Reset this cheevo so I could get it legit. Seems that it triggers after you lose by KO on a rematch.

KO Conditions from mPAP's gamefaqs guide:

1) Get the 6th knockdown with Little Mac at full HP

2) Get the 6th knockdown (random)

Can be just as frustrating as Sandman, but at least there is a 100% chance option, if you can manage it.

Easier on real hardware... tough, but fun!

JimShoes 25 Aug 2023 01:15

Finally popped this one. I agree, definitely easier on actual hardware.

The most challenging achievements I've got so far! (even harder than jumping the rope 1000 times in FFIX looool)

The solution was to memorize all that Mike does and practice lots in softcore modes with different save states.
The main problem is round 1, the first 90 seconds because you can't fail, then when the winking starts, it's kinda easier to dodge and attack and if you manage to reach round 2, it'll just get easier and easier because you can deal more damage.
Just focus on doing a great job in round 1 with 2 knockdowns and 95% accurate hits.

Here's some vids that might help for Mike or any other boxers you are having problems with and even a reaction time test in case you are worried about it just like I was(if you are around 200-250ms like me, you'll be ok. However, pro gamers are somewhere around 150-200ms (damn bastards lol)

I have thus far TKO'd Mike 2 times in the 3rd round with him getting back up every single time.....

Can somebody tell me to be proud or miffed about this?

CloserClover 16 May 2024 05:30

Done and Dusted.

4 months..... no, 3 months and 24 days of pain, misery, sweat, blood and tears is finally over.
was it worth it?
debatably....

For anyone attempting this, the 1st round is the round that determines whether you get the 6 knockdowns necessary for this achievement.

The pattern is random, But the pattern you need for you to be able to knock mike 2 times in the 1st round is:

0:05 seconds : Dodge to the left and respond with two left uppercuts.

0:10 seconds : Dodge to the left and respond with two right uppercuts.

After this there should be a volley of fast Uppercuts from mike, If there isn't, or there's a delay, start over. Anyway [
The first fast uppercuts after the 0:10 second mark : Dodge to the left and respond with two left uppercuts.

The 2nd fast uppercuts after the 0:10 second mark : Dodge to the left and respond with two left uppercuts.

the 3rd fast uppercuts after the 0:10 second mark : Dodge to the left and respond with two right uppercuts.

the 4th fast uppercuts after the 0:10 second mark : Dodge to the left and respond with two right uppercuts.]

Dodge one last time after all this to be sure there isn't a 5th (The 5 second uppercut variant gives you enough time to knock mike two times, But it's way more unpredictable)

After this there should be a pause, Right up until the 0:42 second mark, when the music syncs (Or you get the second mark timing down) : Dodge to the left and respond with two left uppercuts.

A "VERY" slight pause from mike again (roughly the 0:47 second mark) : Dodge to the left and respond with two right uppercuts.

After this mike should throw a volley of fast uppercuts, whether he throws 4, 5 or 6 doesn't matter (In my experience he threw 4 more often), At this point, you finally can without doubt knock him down two times in the round if you get these right.
Anyway for the 1st fast uppercut : Dodge to the left and respond with two left uppercuts.

Pouria 16 Jul 2024 07:53

dang the word limit, As I was saying :

2nd fast uppercut : Dodge to the left and respond with two left uppercuts.

3rd fast uppercut : Dodge to the left and respond with two right uppercuts.

4th fast uppercut : Dodge to the left and respond with two right uppercuts.

I didn't have the foresight to record the last 20 second of half round to write about them (They tended to be a little unpredictable), But here are all the facts I know for certain :

If you knock Mike down at below the 1:28 second mark (In the 1st round), You have 1 chance to mess up at the second half of the 1st round to knock him down twice.
If you knock Mike down at below the 1:26, 1:27 second mark (Again only in the 1st round), You do not have to worry about him going for one last fast uppercut.

In the 2nd round, If mike does a right (From your point of view) fast upper cut and you have a star punch, You can use it after the hitting him for the 5th time without him retaliating.

In the 3rd round, the moment the round start and mike drops his hands, DODGE, he will attack you without fail.
If you get knocked down in round 3 and get back up, He will also immediately attack you after he drops his hands.

Everyone best of luck.

If anybody knows how I can upload the videos of me attempting this, Please tell so I can finally be free of this damned burden of knowledge.

kaspercool 29 Jul 2024 09:34

NekroG 30 Jul 2024 01:14

I can confirm that you can take damage. You need to knock him down twice in each round and have full health on the last knock down.

-Round 1: One important tip that no one seems to mention is that when you dodge his lightning uppercuts, you'll cause more damage if you hit him on his "open side." For example, if he throws a right, counter with your left, if he throws a left, counter with your right. Also very important, when you dodge, you can get back in front of him faster by pressing left / right. For example, if you dodge to the left and tap right, you'll come back in front of him faster and have a better chance to counter. So yeah, send him on the carpet twice in this round and don't get knock down.

-Round 2: He'll start the round with a few quick jabs. You can block those by holding down, and if you counter almost immediately with a left punch to the belly, it will always give you a star. You can easily get 3 stars this way once you get the timing right, and it's not a difficult timing to master—you need to respond almost simultaneously as you block the jab. To my knowledge, this only works with your left arm/punch.

At 1:30 and 2:30, he will blink and throw a series of punches. You can punch him in the face when he blinks to get an easy star, then you can block and counter each following punches with 4 of your own (in the face). So he blinks, you block, punch him four times, block, punch him four times... The goal in Round 2 is to lower his energy significantly so you can knock him down quickly in Round 3.

-Round 3: Knock him down once, then lower his energy so that he only needs a few punches to go down. Let him knock you down, and get up at 9 (you can use the Turbo Buttons on your controller at 8 to get up on 9). Normally, you'll get up with full health, so don't take any more damage, and finish him off.

Not sure if the KO is random if you take damage, but I was able to KO him on my first try this way, while taking damage.

Hope that helps!

round 1 is the only real hard part of the fight, had to learn how to hit the 1 frame connectors on the uppercuts to counteract the rng of an 8 second delay, hit him in his open side and do the delay to do an extra 4 damage, hitting 2-3 of these should make the first knockdown happen before he starts throwing hooks even with an 8 second delay.

after that its mostly trivial, get 2 knockdowns in round 2 and leave him low for round 3, get 1 knockdown and do a ton of damage then take a knockdown and get up at 9 to refill your hp bar and then dodge his next 2 uppercuts to win, even if u get hit you can rng the ko as a hail mary or eat another knockdown

good luck

Finally popped this! What a rush. Went from impossible to improbably to highly unlikely back to impossible to suddenly happening.

Thanks for all the tips in the comments super helpful!

The one cheevo you dont think is possible till he doesnt get up. WOW A feeling you will never be able to replicate.
