this game managed to REALLY capture the concept of "sit tf down" better than any of the other punch outs. every hit both taken and delivered felt so powerful, not to mention you COULD get kos like this. granted not this fast, but these were all strats that could be utilized casually, it was all just down to technial execution.

[@alecrutz956]

I like it cause it feels closer to boxing than the more puzzle based Mike Tyson's and the wii game. It makes you feel a lot more powerful than those games do, while still technically going up against more experienced and powerful foes. The game can still whoop your ass if you're not careful, but if you know what you're doing, you can absolutely destroy the opponents.

[@Chris-jl6vp]

I definitely wish the enemy boxers would get up with more HP though. Bit too easy to keep smacking them down after the first down.

Many don't know; but the hardest one to get a 10 count on is Narcis Prince. He's the most random opponent in this game.

[@TheRoboKitty]

Ironically that matches a rule in real boxing that Punch Out usually skips over: the mandatory 8 count. In real boxing, the referee will always count to 8 even if the boxer stands up before that. This is normally to prevent the boxers from jumping the gun and beating each other up while the ref is still counting, but it also comes into play when boxers like Bob Charlie who can wobble forward a few steps but obviously can't fight from getting themselves killed

The reason is to time the punch until the final frame of the stun, if you do so then the end of stun delay doesnt happen. it only saves a few frames but it is faster. It also fills the super meter more than normal so you dont need to waste 2 punches. Hope this helped

That'll shave a decent amount off your time. I did it manually so I'm sure with TAS it'll be easy.

[@AndrewBlechinger]

Yeah, but does he get up with more health? The first phase can be done this way every time, but what he does when he gets up after that is random. You want the short heal, the long heal is tolerable in RTA, and kicks is just a run ender.

[@Odious_One]

@@AndrewBlechinger he does get up with more health but the behavior chan exhibits isn't random when he gets up after this specific knock down. I am curious though is there a point to the timed energy regen inputs during the knock down? I hadn't considered that as a factor. Of course I test manually not TAS so there are significant differences between us in that regard.

[@Odious_One]

@@AndrewBlechinger After testing this combination, there are times when he gets up and tries the triple kick instead of regenerating. If you input certain dodges while he's on his way to the center of the ring you can force him to regen instead of kick though. The TAS is doing what it's supposed to, I am thinking outside the box-ing ring, lol. 7:58 is the best I've been able to do manually though.

@@Odious_One That's actually good to know. I always thought it was entirely random which mode he chooses to go into.

[@Odious_One]

@@XenoGuru I've noticed that if you hold up as he's coming to the center it'll almost always cause him to regen. If he starts to kick you can jab to get him to dodge then he'll regen. Btw, nice profile pic, ID is a badass.

[@cabbusses]

Yay!

[@TruthTF]

I'm just thinking about how angry I'd be watching his fights on pay per view back in the day. All that money for 10 sec fights!

[@frenchfrey65]

I don't understand why not even the TAS can't get Bear Hugger under 10 seconds, I can understand the Champs like Mr. Sandman, but NOT BEAR HUGGER! THE 2ND BOXER YOU FACE! He's the only non champ boxer that you can't beat under 10 seconds!? Makes no sense!

[@XenoGuru]

It takes twelve shots; including two power punches, to get him into the "daze" animation. And he doesn't attack quickly enough. The time just adds up.

[@ronjonald660]

The Rick bruiser fight was a bit slower than the human record

[@DJIncendration]

Actually, no, unless you're referring to the European or Japanese versions of the game.

Wondering if the pauses were used for RNG manipulation or just for easier input of a frame perfect trick

[@XenoGuru]

I'll try to explain this as best I can: The pauses in the game allow the "special punch" guage to fully fill before continuing the fight. We take gabby jay for example: If you caught him with the stunning jab; but didn't pause, the guage wouldn't have enough time to fill before gabby comes out of the "stun animation", allowing him to block or dodge the power punch. When the blow lands; the pause is used because it stops the frames; but the guage continues to fill, which makes sure he won't have any time to respond to the power shot

[@GuanlongX]

@@XenoGuru I think you explained this very well.

[@miggle2784]

Neither of those would be needed; this is a TAS, so they have total control over both of those.

[@Rocket1377]

There is no such thing as randomness in this game. It works like a puzzle game, the fighters behave the same every time, and the solution to getting a perfect victory never changes.

[@XenoGuru]

@Rocket1377 That is where you're incorrect. Bob Charlie, Masked Muscle, Dragon Chan, Super Macho Man, and Narcis Prince have many random properties to them. They will not behave the same way every time you face them. There are some characters that are fixed on a pattern; but the ones I mentioned are not.
