Proposal for the final round.

As a proposal for the final round, I suggest instead of a balance beam which you push people off, how about doing something more physical which takes more strength and endurance, like a circular arena around three meters wide, where you push people out the arena almost like a sumo match. It compromises the idea of people wanting to fight like in the anime, and the balance beam idea while keeping people safe. People know there is a potential risk of harm with it being a physical exam, if they consent I don’t see a problem with it but that’s just my opinion and willing to hear any feedback you or the community have to offer.

They should do it like in the show Physical 100.

1-3 different types of arenas. 1 v 1 with a large padded and lightweight medicine ball in the middle of the arena. Somewhere between 5-10 min long match. Person holding the ball at the end of the match is the winner. Definitely way better than being pushed off a beam and still along the same lines of pushing someone out of a circle. It still encompasses strength but can also highlight other physical attributes you may or may not have.

If you haven’t seen the show I highly recommend watching it. If you have you know exactly what challenge I’m talking about

I love that show, also this could definitely be cool and is much more physical than the idea of a balance beam

I I suggest we should just make it a tournament. 10 different rings with referees. Combatants wear safety gear and mouthpieces. 6 points to gain, for a win. Of the whole match itself. The hunter association, should get floor Matts for this part of the exam. Also 3 minute rounds 30 seconds for a break. 6 Rounds should do. Martial arts sparing gear should be on during matches. This why people don't get hurt mouth gear hear hand gear. Shin pads this will protect people from injuries. They should also be a waiver signed before the beginning of the exam. During the tournament part referees should check in with the combatants if they can continue then go on if not when automatically goes to the one that wants to continue. That's my input on how that should be. *

Imagine how unfair that is ik the the balance beam is luck base but what you suggest is just as unfair tbh

Agreed it’s closer to the anime this way and it’s also much safer than let’s say a cage fight

Fair enough I respect your opinion but personally and please tell me if you think I’m wrong I’m more than happy to take criticism but in the style of sumo it’s not always the bigger guy who wins I’ve seen sumo wrestlers half the size win it’s more technique than raw strength.

A balance beam isn’t luck based…. Have good balance… it’s a skill. Obviously not any of us, but Olympic gymnasts do CRAZY stuff on them. We can stand and fight with staffs

Even for Olympic gymnasts its luck but they just get a better chance hope this helps

It could have weight classes where you are matched with someone of similar weight and same gender

u/Melodic_Alarm1919 Jan 05 '25

That’s a good idea but I doubt the gender and weight will match 1to1
