Absolutely brilliant game, top shelf from the NES but of course it also can't escape at least one NES-ism, which is how a couple of the later enemies (cough cough Bald Bull) practically need a guide.

Huge shoutouts to /u/Nowhere, who booted it up after me, raced me, and embarrassed me by beating it the same day; relaying info to me about stuff like Bald Bull and Tyson.

And of course the bearded person and photographer in the crowd for letting me know when to OHKO Honda and Bull.

Mike Tyson is a terrible fight, that's all.

Beaten via Mesen core on RetroArch w/ 2 frames runahead and 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller (over 2.4G dongle). No save states except to skip Macho Man once I began perfecting him and fight Tyson.
