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

Not true at all. Wildly swinging his fists like a buffoon against someone who hits just as hard as he does and completely eschewing any type of strategy during Metzli mode is why Alf almost lost the fight.

Other fighters in the series who use bloodlust and instinctual savagery have a method to their violent style, see Martinez and Takamura as the gold standard. Even Sendo uses his savage instincts tactically instead of just operating off of being pissed off(which is basically all Metzli mode was, kindof disappointing actually).

ippo doesn’t exactly have much in the ways of strategy and when we’ve seen angry ippo he had even less. Metzli mode is angry ippo.

much like Alf
 ippo can’t control it.

Did you ever play the GBA HnI? I liked that game quite a bit, I wish it had gotten a translation. I wonder if I can find the OST anywhere, it’s GBA music but I liked quite a few of the themes, especially Volg’s iirc. The best I can find on youtube is a volg vs volg fight with the theme, but not in good quality.

GBA HnI was fun. I can’t remember too much about it, other than Mashiba shitting on everyone not named Date.

I thought Ippo was top because of liver blow and all the red damage it did. Miyata was pretty good too because of the Jolt Counter being an instant KO iirc.

I liked using Volg the most because he had the smoothest style and was the most fun to combo with. But it was just a fun game all around iirc. It’s been a long time since I played it.

If this new game is like it, I will probably play it, but I could not tell from that video.

I hope that new game is more like the PS2 games.

Welp. I started reading from the very beginning again.

Fuck this manga is hilarious. I’m in fucking tears :lol:

“Awesome Pervert Power. Dashing from Ass to Ass”.

That reminds me, Saeki was such an easy fight for Sendo, and that was never really explained. Because he REALLY shouldn’t have been that easy.

Sendo’s “animal nature” made Saeki double-guess himself into a concussion. Or something.

Just got done with the East Japan Rookie tournament.

Finna start reading Ippo vs Sendo 1

Too much man. When Sendo first meets Takmura in the shower.

“The fuck are you guys swinging your dicks for”

Too fucking much man. I tears right now lol

Still remember that scene perfectly no homo, aoki and kimi looking at each other like dafuq and the other 2 are pulling on each others joints
holy shiat

Aw man. Even going back Ippo vs Sendo 1 was still hype as shit. Definitely one of the better fights.

I’m at the part where Geromichi first shows up. Takamura takes his wallet and finds a picture of Ippo.

“Homos want other homos (as friends)”.

I’m dying man. That’s why Takamura is the best man. Right beside Vorg and Sendo.

Fuck me man. Damn near choked on my food I was laughing so hard rofl.

I forgot about this dude X-copying Date.

Holy fuck everything comes full circle (especially with the recent Alf fight and him X-Coping Ricardo).
