Background[edit]
Piston Hurricane was born in Havana, Cuba. However, he lost his home in a terrible storm at which point he hit the streets of Havana. Piston would then leave his home "like the wind" when the chance to turn pro came along. He was a powerful fighter, with his most well-known move being his Hurricane Rush, in which he stepped back and then barraged his enemy with a flurry of punches. Surviving it usually consists of a series of well-timed blocks.
He first appeared in the original Punch-Out!! arcade as the second opponent, where he was ranked #7 in the World Video Boxing Association. Piston originally had an afro, but he reappeared in the Super NES Super Punch-Out!! with shorter hair as the #1 fighter of the Minor Circuit.
Trivia[edit]
