That Inui actually keeps his word when he said the course would be experiencing a change.
My personal favorite Inui 180's: - "I want the warped wall out of the first stage" - Inui, prior to Sasuke 28... 2 warped walls in the next tournament. - "I will look through each and every concept design for obstacles delivered by fans during this neko neko broadcast" - Inui, prior to 2 hour live streamed show a few months before Sasuke 31... Gets more pictures than he expected, spends maybe a bit over a half hour looking at some, and spends the rest of the broadcast talking about literally nothing. - "First and Second Stage are getting overhauled" - Inui, prior to Sasuke 31... 4 new obstacles added to those 2 stages combined. - "The All-Stars are retiring", do I need to explain?

I hope some forgotten competitors get a chance this time. The return of Iketani (though he's competed somewhat recent), Maybe Jun, Tajima... I want a modest change, not quite as drastic as Nagano ushered in but more like what Yuuji brought after his first win (minus the 1st stage, it's good as is). Also... BRING... SHIRATORI... BACK as long as he's well. XD

Giggles. If anything Matty it proves that he alone is not in charge of Sasuke but is subject to TBS oversight since it's their IP. Trust me.. I agree with you and have had many arguments about it. Btw Logan.. my kingdom for the backstream gone.. 'nuff said. Hmm.. expectations.. I actually liked the flow of 31 personally so for me it's all about flow and pacing. Part of the reason why I hated the backstream is that it took away from the "speed" of the 2nd stage. Heck.. the swap salmon was a huge breaker for me as well since it was sooooooooooo damn boring to look at on TOP of the technical bulls**t that went with it.. I don't mind rehashing old obstacles we haven't seen in a decade so long as it's fair, well built and fits with the overall theme of that stage. For the record I hated the UCH because it was so fugly and an eyesore and didn't fit with the other obstacles in the 3rd stage to give you a comparison of what I mean about "theme". Personally I'd be happy with a tournament without a cliffhanger.. but I doubt that will happen. The last time Inui swore to remove an iconic obstacle (Wall) he got massive blowback and everyone raised pitchforks wanting his head.

And how the fluff did it get past H&S? Is there enough lifeguards to save the person from drowning? (I'm looking at you Yuuji) Also the SSL IMO is NOT a Salmon Ladder because you're going side-to-side, not up one side like the other three salmon ladder variants. And about the Cliffhanger...I wonder if Inui has ever watched Proto SASUKE before? If so...BRING IN THE ALTITUDE LIMIT!

By that logic, the DSL wasn't a Salmon Ladder because you had a gap to cross.

All I want is a full Kanzen Renewal course. Not as drastic as Nagano's renewal, as that resulted in a lot of dud obstacles (bungee bridge, cough, net bridge, cough, shoulder walk, cough, curtain swing).
Additionally, I don't just wanna see a smorgasbord of old and new like after Yuuji's 1st. In essence, I just don't like how much smaller the courses have become since Sasuke 28. I'm fine with keeping stage 2 short at 6 obstacles, but can we please just get stages 1 and 3 back to 8/9 obstacles, and just remove some of the ultra-strength drainers (Sidewinder R!) to compensate. I just want the sense of a "grand gauntlet" back, not just a short stage that can be beaten easily. The show needs to retake some of the difficulty it lost in the Rising era, especially in stage 1.
Maybe bring back 1-3 old obstacles, and maintain a similar amount from the RISING ERA, keep staples, but then just make everything new. Like in each stage, maybe have one returning obstacles, one RISING obstacles, one "staple" obstacle like the Warped Wall, and then just revitalise everything else.

You're still going up one side, but twice, making a jump in the middle. Anyways broadcast-wise I wanna see some fitting music, no unnecessary cuts and is anyone gonna ever re-enact the Matrix or the Cube with slow-mo effects to make the show more epic?

You're still going up to catch onto a set of rungs with each version. The SSL just has less. Not liking the obstacle is fine, but no need to create a reason out of thin air.
I would appreciate a Sasuke 25 style rehaul. Having a mix of new and older obstacles. Doubt the Circle Slider could get by H&S, though.

The last thing Sasuke needs is to turn into an unscripted action show. I very much prefer the limited editing that is done for pacing reasons, not to add "flair".

The last thing Sasuke needs is to turn into an unscripted action show. I very much prefer the limited editing that is done for pacing reasons, not to add "flair". I can see it now. Morimoto approaches the jumping spider, he slow-mo leaps. The shot pauses in mid-air and does a 360 degree rotation around Morimoto, complete with "suspense" sound effects. The camera un-pauses and Morimoto lands, but falls in the water. The shot tints red and a gunshot sounds in the background. The shot fades to black and the words "complete annihilation" appear on screen.

That and the cost of having the necessary equipment to film well and on one try. Proper cameras whose purpose is to film in slow-motion are expensive and considering the course makeup, would be a hassle to re-do filming technique for something you wouldn't use often

And people complained that they don't see enough of the tournament already and now they want time wasted on stupid-slow-mo that eats not only time but a considerable amount of their budget? HELL NO.

This is the show that had to scale back courses for budget reasons, yet people want these rigs around every obstacle...

My biggest hope? Tada gets a chance to run, not to mention Miska, and the other FinCli. Geoff also deserves a go at it. Still ambivalent about Isaac though. I think a kanzen renewal course is a good time to introduce new competitors actually, at least on the sasuke stage. If this is Nagano's last tournament, hope he passes stage 1 too. Ultimately, Nagano is almost like the Jordan of SASUKE, in that he almost has an unwritten 'love of the game' clause in there, so if he wants to leave or come back, the door is always open for him. Hopefully takeda and shingo make it through stage 1 too. I hope yuuji comes in more confident and ryo less cocky and Asa still as fired up as ever. Morimoto and Tomo just have to remain as rock solid as they've always been.
