Punch-Out!! Title Defense: King Hippo

[wightknight121]

oh god Hippo's back

[JCBjr15]

well the reason for head armor is that in boxing back then and i think now, if you lost 100 times in your career you were forced to where headgear as embarrassment

[xenariz]

*spoiler* kill the tape :)

*end spoiler*

[eboy0j9]

What happened if King Hippo wear his manhole AND the headgear? He would become World Champion?

[POTATER1228]

NAh since Sandman can break apart buildings with his bare hands

[luomoroc]

Who is king hippos trainer.... Panama Lewis??

[SmashX5000]

Wow, you're too much of an idiot to realize it's not even me playinggg

[IAMKINGHIPPO]

cool

[LolTater]

When I fought this guy, I couldn't quite figure out how to get that manhole off.

So I punched him in the face once at the start and then just dodged for the rest of the match and won by decision.

[silverboi2006]

LOL, that's one way to do it!

[GreystoneMedia]

@LolTater the manhole part is SO EASY. You can get it off him in LESS than 30 seconds. It's the changeup in his pattern that's slightly harder.... I got random stars against him, IIRC... when he leaves his X mark on his stomach open HOOK with the OPPOSITE side of the opening... he's been doing RANDOM punches against me so it's hard for me to predict if he's going right or left...

[zombieman841]

Only in Punch-Out is taping a manhole to your chest in a boxing match legal.

[Grug16]

Only in punchout is swinging a weighted boxing glove like a flail legal.

[zombieman841]

Who does that move?

[Grug16]

Title defense Aran Ryan

[zombieman841]

Ah, thx. Must've missed that video.

[manbearpig74012]

only in punchout is wearing facial armor egal during a match.

although glass joe is a hopeless case without it so i would allow it in real life.

[Shitthesame]

Ok........ Lol?

[remanuelmr]

go to the hell you fucking son of a bitch,to vxXDanmanXxv

[rubberFUCKmyFACE]

NO U

[remanuelmr]

i cant beat disco kid from title defense

[Shitthesame]

The guy who is playing this sucks o.o

[jorgabmom]

talk about unfair

[roller6902]

huh....

well according to other vids i saw....

u gotta punch him in the gut with the same fist 3 times....

soon a strap breaks....

then do it 2 more times,then u can punch him in the gut

[jorgabmom]

nevermind i actually saw the vid and forgot to delete the comments. sorry

[hippiecowman]

Manhole cover+ducky tape= D-fence

[jvu956x]

first u make a punch in the face right side then punches his body right side 3-4 times and 1 tape come off

then u punch 2 times in teh face and after in the body which side depends on which u stroke the punch in teh face then the third time its one punch in the head right or left side then teh oposite side on the body =) then his shield is gone and u can beat him easy

[eurohim]

Mac needs some body armor.

[chrisserchrist]

what's the point of this video? it's retarded.

[SmashX5000]

To show what King Hippo's like in Title Defense.

[chrisserchrist]

so it is pointless.

[SmashX5000]

The point is what King Hippo is like in Title Defense. Therefore it has a point. Therefore it is not pointless, unless you are too mentally retarded to understand that.

So, let me ask: Are you two mentally retarded to realize that? Or are you just trying to make an ass of yourself?

[rubberFUCKmyFACE]

*too

[WhatTheCucumber]

@SmashX5000

Two?

[OxBigly2010]

@chrisserchrist It showed me how to dodge the Hippo charge, now I know how to beat him

[jvu956x]

he is very easy to beat :p

[irbb07]

ok then how do u beat it?

[SiLeNtDo0m]

You punch the manhole cover off.

[MrMii100]

GAH! This battle was annoying as fuck. =S

I'm surprised I beat it at all.

[Marrioluigi500]

ok his weakness is that you need get the tape off (i think)

[ColorPrinter42]

I love how after the player realizes he can't him in the stomach, he just kinda stands there in that "oh crap" kind of way.

[Megaman765]

I think I know his weakness. When he does his second double punch, That manhole falls down. You can hear him pulling it up so I'm guessing you gotta hit him fast

[SuperMarioDs65]

My Guess on his new weakness has something to do with his new crown.

[jakethepit]

nope. * SPOILERS *

in the new video, it shows that you can hit him in the mouth, then hit him in the stomach to knock the TAPE of the manhole off. After 3 tries, the entire manhole falls off.

[ColorPrinter42]

So wait, it's even more like a freakin' BOSS BATTLE now?!?

[PsychoJosh]

Um, all the fights are boss battles. That's what Punch-out's all about.

[KlayMan2007alt]

The lack of Mario as the ref makes me sad...

[SmashX5000]

Yes, because I've seen an N64 game that looks this good.

[bolandjf]

Don't insult N64, it looked great for it's time. This is a bit more like sega saturn. :P

[Edsanji]

Are u kidding????

U must be crazy or a 360/PS3 lover....

Lame

[PsychoJosh]

No, he's right, the graphics are garbage. Like all Wii games it makes up for it by faking it and being heavily artistically stylized instead of actually looking technically good.

[SmashX5000]

Wii Graphics may not be as high quality, but they're good.

[PsychoJosh]

As I said they make up for not having technically proficient graphics by cranking up the artistic style of their games. Brawl made up for having poor graphics by having high-quality textures on their models, this game makes up for it by having a colorful cartoon aesthetic.

[garvensman]

wii's graphics are not garbage. Unless you think all graphics pre 360/PS3 are garbage, then that is just ignorant.

[PsychoJosh]

No, the original Xbox also had good graphics. The Gamecube and PS2 had terrible ones.

[garvensman]

Well the Wii has better specs than the original Xbox, so you need to decide if both Wii and Xbox have shitty graphics, or both have good graphics.

[PsychoJosh]

It's the hardware of two gamecubes literally taped together. So Xbox has good graphics while Wii still has shitty ones. Simple as that.

[garvensman]

I've taken my Wii apart, to clean Iraqi dust out of it. Guess what? No tape, and no 2 gamecube motherboards. Just one motherboard with more than twice the horsepower of Gamecube. And BTW, the Xbox was Barely more powerful than the Gamecube to begin with. RE4 and TP looked better than most if not all Xbox games. Certainly Halo 2.

[PsychoJosh]

Ha, yeah, right. It seems we're delving into the world of opinion and not fact. Until I see some Wii games that look like Doom 3 or Riddick, a bad graphics machine it shall remain. F-Zero GX was one of the best-looking games on the Gamecube and it looked like crap in comparison to Quantum Redshift, which they again circumvented by giving the game high-quality textures.

I really don't honestly believe we're arguing about the Wii's graphics, this is an utterly pointless endeavor.

[SmashX5000]

The Wii has more power than the original Xbox. You keep saying Wii is crap, but at the same time you praise the Xbox. By that logic, PS3 is shit and Atari is the best ever.

[PsychoJosh]

I haven't seen the Wii do anything to display its power if it really is NOT just two gamecubes taped together. The picture is always blurry, the models in each game always have tons of visible polygons and it always gives a crappy antialiased look to everything. If it really does have better specs than the original Xbox it's not doing a good job at showing them.

[SmashX5000]

1. I've never seen a blurry game on the system, excluding shovelware.

2. Only when close-up. Brawl, The Conduit, and Mario Galaxy look fine. Even Punch-Out looks fine when not showing close-ups.

3. If you really knew what you were talking about, you could do a little research and see that it has betters specs and games that look better than on the old Xbox.

[PsychoJosh]

Yawn... again, nothing but opinion, opinion. I don't care what anyone says because the Conduit looks like a late-generation PS1 game that tries to cover up its graphical shortcomings with tons of gritty, messy textures. Brawl, Galaxy and Punch-Out all look godawful on an HDTV, let alone an SDTV. Even my Wii fanboy friends say they can't stand how blurry Brawl looks. It's amazing that a Wii emulator can do HD yet the genuine article can't do that to save its life.

[SmashX5000]

4. Did I ever claim they were? No, so maybe I'm not so fucking blind compared to you.

5. Your poing?

6. It's more powerful than the original Xbox, and has games that look better than on Xbox. Just because you can't accept that doesn't mean you need to base arguments on opinion, ignore facts, then bitch about other people's opinions. Dumbass.

7. In games where developers actually try and make good looking games, it's better than Xbox.

8. You started talking about it, dumbass. We just counter it.

[PsychoJosh]

It can have better specs and still have games that look like crap. In fact it has those in spades, because obviously graphical power wasn't something the designers focused on when they created the Wii, moron. They were even up-front about it saying that they don't care about how powerful it is. So I reiterate, it is literally the equivalent of two Gamecubes taped together, there are original Xbox games that look better than the entire Wii's library, talking about Wii graphics is a waste of time.

[SmashX5000]

1. You say it's just opinion, then bash the Conduit's graphics, which have been getting a lot of praise? And I thought you actually could make an argument...

2. Those games look fine on my HDTV, and again, have all gotten praise for their looks. Then again, me being fine with it may be due to my poor eyesight.

3. It can't do HD because it doesn't have the appropriate tools to do so.

[SmashX5000]

Gah, my replies are out of order. Oh well, the second one should be first.

[glubgluby1]

FIRST off, you uniformed idiot you

There are no blurry games

secondly, I know what you mean when you talk about polygons, but those only show on the things that require more screen space. Kinghippo is one of them

And the game is still awesome.

If you havent played it i pity you.

the wii is an amazing system, albeit the online sucks on most games, the singleplayer is still fantastic

[eurohim]

I own a PS3, but the graphics in this game are good enough for me. I come from the Atari and 8bit days, so gameplay means a lot more to me than graphics.

[kokirihin]

tape!!!!!

[Lionman666]

I think you must survive 2 rounds, plaster cant stay many time in the body of a fat guy doing exercice

[HakuryuVision]

I wonder what it is like on Hippo Islands...

[Rubberman202]

There's probably an abundance of food there.

[HakuryuVision]

Haha, Hippo Island population:

1 (due to overwhelming food consume)

Now that he lost his abillity to talk somehow he became more interresting.

[Rubberman202]

Yeah, especially considering he can talk jsut fine in the last game...

Then again, all the other characters were able to speak English in the last game, yet in this game, they speak their own native language. They probably thought a big grunting, roaring, laughing King Hippo was the best way to go.

[Cyrax19880]

wow! king hippo returns... and WTF!!?? it's cheating jaja XD!!

[Rubberman202]

Is there a rule that says you can't duck tape a manhole cover onto your stomach?

[geekgo4]

Well, there weren't any rules about kicking or using stick, so...

[Rubberman202]

Oh?

[hyliaman]

Is that even legal??

[SmashX5000]

Everything is legal in the WVBA. Jumping kicks, spitting in peoples eyes, and now this. :P

[M30W3R]

Signing up without giving place of birth or age.

[AmericanBrawler18]

Don't forget wooden sticks as weapons!

[ED24Super]

oh and steroid soda.

don't forget steriod soda.

[Rubberman202]

Some people were expecting something to keep his pants from falling, but then again, covering your weak point is even better than that, isn't it? And with a manhole cover of all things!
