You can barely make it out looking at the top half. If it does cut it all the way, take a pic of him down with the clock in it.

mbd39 | 2,147 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Other than second round TKO of Tyson, I think my crowning achievement is first round TKO of Don 2 in 2:28. I would've saved about another another minute had I not fucked up on Honda.

mbd39 | 2,147 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Having to do all these in a row rather than individually makes this a tough contest. No way am I trying again. Super Punch-Out you can keep doing each one individually.

It's been a while for me too. Tyson is such a test of reflexes. I'm not sure how much of a fraction of a second you have to react to his uppercuts but it's brief enough that any extra lag makes it impossible. And yeah, Super Punch-Out is great. I enjoy it at least as much as MTPO. I also like how Super Punch-Out requires a a lot more different inputs. Whereas in MTPO you usually only have to dodge left and punch, or block, at least when playing casually.
