Gone But Not Forgotten...(RIP)

[Kane-Not-Kosugi]

You guys probably thought someone died after reading the title, right? Lol okay I'll stop.

Anyways, I'm working on a project (Sasuke/Ninja Warrior related) and I need to be refreshed on lots of obstacles that haven't been in many tournaments lately. These can be obstacles from Sasuke, ANW, Kunoichi, or other global shows. I'm too lazy to go through an entire list on Sasukepedia so I'm asking you guys. Please let me know which obstacles you miss, which ones are super old, which ones are underrated or overrated, etc. Thanks.

Oh boy, here we go. If you want more info on these, look em up in Sasukepedia.

My Personal Top 10 Favorite Forgotten/Dead Obstacles:

1. Reverse Fly (SASUKE). The infamous trampoline jump from SASUKE 16, which only lasted one tournament.
2. Free Climbing (SASUKE). What existed from SASUKE 1-2, before the Rope Climb was there. A literal rock wall on a conveyor belt.
3. Mashou Kabe (KUNOICHI). The Hang Climbing taken up to 11...on Stage 2.
4. Tenkudou (KUNOICHI). Remember when the Final Stage was a balance beam? Neither did I.
5. Boufuudou (KUNOICHI). Can we have balance beams back? And what about balance beams combined with industrial fans?
6. Maruta Zaka (SASUKE). Basically, take the Spinning Log and put it on an incline.
7. Area 51 (ANW). Quite possibly one of the easiest Stage 3 obstacles ever, unless your name is Ryo Matachi.
8. Slack Ladder (ANW). For an obstacle that took out a parkour giant like Jesse La Flair, we don't really hear much of it.
9. Rope Swing (ANW). Yes, we literally had an obstacle where you grab a rope and swing to the other side. That's it.
10. Hang/Bom Slider (ANW/AuNW). Rounding it off, a pair of handles you ride on a track. Why was this in Stage 2?

Honestly Reverse Fly is best obstacle. Don't @ me

[DeAndre]

whatever that thing was that you grabbed a rope that had a lot of slack, with the rope jumped down to a platform underneath the original??

Indeed, the Rope Reverse. Catch a rope, swing down, and let go. I have no idea how people actually failed it.

Yeah that obstacle was so sick. I never watched 16 but the idea is great, would love to see this in ANW.

SASUKE 16 was the first tournament I ever saw. That's how I remember both this and the Reverse Fly so vividly.

[DeAndre]

oh sweet memories of the first time I watched ANW, not knowing the damn difference between Stage Three and Qualifiers... good times

Other obstacles I'd like them to bring back:
- Rail Runner. By far one of the best and most creative obstacles out there but only used for a season.
- [ANW7] Hourglass Drop and Walking Bar. (IDK why people hate these boyos)
- to a certain extent the Hang Climb
- Domino Pipes
- Time Bomb
- Metal Spin
- Wave Runner (i like this more than UnBr)
- Matt Iseman
- the Double Dipper
- Warped Wall on Stage One
- Propeller Bar
- Jessie Graff
- Salmon Ladder (man I miss this so much, I would love to see the Salmon Ladder back in Stage Two)
