		Sumo matches aren't really supposed to last long, but this aspect of the game feels a little unbalanced in that you usually win every match in the exact same manner; being able to push an opponent out of the ring or slap him into submission once in a while would be cool.

		if i had to recommend going to an all-day sumo wrestling event or attending a japanese baseball game (which i did on a previous visit to japan), i would definitely go to the sumo wrestling game first as the quintessential japanese sports experience.
