[@kinglebron1235]

Lore for the different opponents: Javi Rico: A pro boxer who had his eyes dead set on beating Ray ever since he climbed his way up to the top. However, he’s nothing short of a delinquent who enjoys hurting people way too much. Back Breaker: A colossal cyborg fighter equipped with various implants designed to end a fight as quickly as possible. When things go south, he taps into his built-in generator to increase his size and striking power. Millennium Cobra: A master martial artist of dubious origins who currently resides in an underground brawling ring. Be careful around this guy, because he’s gonna hit you with his boots instead of his hands. Glam Witch: Real name Yuhaehan Sagikkun (유해한 사기꾼), Glam Witch is a domineering vixen with powerful magical abilities; she’s known to use her magic as an unfair advantage for herself, which is why no one managed to beat her. Lord Worw: A stereotypical shadowy demon villain in the 60’s era of cartoons, Worw resides in his domain where he rules over his evil minions. Brandishing his trusty dagger, he contorts his body into zany shapes and sizes to knock his opponents silly. Mr. Pega: The interdimensional ruler of space and time, Mr. Pega has watched Ray’s progress and decided to impede him purely for the fun of it. His childish and bratty attitude, coupled with his shapeshifting and dimensional powers, makes him a force to be reckoned with. Evil Rico: Driven insane over his loss against Ray, Javi has sought out countless methods to try and improve his fighting abilities and beat him once and for all. Now an alien-like super humanoid, he can now increase his muscle mass and employs quick-striking combos to put Ray on his ass. Master Xiglaz: Not much is known about this monster of a man, but one thing is clear: Xiglaz has never been beaten and he never will. He pays no mind to his deteriorating body, as his tyrannical delusions of ultimate power push him forward to continue the last decades of his rule.

[@LegoMoviesSuck]

Which is why Lord Worw and Mr. Pega are my FAVOURITES!! 🤩

[@DeiviStrife]

Evil Rico was way harder for me than the final boss, the mf has counter if you hit too much my god.

[@robertwildschwein7207]

Master Xiglasz just felt poorly designed and unfun. He is not difficult, he just hits waaay too hard and forever to defeat. Some of his attacks are cryptic and difficult to avoid. Best way to defeat him in my opinion is just to save up power attacks and use them to intercept his special attacks.

[@Paur]

Yea, Evil Rico is a bit of a pain in the ass. After the second knockdown the fucker basically puts you in a blender, throwing out almost random combos. The two uppercuts feel almost unfair.

[@robertwildschwein7207]

@@Paur The combos actually aren't "random" at all. He will always use the same combos. You need to memorize them. The two uppercuts really caught me offguard on my first few attempts, but it's pretty easy to memorize that every time he throws a right uppercut, you need to dodge to the left and then quickly to the right. But yeah, some of his attacks hit super hard and takes ridiculously long to KD, so that's pretty bullshit.

What if instead of the final boss, they have Evil Rico turn _into_ Zilgax? It'd explain why he didn't explode and why this thing doesn't attack as often, because Rico's lost his humanity in becoming stronger. And now he's still clinging to life just so he can finally beat Ray.

[@TheLaurelCrown]

It feels like they wanted to make a more violent, edgier version of Punch-Out but without understanding what made the series work. All the matches bar Glam Witch feels less like an exercise in pattern memorization and strategy and more reliant on luck and full-on aggression. Plus the art direction looks... directionless. We went from a guy coming from Hell on Earth webcomic to generic "muscled cyborg-guy", a Juri-like magician dominatrix, a traditional animated villain who's just a black shape with a face, hands and knife to a typical small but powerful lord of space and time. It felt like "first drafts" of archetypes rather actual opponents to beat. ...and no, giving a "Big number - 0 - 0" in the W/L/D ratio does not make them menacing. It makes the presentation really goofy. Unless we talk about Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream, Mr. Sandman or Nick Bruiser, most boxers in PO have losses because it gives you the appeal that you're facing actual people that can be beat... not rejected comic villains.

[@myifanw]

What... Are you talking about? This game is all pattern recognition. The numbers are inflated because these arent boxing champions, these are galactic boxing champions who usually die when they lose, as we clearly see. Why dont you explain what makes punch out special then?

[@isaiahhellems7901]

The only thing I would do is probably tighten up some of the gameplay systems in this and I think it'd be fine and maybe actually hire some real voice acting because I'm kind of not feeling the AI generated voice that comes from that coach of yours

[@elnovillomapuchedehomerus2412]

This was made by an indie argentinian company not a AAA U.S company

[@isaiahhellems7901]

@@elnovillomapuchedehomerus2412 I realize that. But earlier this year there was an indie game made by a team in Brazil that is a really amazing fighting game called Pocket Bravery that was made by a really small Brazilian team of dedicated fighting game fans but that has good voice acting that isn't AI generated. You don't have to be a AAA gaming company to have good voice acting or quality voice samples. And I've seen games that were sold for a dollar that had better voice acting than mess that had a team of less than five people. All I'm saying is I like this game but it would be nice if the voice for the coach didn't sound like it was literally AI generated and some of the systems had a bit of tightening up with a bit better since of understanding of what some attacks were going to do and what direction they were coming in which is just a patch they could do later. Nothing about what I requested is above what that team I believe is capable of because what else I've seen has been really good.

[@baalfgames5318]

While it's nice that these guys at least stuck to humanoid antagonists, it still kinda just has me begging for a full-anthro Boxing game. I don't think we have one. The closest I can think of is Telerobo and Animal Boxing, and in BOTH cases, only the antagonists are anthro. The MC is a robot human/straight-up human respectively.

[@robertwildschwein7207]

Someone must make an actual animal Boxing game where you play as a dog wearing torn boxing gloves. But no anthro Furry shit, but a real, anatomically correct dog. Your uppercuts are replaced with left and right bite while your jabs are replaced with scratches and you have to beat various other animals in the ring like boars, lions, tigers, rhinos, hippos and elephants.

[@robertwildschwein7207]

Save up your power attack on round 2. Use them to intercept his third round special attack. In the third round, immediately high block after ducking his backhand attack. His second round special is better avoided by high blocking than by dodging to the right. He seemingly always does his attacks in the same order if that helps. No Idea how to dodge the ligtning yet.

Evil Rico was the moment I realized this game is not punch out and never will be unless they fix and change some things. There's no stun states, no counter punches, enemies should not have fucking hyper armor when you attack them with a perfect counter, and the fact that there's no stun state but Rico can just immediately block after you've dodged 5 FUCKING SWINGS is garbage. They need to fix this shit before I call it a punch out clone, otherwise it's just some cheesy ass arcade game.

[@shaggy791]

Exactly!!! I blew through the other fighters without too much challenge, and then when I got up to Evil Rico, it’s like they ramped up the difficulty by 100%. And I’m playing on Rookie, since it is a challenging game on any other difficulty setting.

[@JaysTavern]

The no counter thing was the most frustrating thing for me, it was hard to turn off that Punch-Out natural reaction to counter a lot of their moves and it took me forever to get it thru my head that you can't do that. You can use special to interrupt, but then you lose those fast as hell punches.

[@robertwildschwein7207]

I mean, of course it's not Punch Out. It's Thunder Ray. My gripe with this game is the fact that many attacks are cryptic on how you can avoid them. Like Glam Witch does a whole screen explosion and Worw does a whole screen bite attack (both can be avoided by high block, but it took me quite a while to figure this out). And I have yet to figure out Back Breakers Special Power attack. Also the fact that you have to dodge INTO Ricos uppercuts to avoid them is really strange. Pegas Dimension trail 2nd hit looks like it must be low blocked, but must actually be dodged to the right.
