Okay gents we all know that the Wall Lift has been in Sasuke for a long time, it may go in 25, it may not.
I quite like it though as a finish for Stage 2 for tradition's sake.
So assuming it stays should it be modified at all? What do you think?
Oh and if they are made heavier, Shingo is f***ed lol

I added a 4th wall on my courses, it seems to work out pretty good.

That would be cool to see. I assume the 4th wall would be 60kg, right?

On second thought, that sounds better for the 4th wall.
If there were 4 walls in 25, the 4th being 60kg, people like Yuuji would be lifting more than his body weight.
Don't get me wrong, he could do it, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

lol, if the walls were increased for Shin-SASUKE, we'd still be looking for a Third Champion

The wall lift will be there. Its been in every tourney except for 18? I think they will make the walls heavier. Yeah i agree, shingo is screwed unless he reaches the wall lift with like 25 secs left. lol

I disagree with the 4 walls idea. sounds like too much of a good thing to me. It is boring & repetitive. As i notice many of the Japanese competitors are pretty light in weight, i think making the wall 60kg is abit too much for many of them. How about making the 3 walls - 35kg, 45kg, 55kg? This will make the walls slightly harder but Yuuji would not have to retire ( if the walls were 70kg / 80kg, i think Yuuji is finished unless he bulk up seriously ). Ok, i may even agree with having 40, 50, 60 kg walls but i think the walls should be kept at 3.

I don't see them making a heavier one at the end.. If they add a 4th wall what they'd do would be a lighter one at the beginning. 25kg seem likely?

I like the idea of just keeping it at 3 walls, and like awee said, just slightly heavier or just the same as it always has been. Or like Rider said. Make the 4th wall 50kg and just bring the 1st one down.

Well for the past 2 Sasuke eras they just made it heavier right? Yeah I think the lift is gonna stay with 3 walls.

The announcer said the walls were 30kg, 40kg and 50kg. So that means aside from looks that means the Wall Lifting is the same as when it started. EDIT: nevermind, turns out it was 20kg, 40kg and 50kg for Sasuke 1.

I'm pretty sure it was 20, 30 and 40 kg to begin with. Then, sometime between Akiyama and Nagano's victories, they upped it to 30, 40 and 50 kg.

I'm liking this 30, 40, 50, 60 idea. It seems appropriate for a "perfect" renewal, in my opinion. Particularly as I assume they're going to keep the Wall Lift. It would seriously throw off a lot of people, and give an appropriate amount of Stage 2 fails from time-outs, as opposed to about 2 Metal Spin fails. I know it would definitely slow me down a fair amount lol

I trust that more because of the obsessed people around here.

I'd like to see 5 walls. 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. Going past 60 seems like too much, so put one on the lower end of the scale. 20 isn't going to do much, but I just want the whole obstacle to be longer.

Nah... lets not.
I mean, 3 walls is good.
4 walls is way to long.
5 walls would take hours. I have a life to live.
They need to get rid of the obstacle, its been their long enough, its had its good share of times, and yeah.
How about 3 walls you have to jump over, each getting progressively taller, or maybe you have to push 30kg wall into a 40 kg wall into a 50 kg wall. (A Tackle Machine, but you have to tackle multiple) The "Wall Jump" or the "Wall Push" instead of the lift.

it is strange to me more people voted for "more than 3 walls" than the other 3 choices combined. It is even more puzzling when i considered the unpopularity of the 'other Wall' which many here like to see it go away. The 'other Wall' got such a bad press ( blamed for Yamada's retirement, lost potential 'Nagano's, demise of Akiyama, Iketani, Jordan J, Korean Gymnast, Hamn brothers, Bunpei, Shingo & many others ) while the "3 walls" gave ONLY Shingo any real trouble. The others were just too slow at the earlier obstacles. Even Yuuji can cope with it. I think even Yuuji should be able to do 60kg. Strange World. 5 walls I don't have a life but still this is getting crazy... ;D
