Even the butterfly wall looked more interesting though. And it was just funny to see people jump and ram into the side of it, hanging on for dear life. The butterfly wall is my all-time favourite second obstacle. Would love to see them bring that back, if only to see The Octopus attempt it again.

Im in agreement with this, personally i believe Sasuke 14-15 had the best overall setup of all 4 stages during that time, evry obstacle flowed into the next not to mention it was extremely difficult.

If they allowed the Circle Hammer to move freely (as opposed to having a metal bar stop its progress), then it could get interesting.
You know what I'd like to see in Stage 2? The Arm Bike. It seems like a great fit for a speed course, and since the stage is all about upper body to begin with, it's a good fit.
I'd also like the S2 time limit dropped back to 65, but baby steps.

The Circle Hammer is a good obstacle in that there was a strategy to do it effectively (see Luci Romberg's attempt on the Circle Hammer, she did it perfectly in my opinion), and those who didn't use that strategy lost time (as they should). However, as a viewer, the obstacle just wasn't entertaining enough for me. Maybe I'm being a little greedy though. I like the obstacles to be a combination of entertainment, and requiring skill to pass. Many of the obstacles have that combination, but the Circle Hammer just takes a little bit too much time for me (I mean, they even cut about 20 seconds off the first guy I think, while he was doing it).

The circle hammer isn't that bad...
I mean its the second obstacle, it really isn't supposed to be hard.
However, I do agree, the Butterfly wall was pretty awesome.

It was. I kinda liked it better when it was paired with the Hurdle Jump; hardly anyone failed the Cone Jump in 14, but the Hurdle Jump in 15 took out a LOT of people. I believe it was a G4 Ninja Killer, and rightly so. The Butterfly Wall might make a suitable replacement for the Circle Hammer, but that's up to the designers, of course.

The hurdle jump is one of my all-time favorite obstacles. It is harder than the Sextuple Step, and the wipeouts are funnier. The Butterfly Wall was also known for some crazy falls.

Especially Octopus in 15. ;D
Actually, speaking of 15, there was that one guy that nearly fell off but recovered nicely. That was something.
I just wonder if it'll be back or what else could be replaced.

I'd rather have the Hurdle Jump over the Steps. I mean I've wanted to try that thing because it looks hard yet still easy.
Besides that it took out alot of people. And want to really make it sound better? First Sasuke obstacle I saw was it (Up to that all I had seen was Kunoichi on G4)

Same here.
The Hurdle Jump would be good on the course; it's challenging, can take out strong competitors, and it can drain your energy.

I hope the Circle Hammer goes. It reminds me of the Bungee Bridge from 18. Not challenging in the least - just a time waster.
And stage two... Please make it harder. :/

The difference is that the Circle Hammer took some people out... A few.. So it's not much different than the Pole Maze, but it's more entertaining to watch.

no changes for now...the first stage was exciting and difficult at the same time, in stage two it should be the skywalk, or armbike.

The rope climb is better than the rope ladder....
