We finally got a little more info on Shinoda. Dude looked like Brock if he was in the military. Those who can’t do, teach…
That picture showing an Itagaki jab stabbing through an opponent’s chin was a bit jarring. lol
Decent chapter.
I was upset this was more side story but they went straight back to Ippo right quick. B)
Really thought it was were gonna let Shinoda have his day in the sun but they just shat on him again, Ippo going back to the dempsey, ole brain dead nigga. Like am pretty sure by now he has covered every angle of attack already, his signature combo has the gazelle punch but I guess that doesnt cut it for vertical motion.
Just please let him level up his mental game already, dude already has the tools.
Ippo should using more counters or setting traps.
He doesn’t have to do it all the time, but he should be mixing up his tactics more.
The vertical motion during dempsey is just to fuck with people. Dempsey Roll is just a horizontal strike, but Ippo going for a vertical strike will shook them up more than anything. They won’t know where to block. Ippo usually uses the gazelle punch to set up Dempsey, but adding a vertical inbetween? Fucking bring it,.
Yeah a vertical Dempsey is nice and all Ippo, but what I really want to see is this:
And this:
Then I will know you’re going places.
I want Orochi Ippo to come back so bad, man…
He almost killed that Kojima scrub… Imagine what he could do if he fully tapped into his full rage power.
We just had Capcom force us through 15+ years of Satsu ino hado Ryu. Now you dudes want Ippo to summon the dark hado?
Fuck Capcom tho, we at the point where its Hajime no Sendo, cant let this shit last forever, hell Kumi already starting to dry up.
ugh. fuck anyone who doesnt want ippo to enter the dark side. we need him to turn his back on his humanity to get his title.
Anyone who doesnt want Dark Ippo is just lying to themselves. Dude’s hypest matches are the ones where he just goes full Dark.
while mostly true, i found the ONE PUNCH MAN match pretty boring until the punch actually happened
the rest are great tho
I will also throw shade on people who dont agree with me and say if you want Ippo to be a dick then you must like dick and are gay.
Ippo is too nice. People aren’t saying be an asshole/dick, but rather stand up for yourself and when in the ring crush your opponent with your power. I mean, it’s like he lost his killer instinct, he needs to embrace it.
Ippo is already GSP tho. He isn’t making happy faces when he’s hitting people with his brick hands.
Anger will screw with Ippo’s game imo. You start to tense up and lose fluidity; and start to swing wide. He just needs to wear out Kumi’s pussy walls before he wears out her heart making her wait for so long.
Ippo packing so much heat in Thailand they would worship his elephant game as some kinda demigod. Totally at odds with this bitch ass docile nature. Hes on the world stage as a pro boxer, is anybody actually thinking that him showing a bit of aggression is a bad thing? His mental game is already trash, the only saving grave being his tireless work ethic.
Anger worked for Sendo and now he’s closer to Ricardo than Ippo is. 
He’s closer to Ricardo because of the ferociousness he showed, the same ferocity Ippo lacks. Regardless of Ippo’s potential, this is the reality.
