Chapter 519 Fantasy Circuit Super Punch-Out

Seth continued playing the Fantasy Circuit, and when Little Mac entered, the game screen shifted to display the list of opponents. The first was none other than RoboCop, making Seth's eyes widen. "What!? RoboCop? How's RoboCop supposed to box!?" To Seth and Mac's surprise, RoboCop wasn't boxing at all — he drew a gun and shot Little Mac! RoboCop calmly said, "This is a Transqualizer gun, so it will not kill you." Seth grumbled, "Not kill me, my ass! I guess this isn't boxing anymore!"

Before the round began, Seth opened the menu and noticed several new skills for the Fantasy Round, including Thunder Uppercut and Flame Jab. Grinning, he selected Thunder Uppercut as his ultimate ability. The round began: 6th Round — RoboCop! RoboCop wielded two guns, and just before firing, his visor flashed slightly — giving Seth a crucial cue to dodge. Seth unleashed his Ultimate Thunder Uppercut, landing heavy damage on RoboCop. After a tense back-and-forth, Seth finally knocked RoboCop down and grinned, "Not bad for a start!"

Then the next stage began. It was none other than Giga Chad Mario. Seth grinned,

"Hello, old friend!"

Giga Chad Mario was the final boss of the Fantasy Circuit in Punch-Out 1. Seth quickly took control of Little Mac (or Zabo Mac) to face him. As usual, Giga Chad Mario punched with lightning speed, shouting "Ora! Ora!" with each blow. This time, Seth really couldn't keep up and was knocked out several times. "Damn it!"

Seth browsed the abilities shop list and spotted one called Mac Bullet Time — it boosted Little Mac's speed and slowed down enemies. Grinning, Seth said, "This is exactly what I need to beat Giga Chad Mario." Armed with the new ability, he faced Giga Chad Mario again, and after just three tries, he finally took him down. "Yeah!" Seth cheered in triumph, pumped with excitement as he moved on to the next opponent.

The next opponent left Seth unsure whether to laugh or cry — it was a guy with blue skin, spiky hair, a beard, glasses, and a cheap Sonic costume: a bad Sonic cosplayer named Real Sonic. What made it even funnier was that Real Sonic didn't follow the Super Punch-Out art style; instead, he looked like a Mortal Kombat character, using a real actor — so out of place it made the whole scene even funnier. Seth burst out laughing. "HAHAHA! This… this is absurd!" When the fight began, Seth expected Real Sonic to be a fast puncher like Giga Chad Mario, but he was wrong — Sonic wasn't fast at all, just incredibly tricky. He used a big gold ring as a weapon, striking at random and even stepping back to throw it, making the fight hard because Seth couldn't stop laughing. "Oh my god, this is so funny! This is just some dude!" Once he finally calmed down, Seth managed to beat Real Sonic and chuckled, "Hahaha! That was hilarious."

Then came Stage 3, and the next opponent was none other than Balrog from Street Fighter. "Oh my god! Balrog!?" Seth exclaimed. Balrog's style was similar to Nick Bruiser — he could only be damaged by parrying or using ultimate abilities — but his movement was completely different: chaotic and much faster. Even after dozens of tries, Seth couldn't beat him, not even with Mac Bullet Time. "Damn it!" Frustrated, Seth took a break, downed an energy drink, and calmed his mind. After six more tries, he finally defeated Balrog. "YEAH! Finally!" Seth grinned and jumped around, thrilled to have beaten him at last.

Then he continued to the next stage.

"You've gotta be kidding me, right?"

The second stage before the finale was none other than Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken!

"Don't tell me he's gonna ATATATATA me… shit!"

Seth was both nervous and pumped as he started the game — and just as he predicted, Kenshiro used Hokuto Shinken, but worse, he also kicked! Kenshiro inhaled, the screen zoomed in on his intense 16-bit eyes, and the text flashed: "Hokuto Hyaku Retsu Ken!" followed by a rapid-fire "ATATATATATA!!!" Seth desperately tried to dodge, but even with Mac Bullet Time, it was insanely fast, and he was KO'd. "Damn! Shit, how can I dodge that!? Maybe I just can't let him use that super ability… when he starts gathering energy, I need to hit him with an ultimate — that should cancel his move." Mac used an ultimate called Dragon One Inch Punch, a fast, hard-hitting strike. Seth kept grinding, always cutting off Kenshiro's ultimate, but even without it, Kenshiro was brutally strong. After 20 or more tries, Seth finally beat him, having memorized all his moves. "OH YEAH, BABY! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! EAT IT, ATATATATATA!"

Seth shouted like an insane person in his room, but it couldn't be helped — the adrenaline was high!

Then Seth muttered, "I wonder who the final boss is…" Suddenly, a figure appeared — a person wearing a black gi with a Z on the back, a black helmet covering his face, and a blue visor glowing over his eyes. A 16-bit cutscene played: "Little Mac… impressive. It seems the Zabo armor I gave you enhanced your ability, and you've used it well." As the figure's body crackled with lightning, he added, "But you'll need to give even more… to beat me." The final boss was none other than Zabo-man himself.

Seth grinned, eyes gleaming. "Heheheh, bring it on, Zabo-man! I'll definitely force those words out of your mouth!" He was determined to hear Zabo-man's legendary line: "You are very cool," the phrase every fan knew by heart.

Then the fight began! First, Zabo-man unleashed Blue Lightning Dragon Stance, striking a fierce pose with a blue dragon shimmering behind him. His attacks came fast, crackling with lightning. But because Seth was laser-focused, he managed to read his patterns — until, to his shock, Zabo-man suddenly shifted stance! A red flame phoenix emblem flared on his back, and his entire fighting style transformed!

"What the hell!? He's using multiple stances!?"

The fight continued. Zabo-man shifted again into Black Tortoise and Water, then into White Wind Tiger. Each stance brought a distinct playstyle and challenge:

Blue Dragon = swift, electrified attacksRed Phoenix = explosive burst strikesBlack Tortoise = precise parries and countersWhite Tiger = erratic, unpredictable wind assaults

It made Zabo-man unbelievably hard! Even after countless attempts, Seth couldn't beat him. "Oh my god, this guy… is so tough." He wiped sweat from his forehead, hands cramping slightly, but he refused to give up. Seth started adjusting his strategy — memorizing every pattern, every stance change, every faint cue Zabo-man gave before unleashing a combo. His heart raced with every near-win, only to be crushed by a final blow. "Okay, okay, stay calm," Seth whispered to himself, massaging his wrists, eyes flicking between the screen and the controller. But he tried again, again, and again. Hours slipped by; his energy drink sat half-finished, and his room was dark except for the screen's glow. Finally, after countless attempts, with one last perfectly timed Ultimate Thunder Uppercut, he beat Zabo-man at last! Seth threw the controller onto the pillow, jumped up, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!"

He was clearly excited — his frustration had finally paid off!

Then the cutscene played. Zabo-man was kneeling, sparks still dancing across his battered armor, then he chuckled, "As expected… your potential is high, Little Mac. I acknowledge you." The screen shifted to Zabo-man as he raised his thumb and said, "You are very cool." Seth's throat tightened; it almost made him tear up. His hands trembled slightly on the controller, feeling the weight of all the hours, all the retries, and the surge of pride washing over him. "Yeah, Zabo-man, I'm very cool! And you are the coolest." He let out a laugh that was half joy, half relief. For a moment, Seth sat in stunned silence, replaying the moment in his head, feeling the buzz in his fingertips. After countless attempts to beat him, the words of Zabo-man were clearly worth a lot — not just as a victory, but as a hard-earned badge of honor. Seth leaned back in his chair, exhaling deeply, heart still hammering from the adrenaline rush, and smiled to himself. "Damn, that was epic."

And with that, Seth was tired and decided to stop the gaming session for a bit. "Damn, been playing for hours! No wonder I'm famished." He stretched his arms, feeling the stiffness in his shoulders, and let out a long breath. The room was dim, lit only by the screen's afterglow, and empty energy drink cans cluttered his desk. As he stood, his legs wobbled slightly from sitting so long, making him chuckle. He then headed outside to grab some food, the cool air hitting his face, refreshing after the hours indoors. His heart was full and satisfied, his mind still replaying the triumph, the battles, and Zabo-man's words. As he walked down the street, Seth smiled to himself, already imagining how he'd tell his friends about the epic showdown and thinking about what challenge or what games he'd tackle next.
