jfeathe: I agree completely. And I think it will be cleared next tournament, short of Nagano, Lee, Yuuji, and any other formidable competitor getting taken out very early on. Everyone who feels they have a chance at reaching stage 3 will be clocking in overtime training for stage 3 now, and the overall level of skill and training curretly is so high that I think it will get beaten in 26. And I also agree that its a necessity to train the first obstacles of stage 3(well anything mimicking the muscles needed), they all need their griping endourance to go way up in order to have strength left for the UCH. Personally I would(and am going to) train my leg gripping strength really hard as to preserve hand grip on the hanging doors and save it for later.

I think only 1 will beat it next time. If the consistent group of Okuyama, Kongu, Lee, Hashimoto, and Yuuji all make it, only 1 will beat it, but the rest will def get further into it.

But these testers don't have to run the whole course before taking on that obstacle. And it only showed one guy getting to the first top ledge- we don't know how much further he got. I think the prodecers realized afte the show that the new CH is imossible as is. During one of the adbreaks you see that tester actually fall off as he is going along the top ledge.... lol On side note as ive said already in another thread the rest of stage 3 looks perfectly do able once you passed the UCH.

Yeah the 2d half looks easier than the first half. I dont think thats a good idea. Once again, they should put peg boards and heartbreaker in the second half. + make the first 2 obstacles longer.

In the UCH specs thread, I talked about how Koji and Lee (the only two to actually attempt getting to the third ledge) didn't get to the end of the second ledge which would have made the reach a hell of a lot closer to reach for it (like the tester did when TBS showed that getting to the third ledge was possible). So that covers the first half, I imagine as long as you can hold yourself up long enough to reset your swing on the small ledge it's a matter of how quick can you finish before your fingers hate you forever.

I would disagree with that only because the first three obstacles and the UCH will kill your strength and all of those obstacles require you to just hang there for long periods of time without rest.

I fully believe the obstacles past the UCH will be very easy to beat. The Jumping Rings to Ascending Ropes looks (dare I say) easier than the Jumping Bars/ Hang Climbing combo.
And everyone can do the Jumping Bars...
But why have TWO "jumping" obstacles? That's a terrible idea IMO. There's no creativity and they're easier. What happened to the good old "hang on for dear life" obstacles?
I think this renewal has appropriately earned the name "The Jumping Era."

When someone reaches the final then they should probably alter the ascending rope junction for something similar to the ascending climber.

On side note as ive said already in another thread the rest of stage 3 looks perfectly do able once you passed the UCH. I don't know about this. That Jumping Pipe obstacle looks pretty tricky, especially considering that you have to do the "jump" part very precisely on the tracks multiple times in order to pass it. If this weren't there (perhaps replaced with the Pipe Slider instead), then I'd agree with you; however, that appears too darn hard to make the post-UCH part of Stage 3 seem "perfectly do-able". Also, I think this renewal has appropriately earned the name "The Jumping Era." Hmm... 1. Jump Hang 2. Bridge Jump 3. Circle Slider 4. Slider Drop (sort of) 5. Double Salmon Ladder 6. Metal Spin 7. Jumping Rings 8. Jumping Pipe ...well, I can't argue with that.

I never said the jumping pipe was easy it is very hard but with good corordination its perfectly do able it doesn't feel impossible thats all. Where as the UCH has a impossible feel to it hence I see it as the biggest challenge.

i still don't get why they don't make a harder version of the salmon ladder for stage 3. Seems to me if they had twice as many rungs it'd be super hard.

A: I don't think you'd realize how high up that is if they did it.. B: One of the parts making the Salmon Ladder challenging is the fact you have to try to hurry so you don't time out.. Take away the time limit and guess what happens?

Take away the time limit and guess what happens? It could work espcially if it was one of the first obstacles, but in any case why not make the final stage one huge salmon ladder?

Where as the UCH has a impossible feel to it hence I see it as the biggest challenge. I understand that it's not as difficult as the UCH, but (like you said) it's nowhere close to easy. As I've said before, on the Jumping Pipe your jumps have to be extremely precise, and even then you could slip off like one of the testers did in that 50-second-long Sasuke 25 trailer (to be exact, there was a tester at the end of it shown trying the Jumping Pipe during the daytime, and although they had the precision to land the jump, the pipe still slid off). So don't take for granted that someone could beat Stage 3 after getting past the UCH, especially when considering both this and the fatigue from all of the other previous obstacles.

Because that would be even more ridiculously difficult than anything else that's ever been on Sasuke. Nobody would even make it halfway up.

I wonder how the stage finishes. Is it just that you jump from the pipe to the end or is it more of a pipe slider at the very end?

What are you talking about? They showed in the Navi that the end of the notches is just the end, So you must swing, jump and land on the mat

I just had an evil idea! Make the competitors carry the pipe for the jumping pipe with them through the jumping ring and rope junction.
