Neat little trick where every attack can be intercepted with a star for a OHKD. The difficulty comes from
the fact that the windows to use these stars are incredibly small. This is the same strategy as before, just improved by
3 frames. The 2:54 first knockdown is actually frame perfect, so unless it's possible to save a frame in phase 2 or 3,
this fight is pretty much staying where it is unless a crazy new strategy's developed.

So no beating around the bush, this is pretty much the hardest fight to speedrun in the game. When Bald
Bull returns in title defense, he can only be knocked down with star punches; a nice little nod to MTPO's Bull 2. In order
to even complete the fight, you need to earn six frame perfect stars, dodge three times within a two frame window and
counter his uppercut within a three frame window. It can be agonizing to say the least, especially since you have to
optimise every single other movement in the fight. I've managed to get a knockdown at 2:38 but just never been able to
finish the fight after that due to how crazy this strategy is. I was 2 or 3 frames from a 2:38 knockdown in this fight.
Regardless, I'm more than happy with this time, this is my first sub 44. This time can go down to at least 43.75. Good
luck to those who'd like to try this fight out, you'll definitely need it. |
