The reason why Tyson got the boot was because he lost his champ title when James "Buster" Douglas dethroned him in 1990 of that year. This is also resulted in Tyson's contract with Nintendo to be slashed for losing. That's why The Dream fellow was made. If your curious to know, he fights in the same manner as Tyson does in the game, being the only obvious difference is he's white. Actually Nintendo didn't cut the contract. The original contract had run out in 1990, and instead of financing another contract in order to release the game, they decided that his loss to Buster Douglass and some of the character "issues" he was having made going after another contract not worth it.

What I find funny is how much of a machine Buster was when he took out Tyson but after he won the belt, he became a total out of shape slob and no one ever heard from him again. Didn't he have his own Genesis game?

I lost to him once then beat him. Then lost to Mike once and then beat him. It's funny because back in the day I played it for months before finishing it. And here I picked it up years later and it took me about 1 1/2 hours.

sadly it's not enough to be a closed-captioning typer...

iirc they need to do 220 words/minute

Tyson just looked slow and tired during that fight.

I always remember Douglass in shape (but things you remember as a kid are not always true as an adult) I know that Tyson was definetly out of shape for sure. Link, Piston Honda the second time around? I think the best way to beat him is to use the same method you used to beat him the first time. When he does his fruity little hop hop hop (this time he recovers quicker) Hit him in the face right before he's about to hit you. Kind of like with Bald Bull only you hit him in the FACE not the STOMACH.

System 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 74809	Isn't Soda Popinski one of those guys you have to punch/counterpunch on? Like, you hit him, he tries to hit you, you block, and score a good hit? And I too, have beaten Mike Tyson, only through the virtue of TKO. Has anyone knocked him out?

adventure_of_link 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 9769	OK Reaper: I just beat Sodapopinski (Freaking finally, if I may add) We're up to fighting the Bald Bull, AGAIN.

System 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 74809	Sorry dude, I got too busy and never got around to fighting him again to find out. Right now I'll go try Bald Bull, though and report back in a half hour or so.

System 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 74809	Mostly its just the same punch to the gut routine when he does his bull charge you used last time, only he's a lot faster this time around. Definetly a lot harder, it took me awhile to defeat him.

System 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 74809	i remember that crappy Buster Douglas game for the genesis,it was as hard as Punchout..All they did was took some boxing game that was out before( i think it was out in the Arcades)added Buster Douglas character into the game and boom he have his own game just like that...
