Really?? Watch 2nd, you will see... With all respect to Chie Nishimura, because making it through the first stage in any Sasuke is proof of ability, there is really no comparison to the newer Sasukes. If Chie were to compete at her old skill level in the newer tournaments, I doubt she'd make it past the HPA. I think that is what they mean by wanting to see a woman pass the first stage. Not that it hasn't happened, but it hasn't happened since they added in even the Rolling Maruta.

My predictions:
15-20 people into the Second Stage including many trial guys, All-Stars, Shin Sedai, and new competitors. Another "rivalry" type clearing storyline ala SASUKE 23 (Japan Trials vs. American Trials) Malaysian guy clearing along with Li En Zhi and Americans (4 nations represented in the 2nd stage would be awesome, even more would be great too) Returning competitors (Jordan, PAT)
Second Stage, many people clear, hopefully all of the strong competitors. Please keep it the same as 26's stage 2.
Third Stage, UCH clear by someone, anyone. As long as there is one and we get to see the remaining obstacles in action, this will be a good tournament.

Shingo making it to the 2nd Stage and performs a huge cat leap across the balance tank without even going on the tank!
Takeda competing
Nagano making it pass the 1st Stage, but not the second. I have my reasons...
1st Stage remodeled with new mat color.
Shingo Yamamoto being the only all star to make it to the final stage, how epic would that be?
Yuuji, Kenji, or one of the UC's demolishing the UCH. If not, all of them.

Please make the Unstable Bridge harder. That's not me trying to not take your post seriously, this was pretty much my exact facial expression reading this. It's only had one tournament where everyone who attempted it passed it, and it almost caused Okuyama to time out because he spent forever trying to clear it. What could possibly be the reason to even make it harder. Not to mention do you seriously expect someone to be able to jump a bigger gap when it can be troublesome just to get the board to swing back and forth?

^Well, they could add the Swing Ladder after the Unstable Bridge. It wouldn't be impossible and anyone who can make it to the end of the UB can probably manage to hang on just a little longer.
To make that change realistic, they could remove the Balance Tank...
Still, I seriously hope they don't make it harder.

I meant just put the second board to the left of the first board, that's about it.
And I really hope that the Metal Spin takes out someone.

We've seen a harder version of the unstable bridge at ANW3. They didn't construct it correctly so the 2nd board swayed drastically from side to side. Only 1 pass out of 13. Wasn't very fun to watch.

Did not catch that, but it sounds very difficult, and only one pass out of thirteen? That IS too hard, even I have my limits.

Nagano passing at least stage 1 and 2, and possibly demolish the UCH Bunpei competing, Takeda coming back Yuuji passing stage 1 at least A new interesting obstacle in stage 1 An Unstable Bridge fail different from "yeah I landed - oh no I'm going backwards shi-" An All-Star getting to the final stage, and spider climb back on the tower. Also a setup that allows again to "drop" competitors when they fail would be nice.

I'd like to see a deep stage three run. Something nice and dramatic.
Would sort of enjoy seeing something similar to Takeda's second fail on the spider flip. The sheer amount of drama and emotion in that half minute was amazing.
Mr. Octopus clearing the RE and having a shot at the JS.
Yamada clearing stage 1.

I agree with artyfowljr, spider climb was much better then boring ******* Heavenly ladder.
Unstable bridge is enough difficult, as well i dislike combination with salmon ladder, I prefer 23rd version.

Hope that all all-stars clear stage 1 and Nagano and Lee go very far, possibly almost beating stg 3.

The trailer or previews not spoiling results is my wish. The last one showed Shinya's, Kanno's and David's fails.
