@Satsuki:
Not a bad strategy to take advantage of your opponent's weakness, but it's fucking shitty to cheat.
Is it really cheating if the referee can't tell?
I'm just glad he doesn't suddenly become stronger than Mashiba or the plan wasn't as stupid as use an old technique that didn't work. The plan is to win despite being weaker with well established weakness not a magical technique that solves everything.
Altough nothing will ever beat Imai knowing he is not equipped for a fight with Itagaki but beating him with pure strategy under a minute(if I remember right). And now after typing that I have to read it again.
Now that we know the plan tho and we already know our character is superior in every way dragging it out would just be boring. And a twist where the opponent gets suddenly strong would be kind of asspulish.
In another subject: What is your top 5 or 10 of Ippo's fight(the manga)? Can also do worst.
