Glass Joe

In Glass Joe's NES appearence, he was a pathetic loser who whined about wanting to retire since he was too old for fighting, said this was his last match, pleaded with Little Mac not to hit him in the jaw, and even asked if he could take a nap between rounds. He was such a crybaby that it was easy to just feel contempt for him.

In his Wii Appearence, Joe's become a friendly, cheerful guy who greets the crowd before the match starts. He's also a Determinator who will not give up, no matter how many beatings he takes. He's even gotten a competitive streak, telling Mac between rounds that he's "coming for him", and is a legitimate threat in Title Defense with his fake-outs, delayed punches and protective headgear. While some of his between-match dialogue could be taken as whiny — he says that his gloves are too tight, and that his doctor told him Mac is bad for his health — it comes across more as humorous Self-Deprecation.

Glass Joe got his One and Only Victory against WVBA's former Special Circut Champion, Nick Bruiser, in a freak “accident”.

Whilst Weak, Nervous, a bit of a Crybaby, and Determinator, Glass Joe is pretty friendly.
