Well I expect (provided M9 doesn't rework the course again for 26) that there will be a lot more clears. Given a) ANW guys are taller b) the element of surprise is now gone c) people who overthunk the Circle Slider (which I believe a lot of people just keep ignoring.. ) will get a grip and do better d) springboards around the world are going to be pwned this summer.. LOL Are you sure? What if Sasuke 26 turns out like 19? Were all screwed and SASUKE will end abruptly and ratings will crash beyond comprehension. Ive said this before = going deep into the course and final stage = ratings.

ANW guys may be able to do well on the new CH, but can they even get there is the real question. Levi was 0 for 2 on the previous version and Brian fell on obstacle 2. Again, the CH is IMO unbeatable because of the previous stages and obstacles before it. Anyone can make a model in their backyard and practice 24/7. But when you have to conquer the CH after 2 stages and 3 new grueling obsatcles that sap your arm strength...well I say good luck to whoever can beat it. If someone beats, then bada and other on here can say told ya so.

The first one to clear it will be the person who masters the first three obstacles. I know every has the ability, but you need close to all your strength to clear it.
I think using legs on the Floating Boards hurts more then it helps. I think going across Curtain Cling style is the best way.

I have the feeling that it's going to be an All-Star, I only wonder if it's going to be Nagano or Takeda. As soon as they reach it, they will beat it. I'm not speculating or anything, it's not a logical thinking...just guts. Takeda was the first to pwn the Shin-Cliffhanger, after all. I know, I know, it's a different thing...but it's just a feeling. Off Topic: jfeathe eh, that's way harder, IMO. It's like the difference between hanging from a ledge and hanging from a bar. Plus, just look at Okuyama's run...if he didn't manage to hang on with his knees at the last moment, he would have fell there. springboards around the world are going to be pwned this summer.. LOL LOL...that gave me a bunch of priceless mental images!

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a New Star, or maybe other. My money is on either Yuuji, Hashimoto, or Lee Enchi.
On a side note, kind of odd that I refer to one by his first name, another by his last name, and the last by his full name.

Unfortunately, I think it'll be a few more tournaments until anybody passes the cliffhanger, barring a re-design of the 3rd stage. Like Lars said, there's too much stuff before the CH that'll wear you out. Yuuji or Kongo will probably be the first to beat it. I wouldn't count out Hashimoto either.

I bet somebody gets past it next tournament. Unless of course, it ends up like Sasuke 19.

My prediction is that a UCH clear = a third stage clear; and if they f-up the Final Stage time limit like in 22: a final stage clear.
I seriously hope they do a 18->19 renevation of the third stage; had Nagano not grabbed the top of the SCH, there would have been kanzenseiha in 18.

I seriously hope they do a 18->19 renevation of the third stage; had Nagano not grabbed the top of the SCH, there would have been kanzenseiha in 18. I disagree. The first three obstacles of 25's Third Stage have proven that competitors will be tired by the time they reach the UCH, let alone beat it, something that Shin-SASUKE's Third Stage NEVER had. Also, once they actually do beat the UCH, most are going to be dead tired. Plus, these obstacles do look like you will be hanging from your arms for long stretches at a time. Also, remember people said similar things about obstacles like the Spider Flip and Gliding Ring, words like "unfailable". As Shin-SASUKE progressed, it was definitely proven that they weren't "unfailable". I don't think this stage is impossible by any stretch, but I also don't think it is as automatic as people make it out to be once the UCH is beaten.

OK I'm going on record and saying "If I get to stage 3 in Sasuke 26 and it's the same as Sasuke 25, I will pass the Cliffhanger" and if I don't, well you can laugh at me and tell me I suck!

I know, I know, it's a different thing...but it's just a feeling. I know you clarified by saying its just a feeling and no logical thought processes are behind it, but I think Takeda would need a miracle, or a younger body with more endurance(much more) to beat stage 3 at this point. He definitely doesn't have what it takes to make the final stage anymore, he couldn't even clear the old stage 3. Nagano on the other hand, I think he will up his training for 26, seeing as I don't think he would have cleared stage 3 in 25, and he will clear it in 26 as long as he makes it to stage 3(IMO).

I have a feeling that it's going to be a New Star passing it first, mainly with the fact that the All Stars are usually placed further back in the order.
As far as who exactly....not sure just yet, but just maybe, Koji can be the first, as long as he learns from his mistake.
