Pretty self-explanatory question. I chose Rope Ladder for myself.

In full honesty, this is the first time in a while that I feel I could go deep into the course. (Well, the First Stage that is. No way in hell I'm getting up the Warped Wall!)

DEFINITELY Stage 1 (Only 14!)
Long Jump - Probably not, after seeing Nagano's injury, even though I'm 5'11". 60% Chance Log Grip - Depends on how wide the ledges were. If it's pretty wide, I may have cleared. 50% Chance Hedgehog - I have good coordination, so there's no way I see myself failing, even with Takeda. 80% Chance Jump Hang Kai - Grip is definitely not my strength area! 40% Chance Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe - 45% Final Obstacles - If I have 20 or more secs left I'll DEFINITELY PASS

I think I would go down on the Swap Salmon Ladder. Even though I am still a teenager. Just because I train by rope climbing, rock climbing , and running. I don't train for a specific obstacle.

The majority of people on here that think they'd clear the Long Jump would fail it. I said Long Jump.

I would fail the long jump most likely. Yes seriously.

Honestly I feel like 29 would be a great chance for me to break through... Stage 1: Long Jump: 14ish foot jump, no problem Log Grip: It's easier than the original and I have good grip, both my hands and holding on with my legs (as demonstrated by my making fun of ANW3's if you remember that demotivator ), easy enough Hedgehog: I have good balance, coordination and speed, even Takeda's fail doesn't make me worry about this simple obstacle Jump Hang Kai: Good at jumping and good grip, I've done something similar you could say (just different to the net and climbing down and forward instead of sideways) and I breezed through that Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe: No problem getting up both Tarzan Rope + Rope Ladder: I should be good on time at this point and would jump up the rope like David or Yuuji anyways, cue Yagyu-Gaiden Stage 2: Cross Slider: I'm good at spider walking even with just arms, I got this Swap Salmon Ladder: Jumping bars are a specialty of mine, if not for the constant turning around I'd blaze through the short upwards jumps Unstable Bridge: No one is ever failing this version, I got this... Spider Walk: Spider Walking is something I accel at, expect Nagano SW speed here Backstream: Unless I'm seriously rushing I should have enough breath to hold it where it counts and go under the jets until I can get to the ladder, plus I'm not a bad swimmer Passing Wall: My job involes plenty of heavy lifting, not a stretch I'd be able to lift these walls, with time I should be set after the first 4 obs (I'll just go under the jets so I won't Yuuji it), clear Stage 3: Rumbling Dice: I should be fine on this one, I derped near the end of a harder version of this, and I'd be taking on an easier one knowing the most efficient way, clear Iron Paddler: I may not kong through, but I can clear this, even if I have more trouble than expected I can pull ASEAN Cup rules and just rest, but I should be fine Crazy Cliffhanger: I was doing this before the CCH was a thing, I was doing this before Sheep put the SCHE in Sim Sasuke, the pioneer of this obstacle isn't going down on it Curtain Cling: I have good grip and can let momentum aid me in speeding through, clear Vertical Limit: hardest thing in s3 IMO, but I practice on thin cliffhangers and have good grip so I'll survive it Pipe Slider: I've practiced the technique even after it left, While possible I'm confident I won't fail here Final Stage: Spider Climb: I can speed up this Rope Climb: not that I'm bad at it but I don't know the time limit so I don't think I'd win the first time on the final

Threads like these can be fun, but I don't really see the point of them... Sasuke is like a roulette wheel, scary and unpredictable. So like, why bother asking?
If you claim to be good enough to make it to Stage 3, you will be getting feedback along the lines of "Oh, and you're so special?" or "Let's see some videos of you training!"

First Stage
Long Jump - It depends on how fast i go. 50/50 chance
Log Grip - Easy Clear.
Hedgehog - Same as Above.
Jump Hang Kai - unless i pull an akiyama or shingo, it's not happening.
Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe - i won't have any problems pulling myself up on both walls.
Tarzan Rope + Rope Ladder - Anyone can clear this provided they have enough time left on the clock.
Second Stage
Cross Slider - I should be able to clear this without any trouble.
Swap Salmon Ladder - I'd say i have a 40/60 chance on this.
Unstable Bridge - No one is failing this.
Spider Walk - Easier than the last version, i have a better chance of clearing this one.
Backstream - Not a chance, i'd probably shingo it, since i'm not a good swimmer.
Passing Wall - Sometimes i lift, but most of the time i'd fail this obstacle.
3rd Stage
Rumbling Dice - Provided I don't mess up the dismount, i should be fine.
Iron Paddler - I would pull a yuuji, and still clear.
Crazy Cliffhanger - Are you kidding me? No chance at all.
Curtain Cling - Same as the CCH.
Vertical Limit - It needs no explanation.
Pipe Slider - I've practiced the jump on this, but i'd probably still fail it.
Final Stage
Spider Climb - Easy clear here.
Rope Climb - Same as the CCH.
MOST LIKELY RESULT - The Backstream.

In my defense I do have training vids and was impressing everyone in my ANW testing in baltimore (even beating many competitors in performance on obstacles)

Yay this thread!
I think I would probably fail the 2nd WW, even though I'm 6'1". I have horrible technique on it and nothing seems to help. If somehow I make it up, I'd probably clear with like 5 seconds left. In the 2nd stage no way could I clear. I can swim really fast but I would probably take too much time on the Spider Walk, so I'd probably time out at the first wall like Lee did.

I suck at the salmon ladder for no reason so I'd probably fail there. I'm a marathoner so endurance and intense cardio are really no problem for me, I've got a decent set of wheels so I know I can long jump, I can definitely hold onto that easy log grip, I am really unfamiliar with that type of trampoline so I'm unsure about the jump hang kai, although I guess I could make it. I can definitely do the warped walls, I've done the taller ANW-style one at the Movement Laboratory which starts out at a ridiculous angle. I could, however, see myself bottling on the hedgehog just because I would be nervous. If I didn't choke on that, well...
Cross Slider is nothing to worry about for pretty much anyone, so I can't really see myself going out there. I honestly suck at the salmon ladder, of any variety, so the SSL would be a mighty task for me. Unstable Bridge is one of my favorite obstacles I've ever actually practiced a replica of, so I've had plenty of experience on that, and the Spider Walk isn't as much of a worry for failing as it is for losing time. I wear payless sneakers so I'd actually probably slip off the damn thing in less than a second. Payless better sponsor me or something. As for the backstream, I am a belly-nose breather and can hold my breath for quite long. That being said, I have no idea how fatigued I would be at that point... in fact, my heart would probably be racing and begging for oxygen, so I'd have to give myself very slim chances of getting by with enough time remaining. Wall lifts don't worry me considering we have competitors sliding beneath them.
I don't think I would even make it to stage three (just being brutally honest with myself here) but it's fun to speculate anyway. Rumbling Dice is a lot more difficult than it seems, I'm sure. I do think I am capable of clearing it however. The Iron Paddler seems kind of wild-card-y. If you start with momentum, it seems like it's easy to keep racing through it. If I didn't however, it would probably wear me down, but I wouldn't fail here-- I regularly do dips with 50+% bodyweight for reps, so just bodyweight for a little while doesn't seem like the end of the world. Beginning with the crazy cliffhanger, I think we all need to be pretty realistic, you need to be incredibly strong and lucky. I fail here, definitely. No chance. I think I would have a better chance against the curtain cling and the vertical limit, but the crazy cliffhanger is crazy for a reason. I'd have to be downright crazy to like my chances there. The pipe slider is the kind of thing I won't even bother speculating because it seems like you never know what kind of challenge you'll face with it, depending on how you carry yourself as an individual. All I know is that the final gap looks difficult and it robbed a very promising competitor, who had taken his sweet time to rest, of the final.
And finally for the final... nope, lol. Can't even dream of that. Maybe in a few years. But for now I'm a runner. It'll actually be a little less than two years before I can compete in ANW, which is a pretty cool thought. I guess I won't be able to compete in time for next season but for the one after, I'm 99.9999% sure with my backstory, I'd be a shoe in to be selected. Woo hop

Probably stage 1. Not because I can't do it. But because I'd probably make a stupid mistake

Long Jump: I did long jump in highschool... easy
Log Grip: I've done it before (anw). Easy.
Hedgehog: Don't think this should be a problem.
Jump Hang Kai: May or may not have done it on anw. But I can beat it.
Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe: I've done a replica before. I can do it
Tarzan Rope + Rope Ladder: If really good at net climbs.
Stage 2: I would go down on the swap salmon ladder most likely. Best case scenario I get to the backstream.

Stage 1: 75% chance from the the Long Jump. After that, the Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe could slow me down a good bit.
Stage 2: 50% chance from the Swap Salmon Ladder. After that, it'll be the Backstream that'll do me in until I can get better at learning to swim underwater.
Stage 3: 20% chance from the Iron Paddler since it's not so easy at all to get the right momentum. After that, the Crazy Cliff Hanger....that'll do me in almost guaranteed.

In my defense I do have training vids and was impressing everyone in my ANW testing in baltimore (even beating many competitors in performance on obstacles) *sigh* Rider, that's great and all, but real athletes don't have to brag about how good they are. It makes you look like an insecure douche bag. I don't think I've seen anyone call someone out just to share how much they "wowed everyone" with their abilities. Or were you just trolling? Point being, I don't see the point of these threads, so I guess I shouldn't bother reading them anymore.

So what your saying is that your better than the stage 3 that took out world class competitors like yuuji kanno yosuke and kongu . Ok that's fine . But then why don't I see you take a try at sasuke in japan . Maybe your speaking the truth .

I haven't swam in a long time, and if the back stream took out Shingo and Okuyama, who I view as stronger competitors than me, in tragic fashion, I don't see myself getting through it. If I got through it I feel I could get to the CCH and drop on the jump. The beginning part isn't hard, but the jump requires loads of practice. If I miracle passed that, I'm pretty sure my grip would give out on the 1cm vertical limit without question.

Thats how i would do if I was lucky, surprise and unpredictability are huge elements of Sasuke. You never know where you are going to fail.
