u/hayamis

I've realized now that I'm rewatching Hajime no Ippo that Otowa is awful. Maybe he's a good coach, but as a person he's terrible.

—First, we have the example of Hayami. As everyone knows, he currently has a glass jaw. A normal, good trainer would be concerned about his physical and mental health, perhaps retiring him for a while or at least making him a coach. But Otowa literally doesn't even show up to his fights and it seems like he's only using him for money since Hayami sells "well" as a brand.

—Second, we have the example of Volg. He was the gym's promising foreign fighter, but after losing two in a row, they kicked him out. And yes, maybe it's because he's expensive to maintain, but bro, Otowa literally, instead of considering Volg's talent, decided to get rid of him like he was nothing. I mean, all Otowa cares about is money.

—Third, we have Imai. I say this because at first, Imai was a respectable boxer and a good person, but bro, now he's literally arrogant and foolish. And yes, maybe it's because of himself and his own ego, but even Kobashi's trainer talked to him, and Otowa doesn't seem to understand. He cares about his boxers.

In short: Otowa has only been seen as a trainer who cares about easy and quick money, and is not interested in the physical and mental well-being of his boxers.

I know the new ranked system can be innovative and good in some cases, but I'd like them to at least keep the map where you could be quiet and look for people, not only because you could find friends there without so much noise or lag, but also because it was good for choosing people to play with on a private server together for a reason.

What I don't like about the new ranked system is that you can't choose who to play with. Yes, I know you can enter someone's name and let them choose whether to join, but you can literally only play with friends or people you see on the server you're on, and it's very unlikely anyone will accept. I really like the system of choosing your region to reduce lag, but it has quite a few flaws. I've played several matches with my region, and to be sure, I used all the regions and the global option, and at no point were all the people on the ranked server from the same region, or at least two or one. I preferred when Roblox automatically placed you on a server where everyone was from your region. The fact that you can't choose who to play with like before is another issue. Before, at least you could see people's rankings and know who to join. Now, it seems to match you with random people regardless of rank. My rank is 66, and I get matched with someone who's 112, and even someone with no rank. This isn't... It happens so often, but it can kind of ruin the game if you're left 2 vs 1. Honestly, I'd like everything to stay the way it was, but the only thing I'd like them to change is to bring back the ranked map, just adding the 3 vs 3 mode, obviously.

Otowa is a terrible coach

I don't like the new ranked system.
