Iron Paddler in Stage One?

[Dazed (Wiin)]

Tell me what you guys think about having the Iron Paddler in Stage One. I feel like you'd have two options for it in competition, either Kenji Takahashi it (and fly through it) or, well, fail I suppose. (Also, it might need some changes for it to fit with stage one like perhaps being shorter so people don't spent 2 minutes on one obstacle in a 2 minute stage, maybe have an easier way to dismount, etc).

Might as well just use a boat or a canoe and paddle across the body of water.



In all seriousness, though, I just cannot see the Iron Paddler as being realistically implemented in the First Stage. Like you've said, you either Takahashi Kenji through it or fail it, and the latter just doesn't seem like an option. I'm not saying it's theoretically impossible, but judging by the way things work in Japanese TV, they don't want someone just awkwardly dangling there for a whole minute, it just lacks the impact, y'know?

If it's the Arm Bike, I can still see that. We've had a couple dedicated arm-killers on the First Stage, and I also think that while the Iron Paddler itself may not be an ideal First Stage obstacle for SASUKE, it might work out if it's KUNOICHI instead.

No in Sasuke
Yes in Kunoichi
And if you wanted the Arm Bike, then we could have it before the Lumberjack Climb

Yeah, despite being the one who made the thread, I chose the 'Keep it gone' option since I was thinking there would be other obstacles like the Drum Hopper that could go in Stage One.

I think it is good obstacle for stage 1.
