Spartan Sasuke Tournament 16

Hosted in March 2019, Spartan Sasuke 16 is the 3rd tournament of season 4 and the first since the total defeat in tournament 15.  Since nobdoy cleared stage 1 in T15, the course was redesigned for T16 to not only be easier but this opened the doors for many classic obstacles to return such as the Dancing Stones, Swing Bridge, Jumping Spider, etc.  Because of these changes many people cleared Stage 1 this tournament.  The first of which is EI Tigre Blanco a newcomer becoming the first newcomer since SaneThe Legend in T3 back in 2016 to clear the 1st Stage.  Aborigines Warrior grand champion CouId Be Better was also able to succeed on Stage 1.  Tournament 16 marks the final appearance of former all-star XxAlfaPumaxX who announced his retirement before going into T16.  He was able to overcome his past failures and clear stage 1 for his first time since T11.  LongShotArrow76 impressed everybody last tournament where he was only 1 of just 2 competitors to complete the 6th obstacle the Rolling Jump, this time he capitalized on his prior success and clear Stage 1 for his first time.  HunterUnit751 nearly cleared Stage 1 but was undone by the new Vehicle Swing.  The remaining clears include Strafe Helix, MightyMax80, Atlantic Champ, DHG Fireball, FlameVortex03, SMOKEY MASSACRE, and ump double ump for a total of 11 stage 1 clears, nearly quadruple the amount of clears in both the previous 2 tournaments combined.  On the 2nd Stage one of the obstacles was the Double Salmon Ladder (back from T8) and proved to be an absolute killer taking out 4 of the 11 competitors including CouId Be Better, MightyMax80, Atlantic Champ, and most shockingly the 2-time champion SMOKEY MASSACRE who never failed Stage 2 until this tournament.  5 of the 11 Stage 1 survivors were able to advance to the 3rd Stage.  XxAlfaPumaxX made it to the 3rd Stage for only his 4th time (first since tournament 7) and would end his Spartan Sasuke carrer on the 3rd obstacle the Sidewinder.  Strafe Helix became the first competitor to beat the Lunatic Cliffhanger since its introduction in T14, he was able to get far but slipped up on the dismount of the Devil's Swing.  DHG Fireball was not able to get quite as far failing the beginning of the Vertical Limit.  FlameVortex03 has never defeated a Cliffhanger on a major jumping course and the curse continues here failing the 2nd of 6 ledges of the Lunatic Cliffhanger.  The last man standing is ump double ump, he made it to the final obstacle the Pinch Climb but slipped off while landing on the 4th ledge ending Tournament 16 right before the Final Stage.
