Changes: Tackle Machine

Revision as of 08:12, 2 May 2021

Tackle Machine (タックルマシン) was the first obstacle of SASUKE 5's Second Stage, made Spider Walk modified in the same tournament.

Competitors must push a 50 kg (110 lbs) weight down a tunnel to reach the exit. There is only one way to fail this obstacle, which is timing out (which no one even came close to doing). It was replaced by Narrow in the next tournament.

Tackle (タックル) will then appeared in SASUKE 31's First Stage, replacing first wall from Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe, thus making Soritatsu Kabe returned as the sixth obstacle in the tournament. Like Tackle Machine previously, there is only one way for the competitors to fail this obstacle, by timing out.

Competitors have to keep pushing three boxes on a 12 metres track until the three boxes are joined altogether. The boxes each weigh 140 kg (roughly 308 lbs), 160 kg (roughly 352 lbs), and 180 kg (roughly 396 lbs), respectively. In total, competitors have to push the weight of 480 kg (roughly 1056 lbs) to the end. However, from SASUKE 32 onwards, the weight was increased to 240 kg (roughly 528 lbs), 300 kg (roughly 661 lbs), and 320 kg (roughly 705 lbs), respectively, making the total weight increased to 860 kg (roughly 1894 lbs), almost a ton. Due to that weight, a lot of competitors got fatigue after completing the obstacle and timed out at Soritatsu Kabe.

For female competitors, the boxes each weigh 70 kg (roughly 154 lbs), 80 kg (roughly 176 lbs), and 90 kg (roughly 198 lbs), respectively. In total, the competitors have to push the weight of 240 kg (roughly 528 lbs). However, like the male competitors' version, these weights were increased in the following tournament to 80 kg (roughly 176 lbs), 100 kg (roughly 220 lbs) and 120 kg (roughly 264 lbs), respectively, making the total weight increased to 300 kg (roughly 660 lbs).

Competitors could only be determined to clear the obstacle if they had traverse the entire length of the track, which is marked with the black and yellow line. They don't have to push the entire contraption in. The netting in the first box is there to assist them in getting over the boxes and onto the platform of Soritatsu Kabe.

Although this obstacle has a very high clear rate (only one victim), it was proven to be a massive energy drainer for the competitors. As a result, most competitors got tired and eventually timed out at Soritatsu Kabe later in the stage (such as Nagano Makoto, Urushihara Yuuji, and Matachi Ryo).

Due to the lenient time limit in SASUKE 33 and SASUKE 34, although the weight was kept the same, more competitors cleared the Soritatsu Kabe after that. However, the strict time limit from SASUKE 35 made the combination of obstacles much harder.
