By the way, in lieu to where the 3rd stage obstacles are, seems like Jump Hang is placed early, and before the obstacle shown in SASUKE 23 navi.
And seems more like tarzan rope to me.

And seems more like tarzan rope to me. I pointed out in the JH shot you can see what looks to be the setup of the boards + rope obstacle, I think the JH is in the usual spot but the new obstacle takes the place of where the Bungee Bridge and HPA were in Shin Sasuke.
Upon furthur inspection it looks like you're right, I guess Rope Junction was just a test or something? at the end it looks like you grab two ropes and swing and jump to the mat.. which explains the extra padding on top and why it's so big

OH MY FU**ING GOD!!
That looks awesome!!! Every obstacle shown was just amazing, though the jump hang didn't get much of a difficulty upgrade that I was expecting(Looked easier to me than before actually)
That 2nd platform obstacle to rope glider looks fun, definitely going to mark a good strategy for it(Honestly I think I have one already)
Im in love with the salmon ladder idea, who in their right minds comes up with this stuff!? I figured it would be all 18 inch gaps but this is great!
Im loving the new cliffhanger too, all i need to know is what are the size of the gaps?? But I will say this about that cliffhanger, it doesn't look nearly as impossible as I expected after hearing finalists say it was "impossible" but it still is an imaginative upgrade that I totally welcome!!(And have no damn room to build either!)
And that final obstacle does look potentially look unfair, in the vid it looks like even with a perfect distance jump you might slide forward too much and fall in... but I like it anyway!

I'm surprised nobody said this yet, but doesn't the 2nd obstacle that they showed remind any of you of the one obstacle that they had in the semifinals of ANW?

But this one has a sliding rope. I think that Shingo probobly slipped up there. Man, i really hope the all stars did well. None of them were shown.

How amazing is it that ten seconds has gotten us hyped for 25 even more now than ever?

Wow. That's not quite what I was expecting.
At first I thought that running platform thing was the 2nd obstacle, but looking closer it does seem like it's that parallel bit after the Jump Hang. First stage looks like it's going to be another long one.
Salmon Ladder looks evil at first sight, but I get the feeling it might not be as hard as it looks. That said, I'm not at all sure how it's attempted, or how you even get on the damn thing; the platform on the right looks really low.
Cliff Hanger is... lol. It's a beast, ridiculously huge. The bit with the tiny ledge looks almost impossible.
Might have to forego watching any more trailers, Navi, etc. While it's exciting to see it, it's annoying recognising major competitors and having their results spoiled. Only 1 so far, but still.

First of all, I dont mind it but I urge people to do it as little as possible. That is trying to "predict" who was shown on what obstacles. It always becomes a "shitstorm" and a lot of people get offended, etc. Speculation is fine but don't argue about it please. Also if you're going to "predict" who failed on an obstacle please give a prior warning (someone in this thread did, that person is cool) Second of all... HOLY s*** Stage 3 is going to return to it's former glory <3 It was my favorite stage in the 5-17 era, and once shin-sasuke started it was my least favorite. Now it might go back as my number 1. The cliff-hanger is on a whole new scale than before... wtf. I don't think anyone was expecting that... it's HUGE. How are we gonna build replicas now? xp One problem though, once you get up to the higher ledges, won't your feet bang against the wall? I know when I do my cliff-hanger at home there is a spot where there is a pole and it messes up the way I swing my legs, and it's just annoying. This could cause a lot of problems if competitors can't freely move their legs.

This could cause a lot of problems if competitors can't freely move their legs. Agreed it could be a problem, but it juts outwards significantly just under the top ledge, presumably to make room for swinging legs and, now that I notice it, making getting up there in the first place a whole lot harder.

You're right, I missed that. Okay so the top section is easier than I thought... because getting up to the top seems MUCH harder now. Holding onto that ledge looks tough.

For some weird reason i actually see Nagano beating the new cliff hanger. But can easily see okuyama and Kongu failing it.

OK Im POSITIVE what the last obstacle is... Vertical Salmon Ladder. You can even see after his second jump the third rung.

Yeah I guess you could call it that since it has little divets you have to land in... but I think there's more to it than that which we havn't seen, like maybe after all of that a piper slider ending? I dunno. (Yes I want the pipe slider back )

Also, does anyone think that if Urushihara got to the Cliff Hanger v5.0 (yeah, that's I'm calling it for now ) in Sasuke 25, even he would have failed it? I think we all know that he and the rest of UNCLI are Cliff Hanger masters, but still...

2. They already have a Salmon Ladder, repeating in just in a different way in a different stage in the same torunament is redundant.
3. The motions are more similar to the Jumping Bars, just instead of jumping bar to bar, you're taking the bar with you.
I am NOT trying to cause an argument, I just want to comment on this particular statement:
"That is trying to "predict" who was shown on what obstacles. It always becomes a "shitstorm" and a lot of people get offended, etc. Speculation is fine but don't argue about it please. Also if you're going to "predict" who failed on an obstacle please give a prior warning (someone in this thread did, that person is cool)"
Well aside from like two insignificant instances, they were in the spoiler tags, imo it's fair game once they're there. That just goes with the territory.
