There's always one guy that gives Punch Out players trouble. It doesn't matter which Punch Out game it is, Macho Man and Bald Bull always make me want to chuck a controller across the room. Even after having beaten Punch Out and Super Punch Out more than once, those guys still sometimes give me trouble
For me, I get tripped up on Don Flameco the second time around, not because he's tough, but because I'm impatient and leave myself open after making poor choices. I'd like to think I have Sandman figured out, but I definitely agree that the triple uppercut is tough to avoid. I'm just happy if I only get hit once.

As for other challeneges, I've been trying to at least get close to the TG high score for Super Mario Bros. under their rules. I've gotten as high as over 1,100,000, but there's room for improvement.

Beating the original Rayman without uttering the phrase 'Oh fuck it, what's the point?'.

Well, I just finished Tali's cheap, annoying piece of sh** excuse for a recruitment mission on Insanity with its random sun spots and lame, infinitely respawning Geth :roll:

F*** that mission and whoever designed it

I've got a few loyalty missions done already, and got my last recruit in Tali, so it won't be much longer before I get done with this Insanity mode run

Apparently everything I know about Punch-Out is wrong. This game has a lot more depth than I gave it credit for.

Yeah, Don Flamenco II was a sticking point for me too, I never really got the hang of him. He just blocked everything. Once I beat him though, I beat Sandman and Macho Man first time against both. Mr. Dream/Tyson is hard too, but not as bad as people make him out to be. You'll get it eventually.

Sandman gave me a lot of trouble (until I realized that you can manipulate his patterns), but I also didn't struggle a ton with Macho Man. Tyson wasn't as bad as I thought he'd be, but he was still pretty tough. Everyone talks about how crazy his dynamite punches are, but after a few tries that becomes the easiest part of the match (admittedly though while learning the timing I had a few matches that lasted about 15 seconds).

Ninja Gaiden for the last 20 years or so,no game genie no cheats.I think it actually took 10 years to finally get past that awkward jump where the platform is tricky and the mountain wall blocks you from landing on the other platform and oh yea theres a falcon that flys by everytime your about to jump.

But thats easy now its the very last boss that hands it to me before I rage quit.

Other than that Dark Souls in general :cry:

Anyways - add me. I know I'm already on Dsh's friends list.

* I went to check my score and see I need to do a major update for this game. After it updates I'll post my score.

** Got my score:

chupon: 96,453,775
Cool, added you.

Just curious - is that score based on Easy or Normal in the arcade mode? I only ask because the Easy loops at the same level of difficulty while Normal gets tougher each time.

I've dreamed to achieve 1,000,000 points on Time Crisis 2 and 3,000,000 on Time Crisis 3, with only the regular PS2 controller, NO GUNCON.

Also, I would love to unlock all of the extras and characters by meeting all the requirements and beating all the missions in KOF XI but I need to master myself in the game.
