Your Favorite Opponent from the Punch-Out!! Series

**Ascending Wordsmith** · 12-09-2002, 10:48 PM

I don't know if Nintendo has any plans to extend its Punch-Out!! series, but the opponents they came up with are the most personalized bunch of guys we've ever known. Some are gullible, sneaky, strange, mean, conceited, hateful, and just plain wicked.

Of all the Punch-Out!! games (coin-ops and carts) which opponent do you like best and why?

I've always had a thing for the Bruiser Brothers, Rick and Nick. Particularly the flamboyant Rick. His only loss was to his brother. His excuse? "I let him win!" Rick has a move where he gives a HUGE uppercut and comes down with his elbow. Sneaky and cheap... I like it! Nick is the quiet one. He prefers to leave the trash talking to his brother and just beat the hell out of his opponents.

Rick and Nick Bruiser... they're my favorites. Who is yours?

Ah, Punch Out...yet another series that needs reviving. I hope that any future PO's return to the three round format because that one round fighting in Super PO didnt feel like a boxing match to me

Anyhoo, my fave character to fight had to be Don Flamenco....he just made me wanna cave his face in. Just out of pure bad-assedness, Mr Sandman and the NES version of Super Macho Man rock the house.

Soda Pop P. He was funny, and I loved woopin his butt. I hated losing to him(and Bald Bull) Because they would laugh in my face!

Gabby Jay's pathetic war cry of "Yay!" still makes me laugh after all these years.

I'm also a big fan of Soda Popinski...mainly because they changed the liquor bottle he was drinking to "pop" but didn't bother changing all his liquor-related quotes!

"I can't drive, so I'm gonna walk all over you!"
"I'm going to make you punch drunk!"

My ass still gets tight trying to time Bald Bull's charge.

The fat guy with the bandaid was great! I remember taking forever to figure out how to beat him...great game!

King Hippo !

boa! boa! boa!

**kainemaxwell** · 12-10-2002, 05:04 PM

I was always a King Hippo fan too. Who was the guy in Super who kept doing flying kicks on you?

**WiseSalesman** · 12-10-2002, 05:08 PM

Dragon Chan.

Gotta be King Hippo.

I liked Mr. Sandman in NES punchout. He wasn't as easily accessible as the other fighters so you had to work your way to him if you wanted to fight him. And when there, you could box him pretty good so it was a little more fun than the others imo.

**Iron Monkey** · 12-10-2002, 06:05 PM

Is game not "DRAGONCHAN" Present?
DRAGONCHAN favorite.
HAAAAAAAAI!

**batmanlivesatmyhouse** · 12-11-2002, 03:46 PM

King Hippo! He locked my vote when he was on the Nintendo cartoon!

**BHvrd** · 12-11-2002, 05:57 PM

There can be only one!

**nesman85** · 12-11-2002, 08:17 PM

definitely king hippo.

**Andy Rampage** · 12-11-2002, 10:59 PM

Man, no Way!
GLASS JOE !!

The Way he would be introduced
(on the coin-op i played on, at least!)....
which has STUCK with me ... to this very day!
"GLASSSSSSSSSSSS JOE!""

and The Way He Looked when Ya landed one on him,
Reminded me Of Some kid from school....

which helps him to REMIAN indelibly in my brain.

**punkoffgirl** · 12-11-2002, 11:42 PM

King Hippo for me as well... Nothing as satisfying as hitting that little "x marks the spot" on his belly to see his pants drop

**moycon** · 12-12-2002, 12:09 AM

Glass Joe.

I'd open up a can a wupp ass on that dude.
I agree with Andy. I just like the way he was announced.

**Andy Rampage** · 12-13-2002, 05:10 PM

I agree. Mr. Sandman was pretty cool. He wasn't as dangerous on the offensive end as guys like Tyson, Super Macho Man or even Bald Bull but it was much harder to take down Sandman than anyone else in the NES game. It was tough to hit him and he blocked very well. There were no real patterns he fell into, either.

It took more time to knock him out than anyone else. At one time I could beat pretty much every other fighter in Round 1, aside from Sandman.
