• Rank: 18-9 (18 KOs)
• Birthplace: Hippo Island, South Pacific
• Everything Else: ???
• Description: The Minor Circuit Champion. He eats in the morning. He eats in the afternoon. He eats in the evening, and at night, he sleeps.
• Difficulty:
• KO Count: 1
• Attacks:
  • Guard Breaker: Hippo's main attack. He brings his fist to his face and strikes your head. Guarding is useless here, so dodge if you can.
  • Smash: Hippo rumbles and lifts his fist in the air. Dodge.
  • Hippo Crush: Hippo's special attack. At around half HP after stumbling from your attack, he'll beat his chest and attack you with his two fists. You have to duck in order to dodge his attack.

This is the title bout of the minor leagues. He's supposed to be tough. He has his head and his body guarded for the battle, so punching is useless for now. The only way to stun and attack is to counter. First let Hippo prepare his Smash attack, then hit his head to stun and then his body to attack. You just have to KO him once to win this fight. After that, the belt is yours.
