This game has some very challenging moments, but it is quite enjoyable and probably has some incredible depth. I beat the last boss after what felt like an almost impossible feeling without knowing to dash to avoid attacks. Needless to say, it was a great experience and might be a game I whip out with some friends in the near future.

Might I ask which character? I've only beated it with Temjin (my series favorite) and Grys-Vok (aka Belgdor from V/O)

I'm 100% positive I already beat Jackal this year, but it wasn't on my list so I gave it a go. Had a near perfect game and didn't have a single "Here?" end of level.

Beat Mike Tyson by decision, but isn't that the only way you can beat the guy? Either way, it is hard to believe how well this game has aged. The music, the graphics, the cut scenes, and the characters are all pretty much perfect. As much as I love Punch-Out! on the Wii and Super Punch-Out!, they're just upgrades of an already almost perfect game.

I won by TKO in the third round when I bat the game. I even have the moment saved on my stream channel

Ain't it true. They really nailed it the first time around (well, second if we count the arcade game).

I have to say that whilst I like Punch-Out!!, I find Super Punch-Out to be superior in just about every way.

As far as I knew, the "YEAH!" and "Here?" end of level scenes were totally random. Do they come up after specfic level requirements?

I've been playing Jackal since it was released and I've only received the "YEAH!!!" screen when I didn't die during a boss battle. Pretty positive the only requirement to get that screen is to not die during a boss battle. Simple as that.

Another SNES RPG down! I played this one years ago while in middle school but never managed to beat it. So finally, over 15 years later, I have succeeded! Zog is dead, Tyr has been defeated, and the Light Dragons once again reign supreme over the evil Dark Dragons! And I did it with Ryu at level 29... I admit that I was somewhat surprised by how easy this game was, considering I remember it being much more difficult. But then I was 12, so...not really that surprising I suppose. The game also isn't great about telling you where to go next and feels a little disjointed at times, though it ultimately comes together for a satisfying finale.

Oh, and Agni pretty much breaks the game. Puka was pretty bad, but Agni made the final boss a pushover.
