Punch Out Retrospective: Piston Honda/Hondo

[SamuraiKnight10]

I've got a better question, WHO THE HELL PUNCHES A GUY WHOS BOWING? I know the bell has rung, but thats still dickish little mac. VERY DICKISH

[drmario520]

Okay one question, in the wii version piston honda only lost once...assuming it was to Mr Sandman(Champ) so if he has a "perfect" record why doesnt he fight bear hugger?

[pokehacker]

looks like hondo beat hippo and sent him back to the minors

[clubpenguin445]

In my wii,if you hit hondo on the body when he does the hondo rush,you only gain a star insteaf of 1 hit KOing him.

[giantshadow17]

i guess he still speaks random japanese...

should include the 2nd fight and title def and show his alternate or "wiggly" uppercuts

[oxe161]

well wat about E. Honda?

[SnDFrostey]

Hondo's theme is an arranged version of "Sakura, Sakura."

[blaktigr84]

Thanks a lot. I always wondered what he said at 3:47.

[Buliderman9]

When bowing, if you have the chance, throw a star punch at him and he'll go right down!

[t7clough]

Since when then robert de niro stared refreeing boxing matches

2:33

You do realize you could've just dragged a fight with Hondo on to Round 2 in Exhibition, right?

[StrawberryGuy86]

I loved how Piston Hondo showed off some Japanese food in the Title Defense mode intermissions! Stereotypes for the win!

[smartboy201]

Hondo has 6 "Mid-Round Intermission" Scenes... which I actually find very interesting.

[KingBowser22]

Piston Hondo should have been Major Curcuit Champ

[BluntmanEXE]

Couple of little tidbits:

1. In the NES version, the Hondo Rush was called the Piston Punch. And his uppercut was called the Kamikaze Punch. (I learned that from the Nintendo Player's Guide :P)

2. You forgot to mention Piston Hurricane, from the arcade version and Super Punch-Out on the SNES. He fought just like Piston Honda, except he was black, and was from Cuba.

[MrCrazyToad]

@BluntmanEXE I bet they switched it to the Hondo rush to make it based off the Hurricane rush.

[Persianpudding]

I gotta say. The theme mixing in the beginning of every episode is awesome.

[zigguaurt8]

how do you know its not a new character completly, they like to have new characters with names very similar to other ones, just kidding.

[mikeym5]

It's the same character. They just changed his name to avoid copyright infringement with the Japanese automaker, "Honda".

[zigguaurt8]

dude, i was making a joke.

[Pikazilla]

i noticed you have alot of stamina when fighting honda
