I never played Super Punch-Out so I don’t know if Doc showed up in it or not but it’s not really Punch-Out to me without the Doc. Anyway after buying my Wii the one game I hoped Nintendo would revisit would be Punch-Out. It was the one game I really bought a Wii for because I just knew Nintendo wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to not use the motion controls for a new Punch-Out.
After a few years of waiting Nintendo finally delivered with Punch-Out Wii. At this time I could care less about motion controls so I was excited as all hell when I learned you could use the Wii-Mote sideways NES style. Still I was hesitant to get truly excited, would it have the one character that stood out in my mind? I was later happy to learn that good old Doc Louis would be making a comeback as well. At this point I already knew I was going to get the game but Doc Louis being in it made me happier than if a Japanese school girl had shown up right in front of me.
Needless to say Nintendo delivered. Not only is Doc Louis just as awesome as I remember but he’s even got a real voice now! I think the voice actor for the Doc did an excellent job, he sounds just like I imagined he would. If Nintendo decided to do a remake of Super Punch-Out and if Doc Louis wasn’t in the original I would hope that they’d put him in it.
First of all, the character is hilarious. Here is this tub-o-guts stomping toward you like a bat out of hell and all you can do is pray to King Kamehameha that he does not eat you.
Secondly, he was the first character to give me a run for my money. I was rather surprised at how he truly enlightened me to the core of Punch-Out - timing, strategy, and pattern recognition. King Hippo is the gold standard for teaching folks what is to come.
Finally, he is cute as a button, and I want to hug him.
Let me hug him in that awesome t-shirt.
And he's not a complete stereotype.

HE'S FUCKING MIKE TYSON, HE'S STILL FUCKING GOT IT.
HE CAN STILL FUCKING LIVE THE DREAM.
And the first time I beat him, was the day he bit that guy's ear off in a boxing match. Irony.

Why is this underdog irish man so iportant to me?
You see, one of the first things you will notice about him when facing in Super Punch-Out!! is that he does not have any real visual characterization at all aside being a redhead.
But once you have a time with him in the ring, well, he is such a freaking pushing bastard. He has one of the dirtiest tricks of leeching out your life after getting hit by a star punch, and then hit you with a swift uppercut. Talking about a hateful bully.
The most surprising part is that he made it on the Wii version despite of being uncharacteristic but still VERY easy to differ with the others in fighting style, and how did they updated him?
Making him a hateful bastard once again, and this time on a more literal sense of being a cheater. And I mean, seriously, when he knocks you down, he knees down to make fun of you while struggling to get up! What a god damn jerk!
And why do I love to hate someone so much in a videogame? Well, simple. because in this game you have all the right of punching him in the fucking face. With enough experience of course.
I felt bad for him...
Soda Popinski, Vodka's cousin, is a close second, but my number one pick still has to go to the original pink booze hound.
ITS FUCKING DONKEY KONG!!!
And if you give the shirt to me, I promise to actually play some games with you next FNF. :]
Little Mac's someone a lot of people can relate to. He's small, but he's got a big heart. He's willing to train with all his might to be the best. The other fighters are like bullies, towering giants that dwarf our (already dwarfed) hero. When you start that game, you feel like that entire 8-bit audience is laughing at poor Little Mac. There's no way he can win. But when you beat everyone, and Mario comes out and proclaims Mac the winner, hell yes. It's awesome. A modern day David to Tyson's Goliath.
Seriously, how can you not love that guy?
Sorry, Johnathan, but I think ethics bars Destrutoid editors from entering contests like these :P
That fucking laugh. It was so gratifying to win after that laugh.
My favorite is Don Flamenco, have you played both Punch Out (NES) and Punch Out (Wii)? At NES, he was a joke (the first fight), too easy. Second fight was a little more intense with tricky punches, although you couldn't take him too serious because of his face.
In Wii, he has become a great contender (specially in the middle of the fight *I'll keep spoilers put of my comment*) with super strong and fast punches. But that's not all, Don Flamenco's voice acting is one the greatest! With phrases like "Carmen, mi amor" (Carmen my love) and "Maaami" (Momy) is both Dangerous and Hilarious, one of the most funniest fights I had in "POWii".
In my eyes, it is a damn shame that he was not the ref in the new Punch Out!! reboot.
Overall: Punch Out!! was Mario's best role to date.
