Were there any obstacles you liked a lot, disliked a lot or were completely neutral with?
I really liked:
-Chain See Saw- great obstacle. Quite tough;
-Spinning Bridge- it wasn't insanely hard, yet two top competitors
failed it. Nice 7th obstacle;
I somewhat disliked:
Halfpipe Attack (I loved 19 and 20's version, assuming they're the same.)
I neither liked nor disliked:
-Rolling Escargot
-Swing Circle;
-Ascending Ropes (maybe replace it with the Curtain Swing?)

I really liked the new Giant Swing, to be honest. Just put the landing hill a few more feet away and it would be really awesome.
I didn't care for the Bungee Rope Climb at all. It could have been an obstacle in the 1st Stage.

My top three for each:
Liked:
3. Arm Bike: Look, I just happen to like it, okay? (See text underneath my name...)
2. New Halfpipe Attack: Always liked this obstacle, and it was nice to see them finally do something with it.
1. Bar Glider: Nice to see the Pipe Slider (or at least something pretty close to it) back again.
Disliked:
3. Giant Swing: This obstacle had the exact opposite effect that the arm bike had on me. There was just something about this obstacle I didn't like.
2. Jumping Spider (I think it was modified): What happened? Why did so few people fail it?
1. Jumping Ring: Why redesign an obstacle that has never been attempted? Let alone when all you're doing to it is making it shorter, and not changing the function in any way whatsoever!
Neutral. (How can something be more neutral to me?):
3. Chain See-Saw: There was potential here, but I personally felt it could have been better.
2. Rolling Escargot: Personally, I prefered it the old way...
1. Spin Bridge: I can't understand this. Only three people failed it, and two of them were strong competitors. Yet the other 27 cleared it? And the icing on the cake, it's currently unknown who the third failure was. Just... bizarre...

Liked:
1. Chain See-Saw: Seriously this thing is friggin awesome, though it needs tweaking like removal of the ladders.
2. Giant Swing: It's good as an early obstacle. It's not very tough but I don't think it needs to be. Looks hella fun too.
Disliked:
1. Bar/Pipe Glider: I HATE this thing. The Pipe slider is my favorite obstacle of all time and they butchered it. The added stops at the end really killed this. Oh and please don't say "Oh but yuuji and ryo would've passed it anyway since they trained so much". Cool, I am not disagreeing with that, but I would've rather seen them pass the old version instead of this crappy new one. The added incline was cake and really this just became an easier and uglier version of an awesome obstacle
2. Arm bike: I get it, they wanted an easier stage 3 and they wanted a UCH pass. I don't care, this thing sucks by itself. They could've at-least spruced it up a bit or made it into a combo obstacle.
3. Bungee Ropes: Oh my god this obstacle is lame. I hate ropes in stage 3 to begin with, I don't think they belong *cough* rope junction *cough*. However this is even WORSE. I get that it's at the end and it's not supposed to be hard, but it's not creative at all. 3 dangling ropes. WOW SO COOL

Liked: Jump Hang, that vertical trampoline thing (you know, the one where Takeda bounced off the trampoline right onto his butt)
Disliked: Giant Slide

I honestly think that Yuuji would have failed the third stage if the Pipe Slider was there. He came so close to bringing the pipe out of the stopper, so I doubt he would beaten the harder Pipe Slider. I'm not sure about Ryo, to be honest. I think he would have failed like Bunpei in 16 or passed like Akiyama in 4. |

How dare you? That obstacle was fantastic. It just happened to be easy, overused, in the wrong place, and had a bad failure rate in it's earlier appearances (like, nobody at all).  |

No-one has had trouble with it
Even when it was new
Even when it was part of a combo
You easily complete it blindfolded, and no-one would be impressed

I wasn't being serious, it was a joke. It IS too easy and the course designers never seem to get the Arm Bike right at all.
Although nevertheless, I am still huge fan of the Arm Bike. If they just placed it later on in the course...
Ah forget it. Even then it would take out nobody. It would just become another Bungee Rope Climb.

I liked these obstacles: Flying Bar(I liked because more people were able to attempt it.)
Chain See-Saw ( It is a very tough obstacle because you have to be able to keep a equal amount of weight on each side.
I disliked these obstacles:
Rolling Escargot( It was made much easier.)
Giant Swing(Again made much easier.)
Halfpipe Attack( Seemed to be dangerous with the changed landing platform)
Arm Bike ( Seems to easy)
