I have 2 more episodes to go but my thoughts :
Terry Crews was a much better host. They just need a good suitable partner for him.
Tiki and Chris seem bored, have no technical/sports analysis and repeat the same stuff over and over. And glad I am not the only one who thinks Chris is borderline racist.
The Indian and Italian hosts are good though. Good fun which is how it should be.
Stage 4 is awesome.
Points system is much better. And the courses are better overall. Though more variety would be nice.
Point thrusters should be simpler. Big red Sasuke style buzzers.
Glad there is much less of the USA USA USA chanting.
Definitely a much better season overall but still with plenty of room for improvement.
Netflix please make a deal with NBC and TBS to get a few top Ninjas on board for future seasons. And let's have Netherlands in Season 4.

I came across this on Wikia: customsasuke.wikia.com/wiki/Ninja_Warrior_Worldwide_1What is this madness? If it was filmed in 2018 how are there results up? If this is somebody's fake project then why waste so much time going into so much detail for something that will likely get deleted?

Though it's more than just the pressure of a time limit and audience and tv camera that make the brain panic hard, it switching from doing athletic challenges to mental challenges. While I am running the course, I become so tunnel visioned to the point where after I fail, I barely even remember my run. When you get to the brain panic you HAVE to stop and break yourself out of that tunnel vision. I mean, you can literally see my brain switching gears during my run, lol. I saw the math problem and my mind exploded. Took me most of my time on that obstacle just to realise what I was even doing. Do they athletes also have to keep a number passcode in their head through the first part of the course. Doing obstacles whilst trying to remember the number and then have to do a little maths puzzle while not forgetting your other numbers... harder than it looks!

It is virtually impossible. The athletes need to get through the previous obstacles quickly which is doable. But we have seen with Drew that trying to get through ucch as quickly as possible to save stamina for vlk means taking a big gamble on the jumps. If anyone is going to beat the combo they have no choice but to just go all in like Drew has the past 2 years and just pray to get lucky with the height. There is no option to hang around and make sure of the height is just right. Unless they introduce a breather.

You know who was a pain? Patrick Cusic. He claimed to be a superfan and then when the time came for him to get cut he whined and begged and Evan had to save his life in the contest at boot camp by risking his OWN spot to Japan. Then when Patrick goes to Sasuke he goes I believe on the Rolling Escargot. I think he kinda shamed the spirit of Sasuke with that, only to fail Stage 1. Obsolutely a complete and utter little child who never deserved to go to Japan and took an honest spot away from somebody else. Came back a couple of times I think but never made anything happen. For a super fan he didn't want to put the hard graft in. Evan Dollard was wrong to offer himself up but a complete gentleman all the same.

Thanks mate, all working for me now!
Isaac to me looks a little out of shape, at least not ANW shape at the moment.

Basically we are building a database of all the finals results from all competitions. I want to get all time world rankings but figuring out the scoring system is tricky.
Stage 1-3 in Sasuke 34 and ANW 9 were much tougher than the stages in UK, Vietnam, Australia etc but on the other hand they were also tougher than Sasuke 1, ANW 4,etc.
So my thinking now is that the difficulty level is all relative to the level of popularity of the shows, the experience of the athletes, the training available, etc. Therefore all stages from all years from all countries should rate the same as comparing say the speeds of Usain Bolt to Jessie Owens or Allan Wells is less relevant than the medals they picked up at the time?
How would you guys do the ratings?

There's 2 vids of Caldiero on the site, can anyone get them to work? I have tried Firefox and Edge on pc and Chrome on mobile but they just won't work for me. Country IP issue or crappy website?

Both of these along with quintuple steps and warped wall are synonymous with Sasuke. Don't mess with them, there are dozens of other obstacles that can be switched but you have to have the classics.

Hey guys,
I am looking for a definitive list of the stage formats from all the Sasuke and Ninja Warrior competitions around the world (canceled ones included).
Is there one anywhere?
Cheers

This looks good, hope they sorted the rules out this time though!

Charlie Andrews if he can get back to fitness.
Sean Bryan I think could go all the way if he works on one or two little things.
Adam Rayl has done brilliantly in the short form game but we are yet to see if he has the endurance and grip to handle S3.
Barclay Stockett is a little powerhouse. When I saw her first ever run I thought wow, this could be the first ever female ninja warrior.

Hmmm tough call. I think I would be boring and make sure the unstable bridge is after it. Some things are so iconic they shouldn't be messed with!

Sasukepedia seems awfully limited. You guys have really done an amazing job of populating it with an extreme amount of data but user friendliness is severely lacking. We are certainly looking at how we can get everything and more into Worldninjas.com while providing a much better experience so if it is ok we'll be asking for you guys feedback once the time is right.
At the moment we are working on the automated database for finals runs so inputting results on one page will generate a potentially infinite amount of tables, pages, profiles etc. This is going very well.
How we add the qualifying results to the mix though will be tough. Do we add this to the database or do we just have separate pages for each qualifying episode from every competition. Probably the latter.
