New Years Knockout

New Years Knockout Walkthrough

New Years Knockout is a fighting game that pits you against 2011's hottest celebrities. If you are a wrestling fan, you may notice Chris Jericho's (also known as Y2J) WWF/WWE theme song playing at the beginning of this fighting game; Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme can also be heard in portions of the game.

New Years Knockout puts you in the role of Afro Thunder, a boxer on a quest to decimate the most annoying celebrities of 2011! You will have to face the likes of Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black, and more. Between matches, you can upgrade your fighter to keep him in rare form. I advise upgrading your speed and resistance so that you can get more combination in on your foes and take more hits. You cannot save your progress in this fighting game, but it is short and easy enough to be completed in one sitting.

New Years Knockout uses a keyboard control scheme. To move, use the left and right arrow keys. The up and down arrow keys throw high and low jabs; hold the spacebar when pressing the up and down arrow keys to throw strong punches. The spacebar alone blocks attacks. Performing combos fills the rage bar. When the rage bar is full, press the B key to execute a rage attack. Rage attacks are randomized in this boxing game and range from using a "gangsta gat", to Mortal Kombat's Liu Kang kick, to Street Fighter's famous Hadouken attack.

New Years Knockout may be too easy for many fighting game fans, but it was designed to be a humorous game for casual players rather than a hardcore slug-fest. Opponents can be defeated easily by using alternating strong high and low punches and backing your opponent into the ropes. When your rage bar is full, execute a rage attack to devastate your foe. Continue these steps until your opponent is down for the count.

New Years Knockout is a humorous boxing game that is great for reliving stress and satisfying your urge to knock out Justin Bieber (who wouldn't want to?). New Year's festivities may be over, but you can still have a blast whipping celebs in this entertaining fighting game!
