabby jay is actually really easy. All you really have to do is punch him when the guard is low with the right jab repeatedly. And upper cut him when you can (upward super punch).

[@sgtcreasegrease]

Blind dude here. When you look at punchout as a patterns and timing based game rather than a boxing game, you kinda go from there. Never finished this game completely tho, only got to the last circuit, and NES punchout, forget about it. Lol... Ended up doing music, producing and DJing before I could figure out how to beat those games.

I recall it said that in the manual. One of the punches is quicker but less strong

Zallard's side looks like the game came from the snes while Hootie's side looks like it came from the Sega Genesis.

[@ToaderTheToad]

According to a Pastebin he posted, Zallard uses a later 1CHIP SNES--which generally has higher quality video compared to the "2CHIP" consoles, but incorrect colors--with a mod to fix the overblown colors. I'm assuming Hootey is using a 1CHIP without the color fix

Great Fight for you and hootey

[@andres.rivera.1821]

Zallard kinda jumped the gun when they started

[@dementare]

They couldn't hear and I think they practiced for a "3... 2... 1..." but the speaker started at 5 but the "touching" guy already had his hand on the shoulder.... it was a tiny cluster fuck of execution. And I'm sure neither runner would have fought over it if it was that close. With as much "timing" as speedrunners do, they know the real race begins once you hit the first button... doesn't matter when your opponent did, it's when *YOU* did. So had that second difference, I'm sure they would have both agreed that whoever *actually* had the wining time would be the winner. But in the meantime just amazed that in such a game with such rng while playing blind, that it was so close. I don't really see that much "smack talk" amongst speedrunners. They all seem to just admire the skills each one has, and "hey if your times match mine then hello brother" kind of thing. I mean yeah, there are of course assholes in all groups, but it's not like in boxing/mma where the crowd *expects* you two to hate each other kind of thing.

[@Notere]

Sinister: *keeps calling Nick Bruiser's big move a headbutt* 21:25 Leaping superman punch.

[@roshaunkerdzaliev505]

I've seen a bunch of these SPO speed runs and one thing I've seen that the runner always does is pause the Gabby Jay fight. What is the reason for doing this?

[@nintendoraptor1969]

when counter punching, the KO meter fills quite a bit, but it takes a moment. while paused, the KO meter still fills from the counter punch, while if you had not paused, jay would throw another punch before your KO meter filled.

[@rowdow9191]

Can you please do a tutorial for how to speedrun SPO. I want to do it but don’t know how to start

I definitely want to work on a tutorial eventually, I just keep getting caught up in stuff, and it gets kind of hard to set aside the time needed to do a tutorial that's at the quality I'd want it to be at.
