Aran Ryan is an Irish boxer appearing as an opponent in several Punch-Out!! games.
Background[edit]
As a child, Aran Ryan's mother insisted on spelling his name in an untraditional way. This led to him being teased endlessly by his classmates at school. He was unwilling to take this, especially when his mother was mentioned, and this caused him to become a relentless scrapper among the World Video Boxing Association. In the Wii game, he seemed to be particularly sadistic and possibly masochistic as well, as he had a habit of punching himself in the face between rounds.
Ryan first appeared in Super Punch-Out!! for the Super NES, where he was a relatively normal competitor and was the #3 challenger in the World Circuit. One of his abilities involved hugging his opponent (in a manner similar to Pizza Pasta) to regain health. When attacked, he would sometimes respond with his own more difficult version of the Piston Hurricane.
He reappeared in Punch-Out!! for the Wii, where he was shown as being particularly cruel and a cheater. In his introduction slideshow, he was shown taunting and sabotaging other fighters (such as tickling one's armpit with a feather while he was bench-pressing), as well as stuffing his boxing glove with horseshoes. During the battle, Aran fought swiftly and erratically, and even as he was knocked down, he would attempt to get in one last punch (although the punch would never reach Mac). He also used the unorthodox move of bouncing himself off of the ring's ropes and trying to headbutt Little Mac. In Title Defense Mode, he used the more illegal attack method of a boxing glove on a string, which he could use to hit Mac even when being knocked out, and he would also attack with his elbows.
Trivia[edit]
- In Super Punch-Out!!, he is a palette swap of Piston Hurricane.
- In the Wii game, he is even unpopular with the audience due to his antics, as in Title Defense Mode they pelt him with vegetables in between rounds.
