[@AkaiAzul]

@@trollface6553 Why is Mr. Sandman harder than Mike Tyson?

[@trollface6553]

@@AkaiAzul Is harder to beat him without damage, is not only by his hooks in the first 50 seconds in battle, is also by his Dreamland Express attack (the 3 uppercuts attack), because he will execute that attack in random time so I can't get it. About Mike Tyson, you must see when his uppercuts and hooks are executed by him, but it may get you tired.

[@ZoofyZoof]

@@trollface6553 Once you learn the rhythm of Mr. Sandman, it's really not that hard (in my opinion). Quick-dodge all of his starting attacks and punch him once in return each time. After that phase is over, do some jabs - high punches, he'll dodge every time and counter-attack. Dodge and hit him in the face, wait for a second, and then punch him in the stomach. It'll do MORE damage than punching him twice, you'll know you did it right because it makes a special noise different from normal. When you run out of hearts, wait patiently for him to throw a move, dodge it, punch him, and repeat the process all over again. I personally find it difficult to dodge his left-side punch (left as in, from OUR perspective, Mac's left, our left) because we've never seen it before on any other fighter. When he does his Dreamland Express, you can tell he is going to do it because he'll start blocking all of your punches rather than dodging. When he's about to do it, he'll completely stop moving for a second, which gives you enough time to notice and react to it - even to someone like me who thinks of himself as being slower than average.

[@trollface6553]

@@ZoofyZoof But he sometimes doesn't stop moving and can do a Dreamland Express in a surprising way. That's why he is so hard.

[@SummoningSalt]

Would like to clarify that this run is timed in real time, as opposed to speedrunners who use in-game time. Converted to in-game time, this run comes out to 12:55.12, while the current world record is 14:55.00.

[@PhiAce_0]

FAQ: Q: Why did Little Mac’s health drop to half before Don Flamenco II/Mr Sandman? A: This is to get certain punches out of the fighters which will allow the TAS to knock them down faster Q: Why is the rerecord count “Unknown”? A: Hex editing iirc Q: Is that Mario as a referee? A: Yes Q: Why do you let Mr Sandman knock you down? A: This is to trigger a Dreamline Express, 3 extremely quick uppercuts which reward a ton of counterpunches to knock Mr Sandman down faster. This Dreamline Express is also the reason that the TAS used select before the fight to lower it’s health to half, it took much less time to get knocked down by Sandman that way.

[@JoLiKMC]

I kinda wanna see an all-KO run of this game, now. It probably wouldn't be _fast,_ but it might be _interesting!_

[@JoLiKMC]

Some of them are _TKOs,_ wherein opponents get knocked down three times in the same round, so the ref says "you're done." I'd like to see a run where every opponent gets knocked down and _doesn't_ get back up. But, that might be boring, depending on the game logic. I mean, this wasn't programmed like _Super Punch-Out!!_ where that's easy to do with practice.

[@StormDragonZ]

Rerecord count: Unknown. That's a rarity. Also, getting knocked down by Sandman is faster? Explanation, please!

[@Stonebrek]

I'm thinking it triggers Sandman's uppercut sequence which he uses to knock him down much quicker than the normal 1-2 shots he gives when he throws the hooks.

[@letcreate123]

Sandman does a Dreamland Express (that's his three quick uppercuts) immediately after knocking down Little Mac if it happens 1:59 or later into the first round. Successfully dodging a DE nets you around a free 20 punches on Sandman, so this is crucial to a round 1 TKO.

[@JoLiKMC]

Rerecord count _unknown?!_ How is _that_ possible…? Did the data in the counter get corrupted? How is that not at least a yellow flag? Is this run console-verified? So many questions…!

[@romajimamulo]

@@JoLiKMC a run can have unknown number for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: hex editing (or changing a bunch of inputs at once), multiple savings of the file, stitching together separate runs (as in, taking all the ILs together), or an emulator not properly counting all of them (like what can happen with Hourglass, it something just doesn't increment the rerecord count when it should.
