So this is cool, TD Von Kaiser got a new strategy adjustment! Phase 3 is where the change is, which is rather bizarre considering I always thought that Phase 1 would be the spot where something new would happen. The old Phase 3 involved getting 2 stars off of Kaiser's fake uppercuts and knocking him down with a 2-star punch. However, Mysteryman figured out that earning 1 star off of the first uppercut and then whiffing it to get hit is actually 0.21 faster compared to the old!
This to me was really cool and this is most likely my new favorite strategy adjustment that happened in Punch-Out Wii. Outside of that new Phase 3, the rest of the fight is the same with Phase 1 still being a pain to do frame perfectly and a very awkward dodge in Phase 2.

LMFAO WHAT
So Punch Out Wii attempts havent really been strong recently so I thought a nice break from the game would be nice and figured I do some MTPO attempts. I was originally aiming for Kaiser TAS since thats been on my mind for ages it feels like. However, I didnt want my Honda 1 attempts to go to waste so I figured I throw in the 3 face jab strat that some of the top runners have been doing to break the Sub 40 barrier. And... I just so happened to break it with literally the 2nd time Ive gotten 3 face jabs (1/64 odds). The execution in Phase 3 couldve been tighter and maybe a .82 wouldve been squeezable but the odds in this run were too ridiculous for me to really care in the end so Ill take what I can get.
TD Macho attempts will come here and there but I think it makes sense for me to wrap up the Kaiser IL strat.

![[World Record] Punch-Out!! (Wii) - Practice Mode TD Aran Ryan (0:39.81)
Both the Aran Ryan fights for practice mode have somewhat different strategies compared to their normal counterparts. Aran Ryan has 3 positions he can go into and skipping the cutscene right as hes about to shift into his next stance will cause his first attack to come out faster. Saving roughly 3 seconds.
TASing this fight (and Contender Aran) was a bit weird as they were the only 2 fights where I had to find the perfect frame to skip the cutscene on. Going too late will cause him to go into a full cycle again; therefore wasting more time, while going too early will cause his attack to come out a tiny bit later.
As for the strategy itself, its exactly the same as the IL strategy with the obvious difference that you cant use the first buffer at the beginning since you need to cutscene skip perfectly.
39.81 seems to be the perfect time I was able to get when TASing this fight months ago, which includes skipping the cutscene perfectly. I thought this would be easier than the Contender strategy but I personally found the cutscene skip + first attack to be even harder to do. It took 1 hour exactly compared to the 40 minutes I spent getting a 50.22 on Contender Practice mode.

Pretty easy WR to tie, just some awkward jumps you gotta do. [Tied World Record] NES Remix (2013) Mario Bros. Stage 6 (0:10.6)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iYff9ci6Qlc/mqdefault.jpg)


![GUITAR HERO [NTSC Tied WR] Super Punch-Out!! - Aran Ryan (00845)
Yeah I thought piston would be next because doing guard manipulation to throw gut punches was going to be a huge problem, and it technically was but it wasnt as terrible as I thought.
Took five perfect Phase 1s for Aran to let the 5/8 + 50/50 supers to go through. Despite me saying 3 in the video (idiot nolan)

![[Former World Record] Punch-Out!! (Wii) - TD Mr. Sandman (0:34.04)
uhhh... awkward....
So yeah I just got 0.01 off on this fight now. Literally have no clue as to where the frame was lost. 100% going to keep going though, especially since I havent done this fight in forever and the fact that I was able to get THAT close to the TAS already, makes me believe that I will have this one quicker than TD Macho, lets just hope nothing bad happens to the footage :)
24 Frame perfect inputs with 3 of them being mandatory, Phase 2 is probably the worst part since you have to deal with a 50/50 at the start to get the star and you have to deal with canceling 2 of his winks after. The first one you can kinda get a feel for but the 2nd one is always hopeless for me. This phase is really the only thing holding this IL back from being TAS tied in my opinion, once thats nailed. We will see a 34.03 (hopefully) [Former World Record] Punch-Out!! (Wii) - TD Mr. Sandman (0:34.04)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jIDth1HT94s/mqdefault.jpg)
