Game Resources / NES / Mike Tysons Punchout / Von Kaiser Strats

These are various stategies discovered for the opponent Von Kaiser. While some of these strats maybe doable in real time, these demo movies are Tool-assisted and demonstrate the strat in a frame perfect manner. These times present the fastest possible time that can be obtained with these particular strats.

Kaiser's Casaulty

This strategy was one of the first to get a sub 37 second record time on Von Kaiser. Matt Turk & Mile Hardinson are credited for discovery of this in March 2004.

Phase 1- As soon as Mario opens the fight press up + B to deliver a quick face jab to Kaiser. Repeat this procedure a total of 4 more times to land a total of 5 face jabs. Note: Do not hold up during this series of face jabs or Kaiser will duck or block. After the 5th face jab has landed immediately deliver a left body blow which will intercept Kaiser's head shake jab. Now listen closely. Immediately after the left body blow lands tap up for just a second like you were going to do a gutter and then give him 2 more left body blows both of which should connect. The 8th punch (body blow) should will give Mac a star (100%). Now immediately dodge Kaiser's head shake jab and answer with one left face jab followed by a star uppercut in his stunned, shaking head to get the first knockdown at 0:21-0:22 Mac should have 0 stars in reserve to start phase 2.

Phase 2- Kaiser will get up at Mario's count of 1. In order to get a second knockdown quickly you need to use a technique invented by Miles Hardinson. As soon as Mario says fight tap up on the control pad and immeditely deliver two quick left body blows. Note: The timing for this maneuver is hard to get at first. The first punch should connect before Kaiser even starts to duck for his uppercut and the second punch will connect at the earliest possible moment he begins to bend for his second uppercut (see nsm to see how I did it). The first body blow interception will produce a star (100%) but the second is random (25%). You have to get both stars to get this strategy to work. So immeditately after Mac obtains star # 2 press Start to deliver a star uppercut to knock Kaiser down a second time. The clock should read 0:29-0:30. Mach should have 1 star in reserve for phase 3.

Phase 3- Quick dodge his uppercut and deliver a quick star uppercut to send him to the canvas for the final time. The clock should read 0:36-0:37 for the final knockdown.


Kaiser's Casaulty Extreme

This is a modification of Kaiser's Casaulty that can push the time to 36.00. It was developed by several people including adelikat, Matt Turk, and Brian Picchi

Phase 1 is modified with this combo: L jab, L body, L body, L jab, L jab, L body, L body, L jab


Kaiser - TAS Strat

Since nothing is random, this strategy is theoretically possible in real time albeit very unlikely. Again the only different here is phase 1. The opening combo is L jab, followed by 7 L body blows.

Randomness

All the fast Kaiser strategies depend on a random star (the 2nd one in Phase 2) to work. This star has exactly 50/50 odds. If the last digit of the RNG (0x0018) is low (0-8) it will always yield a star, and if it is high (9-F) it will never yield a star.
