Thank you Arsenette for the post and posting it up on G4 forums. I didn't even realize that until some source on youtube sent me the link to it.
But the credit of putting up the 1st stage for Sasuke must go to TheGameNinja, another YouTUBE account user.
Although I had the idea of making the course before he posted it up, he was the first one to have the video up on youtube of such a thing. Thus, I will not take credit for being the first person to create the 1st Stage. He should deserve the credit.
Sidenote: There are some differences with his and mine. I tried to make it almost exact as the actual sasuke course (Which worked except the connection between Pole Maze and Jumping Spider), with sizes confirming to the lego figures. However, he created just for design and creation of it. I have to say, though, that I might take his idea on Sextuple Steps. I will give a credit to him for that, if I do in the future.

Sasuke Final Stage?
So everyone is waiting for the revelation of the final stage for Sasuke. But if you saw some recap videos on recent Sasuke, such as 18 I believe, there is a snapshot of the new Final Stage. I don't have one myself right now, but I will upload later. It seems like there are two parts again, containing same elements. However, the spider climb is much shorter this time, and there are three different ropes to climb, instead of one.
What I can confirm right now is that there is hell below the final rope. At the end of Sasuke 20, after Nagano and Levi share a hug (in a non-homo way... >_>), there is a scene where the camera is shown at the top part of the tower, then at Levi and Nagano. At that moment, when the camera is focusing on the tower, you can see a yelloish rope and safety harness coming down from the top. HOWEVER, during the movement of camera, I was able to spot this:
On the right, you can see the tower (in a blur, because there was a movement) with the rope, but you can realize that the rope ends up much shorter than the past version of the tower. (The rope ends right bottom corner, with the white tape.)
This is lostinube's photo of the tower shot at day. By the way, he is one of the best guys to go to when it comes to Sasuke, so don't forget to visit his page. If you can see the red posts on the right, it is the height mark with one at every 5 meters. On the first picture, the rope ends at about where the two semicircle decorations are. (Lower ones.) To the right, you see the third red mark from the bottom, which is 15 meters, well higher than the past one.
My guess right now is that there is going to be at least 3 ropes, like in the video. I am not sure about spider climb because of the length of the rope, but it is possible. However, I am for sure that there isn't going to be one giant climb, just like first four Sasuke tournaments.

Lego Sasuke Series
So.... welcome to end of summer (Jesus Christ.... already?)
Since the school is about to start and I promised to myself I won't procrasinate (which I am doing right now, but it won't happen), I will do a project this year besides from school, something to do with legos and stop motion.
Recently, I fell into Sasuke too much, watching a lot of episodes, comparing the competitions with obstacles and stuff. Few weeks ago, I had an idea to build the ENTIRE course with Lego blocks, which would be no life + wasting time at the same time. But, as I went on with the so called 'bored project', it became something that I actually like and decided to make a stop motion video for me and my friends.
Some said I had too much free time, but besides from that, everyone was surprised/entertained with this. I told myself at that point to make this a youtube project, making episodes regularly for the series.
Sasuke, if you don't know already, is known as Ninja Warrior in America. (no, it is not Naruto, kthanx.) It took me 6 days to finish, and I'm still modifying to make it look and feel better (it has to work, doesn't it? What's the fun of rebuilding a course with Legos, if it isn't going to work?). Right now, I have the perfect set-up for the project.
In the mean time, I finished the all-around stage with one guy beating the whole course (final stage is still an assumption. We will find out what it is on 9/17, IF someone reaches the final stage). I rushed it, but I'm still happy with it. I used the actual footage on some places to make it look realistic.
Here's the video. If you want to, click on subscribe!
Also, here is a spoiler: The logo for the series

Basically, I took the letter U to make an O and G, took K to make a L, and took E to make....... an E!
So I guess I won't be posting here again until next Sasuke happens or until I have some progress on my first episode. Until then, have a nice day :D
