The HPA was easier... way easier. The people who failed it assumed it was the same as Japan and you can run up the wall. If you actually looked at the obstacle and saw you can run across the bottom with no problem.... there wouldn't have been as many fails. I second this...I was just waiting for someone to walk across the bottom. Also, this is probably gonna sound really lame, but they had those angled bars at the top of stage one to help you get up easier. So I don't think people like Nathaniel Spencer would've cleared if they didn't have those. |

Yeah.In Japan you have to pull yourself up with nothing to really hold onto.Its mainly your feet helping you. |

Also their Roulette Cylinder looked more like a Roulette Octagon, because it looked like it got stuck on the corners of the drops (which I personally think they were aiming for to make the drops less shocking).

The rules they told us were that we couldn't walk along the bottom of the HPA, then someone ran across much later and didn't get disqualified so people realized they could do it.
I'm not going to debate every obstacle though. You're welcome to your opinion as a viewer, I'm just telling you from first and second hand experience.

Fair enough but I don't think you can confirm there would be more than 10 more clears if TBS came and built the course. |

Also if TBS made the course there is a chance that TBS would get to choose what obstacles there are.

Well sending specs doesn't exactly mean TBS picked the obstacle lineup exactly, while it's still possible it could have been G4 pretty much saying "Hey, we want the specs to these obstacles *obstacle list*" or could have TBS sent a bunch of obstacle specs and G4 just picked which obstacles they wanted out of those
