Well, My post was kinda half/half so...yeah... Now I don't know if the UCH is possible or not (regarding the platform since David Campbell actually reached the last bar) because of the platform height. Perhaps David knew he was running out of grip so he tried using the platform to get a better grip but was too far out. Just speculating of course.

Is it possible (and no it's not just because of the last post its been going on the past couple of pages) for this thread to please stay on the Sasuke 27 obstacle course and not predictions? The whole point of this is for those who want to see what it looks like without having to sift through pages of predictions for 28 or worse.. inventions altogether of what they saw like earlier.. It's already 12 pages long and a lot of crap in this thread. If someone can voice their opinion in this thread, they should be able to say what obstacles they like and don't like, and what they want replaced. Some posts I agree with you, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. We know all the obstacles now anywho.

And yes, Stage 3 is a joke, and it's because of the beloved Ultimate Cliff Hanger. You guys wanted this obstacle here, but it's so hard that the rest of stage 3 has rotted into this course. If this obstacle gets beat, and they don't get rid of it, I'm going to be pissed. I'm already disappointed that this obstacle exists, it's sucks that it's getting rid of my favorite obstacles with it...

I think they just went overboard on the design after seeing five competitors made it to the final stage in SASUKE 24. There are other ways to make it harder, but not nearly impossible. Now that it's here, it's probably not going to changed or removed.
Hmm, I noticed that an admin edited in the spoiler about the UCH. Must've forgotten since ANW3 premiered Monday. Anyways, I'll remember that next time.

*Crying for the Doorknob Grasper* Hopefully everyone's strength builds up to the point where we can have great pre and post UCH obstacles through training.

Shoot me for saying this but, I don't really mind stage 3. I think just one more obstacle before the UCH and if u nix the ladders and throw in one more swinging circle, you have a solid stage 3. Nothing can ever compare to the Sasuke 14-17 Stage 3. The closest was Sasuke 25 but it was TOO hard. I think this is a nice common ground between Shin Sasuke and Sasuke 14-17 in difficulty (if u put it perspective that is). Also, according to G4 (i know its suspect but i'll believe it until proven otherwise) there not in a straight line anymore, so that could be a fun lil trick to put in there. I think if you add something like the roulette cylinder + Arm Bike its a very solid 3rd stage.
Stage 2... just get rid of the balance tank. Hell, maybe a circle slider? or the gliding ring (just one shot obstacle). Just spit ballin' here
With stage 1, replace the giant swing with a bridge and i'm fine with it.

I decided to post a wishlist because I wanted my warning bar to go up to 75%.
I am glad the mods were kind enough to give me my wish.

Well I don't want my warning bar to go up, I want it to go down.
Anyways, SASUKE's third stage seems to be more of an experiment, I think they're trying to find a middle ground between SASUKE 25 and SASUKE 27's difficulty, once that middle ground is reached, we'll have a nice, tidy, hard, but not to hard Stage 3 in my opinion.

As I said before, obstacles such as the Chainsaw and Jumping Rings are very good ideas but they are simply too repetitive. 4 Jumping Rings would be the perfect succesor to the 4 Jumping Bars.
I agree with Bigblind about one more stand alone obstacle, but I think it would have to come after the UCH. A obstacle like the Globe Grasp, Cycle Road, or Devil Steps would be a good, easier obstacle to balance things out.
Unfortunately, the UCH has taken over the third stage. The Cliffhanger has always been the "main obstacle" and "midway point" but there's no way to make the third stage possible without surrounding it by substantially easier obstacles.

Well, in my opinion, it's way too soon to tell.

Dear everyone, I think you are all underestimating us. We will probably take out several top flight competitors you don't even know about. Haha. You think the Ultimate Cliffhanger is running the show now? Ha. We can't wait until you see the one Swing Circle jump crush your "new hero". And our Chain Saw? lol, you're judging an obstacle's difficulty by how it looks? Clearly you've never heard of the "Grinding" Ring! And the ladders, oh that's a kicker! You really think our ladders will help your favorite competitors? How can you rest your arms on such a tiny and thin ladder anyway? Just climbing around it will feel like an obstacle once they get there! Clearly you all did not think of testers experimenting on these obstacles... hardy har har. We can't wait until you see us in action. I think you will quickly change your minds Love, New Third Stage Obstacles

It's just dissapointing we didn't see anyone complete Sasuke's 25-26's first stage. We lost ALOT of cool obstacles that should've lasted a few more tournaments (RC,DG,Boards) and all this is because of the stupid UCH.

We lost ALOT of cool obstacles that should've lasted a few more tournaments (RC,DG,Boards) and all this is because of the stupid UCH. Yes, I completely agree with that because although the arm bike might have made the UCH slightly easier, I felt bad for Paul because he didn't really get to exact his revenge on the doorknobs. That and it's disappointing that the incarnation of the Third Stage with the RC+DG combo will never be beaten, unless they bring it back. I also thought that those two obstacles were so much cooler to watch and they brought a really daunting feeling to the Third Stage, that really stepped it up a notch. IMO seeing the Arm Bike return in place of the Roulette Cylinder + Doorknob Grasper was the only major gripe I had with the stage. I like the Arm Bike, but it's really become old hat, and I had this sickening feeling that they just couldn't think of something better to put there. Before, it seemed like every obstacle was a true threat and in the last two tournaments they proved to be just that by taking out Orosco (twice) and Kasemir. They also put a serious toll on the competitors that survived it, which sent a message that the designers really intended to up the ante. I DO however, appreciate the treatment that has been done to the Flying Bar. I think that once we see someone fail it, we will always be on the edge of our seats wondering if they will make that precise jump or not. Besides that we've always wanted to see the obstacle, so at least for this tournament while it's new, I like it more than the Cycling Road, although that too was a cool looking obstacle (though not nearly as hard as FB). Hopefully they will bring back the RC+DG, otherwise they will simply remain as relics of an undefeated Third Stage and we will never truly know if anyone was capable of beating that version, which I think makes it a lot more unsatisfying.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they don't come back in some form. So far everything we've been thinking would happen (that they would leave alone) hasn't happened.. seems they are taking things out and bringing stuff back just to break the monotony and break the thought-pattern of a lot of people that all they ahve to do is train "Sasuke #whatever" and they got it. Reminds me of Bunpei when he saw the 2nd stage one year and said the announcer "I was training the balance tank this whole time.. but.. it's no longer here". It's done really to mess with people's minds I would think they will return. So far just about everything else has

Metal Spin - They must have made a few changes with this obstacle, because it seems much harder this time around Sorry if it's already been touched on, but I agree with this. 27's Metal Spin seems to have been moved slightly higher up and a bit farther away from the jumping platform. Granted it's usually kinda tough to tell this from mere memory, but IMO there really appears to be a drastic difference from 26's Metal Spin.

I like that idea, but they should do it to bad/old obstacles... like the entire second stage...

The Roulette Cylinder was a very tough obstacle and even more so in SASUKE 26, and anyways, I doubt it has a chance at coming back, it took a while for people to clear it and it was perhaps the most grueling first Stage 3 obstacle in SASUKE history, it was only HALF of the Rumbling Dice's length and yet it took people about the same amount of time to clear it as the RD and unlike the RD, it got even harder, it may have been short in length, but it's a monster that was taken out for the same reasons as the RD, to make Stage 3 easier, it doesn't take a genius to realize that the RD was harder than the Arm Rings.
As for the Doorknob Grasper, it might come back, while it was a difficult second obstacle in it's own right, it was even harder since it was immediately after the RC, take away the Roulette Cylinder and the Doorknob Grasper's difficulty is halved (Unless you've got a harder first obstacle). Of course, if it DOES return, it might get modifed.
For the rest of Stage 3, please burn the ladders, make the Chainsaw neater, it's a mess, though it has PLENTY of potential, and put the two deleted rings back in.
Stage 2 needs a HUGE renovation, I agree with you JP.
I ask you all to take this into account (Braces for the harsh critisicm).

I was smart and did Pipe Slider jumps anyways just in case it ever came back I'd be ready, and look what happened, it's back sort of

Uh... can someone please explain to me why the Chain Saw is such a "mess"? I'm really confused. All I've seen of it was on Alison's Third Stage preview thing and it didn't seem like a mess to me. Everyone seems to be reiterating that so could I please get someone to point out why it's such a disarray of an obstacle?

Because they have ladders in between each set of chains that you can rest on.
