10 Shockingly Simple Ways To Defeat Gaming's Toughest Bosses
2. Mike Tyson (Mike Tysons Punch-Out!!)
It should come as no surprise that Mike Tysons Punch-Out!!, a game that hit the NES way back in 1987, should end with a gruelling clash with The Baddest Man on the Planet himself. Indeed it was in this era that Iron Mike was still 31-0 with only four of his fights going the distance perhaps if Nintendo had developed the game a decade later an alcohol-addled Tyson would have made for a less brutal boss battle. Though we have seen him since in Fight Night Round 4, it is this virtual version of the former heavyweight king which will go down as the undisputed champ outsizing Little Mac by some 5-feet and at least 350-lbs. A suitably taxing finale to a game which had plenty of other difficult challenges like Bald Bull and Mr. Sandman. Easy Route To Victory As with many video gaming bosses, the key here is to know Tysons exact attack sequence it is this knowledge that will effectively turn him from the Iron Mike of 87 to the rather more beatable Mike of the early 2000s. Initially Tyson will come out trying to hit Macs head off with his trademark uppercut. You must dodge this blow and hit him on the same side he has thrown the uppercut from; otherwise he will be invulnerable. You must then time a follow up punch to secure the perfect amount of damage. Repeating this method will eventually get a knockdown which will trigger Mike to get back up and start throwing more wild combos. Once again the trick here is to dodge and counter actually engaging with the heavyweight is suicide. Repeating this formula will eventually result in a relatively straightforward victory.
