Well, what do you think? Considering that he is a firefighter and has plenty of rope-climbing and ladder-climbing skill/experience, I would have to choose either choice #1 or choice #2---unsure which is a better choice though. P.S.---Sorry if part of the question is cut off. The question is: In Sasuke 23, Takeda failed Stage 3 once again when he fell on the Spider Flip. If he did pass Stage 3 this time (or in any of his past 11 Stage 3 appearances), how would he have done in the Final Stage? test

If Takeda did what? This question doesn't make sense

Sorry, I previewed it beforehand and I thought that the whole question would show since it all showed up there. When part of it got cut off when I posted the question, I tried to fix it but couldn't find any way to do so, so I put the entire question below. LOUSY STINKIN' TYPING FORMAT!

Well, from all the video's I see of him. I think he would beat it since he seems to practice rope climbing a hell of a lot. At home and at work.

Still think Nagano is a better rope climber and I've seen them do it ramblingrican.blogspot.com/2009/05/2009-maguro-festival-videos.html one right after each other.. I still find Nagano to be stronger. So for this poll since Nagano didn't make it I'll say almost beat it. Takeda got really tired going up the Spider flip and almost didn't make it at all over that hump.. In fact.. Akiyama tied Takeda on the rope climb on this thing.. while Nagano beat them both.

Really? That's kind of ironic since I heard that Takeda and Akiyama were really fast rope climbers compared to Nagano, who I think has been said to have had more difficulty with rope climbing than these two. Maybe I'm wrong!

Takeda looks so light, I bet he could do it in time. I mean, he's beaten the first stage with like 30 seconds on the clock, showing he has some stamina. So yeah, I think he could go. all. the. way.

Don't get me wrong .. I LOVE Takeda but he has the same problem Levi does.. he's fast with his legs. Granted yes he is much stronger with his arms and it shows with his stamina year in year out. NO one has the Stage 3 record/consistency in Sasuke but him. That said. Nagano just has natural talent and also works hard on his arms AND has the technique to go up that rope fast.
Akiyama was a beast when he was training hard for the course. Now he's still fast up the rope but not as fast as he used to be. He just doesn't train consistently for it. Takeda is lucky in a way to be in the line of work that he does since he's always fit. Yamamoto is screwed.. even in that video I linked. Shingo crapped out before the top.. LOL

I have a feeling Takeda could climb up that rope ladder better than anyone else has so far, and because of that, beat the stage.
Dunno, though.

He's got the stamina sure, but it keeps looking like for his appearances in stage 3, he's been losing it just near the end, so if he did manage to make it to the final stage, it'll be REALLY close. He may be able to beat it, but I still think it'll come down to the wire like Nagano back in his 2nd Final appearance.

I swear WHEN Takeda gets to the final stage.. when he hits the mat from Stage 3 there will be a friging 10.0 earthquake from the thunderous roar! I know I'll be causing one on this side of the pond

He would do a Nagano either beat it or lose out by a second or two.

I've always thought that Takeda would be the most likely to beat the final stage if he ever got to it. I actually think that may be a huge contributing factor to him becoming an All-Star: he can climb rope the best. This is, in fact, why he is my 2nd favourite All-Star (Shingo wins for me)

I think he will finally reach it in 24 or 25 latest.

Maybe. Depends on if he screws up on some random obstacle before Stage 3, and how good he is at the Gliding Ring. He has been improving, albeit slightly, if you see where he failed in 21 and 23...but a year to improve half an obstacle isn't all that great.

I find it hard to believe that someone with Takeda's skill set has upper-body issues. Are there no rock walls in Japan?
Actually, though, it seems to be a matter of arm endurance (sort of like that other Gifu firefighter). Based off of the EMS footage and past performance, Takeda's a sprint climber. Unless he can find a way to put some more in the tank, Stage 3 will forever be his Waterloo.

Other Gifu Firefighter? You mean Yamada Koji?
And if Takeda makes the final stage he has a pretty good shot at clearing it, we know he's a good rope climber, and he's a firefighter so he pretty much has no choice but to be fast climbing up ladders (Especially unstable ladders like that)

After jumping, he kicked the wall and fell.
