I don't consider it was a bad obstacle. Just a tough one many were not use to. Overall, I actually didn't mind it because it was difficult. In 28, it seemed way too easy and it was just there. At least in this one, it did some damage. Incredible amounts of damage.

They made the Backstream much harder this time, which resulted in less clears.

It was really amazing how much of an equalizer this obstacle really became. To take out almost all for those that made it.....YEESH!
Seems like to try and get a good bearing on where is the best spot to swim is really going to vary from person to person for this one now.

Eh. The Backstream did its job pretty well. I just hated the time limit.

I don't mind that the backstream was a lot harder this time. What I think killed everybody was the time limit. It was way too strict we went from 135 sec. in 28 to 90 sec. in 29.

There's nothing wrong with the backstream. Being a swimmer I like the obstacle. It's challenging. All they should do is add 5-10 seconds to the time limit.

My 2 HUGE issues with the 2nd Stage:
1) The drastic time limit reduction. There has never been such a change in the time limit in any stage in any Sasuke. A 15, 20 or even 30 second reduction would have been fair, but 45 seconds was way overkill. IMO, you shouldn't combine a tough course with a brutal time limit. There was an INCREDIBLE amount of potential based on everyone who made it to the Backstream and Wall Lift, but it was all wasted. I can understand getting to 90 seconds EVENTUALLY. The Sasuke 7-17 2nd stage time limit was reduced from 100 seconds at the highest to 65 seconds at the lowest, but that was over the course of many tournaments. The overcompensation for the high time limit in 28 was a huge mistake on Inui's part.
2) The Backstream has no place in Sasuke. I have a big issue with the whole water thing, not just because of the classic "Don't Touch the Water" rule, but because it doesn't fit as a Sasuke obstacle. The rest of the obstacles (with the possible exception of the new Wall Lift) are excellent. I'm dying to see a return of the Reverse Conveyor Belt, ORIGINAL Balance Tank, or Hammer Dodge in the Backstream's place. A 90 second time limit would definitely work with one of those obstacles.

First we complain the 2nd Stage was way too easy, now we complain it's too hard lol. You guys are just upset that notable people weren't prepared for the current in the Backstream.
