If anything, they should make Sasuke 25 like Sasuke 19, except with the complete overhaul.
Basically, I'm saying they should make nearly every obstacle INSANELY hard.

I like the Giant Salmon Ladder idea (can you imagine) but scnoi's comments were bang on- the multi-rope idea may come into play or maybe something like the Viking final stage ropes. Don't think we'll see the final stage for some time though so I am more interested in stages 1-3.

Wasn't there a rumor they tried to make the concept final stage with the 3 ropes for 18 and had technical problems with it? To be honest I can't really see a safe way they would have done it like in the sketch. Maybe if they had one thing up against one side of the wall (lets just say a ladder like that pic Lee Enchi put up of 21 because I can't see them jamming a spider climb to one side of the wall) and have one of those metal frame pieces sticking out (I have no idea the real name and can't look it up if I don't have the name so I'll just show you a picture of A lego one I have XD) and a rope is tied to that that goes halfway up the second half of the final stage (So 3 quarters of the way up  ) and sticking out from the hole up top in it's usual place another rope climb, transfer to that and once you're on the frame holding the second rope goes into the tower. Although the problem with that I see is the safety harness getting caught, then that'd make it more dangerous.. |

Yea, they initially tried that with no luck, then I believe they tried a final stage like this:
Metal Ladder
2 Rope Climbs
Either they couldn't do that for technical problems or whatever time limit they had was impossible for anyone to even come close as all the testers timed out just as they reached the second rope. Whatever the reason, they did away with it and the Final Stage we all know was put in its place. Obviously I have no way of proving this is true or not, just what I have heard from various sources.

Seems like they ran out of ideas for the final stage, which is why we got this abomination  Hope they come up with something really cool. I love watching final stage runs. |

I think I heard the 2 rope thing was for 20-21 after 3 ropes from 18-19 didn't work, But I'm not sure how true that rumor is.

They'd have to make the final stage taller to come up with anything now (they increased by a foot with the ladder and rope combo) imo which could be potentially dangerous. Or they could just leave the final alone and bank on no one reaching the final  |

I'm starting to think TBS is making trimonthly tournaments to avoid G4 getting anything together Well, this would really suck for most of us, not to mention Levi, Brian, etc...  |

IIRC Levi said he saw the SASUKE 20 final stage set up. Maybe we could ask him what it was? |

He's not allowed to talk about the obstacle really? hmm. I woulda thought he could have since its WAY past SASUKE 20 and a shin-sasuke kazenseiha has been achieved. |

He told me on facebook it is a steel ladder before the rope THAT IS IT!
I asked him after 22 aired if it was originally steel below the rope climb and he said all they did was change the ladder from steel to wood/rope.

Since that final stage was never reached OR seen to viewers.. maybe they're saving it to work out the problems and making it the final for 25? |

As for 25 I think it will be taller and they will employ the 3 rope slider climb finale they seem to be wanting badly. I would not expect to see anyone attempt it for a while though.

I hope the final stage is harder. The new one seemed a lot easier than 5-17's.

K since Levi did say it was steel then yes it can be confirmed (outside of all the screenshots proving it as well ) Personally i wanted to see people on it so I was disappointed they changed it to rope. |

Yeah he deffo did I can paste his words if need be.
Anyway yeah time for the tower to be made taller for a complete new challenge I still really want to see the rope transfer brought into play.
As for the other stages the only obstacles I can see remaining albeit made harder are the cliff hanger, warped wall, salmon ladder and wall lift.

Rope transfer.
Here's a question for all of you. How would you safely implement this?

I personally love the idea of a Salmon Ladder Final Stage. It's a great obstacle, but I always thought it was out of a place in Stage 2 as that stage used to always be about speed.

10 Meter Salmon Ladder/10 Meter Double Rope *40 seconds* what I mean by double rope is having two ropes parrallel to eachother going upwards. The giant salmon ladder is a good ideo not only for a time waster but for an enrgy drainer as well. And of course i dont take credit for the salmon ladder idea It should take competitors 25+ seconds to complete the salmon ladder part, 2.5+ to convert from salmon ladder to double rope, and 20+ seconds to climb up the ropes. Meaning, the final stage will be unbeatable unless you are some type of Super Human, but of course this stage is possible, maybe...... |
