Minor Circuit
Glass Joe
Glass Joe
Glass Joe is the beginning of your journey. That being said, he isn’t that hard. This is basically your tutorial stage. Glass joe has 2 moves both of which can be dodged to the left.
Straight jab
When Glass Joe is guarding his face he will hit you with a straight jab. You can dodge in any way, Dodge left or right, duck or dodge. Then follow up with a combo. You can also counter Glass Joe with a right hook when he turns red and earn a star.
Left Uppercut
When Glass joe is guarding his body, he will hit you with an uppercut. This time you can only dodge left or right. He will hit you if you duck or block. However, you can counter him with a left hook to earn a star.
Taunt
Glass Joe will sometimes put his hand behind his back and laugh at you. Hit him with a jab to get a free star.
Taunt
What!? another taunt?! Yup, but this time you can use it to your advantage. Glass Joe will step to the side and say something like ” hey hey! Ze gra France” (please forgive me for my lack of french) When he comes back, time a right hook to instantly knock Joe down!!!
With Glass joe defeated move on to your next challenge, Von Kaiser!!!
Von Kaiser
Von Kaiser is a German boxer instructor. He was mentally scarred when he was beaten up by a bunch of little kids. He is essentially Glass Joe, but faster and stronger.
Wind Up Jab
Von Kaiser’s first move is to wind up and jab you. Just like Glass Joe you can dodge or block in any way. You can also jab or hook to the right for a star
Left Uppercut
Sound familiar? Tt should because this is the same as glass joe’s but a bit faster. Dodge left or right to avoid it. Ducking or blocking will get you hit. Time a left hook to counter Von Kaiser and get a star.
Scaredy Cat
If you stun Von Kaiser (dodge a move then hit him) and hit him once. He will cower behind his hands. When he says “Mommy” hit him with a right jab to get a star. Also use a three star punch when he says “mommy” to get an instant defeat.
Another tip, if you feel that you can’t get three stars, get one star, dodge one of his attacks , hit him once, then use the star for a knockdown. Do this three times for a TKO.
Von Kaiser was not a very great challenge. But the next contender is totally different. Do you think you can handle Disco kid?
Disco Kid
Disco Kid has the groove, but can you dance your way out of his punch?
Straight Jab
Disco Kid’s first move is to jab you. Like before, you can dodge in anyway. You can also hit Disco Kid with a left hook as he comes in for a star.
Right Hook
Finally something different! Disco Kid will come at you with a right hook. You can easily identify this move because he moves very far to the right. hit him with a right hook as he steps in for a star.
Taunt
Sometimes, Disco Kid Will spread his arms out like a movie star. When his teeth sparkle hit him with a jab for a free star.
Taunt
Wow another taunt. This time Disco Kid will twirl his arms and flash his teeth at you. When his teeth sparkle, hit him with a jab for a free star.
Did you interrupt his disco fever? Well grab your boxing gloves because it’s time for the minor circuit champ! King Hippo!!!
Minor Circuit Champion
King Hippo
King Hippo is the champ of the Minor Circuit. His weak spot is the little X on his belly. He guards it well, and you’ll have to take a different approach in order to claim that belt! After every attack, dodge, then hit him with a jab. Then you’ll have to hit him with hooks. (Note: I only know how to counter one of his moves, so sorry.)
Left and Right Downstroke
King Hippo will start his arsenal of attacks with this move. He raises his left or right fist in the air and attempts to hit you. No matter the side, you can dodge left or right. Ducking or blocking will only lead to damage. After that hit him with a jab then hooks.
Left and Right Jab
Just like the last three fighters, you can dodge this in anyway.
Pound
This is the most devastating of all of his moves. He will move both of his arms and proceed to try to crush you. The only way to dodge is to duck. But don’t hit immediately or King Hippo will just block. Wait until he looks up with a surprised look, then jab him and hook him. If you’re feeling lucky, hit him as he steps forward. doing this correctly will yield in him losing his crown. Do it again and he will be instantly defeated. Be careful though, failing and getting hit will cause you to lose half your health!!!
Finally, after all your hard work, you are the minor circuit champion!!! In the next part we will tackle the major circuit.
