Special Moves:
B: Knockout Punch (Sends an opponent a powerful punch. Not as powerful as DK's Wind-Up Punch nor Ganondorf's Warlock Punch, but almost as powerful as Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch. This was used in the SNES Super Punch-Out!!.)
Forward+B: Rapid Punch (Faster and a bit more powerful than any other's rapid attacks. If someone shields against Mac's Rapid Punch, he'll stop for a very short time. This was used in the SNES Super Punch-Out!!.)
Down+B: Counter Punch (If Mac uses this attack right before his opponent begins to attack, the opponent will pause for a short time, giving Mac a chance to KO or severely damage his opponent. This was used in the SNES Super Punch-Out!!.)
Up+B: Corkscrew Uppercut (Jumps up in the air while sending a rapidly-spinning punch upward. Can also be used while in the air.)
OR
Up+B: Right Hook (Based on the Right Hook move from the Punch-Out!! arcades, as well as the "Star Punch" or "Jumping Uppercut" from the NES versions. Jumps up in the air while sending a fast right hook. Can also be used while in the air for recovery.)
Extreme Attack: Power Agility (Just like in the Punch-Out!! arcades and the SNES Super Punch-Out!!. Little Mac becomes faster and a bit more powerful than before for a short time.)
Taunt: Raises his left fist up and shouts "RIGHT ON!", just like in this picture.
Entrance: Puts on his boxing gear (just like he did in the SNES Super Punch-Out!! opening).

This thread is to let the SNES Mac compete against the NES Mac, BUT PLEASE DON'T DISCUSS ABOUT THE NES VERSION TOO MUCH. Here are some reasons why I believe the blonde-haired Little Mac (SNES Super Punch-Out!!) has a higher chance at entering than the black-haired one (Two NES Punch-Out!! titles):
- If Kirby copied the black-haired one, he won't look as good as if he copied the blonde-haired one, because of the hair-do.
- He has a better winning taunt, which is when he raises his left fist in the air and shouts "RIGHT ON!"
- He has more moves than the black-haired one.
- He reappeared in EA's Fight Night Round 2, while his name was revealed by Nintendo (not EA). This probably means that the blonde-haired Little Mac is who Nintendo prefers more than the black-haired one.
- SNES Super Punch-Out!! closely matches the two Punch-Out!! arcades more than the NES ones.
- Blonde-haired Little Mac has an entrance of his own, which is the same one from the opening of the SNES Super Punch-Out!!
- Most characters shown in the SSBB trailer are modernized editions. Pit's look is mostly based on the front cover of the Game Boy Kid Icarus than the NES/Famicom Disk one does.
Many of you would still believe the black-haired Little Mac would enter, because he and the NES Punch-Out!! titles are more popular.
The protagonist for both arcade versions (and the Arm Wrestling spin-off) is unknown, but he could be related to Little Mac.
Major reasons why the NES version is popular:
|1.| He has a coach.
|2.| He's in a YTMND fad.
|3.| He's the protagonist of the most popular Punch-Out!! game.
|4.| He's the protagonist of the first home console Punch-Out!! title.
|5.| He faced against Mike Tyson.
And major reasons why the SNES version is popular:
|1.| He has more moves than before.
|2.| He looks easier to recognize.
|3.| His winning taunt is greater than before. "RIGHT ON!"
|4.| He appeared in 3D in EA's Fight Night Round 2.
|5.| He can face more than one real-life boxer in Fight Night Round 2.
I don't know why they modified Little Mac's look, but probably because it's related to a missing storyline, which probably means that after Little Mac knocked out Mr. Dream and won a lot of money, he spend his money for a new hair-do, a facial surgery, and better clothes to make him look good enough in his opinion.
And what about the other boxers (excluding Mike Tyson and including Mr. Dream)? Some of them probably retired or quit boxing and moved on to something else. For a serious example, Glass Joe became a boxing coach at his own boxing gym. Then he met a pretty old boxer name Gabby Jay, and while they fought each other, Gabby Jay knocked out Glass Joe and graduated to move on to fight other boxers, but he never won a single match ever since he fought Glass Joe.
In a GamePro magazine, I saw a screenshot of the SNES Super Punch-Out!! prototype, which showed Little Mac with a different look, before they made him have blonde-hair. It looked similar to this image below, but the face looked more like Inuyasha's or Joey's (Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters):
