Mr. SASUKE?

[yamfriend]

Do you think that Katsumi Yamada will come back for Sasuke 26?

If so, I'd also like to hear how far you think he'll get considering that the course is the same as it was in 25.

[YoDaUO]

I dont he is coming back. But if he was to come back I see him failing the bridge jump.

[SRW]

amazingly I think no

[artyfowljr]

I have no idea honestly.
However if he comes back I can see him timing out at the very end of Stage 1, perhaps barely missing the button.

[Gamble]

Nope. Assuming Sasuke runs to like Sasuke 29, 30, 31..I have the feeling Yamada will make another appearance MUCH later and lose VERY early

I think Yamada will come back and do well. Sasuke 25 brought back some early obstacles, and he did better in the earlier tournaments. He never failed the Rolling Log or Circle Slider and only failed the Jump Hang once. If he can get past the Soriatsu Kabe, I really think he can clear the first stage.

[Zorn]

Nah, not this one. Maybe he might comeback for the "anniversary" tournament like Akiyama did.

[Deleted]

I'd like for him to get a nice job, make some good money, and settle down. He needs to let go of Sasuke already. (He should've done it years ago imo) but now is the time.

If he does comeback, I'm going to be more disappointed than excited honestly.

[intelligentinfer]

YES he will come back. Ratings are bad when he wasn't there

Sasuke 13 got 18%, that's higher than the 1st tournament.

We all know the positioning/timing fail is what did 25 in, you can attribute some viewers tuning out because Yamada wasn't there, but no one else notable was there either besides finalists, Shin Sedai and All-Stars.

[quasikoz]

I think he's done. He might stop by and support the rest of the All-Stars like Bunpei does sometimes, but I don't think he's going to run it again.

But it's still lower than 12's 18.4

[Mjyr1]

I think he's gonna go. However, I might be wrong.

[solidgoldenmonkey]

I can't see him coming back anytime soon, and if he ever does, it's just going to end in more disappointment and failure.

[VenusHeadTrap]

I hope he doesn't return, his reputation for retirement would become a joke.

Like it isn't already?

With that said, No i dont think he is coming back, I dont even think they want him back.

Agreed on this. He hasn't seen the second stage in 7 years or 11 tournaments ago. Its been kind of sad watching his past few attempts too. I don't want to see him go down again in the 1st stage... =/

[supersheep]

The funny part is he might have had a shot with 25.
He's never had a problem with any of the obstacles there except the wall and the clock, far cry from what he was up against in 18-24

I know. I just thought of this.... hrm, it would be kind of cool to see him go on this new course, just to see.....

[theannoyingninja]

I think he will come back, and fail the warped wall
