^If Yamada can beat the Warped Wall on his first or second try, I think he can clear the first stage. I really don't think he would have much trouble in the second stage, so if he can clear the Wall, I think he can go all the way to the third stage. Im not so sure. I mean, the only obstacles left in the second stage that were around last time he got there are the Balance tank (modified) and Wall lift. He can probably clear the DSL and maybe the bridge. But once he gets to the metal spin, i can see him failing that.

I honestly don't care if he fails on stage 2, but if he GETS to stage 2 I will go nuts.
Seriously... end this losing streak.

Btw I wonder if TBS is going to do an equally painful Fluffpiece? I mean seriously.. the whole weight/scale thing (from Sasuke 24) was a bit much..

What do you mean by painful?
Painful to watch? I tend to enjoy the fluff pieces on the all-stars so I didn't mind it.

I agree with arsenette. Yamada's issues with the kabe are due to stamina. The have been videos of him used by m9 showing him clearing his home made version with no problem. If it was at the beginning of the stage, he would pass it but because of the obstacles before it wearing him out, he runs outta gas when he gets there sometimes. Other evidence is when he made several attempts at the wall one time and then rested for about 10 seconds then tried clearing after the time was up. He made it easily after he rested. Because of his stamina, I am not sure that Yamada will be able to deal with the time constraints on stage 2. Yeah Yamada seems to get pretty winded when he reaches it. 8:Slipped in the rain. 17:Went too slow. 21:Injured 23:Went too slow before gaining speed. 24:Lost so much f***ing stamina he collapsed. However I do recall Bunpei and Koji timing out on it and Kanno and Shingo struggling. So it may be all about timing. Nagano and Terek had trouble on it too. ALOT of people timed out on the Kabe. Takeda fell off course (he was still on the mat so he was in), and even Akiyama, Washimi and Yuuji struggled too. Everyone who fails the S. Kabe is either slipping, going too fast, losing steam or all.

Painful watching because it's embarrassing to watch someone be weighed like some cow to prize.. Maybe I'm old fashioned or something but the whole scene of him being weighed seemed.. . how do I put it.. embarrassing to watch?

It is no different from boxers at the weighing scale. Anyway he is not that heavy nor overweight. Funny thing is i am now heavier ( 75kg! ) than Yamada & Kongu even though i share Nagano's height So no one is making fun of Yamada, he is never fat but just that Sasuke is very demanding in terms of fitness. EDIT: I have mixed feelings about Yamada's return. I missed Yamada's dedication. he is like a "tragic hero". On the other hand, i hope he returns only after getting his life in order back. But then, who am i to judge him? I think Yamada is a "good thing" for Sasuke but not so sure if "Sasuke" was a "bad thing" for him.

I noticed something. During Yamada's losing streak. Wataru Ogasawara is always at the tournament. I have a hilarious theory that everytime Ogasawara is there Yamada fails.

Interesting observation, Iams. If that's the case then Yamada WOULD have done better in Sasuke 25, because Ogasawara wasn't there.

That theory is about as valid as saying that he has only cleared stage 1 when the mats were green (which is true). AND the last 4 times the mats were green, he cleared stage 1. Therefore he would have passed in 25.

It went exactly how I thought. Ogasawara was there, and he failed.

Again, let's refer to this: That theory is about as valid as saying that he has only cleared stage 1 when the mats were green (which is true). AND the last 4 times the mats were green, he cleared stage 1. Therefore he would have passed in 25. Meaning that theory holds no sort of legitimacy.

While both u and sheep are completely correct, its still a fun theory/facts
