What do you think? I seriously hope he does since he needs to break this unlucky streak he's been having.

Hmm, good morning. To answer your question, no.

I see him timing out again.. though if he does past stage 1.. I know a few people that might have a coronary.. not Sato-grade but I'd be shocked if he did. Was impressive seeing him lose 15 pounds in about 2 months and getting back in shape.

I really would like to see him pass, but I'm not sure if he will. I think this streak is too much mentally for him.

I'm saying yes, because a ton of people say no and only a select few will say yes. This way if he finally beats it, then the satisfaction and how much I will laugh will be second to none.

I am not a Yamada fan but I voted yes. Why? Based on the info in other threads. If he really lost 7kg, he will be back to his best "fighting weight" he had in his prime. With his "prime" weight, he will beat 1st stage but as for kanzenseiha, well...hey Santa is not that generous. ( Sorry, Tiger & other Yamada fans )

He lost some weight so who knows. He seems to be focusing on his stamina more. I cannot wait for Sasuke 24 oh my god. If Yamada passed stage 1, that would be huge.

Yeah, he'll pass stage one. And achieve kanzen seiha!

IF he goes at the same pace as SASUKE 23 and get the wall in one try then he will pass

I think if Yamada can get the Jumping Spider and run up the Warped Wall in his first try, then I think he can pass Stage One. It's pretty much all mental for him though, so hopefully he'll overcome those mental demons and pass the first stage.

It would be great if he did, this may be his last tournament. Evryone would be hugely suprised if he did, myself included. But honestly, I don't think he will. But I'll be happy if he proves me wrong

With the weight loss, I feel he'll have the stamina.....it all depends on his Slider Jump form. Remember he used the "Pipe Slider" technique and pretty much flipped on the net. Also Cross Bridge is back and he doesn't want to pull a 15 again

I have a feeling Yamada will clear this time around. I still believe in him!

Although all common sense tells me I shouldn't, I'm going to say yes. I believe in you, Mr SASUKE! You have my full support! ^_^

This time seems different. He's not just blandly practicing obstacles. He's a lot of weight, he set goals for himself and achieved them, he is working on stamina, he lost a little bit of that cocky attitude of his.
I think he can do it.

No Normally, I would actually say yes. However, in the Navi, I think the clip where Nagano and Takeda are reacting to someone failing is Yamada. It fits: Fellow All-Stars and the time of day (just before sunset)
