It says in the SNES Super Punch Out Manual that he's from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, yet in the billing in the Wii Version, he's from Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada. WTF?
how come Bear Hugger and King Hippo are equally as fat, but Bear Hugger can get up on his feet again while King Hippo cant? they do roughly the same damage and have almost the same amount of health too.
intro: meet bear hugger he is a lumberjack who loves to drink maple syrup he also is freinds with a bear wuch helps him train for boxing, and from all that good training he has powerful attacks, will little mac beable to knock him down before bear hugger does the same to him?
i should hate this guy. i do hate this but i find him hilarious to beat up. and i love his music. i like it even more when your getting up, it SOOOOO EPIC
I don't see what's so bad about stereotyping Canadians as Bear Hugger.He's overweight,yes,but he looks cool to hang out with.He's my favorite character.
hahaha ! I'm french canadian from quebec and i have to say, though i don't think i ever saw someone drinking mapple syrup in my country, i do take ENORMOUS breakfast....
The best part about all of this; the character, the game, this video, and these comments are...well...I'm FROM Salmon Arm. Yes, it's a real town, and yes, it is a little more on the hick side of things. Not THAT hick, but around the same line. One of the programmers is from there, so he was lucky and got to put our little lake/mountain town on the map. =D
What's that attack called after he says "I'm gonna stomp ya!"? I know it's not a hook or jab, and definitely not an uppercut, but I don't know what it'd be called technically.
whenever he does the 0:43 thing with his face, starpunch him,, that will knock him down, no matter how many stars you have, try it! i dont have a capture device though, do you have to try it yourself
Four contestants of The Biggest Loser were fat as Bear Hugger, thus weighing over 400 pounds. They include Daniel Wright, Shay Sorrells, Rudy Pauls, and Sean Algaier.
Having gotten the game since first commenting 3 months ago, I can say Bear Hugger is a fun fight. I like the fact you can counter all his punches. That, and I do love the yell of "Salmon arm!"
Punch Out's about humourous stereotypes -- I'm Canadian too... and they seem to have confused "Canadian" with "Pirate"!
The tuke for Champion Defence was a nice touch though. Bear Hugger went from 'nasty kinda backwoods hick' in previous Punch Outs to 'only sorta nasty hick who'd be fun to hang out with'.
The people who made this version are Canadian. They even said this was making fun of their selves. Nintendo did do a lot of things with this game, but Next level games did most of the stuff.
Intro: Meet Bear Hugger, from Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada. In the morning he eats a FULL breakfast. He cuts down every tree in sight so there's enough firewood to last 3 winters. And when bears attack, he's not afraid, because the bear is just training him for his fights in the ring. Can Little Mac cut this country beast down to size.
Fun fact: Bear Hugger was originally planned to appear in the NES version, but since he was far too detailed for the NES to handle, King Hippo took his place instead.
Bear Hugger first appeared in the arcade Super Punch-Out!! which was released in 1985. He made a comeback appearance in the 1994 SNES release of Super Punch-Out!!. He was the first opponent in the 1985 arcade game and the second opponent in the 1994 SNES game. He was immune to body blows in his previous appearances. In this Wii game, he is not immune to body blows. He is more powerful in this game than in the 1994 SNES game but not as powerful as in the 1985 arcade game.
At the start of the match, hit him in the face for the star. Then, counterpunch his next move for with your star uppercut.The timing for this is important. You must hit "A" as he finishes reeling back for the swing. When you hit A, he should be about 3/4 completely reeled back.If done correctly, you will not only stop his attack. but also knock him down.
Ok, let's see where we stand: we faced a frail Frenchman, a traumatized German, a flamboyant dance-boxer, an obese island chief, and a tricky karate-boxer. Now we face...a Canadian hillbilly.
