Let's touch 'em up!

Circuit 1

Big Gip

Challenge Restrictions

- Win in Round 1
- Must TKO
- No Lightning KO
- Can't get Hit Gip's fight is great for practicing your moves and getting used to the game. Practice high punch, low punch, dodging and blocking.

Start out by giving gip 5 high hits, then 5 low, repeat until he goes down.

When Gip gets back up, for the second and third time, watch out for his new gun holster attack.

If Gip reaches for his gun before the fight actually starts, you must be ready to dodge to the left the second the match starts to avoid his punch.

After avoiding his gun holster punch, repeat the 5 high, 5 low combo to take him down.

Star Punch: Hook punch Gip Left or Right while he is idling to obtain a "Star Punch"(One full level of Super Meter Power) Back to top

El Bulli

Challenge Restrictions

- Win in Round 1
- Must TKO
- No Lighnting KO
- No Dizzy Combo
- Double Damage

At the start of the round, dodge to avoid bulli's swings, combo punch after the combo, then immediately taunt to increase your super meter.

Continue this strategy while throwing in supers once your meter is maxed out.

After Bulli gets up, watch for his mustache to twitch during his idle, when this animation occurs, quickly throw a low punch for a one hit knockdown.

One Bulli gets up for the last time, dodge to avoid his punches, then counter with combos until he goes down.

Note: It's important to dodge rather than block as this will increase your super meter, allowing you to use more supers, and take Bulli down in less time.

Weak Spot: After Bulli is knocked down once, he will occasionally twitch his mustache while idling. A low punch to Bulli's Stomach during the mustache twitch will cause an instant knockdown. Back to top

Dynamo

Challenge Restrictions

- Win in Round 1
- Can't Dodge
- Can't Block
- No Super Punch
- Double Damage
- Can't get back up

Punch dynamo in the face until he dodges, pause for just the slightest amount of time (maybe a half second) then throw another punch and repeat, using this strategy Dynamo will never land a punch on you.

Weak Spot: Dyanomo's weak spot can be hit only once, the first time he goes to charge his super punch.

Knock down Dynamo once, when he flexes and charges his super punch, wait until just moment before he swings, and give him a low punch to the stomach for an instant knockdown.

This will only work the very first time Dynamo attempts to charge his super punch. Back to top

Circuit 2

15 Cent

Challenge Restrictions

- No Super
- Cannot Get Up
- No Lighnting KO
- Must use dizzy combo

In order to beat 15's challenge he must first be dizzied.

The quickest way to dizzy 15 is to dodge all of his punches -- you should not block or be hit. It's also essential that none of your punches are blocked or miss their target during this encounter. Each time any of these things occur the chances of dizzying 15 will be reduced.

When the match starts, dodge away from 15's slaps and counter with a combo. Again, make sure to stop as soon as the last punch of the combo has finished. Punching again will cause 15 to dodge or counter, thus reducing the chance of dizzying him.

Continue to dodge then counter until 15 is dizzied. Once he is dizzied, notice his star indicators. Follow the pattern by using a right handed hook punch then hook left then hook right again. This will complete his dizzy combo and knock him down.

When 15 gets up the first and second time, use the same strategy as his Circuit fight, but again make sure you are not hit and all of your punches find their mark. Keep this up until 15 is dizzy, then follow the same star pattern from before for his dizzy knockdown (right hook, left hook, right hook). Back to top

Chief

Challenge Restriction

- Can't get hit

Using the same strategy as circuit mode, remember to taunt after every counter combo. Once you have saved up a full super meter, charge the super until you see a white flash. Unleashing a level 3 super on cheif will cause a Lightning KO, and the match will end. Back to top

Voo Dude

Challenge Restrictions

- Must TKO
- No Dizzy Combo

Strategy forthcoming Back to top

Bigger Gip

Challenge Restrictions

- Win in Round 1
- Must KO
- Double Damage

This match will require skill above all, just as in the circuit match block at all times and counter gips combo's. If Gip crouches in the corner, get ready to dodge, and counter. Keep this up, and attempt to knock down Gip with a super punch each time he is knocked down.

Note: You may only taunt once, taunting again will cause Gip to counter attack.

Weak Spot: Taunt Gip, then immediately low punch him for an instant knockdown.

This can only be performed once, all subsequent taunts will cause Gip to counter attack with a flurry of punches. Back to top

Ka-rak Ubones

Challenge Restrictions

- Can't Block
- Must KO

This match will require skill and knowledge of Ka-rak's tells and attacks.

The fact that the KO Kid is unable to dodge, means that in addition to Karak's facial tells (detailed in the circuit strategy) you will have to watch for the falling rock rubble.

When Karak runs off screen watch carefully, a small bit of harmless rock rubble will fall from the sky. This will indicate where the large boulders will fall from. Dodge left and right accordingly.

Remember to taunt after finishing each combo and use as many supers as possible in order to increase the chances of KO'ing Karak.
Always use a Super Punch to knock Karak down. Back to top

Shogun

Challenge Restriction

- Can't get hit

Use the exact same strategy as circuit mode. (block all light mode attacks, directionally dodge all dark mode attacks).

Keep this up to TKO Shogun.

Alternate: It is possible to quickly Lightning KO Shogun in challenge mode, in order to do this start the match by taunting and attempt to save up at least 1 super. (Dodge any punches that come your way.)

When shogun enters dark mode, dodge all punches until he shows his tell.

Use a super punch during his tell to break him out of dark mode, which will dizzy shogun. At this point, give him one low punch to the stomach for the lightning KO. Back to top

Circuit 3

Sake Bomb

Challenge Restrictions

- Can't Dodge
- Can't Super Punch

Due to the fact that the KO Kid is unable to dodge in this match, you should keep your block up at all times until Sake starts his dash move.

Sake is only vulnerable to a knockdown during a special frame of animation during his second dash move. It will only take one carefully timed punch to knock him down.

If Sake jabs, you should block. If Sake starts his slow dash, get ready to block as this will end with an uppercut.

If Sake starts his fast dash (which will end with a flurry of punches) get ready to low punch.

When Sake starts his fast dash, wait for him to dash by once, then low punch. The timing here is fairly difficult and will take some practice. If you don't hit it after a few tries, try punching just a little bit slower or faster than you think you should.

If the punch is timed incorrectly Sake will punish you with a flurry combo. However, if timed correctly Sake will go down with the single punch. If he gets up again, repeat the strategy watching carefully for him to begin his fast dash.

Weak Spot: When Sake starts his fast dash, wait for him to dash by once, then low punch. The timing here is fairly difficult and will take some practice, if you don't hit it after a few tries, try punching just a little bit slower or faster than you think you should.

Star Punch: When Sake starts his slow dash, dodge then immediately punch after his attack, if timed correctly you will be rewarded with a full super/star punch. Back to top

Grogul

Challenge Restrictions

- Win in Round 1
- No Super Punch
- Can't get up
- No Dizzy Combo
- Double Damage

This fight will require skill and memorization, remember that "Elf Mode" Grogul will throw 2 or 4 punches depending on which arm he raises, just as he did in circuit mode. Carefully dodge these punches. (in order to increase your super meter, and thus reduce Grogul's life faster)

Use as many super's as possible in order to quickly reduce Grogul's life before round one ends. Back to top

Dr. Voo Dude

Challenge Restrictions

- Can't get hit

Following the circuit mode strategy will lead to a KO, eventually, however maintaining knockdowns on Tribal for 3 rounds without being hit is extremely difficult. Therefore the best Strategy is a Lightning KO.

Follow the circuit mode strategy but do not taunt, instead focus on making sure you combo the Docter each time there is an opening, and that he does not block. Eventually he will dizzy, perform his dizzy combo, then repeat for the second knockdown at which point he will Lightning KO. (Remember that you cannot block in order to Lightning KO the Docter, all punches must be dodged.)

Do not attempt to Taunt during the challenge fight, as this will leave the KO Kid vulnerable to attack, and will not help to Dizzy the Docter. Back to top

King Tub

Challenge Restrictions

- Win in Round 1
- Must TKO
- Double Damage

Follow the same strategy as Circuit mode, but attempt to dizzy tub without ever being hit, or blocking. All punches should be correctly dodged in order reduce the amount of time it will take to dizzy him, remember to counter combo after every one of Tub's punches in order to quickly TKO him before time runs out. Back to top

El Diablo

Challenge Restrictions

- No Super Punch
- Double Damage
- Can't get up

Hit El Diablo as quickly as possible to wear his life down. When you see the screen flash he will start to gain life back. You must immediately taunt at this point which will send El Diablo into a special state where he will do two quick punches followed by an opening where you have an opportunity for several more hits than normal.

After hitting him during this state, you must immediately taunt him again to send him into this state again. This must be done as quickly as possible to keep his life from regenerating.

If you are hit or miss an opportunity to hit El Diablo, you may as well start over as you will not have enough time to KO him.

This is by far the hardest match in the game as it requires you to play a perfect match for all three rounds.

Tha Shogun

Challenge Restrictions

- Can't get back up

Follow the same strategy as Circuit mode, blocking each of shoguns first punches while in light mode, and countering after he finishes his combo.

Dodge accordingly when he is in dark mode. Keep this up without being knocked down for the TKO.

Alternate: If you can manage to knock down shogun without taking a direct hit. (blocking is ok) he will Lighnting KO on the first knock down, this is the fastest way to finish this challenge. Back to top

Dynavolt

Challenge Restrictions

- Must TKO
- Double Damage

Double Damage Follow the circuit mode strategy, but all jabs must be dodged in order to build up Super Meter power. Blocking jabs will take away from the available super power, and make it impossible to TKO Dynavolt in 1 round. Back to top

Executioner

Challenge Restrictions

- Can't get hit

Follow the circuit mode strategy but dodge all attacks in order to build up super. Just after Executioner Laughs, dodge his double fisted attack, at this point you will have just a moment to taunt, then combo. Repeat this each time Executioner laughs, and continue to use Supers.

Make sure to use as many supers as possible, and always knock Executioner down using a Super Punch.

Keep this up without being hit by Executioner and he will Lightning KO the second time he is knocked down.
