Super Punch-Out!! was released for the SNES in the United States on February 28, 1994. As a new contender, you slug your way through the grueling and sweat-pounding matches of the Minor, Major, and World Circuits. Dodge bone-bruising punches and dance to the top of the supreme Special Circuit. Face off against old favorites including Bald Bull, Mr. Sandman, and Super Macho Man, plus a cast of new and weird challengers. Pound your opponent's face into the mat and win the title of Nintendo's Video Boxing Association Heavyweight Champion! Source: speeddemosarchive.com/SuperPun...
At this past Awesome Games Done Quick, $1,025,000 was raised for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. It only took a week of continuous streaming, 18,000 donors, and many many runners to achieve. A big thanks to everyone responsible for these amazing numbers, what a humbling achievement. For comparison, last year's event raised just under $500,000.

[@tommyettinger8094]

It's not mma though and they refer to it is the Irish squeeze which is why you lose health it's still technically illegal

[@MUMUMUMUist]

Since he was blindfolded it means they let a BLIND 180 lbs fighter in.

[@Ithro-Ithrozovich]

And that was the day when Zallard1 became a living god amongst speedrunners.

True that

[@michaelyanus4134]

When a room full of speed runners and blindfold gamers start treating this guy like an actual boxing champ, that's how you know he's special. The ice water that must be in this guy's veins... My hands get shakey trying not to spill while pouring coffee

[@TheSuperSNES]

I have no words for this. He beat the whole fucking game. Blindfolded. I am honored to have been able to watch this live.

[@jollthebro]

Its incredible what some people can do with memorization and practice

[@BrokenWings8613]

It is weird that 2 and a half years later I still feel like cheering when he beat it?

It's bad enough getting destroyed online in a game you feel you dominate in. This guy just destroys my records on a single player game blind folded.

[@orangejoe2147]

Yo guess what? They did it!

[@itsybutsy]

Good news, bucko

[@crtg4672]

I love how everyone in the back was invested in those fights. It was like watching a real boxing fight crowd. I was disappointed a donation total wasn't given for this run because he deserved high amounts for this one.

[@MemoryTAS]

The amount of donations during each run are determined long after the marathon ends due to donations processing after the run is over, etc. I think you can maybe find something on the SDA forums.

[@BigBangBlitz]

I was just going to type in 100 exclamation marks but it would be counted by KZbin as spam.

[@RandoChrisYT]

Holy mother of God. I can only imagine the hours put in to memorize all the patterns, now all the sounds and right buttons to press and when to do it. Even when things were a bit rough, he kept his cool. 100/10 would watch again

[@keffypoo]

I applauded IRL.

[@Breakdown776]

I had a front row seat for this (just off camera to the left) and was half of the "raise zallard's arms in victory" crew at the end. It was an honor and a privilege to be there for it. Ranks among my personal best and favorite GDQ moments. Amazing stuff.

[@etapliveson]

It seems a bit obvious to say since events like this would be where they all congregate, but after watching these marathons for a few years, I love being able to look through the audience and point out the faces of several other runners and speedrun community members as well. It gives the marathons an atmosphere that feels like much more than just "a crowd", but rather the community that they're all proud to say they're members of.

[@Flooberoid]

"I accidentally did a frame perfect counter..."

[@strayster2]

This is the absolute coolest. I don't if the GDQ crew has ever been this loud during a run. So much excitement.

[@bobtehguy2989]

Actually, they have in the mike tyson blindfolded run.

[@strayster2]

I'll check that out!

[@corgiidev]

Laughing at people in comments calling this run easy. Sure, it may be a bit easier than MTPO, but SERIOUSLY, THIS GAME IS FUCKING HARD WITH YOUR EYES OPEN. Zallard is a fucking god for beating it blindfolded, and if its so easy why doesn't someone else do it? I rest my case.

[@NathanWubs]

People, you mean one person. MTPO is indeed a bit harder, but not by as much as the person that was being trolley said. Speed running any game blind folded and completing it is a feat in itself. I do not know off any game that is still easy if you are playing it with a blindfold.

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

This game is a breeze with your eyes open. I tried it blindfolded just for fun once, with no practice at all I made it to Bald Bull, which I know big deal. But non blindfolded I can beat the whole game without hardly even taking a hit. Then again I've been playing it for like 20 years. Lol

[@BlastoBlues]

Zallard came out strong. There were many rough patches, but somewhere in the Rick Bruiser, he achieved perfect Punch-Out Zen. "Hey, uh, I accidentally got a frame perfect counter..."

[@ferrugemj18]

This run, Sinister1's blindfolded run and the Super Metroid race make this the best GDQ so far.

[@ShimmeringSpectrum]

This was possibly the most amazing run of the marathon.

[@BenyoBoy]

I remember watching this live and it was literally an experience I'll never forget. This dude played it so well, freakin' BLINDFOLDED... Just wow. During his run, my palm started sweating, shaking my leg constantly and I don't remember blinking at all. When he completed it, I almost cried at the end during his speech, it was so touching. To the next AGDQ, I'll take some days as holdaiys from my work to watch every run.

[@FunkyHonkyCDXX]

I've watched this several times, and I still can't believe this is real. This is the most amazing video game feat I have ever seen. Yes, man, this is real.

[@frozenaorta]

People calling this game easy and saying they could do this. No. No, you can't. This game isn't as hard as the original MTPO, but characters like Hoy Quarlow will make normal gamers want to rip their hair out. And blindfolded? I can't even take a piss blindfolded. So damn impressive.

[@psymar]

"I can't even take a piss blindfolded." assigned male at birth much? :P

[@antoinemayrand7348]

@@psymar, what does even "assigned male at birth much?" mean?

[@Wienerdog5]

I know this comment is 4 years old but i actually find this game to be harder than the original. Maybe its because ive put 80 hours into that game. Not very much though and my super punch out time is far worse.

[@frozenaorta]

@@antoinemayrand7348 I dunno. What does it mean? Or is this just some stupid Gen Z shit? The experts at being offended by everything?

Him guessing the time it takes to beat someone in the minor circuit is still one of the best things about the entire run. "That should be a 7.49"

[@silverflight01]

Zallard played SPO for so long that he knew

[@AAABattery24]

Sinister1 reaches the special boss Mike Tyson after conquering the world circuit... Blindfolded. (Punch Out!!) Zallard1 beats Nick Bruiser the final boss of Super Punch Out and with no damage taken. Damn.

[@colgatetoofpaste]

And blindfolded as well

[@vegita1998]

I saw this live and this was my personal highlight of AGDQ. When that last punch hit, I stood up and sent my laptop flying. Also check out CGN's run of F-zero GX. My jaw was on the ground for most of that too.

[@Leafia_Barrett]

"I want to go fast."

[@coomer6084]

Was your laptop okay?

[@dimitreze]

I love this game. I discovered this game on emulators, mid 2000's and I was hooked! This blindfolded speed run was awesome!

[@ootfan7882]

I started playing this game in the mid 2010s, also on emulators, and have completed it dozens of times.

[@playmorenatsu5891]

Probably one of the best speedruns i've ever seen.

[@Nokande]

"I accidentally hit a frame-perfect counter." Suuure it was a mistake you beast.

[@pavfeira]

I've probably watched this run 10 times at this point. You can just see all this hard work and training paying off. The humility of saying for the last 20 minutes of the run that "this next fight might kill the run". And just the swell of emotion on Zallard's face and in his voice as it becomes more and more clear that _this is actually happening._ I get choked up every time at the celebration at the end. It's a terrific, emotional run.

[@TheDragonflyzero]

no other speed run can ever beat this, this is the best run in the universe period
