button to punch, which, if done right, will deplete one point of health from the opponent.
- 1st level difficulty: Features an opponent about equal to the player, both having three points of health and equal strength.
- 2nd level difficulty: The opponent has four points of health. Once he is down to a single point, he will perform a special move, which can instantly K.O. the player, but can be dodged like a normal attack.
- 3rd level difficulty: Features an opponent with five health points, who is much faster than the other two. Also, this opponent can use the instant K.O. attack at any time. Like the opponent in level two, he always uses the instant K.O. attack once he is down to a single point.
