Super Punch-Out!! - Blindfolded Race w/ Hootey performed at GDQx 2019 [

- Both myself and fellow Super Punch Out speedrunner Hootey both got the opportunity to race each other in Super Punch Out blindfolded at a GDQ! The time listed was my finish time from pressing start until the TKO appears at the end of the Nick fight (this time accounts for the accidental quick start by adding a second to the time).
This game is ridiculously inconsistent and difficult to beat blindfolded at all, let alone in a marathon setting. When I beat this game blindfolded in AGDQ 2014, it had tons of lucky breaks in it, so a repeat performance would require an intense reroute to heighten the chances of success before another marathon showing would be worth attempting.
Both Hootey and myself have been hard at work finding extremely fast setups and ways to make many of these fights as consistent as they could possibly be. That being said, Super Punch Out is wildly random in terms of getting extremely fast times, even to the point where most of our setups are either "mostly consistent but can't be completely" or we just literally have to options for some fights in terms of consistency.
Despite everything, both of us were extremely close the entire race with tons of huge lead changes. I am also ecstatic that both of us were able to handily beat the AGDQ 2014 time that I got for blind SPO, which really shows how far this game and the community surrounding it has come!
This also happens to be the second time I've ever completed a blindfolded Punch Out run at a Games Done Quick event to where I never lost a single bout with any opposing boxer! The first time I pulled this off was actually the most recent Wii Punch Out run at SGDQ!
I am super proud of how far Hootey has come in learning this game to the point to where we were both handily capable of sharing our hard work and practice with the GDQ audience this year!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy our run!
“You wanna see a tiny kid from Brooklyn beat the snot out of a bunch of grown men?”
Zallard and Hootey: No
Thats why they are blindfolded
It took me q0 seconds to get that
Isn't it bronx?
@@Dryw4ll3at3r That's the joke my man
@@tharealshifty7618 thats lil mac, main character in spo is not lil mac
Announcer: you can’t ko masked muscle Hooted: This rule can’t stop me because I can’t see
Lucas Spinetti I can’t hear*
See It's called a blindfolded speedrun for a reason lol
they have headphones in the cant hear what theyre saying
It looked like that after you get that dizzy KO, if you counter his spitting i think that KOs him completely. Judging by Hootey's screen
I've KO'd him before without the stun,I just managed to KO him twice in a short amount of time between eachother,each final blow with a Super Punch
"You have to TKO Masked Muscle"
Hootey: *Casually proceeds to KO Masked Muscle*
Yeah I knocked him out when I played
He's easy to KO
I think he meant with the strat that zallard was using
Peruvian Potato not as easy as gabby
@@TheEmilyFravel Gabby is as simple as: Face Jab, Face Jab, Face Jab, Face Jab, Face Jab, (slight pause) Hook, Hook, Uppercut, and then finally, (long delay) UPPERCUT FOR THE K.O!!! Gabby tries to get up on 6, but fails, BOOM, DONE. (This isn't the strategy in the video, just the one I use.)
"You have to TKO mass muscle" - commentators
"Time to KO mass muscle" - Hootey
*masked muscle
but his name is Masked Muscle
@@nicccckque3908 tell the commentator that
ok
@@sosyea They're saying Masked. Enunciation isn't exactly something you focus on when you're witnessing an absolutely insane run like this.
Notice how the snakes on the minor circuit screen info card of gabby Jay are perfectly lined up
I love it
bless you for giving us this knowledge
I noticed that before I saw this comment
Y
I was going to say that
Well actually the snakes on the right side are just a little lower then on the left but still very satisfying
I accidently did a frame perfect counter
-Zallard1 2014
Sounds like Zallard
Skill disguised as luck and we all know it hell ain't luck
18:36
15:32 darn, that some good coincidental sync right there.
1! 2! 3!
ALADI
12:31 to a lesser extent
Nice
Macho man's excercise programs at work
21:59 zallard's emotion and trying to not scream hahaha he's the beast of SPO
I'm usually not a fan of GDQ videos, but this video is excellent. No forced humor, no cringey donation reads, just an incredibly techinical run performed by the best, and explained by those who know what they're talking about. Very fun watch.
I couldn't agree more 💯
18:37 Strikes Hoy Quarlow at the last moment before his jump attack, blind. God level skills.
"I accidentally did a frame perfect counter"
Looked like hoy magnetized to his fist
23:21 I love how respectful Nick is
"You fought your best and gave me a good challenge...for that...you earned my respect."
I never even knew about super punch out that much until I got an SNES classic and it came bundled on it. Fell in love with it immediately, and only played that game until I beat it. Spent various nights up to beat it quickly, and now I absolutely love watching speedruns on both this and Punch Out for Wii
You should play it on The original SNES, I am getting it tommorow
24:55 Seeing this made me feel really happy inside. This isn't just respect and good sportsmanship. These men are true friends with nothing but raw ludus and/or even straight up philia (yes, I looked up the many Greek words for love just to make a point) towards one another.
“Mistakes are pretty easy to make when you’re blindfolded so you might see a bit of that.”
But they won’t.
Hootey made an INSANE comeback
Edit:actually both of them did!
The announcer: Masked Muscle is another boxer you cannot KO.
Hootey: I'm so far behind, I'll do it anyway to take the lead!
22:49 lol bear hugger breaking the fourth wall right here
Lol
He said 17 seconds, not 17"60 seconds, the man has standards. And surprisingly, frame timing is one of them.
How in the unholly fuck do you play this game blindfolded? Like honestly I just can't understand it. This is honestly a talent
Talents are a gift you already have. This guy practices a shit ton.
Audio cues, and memorizing setups
Blind dude here. When you look at punchout as a patterns and timing based game rather than a boxing game, you kinda go from there.
Never finished this game completely tho, only got to the last circuit, and NES punchout, forget about it. Lol...
Ended up doing music, producing and DJing before I could figure out how to beat those games.
@@sgtcreasegrease How did you type this if you're blind .-.
@@InsomniaDaydreamer speech to text exists
22:51 “I’ve heard someone can beat me in 17 seconds.”
Zallard1: *are you challenging me?*
And after all this time, I'm
still unable to dizzy the opponents, I always play SPO the "original style", so when I see zallard1 and any other speedrunner do this thing, it never ends to amaze me. GG and way to go zallard!!
Kepabra dizzying gabby jay is actually really easy. All you really have to do is punch him when the guard is low with the right jab repeatedly. And upper cut him when you can (upward super punch).
Thanks to GDQ, now after 26 years I finally learned that left punch and right punch have different speeds. That should be one of the most basic things to notice but I never did xD
I recall it said that in the manual. One of the punches is quicker but less strong
@@FigureFarterjust like real boxing. The straight punches to the head are going to be faster than the body blows, but since Mac throws hooks to the body, they're going to be stronger than the straight punches.
Announcer: This is where it's REALLY gonna get messy.
(fight is won flawlessly in 12 seconds)
"¿How You Feel About Coin Flips?"
That's What I Always Ask In My Head While Fighting Against Nick.
Next up, two deaf people race to see who can guess what song is playing
"Masked muscle is one of the fighters who you have to TKO, you can't KO him."
Hootey: *KOs masked muscle*
I never get tired of watching this. It's like poetry in motion watching the two work.
Note how they said that masked muscle couldn't be KO'ed.
Hootey KO's masked muscle five seconds later, and not a TKO, a KO
I actually did it too, and didnt even use any speedrunning strats, just spammed the knockout hooks.
they also say hoy can be ko’d, but he cant
Zallard pressed start when the dude said 1 on the countdown while Mootey pressed start when he said go.
Wouldn’t have mattered
I payed more attention to the ingame time
Zallard is a cheater :-o
@@ICANTTHINK1124 how come?
NigNogNas Since zallard won by 2 minutes would it have been a huge deal, sorry I’m not to big into speedrunning.
this is insane. i couldn’t even beat Gabby Jay with my eyes open.
I completely refuse to believe someone is this bad at the game. The first fight is deliberately made extremely easy in order to teach you how to play.
"NO KO'ING MASKED MUSCLE HOOTEY" - The Announcer
Hootey: That can't stop me because I can't read!
Everybody talkin mad shit until Zallard got the headband
3:09 is when it starts.
I played this game over 1000 times as a child .
Only Once … only once was I able to
Beat Nick Bruiser out of pure luck and just dodging and insane Rng .
I just couldnt read him like the others but I did it
23:19 I greatly respect Nick for his bow if you lose to him
Amazing run, congrats you legend!
Hootey proved the commentors wrong about Masked Muscle
Anyone: *challenges Zallard1*
Zallard1: I see you have chosen death.
Is anyone gonna say anything about how zallard got a small headstart
It's super noticable not sure how they didn't catch it
It's insane to me how many chances there are to make a comeback in this game!
My boy Mad Clown bein out here like we live in a society.
No! You have to TKO Masked Muscle!
Hooty: ha ha, gloves go pow!
22:51 I guess we now know who Bear Hugger is talking about.
Incredible! Congratulations to both you gentlemen!👍🏿💪🏾🤚🏿🙅🏾♂️ 26:13

8:54 he said you cant ko him but the right guy did
*Hootey
Masked Muscle, not Dragon Chan
@@brightshadow80 what
I just noticed that time only happened after you and Hootey's brohug connected. That's really cute.
Nice Job Zallard1! Again with Nick Bruiser!
So when's THIS trilogy going to be completed?
Y'know, whenever I watch these, they make me think of ancient greek oracles. The kind of skill and dedication these guys have to the craft of speedrunning is genuinely impressive and I'd even go as far as to say they've been blessed by gods for such a duty.
There should've been a third Bruiser twin named Dick Bruiser who can't win a fight because he low blows his opponents.
Super Punch Out for the Switch. With Sick Bruiser, will sneeze in your face
@@deadakus basically the same as Masked Muscle's move
How about 'Slick Bruiser', with a telekinetic move that basically works like Mad Clown's ball toss, only faster and with more waves to dodge.
Kick Bruiser who does Dragon Chan style kicks, but much faster
Uhhhhhh DETOMINIZED
Zallard's side looks like the game came from the snes while Hootie's side looks like it came from the Sega Genesis.
Amazing job by both of you! Hopefully we’ll have a rematch next year!
The beginning is like playing Super Punch Out with a speech jammer
A mere mortal challenged Zallard1?
So no one's talking about how zallard started a second early? Lol
I noticed that too but I think it's the fault of the guy giving both players the start signal by tapping their shoulders.
@@andrekohler5792 He gave them both the same signals tho.
Zallard won by more than one second so it doesn't matter
11:08 lmao mr sandman dropped with the beat of the tom drums
Bald Bull doesn't need a punch to the face for his dizzy KD.
So freaking amazing! GG to both!
Who is only paying attention to Zallard after bob Charlie?
Nick Bruiser came in clutch in Zallard1
If you look before the start on the gabby jay screen the patterns slide onto the other screen perfectly
I've seen a bunch of these SPO speed runs and one thing I've seen that the runner always does is pause the Gabby Jay fight. What is the reason for doing this?
when counter punching, the KO meter fills quite a bit, but it takes a moment. while paused, the KO meter still fills from the counter punch, while if you had not paused, jay would throw another punch before your KO meter filled.
The audio mixing in this video is Hollywood quality, give whoever did it a raise
Nice zallard nice job you managed to comeback at the end there man I was nervous
Announcer: “Masked Muscle is another fighter you cannot KO.”
Hootey: proceeds to KO Masked Muscle. 😂
I'm very amazed that the Adventure of Batman and Robin soundtrack that plays when you fight that huge cat in Sega Genesis played when this vid started.
Zallard for the 🏆 win
3:20 why you shouldn't pause on Disney movies in a nutshell look to the right
Great race - a lot of back and back forth!
Zallard with the clean no losses run and Hootey with the quicker overall victories; a showcase of mastery on both sides.

I love this channel.
In the video they say you can't KO Masked Muscle, but Hootey KO'd Masked Muscle.
You've punched face of hoy quarlow for more damage
Also known as: hooty fucks up repeatedly but almost wins by some absurd bullshit
Imagine zallard1 said to Tyson: "Hey Mike, I knocked you out blindfolded". Mike responds: "Yeah, well I would knock you out in a real fight". zallard moves away as quietly and softly as he possibly could
It's all fun and games until zallard grabs the headband
He’s doing a guard manipulation
Damn!!!!! You rock Zallard! 🙌🏻
"Hoy might not get up"
Hoy can't be KO'd
yeah he can
in certain regions i think
3:10 is when the run starts
24:49 Nick Bruiser: *lying dead on the ground*
Super Macho Man: *FLEX!*
he heard the applause
This might be out of place but i think i got the reused swaps for super punch out
Gabby Jay and Bob Charlie (not sure on this one
Bear Hugger and Mad Clown
Piston Hurricane and Aran Ryan
Bald Bull and Mr sandman (not sure)
Dragon Chan and Heike Kagero
Masked Muscle and Super Macho Man
Rick and Nick Bruiser
(Hoy is original but narcis might be a swap but idk)
This is how it's done
Gabby Jay & Bob Charlie
Aran Ryan & Piston Hurricane
Masked Muscle & Super Macho Man
Mr. Sandman & Bald Bull
Rick Bruiser & Nick Bruiser
correct!
narcis has no pallet swap
8:48 - "This is another boxer that cannot be KO'd"
Hootey - "I can't hear you!" *KOs Masked Muscle a minute later*
Im surprised some ppl didnt know they could ko nick based on the games rng again its based on rng.
Dang poor hootey he got wrecked in the nick fight but still a great fight!
Kings stay kings.
i still can't believe sinister1 is here
Super punch out is cool, don’t know why it’s shunned
It's because a lot people felt that new characters in the game are forgettable and are lame which is bullshit.
Zallard kinda jumped the gun when they started
They couldn't hear and I think they practiced for a "3... 2... 1..." but the speaker started at 5 but the "touching" guy already had his hand on the shoulder.... it was a tiny cluster fuck of execution. And I'm sure neither runner would have fought over it if it was that close. With as much "timing" as speedrunners do, they know the real race begins once you hit the first button... doesn't matter when your opponent did, it's when *YOU* did. So had that second difference, I'm sure they would have both agreed that whoever *actually* had the wining time would be the winner. But in the meantime just amazed that in such a game with such rng while playing blind, that it was so close. I don't really see that much "smack talk" amongst speedrunners. They all seem to just admire the skills each one has, and "hey if your times match mine then hello brother" kind of thing. I mean yeah, there are of course assholes in all groups, but it's not like in boxing/mma where the crowd *expects* you two to hate each other kind of thing.
That amazing The Adventures of Batman and Robin OST by Jesper Kyd at the beginning.
Hooty: ahead of zallard
Bob Charlie: in gonna stop you right there
Hootey vs Nick Bruiser = Me vs Bald Bull
tips: his low hook will usually be followed by an uppercut.
punch the “counter-punch!” bull charge after you hear the first thump.
Just so people know, nick bruiser can be KO'd and hoy quarlow can't be KO'd,you need to tko him because its a softcore fight, this also aply's to sandman, with a hardcore fight.
Kinda funny how only the winning persons audio plays
Maybe because that is zallard’s screen, this is zallard’s channel, and double audio would be confusing
Its probably to prevent the gdq stream from sounding like the 9th circle
Damn you finally did it
pizza cake
He said Brooklyn....I though Mac was from Bronx. Not calling him out but was he originally from Brooklyn?
Can you please do a tutorial for how to speedrun SPO. I want to do it but don’t know how to start
I definitely want to work on a tutorial eventually, I just keep getting caught up in stuff, and it gets kind of hard to set aside the time needed to do a tutorial that's at the quality I'd want it to be at.
Thanks for replying! Also if you ever get it out i will try to be the first there. In the meanwhile i will just grind out punchout! Wii
@@zallard1 I have an emulator called zsnes so how do you leave on default and make the punches faster and also you mentioned the sound cue?
Here are the boxers that can be KO and TKO in the game
KO: Gabby Jay, Bear Hugger, Piston Hurricane, Bob Charlie, Dragon Chan, Masked Muscle, Aran Ryan, Super Macho Man, Narcis Prince and Nick Bruiser
TKO: Bald Bull, Mr. Sandman, Heike Kagero, Mad Clown, Hoy Quarlow and Rick Bruiser
Heike Kagero can be KOed.
You destroyed hootey thanks to good rng and... accidental frame perfect counters....
Do you realise that this was all in good fun? If zallard was bragging about it, sure you have a right to be mad, but it's just a fun thing he did with a friend
Great job, zallard!
Hey, Batman and Robin Genesis music at the beginning! Nice.
The whole video I thought Hoy Quarlow was going to be the hard one.
he is.
