Any updates on Kane possibly going? From the news thread: According to Inui Masato, Kane Kosugi has also been invited, but has declined (again).

Any updates on Kane possibly going? From the news thread: According to Inui Masato, Kane Kosugi has also been invited, but has declined (again). And I got that from the front page of this thread... I'm super stoked about Bunpei. I hope that means all 6 are returning. To be clear though (and I got this from Inui directly) every All-star was invited in the past 3 tournaments (Rising) and even Kane Kosugi has been invited but he's declined. They re-invited him again mentioning it's the 30th tournament and are actively working to get him. Whether he comes or not we won't know for a while, however he did confirm that he has always been formally invited. I didn't know that for sure before I asked him.

Upon asking him, Inui confirmed that there is at least one new obstacle. I have no clues on further details, but we should be expecting some changes from 29.

This is all a slow burn by Inui. Or might be my hesitance to believe the inevitable and expected. I'm still holding out hope.

I'm taking a gander to say that there is a new obstacle 3rd in the Third Stage, as it doesn't make sense that they'd randomly put the Curtain Cling there. Also, Philip pointed out that the first obstacle's run-up is the same, so it's probably the Long Jump again.

Inui tweetFor those wondering wtf this is - that's the camera rigging. I think this is new for this tournament. Photos found on twitter: (for much larger photo - click here and click on the actual image to see original size)

Inui says that it's お馴染み (onajimi) which means familiar or regular so either it's something he always uses or something they (SASUKE) always uses.

I asked Inui and he corrected me saying that he has been using it since taking over Sasuke Rising. (edited out the photo since Ube already posted it) Inui tweetI love the flags

Looks To me the Iron Paddler is the first obstacle in stage 3 now I can see its track in the picture. Either that or its something new replacing the rumbling dice.

Although I love how awesome that Stage 3 nighttime photo is, I find it a bit ironic that all of the red, white, and blue colors seen from that angle remind me of a particular foreign spinoff.

Okay it's not just me. I thought when I saw the photo it was TBS International posting an ANW photo. Ahahahahahahaha They've been promoting ANW's premiere next week for a while now. Speaking of which.. I have to start the threads for that. LOL More from Inui

In that 3rd stage picture, it's pretty clear that the Iron Paddler is still 2nd (unless there are two obstacles to the right out of frame). It looks like the Rumbling Dice's framework is there as well. Also, it's looking like the Iron Paddler is right before the Cliffhanger again...
...Is it possible that there's only 5 obstacles in the 3rd this time?

There's definitely some space between the IP and the CCH though

You can see another rest platform between the Iron Paddler and the CCH, there will definitely be an obstacle between them.
Edit: Upon closer inspection, I'd wager dollars to donuts that it's the Body Prop.

I love how photogenic the final tower is. It doesn't matter the angle, it always looks menacing.

TBS International SalesFor the record. Sasuke 30 has started. It's almost 9:30 am on Saturday, May 17! First person usually runs around 10 am. Inui tweet - Bunpei and Kong
