Just like I did for 22 im doing it again for 23 whats your early predictions feelings or hunches for sasuke 23?
I'll start of course
The final stage will be reached again by Nagano or Yuuji or BOTH
7 will pass stage 1
4 will pass stage 2
1 or 2 will pass stage 3 1 definatly will from whom ive named above!
Not decided if a win will happen yet im not sure
I think there will be 3 changes to the course two new obstacles in stage 2 and one in stage 3.
stage 1 will stay the same
Shingo will fail the slider jump
Akiyama the warped wall
Yamada the jumping spider
Takeda the Cliff Hanger
Nagano will be probably climbing the tower or if he does fail earlier then something in stage 2.
Levi will fall on the salmon ladder
Kanno fail the slider jump sadly
Lee Yen chi the cliff hanger again
Yuuji - final stage or if he fails sooner slider jump only thing i can see really.
Okuyama something new in stage 2
Campbell - slider jump ( sorry mate)
Thats my thoughts so far...

I think that no one will attempt the final stage. (Since 14 its been one Final Stage out of 4 tournaments)
8 will pass Stage One
6 will pass Stage Two
0 will pass Stage Three
The First Stage will probably stay the same, maybe the Circle Hammer will be replaced.
Stage Two's gonna have big changes: Two new obstacles, and a stricter time limit
Stage Three will replace the DGG, add a fifth Jumpng Bar, and maybe make the Gliding Ring harder.
The All Stars:
Akiyama (If he competes): The Slider Jump
Shiratori (If he competes): The Rope Ladder (He was pretty slow on the RL in 21)
Yamada: The Jumping Spider (I don't think he'll ever beat it again)
Shingo: The Slider Jump or Time Up
Takeda: A new Second or Third Stage obstacle
Nagano: The Gliding Ring
The Five Who Cleared:
Yuuji: Hang Climbing
Kanno: Slider Jump
Lee: The Shin Cliff Hanger
Okuyama: A new second stage obstacle
Sato: Shin Cliff Hanger (I have a feeling he's gonna beat stage two)

14 will pass Stage One-Takeda, Nagano, Urushihara, Enchi, Kawahara, Hiromitsu Takahashi, Kenji Takahashi, Iketani, Levi, Keita Tomino, David, Miyazaki, Terek,and Shunsuke Nagasaki
4 will pass Stage Two- Takeda, Kawahara,Terek, and Nagasaki
1 will pass Stage Three- Kawahara
The First Stage will probably stay the same, maybe the Circle Hammer will be replaced.
Stage Two's gonna have some changes: One new obstacles, a stricter time limit, heavier bar on Salmon Ladder, and shorter runup on the Metal Spin.
Stage Three will replace the Arm Rings,DDG, and add more bars to the jumping bars.
The All Stars:
Akiyama: Warped Wall
Shiratori: Slider Jump
Yamada: Jumping Spider
Shingo: Slider Jump, he touches the water.
Takeda: New Stage 3 obstacle

only three predictions:
Nagano gets to third stage and if he gets to final stage he achieves kanzenseiha
Yuuji Urushihara fails stage 1 or doesn't get to far stage 3 anyway
Shingo passes stage 1 and gets to stage 3

I'll guess.
Clear Stage 1: 8
Clear Stage 2: 6
Clear Stage 3: 2
Clear Final Stage: 1
Usually I'm much more conservative about predicting results, but I feel like something big is going to happen.

Im still feeling my original impulses too in terms of thought and think 7 pass stage 1 , 4 pass stage 2, 2 pass stage 3 I'm still pining for that Nagano Yuuji final.
Yuuji winning is too close to call it could happen or he might just come up short within seconds again.
If Nagano gets there I just cannot help but think hes going to do it, and humiliate the designers in the process.
He beat the prevous one (spider climb and 10m rope) in 28 seconds.
The new one is that 13.5 meter high 43ft roped ladder then the 10m rope and the time limit is 45 seconds we know he will fly up the rope (Unless the G factor really is there).
I reckon hes used to climbing ladders on his ship so just imagine he flies up the ladder in like 14 seconds then has the 10m rope he has like 31 seconds left to do that and will only take him 15 sec lol he could win with over 10 sec to spare.

I have a feeling that the producers realized that the Final Stage was not so hard and may make changes to it and maybe stages 2 or 3. We'll see...

I would not be too suprised if they chopped the final stage time down to 30- 35 sec where it should be.
But im predicting based on it remaining the same time.

I still think the G-rope is measurably harder than the regular Rope Climb, but 45 seconds is a bit too much. 40 would have been perfect.

We need to see some bigger (in size) atheletes attempt the final to see if there really is any stretch down on the rope to obstruct the climb, with Yuuji there was nothing but based on how light he was he was just perhaps ideal for this. |

For the last time, we are not going to see a 30 second time limit final stage. Yuuji's climb does not necessitate a huge time cut of 10 seconds let alone 15. It's common sense that TBS must be a little subtle in their changes to each stage without making it clear that results from the last tournament influenced them DEEPLY. If a cut in time limit is just too insulting to viewers and competitors (if you know what I mean) then it's just time for a change in design. Like for instance when the Rumbling Dice was too much of a knob job and drained competitors from the get go. They didn't make the track shorter, that would have been stupid, they replaced it with the Arm Ring. It wasn't as challenging, and nobody really knew that, it was just a debatable change. |

The changes are supposed to be influenced by the previous results. That's the entire point of the changes, not something that needs to be hidden. If a cut in time limit is just too insulting to viewers and competitors (if you know what I mean) then it's just time for a change in design. Admitting they made a mistake is not the same as insulting viewers. Quite the opposite, I would think. |

They definitely won't change the Final Stage time limit- they purposely set it and leave it so competitors know the goal they are working toward.

45 is a little high I'm not gonna lie. The way he climbed the ladder made it look easy and climbed the rope slowly but still managing to come up only a few feet short makes it seem like any of the all stars could do it easily. I would have chosen 40 seconds, but the designers presumed no one would reach the final in a long time and it's still much harder to get there than before, hence the extra time.
