How would you have done in SASUKE 40?

[sasukewarrior333]

So, let's say one of the random celebrities was replaced by you, how do you think you would do?

If you can be descriptive about how you think you'd fail specifically that would be even better e.g I'd stumble off course after dismounting the Dragon Glider or I'd skim the water on the Fish Bone, gives the descriptions a little more flavour I feel.

As for me, Quad Steps are extremely easy so I could beat them, and I could honestly do it reasonably quickly. I'd do the obstacle quickly then stop on the fourth one to steady myself for the transition to the Rolling Hill. The Rolling Hill is tricky, but if I take my time I could beat it, and I'd make sure to dig my feet in to minimise rolling. I don't have very good grip strength, but the Silk Slider is fairly easy to hold onto and I think I'd have good technique for the dismount so I could beat that too.


The Fish Bone is realistically where I fail, I'm clumsy at the best of times and it's a very tricky obstacle. Additionally, I'd likely be worried about the time at this point due to taking a while on the Rolling Hill so I think I'd probably rush it and end up falling somewhere in the middle, possibly on the transition to the kai section.


If I do get lucky and beat the Fish Bone, the Dragon Glider is putting me to bed. The trampoline isn't a concern, I'm great with them, but I'd either peel off the bar instantly or as it was sliding down the first track due to the combination of my aforementioned poor grip and lack of training. No major loss however, as I'd likely be running very low on time and would have very poor technique for the Tackle and Warped Wall anyway.

So, how do you think you would've fared in this tournament?

Worst Scenario:Fail the Quad Steps like Kasuga and Monk Guy
Best Scenario:Instantly fall off the Silk Slider because i cant hold onto things

[cb]

I've got three obstacles I think I could fail.
1) Rolling Hill - Unless I am cautious on it, there's a high chance I'll make a mistake and fail it.
1) Fish Bone - I'd probably make a silly mistake and mistime it or I could rush it and fail that way.
2) Dragon Glider - I'd probably miss the jump to the bar or fail the transition to the second track.

[zachgtan]

I think I'll fail the transition from Quad Steps to Rolling Hill, the same way #3901 failed because I'm of a similar build to him.

If I somehow pass that I'm probably gonna fail the dismount by sliding down the barrels.

[YourResidentKojiFan]

Absolute best case scenario for me is that I fail the Tackle. I don't have the power to push 860kg 12 meters, (or really anywhere for that matter) so there's no chance I'm beating it. To be more descriptive though, I'll list how I think I'd do at every obstacle, and my chance of completing it.

Quad Steps: I've done them a billion times at my training gym, and unless the pressure REALLY gets to me, I'm good.

Chance of completion: 99%

Rolling Hill: Never trained on it, but I've seen the technique, so as long as I get my foot placement right, I'm good. I can certainly make the jump, I've got good jumping skills, and I can take a bit of time since I know I'm not clearing anyway. I'm worried that I'll accidentally cause the rollers to roll while I'm descending though.

Chance of completion: 60%

Silk Slider: Yeah, I can definitely do this one. My grip strength, while definitely not anywhere near as good as it could be, isn't bad, and I'm certain I can hold on to that curtain for three seconds. Only concern is the dismount, but I'm fine as long as I don't pull a Shingo or go too fast.

Chance of completion: 90%

Fish Bone: Actually, my balance is pretty solid, so I think as long as I don't mistime the transitions, I should be okay. As long as I get past the first four pedestals, I'm good, since the last two have that huge gap between the bones that you can easily run through. The problem is, I think I'm pretty likely to mistime a transition. I always doubt myself, so I'd probably tell myself not to go when I know the time is right, then go five seconds later and get bonked off.

Chance of completion: 50%

Dragon Glider: I actually think I could do it. I've trained on a slider with a track that's basically like its first track, and I should be fine on the trampoline since my gym has mini-tramps all over the place. My biggest concern though would be the transition between tracks. I've never been the best at timing, so I'd probably just end up doing what Kanno did in 38 and letting go too late. If by some miracle I make it though, I'm confident in my grip strength enough that I can say I'd hold on long enough to not skim my feet on the dismount. Again though, I highly doubt I'm making that transition. Not to mention I could also mess up the trampoline, I'm by no means perfect.

Chance of completion: 2%, LIKE THE FREAKIN' MILK BABY (please somebody get this reference)

And like I said, I'm not completing the Tackle in time. Though even if I did, my fear of injuring myself on the Warped Wall would do me in on the second one.

[brz0ny]

If I had to do it immediately then probably Quad Steps to Rolling Hill transition. If I was allowed to train then probably Fish Bone.

Just don't do a Ryo and you'll be fine. Sorry, I just had to, especially as your thumbnail photo is of Ryo, lol.

In that case, you time out on the Reverse Conveyor after defeating the Backstream right?

So then you'd do the average of the competing All-Stars and fail obstacle 7.5, which rounded up is 8. Congrats, you're in the Second Stage! Just please at least fail the Rolling Log like Keitaro and not Fujita.

I hate to be that guy, but wouldn't 7.5 technically be the second Warped Wall? :/

I suppose so, but hey, that's where Nagano failed at least. Better to be compared to him than Yoshikazu Fujita.

To be fair, Fujita is BUILT, so I wouldn't mind being compared to him too much. Also his clear was impressive, what with how slow he started and with how casual it was despite being so close.

Exactly, I either do Ryo in 40 or Ryo in 37!

[katoshiho]

I probably will beat the first three obstacles.
Fish Bone is bit tough, But I think I can make it if I can catch the balance.
Dragon Glider, well, first I need to make sure I can do the same “順逆” for the first track, and the second transition. Nevertheless, I still have chance to clear it.
Tackle. Of course I will not time out there, but it will cost me time.
Finally, Soritatsu Kabe, it not too hard if you prepared for run (unless you are not tall enough). I think I have a 80% chance to clear it.
However, I only have 15% chance to cleared Stage 1. That because I'm not sure can I pass Fish Bone and Dragon Glider.
If I cleared Stage 1, then Rolling Log will lost my time, but not failed there.
Salmon Ladder is also tough. I need to make sure that my power is enough to handle it and endure the pressure from Kudari.
Spider walk is not too hard. Although, I still need to be careful for it.
And finally I think I will time out at Back Stream if I cleared all the obstacles before. That will only have 3% chance to proof it.

[Thislebard]

Given the current state of shape I'm in and how I have not trained for the show religiously in a very long time, definitely not past the quad steps. If I did when I was 15 to 17 training religiously, it would be the 2nd warped wall probably. If I managed to beat the warped wall at 15-17 somehow, either the rolling log or the spider walk.

[sackeshi]

Stage 1

Quad Steps- Clear

Rolling hill- Clear if I don't get unlucky on the transfer to the obstacle.

Silk slider- I mean I would hope I'd clear lol, but I could see maybe 20% chance I'd some how mess it us lol.

Fishbone- If I get the timing right I would probably clear, I'd give my self about a 67% chance to clear.

Dragon Glider- I think I clear this, being 6ft tall would help lol.

Tackle- I could do it my legs would likely be jello but I could do it.

Warped walls- I think I would manage since I got up a taller one in Brian's LA gym.

Overall I'd give myself a 50% clear chance.

Stage 2- I either fail the Salmon ladder or Backstream of clear. I am not a good swimmer, and not great at salmon ladders but I could maybe make it up 4 rungs.

Stage 3- I could make it to the blind X jumps but would fail there.

[nekomi3]

Given my habit of being a fat hikkikomori playing games and watching vtubers all day, I'd say the last step of Quad Steps will be where I fall haha

If there's a miracle, I might fail the dismount of Rolling Hill.

[azn]

The most realistic fail for me would be the Rolling Hill transition from the quad steps. However If I somehow clear that, I can totally see myself fail every subsequent obstacle, but if luck was on my side the furthest I can see myself going is timing out on the Tackle.

[ahzoo]

Realistically, failing the first Quad Step, because I genuinely can't jump more than 25cm without risking serious injury to myself, or those around me lol.

Knowing that, I'd therefore almost certainly make it took like I'm too preoccupied with going fast and looking down and try to leap as far as I can... to the left side, as 8 tournaments of seeing the first Step be on stage left had done a number on my mental image.

If you're going to go out, go out in style.

Well, if you follow the trend of doing as well as your profile pic, then you reach the bottom of the Tsuna Nobori and get second place of the tournament... no pressure!
