Why? Is there some story about Takeda and the Butterfly Wall I never heard? I think she meant the Reverse Fly, when Takeda landed square on his back. Oh damn I meant that.. LOL Oh hell I saw fly and wall and thought of Takeda doing that.. As for David he will most likely post to say he can't say much at all.. he's probably a) Dead tired and sleeping b) friggin' partying c) both

I don't know how much the Japanese believe in Non-Disclosure Agreements, but there could be that, too. Why? Is there some story about Takeda and the Butterfly Wall I never heard? I think she meant the Reverse Fly, when Takeda landed square on his back. Unsurprisingly, Takeda falling on his rump is not exclusive to this one incident. I think I have him falling off the Chain Reaction and/or Brick Climb at one point as well. That's what you get for going so damn fast

He probably had to sign something saying that he wouldn't reveal any info. It wouldn't be good for ratings.

For who's ratings? Last time I checked both Sasuke 20 AND Sasuke 21 had a crapload of people watching and saw it live on TBS that day and STILL watched Ninja Fest. I hate their argument. If they were truly pissed they'd contact the creators of Lost to stop showing the damn spoilers because it will mess up their show. Last time I checked.. they do not produce Sasuke.

I'm talking about TBS probably making all the constestents and watchers saying that they can't reveal any spoilers. Didn't Sasuke 21 not get very good ratings? You're right, G4 doesn't own Sasuke.
And LOST and ABC said the show won't be canceled even if rating suck. (I really like watching Lost)

I'm talking about TBS probably making all the constestents and watchers saying that they can't reveal any spoilers. Oh yes there is a massive gag order for the next 2 weeks on EVERYONE. Once it's on TBS they can write whatever they want on their blogs. The most they can do now is show pictures of themselves but nothing that can be misconstrued as a spoiler.

Wait a minute...Has anybody noticed that the warped wall has been turned 90 degrees? I guess this is so people can't use the transition portion of the course as a long running start.

Yes and the Halfpipe Attack leads directly into the Warped Wall, with only a small plank connecting the two obstacles. So, no massive run-ups this time.

I've been wondering when they were going to move it back forward anyways. Out of the 15 Pre 22 tournaments the Warped Wall was in, only 3 of those times was it not forward, 19, 20 and 21. And in 18 the Great Wall went forwards. So are there any pics of the Halfpipe Attack and Warped Wall? Does anyone know if they just make it so the landing of the Halfpipe go straight into the wall? Are they making it so you have to walk to it and climb up on the top kind of like 18 (which Nagasaki said "Screw it! I'm jumping the gap!" to)
EDIT: BTW, does anyone think they might have made the Jumping Spider easier by putting it in a straight line from the Log Grip so people can transfer the momentum from the Log straight into their runup?

I know of one that I'm not allowed to post here because I don't have permission. However, what it is, is that it is the Halfpipe Attack landing platform, then that small plank and then instead of the other platform where it would be solid ground, that's gone and instead the Warped Wall is RIGHT there. So no massive run-ups.

Could you PM me the picture so I can see it? (as hard as it is I won't post it anywhere).
Are there any more pictures of the course?

i just thought of something, 5 of the original 8 obstacles from the "unbeatable" Sasuke Stage 1 are gone, and so scnoi when they drop from they rope from the Halfpipe Attack they land directly on the warped wall, is that what your saying?

I think what he's saying is know how theres a tiny landing pad and the board that goes across, around the water and has a sideways portion that leads onto the Warped Wall, that board goes straight to the Warped Wall now.

I think we should leave him alone and if he wants to divulge anything, he can do so.

i know one thing, telling us whats new wont make the ratings drop b/c all of us are gonna watch Sasuke 22 anyway, telling us the obstacles is just gonna get us more pumped to see how the obstacles work and how competitors fair on them. I don't know how that fairs for the people of Japan maybe if they knew the obstacle list they'd be pumped and it would make ratings go up, but idk, MOST of the people in this forum are very trustworthy, so i don't think telling us is a big deal but still, the odds of us getting any info out of him are very slim to none, and btw, does David even know about this forum?
