Punch Out!! (Wii) - Mr. Sandman - Hooks Only Challenge

A request from AbeX300 was to play through all the fights and try to use only body blows against everyone. I don't have the time to record and transfer all the matches, but I enjoyed this match so much that I decided to record it anyways.

The basic rules are:
-No jabs
-No star punches (count as an uppercut)
-Try to not get a Decision win (not possible for some fighters; TD Hippo can't even be a decision win).
-Dodges, ducks, and blocks are ok.

The match was kind of a joke. He attacks quickly, so I just counter with a hook even quicker. He can't really do too much unless I mistime a punch (happens maybe 3-4 times through entire match). Also, I exploited his "infinite stun" every single chance I got for a TKO in R2.

EDIT: Sandman got punched in the gut 170 times.

Gotta love that glitch.

[zallard1]

@wario356 What? There were no glitches in this fight.

[wario356]

@zallard1 Isn't the infinite combo a glitch?

[zallard1]

@wario356 Nope. The same thing is doable in the NES game... to an extent. It happens when you dodge the uppercuts very fast.

[lakaisaveslives]

not even that hard

[zallard1]

Yeah, it was pretty easy

TELL YOUR FACE . . .

[dmnt9]

that's not exactly "only hooks", on the final animation Mac does an uppercut...

xD

[KainPyrotic]

In the original it was possible to do so with the quick dodge, something I don't think they kept in the series. Quick dodging was hitting the opposite direction as soon as you finished a dodge, and was incredibly effective versus the Sandman and Don Flamengo fights.

@Vincentrockz1 no you need to dodge his dream land uppercut (3 hit combo) as fast as you can but dont get hit then you keep punching him if you get hit it wont work trust me i played this game and finished it but my one of my profiles is retired
