Remember who the audience is. It's not us. It's Japan. They know more about him than the West does and the fact that he even brought up anything negative about himself is about as good of an apology you will ever get from him. Even in that he said he was justified and wouldn't change anything. Inui didn't expect much out of the interview honestly and the fact that he brought it up on his own was interesting. Again, it's common knowledge over there where it's all "new" to the West because G4 never showed that kind of stuff nor any of his other appearances, interviews and whatnot for the 20 years he's been in showbiz.

So from the looks of it you can't single step the quad steps?

The one line of him doing things in the past was a signal to the others. He has a hard time coping to it even years later especially since he really hasn't changed. Remember.. the famous lifetime ban came 2 years after these interviews. So honestly.. he didn't change. He is just good at speeches and being in front of the camera. So from the looks of it you can't single step the quad steps? One stepping each step correct? I assume some people can do it but it's extremely difficult. One siding the steps is forbidden. Just clarifying that.

Ugh, the friggin Backstream is still in existence. Was excited for Total Victory just hoping they could clear such an awful obstacle. Still one of my least favorite, only bested by last year's ANW Snake Road that basically ruined a whole Qualifier.

Just clarifying that. If I may ask, is the "you can't use your hands on the steps" rule being enforced this time around? It seems like they've been rather inconsistent with the ruling on that; they've ranged everywhere from Kuramochi hanging onto the last Rokudantobi step for dear life in SASUKE 16 to automatic disqualification for touching your palm on any of them with the Dome Steps in SASUKE 25.

On top of that the other variants of steps it was legal as well, Godantobi, Rokudantobi, Jyunidantobi and Step Slider it was all legal on, Dome Steps were the odd ones out.

If you want to defend Yamada, probably don't bring up Stuart Hall, a disgraced TV Icon and convicted child sex offender...
EDIT: Sorry for backtracking the topic, just thought it needed to be pointed out.

Okay so this was a debate in a skype call late last night: Do you consider the steps to the Roller Hill as one obstacle or two? Is there any official ruling for this anyways?

Good, that's what I said while someone else considered it all to be one obstacle I know people got confused when during the Wednesday Downtown thing they included it as 1 big obstacle for the purposes of the video game thing since you couldn't effectively bail on the Rolling Hill to do the Mario thing. LOL Think of it as the connection between the UCCH to Vertical Limit. They are separate obstacles but no break between them.

Yeah I told him that you wouldn't consider the Jumping Bars + Hang Climb + Spider Flip trio to be one obstacle, and that the Steps and Rolling Hill look nothing alike and function very differently so they don't seem like one obstacle

To be honest I think the regular Sextuple Steps into the Rolling Hill would have been quite harder than the Quad Steps into the Rolling Hill.
