The Hajime no Ippo (HnI) thread - Gazelle Punch Her in the Gut!

I hope he just nails this dude

That’s probably got more to do with their culture than one individual manga artist. Penis envy, imo. No wonder Ippo’s is so huge, you know Mori’s has gotta be like a little baby carrot.

Ippo is gonna get rocked again before he wins this, I don’t think anything REALLY changes here. It’ll just be him realizing that him getting angry isn’t the best way to win.

Here’s his profile on ANN, guess he’s a part-time corner man.

:p: Round 932 :p:

man ippo is on some dbz level stalling right now…like, one month no action.

Sigh, he will fight stupid because he’s angry. Except he always fights stupid. So somehow I’m supposed to believe being angry makes you even stupider.

Except in real life, being angry makes you smarter, quicker, stronger and better. The only people that think being angry makes you stupid are people that have never competed in anything in their lives but think they can talk about it. Basically nerds and women. Hell, even women that compete probably won’t say something that stupid. That’s the type of stupidity a Philosophy major would claim.

Bah.

Yeah thats not true at all. If you are really angry about something you wont think at all and just be swinging and wasting energy. Trust me, I speak from experience and fighting with a game plan before you go into the ring and keeping your head strait is a LOT better than fighting all irate and shit. You will be stronger in a sense you can take more hits but your technique goes to shit, in which case your punches are weaker and you will take a lot more damage because you aren’t thinking or playing any mindgames.

uhhh what? no…in real life being angrier tends to make you make silly mistakes you wouldnt make if you were calm and collected.

I remember this one time, Philth had this thread about going to jail.

I also remember this other time Serp’s tires got slashed.

This is a manga we’re talking about here. And if we cite another well known manga, we can easily believe that anger does in fact make you into a badass.

I really hope Ippo makes this fool think he may never even see his child before the fight’s over.

I wasn’t aware The Incredible Hulk was a manga, lol. SMASH YOU!

Again, if you haven’t competed, that’s why you think that way.

There is a reason why coaches and drill instructors yell at you. There’s a reason why people talk shit and get hyped. There’s a reason why Bisping got humbled when he managed to actually anger Hendo. There’s a reason why Anderson Silva does random nonsense and convinces himself that he got disrespected.

Because doing anything while angry gives you an edge. It gives you an edge in court, it gives you an edge in sports, it even gives you an edge with women. That’s why most of you pussies sit there listening to women talk about the angry men they are fucking while you try to understand their ā€œfeelingsā€ with your ā€œintelligent gameplans.ā€

Sorry to insult you guys. But maybe now I made you angry enough to actually do something. You can thank me later.

Nah, I believe that they all yell at you to get you used to being able to think and execute while under mental distress. At least that’s why drill sergeants yelled at us in basic training.

I disagree with your statement, Serpent.

To top it all off, there was a deck of cards scattered around my car. My theory is they were going after Viscant but were too stupid to figure out which one was his car.

ippo’s fights have been garbage since sawamura

every other characters fights have been superior in every way

I’m hoping Ippo completely destroys this chump and we truly see a side of him we have never seen. As stated before, he has really struggled in his last few fights. It’s good to see that the competition is getting fiercer and I’m glad they don’t make him steamroll everyone, but I think it’s past time to see him take the inhibitors off and just obliterate someone.

Of course if this happens, he’ll hear about the guy’s unborn son that he named after him and he’ll probably be overwhelmed by guilt and plunge down an emotional staircase resulting in him doubting himself which in turn will affect his performance in future matches.

Typical Ippo…

i have competed and prob competed in different martial arts competitions alot longer than you. when you get angry, you become irrational, your not clear headed. yes you will become stronger, but you also get set up more easily cause you cant see things you normally would clear minded. ive frustrated alot of people in grappling purely cause they got angry they put so much effort into one thing, it didnt work and gassed out relying on that move.

Actually, the correct answer is that it depends on the person. A lot of people function better and don’t make stupid mistakes, as you admit to doing. And a whole lot of people do. The manga is actually setting up Ippo to be retarded, although he’s always retarded so that annoys me. I don’t see how Ippo can fight any dumber by being angry than he fights when he’s not angry, as all he ever does is bull in mindlessly no matter what, and fall for stupid tricks. If he gets any dumber he won’t be able to walk or punch and will just fall down in the middle of the ring and drool after the match starts.

But Takamura and Sendo fight smarter when they’re angrier, and that has been established. So you can’t actually claim it’s universal one way or the other. I got annoyed because people always claim what you did, but I really shouldn’t have stated it as a universal either. For me it’s the opposite, when I’m angry my mind clears up and I can consider every possibility very quickly and pick the best one. For a lot of other people it’s been the exact same thing. That’s why so many coaches and trainers use anger as a motivating tool. I’m of the belief that the majority actually respond best to anger.

I did boxing for a number of years and martial arts. If you are truly angry you are not going to fight well at all. If you entering these fights angry and still able to do shit then you aren’t really that angry. Responding out of anger will be bad. going into the ring saying your angry to hype yourself up is totally different.

:p: Round 933 :p:
