Laughing at the ridiculous spoilerific trailer they just put out.. I mean seriously.. for those who wanted to stay spoilerfree they didn't even have to wait this long.. G4 screwed it up already for them. And again.. it's sans the Americans so again 150 countries continue to think that the Americans don't even participate in this anymore.

It's not THAT bad imo. They mix a lot of older clips, it's pretty short, and granted you hadn't seen 27 before you wouldn't really know what is going on.

I mean it looks nice, but anyone who pays even a moment of attention can distinguish older clips from clips they haven't seen before. Plus, I wonder how many will complain about G4 telling you someone wins, a couple people were complaining about TBS doing it during their commercial and Navi (this should be a safe comment, it's clearly noted in the original post that the video is spoilerific.)

Saying that there are spoilers is not spoiling anything. IDK, the video does have old clips in it, and it's hard to notice which clips are from 23-26 or 27. Sure, WE notice which ones are and which ones aren't, but it's not like they are hiding a lot.

My message to G4 editors.
Hey idiots, if you want us to enjoy watching your watered down broadcast, you have to at least TRY and be secret about who makes it far. You don't have to be a super genius with an IQ that looks like a telephone number to see who that is standing at the end platform of the 3rd Stage. How many times do I have to.... AARRGH!!!
Just get me a gun.
No, just "Oh brother"

It's not even near the spoilers we got from the much shorter tbs version.

Considering that the ones who are anxious about the NW version are the ones that never watched or will watch the TBS version.. this is something that pissed them off before. It's the "we waited this long to support G4" crowd that's getting hosed. Those of us who saw it back in October could care less. As for "what TBS showed".. they never showed the person going up the rope in detail.. only G4 does that.. or did you forget the Nagano ladder incident? LOL That was 100% G4

Logically you'd think it'd be in the NW section Here... But yeah there were some older clips but it was mostly 27, you don't have to be a superfan like us to tell how much they spoiled... I mean TBS still was all "someone wins" and G4's is like "Yuuji wins, see ya"

LMFAO Rider.. yep that's it I only knew there was a video up when I got my email open.. most of the international kids that have to wait for this show have been asking me for months when this sucker was going on the air in the USA because they have to wait until THAT happens before they see it.. IF they see it. (remember.. most countries don't even buy the ANW-linked tourneys of which this is one of them). They did what they could to avoid spoilers and then they found this and lost their marbles. Again I had to tell them this is par for the course but right now they are seeing red. .. I tried to warn them..

The average fan won't be spoiled, just saying. (From the video alone) The average fan isn't going to be able to easily tell which clip is from what tourney. They arn't going to watch the commercial 100 times trying to disect the details, etc.
Superfans on this site who waited will be spoiled, yes.
Some of the clips were... yeah, but it wasn't as horrible as the first post made it seem.

So you are saying dozens that emailed me from abroad that have been spoilerfree since August when ANW3 aired the first 10 results are somehow blind?

That's obviously not the average fan if they're emailing you.

That's obviously not the average fan if they're emailing you. You made a generalized statement that the average fan won't be spoiled based on nothing but assumption. Who the hell knows if they are or not 'average'. Why the semantics argument? Several dozen emails from different people around the world not connected to each other were peeved they were spoiled by G4 in a promotional video aimed at getting people to watch NW27 in March.. who are any of us to argue their status in "fandom"? Fact remains.. people who waited this long got spoiled watching that one promotional video. Is it new? No. Most of us here in SMF have seen G4 do it in every tournament leading up to Ninjafest and even within the broadcast they spoil runs before the commercial break. This should come as no surprise. Arguing over status of their fandom and whether or not they are from SMF (which I know for a fact they are not) is irrelavant to the fact that G4 just did what they have been doing for several years. No amount of arguing changes that.

Arsenette, all I argued was that the average fan most likely wouldn't be spoiled by it. If a fan even knows about your blog I wouldn't classify them as "average". I'm talking of the people who only watch it on G4, or the usual people you'd see on the FB page. I never said that "no one" would be spoiled by it; the most I said was your original post in my opinion was a slight exaggeration.
