God the writing in this video was bad
how though
How though
Well it looks like it doesn't matter how, because it looks like Designing For agrees.
it was informative, to the point, had good pacing, and the nice quick breaks between info dumps for a little joke or something were nice, but its written poorly? alright dude lol your profile picture is a reddit meme that isnt even cropped properly so i already know to give up early before you start throwin useless exposition
Lol pinned and hearted
Von Kaiser kinda boxes like a boxing coach sparing with a student, he's not doing anything fancy, just two basic attacks you have to watch out for.
Actually that would make sense, he was a boxing coach
Yeah in punch out wii there's a cutscene were you see von kaiser getting Pummeled by children.
By that I mean he is getting beat up by his students and he gets upset to the point were he just went to boxing.
That's probably all he knows anyway even if he was a boxing teacher in the military
He is my favorite besides smm
“He’s a joke, who couldn’t beat this guy?”
That the exact same thing my dad said when I told him someone out there hadn’t beaten glass joe. Then I told him it was Mike Tyson.
The shock on his face.
What did his face look like then
@@pikalambe8959 it looked like glass joes after you punch him
I remember hearing that in the video and nearly dying of laughter
He beaten glass joe
Sure Tyson said that, but was it true? It may have been, or it could have been a quick response to try and get get the paparazzi to back off.
This man made the easiest bosses sound like the hardest bosses
I mean canonically the guy did ko the nick bruser from super punch out almost after his "prime" so him basically being a small weak but intimidating foe for starter is a good idea
@@olivia892 i thought Nick just didnt attend so they decided to give Joe the win
i thought it was a pity win Nick Bruiser didn't wanna put him in the hospital
I found out that it was a freak accident. Although ITS still unknown what it is
Yeah he did but why are these reply's nothing related to the comment Lime Juice made
Punch-Out fans explaining why Glass Joe has the most character development:
In all seriousness, Glass Joe is the best character in gaming. In Punch Out Wii, glass Joe makes it to title defense implying that he beat Von Kaiser, Disco kid, and King hippo and was probably about to be minor league champion
@@fireprober8945 Wouldn't that mean he'd have more than one win in title defense?
@@fireprober8945 no, the title defense means little Mac defending his title, not the other characters defending their title.
@@Acrillomancer good point
Hey, don't insult the man who beat Nick Bruiser
Mike Tyson’s punch out is literally one of the most impressive games ever made because it still looks good, plays good, and has such impressive power for its time
Honestly the main reason I clicked on this video is that the thumbnail artist is a friend of mine and her art immediatly caught my attention. Glad I stayed though, got some really interesting and awesome stuff here.
Alter always makes really fantastic stuff, I was ecstatic she agreed to accept my commission request; just so good at bringing out expressions. Thanks for sticking around though, glad you enjoyed!
@Surreal Cereal Sorry about any confusion! I do the voiceover, about half of the writing, and audio editing for all of these, while my friend (who responds using the D4 account) does the video editing and other half of the writing. So that we're not some amorphous blob of responses, I just respond using my personal account that I've synced to be an admin for the main D4 account.
So yes, I am Designing Forman. Fear me.

Yeah
@@Shade400 a better out style? sounds fun to fight! we already have flamenco but this would be way more fun!
Also he's 200 years old and imortal.

The Glass Joe fight probably makes no sense to Tyson since he can punch a car in half in real life.
can you link me to that? i want to see it

Okay but why is there so much fan art of glass joe
I would say it's syndrome of first level. The most iconic thing about a game is usually the first level.
And people like underdogs.
he is fun to draw :D
Plus Next Level push the stereotype of Glass Joe deeper and that give more personnality.
Cuz ppl feel bad for Glass Joe getting bopped
Learning that Mike Tyson can't even beat Glass Joe made my day 🤣
Better yet he got his ass whooped
*By himself* 🤔
The picture of Mac bumping gloves with a defeated Glass Joe with a smile on both of their faces made me like Joe a lot more honestly.

They were burning a hole in my pockets anyways
Man I love Punch-Out. New ones come out very infrequently, but they almost don't need to - it's gotta be one of those series that everyone just knows, even if they don't know they know it. Good stuff.
Since I'd basically be saying variations of that on each video, instead I'll do thoughts on the individual fighters for these. Like the video itself, only much shorter and more surface-level stuff.
Glass Joe - The best, because he's the worst. You kinda have to admire a man who's been in 100 professional bouts, even if most of them are losses. Takes a lot of guts to always stand back up, especially if that's all you can boast. Infinitely better than Gabby Jay despite canonically losing to him.
Von Kaiser - I'm biased against him for petty reasons due to an online game I used to play, but I also have a bit of a soft spot for him for the same reasons. I like that he comes across as a bit of a nervous wreck - still a jobber like Joe before him, but you get the impression that he probably was a decent boxer at some point. Makes for a fun sliding scale of difficulty represented by characterization. Also - best mustache in the series.
Piston Honda - In a game where everyone's a stereotype, you have to appreciate Nintendo's ability to poke fun at themselves, too. He has some of the better quips in the game (there's something undeniably catchy about "TKO from Tokyo"), so there's a bit of hometown love, too. I'm reasonably sure I was leveled by the Honda Rush my first time or two, which I suppose is sort of the point. Good early boss.
@Nicholas Hester Punch out for wii
We’re definitely due for a new one! It’d be great fun to see one on Switch using ARMS’s or Fitness Boxing’s control scheme
@Nicholas Hester It is new compared to the Arcade Super Punch out
But the best quip is Bald Bull’s “My barber didn’t know when to quit, do you?” References his name, and turns it into an insult without being a self-burn, absolutely amazing.
As a German I Like von Kaiser and his personality, but I have no clue why He says "Kampfschuhe" in the Wii Version.
I like how Glass Joe is actually a better boxer than Von Kaiser once he gets over himself.
If Joe had better physicality, he would actually be pretty decent.
Who COULDN’T beat Glass Joe!?
Hahahahaha- Mike Tyson. :\
That's where Glass Joe's 1 win came from
Wrong, the only fight he won was against Nick Bruiser. In a weird way.
@@horribledeeds5795, Unnamed was just making a joke.
@@Aidandude mike Tyson acctually failed to be glass joe
No one time he beat the final boss of super punch out
"Honda is built to last" was a really cute line.

10:43 this is a great picture
I am so annoyed at the lack of views. This is already one of your best videos so i can't wait to see the rest.
If only people said the same to my channel...
(mine's shitty tho ._.)
@@soggyapplevirus4934 B R U H
Glad to see it change.
When the fuck did I comment on this video?
@@KokiriKidLink I found you! Faker!
Not sure where you got the info at 16:10 from but it's very much not true lol
I’m assuming that player just performed a star punch after Honda got up on a 1 count. That’s an actual mechanic.
interesting fact, while the japanese dont believe this the chinese do. when you pronounce four in chinese it sounds very much like the way to pronounce the word for death
I've heard that before as well
Wait a minute it's Summoning Salt!
Designing for: bosses have grown
Boom boom: am I a joke to you
i mean....if you think about it, glass joe is one of the toughest characters. (bear with me) because what other boxer in the game has had the shit beat out of him 99 times and is *STILL* fighting?
I was.
The fact he's mocked, laughed at, lost almost every fight he's been in, been beat up many, many times, yet STILL keeps getting back in the ring, even though he's a terrible fighter, he won't give up on his dream.
Insinuating that the bosses on castlevania 1 are easy is a personal offense. They're only easy if you have played many times, and has mastered the game.
The idea isn't so much that they're easy, but more like they aren't really the core focus of the game.
@@DesigningFor putting it that way, i do agree. When the focus of the game is the boss fights, they really need to have extra care to them.
Simple from a design prespective don't make them easy to beat in game.
Same goes for MegaMan 1, patterns are simple, but the game's own clunkyness combined with bosses having patterns that you have to memorize on how they work and some weapons hitting extremely hard, like Elec Beam and Ice man's weapon, make them seem more difficult for a first timer than they may be

@@tbone2416 ayyyyyyyyyyyy
We’re never gonna let that Pokémon jelly filled donuts thing die aren’t we
First off, I find the thesis of this video---that Punch-Out defined the concept of "boss fight" for generations to come---very interesting considering that while Punch-Out is this unique game that doesn't quite fit into genre categories, boss fights seem to litter almost ever kind of game, occasionally popping up even in genres ill-suited to them, like puzzle games.
Secondly, and it might be a bit too early in the series ask this... how do you feel about Super Punch Out and Punch Out Wii? With such a groundbreaking act to follow, do they really compare? Wii certainly does a good job building distinct and memorable characters, but I wonder if even that is enough to live up to such a legacy...
Punch-Out Wii is excellent. Its animation is exceptional, it has the most content thanks to having the greatest variety of boxers, having a new one, and having refights for everyone except Donkey Kong, it keeps the gameplay incredibly faithful and even improves it in some ways (I like how Bear Hugger teaches you the duck, for example, that was always a bit underutilized in Mike Tyson's).
Super Punch-Out's not bad, but it's a different kind of game entirely, more in line with what the arcade games were. I personally greatly prefer the emphasis on puzzle-like elements that Mike Tyson's and Wii provide, but if you want a more action-forward title then it can be a good time. The theming is all kinds of lamer, though. Nick Bruiser vs. Mike Tyson? No contest.
thesis? ok smartass
@@natsukithegoddess Mate, it's literally a video essay
@@BenDover-xw7dv thesis is such an ugly word. Only for smartasses whose only purpose in life is to sound smart. Just enjoy it for what it is, stop turning everything into a boring English class
Natsuki ok then. Big boy point thing in thing that is more than one sentence block.
About technical limitations of the NES on this game, the opponents are sprites while Little Mac and the referee are background tiles.
I love how on piston honda, you had 3 "jelly donuts" fly across.
Apparently, Glass Joe’s only win was against Nick Bruiser in a terrible accident
7:58
So basically the teens who played this in that Find Bros React gaming video. Seriously, certain people in the comments lambasted those teens for struggling on Glass Joe. Even though I’m pretty sure that’s how most newbies in the 80s were in they’re first fighting him.
Holy crap I've watched 95% of your videos for a while now and I just realized how you have a comparatively little amount of subscribers to how much you deserve.
13:11 I love donuts! Especially the jelly filled kind. Nothing beats a jelly filled donut
My head canon is that glass Joe was an actual good fighter and that one single win in his record is reflecting that, but since He won, the cockiness made his skill plummet to the ground, hence the 99 losses.
Actually the only win was against Nick Bruiser (Final boss of Super Punch out) and in a "freak accident"
Still a nice headcanon c:
@@Acacius1992 that actually makes the cockiness more believable
15:39 I think Piston Honda is weaker to body blows because of a Japanese practice called "hara-kiri" or ritual suicide. What is this you may ask? It's plunging a katana into your lower chest area. (which is where Mac hits his hooks on Honda)
I was wondering why that was specified. Thanks for the context.
I've lost to Glass Jaw more than once. First time I ever played, and a couple of times when I was so sick I could barely mentally function.
Me losing INTENTIONALLY 3 times for game over to have joe's record 4-99
A lot of times in video gaming, something great is achieved due to technical limitations or even due to executive parameters forcing developers to think outside the box and come up with something that fits what's available or mandated. Mario's iconic design came about in large part due to technical limitations. The arcade Punch-Out!! came about because Nintendo had way too many monitors on hand and needed an arcade game that would use two monitors instead of one.
You can actually counter most uppercuts by hitting them low then punching with the other hand when they swap to the other side
By far, the best Mike Tyson's Punch Out tutorial yet.

This channel is criminally underrated! This is awesome content, buddy! Keep it up
This is legit the best video I've seen in so long it's so well written and formatted
I find myself coming back to this series about every month or so.
I'm watching the series in full even though I already took a look at parts 3 and 4 since those are the heavy hitting fights but I like the general tone of flow and things. Plus, the fact that you used *that* Hajime no Ippo moment at 10:18 had me fucking dying.
Also, thanks algorithm.
Several years ago when I played the Wii version I couldn't beat Glass Joe ._.
I got better at it though, and managed to go all the way to Ryan before my mom decided to get rid of it
I couldn't beat TD Von Kaiser.
@Samuel Bateman HA EZ
Lots of love and effort was put into this series. Heres hoping the algorithm favors you more

Thanks to everyone commenting for the algorithm, this was a really fun video to watch!
This is literally one of my favourite videos on CZcams
Really nice work and analysis! After so many decades, the 1st time approach to this one is 100% lost on the classic gamers like myself.
Glass joe is an underdog. And he is oddly... Charming
What were you on Jay?
that was genuinely amazing
10:36 And THAT signified the beginning of speedrunning Mike Tyson's Punch-Out...
This made me appreciate the deigns on those games a lot more
Also I think that, canonically speaking, Glass Joe's one win is actually beating Mike Tyson in game as a homage to that famous quote.
What i like about these characters is they are all so different from eachother. And they're all absolutely hilarious in the wii version.
This is my first video I've found of you and I gotta say it's, hands down, the best gaming analysis I've ever seen. Way better than Shesez or mattpat. You have an awesome idea going. Subbed and hooked for sure.
These are the kind of videos I love. It truly has a DEEP love for the industry. The art behind games; the culture in a nutshell. Can't say it enough keep this coming. Can't get enough.
It's easy to see that you put so much love and passion in what you do.
As long as it pleases you, keep up the good work, and know that it's fully appreciated by those who watch it.
Post-scriptum : [-sigh-]
It seems no one will ever see us frenchmen as anything other than some cowards.
To bad.
As a historian, I know all too well the reputation is unfounded. At least the GIGN are terrifyingly effective
Wow this is exactly what I wanted to watch. Im working on a punch out style game and its neat to see someone else disect the game without being boring!
You know this man will blow up one day. I'm subbin' in early before 10k
I was actually too intimidated to even play Mike Tyson's Punch-Out as a little kid. It wasn't until Super Punch-Out on the SNES that i built up the courage to start knocking suckers down, but was still surprised to see how much harder the original NES game was, having 3 rounds instead of 1 and Star Punches instead of the KO meter.
the croissants got me, I laughed a little too hard when they flew upwards
It’s great that with Nintendo Entertainment System Online allows you to play the vintage games like punch out and many other Nintendo classics
It fits that when he says: "feels like a semi-truck to the face" it shows sandman
Love the way you structured this video and the delivery is awesome subbed
Nice analysis. It's hard as we play many generations of games to relive the feeling of experiencing games for the first time.
The best games of yesteryear capitalize on the core concepts that still makes game's enjoyable today.
Cool video bro I agree punching stuff is cool
God i love the punch out series. The charm of every character is just great
Yes kirb
Excellent video and it truly captures what my 10 year old self was feeling the first time I played Punchout!
I know this is painfully off topic but made me really happy to see a Hajime no Ippo clip tossed in there
8:57
Eh Eh Long Live France!
Weeeowoooooooooo (thump)

I've been dreaming of this kind of video Bravo!!!!!
Punch-Out is such an underrated series that it makes me sad. Punch out is my favorite Nintendo game and its sad that it doesn't get the attention and love it deserves
*insert super punch out*
I wanna hear all of Punch Out narrated by you
HEY FELLAS, WOULDNT YOU BELIEVE IT? THERES MORE!
This is a fantastic start I just subscribed to your channel. This an amazing video and i appreciate all the work you put in.
Glass Joe's theme in Mike Tyson's Punch out is so satisfying
8:30 that's exactly what happened to me when I got the nes classic.Eventually, I figured it out. Oh yeah, he's blocking and I felt like an idiot.I even lost
11:12 pretty funny that he uses that picture if you know what the next one is in the game.
This was beautiful.
This content is amazing and really underrated!
I remember when I got to Honda. I felt so intimidated by his size compared to the challenge that Von Kaiser was. I tried the strat I did with Joe and Keiser: hit him low, then hit him high out of nowhere. However, Piston blocked all my blows, and that was the first straw. I then thought, like he said in the vid, to dodge the honda rush. But that didn't work obviously and it was back to Keiser 3 more times. Eventually I made it past Hondo SOMEHOW
Commenting for the algorithm, this was a joy to watch!
I'd highly recommend you ask people to subscribe more, especially in the first two minutes, it makes a massive difference and you absolutely deserve more subs.
@Doofus
it doesnt really make a difference, though. why would somebody subscribe when they havent even watched the video yet?
@ yknow, you'd really be surprised, honestly i have no clue either to why its as effective as it is too.
On analytics you're able to see a graph when people subscribe, shits like a cheat code lmao I've seen 20-30% spikes :p
Awesome video man!
Amazing to see him still hearting and pinning comments even after 5 months!
To be honest, there’s not one bad Punch Out boxer. Every character from Glass Joe to Mr Sandman have such great appeal and do such a great job at training the player in their own ways, there’s not one that I hate.
And the only generic, forgettable, mediocre boxer in the franchise (the Irish guy from one of the arcade games) got a _very_ distinct identity in Punch Out Wii: Becoming a dirty cheater who breaks basically every rule possible.
@@RoninCatholicAran Ryan.
5:05 If I could give you a second like for the Scott Pilgrim reference,I would. 10:17 AND the Hajime no Ippo reference too! Fuck it Im sharing this to facebook more people gotta see this!
Love the Jelly Donut reference from Pokémon lol.
I have watched this series so many times now just because it is fun and I very reliably good so I expect to be back over and over again
I want to see a sequel to Punch Out where a retired Little Mac trains a new upcoming Boxer or goes back into the ring to prove he still has the Star Punch in him.
Better yet, I'd love to see a prequel to Punch Out Wii where you play as Doc Louis in his prime.
The SNES Super Punch-Out was a really awesome game. I dunno about the Wii version, and I never really played the NES one, but I had a lot of fun with the SNES one. Such a variety of fights, each having their own list of 'things' about them, and they kept the comedic relief from the first and jacked it up to 11 with utter silliness, but yet still made it work, and there were a variety of ways that once you got good at the game you could have fun just wrecking its fighters. Aran Ryan hates being nailed with super punches and says your little punches can't faze him. Oh really? I've found that a couple speed punch barrages will stun him and cause him to wobble about. THEN he gets the big punch and he goes down like a sack of potatoes, for example.
Wow this vid was a great pitch for Punch Out. I've never actually played it before but now I really want to.
incredibly underrated
The amount of views this has frightens me.
Ah yes the prequel to Shadow of the Colossus. Or is it a demake? Either way, I've actually never played a Punch Out game in my life, only watched friends and it's always a hype time no matter what. To have something as simple as boxing become this interwoven, complicated and well designed puzzle and reaction game (especially as early as it came out) is masterful. Stoked for this series!
(Too bad Mac still sucks in SSBU though...)
