I literally play this game every day with my friend after he's started the anime, we get so intense in our matchups, it's so crazy seeing someone else talk about this!
I put like...100 hours into this game without ever even realizing it was based off another source material. When I found Hajime no Ippo I was both really excited and really sad about that.
This game was my absolute jam in college. I still have my original copy ❤ Totally ahead of the curve in terms of physics and representing boxing beyond a fighting game with no kicks
Thrill of the fight, with multiplayer ,,ability to record and edit highlights and ready player me avatars.snd done coaching mode for footwork drills and health tips if they start that as a basr line they can charge triple aaa price imo. One thing is like is sit down and controller thumbstick movement mode. (Creed update has this)For lazy session and average gamers and less mobile. They could have separate belt/league. For aaani have creed,I even have the fight and if they bother to up date golden gloves. Very few boxing games over the decades I've not owned. Not bothered with undisputed yet. Mainly due to VR making it hard to go back.
Yo. Can I Please remind you of the Good news? If so. Please know Jesus Christ, the perfect human being, Being full God and full man. Gave his own life for you, And everyone. He did it so you can be forgiven, and saved. Because of what Jesus Christ did, You noe have eternal life. When infact, You are unworthy to have it. It is Given. Please, Repent and Have faith in Jesus Christ. For he is, THE Lord and savior ☦️🙏🏼 God Bless. Amen
even if its based on an anime, it had some realistic things, its probably the only boxing game franchise where you could take advantage of your positioning, footwork, etc.. you could hit a guy and push him in a corner and beat up on them from upclose, or keep your distance and pick them appart if you're an outside boxer. Also, you literally had to "reset" when the other guy moved out of angle, which is SO FREAKING REALISTIC.. a boxing game that uses angles and footwork.. hasnt been done since. Even in those fight night games you don't really use your movement that much, usually your feet are planted and you avoid punches by moving your upper body with the analog stick..
This is exactly why I love playing this series. Boxing's all about the angles and setting up before your opponent. The counters work for the various punches too, using straight shots for a guys who uses hooks a lot. Body shots actually slow the opponent down, or they visibly tire near the end of the round.
But man the outboxers are actually fuckin broken in this game tho, if you trap em in the corner they start tryharding like a sweat spammer and dodge every punch and run away. Its more of a dont take multiple hits and get countered than trying to trap em. I dont mind the infighters or boxer types tho atleast they slug it sometimes
This game is still so much fun to play. There's just something about the way the gameplay feels that makes it so much more appealing to me then a lot more triple A title boxing games.
As a big Ippo fan, this legit looks like fun game, pretty true to the anime from what you suggested. I'm glad you liked it and keep on you tubing. Just recently found this channel and your improving with every video 👍👌
He’s great, playing this got me to watch the first season and it was really cool to see his origin story. I’m glad you found the channel, that means a lot thankyou!🤙
I bought this game for the PS2 without knowing what it was. Lifelong boxing fan. I loved the game and it got me into anime, led me to Initial D. I remember fondly playing late at night way too many tequilas deep.

THANK YOU for covering this game! I totally forgot it even existed but this was one of the very first games I’ve ever played on my brother’s Ps2 (R.I.P) loved putting on the rocky 4 OST in the background as well!
Used to have part 1. Such an underrated boxing series and hella fun. I don't think Fight Night would exist without someone trying the Victorious series first. Love the lyrics btw and your singing skills are on point. Peace.
Wish Ready 2 Rumble Boxing 2 had a storymode like this, the game was amazing 2. Never heard of Victorious Boxers, but as always an amazing video, editing and humor just perfect dude
i was searching this game ironically because the cover art is so silly and whimsical at the same time, but i gotta say, im now totally invested and immersed lol great video btw! you earned a new sub!🤝
Ah man! I loved this game back in the day! I only searched and found this video as it was brought back to my memory literally yesterday when I stumbled upon the anime of Ippo on Netflix! Great content also, I am now a subscriber to you're channel 😁👍
absolutely without question my favorite part was when you added the "If you ever see me fighting in the forest with a grizzly bear, HELP THE BEAR!" when you were up against the bear@@EvanHelblingYT
Like 20+ years ago, I rented this and resident evil 3 from a small asian mom n pop video game and movie rental spot and never took it back. They'd make a photocopy of your ID as "leverage" with the fee. I used my driver's permit as I was 16. They couldn't even post me on the wall 😂 I feel bad about it sometimes 😅
Wow! there was a game made based on this anime? Thank you so much bud for the video. The anime is solid gold, one of the best. Gotta get the game now. Keep up the good work with the content.
@@EvanHelblingYT Beautiful anime broski. These characters have trademarks that legends have actually became famous for, and they're kinda based on these real life legends. The humor is good too lol imo.
I had picked this game new and on sale from GameStop over a decade ago. It's still sealed as I never had time to play it. I think I'm going to give a try finally.
ive never heard of this game, but i literally just started watching hajime no ippo this week and it looks like this game follows the anime pretty closely!
This game was so fun. Love the Ippo anime too. prob my fav boxing game. Love the controls. liked it better than any other boxing game. I want a modern version with tweeked controls. that shit would be dope on ps5
MAN did i miss this game. Played this before I knew what Hajime no Ippo. It wasn't until i got to college that I realize it was Hajime because we rented the game like 3 times in a row back in the day. Played for hours with my brother and cousin lol
I came to see a game adaptation of a popular sports anime. I saw the anime in a faithful game adaptation. Literally the whole featherweight championship plot hahaha. Wait it even covers takamuras arc omg
Wait! Hold up. Is that Crablord ? He’s looks and sounds just like him so imma assume it’s him. Glad to see your still alive and well bro. Haven’t seen you post in a while I was getting scared no bullshit but great video. Keep doing your thing bro 😎
Hahaha yep you found me! I may have left without much warning but I’ve never been happier bro, I appreciate that a lot. Oddly enough a guy names Evan Helbling died a few months ago so that’s a bit scary too

Ippo lost to Date tho.. it was a significant point in his career and taught him a ton.

The physical game is pretty rare that’s awesome. I grew up playing the first one but I love how they both play, way ahead of the curve 🤘

Fun fact:Naoya ogawa is an actual wrestler/MMA fighter (Wrestled in NJPW), Just Like Kenta Kobashi (Although he Wrestled in AJPW)
I can’t read this game’s localized title without a hundred Stinkoman quotes popping into my brain
Hajime no Ippo was pretty deep source material. The game(s) had a lot to live up to.
The game skipped his character building in the 1st episodes, so it was cool to watch it
The funny thing is that in the manga, the Miyata rematch still hasn't happened and doesn't even seem like it will anytime soon.
Wait! Hold up. Is that Crablord ? He’s looks and sounds just like him so imma assume it’s him. Glad to see your still alive and well bro. Haven’t seen you post in a while I was getting scared no bullshit but great video. Keep doing your thing bro 😎
