Super Punch-Out!! Playthrough Part 4
25In this video, we beat the first three opponents of the Special Circuit! These opponents include Narcis Prince, Hoy Quarlow, and Rick Bruiser!
Narcis Prince is actually a simple one. As much as he doesn't want you to punch his beautiful, beautiful face, you should. Thankfully, using the dizzy trick, the second knockdown should always keep him down. If he didn't want his face remodeled, maybe he shouldn't have taken up boxing as a hobby.
Ugh, Hoy Quarlow. This old jerk loves to fly all over the place with his cane (illegal in boxing btw) and counter nearly every move you got. Making him dizzy is actually pretty tough. You want to space out your punches. If you do it too late or too early, he'll block or dodge them. Also, as you can see, he doesn't get stunned from counters, but they're still useful to pull on him. Those last two uppercuts are RIDICULOUS to land. You can't do it as soon as the announcer shouts "fight!" or else he'll just swiftly dodge your punch, or even block it and shove you aside. You have to do it a LITTLE bit after the fight starts. When he gets up for the second time, it's kind of the same thing. Don't use the hook right away. Give Hoy a bit of time to get into position first.
Rick Bruiser is far more aggressive than any of the boxers we've seen (well... besides maybe Hoy). He'll try to counter every move you hit him with. Making him dizzy is actually easier than you'd think. The hard part in his fight comes from the second phase. You have to time an uppercut JUST as he's lowering his arms. If you do it too early, he blocks it. If you do it too late, he dodges it. If you hit him in the face, all you have to do is quickly dodge right and left before giving him a nasty super hook to the stomach. You need to make sure you hit him FAST with it, or else he'll just block it. The last phase just requires a similar uppercut to the second one. Still a pain, though.
All that remains is the champion... Nick Bruiser.
