Yah really, we all know he can beat the warped wall Only All-Star to never fail the Warped Wall. Now that's an achievement.

So that's the reason he wore #76 that day while everyone else was up high? Interesting.
So to rephrase, he's never failed the Warped Wall - in SASUKE competitions. Still, it's something. Sure, he's stumbled there before, but never failed. And he handled it in 21 like it was nothing (first try), even with the new height of the wall. So if he gets there in 23, he'll clear that too. I'm calling it.

If he can just beat the run-up platform to the Warped Wall he should clear stage one.

18: fails Flying Chute after... I'm not sure what. Must be fairly confident about the rest of the course, probably focuses on beating the chute. 19: fails toughened Jumping Spider. Probably concentrating on this for the next one. 20: passes Spider, attempts HPA for the first time and messes up the landing. Things to think about must be piling up by now. 21: sails through the course, overly cautious on the chute and gets hung up. Add another to the list of possible worries. 22: attempts to follow the track to the wall from muscle memory, fails to notice the change in path and falls.
I think a problem if you fail a stage several times is that there's so much that must be playing on your mind, all your previous failures, and maybe if you plan too hard not to repeat your mistakes you can overthink the course, and not focus on exactly what you're doing at the moment. I think in his mind he was already at the Warped Wall when he landed. Newcomers don't have the benefit of course experience, however they don't have the drawbacks of previous failures to overcome.
So what about next time? Well, thankfully this failure isn't a hard one to correct, but it might mess up his focus. He should in theory do the Spider and HPA easily, and the WW has never really given him problems. Since he doesn't really have to strategise for beating the plank, his attention will probably be focused on the Slider Jump. So he might overthink that, or just get it wrong like so many other first-timers did. Or he might make a mistake earlier. Or pass it.
So basically, it's impossible to tell, as it is with everyone else, but I'd put my money on him getting to the Slider Jump, having good time to pass the stage if he passes it.
Not sure why I elaborated so much on that. Oh well.

He is....but he really needs to get his head back in the game! If he's not making blunders, then bad luck is still on his side somehow (as evidenced in 19 and 20). I, like most of us here, want to see him make it next time.

We all want him to make it, but we all realize that it's not going to happen.

I wouldn't count him out just yet he still has a very good chance of clearing stage one.

There is the new and hard Slider Jump that he has yet to attempted. Also remember, Yamamoto has never attempted the Rope Ladder. He could get his feet tangeled up and time out. This doesnt mean that Shingo wont make it to stage two. But he really needs to step up his game, or he'll never see Red Button.

Shingo...well, he definitely still has the potential. He has excellent speed, usually leaves lots of time until he FAILS at...y'know, walking, but whether he'll pass in 23 depends on whether he makes another dumb mistake, or how he deals with the Slider Jump (of course). Don't think time will be such a big issue.

I REALLY hope he can advance as well. With the key mistakes he's been making, we're all going to be nervous about what he'll do.
I'm definitely agreeing with Arsenette with how with his hat being on backwards for the past few competitions, he's been getting K.O.'ed frequently, compared to having his hat on the "right" way, he's had more advances than DQ's.
Maybe he might try going back to the old way and he'll have much better luck this time. *shrugs*

or forget to press the button Woah, you wouldn't put it past him to do that? Imagine that - that'd be the MOTHER of all embarrassments. And last time he had his hat on forwards, he couldn't quite stick the landing on the Half Pipe Attack. Perhaps he needs to wear regular clothes again like he did in 1 and 4?.... ....yeah, no. Clothing, and certainly his cap, hardly matters.

Didn't one of the Hamm twins do that at the end of the second stage? The All-Stars were just confused. I would love to see Yamamoto in the second stage again and feel he has at least the physical capabilities to do so. As others have mentioned, it seems like it will come down to the mental aspect and/or if he makes any silly mistakes.

Paul Hamm was the one that forgot to press the button in the 14th (as the Wiki says). I remember seeing it; I was totally bummed out too.
Now if someone can answer/correct/clarify me on this, but wasn't that the first tournament where they used the button at the end on Stage 2?

Ah okay, I thought he forgot to hit the button because it was close to when they started using the button, but I was way off.
