SHIN SASUKE - Looked harder than it actually was?

[chackpop]

I think for Sasuke 24 they knew someone was gonna win before it even started. Stage One had a slight jump in difficulty, but the second and third stages became easier or the same difficulty wise. If not for Kanno and Nagano's suprising fails, we would have had 7 finalists.

[SRW]

I still reckon they had been building the UCH for a few month lol and badly wanted someone to win so they had a excuse to unleash it!! lol

You forget Takeda and Tajima, Tajima would've EASILY been finalist #6, and Takeda was hella close as-well.

It could've easily been 7 finalists, and it SHOULD'VE been 6 but... Tajima... ugh.

[SRW]

Takeda would have failed the gliding ring - he is forever cursed to never reach stage 4 =/

First, don't curse Takeda he'll make it there someday. I agree, but couldn't they just put it in in 24? We don't need a kanzzenseiha to change a new CH, remeber 8->9?

[supersheep]

We get a new CH when stage 3 gets modified, which seems to happen after a lot of clears, 7/8 had 3, 11/12 had 4, 17 had 2 and 23/24 had 7.

Of course more clears of stage 3 increases the chances of win, so they kind of go hand in hand.

[intelligentinfer]

Anyways, does anyone here think that the Final is doable in 35 seconds or less?

[SRW]

I think it should have been 35 from the go.

[artyfowljr]

Same here, a 35 seconds final would have been perfect. It would have taken more than a quite fast rope climb to defeat it.

[supersheep]

I disagree:

First final: 1/11
2nd Final: 1/10
3rd Final: 1/8

Close enough to even.

[intelligentinfer]

The first final is 1/12. Anyways to get back on topic IMO TBS gave up the current final stage after seeing their performances like in 22:
Yuuji gotten so close with such slow rope climbing we need to reduce the time.
In 23 they were like: Nagano got so close after reducing the time we should give up and let someone win to change the course.

[SRW]

If they had put it at 35 from the go which I felt it should have been no one would be slagging it off at all and we would still be in SHIN sasuke right now im sure.

Nagano really should have done it in 23 but he had been through the ringer that day.

Yuuji absolutly anhilated it in 24 - Shin SASUKEs final stage should not be getting obliterated or people close more or less every time.

The stage was great I liked the swaying ladder and the rope climb but the time limit overshadows it and ultimatly what lead to its conclusion in 24.

I swear down though no one would be dissing it had the time limit been 35 or less.

I really hope the 25 - onward one's time limit is much more considered otherwise that will be slaughtered too.

M9 - watch STICKMAN SASUKE VI you know you guys wanna do it! lol

[TCM]

I really don't see how anyone "slagged" off. I honestly want to see 35 as even plausible. I also want to see how many can say the time change from 45 to 40 was unfair, then call 40 seconds a reason Shin Sasuke was a failure. And how did Yuuji annihilate it? 3.5 was normal. 6.0 is annihilation.

[SRW]

It was unfair it cost Nagano a second title to be honest, When they made a mistake like that should have to take the consequences.

While I thought 40 was much better time I still feel 35 would have been better it would have took it to the next level from the last one too in terms of difficulty instead of being more or less the same. Nagano really should have won it in 23 but not gonna go into all that again lol.

Regardless it does not matter now - its been beat its done now its something else I just hope they do not c*** the time up on this one.

[Badalight]

It's possible with 35, honestly. Yuuji was not climbing that rope fast at all.

But it would be incredibly hard, which the final stage SHOULD be.

That way maybe no one will get this close.

I think that the third stage WAS actually harder in 18-20 because there were other obstacles that were harder versions of the obstacles of today. The Hang Climbing was once the Sending Climber and it had smaller rocks and you couldn't use your feet. The Gliding Ring was once the Final Ring (Not the Grinding Ring) and it had more of a Pipe Slider Function than a Circle Slider Function. The descending globes were at a lighter decline in 19, but it had smaller globes that were hard to grip and a giagantic jump at the end. 20 was the version we know today.

[ES-13]

Sorry, didn't know that this talked about the final stage, but I think that the final stage should have been the one we saw in the 17 ending, but with something harder than the Spider Climb.
