Really? Because I only see one ladder before the obstacle and honestly I can't see how someone could rest on it. It's like what people said about the spider flip... it gives you the chance to pause, but it's not really giving your arms a break because you're not being fully supported. If someone sat on that ladder I'd think it would be painful.
And after the Chain Saw all I see is the Bungee Rope Climb. People need to calm down about this.

Because they have ladders in between each set of chains that you can rest on. No....there's the ladder after the Jumping Ring to get to the Chain Saw. Then there's the Chain Saw (which I'm not sure some people here even realize how it looks; there's only two of them). Then the other ladder to get to the (Bungee) Rope Climb. If that's messy, some of you people are picky. Not every obstacle needs to be an entire section long.

I'm surprised no one commented on my last post.
Anywho, we're getting quite a few of recycled obstacles as of right now.

I'm surprised no one commented on my last post. OK. I'd rather see the UCH get a massive nerf, then the rest of the stage to compensate

I'd rather them just take out the first two bars. the "soapdish" jump is hard enough as it is.
And by soapdish, I mean the small ledge.

Remove the first two ledges, nearly everyone clears from here on out. People wanted a difficult stage, you got one.

I think people are just forgetting that we've only watched the AMERICANS. Has ANW brainwashed you all into thinking that the Americans honestly had the upper hand in this tournament? We only got to see 4 attempt the 3rd Stage, all of which failed the UCH. Word on the street is, some people who think this stage/UCH is too difficult might be in for a rude awakening, because apparently there are 90 other competitors in SASUKE 27!! AKA people who are smaller and weigh less like Nagano, Yuuji, Koji, Lee, Okuyama, Kong, Tajima, Shingo, Takeda, Kanno, Sato Jun, etc. etc. etc. even Yamada who weighs less COULD have a chance! What people are doing at the moment is judging the difficulty of the course by watching 10 competitors, who are all considerably taller and heavier than the japanese contenders. This means that they can make obstacles like the Jumping Spider and Cannonball Run look easier than they might be for the rest of the field, and/or make the UCH and Third Stage look harder than it might really be for someone who is 53kg as opposed to 83kg. Everyone needs to take a chill pill bout the current course. After we know the results of this tournament, and only THEN, can we decide what obstacles were easy, hard, messy, clever, boring, etc.

As of now, we know of 11 results of the Post 3K 3rd stage. Of them, 8 have failed the UCH. That's around 75% I'd rather have an easier CH if the rest of the stage was as fearsome
Edited due to too much hinting. Sorry

Dudesky has a point. Also, did any of you see the DSL bar? It didn't have any weight caps .

Also, I didn't say no Japanese competitor failed or cleared it. Maybe the Americans were just strong and made the course look easy. It's only 1/10th of the actual competitors. What you're trying to say is we're judging the course too early?

I've always said the UCH was too hard, and it kills the rest of the 3rd stage. I said this when they got rid of the boards, and I'm saying it again now.

Only thing is that say they brought back 9-17 Cliff Hanger for 25, (Or something of equal difficulty) there would be a lot of people screaming the stage is too easy. Cliff Hanger has always been a pivotal obstacle ever since Sasuke began, and it has always been one of the hardest. Wouldn't make a ton of since for that to be one of the easier obstacles of Stage 3. I personally like the UCH and I think it fits just fine. I already stated I could live with Stage 3 if the ladders weren't there, but I wouldn't say the UCH itself ruins everything, we've just had a lot of top notch competitors such as Yuuji absent from the 3rd Stage since 25.

It's too easy because the cliff hanger is there. If we had a balanced 3rd stage, it wouldn't be a problem.
The 9-17 cliffhanger was fine because it was only slightly harder than every other obstacle. The UCH DWARFS every obstacle in difficulty. Some of these 3rd stage obstacles are a joke... Cycling Road? Cool idea, but it's so easy that it's not even worth having there. Everyone loved it though cause it meant people would complete the UCH. Now people are mad that they are making the rest of Stage 3 easier. This is what you wanted people...

This is what you wanted people... Maybe some other people on here. Not for me personally. I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of people when I say we were content with Stage 3 in 25 and 26 as a whole. That doesn't mean people didn't say certain things needed to change in order to see a clear. Sadly Sasuke's ratings have got in the way of everyone's true idea of what they want, therefore sometimes people say such and such needs to happen in order to satisfy that quota.

I think the main problem with the rest of the stage is not the difficulty, it's the order and layout of the obstacles. It HAS to be easier, but they could make it a lot better. I do think this Cliffhanger was a mistake just because nothing hard can come before or after it. If they had scaled it down and made it just a bit harder than the Shin Cliffhanger, we'd be able to see the RC, DG, Floating Boards, AND some very creative obstacles after the CH. About the 2 ladders, if someone needed a rest, they could hook an arm through a rung and put weight on their armpit.

One ladder is suspended by chains and the other is plain wood. No one's gonna rest on them too long. Blame the fact the SCH was easier than expected. They made a Cliffhanger that wasn't a push over.
The rest of Stage 3 isn't exactly easy:
You have to jump a decent distance just to get on the Jumping Ring, then get enough momentum to jump to a ring on the same level. In addition, you need to retain that momentum to get to the first ladder.
Then you have to jump from that first ladder (and since it's suspended by thin chains, likely fairly unstable) and grip both chains on the first section of the Chain Saw, then repeat, or risk the chains falling on one side.
Then if you're lucky enough to get to the second one, you have to jump to a ladder with wooden rungs. Last I checked, wood isn't exactly the most forgiving obstacle, and who knows how stable it is either. Then the Rope Climb, which is just going to suck because you did so much before you even got there.
Keep in mind the Bar Glider is a Pipe Slider that's more difficult, and actually has a gimmick to it aside from no stopper at the end. I thought the Pipe Slider was the most loved obstacle here.
So what the Arm Bike is there? So what the Flying Bar doesn't seem as deadly YET. Forbid the producers make the first half a bit easier so the majority won't fail before the small ledge transfer (not a slight on anyone who has, but you give them another chance after good training and I doubt they'll fail there again). And can you write off the other half when we haven't even seen testers on them!
