Is there anyone you see failing the rolling escargot this tournament, who passed it before?
Is there anyone you see failing the escargot again?

It is hard to say, I assume that the competitors are training for this obstacle. I'm just throwing a number out there, 60%-75% of the field will fail spectacularly. |

I can see maybe a few more clears than fails, especially seeing UNCLI doing their thing to train.
With the way of there being (off of a wild guesstimate) 3/7 clear/fail ratio, it may go down, but at the same time, it may stay the same with the way that with this obstacle, it's going to take some time to get used to, compared to Rolling Maruta and Log Grip.

I dont think it will be easily to predict a percentage. The rolling escargot is... just a weird obstacle. I felt that during 26 it was impossible to predict who it was going to drop into the water because it seemed like it was too unpredictable because it was taking down many high level competitors while many lower level competitors were getting through.

26 was it's first tournament. Look how others faired
Rolling Log-22 clear, 41 fail, 35% success rate
Jump Hang-10 clear, 20 fail, 33% success rate
Godantobi-50 clear, 50 fail, 50% sucess rate
Jumping Spider-17 clear, 16 fail 52% success rate
Rolling Escargot-27 clear,26 fail 51% success rate
Don't blame poor technique for 'it's unpredictable'

The Rolling Escargot needs drops, the only way that I envision fails is through drops and jumps.

Dude, it took out three finalists, and slowed down Yuuji, only half the people who attempted it cleared it They can't even think about adding drops until it's there a while, and even so it's not like the Rolling Maruta (which still had to wait 11 tournaments till it got them), where drops were extremely easy to put in, and have barely any worries about competitor safety. If you add drops to this thing, your almost asking for a lawsuit lol. |

You do realize that they had to stop the competition halfway, recall people and start again having redo's because the stupid thing wasn't working right and going too fast? Even so it was still too fast?

Even so it was still too fast? Really? I didn't know that. Why didn't they give redo's to people like Kanno? It was going wayyyy too fast for him. |

Kanno was #93, so it had already been adjusted and "fixed" for his run. Even then it was still extremely difficult. |

I guess the poor guy just pushed it a little hard  Do you know around what number it got re-adjusted? Who got re-dos? |

It needs drops... meh, I think it needs to be slanted so the bottom is far, and the top is towards the audience. Now THAT would be awesome.

I guess the poor guy just pushed it a little hard Do you know around what number it got re-adjusted? Who got re-dos? I'm not 100% sure when it got re-adjusted, but over half the field up to that point had failed there. If I were guessing that's probably in the mid-50s, early 60s. The exact number when it got re-adjusted right now is pure speculation, unless someone else knows otherwise. Also, if I were guessing, anyone up to that point who attempted it, or at least got close to completing it, was offered (doesn't mean they accepted) another 1st Stage attempt. It needs drops... meh, I think it needs to be slanted so the bottom is far, and the top is towards the audience. Now THAT would be awesome. Dude, have you even been reading the last few posts of this thread? There is no reason to make an obstacle harder when it's already decimating the field. The "goal" of Shin-SASUKE was to eliminate all 100 competitors in the 1st Stage. What do you want it to be now? Eliminate all 100 by the third obstacle??? |
