Cliffhanger (SSAS)

The Cliffhanger has been one of the most iconic obstacles in SSAS history, being appeared in every SSAS tournaments, with having multiple variants.

First version
The first version of Cliffhanger, called as Crazy Cliffhanger appeared in all pre-release tournaments, as well as the first seven regular tournaments, including one celebrity special tournament. It was considered the

The obstacle was incredibly had a "double size" to the SASUKE 26-27 version of Ultimate Cliffhanger, making it the most dangerous Third Stage obstacle at that time. Unlike the Ultimate Cliffhanger, it has 11 ledges compared to 6. Notable changes compared to the Ultimate Cliffhanger include:
 * The first 3 ledges are the same as the Ultimate Cliffhanger.
 * The 4th and 5th ledge are similar to the Ultimate Cliffhanger's 5th and 6th ledge.
 * The 6th and 7th ledge were similar to the first two ledges.
 * The 8th and 9th ledge is look like a half mini-sized pipe.
 * The 10th and 11th ledge are similar to the 4th and 5th ledge.

The obstacle was proven to be unbelievably difficult, until it was selected to be "re-debuted" in SSAS 1. In its first tournament, all competitors who attempt it failed before anyone could even reach the sixth ledge, with the exception of Nakata Daisuke, who reached the eighth ledge and then his grip gave up while performing a transition to the ninth ledge.

In SSAS 2, Nakata Daisuke finally had his revenge on this obstacle and cleared it with ease. While the other two competitors who attempt it failed on the last two ledges. In SSAS 3, only 44lifedollars could attempt this obstacle, but he failed at the 10th ledge. In SSAS 4, the obstacle didn't eliminate anyone and was cleared by:
 * Matachi Ryo on his first attempt.
 * Nakata Daisuke for his second time, who later became the first competitor to clear the Third Stage for the first time in SSAS history.

In SSAS C1, Topo and Kal-El (later renamed Clark Kent) became another victims to fail there. However, Topo nearly cleared the obstacle, but his grip gave up at the last ledge. While Kal-El failed the obstacle before he could even reach the second half of the obstacle. In SSAS 5, this obstacle took out 2 new faces before they could even reach the second half of the obstacle. In SSAS 6, 2 more competitors failed on this obstacle, but with more competitors able to clear this obstacle, it was modified after 4 kanzenseihas were eventually made on that tournament.

The obstacle returned in SSAS Beastmaster, as the fifth obstacle in the third level of semifinals. This time, it eliminated every competitor who attempted it most likely due to fatigue.

Second version
A modified version of the Crazy Cliffhanger appeared in SSAS C2 as part of the course redesign after a total of 4 kanzenseihas made in SSAS 6. The format of the obstacle is still not revealed during the taping of SSAS C2, due to the fact that nobody reached the Third Stage on that tournament.

However, after the taping of SSAS C2, it seems like the producers have to design this obstacle before the broadcast. On 3 days before the broadcast, the concept design of this obstacle was finally revealed on Discord. It is known that the design is made with ROBLOX Studio instead of Sploder.

The obstacle was notable for being decreased to 10 ledges instead of 11, several changes compared to the previous version include:
 * The first 5 ledges is same to the previous version. But, the 3rd ledge seems to have shortened a bit and with an incline like the Shin-Cliffhanger's 2nd ledge.
 * The opposite of the first 5 ledges were the 2nd wall which consists of 3 ledges. The 3 ledges were basically the same to Shin-Cliffhanger.
 * The opposite of the 2nd wall were the 3rd wall which consists of 2 ledges. The 2 ledges are the same to the 4th and 5th ledge.

Due to the course's extreme difficulty, the obstacle was never attempted until SSAS 8, with Orm Marius being the first and only one to attempt it on that tournament. But he ultimately failed the leap to the 6th ledge.

On SSAS C3, two more competitors attempted this obstacle. But unfortunately, neither one could reach the 6th ledge. But during SSAS 9, the obstacle was finally defeated by Bruce Wayne and Orm Marius. Yet still, another two competitors failed this obstacle at that tournament.

In SSAS 10, it was moved to the third obstacle of the Third Stage. This time, the exact same result as in SSAS 9 occurred, where once again 4 competitors attempted this obstacle but 2 of them (Morimoto Yusuke and Joe Moravsky) failed to complete it. Both two competitors who failed this obstacle were by transition to 9th ledge. At the same time, the obstacle was defeated by:
 * Chu Văn Bản on his first appearance on SSAS, and
 * Bruce Wayne for his second time.
