I got this game today in the mail, as it looks like the Post Office doesn't work on saturdays anymore(well atleast not last saturday).
I almost thought I was about to breeze through the first circuit until I got beat down by King Hippo. Thats when I decided to open the instruction manual and actually look at the controls. After a few exhibition matched against King Hippo, fucked him up in the second round with like 1:30 left.
Started knockin people out left and right, with a small hiccup on Great Tiger, but my ego got checked at Don Flamenco. I don't know why I couldn't get his timing down, but he was helping me find a comfortable spot on the ring floor to take a nap. I must have restarted the 1st round about 10 times before I decided I was ready to fight him for real, and we went all the way till the 3rd round where I won by KO with about 1:00 left on the clock.
Have to take a break because all this punching in my hot as house is making me sweat.
Now I'm off to go handle the Big Boys, starting with Aran Ryan.
