How about adding Domino Hill/ Tourenban to SASUKE Stage 2

[kiminonawasasuke]

No, seriously you can't take the whole one from KUNOICHI as it's too long for a speed stage. But just like, take the last 16 slimmest, highest and hardest dominos and then places it around somewhere of Stage 2. It's long enough to slow down your pace if you're too careful, but if you rush you will 90% slam your face to the mat. It's cool right?

I wouldn't mind seeing more Kunoichi obstacles in Sasuke. Domino Hill might be more suited to Stage 1, though.

It wouldn't be awful in Stage 3 either. Stage 3 used to have balance obstacles in the earlier tournaments.

Either have it replace the Backstream in Stage 2 or have it as the first obstacle of Stage 3. I agree it would be an interesting new (well, not new but the first time in ages) element to incorporate into Stage 3, but I think unless it's the very first obstacle (similar to in the earlier tournaments), it would be a massive pace breaker, and also give competitors' upper bodies too much of a chance to rest. Imagine putting it between the Cliffhanger and Vertical Limit lol.

I'd say maybe replace the Reverse Conveyor with Domino Hill, maybe add the Metal Spin where the Backstream is and then you got a pretty good Stage 2. I could see Domino Hill being like the Unstable Bridge (easy if you go slow, but at the expense of timing out, but hard if you go too fast).

Ultimate Domino Hill from SASUKE Ninja Warrior Indonesia can be a great addition to the Second Stage. Like their International Competition proved that this obstacle can eliminate competitors like Hioki Masashi, Kawaguchi Tomohiro, Morimoto Yūsuke, and Matachi Ryo.

That's a good shout, however, I would like to recommend Buyoishi as it did serve as Second Stage obstacle at KUNOICHI and it can also did damage.

Okay but like most of them didn't even fail fail the obstacle. It was that dumb rule where you had to step on every single tile. If not majority of the people would have cleared it.

Kane-Not-Kosugi on the subject of DQs, not as dumb as in Sasuke Vietnam where Lee En-Chih got disqualified for sliding the Rumbling Dice.

Either way, the obstacle should be re-designed such that skipping a tile is deemed a really risky move and much harder to execute than stepping on every single one, but competitors are allowed to do so (think not being disqualified as a 'reward' for completing the obstacle in a harder way). Space the dominos farther apart, as a starter.

I would've thought it would be a good follow-on from the Rolling Log with the residual dizziness massively affecting balance and posture. The reason I say this is because I think the Salmon Ladder movement most competitors have kind of built up as a reflex action given the years of training on it, hence the dizziness wouldn't affect their chance of clearing in the same way as it would on an effectively new balance-based obstacle, which itself utilizes skills massively altered by dizziness. Balance also strikes me as one of the least utilized skills on the Sasuke course, at least nowhere near as much compared to upper-body strength or speed, especially in recent tournaments now that there's no Balance Tank etc.
