This a very basic question. From 18-24, 26, 27 there was a very specific style to sasuke. The 120second, long complicated course, the red carpets ect... in 25 however, we saw a revival of the old set up. Fast paced, simplictic, green carpetted stage 1. Do you think that for 26 and 27 it was a mistake to go back to 18-24 version?

Well 26 was sort of a slow stage but aside from the Escargot and HPA 27 was a fast paced course. And I dunno, I kind of liked Shin Sasuke so I don't mind its "return"

I personally liked the black carpeted competitions the most, seeing as how they were designed slightly more serious than the green carpeted competitions, but not quite at the difficulty of the red carpeted shin era. Not to say I don't miss the green carpet era, but if they did go back to something not red carpeted shin-era style, i'd like to see a revival of the black carpet style of stage design.

Yeah, this definitely, I loved that era, obstacles and appearance, it was more serious but it was still a line race to the end of the stage

I've never really liked the shin Sasuke first stage. I loved 25. My answer should be obvious.

I don't like the fast paced first stage, to be honest, but I also don't like the long first stage as well. I my opinion, there has to be some middle ground, to be quick first stage, but not that quick that a competitor just comes and goes.

Maybe have a Sasuke 17-styled course but with the red carpeting favorites, like the Jumping Spider and the RE. Also, the step-related obstacles need to go. They have gotten really boring. Make an even faster 1st obstacle involving a pipe or something.

No, Sasuke 25 brought pack Pre-Shin Sasuke obstacles.

I loved the black tournaments. There was some kind of intensity with 14-17 that seemed painful, especially thanks to the devil's swing and ridiculously hard pipe slider. I liked the feel of 18 and 25 because we knew nobody was going to win, and it was sort of like, let's see how much everyone can handle the new course!
I think we need something like the goren hammer back in the second stage, to give it less of a "timed Third Stage" feeling. Also, so help me, if they don't bring back two of the most gruesome stage 3 obstacles I'm gonna be mad >=(

Yes, because the green mats looked great and the first stage had the Jump Hang. The first stage looked very tiring and it was also fun to watch.

I loved the obstacles of this era but hated the format. I loved 25's stage 1. Too bad it lost to ratings....
