I am the master of doing good, but not quite good enough at this game. I've only been in one of these where I wasn't somewhere from 5th to 10th I think.
Still though, I'll take 7th.

I don't know about you guys, but my biggest complaint about Shin-Sasuke/26 was how big and long the course became. If anything, I would want the course to get shorter and more simple in nature.
Stage 1:
Step Slider Rolling Escargot (27 Version) Giant Swing (27 Version, longer jump to the end though) Jump Hang (13 Version) Spin Bridge (VIKING Version) Soritatsu Kabe Circle Slider (25 Version) Tarzan Rope + Rope Climb
Time Limit: 100 Seconds
Stage 2:
Slider Drop Double Salmon Ladder + Flying Bar Tank Drop (Similar to what everyone else has said) Metal Spin Wall Lifting
Time Limit: 85 Seconds
Stage 3:
Roulette Cylinder (26 Version) Body Prop Floating Boards Curtain Cling Ascending Globe Grasp Chain See-Saw Double Devil Balanco + Pipe Slider (17 Version)
Final Stage:
Steel Ladder (10m) + Tsuna Nobori (12.5m)
Time Limit: 35 Seconds

Even Nagano makes mistakes that cost him in stage one. That's one of the best aspects about this stuff. It's totally unpredictable. That's a fair point, but I feel one can at least attribute Nagano's various failures to a lack of prior experience or tweaking to the obstacle in question. When the course is by and large entirely familiar, Nagano clears essentially every time. This development, however, just doesn't make sense. Unless there's something in the mix that we're not yet aware of, I would argue that this is an easier first stage than the one in 27. I just can't fathom that he would have gone out on this first stage at all. I guess this is a shocking bit of news, eh?

3 of the northeast competitors cleared, but there were a lot of fails in stage 1, LiveWire and even David Campbell failed stage 1 (My source says they didn't pass the Spin Bridge so I assume they failed there). This I have a really hard time believing. Unless the time limit was especially strict, I just can't see there being "a lot of fails" in Stage 1. How could 9 of 10 pass in Japan and then come back and have bad results on virtually the exact same stage?
Plus, what are the chances of David failing that first stage? I mean, I guess it's possible, but when he beat it so effortlessly at 27, it's just kinda inconceivable, ya know?
Everything else you said, however, I can believe. Sucks about Strat.

The guy who put up that other video put up another one, this one has spoilers, stage 2 And that rumor appears to be false So... That's Brent Steffensen, right? Beyond looking like him and the slight apprehension before the Metal Spin, I'm pretty sure you could hear someone yell: "C'mon Brent!"
Seemed like the crowd was having fun too.

In addition to the ones watchingtv posted, they showed Kato Ryouma's run as well.
The only notable thing that happened during his run was his transition on the Double Salmon Ladder. He did a weird little maneuver when crossing and actually went down a rung.
All told, he had more than enough time to clear the stage if he would've passed the Metal Spin. Needless to say, Ryouma on the Third Stage would've been really cool to watch.

Iketani's first stage run and either of Morimoto's runs.
Also, I'm sad that we will never get to see Travis Furlanic's first stage run. You'd think with a clear time of 43 seconds that he would get on one of the broadcasts.

I would actually give the #1 slot to Takahashi, I think he fits the bill with his performance of late. Also, it might not be in their best interest to do this, but I could see a returning Brian Orosco as #1.
For my Top 11, it looks like this:
#100: Urushihara #99: Nagano #98: Matachi (I'm confident this is how it would shake out from here.) #97: Ishikawa (Remember how M9 freaked out when Sato passed the First Stage and gave him #98? Kinda like that.) #96: Hashimoto (UCH Clear. Yep.) #95: Wakky (Again, M9 was just waiting for this guy to do something. They gave 'em #97 when he was completely unproven, they won't mind giving him #95 here) #94: Campbell (They still love him) #93: Kasemir (I think Paul is legitimately the second best competitor to come out of ANW so far. And it seems like M9 likes him enough) #92: Takeda/Sato Hiromichi/Levi (Completely dependent on who's there. Ranked by priority) #91: Okuyama (I know this seems low, but to me, Okuyama was all but a non-factor in 27. Not much to say here) #90: En Zhi (Shocking failure last time, but you can't deny his accomplishments)
And finally, the notable "Lost in the shuffle" guys:
Iketani Naoki (#88) James McGrath (#85) Kanno Hitoshi (#83) Takahashi Kenji/Brian Orosco (#81) Yamada Katsumi (#80) Ryan Stratis (#78) Yamamoto Shingo (#75) Tajima Naoya (#73) (Bringing back the magic of SASUKE 24) Kazuma Asa (#72) Morikami Daisuke (#65) Nakayama Kinnikun (#47) Takahashi Kenji/Brian Orosco (#1)
EDIT: I just realized it probably won't be M9 doling out the numbers if there is a next time. Oh well.

Stage 1:
1. Step Slider 2. Rolling Escargot (27 version) 3. Circle Slider (17 version) 4. Jumping Spider (26 version) 5. Spin Bridge 6. Soritatsu Kabe 7. Tarzan Rope + Rope Climb
Time Limit: 90 Seconds
(I'm a fan of a quick First Stage. I adored everything about 27's First Stage... except for its absolutely ridiculous time limit. The Jumping Spider and the Time Limit should be the killers here.)
Stage 2:
1. Slider Drop 2. Double Salmon Ladder + 3. Unstable Bridge 4. Balance Tank (Pre-Shin Sasuke version) 5. Metal Spin (27 version) 6. Wall Lift
Time Limit: 80 Seconds
(I really like the second stage set-up right now. My only gripe is that I think the Balance Tank is still too short.)
Stage 3:
1. Rumbling Dice 2. Body Prop 3. Floating Boards 4. Curtain Cling 5. Chain See-Saw (3 sets) 6. Flying Bar (2 jumps) + 7. Pipe Slider (17 version)
(I really don't like the Cliff Hanger at all anymore. Never been a fan of the huge combination of obstacles at the end of this stage. Every obstacle should be failable, but the Third Stage should also be gettable for everyone as well.)
Final Stage:
1. Steel Ladder (12.5m) 2. Tsuna Nobori (10m)
Time Limit: 35 Seconds

I'm starting to not want the Cliff Hanger back in any capacity. If one looks at 25's Third Stage, it wouldn't have been totally less formidable without the UCH. Assuming a creative obstacle was in its place of course.
M9 seems to forget that they have a bevy of fantastic obstacles in their arsenal from previous tournaments.
Make the Roulette Cylinder its own obstacle, bring back the Body Prop, etc. etc. All I want is for M9 to be a little bit more creative than simply thinking "Let's let the Cliff Hanger do all the dirty work."

Any of the people mentioned here either have, or definitely can, make it to boot camp and beyond. But there are soo many lesser known names out there that are incredibly strong too. Look at who made it to boot camp in ANW3. Drew, Flip, Rosen, Wilczewski, McGrath, Douglass, etc. all were pretty unheard of at the time (depending on if you watched Jump City or followed the ANW1 and ANW2 semis or whatever). I predict at ANW4 boot camp + Japan we'll see about half returning vets and half completely new folks. Plus there's all the people who weren't old enough for ANW3 but now are. I'll be excited to see what happens. While I agree with that in theory, I don't think it will be an even split amongst old and new. Reason being is that I think the competitors who made it to Japan last time were a good portion of the cream of the American crop. I fully expect 6, 7, maybe even 8 ANW3 guys to go back for ANW4. The only ones I have serious doubt about are Jake Smith and Drew Dreschel. I feel everyone else can all but cruise through Boot Camp if they were to get there.

Well, Just because it's his pub doesn't mean he's throwing the party, It just means that's where they all decided to hold Yuuji's party I just assumed Kuramochi was behind it because there's almost no one else is in the place besides the afforementioned guests.

I assumed they had the party at kuramochi's shop. OK, that makes good sense. Cool of Kuramochi to throw the party then.

Sorry, I don't think flip even has a chance of beating the UCH. Just because he beat the super easy version at boot camp doesn't mean anything. When I say he would give it a "run for its money," I'm not saying he would clear it. Remember, I'm the guy who still questions whether or not Li En Zhi can complete the UCH. That message was more of an appeal to the potential of Young Flip, which I think could be quite large, especially for someone who is strictly a Freerunner. I don't care if the ledges were 4 inches wide, that's still a big a** Cliff Hanger. I like to consider myself pretty able for most challenges, but I know I'd have no chance in Hell of defeating that thing, Boot Camp or otherwise. Now, was it nerfed in Boot Camp? No doubt. But let's not totally discredit Young Flip because of that. I'm reserving judgment until we see him on the real thing.

Post by ansem120 on Nov 7, 2011 13:13:49 GMT -5
I think Young Flip's the real deal. Once he got to Boot Camp, he had no troubles whatsoever. I hate that he failed the Slider Drop, because I really think he could've given the UCH a run for it's money.
Also, for whatever it's worth, I also think we're going to see a big name fail one of the first 2 rounds before Boot Camp. (I'm thinking either Travis F. or Brent) Just a hunch.

Li is the real deal, he absolutely would have made it to and beat the UHC and continued to the 4th with ease. I'm not doubting that, I know Li is absolutely incredible. Hell, Li's my favorite SASUKE competitor not named Akira Omori. I want to see him defeat the entire course very badly. I'm just being realistic, I don't think he can beat the Final Stage right now as long as a form of rope climbing is in the mix. Also, I'm sure you've gotten this many times, but great job with SASUKE 27 James. Best of luck in ANW4 man.
