@@trollface6553 Why is Mr. Sandman harder than Mike Tyson?

@@AkaiAzul Is harder to beat him without damage, is not only by his hooks in the first 50 seconds in battle, is also by his Dreamland Express attack (the 3 uppercuts attack), because he will execute that attack in random time so I can't get it. About Mike Tyson, you must see when his uppercuts and hooks are executed by him, but it may get you tired.

@@trollface6553 Once you learn the rhythm of Mr. Sandman, it's really not that hard (in my opinion). Quick-dodge all of his starting attacks and punch him once in return each time. After that phase is over, do some jabs - high punches, he'll dodge every time and counter-attack. Dodge and hit him in the face, wait for a second, and then punch him in the stomach. It'll do MORE damage than punching him twice, you'll know you did it right because it makes a special noise different from normal. When you run out of hearts, wait patiently for him to throw a move, dodge it, punch him, and repeat the process all over again. I personally find it difficult to dodge his left-side punch (left as in, from OUR perspective, Mac's left, our left) because we've never seen it before on any other fighter. When he does his Dreamland Express, you can tell he is going to do it because he'll start blocking all of your punches rather than dodging. When he's about to do it, he'll completely stop moving for a second, which gives you enough time to notice and react to it - even to someone like me who thinks of himself as being slower than average.

@@ZoofyZoof But he sometimes doesn't stop moving and can do a Dreamland Express in a surprising way. That's why he is so hard.

Hi salt

So you're saying this TAS is a world record?

You make great videos Summoning Salt!

@@thoyo TASs don't get added to leaderboards (knowingly, some have tried to pass them off as real human runs).

and if anyone wonders HOW for the first one he hit start

OOOOHHHHHHH....

One more for anyone watching this now adays. If a fighter gets up on a 1 count then you can always star punch them right back down. But most boxers have requirements to get their 1 counts

I recall playing as a kid and lowering my health to half. Thought it was funny but kinda pissed too.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, if someone only slightly bigger than my foot knocked me on my ass I'd probably run too

What he punches...He destroys.

As he shall be a little machine he shall destroy big mountains. forward and onward shall he go. as downwards may his opponents go for no man shall stand the might that he’ll easily Punch-Out!!

He knows how to give a whoopin'

and how to take one too

*DREAMLAND!*

@@Fighterpilot555 The dreamland express in Wii actually gives you a clue it's coming. It's a TWO frame window in NES

Not just enemy attacks. They've also translated some obscure speedrun mechanics like delayed punches getting you stars. You can tell the people who made that game were huge fans of the original.

I'm 46 and beat this game when I was like 12 or 13, played it a few years ago and got to Tyson but didn't beat him

It's 39. I feel your pains. Use or lose it with this game. I honestly always feared Sandman more than Tyson. Just barely though.

I was born in 2000, and beat Tyson with the code in early 2016 on a CRT, then 14-0'd it 3 years later

You see, the REAL trick of beating the game is joining the Nintendo Fan Club today, Mac!

17, just like his age

I think he gets knocked out on purpose to speed up the gameplay. Also doesnt give multiple gut blows at first for faster action

He gets knocked out on purpose to save time.

the reason that mac gets knocked is because when you get knocked at 1:59 or later in makes sandman do his triple uppercut witch saves time

@@arinfishburn3513 *which

His eyebrows are pretty impressive, so I don't blame you.

to be fair though, Mr Sandman doesn't behave in a way that can make it easier to knock him down quickly. You can't even get stars in the first round.

Time doesn’t equate to difficulty. If that were true, glass Joe wouldn’t last 42 seconds

Mr. Sandman is harder than Mike Tyson and Super Macho Man

@@trollface6553 Not harder than Tyson; but definitely harder than macho man. Tyson could knock you down with one punch; and it was random when he punched. He made you anxious as hell

That's why Mr Sandman is the last fighter on contender and Title Defense on Wii version

They don't call him GLASS Joe for nothing

You ok Glass Joe?

Do you cha cha they call him glass joe because his weak point is his jaw, so he has a glass jaw

@@happycamperidfk1448 Glass Ass

kinda like that pay-per-view Mike Tyson fight that lasted all of 10 seconds

Lol I remember as a kid a few dads where big shots and paid for ppv fights and less than a minute poof what a great match and than the ppv splash screen

I'm thinking it triggers Sandman's uppercut sequence which he uses to knock him down much quicker than the normal 1-2 shots he gives when he throws the hooks.

Sandman does a Dreamland Express (that's his three quick uppercuts) immediately after knocking down Little Mac if it happens 1:59 or later into the first round. Successfully dodging a DE nets you around a free 20 punches on Sandman, so this is crucial to a round 1 TKO.

Rerecord count _unknown?!_ How is _that_ possible…? Did the data in the counter get corrupted? How is that not at least a yellow flag? Is this run console-verified? So many questions…!

@@JoLiKMC a run can have unknown number for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: hex editing (or changing a bunch of inputs at once), multiple savings of the file, stitching together separate runs (as in, taking all the ILs together), or an emulator not properly counting all of them (like what can happen with Hourglass, it something just doesn't increment the rerecord count when it should. As for console verification, that usually happens afte

I now feel educated on some of the more intricate bits of what goes into a long-term, ongoing tool-assisted superplay movie file. Thank you for taking the time to explain, Romaji!

Wut. matt turk?

STOLE MY BIKE

Thank you

I don't know about best. Great; absolutely. But TMNT; Ninja Gaiden, Contra? Those had some damn good soundtracks

This Tas guy is so good at games

Hex editing, probably. I don't know for sure, but I would check the author's comments link

Some of them are _TKOs,_ wherein opponents get knocked down three times in the same round, so the ref says "you're done." I'd like to see a run where every opponent gets knocked down and _doesn't_ get back up. But, that might be boring, depending on the game logic. I mean, this wasn't programmed like _Super Punch-Out!!_ where that's easy to do with practice.

I think certain opponents can't be KO'd, namely Great Tiger, and Mr. Sandman, that's just the ones I know off the top of my head.

That'll happen once King Hippo gets up on 9. 😝

You must've had the re-release then. Only the older copies of the game had Tyson, and as far as I know Mr dream is functionally identical (but nowhere near as cool).

I beat him in 1988. So I lived it. I was there. I know.

I remember that like it was yesterday. Sinister1's breakdown of the TAS that came out 7 years ago with McHazard's interview is classic.

@@KoachKrab127 Indeed! Also thank you so much for guiding me to beat Super Punch-Out!!!

Izaak - I’m glad it helped you!

Or Great Tigers teleporting.

Both Bald Bulls were improved. I noticed that.

Many of these strats rely on really really really good luck. For example, how much health refill an opponent gets when he gets up from a knockdown. Or, what kind of pattern he gives to you. Some opponents have 2 or 3 patterns they could throw at you. Some are more favorable than others. And Tyson delays his punches all the time in real life. McHazard manipulated the RNG so Tyson always throws his punches at the earliest possible times.

Every single one is humanly possible, but some of the fights have astronomically insane luck. The game is coded that if you throw a punch, and then quickly retap and hold the punch button as your first punch goes off, the second punch will also go off at the first moment possible (known as Buffering).

the knockdown was so that he would do a dreamland express. he does a dreamland express after you get up at around 2:00 into r1. this is the fastest way of dealing damage, so you get hit so that you get knocked down at exactly 1:59 so he does a dreamland express.

if you hold select before a fight starts, it lowers your health. don's lowest refill only happens if you do not have full hp, hence using it there. doing this on sandman will make it easier to get knocked down at 1:59.

He is the final boss in the original arcade version. Probably the reason he is so difficult to beat.

Zach Sybrant that’s what makes him a cool guy :D
