I Don't Need No User Title
Sasuke or Ninja Warrior is considered to be the world's toughest obstacle course. It consists of four increasingly difficult stages. The first competition, Sasuke 1, took place in 1997, and the most recent competition, Sasuke 31, took place in July 2015. Completing all four stages is called "kanzenseiha" in Japanese or "total victory" in English. Only four men have accomplished this feat: Kazuhiko Akiyama in Sasuke 4, Makoto Nagano in Sasuke 17, and Yuuji Urushihara in Sasuke 24 & 27.

If you ran the course (any version), how far do you think you could get?
Any potential new ideas for Sasuke 32?
Keep it all in here.
Shingo Yamamoto is my favorite competitor. He's competed in every single tournament and is pretty likeable.
My favorite is either the Salmon Ladder or the Ultimate Cliffhanger (Sasuke 25) version. I like the ones that are really difficult for some reason.
1-4 - Time out on the Rope Climb
5-17 - Jump Hang
18-24 - Jumping Spider
25-27 - Rolling Escargot
28-31 - Rolling Hill/Jump Hang Kai
First - Rolling Hill, Rolling Escargot, Spin Bridge (27), Jump Hang Kai, Tackle Machine, Double Warped Wall, Slider Jump, Rope Ladder
Second - Slider Drop, Swap-Salmon Ladder (Minus DQ Rule), Unstable Bridge (2 bridges, wider gap), Metal Spin, Backstream (29), Wall Lifting (100, 120, & 140 pounds)
Third - Rumbling Dice, Iron Paddler, Drum Hopper, Cliffhanger (Still thinking on name, Description below), Pipe Slider
Final - Horizontal Rope & Vertical Rope from Viking
Here's my idea for the Cliffhanger, which makes it almost impossible. First three ledges are from Sasuke 25's Ultimate Cliffhanger. The fourth ledge is the really thin ledge from the Ultimate Cliffhanger. Competitors must then jump backwards into another really thin ledge from the Ultimate Cliffhanger. Then, they complete the obstacle with one more ledge, identical to the Crazy Cliffhanger's final ledge. Would this make the third stage impossible? Maybe, but there's been 3 total victories in the last 8 tournaments, which is just plain ridiculous. With these changes, achieving total victory would mean something, not that it doesn't now but it's undeniably been devalued.
Yusuke Morimoto also achieved total victory in Sasuke 31.
