Also because of the ladder, you don't fall after 45 seconds which also sucks but at least you can see the view from the top. What did they call it the G-Rope?
I hope they change something about the final stage after Yuji almost won.

They'd probably never change a Final Stage until SOMEONE wins. .....but then of course, the whole course would have to change, too.

remember the last time someone almost won. Wasn't in Sasuke 13 it exactly the same final stage with the exact same time limit? If Nagano missing by a fraction of a second isn't enough to change it. Nothing is..

When someone almost won it last time, they slightly modified the 1st stage and then the 3rd stage(added those 3 obstacles were the 1st track of pipe slider was) 1st stage-Rolling Log had drops, Warped Wall was taller, Jump Hang needed more distance...couple new obstacles

They replaced a stationary metal ladder(which originally was the first part) with a rope one I guess with the impression it makes it harder thats fair enough but the time should be 35 seconds maxiumum next time! I do have to say though whenever this course is beaten I hope they go with the spider climb - 3 ropes idea that would be the ultimate epic final.

i honestly like the swinging rope ladder through, if it swings, it can take more time, i mean Yuji handled it pretty easy but in 15 seconds, ummm spider climb took about 14 seconds meaning that it took less time. Give the rope a chance...id like to see the ladder and the 3 ropes more than the spider climb and 3 ropes (Not dissing the spider climb, but we've seen it a lot, we've seen the Heavenly Ladder once, give it a chance)

Yeah ladder and 3 ropes be good, I like this current final stage heavenly ladder is a gold name lol but the time limit should be lowered to 35 seconds maximum and then its perfect.

Well David said in the forum chat they tested it a few times and that 45 seconds was the "impossible" time they decided on.
BTW, whats different about the rope for them to call it G-Rope? Does that mean it's been in places that if you found out you will never want to grab that rope no matter how determined you are to win?

Yeah I was in the room when David talked about that - im confident the time will be slashed by 10 sec in the next tourny, the obstacles are fine - Heavenly ladder- G rope as I said in another thread God rope? .

I'm hoping, but now that the time is set I don't think they change it until someone else beats the final stage.. Which hopefully is 23. OK, That seems better than my guess

Im guessing the rope may be weak in certain areas, looks different from the previous ropes, maybe its possibly sumwhat slick and harder to climb we need a video of yuji rope climbing aside from the final stage...

IMO, had Yuuji had 22.5 meters to climb, rather than 23 (as you can see, half a meter makes a difference), there is no doubt in my mind he would have won, with at least 2-3 seconds left. Oh well, hope he, Nagano and/or Takeda make it in 23, I'm eager for a winner after that.

45 =/= leanient.
think about it, he flew up the ladder in 20 seconds, 20!!! if it was 30 seconds, he would be out at around 15 meters. 45 is the best time for this stage.
anywho, i rly doubt nagano or ANYBODY will win on their first time, but i think if Yuuji makes it again, and he worked on his rope climb, he will win. But i think it'll be a stage 3 fail next time.

I still think a fairest time is 35 seconds personally its still doable it will just take a fantastic performance from the competitior kinda like the previous one people got close but wasn't good enough and then finally Nagano had a extra surge of perfection and he managed it.

After thinking back on it, I've come to the conclusion that I've misjudged the difficulty of the final stage. Yuuji actually was a good rope climber, it was just at the end when he lost steam. He also FLEW up the ladder.
On the time issue: Based on the history of this course, once the time is set on the final stage it isn't changed. To change the time would give the impression that the producers weren't prepared. I think the producers created the final stage just as it was intended- Yuuji simply almost beat it.

I think the time is a bit lenient but I'm sure we as a group are underestimating it. To what degree is unclear. Obviously we'll have to see more people attempt it before we can draw conclusions.

True. Nagano is one of the better rope climbers (then again, he flew up the spider climb), but he could be a bad ladder climber (not to mention the ladder is rope now). Hopefully, we'll see in 23.
