Fantastic piece!



To me, the "Dempsey Roll" is a bit like the Hondo Rush, only much more powerful and definitely faster, like a big "buff" to the move. Mac likely wouldn't be able to block it, but he has a very small chance of dodging. But knowing Mac, he could find a way to stop it from happening. Like the Hondo Rush and the Bull Charge, Mac could be able to land a body blow to floor Ippo, given he hits on time. While the Dempsey Roll's a fast and powerful move, Ippo's also much closer to his opponent, just within hitting range. Little Mac's a very fast fighter, so if the timing's right, he could also be able to hit Ippo in the face before he even finishes charging the move, likely getting a star at the same time, kind of like when Sandman says "Boo!" while charging the Dreamland Express, except the hit to the face could stun Ippo, allowing Mac to land multiple blows and his opponent speechless when done. Once Little Mac's prepared his timing, Ippo better look out before he's on the floor seeing stars, THREE stars!



Though, I haven't seen the anime. I just watched two clips of the two versions of the Dempsey Roll, so what I say might not be accurate, but my money's still on Mac.
