If I recall, super punch out was easier than regular, unless my reflex skills just improved from age ten to age sixteen, which is entirely possible. But I beat Super Punch Out, and regular Punch Out is still sitting somewhere in my parents' basement, luckily not smashed into tiny pieces by a frustrated little kid named "me."

I played a lot of both and it's true that the original was a lot harder. I just thought it was amazing how he guessed his times exactly on the first several fights and all. Just a mastery of the game that I could've never had at 12 years old.

While Super Punch-Out is easier, Zallard does mention that in all the time he practiced, he only beat it once blindfolded, and this is a guy who has mastered all the Punch-Out games. The way he ended up beating it on-camera was a crazy miracle, too. Both he and Sinister deserve lots of love.

Yeah, SDA's charity marathons are pretty great. It's fun to watch people take games I used to think I was pretty good at and hilariously demolish them while a live audience politely claps like they're watching golf.

They keep figuring out new ways to beat Ocarina of Time faster every year.

Yeah I was trying to think of any games I was ever really really good at, and the only one I can think of was Katamari Damacy.. the guy's record on here was 31:49 and I think I've beaten it in under 40.. I used to be so into that game.

Also how is 'impractical skillset' not a linked tag on poeTV?!?!

Oh man, I saw that one too. I don't usually like watching Let's Plays and all those "watch someone else play a videogame" things, but my god these people have practiced and practiced enough to make it an art.
