Lol, you crap all over 34 but call this one better? Looks like someone just wanted to see a final with no thought on the actual editing of the show, or meaning of the results. 34 felt like a copy of 33 in most ways. Didn't like it although I praised 33. This tournament was unique and good. Editing in First Stage could had been better, broadcast probably could had been cut by like a half hour, but overall I enjoyed the presentation. A Final is nice but not necessary, I've liked previous Sasukes better than this one without finals. They tried with this one, before and during the broadcast, as oppose to doing something like 3 day before trailers for 34. But you probably know me and my thinking better than I know it myself ;-O But the first stage was full of celebs, the second was as boring as ever and the third was made bittersweet with the green bar. They did a lot of this one, as you said, but everything for me comes with an asterisk and "but". I liked 34 as it took what 33 did and made it better in terms of a broadcast. This, on the other, seemed like a step forward on the surface but a step back in terms of direction and editing ala Sasuke 32.

I did really enjoy this tournament, though it probably could have used a slightly shorter run-time, which is something I don't normally say! The almost complete lack of digests was good though, especially for Shunsuke, Kong, Sato and Drew.
The new First Stage is exciting and dangerous throughout, Second Stage still has teeth, and the Third Stage is ridiculous but not impossible. Planet Bridge was an interesting addition and I do think that rest bar was needed. Also we finally saw the final in action and it was intense!
Ultimately the UCCH is no longer acting as a party-pooper and that's a relief. Hoping we'll see multiple final stage competitors in SASUKE 36, not least so that Morimoto stops getting all the tension sucked out of his runs by foregone conclusion!

The green bar nerf sucks in that they had to make the stage easier for someone to be able to clear, but really that should have been there to begin with. Morimoto BARELY got through it, and honestly no one even really comes close to his level. The hopes of a stage 3 clear cannot be solely on 1 person's shoulders.
Yeah, Tomo probably could've done it too... but really. There is a limit to what humans can do. The old combination was just asinine.

So now time for my review on SASUKE 35. All in all it was a good tournament. As expected, the Dragon Glider was a Ninja Killer for sure, and the time limit was drastically decreased to 85 seconds. It was good because it reminded me of old school SASUKE. Also the way the 1st Stage went was amazing. After the first 90, I was telling everyone in the chat that were going to see another SASUKE 20. However they proved me wrong thank god. The 1st Stage was everything I wanted it to be, suspenseful but action-packed. However in every SASUKE tournament there were always some bad/disappointing factors. The first one is the 2nd Stage. Come on now, for the 3rd year in a row aka the 4th tournament in a row, we get the same ol 2nd Stage. What makes this even worse is that ever since the renewal, there was no new obstacle in the 2nd Stage, just the return of the reverse conveyor. So I hope that when SASUKE 36 comes out later this year, they make some adjustments to the 2nd Stage. I have mixed feelings for the rest bar between the UCCH and VLK. One one side, I think they had to do this because if we keep experiencing the same result of the competitor not even finishing 1/3 of the VLK then as Universal Tuber said, that would be the end of SASUKE so they had to perform a cop out. However, on the other side, I think they shouldn't have because it would've made Yusuke's 3rd Stage clear more impressive. Not taking anything away from Yusuke just my opinion. And the FINAL STAGE, perfect time limit. 15 seconds for each obstacle. Yusuke would've gotten closer if it wasn't for his slip ups on the Salmon Ladder. Sorry for the LONG post but that's all my emotions regarding SASUKE 35. Hopefully SASUKE 36 later this year can top it. Overall: 8.5/10

Green bar was so needed, it made Stage 3 so much more exciting and do-able! Now we can significantly harder buffs to non UCCH/VL obstacles and it will still be a beatable stage! For the sake of developing the course it is definitely needed!

My thoughts on sasuke 35 was that this was the best tournament in a long while, I like that only 8 people cleared stage 1 and because that meant that they didn't need to rush stage 1 like they did the past several tournaments. The time limit was good. I think for sasuke 36 if they keep stage 1 the same the time limit should be 75 seconds as that for me would be the perfict time limit. Contestants would still have about 10 seconds of leeway to clear the course. The dragon slider has to be one of the deadliest obstacles in the history of stage 1 that was great.
Stage 2 was terrible to say the least. The stage 2 time limit is way to long. It should be all about speed like in the old Sasuke. 90 seconds should be the time limit for stage 2. No one should be able to take long breaks and still clear with 20+ seconds on stage 2. It used to be the hardest stage and now its just a filler stage.
Stage 3 was good and was not so good. It was good seeing the Green bar not allow all 3 to clear the Vertical limit and that the obstacle in its self is still hard but its bad because its still a nerf. I don't believe in nerfing any obstacle.
Final stage was awesome but 45 seconds is to long. 40 seconds would be much better.
Over all I would rank this tornament number 1 in the rising area

The Warped Wall at the end to end the course is similar to the end courses used in Sasuke Vietnam and Sasuke Indonesia.
I am glad they finally re-added a resting green bar between UCCH and Vertical Limit, in which Yusuke completed them for the second time.
But... Stage 4, that was challenging, but it can be beatable one day.
Overall, a great competition. Once again, I'll be looking forward to Sasuke 36.

Good tourn. First Stage was a nice shake up, although a little boring here and there--still good. Takeda's run was funny. Actually there were a lot of funny moments during this. I hope Darvish can get to Stage 3 next time. Overall Inui and the team really worked hard on this one and it showed, and a final attempt never hurts a tournament's appreciation. Lol, you crap all over 34 but call this one better? Looks like someone just wanted to see a final with no thought on the actual editing of the show, or meaning of the results. Isn’t that a bit harsh? I actually agree that this tournament was better over all. Sure the Final Stage attempt was a decent deciding factor for me, but new obstacles, good runs and some pretty interesting fails also made this for me. I quite enjoyed it personally and am psyched for 36

What if for the green bar nerf, it was raised about 3 feet higher, where the UCCH moving cliffhanger goes up, and after 10 seconds, it starts to sink like the coil crawl (Ultimate Beastmaster). That way, the competitor will have just enough time to shake out once or twice and chalk up without taking too much time. Compromise.

Yusuke is awesome. You can tell how he genuinely loves to be there and I think that helps him through the stages.
On another note, the Shin Sedai look done. They're getting older (especially Yuuji, my favorite competitor ever) and it shows. They all (Ryo, Yuuji, etc.) look gassed by the end of stage 1, after the Tackle, and have nothing left for the warped wall. It's tough to see, but at the same time, we've got guys like Hioki, Tomo, and Yusuke to lead the next group of stars.
Yusuke, if he makes it to the final stage next time, will definitely pass it.

No doubt in my mind as I said during the show Yusuke will beat this again in either 36 or 37!

Funny how much of ANW ended up in Sasuke this year. Courses ending in the warped wall have been an american staple for years now; its a hallmark of their qualifying course.
And the dragon glider is a copy paste job from this year's show, though I think the original dipper may have been a Sasuke original. Hard to tell when both shows are feeding off each other.
Tired of Stage 2 though. What a joke.

Wait, when was the Big Dipper on Sasuke? Am I going crazy and forgetting this stuff now?

The funny thing is I created the double U bars in my stick man SASUKE series in 2013 and then the double dipper appears a couple years later I wonder if someone from anw had been watching?

Not really in Sasuke Style to rig the rest bars.

Tired of Stage 2 though. What a joke. Really the only ANW add was the double dipper and even then they shook it up to be their own. The corse ending at the WW was due to the length of the course, which is fine as this was the first time in a while that I really liked stage one.
