Teleroboxer is a fighting game that the player operates a robot and boxes in the first-person perspective. You will fight against seven other robots. If you beat all of them without losing once, you will face the Legendary Champ.

Comments

I decided to make the run by request from a user of Nico Videos. The run shows you opponents swaying side to side wildly. That looks funny.
A punch by pressing either L or R hits an opponent after five frames. Within five frames after the punch, the player can cancel its motion by giving the opposite punch of the one. Therefore pressing alternately L and R per five frames is the best strategy. Also cancellation is used to make a feint against some opponents who dodge a punch at the beginning of fight. The punch can be also canceled by pressing ↑ or → to shift from a jab to strong uppercuts quickly. Finishing by the uppercuts shortens a reaction of opponents when I beat, but it works well only at each fight of Pagero and Dorihey because the others attack me during the uppercuts.

How to beat Cheri’s Prin quickly

After giving a punch, the opponent becomes invincible for a frame at regular intervals. At that time, I pressed L (or R), and pressed R (or L) at the next frame of the former input to avoid giving a punch during the opponent being invincible.

Because punching people with the pace of a machine gun never gets old, yes vote from me.

I didn't at all like this movie. It was to boring. Also, you beat robo-opponents with machine guns, who can kill you, an all you get is a cat that does yoga. Burrp.

You beat me to it! This was a lot more intense than I expected. I was thinking there would need to be a lot of strategy and planning for this. Instead you just machine-gun punch your opponents to death, I didn't expect that :o Yes vote.

It's just button mashing as far as I can see.

This run looks pretty interesting, and I'm sure frame perfect button mashing would make anyone wonder about the game's actual difficulty. Yes vote, because it looks well done and weird, and because there are few enough Virtual Boy games that even the bad ones could be done, and might end up being on the site just because there's only so many of them.

That was bizarre. And the legendary champion is a cat. Right. (Incidentally, it's spelled "feint", not "faint". "Faint" is when you fall unconscious)

This was a bit too repetitive to be worthy of a yes vote but machine gun paced punching never stops being funny. Meh vote.

The machine gun punching was really funny. The expressions on the opponent's faces were priceless. Yes vote.

I don't know what was more amusing, the fights, the reactions of the 7 opponents, or the legendary champion. I think I have to give it to who the champion was. That was...quite unexpected. Yes vote.

I don't think that this game is varied enough to be particularly entertaining. Yes, the rapid fire fisticuffs are entertaining - once, but seeing the same strategy over and over again gets old fast. Were this game capable of yielding a run more like the Punch-Out runs (as in, the fastest possible strategy was more than just rapid fire punching) this would be more suitable for a TAS. As it is, I vote Meh. There is an encode on the way, however.

While I do agree that the gameplay gets old fast, it seems short enough to me that it never gets quite boring enough to stop watching (unlike most RPG runs, for example). I think the weirdness of the whole thing might be what keeps this just barely interesting enough to finish watching. Weak yes vote.

Let me check in a dictionary... Oh, it says the correct spelling is "feint", too. I'll modify the submission text.

It was just rapid fire punching through every fight. Punch-out has some strategy and every fight is different. This was just boring and repetitive. I could be wrong, but it didn't look like it required any particular skill to TAS this game. Voted No.

There were a brief couple moments when strategy was seen, but for the most part it was just rattattattatat, which was absolutely amusing for the short short 5:40 that this game runs. Throw in the wacky characters and their expressions, and I don't see why this shouldn't be published. When I come around to watching it again in a few months perchance, call me easy, but it'll still be funny.

Seconded. I also found the credits some of the most creative I've seen, what with beating up some of the staff.

I don't mean to belittle the said strategy, but I would find it hilarious if you could pwn the Punch-Out opponents like in this video. They're not nearly as funny.

That was epic. The punching was crazy. This video really shows the definition of TAS and should be published.

I voted no. Not that I don't like giant robots punching each other to scrap metal, but this had no strategy, no variation and uninteresting visuals.

Didn't find it entertaining at all. On the other hand, you absolutely destroyed the game. Meh vote.

The cat was the highlight of the movie. Yes vote. "mrow!" *walks away casually, stretching a bit along the way*

An amusing little movie for the one-sidedness of it. I approve, even if it does get old after the first viewing.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.
