Cliffhanger (ĐHN SASUKE and StF: RtS)


 * For SSAS versions of Cliffhanger, see Cliffhanger (SSAS)

Cliffhanger is one of the most iconic obstacles which appeared in every SASUKE tournaments from SASUKE 4 onwards. This obstacle also used in ĐHN SASUKE and Sofia the First: Road to SASUKE competitions in many versions.

First version
After the debut of the Crazy Cliffhanger in Sofia the First - Road to SASUKE, the first revision of ĐHN SASUKE's Cliffhanger, called Neo-Crazy Cliffhanger debuted in ĐHN SASUKE 2020: 5th Anniversary. The name of this obstacle is based on Stickman SASUKE's Neo True Ultimate Cliffhanger (or sometimes called as True Ultimate Cliffhanger). This time, it was increased to five ledges, the function is similar to the first version, but with several modification: The obstacle was proven to be sightly easier, as all competitors could clear this obstacle except cwrpg02 who failed to reach the fifth ledge.
 * The 2nd ledge has a small incline, while the 3rd ledge was a reflection to 2nd ledge. Both two ledges are located between the Crazy Cliffhanger's 1st and 2nd ledge.
 * The Crazy Cliffhanger's 2nd ledge was made slightly longer, and was moved to 4th ledge.

Second version
Due to the low knockout rate of the Neo Crazy Cliffhanger, it was modified to Ultimate Crazy Cliffhanger. This time, the first wall was adapted from the Ultimate Cliffhanger, except: Once competitors completed the first wall which consists of four ledges, similar to the previous version, competitors must make enough momentum and jump from the fourth to fifth ledge (which is located opposite of the fourth ledge).
 * The first and second ledge from the Ultimate Cliffhanger were removed.
 * The gap between the third and fourth ledge were smaller.
 * The sixth ledge placed the same height as the fifth ledge as well as the gap between the fifth and sixth ledge were smaller.

Same to the previous version, the obstacle led directly to the Vertical Limit with no rest. Only Orm Marius was attempted this obstacle, but he was falled when reaching the final ledge.

A resting platform was added in between the Ultimate Crazy Cliffhanger and Ladder Cling on ĐHN SASUKE Rising 2020, to give competitors ample time to rest. This time, only Orm Marius was attempted this obstacle one again, but he was cleared it.

Third version
After Orm Marius's kanzenseiha in ĐHN SASUKE Rising 2020, the obstacle was modified once again. This time being renamed as Shin-Ultimate Crazy Cliffhanger. The ledges have increased to 8 instead of 6. Once competitors completed the first wall which consists of seven ledges, similar to the previous versions, competitors must make enough momentum and jump from the seventh to the eighth ledge (which is located opposite of the seventh ledge).
 * The first four ledges are similar to the first four ledges of the Shin-Crazy Cliffhanger.
 * The third and fourth ledge of the Ultimate Crazy Cliffhanger were retained the same. Having the fact that the two ledges have been moved to the fifth and sixth ledge, while the sixth ledge was slightly longer.
 * The seventh ledge has the same height as the fifth and sixth ledge. The gap between the sixth and seventh ledge were slightly further than the one in fifth and sixth ledge.

Due to the fact that no competitor advanced to the Third Stage, the obstacle was left unattempted. However, on ĐHN SASUKE 2021: Sofia the First 2, only Orm Marius attempted and cleared it.

On ĐHN SASUKE 2021: 10th Anniversary, the obstacle was later beaten by Inazuma Sofia. After Inazuma Sofia's kanzenseiha, the obstacle was modified for the fourth time.

Fourth version
After Inazuma Sofia's kanzenseiha in ĐHN SASUKE 2021: 10th Anniversary, the obstacle was modified once again. This time being renamed as Shin-Hanger Limit. Hence the name and the leaked picture that host nam7ccaothang announced in the Discord server of Sofia the First Channel, the obstacle is a fusion of Cliffhanger and Vertical Limit. Compared to the previous version, notable changes include:


 * The overall obstacle comprised of five walls, instead of three in the previous version.
 * The first and fifth wall have a ledge only, the second and third wall have two Cliffhanger ledges and a Vertical Limit ledge of each wall. The fourth wall have 3 ledges in a similar to the Shin-Cliffhanger, but the third ledge was raised high.
 * The second ledge is perpendicular to the first ledge, and the seventh ledge is perpendicular to the eighth ledge. After reach the second ledge, competitor must reach the third ledge (a.k.a first Vertical Limit ledge), then reach the fourth ledge. At the fourth ledge, competitors have to make a transition to the fifth ledge, then reach the sixth ledge (a.k.a second Vertical Limit ledge), then reach the seventh and eighth ledge.
 * After reach the tenth ledge, competitors have to make a transition to the eleventh and final ledge and make a dismount.

Due to the course's immense difficulty, the obstacle was never attempted.

First version

 * "Not to be confused with SSAS's Crazy Cliffhanger"

Before ĐHN SASUKE, the Crazy Cliffhanger firstly debuted in Sofia the First - Road to SASUKE Season 2 (2020) as the fourth obstacle in the Third Stage. This obstacle consists of three ledges: However, due to the 2D design, it is impossible to design the transition from the second to the third ledge. Despite this, it would have been similar to the Cliffhanger Kai. In Sofia the First - Road to SASUKE Season 2 (2020), only Inazuma Sofia attempted and cleared it.
 * The first two ledges are the same to KUNOICHI 9's Cliffhanger.
 * The third ledge is located opposite of first two ledges. Where competitors have to make enough momentum and jump from the second to third ledge (similar to the Spider Flip).

On Sofia the First: Road to SASUKE Season 3 (2021), due to the fact that the Last Man Standing that day failed the Propeller Untei, the obstacle was left unattempted.

On Sofia the First - Road to SASUKE Season 4 (2023), due to the fact that the Last Man Standing that day failed the Peg Jump, the obstacle was left unattempted one again.
