LOL Chief sorry. my patience level these days is in an all-time low LOL I hear ya. I thought the changes to it were good, and definitely think it deserves to be in the stage. The whole stage is deadly and every obstacle has the potential to eliminate people. Now, if that exact Second Stage was 5 seconds shorter, I think it would be perfect because people would also be cutting it close on time.

Didn't 24 have a little mat thing at the end you could stand on before climbing the rope? I believe they got rid of it in 25, so that's good. Yes it should stay for now.

What? no... the difference is that the rope is a lot shorter now... so jumping like shingo did is a bad idea. In 24 EVERYONE jumped. In 25 it wasn't such a good idea.

There was also a mini-mat at the end in 24. There was no mat in 25, I'm pretty sure.

Well.. I have to have a pic for everything.. So 24/25 Balance Tank comparison (yeah.. I used the first attempt pic in both tournaments.. what of it ) Also david.. theres no mat, that was an optical illusion created by the stoppers for the tank. And they were still there in 25 just with the low quality it was hard to see them EDIT: Hey! Shingo disproved both of those things you said

Could've sworn there was a mat! I remember one of the competitors stood on it before climbing the rope, the guy who was a muscle musical member? I could be wrong.

That was Ishikawa Terukazu who was in that picture, and he jumped and was holding onto the rope with his feet on the wall.. Several other people just got to the end and had one foot on the tank and one foot on the rope.

What I don't understand is if Brian rolled all the way to the end (I think he did anyways) and still cleared, why couldn't Shingo? I swear, sometimes his lack of logic on certain obstacles are more sad than funny.

The smell of that gas must be getting to his head.
All joking aside I believe the balance tank should be back for 26 at least.

When I first saw it I was pretty angry, "why is this back?" After what happens, it should return for the next tournament but it should be more difficult. Longer track or steeper track.

Apparently not, as it turned out.

Aside from the fact that it wiped my favourite All-Star, and my favourite non-All-Star (what does that say about my abilities I wonder XD), I think this obstacle is just out of place, and too easy. I was very surprised to see anybody fail it, not to mention disappointed to see those particular competitors fail on it

I always believe that familiarity of an obstacle causes people's minds to relax and falter. That's why you still have people failing obstacles that in any other situation would almost seem unfailable. That's why I love Sasuke

That's why I love Sasuke Which is why all 3 people to get Kanzenseiha either failed on an obstacle they've passed or a variation of one?

And I'm the Sasuke trivia guy who has a pic for everything so there.. Lol true Good job getting that pic. Was he impatient? Holy crap he thinks he's Superman with that jump. no he jumped it because he was running out of a time did you looked at his time

You miss the whole point of what we were discussing.. he HATES the obstacle.. running out of time or not he will always jump it.
