Now that Takeda and nagano have destroyed the "impossible obstacle"
We can now discuss teh osbtacles that came after it, how they are different han we actually though and what not.
By the way... While Takeda was doign the Shing-cliffhanger, and it was interupted by a CMS in the middle of it, Scnoi had a simple but briliant quote.
"Wow, talk about a CLIFF-HANGER!"
Best pun ever, and best quote of the entire chatroom.
Now onto my views of the new obstacles.
1. Jumping Bars: Straightfoward, except I didn't realize you had to JUMP to get to the first bar, in the older ones you just had to reach out.
2. Hang Climbing: (Not ascending climb) This is the rename of the osbtacle after it got update, ti's not even harder than before. The hold are white and the see through glass is now completely black. The holds at the bottom actually are almost completely round, making the beggining of this obstacle insane! But what's this? You can use your feet?! So as long as you can get up a few holds and get you're foot on it, it shouldn't as hard as we thought... but those first few holds are killer, congrats if you can get past them (Sorry Takeda, totally not your fault)
3. Spider Flip: Wow this was... kinda dissapointing. Nagano looked big on this thing, the climb up was child's play, like 3 meters long and you can put your hands anywhere basically. There IS a resting point which nagano DID used to rest on. And hey look at the freaking huge gap, 2 whole meters! If it was Levi he could probably reach across the damn thing! XD Dissapointing, but still cool, I bet this gap while be increased in the future.
4. Gliding Ring (Is that right? I forget): I don't know if the changed the name, or if we had it wrong in the first place... but this was TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. For one... it's not the pipe slider, let's get that out of the way. And this thing doesn't glide at all, it sticks. To get it down you ahve to hop like teh salmon ladder, except forward instead of straight up. Since it's a ring the hand-held is aquard and not as easy to hang onto as the pipe slider. And at the end even though we didn't get to see nagnao attempt the jump we cna safely assume it's not the pipe sliders jump. That ring was not moving forward at all even with the slant, what are the chances it will move backwards? it won't. On the pipe slider you had to worry about not going backwards, but now they've increased the gap and you just need to build all the momentum you can tos wing to the end.
based off the pipe-slider, but changed drastically.
