5 Impossible Video Game Difficulty Spikes No-One Saw Coming

1. Punch Out Arcade - Bald Bull

You might call it favouritism that I’ve put Bald Bull - aka a man who looks exactly like my dad - at the top spot, but trust me when I tell you this guy can literally knock the spine out of your body. Which is painful.

This guy is a spike on which you will absolutely impale your fists, because up until this point you’ve battled foes which can be taken down by standing and slugging. Bull will punish you for this and knock you clean on your ass if you’re not paying attention to his Bull Charge.

It’s a fight that can be made infinitely easier if you learn the timing to counter his assault, but to many players in the arcade this was the moment which would start devouring your quarters like delicious party pills. I mean candy. Yup: candy.
