Flying Chute 20

[Zorn]

If the flying chute in Sasuke 20 was at the height it was in 19 but still had the same thickness do you think it would've affected the results?

I don't know, maybe it could have given a bit of problems to Meeuwenberg with his strange tecnique but he would have pass it, in my opinion.

One more or less insect flying around on the day of the competition could have given us a new champion for all we know.

So, yes, it could have affected the results.

I think that more people would have failed it. The thin rope in 19 was placed very far away. Competitors could hold on with one hand and reach the net. With the thick rope, most competitorswould have to hold on with both hands and reach for the with their. The distance in 19 would make it very hard to catch the rope with use of feet. The competitor would have to be very tall. ex. PAT

Thickness wasn't the matter, it was the fact that people couldn't jump far enough. For example, Nagano tried to just simply grab it, which it didn't work. Most competitors who beat it, literally, bear hugs the rope under their armpit, whichever one it is (one or both).

So yes, the distance would've definately changed the results.

I don't think the distance was changed much if at all between 19 and 20, the problem in 19 was due to the ridiculous recoil. (see: Shunsuke Nagasaki)

Yes, I think the distance away from the chute stayed the same, but the height was changed to be same as 18's. That let people take their time down the chute and thus the whiplash wasn't as great as 19.

Well actually everything wasn't as great as 19 but whatever.
