Dave's drunken destiny demanded Don done despite dastardly, dire, dangerous distances doing detrimental dents.

[@ForumArcade]

The way that the designers made each of these fights so fundamentally similar (in that they all use effectively the same mechanics), but different enough that you can make a whole deep-dive video into each one is just ridiculous. If this game had only been about pure skill, it's very likely someone would have perfected it by now. But it's the need for skill, luck, dedication, and ingenuity in just the right balances that has given it so much life and excitement even today.

I'm picking up a copy of Mike Tyson's punch out today, I am going to start speedrunning attempts of the game, I am ready for the RNG hell of don 2

[@Tophatjones358]

Are hard copies of MT punch out expensive? Or would you play on emulator ?

[@notatimelord21]

@@Tophatjones358 they are about 40 usd for a lose copy so not that bad and it's best to play on original hardware with a CRT to reduce input latency since a lot of frame perfect punches are required

I'm hoping that someday, Don2manippo will be realized. It would truly be the greatest moment in the history of the game.

[@jedoesstuff9086]

i bet there is one, but i doubt it could be used in ss runs, just IL

If they did that, I can't imagine the suffering of those who put in so many thousands of hours into fighting Don for good luck...

[@benro6564]

I could never do this. The thought of getting insane luck and then choking is too much for me lol

[@chalir4886]

I can’t comprehend the sheer patience either. Game is a lot of fun but most of these WR requires so much bs in your favor that just adds extra pressure in execution of tight frame windows.

[@RagdollFanANoahMouseyProductio]

Don Flamenco in the rematch can't be beaten by KO until his fifth knockdown, just like Soda Popinski.

[@user-xo2iw6lz2n]

Pap blessing us with that early HoWeVeR just 17 seconds into the video. Truly, a generous man. Gave me chills down my spine.

[@nudgetted2005]

A Pap's video today? Dinner is gonna be lit!

[@ninjascout]

for normal players: don 2 is probably the biggest difficulty change in terms of making the game easier (basically he's the easiest dude in the world circuit, well... if piston honda 2 didn't have the one shot ko) but for speedrunners: he is the mr sandman/mike tyson of the run for having the game become harder in difficulty

[@fakeletobr730]

Don day? nah, its now officially Don Dave's day (obviously not official but still is kinda cool to say it, the grind of a single person pushing the limits of a single battle)

[@yawg691]

Thumbnail is magnificent

[@ShinyMew76]

Very random, but if you really think about it, The New York Yankees logo on Matt Turk’s hat looks like it spells out “MT”, as the Y intersects with the N, making the N look like an M, and the Y can be interpreted as a T. So his hat isn’t a New York Yankees hat, it’s a Matt Turk hat. Very random, but interesting if you think about it.

[@GloryToComradeForster]

Who do you think is/was the best the best MTPO player ever?

[@Papamanual]

Id have to say the best MTPO player is Summoning Salt, his overall consistency is just better than everyone elses - although the gap between him and other top players is slowly closing.

[@ShinyMew76]

@@Papamanual. In my opinion it’s between Salt and Matt Turk

[@Papamanual]

@@ShinyMew76 I understand your view, but I like to differentiate between "Greatest" and "Best" Turk certainly pushed the pace very early on, far exceeding his contemporaries, making him exceptionally "Great". But on a fight like Mike Tyson, where there has been basically no new strategy development since 2002/2003. Salt, and a few other players exceed Turk in consistency, making them "Better" imo.

[@toon10001two]

I love the idea of someone being so drunk they flub the world record. Anyway, least favcourite fight in the game. I hate Don 2, he's just not very interesting and really luck based. I know if I was on WR pace i'd choke on him, or choke him

[@alansmithee183]

Tetris what?

[@jedoesstuff9086]

A vid idea for you: lowest time that can be guarenteed for an ss run

[@Papamanual]

I honestly have no idea how to work out a lowest guaranteed time since there are too many random events... I could do something similar, If a player is expecting the worst possible luck and they get it, what time would they get - So that'd be a worst luck with perfect play run.

[@jedoesstuff9086]

@@Papamanual well for a start I think that assuming that each fight can be beaten in 9 minutes elapsed, and then subtracting out the guaranteed timesaves from there. as for the more random fights (like sodas hooks or flamencos stars), what makes sense to me is considering it like a bell curve: it is unlikely that you would get the worst luck and unlikely that you would get the best (like flipping 1000 coins and having the total amount of heads be 520 or 485)

[@thismanisrich]

what is the most luck-based game to speedrun?

[@TheSilly6403]

Punch out is up there for sure, I feel like for total optimization though it would have to be procedurally generated games like minecraft or terraria

[@Krakorin]

Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories could be one candidate. A few important cards that you could get are have a really low percentage for winning it.

[@cyanideytandcuriousseadogg4160]

Just an idea for the speed running community. Enlist the help of a ROM hacker to make a hack for each fight that makes the Score show what increment your at for the milliseconds for the final time
