Hmmm... Let's see.
The Good:
Yusuke becoming our 4th person (5th of total) to Achieve Kanzenseiha.
WREATH MAN
Kanno finally beaten the CCH. So Proud.
New Comers have beaten Stage 1! Nice Sasuke debut's for #40, #49, #79, #84, & #86 (Already mention the 2nd good thing)
The Bad:
Once again, The CCH has beaten up everyone.
Ryo, Yuuji, & Nagano's devastating Stage 1 runs.
The Ugly:
Shingo & Takeda's Stage 1 runs. WDF?
Wait, Where's Nagasaki & Someya? Does Inui hates them again? Geez.

The Good:
Morimoto achieving the 4th (well 5th technically, but you know what I mean) Kanzenseiha.
The new screen displaying competitors at Stage 1's start line (saves me the trouble of figuring out their names)
The Sidewinder
The fact that the Swap Salmon Ladder is gone and we get a kick a** Salmon Ladder
Wreath Man, he really came out of nowhere.
The editing was a big improvement over the last two tourneys.
The Bad:
Tomo wasn't the Kanzenseiha in this tourney. (Nothing against Morimoto, but I just hate losing bets)
Asa getting mangled for the 4th time in a row by the CCH.
Shinya having to drop out.
The fact that Yamada was there (Even if he wasn't competing, seeing his usual pout at clears and grin at fails gave bad vibes).
Kanno period. Honestly, I despise him. I've despised how cocky he's been these recent tourneys. I know many will disagree with me, but I can't stand how flashy he's been recently. Honestly, I'm fine with him getting digested if he's gonna act all flashy.
The Backstream.
The Ugly:
The Tackle. I hated it, it made me want to skip the damn obstacle on broadcast all together.
Shingo, Takeda, Yuuji, Ryo and Nagano's failures.
The fact that Nagasaki got cut AGAIN.
The fact that Kongu got cut in Stage 1 AGAIN.

I think that morimotos kanzenseiha and cch kanno clear are the spotlight events in my opinion |

GOOD:
A rookie (AKA Wreath Man) reaching the 3rd Stage.
New Salmon Ladder.
Barrel Climb and Rapid Descent finally get married (Roller Hill) and return to SASUKE after 24 tourneys away.
Crazy Cliffhanger showing what it's really made of (again!).
Kenji Darvish clearing Stage 1, he deserves it.
Torisawa being the wally he is!!!
Alexander Mars beating Stage 1.
Editing was very good, well done Inui!
A balanced amount of clears in Stage 1 and 2.
Kanno actually cleared the CCH!!!
and I almost forgot...
MORIMOTO YUSUKE KANZENSEIHA!!!
BAD:
Asa failing CCH, that's 4 on the trot!
Only 5 obstacles in Stage 2.
Shinya dropping out.
No Hashimoto, Bunpei, Akiyama, or Lee.
UGLY:
Drew Drechsel getting screwed on the CCH. He had a real chance of winning.
Shingo and Takeda failing the Roller Hill.
Ryo, Nagano and Yuuji failing the Warped Wall (because of the Tackle).
Nagasaki and Kongu get cut, again...
Overall a great show! But it could've been a tiny bit better. 8.9/10

GOOD:
Morimoto being the 4th man to achieve Kanzenseiha
I loved the Rolling Hill the whole time, I knew someone big had to go out on it I just predicted someone else
The new Salmon Ladder was great
There was a very good editing flow, with only like one bad thing when they cut 83-90 even though I think two of them cleared
Wreath man just coming by and wrecking the course
"This isn't Ibushi you racist!" -Phillip, technically in the navi and a chat thing, but felt the need to put it here for some reason
Asa proposing to his wife on the start-line
BAD:
Shingo failing the Rolling Hill really sucked
Yuuji, Ryo, Shunsuke, and Nagano all failing the Warped Wall
Kawaguchi failing the Cliffhanger
UGLY:
Takeda failing the Rolling Hill
Asa failing the Cliffhanger... again
Shinya having to drop out the day of the competition

Good:
The tournament as a whole was bloody amazing;
The music on the Music Box;
Wreath Man;
KANNO FINALLY CLEARING THE CCH;
Nagano, Yuuji and Ryo failing the Warped Wall;
Asa failing the CCH again;
(I'm not a sadist, but the fails made the tournament more exciting);
Tackle Box + Warped Wall is a thing of beauty;
The goosebumps I had for the entire final stage.
Bad:
Drew on the CCH was a real shame;
Nagasaki getting cut from the broadcast (his fail would have only made the first stage that much more dramatic);
Forgetting that Sasuke 31 even happened and accidentally spoiling the result for myself (my bad).
Ugly:
Shingo and Takeda (even though I missed Takeda's fail);
Yuuji on the Tackle Box.

Good: Yusuke achieving total victory, KANNO FINALLY CLEARED THE CCH! Hioki just BARELY passing stage 1, not too many drownings in the backstream this time! NEW SALMON LADDER! Darvish clearing stage 1
Bad: Yuuji, Ryo, and Nagano failing the warped wall... all in a row..., Okada timing out where he did..., Asa once again missing the CCH... Kanno losing to the vertical limit.
Ugly: Both 1st obstacle fails from Shingo and Takeda... WHAT THE HECK YOU 2?! The Tackle box warped wall combo was a killer...
Annoying: wreath man... -_- Sorry he never was a thing to me... he flat out was annoying. *prepares for rage comments*

Drew having to run stage 3 twice because of a rule he didn't know about. What rule do you speak of and how far did he get on the first run? |

Drew having to run stage 3 twice because of a rule he didn't know about. What rule do you speak of and how far did he get on the first run? There was this rule where you can't face directly at the 4th ledge. I seen a video on Drew's instagram and he used that technique. Technically, that's not allowed. Heck if that rule was legal, Drew would probably clear stage 3, And possibly Stage 4. |

The Good:
Morimoto's Kanzenseiha! He just destroyed a very difficult course and put on a master-class Stage 3 and 4 performance.
Kanno finally clearing the Crazy Cliffhanger.
Wreath Man!
The Rolling Hill is a really cool first obstacle.
The Tackle is one of the best obstacles in the First Stage. The Tackle + Soritatsu Kabe is a deadly combination of obstacles.
The Bad:
Asa's continued struggles with the CCH.
I don't like the new Salmon Ladder very much, but it's better than the disaster that was the SSL.
The Music Box is really weird. Super-mechanical obstacles just feel out of place in SASUKE.
The Ugly:
The awful rule that took away Drew's CCH clear.
The CCH in general. It's ridiculously harder for certain body types and seems extremely luck based.
Nagano's Kabe fail. He was crushing the First Stage but just looked like he'll never beat the Wall again.
The Shingo and Takeda brain-fart show.

The good:
1st stage was approprietly difficult
Asa teaching Kanno how to propose
"good" number of 1st stage clears including rookies
Warped wall is still in, Roller hill = best 1st obstacle in years
CCH being 4th obstacle
Look of the 2nd stage + Backstream not being impossible to clear
The bad:
My favorites getting cut (again *sigh)
Backstream is still a thing
The ugly:
Drew CCH DQ,and we were not shown the actual clear
Yamada

Can I just say get RID of the warped wall and CCH? Warped wall is a personal grievance, but it's old, boring, and kind of unfair. It gets slippery at times and taller competitors have an unfair advantage (though shorter competitors have an advantage on many other obstacles so whatever). The CCH just eats too many people. I want to see a 3rd stage that DRAINS people like the old days. Everyone now is flying through the first few obstacles but losing on the CCH just because that transfer is nigh impossible. Take out the CCH and make the other obstacles tougher, or add more obstacles in general.

Hmmmmm....even though that cliffhanger is super hard.....I still like it becuase it just sets SASUKEs 3rd stage than any other show among the world. Its difficulty is an international problem and ONLY the best can pass it. |

Right now everyone is blitzing the first 3/4 obstacles without any difficulty, and then instantly losing on the CCH even if they're not tired because of the transition. |
