Was it just me, or did it get higher?

It doesn't look taller to me either, but I really want to try the warped wall myself.

I did look taller to me this tournament. It seemed to lip outward more this tournament than last.

If it was taller, the announcer would've said, and it would've been quite a big modification. The only reasons I can think of when it comes to those surprising fails (after all, Nagano took four tries over two runs to do it; I'd never seen that since Sasuke 9), is either the curvature of the wall is slightly different, or the wall was somehow slicker than usual. Of course, there's also the possibility that Yuuji, Nagano, and Yamada were just having a bad day when it came to the WW (well, Yamada was never good at the obstacle), but I dunno...

Rider should get in here and compare pics between tournaments. Well since I still have that 22 Soritatsu Kabe compared to the Great Wall pic, I'll just crop out the Great Wall and use that pic. And since with the pic I just mentioned the size comparison between David and Nagano wasn't helping, I just used a pic of Levi's run since they seem to be about the same height or so. And except for the Camera Angle it's the same. I noticed in the broadcast during a few runs that the line where they attach the ramp part to the vertical part (which is an indicator of when to jump too), that part seemed a bit off from the usual place, so maybe being more visible and half an inch lower was throwing off competitors? Because most of the falls it wasn't slipping but missing. So I guess it was more mental than anything.
