m.imgur.com/gallery/YrgutCx Here's what I'm talking about. Last year's Final stage Salmon Ladder had 20 notches, this year has 16. Do the gaps look bigger or is it just me? Yeah, the gaps definitely seem larger.

As if the tower wasn't hard enough already. Time limits gotta be 50 seconds. Gotta be. 10 seconds for the shorter spider walk. (Based on how the gave 15 seconds for the 12meter one and the current one is 8 meters 20 seconds for the salmon ladder (just a guess) 10 seconds for every 5 meters of rope (so 20, because the 15 meters was 30 seconds and the 20 meters was 40 seconds.((which was too much IMO)))

It is slightly disappointing seeing (probably) only one obstacle change. If no other alterations were made then I reckon this is the first tournament to not introduce a new upperbody obstacle! To be fair though, if they're having two tournaments a year, they might not make as many changes from comp to comp.
I agree that the Fishbone looks kinda like a Wipeout obstacle, but I don't really mind because I really like that show. Just don't add smackwalls!! I thing this one could be a suprisingly tough obstacle. I also wonder how one would feel if you hit your head on one!
Obstacles one and two changing constantly in the All-Star era was really cool, especially since those are the ones you see the most because all 100 get to them. It's a shame that TBS lost their old things because the money problem in 2012, because they could bring back a different old obstacle as a wild-card choice every year to keep everyone guessing. I guess they did that with the Rolling Hill, but still!
I really wish the course structure could be less predictable (slider obstacle in #2 position, motor balance obstacle in #3), but yeah I understand the budget.
Would be shocked if Stage 2 wasn't changed at all though!

I'm calling it right now.
Mark. My. Words.
Arsenette will probably agree with me.
Based on how obstacles from ANW and VIKING somehow made it to Sasuke at some point....
After Ultimate Beastmaster airs, some obstacles will end up at Sasuke at some point.

Right ?!? I mean.. look at this: I'm sure if Yusuke saw this he'd say... nope, nevermind Arsenette was right, bring back the body prop, make a Sasuke peg board, just.. get rid of these things.

I mean, Ultimate Beastmaster was made by ATS, ATS also are the obstacle and construction people for ANW, Inui met with ATS and talked obstacle ideas together (see Tick Tock/Double Pendulum, Floating Tiles/X Bridge (Kunoichi), It very well could happen

I think for the next tournament they should combine the Hedgehog and the Fishbone and they would get...THE SHREDDER!!!

I have this horrible feeling we are going to see a Drew derp. Hope I'm wrong. I have the same feeling.

The last person to screw this up will be Drechsel. He loves stuff like this so that's unlikely. It's definitely going to pose a huge danger to many familiar names though.

As it's the same speed their's probably a pattern through it. I think once people start working out the pattern then it will be crossed fairly well. Going to be a bloodbath on early numbers though

Figuring out this obstacle won't be easy. Height will play an important role to this + agility. Drechsel seems to be on heavy pressure when competing in ANW but in SASUKE he seems more relaxed so that's why I believe he can do it. Only time will tell though.

Drechsel seems to be on heavy pressure when competing in ANW but in SASUKE he seems more relaxed so that's why I believe he can do it. Only time will tell though. Drew if very strong, very powerful, and very quick. But he misjudges A LOT. Missed a rope on a second obstacle qualifier, missed the dismount of the Unstable Bridge, mistook a foothold for a handhold on Stage 3 (all in ANW). In Sasuke he has completely messed up a landing so badly he destroyed his knee. Some would even argue he's due for a non-Stage 3 failure at this point. That's typically how the pattern goes, with the crazy streaks of Takeda. Nagano, and even Okuyama back in the day really being the only red herrings. I believe that he and Morimoto have the best shot at total victory, but like many others, I have a feeling we'll be seeing a serious slip up out of him at some point.

The Shredder -Logan's original obstacle- isn't actually made of metal or any sort of hard material so it results in injury. It's made out of a soft material instead.

Most of these failures though came at a time where Drechsel wasn't that good. There was potential but he was nowhere near the level he is today. These 2 last years have a sensational for him and he is definitely a person who can save most of Stage 1 mistakes. (Take SASUKE 31 and ANW US vs The World) for example. I'm no mind-reader though and I'm really especially rooting for a single completitor so we'll see what happens. We can agree on the fact that this obstacle has a tremendous hype behind it. I'd like to see it make as much damage as the Spin Bridge did in 28.
