There will be a 4-nation competition this year: Germany vs Japan vs Spain vs USA.
Don't know yet when it will air, but it will be after the conclusion of the regular comp, which, I believe, should be in one month from now.
It will air on 16 Nov. According to what the commentators said, Isaac Caldiero and Jessie Graff will be part of Team USA.
For those who can't watch: I'll record it and then see if I can share it with you, but it'll be at the earliest in the first days of December
Team USA: Drew, Flip, Jamie, Isaac, Jessie Graff, Tiana Team Japan: Yusuke, Tomohiro, Tada, Hioki, Jun, Ayano Spain I have no clue considering season 3 of Ninja Warrior Spain is like a ghost and Team Germany would spoil results of the Grand Final this coming Friday so I won't go in depth.

Max Prinz (20), sports climber from Hannover
He's my favorite for LNS 2019. Unbelievable body control and Stages 2 + 3 suit to his strengths. However, the make-or-break point could again be the Hourglass Drop on Stage 2 if it's still there.

man and I thought Asia in the last USA vs the World was horrible... JAPAN HEAVEN'S SAKE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! IKR. Also, was this the first Vs. the World Special to actually change obstacles, since I don't recall seeing stuff like the Time Bomb or the Deja Vu on the regular season? If they did this intentionally, this was just way too overkill.

If they did this intentionally, this was just way too overkill. Yeah Germany change their obstacles for their international special - did the same last year too. All obstacle changes: 1.1 Quintuple Steps -> Quadruple Steps 1.2 Pipe Fitter -> Rail Runner 1.3 Block Run -> Spinning Bridge 1.7 Spinning Bridge -> Big Dipper to Wheel 1.8 Removed 2nd Cane so 180° transition needed 1.9 Spider Trap -> Chimney Climb 2.1 Final Broken Bridge removed - leaving just 4 2.4 Leaps of Faith -> Captain's Wheel 3.1 Floating Boards were tilted slightly to increase difficulty 3.5 Added Time Bomb after Peg Cloud 3.6 Flying Bar -> Deja Vu To be fair, I don't think the changes altered difficulty that much. Stage 1 was a little harder, Stage 2 a little easier, Stage 3's kaizo Flying Bar was removed only to be replaced by Time Bomb and Deja Vu - but then again the competitors didn't have to go straight on from Stage 2 like in the regular season. Overall I think the changes were pretty balanced, just a shame Japan was eliminated before the stage where they can truly shine.

I was really surprised Issac Caldiero made his first appearance in an international competition, teaming up with Drew and Jessie Graff and the others.
Are there any videos of their runs?

Jesus, I only just read this, but Japan's showing was ABYSMAL. I honestly don't understand why they always choke in international competition. Is it nerves? We see in Sasuke they are more than capable of clearing this calibre of courses. I just don't get it.

We see in Sasuke they are more than capable of clearing this calibre of courses. I just don't get it. They aren't, actually. In interviews and fluff pieces Jun and Hioki both said Japan would likely struggle because they haven't touched almost any of these obstacles before, whereas Germany, America, and Spain have. They're Ninja Warrior shows, not SASUKE shows. There's been a real difference lately. SASUKE hasn't upped the difficulty of Stages 1 and 2 in forever to make it tough for the top competitors, and definitely don't use the same obstacles. Stages 3 and 4 are some of the toughest there is right now, but to GET to another Stage 3 they have to go through 2 stages of foreign obstacles to them. It sucks, but as long as SASUKE doesn't evolve its courses, the Japanese will always choke Ninja Warrior courses.

Are there any videos of their runs? If you change your IP address to Germany with a VPN, you can watch all episodes of Ninja Warrior Germany on the official platform TVNOW. The episodes that were broadcasted in the last 30 days are free. The rest is for premium users. (But even these you can download with ease.) The episode of the 4 Nations Special is currently still free for everyone.
