[TAS] Punch-Out!! (Wii) - Full Game Speedrun [

-------------------------
Overview:
This is a tool assisted speedrun of Punch-Out!! for the Nintendo Wii (released 2009). The run is done in the Career mode, which sees Little Mac rise through the ranks in Contender, defend his champion status in Title Defence, and ending his career by taking 3 losses in the Mac's Last Stand gauntlet, all completed as fast as possible!
All of the fights put together total 19:40.81 in-game time. In real time (RTA), the time is 1:00:18.20.
(Note: This game is quite loud, and it was decided to use raw, unedited audio due to different audio setups. You may have to turn things down a smidge)
-------------------------
TASers Thoughts:
Awosomeandy ( / @awosomeandy ):
Just want to give a huge thanks to Mysteryman for offering any help in the first place, this TAS would not be here if it weren't for that. TASing this was way easier than Contender because I didn't have to think of a plan, I just had one to execute. Also was able to only have to TAS around three fights that I'd call super time consuming. (TD Macho, TD Bull, and TD Don). MM did the rest of the time consuming fights, so again huge thanks to him for taking on this project with me!
Mysteryman95 (Frame By Frame Animation - / mysteryman9512 ):
This is a project I thought I wouldn't see completed for another decade, so I have to commend Awosomeandy for stepping up and taking on a lot of the TAS work himself. My involvement wouldn't be possible without zallard1 and all of Pottoww's early runs, as well as McHazard for helping me out with strats in my early days of this game, so I have to thank them too. I hope you're able to enjoy this project as much as I did helping out with it!

What I love about Punch-Out!! TASes are how they're pretty similar to the actual speedrun. Normally I love watching a TAS completely break the game, but it's almost more impressive that the speedrunners can keep up with a lot of the TAS stats in this game

[@certifiedfridge]

Fr I noticed that too

[@crabulonbestgirl9130]

Tas either goes apeshit with a 20 minute improvement over real runs like in Celeste or its tame and pretty similar to normal runs

[@AndrewBlechinger]

This sort of thing is actually fairly easy to do in Punch Out games because the series lets you input a move while you're doing something else and it will start as soon as that other move ends. This buffering is used quite a lot in RTA. The role of TAS is more to make sure the AI and RNG cooperate to allow for the optimal strategies.

In the context of the game's world: An underage boxer from Bronx, New York, USA steps into the ring, tears up the 3 leagues full of fighters many times his size and height TWICE, including Philadelphia's finest, the giant of a man named Mr Sandman, surrenders the belt, and just leaves and is forever remembered as Little Mac, Terror of All Boxers. When his name is spoken, all boxers in a 1.5 mile radius flee in terror. Sandman's very blood even boils if he hears "Little Mac" ever since the day he lost that rematch. From the context of our world: FbFA does a TAS of Punch-Out Wii and uploads it to KZbin. The contrast a little perspective offers, eh?

I'm wondering if people noticed but....he didn't defeat Donkey Kong. *yes yes, I know but still, he counts as a fighter too*

[@Awosomeandy]

if you can beat the game without fighting him, we're gonna lmao, it's faster.

[@EL3M3N]

@@Awosomeandy just saying lol

[@the_bookworm8281]

I checked the pastebin on the strategies for these fights. The explanation for the restart on CD Soda, TD Kaiser, and both CD & TD Bull was in order to get rid of the "Power On glitch". I looked everywhere, but I cannot find what this glitch is and what it does. Can someone enlighten me on what that is?

[@jacobyoshi3161]

Those fights have their first move come out 1 frame later than normal if it is the first time they are fought after loading the game. Restarting removes this feature. And also, all of the fighters affected by this feature are also affected by when the intro is skipped.

[@intelligent1964]

@@jacobyoshi3161 wouldnt that waste time? A restart is slower than a frame

[@jacobyoshi3161]

It is going for in game time rather than real time.

[@megadrax0838]

I Didn’t Restart For TD Kaiser But I Did Restart For TD Great Tiger And I Knew Great Tiger’s Instant Knock Out Trick But I Did It But I’m Stuck On TD Soda Popinski

I Finally Beaten TD Popinski I’m Now Stuck On TD Bald Bull

[@jeang6588]

So I was reading the Pastebin document because I was curious as to why TAS restarted on Contender Soda, however there is no mention as to what exactly the "power on glitch" is. Anyone know?

[@Awosomeandy]

When it's your first time playing Contender Soda, Contender Bull, Title Defense von Kaiser, or Title Defense Bull, for whatever reason the game has their first attack come out a frame later or (0.06 seconds). It is unknown why this happens. Because I value game time above all else, I take an extra 5 or so seconds to save this frame.

So if I remember right, winning last stand gives access to DK? That would mean DK% racks up 30 KOs! EDIT: Oh I’m wrong Last stand goes until you can go no more. Which means by selecting Last stand, you’re choosing to end the journey. Wow Anyway what’s the deal with DK then...?

[@fusionwing4208]

Im pretty sure DK just has a random chance to appear in place of one of the other fighters

Wii U still has it digitally for $20, if you don’t like spending money but somehow have a computer with decent specs, download a rom and dolphin and play it that way for free Granted if you have a controller laying around

[@julymorris6367]

Keep looking! I found it for $30 at my local game store and its great fun.

[@the_zgamer4599]

It's sad that Nintendo wants nothing to do with Little Mac anymore. They have pretty much left him to die with what was good games and a giant puddle of shame in games like Super Punch Out, Smash Bros, and other games that reference him like that island of lost games where he gets fat and you need to get him into shape whatever that games called. But my point is that even though many people love and enjoy him, many others have either never played his games or have forgot him. But, like most people here that like Punch Out will still love the game. I just wish my Wii and Wii U didn't break. Now I am disconnected from the game for the rest of my life, or until I can get a Wii for a decent price which will probably never happen unless Nintendo does that same thing they did with the NES, SNES, N64, and Game Cube and put a bunch of games into the console. Anyway I have hope that Punch Out returns again one last time on the switch or on something because I love the game a lot, but I just don 't see it happening. Hope y'all have a nice day.

[@PugsAreCool262]

So happy that Von Kaiser came out on top in the end.

[@tranqle73]

Soda Popinski and Von Kaiser would go down in history as the ones who managed to knock down the monster known as Little Mac, before Mac clearly gave up on boxing. Dedicated Von Kaiser fans insist that his win against Mac was totally legitimate, and that it was what convinced Mac to give up, rather than him deciding beforehand. Fans of Don Flamenco and Mr. Sandman likewise agree that their boxers displayed a superior will to Little Mac, who to them was too shaken by loss to make a comeback, unlike their favorites who maintained determination and eventually won out in the end for it. In response to these victories, the rankings were redone with Mr. Sandman reclaiming his spot at the top, on account of an actual win and the battle that ended Mac’s career, as well as his previous placement as #1 prior to Little Mac taking the spot. He was followed by Von Kaiser, and then Don Flamenco and Soda Popinski. Soda fans maintain their favorite was cheated, that Little Mac clearly threw his third fight with Don Flamenco, but Don Flamenco’s fans point out they don’t know for sure, and a win is a win, unlike Soda Popinski. When asked on his opinion on the debate, Soda declined to answer. In the end, his ranking remained unchanged from prior to Little Mac’s reign of terror, despite his effort and stardom as the first one who stood a fighting chance against Mac, adding to his fans’ chagrin. Nonetheless, the match in which Little Mac was revealed to not be invincible remains memorable to this day, despite Soda’s eventual loss. As they say, if you can make God bleed... That said, the lack of an actual win, as well as Soda’s disappointing follow-up match, remain additional sore spots, and lead others to claim Soda merely got ‘lucky’. Two knockouts suggest otherwise for some, and others wonder if Mac intentionally allowed his knockouts from Soda and Von Kaiser simply to play around, before throwing his final matches.

dude got the wr like dude your beating each fight including td as fast as i can blink

POV: you ask your older sibling to help you in punch out

[@loganharris7801]

I’m a bit confused about Soda popinski. Why did you let yourself get hit? How does it speed up the fight?

[@nehuensio]

that is done so you don't lose time by dodging the rage uppercuts

[@furryfloofer8742]

Punch out wii seems like a really good and interesting game to speedrun, no luck based stuff outside last stand, and it really tests your skill at the game with frame perfect inputs, and complex patterns/pattern manipulation all over the place. Imagine a flyweight 17 year old boxer taking down boxers, and TKOing them far faster than Mr. Sandman ever could, all because little mac has absurd reaction time, and knows how to properly exploit the weaknesses an opponent has to instantly down them.

[@worldsboss]

Very entertaining TAS!

[@jotaro_kujo944]

In the game soda popinski is 6'6"tall witch means he's the tallest boxer in the wii punch out game
