Double Post: What I don't get is that in the ending for Sasuke 20, before the quick tower shot, the hug between Levi and Nagano showed no ladder. Someone please ask Levi for clarification (like if they set it up later to show or something), as I am not good with formal conversations... >_>

Like we have said before though, the ladder could swing making it harder to climb... and like I said, it takes some Kunoichi competitors over 30 seconds to climb that 5 meter ladder and were dealing with a 10 meter ladder, however it doesn't look like a swing ladder, time limit could also be 20 sec. like someone said and has anyone thought that this could be a ploy to make everybody think that the final stage is a ladder and a rope, for all we know its just a distraction.

Kunoichi competitors =/= Sasuke Competitors. And even if it is 20, with the ladder being the obstacle thats plenty of time.

I understand that Kunoichi competitors are not what Sasuke competitors are, but still, a swing ladder in the open area like that would take a good amount of time even if it isn't that hard.

But its a stationary Ladder, thats the problem. And besides that a Swing Ladder would be a long a** set of monkey bars. That would actually be a better final stage then a straight up ladder because it'd be harder on the upper body but getting the harness through might be a problem plus how would they pull it away for the rope climb without it falling completely over. So it'd be more of a problem then it'd be worth. Although if they had this angled and make it arms only there might be a chance for this Final Stage being tough, But that'd be just a steep long Climbing Bars though.

You got a good point there, I just can't imagine this as the final stage, it makes no sense in my mind.. it's gotta be a ploy.

I know, going from a Spider Climb to a Ladder, there has to be some kind of catch.

Rider I was the one who said it was a ladder way before any of you and also a note to supernova maniac , I showed a similar picture to that but even clearer from few months ago er here.. When I originally showed these I was shot down for them by including you rider, Now you say "oh it could be a ladder I think i'm right", you hypocrite lol.

Rider: You know, that in past competitions, the final rope was very steady and unmoving, very straight wouldn't you say?
WHAT IF, it is a rope ladder so that it swings a lot?

Hey I talked about this too on the g4 forums: Yeah I posted that picture too around same time as the others and was shot down for it. People are just in denial because its not a spider climb and 3 ropes which while i would have loved to have seen that its impractical on the tower thats actually on the course.

So the final stage...
Same heigth
Same rope climb length
Replace Spiderwalk for what we think is a ladder...
That's weaksauce, if anyone amkes it to the final stage, they'll have an easy time beating it.
I sincerely doubt they'd change the time limit, it doesn't seem right.
Possible, but doubtful.

arm only ladder climb though and 25 seconds would make it solid enough!

And then they'd be using the Final Stage from Kunoichi with a rope and not a pole Side Note: Am I the only one that notices that in the Kunoichi Final Stage they quickly have to climb a red pole? (*Insert Giggity Here*)

>_> don't even say it. I meant in the terms of display, not during the competition. So the final stage... Same heigth Same rope climb length Replace Spiderwalk for what we think is a ladder...

Nope I believe the ladder goes up to about 15m mark. (>_>)

This ladder thing is so bogus, the Kunoichi final stage is tougher than it

Well, srw has dibs on the ladder theory since he suggested it way back in April 2008 after Sasuke 20. So if he's right, he gets all the bragging rights, if he's wrong, ...well that's a different story.
