Questions for Sasuke 23

[lars072]

Man, I am getting really anxious to see Sasuke 23 (although I say that every time). This could be a BIG competition as we know the show could end at any time. Here are some burning Qs on my mind right now...

1. When is the airing date?
2. Can Yuuji repeat his perforance of Sasuke 22?
3. Can Nagano get back to stage 3 and beyond?
4. What changes will be made to the course, especially stage 2?
5. How many people will fail the Slider Jump this time around?
6. How many G4 'ninja warriors' will compete?
7. Will we finally see Shunsuke this time?
8. Will TBS/M9 make any other big changes or will it be the status quo?
9. Who will or will not be there for SASUKE 23?
10. Will SASUKE continue for many years or will #23 be the beginning of the end?

1-5 is "dunno"
6 is "dunno" until at the earliest late August after their tryout thingie whenever THAT is
7 is "dunno" since no one is posting anything on their websites since M9 doesn't even know yet the date to Sasuke 23 (to my knowledge of course) - write to M9 asking if he's going to be invited this time mwahahahah seriously.. Emailing them and showing he's popular might force an invite this time!
8 - dunno
9 - see number 7
10 - dunno.. pray for better ratings.

im going to take this a prediction thread, and guess

1. When is the airing date? - September 15th (tuesday)
2. Can Yuuji repeat his perforance of Sasuke 22? No
3. Can Nagano get back to stage 3 and beyond? No, wall lift timeout
4. What changes will be made to the course, especially stage 2? yes sirry, there will be a big surprise in stage 1, a slight time cut in stage 2 and a new obstacle that doesnt do much... at all.
5. How many people will fail the Slider Jump this time around? 30+
6. How many G4 'ninja warriors' will compete? 5
7. Will we finally see Shunsuke this time? Nope sorry.
8. Will TBS/M9 make any other big changes or will it be the status quo? prob not, but i think we'll see a circle hammer replacement that'll pretty much be rolling log 2.0, the effect that is.
9. Who will or will not be there for SASUKE 23? around 400 humans, 3 dogs and a monkey, his name is craigumi-san
10. Will SASUKE continue for many years or will #23 be the beginning of the end? depends on how long you want the end to take. if you want it around 12-14 yrs, then sumthin like sasuke 2 or 3 would have been.

It'll end on the next win.


___________________________________________________

i feel like i should put more serious answers:


1. When is the airing date? Probably second or third tuesday of september
2. Can Yuuji repeat his perforance of Sasuke 22? Yes, but i dont think he will
3. Can Nagano get back to stage 3 and beyond? Ofcourse he can, but i think he wont get to stage 3 until sasuke 25 honestly

5. How many people will fail the Slider Jump this time around? 15-29
6. How many G4 'ninja warriors' will compete? 9+Kevin (including Levi)
7. Will we finally see Shunsuke this time? No, to see when he comes back, reffer to when Nagano gets baack to stage 3
8. Will TBS/M9 make any other big changes or will it be the status quo? Such as...? Prob the norm, maybe a few more comedians...
9. Who will or will not be there for SASUKE 23? Humans, probably 102 competitors + living props (animals)+ family and friends
10. Will SASUKE continue for many years or will #23 be the beginning of the end? Depends on the next win.

I can't see them changing stage 1 although adding more time would be welcome. Stage 2 will be modified I'm sure, and maybe the final stage after Yuuji's performance.

5. I doubt that 30 peole will fail the Slider Jump. Only 22 people attempted it in Sasuke 22! I think that 15 will fail the Slider Jump out of 26 or 27 competitors.

8. The Rolling Log 2.0 has already been created. The Sandan Rolling Maruta sound familier?? The producers won't put two hard log obstacles in the same stage. I'm crossing my fingers for another bridge obstacle.

1. Dunno hopefully a weekend
2. Yes but won't be as close
3. He might make the third stage but I think he will fail the second
4. Steps. Hammer. Swing ladder and arm rings are gone. Not sure what will replace them
5. Not as many as 22 but maybe a few big names ( shingo bunpei takakasa if he's there)
6. Hopefully not 10 but that's what I think. I hope it's 5( David(hopefully) Levi 2 newbies and kevin)
7 Yes he's going to the final
8. It will be like what it was until 22 ( numbers in order. Tbs you are not g4)
9 all all-stars there. nagasaki's there. PAT there the five who cleared there. Uncli all there ( thanks to yuuji). Miyazaki not sure.
10. I agree with blind when someone wins it will end

chack, i said the effect of,

ie, it takes out alot of people nd it comes as a big surprise.

[scnoi1217]

My guesses:

1. Probably on a Monday in the middle of September, maybe the 21st.
2. Highly doubtful. It's very hard for people to match their success from a tournament before, especially one where he got that close to winning.
3. Yes, definitely. His best days may be behind him, but he's still really, really good.
4. No changes besides Stage 2. Two new obstacles and a time cut will happen in Stage 2. Everything stays exactly the same.
5. About the same as 22, but different people than last time.
6. I'm hoping about 4. I hope not 10.
7. Honestly, I don't think so. Would be nice though.
8. Probably similar to SASUKE 22.
9. All 6 all-stars, uncli, many muscle musical members, the five who cleared, maybe more sasuke qualifiers, no miyazaki, no nagasakis
10. It will end on the next win, which could very well be SASUKE 23.
10.

[Homeslice]

1) I don't know.
2) I don't think so.
3) I think so.
4) Not too many changes; the Circle Hammer might go (Stage 1). I will be shocked if they don't remove the Swing Ladder from Stage 2.
5) Hard to say, but at least a dozen, possibly.
6) No more than 4 (including Levi and David), I hope.
7) I'm afraid not.
8) Probably not.
9) Seriously? I couldn't tell you all THAT.
10) Again, hard to say. I think SASUKE is on its last legs and this will be the start of the last few tournaments left.

[obakemono]

1. When is the airing date?
Um. September?

2. Can Yuuji repeat his perforance of Sasuke 22?
If he can get back to the third stage, most probably, but that's a big if.

3. Can Nagano get back to stage 3 and beyond?
Of course he can, but we'll have to see if he does...

4. What changes will be made to the course, especially stage 2?
Not many. Maybe one obstacle in each of stage one and three, but probably quite a bit of difference in stage two, including a stricter time limit.

5. How many people will fail the Slider Jump this time around?
Probably around the same number.

6. How many G4 'ninja warriors' will compete?
4-5. Or 10. Probably the former.

7. Will we finally see Shunsuke this time?
Hopefully.

8. Will TBS/M9 make any other big changes or will it be the status quo?
It'll be business as usual.

9. Who will or will not be there for SASUKE 23?
Pass.

10. Will SASUKE continue for many years or will #23 be the beginning of the end?
I think there are certainly a few more left.

[The Chief]

1. When is the airing date?

Mid August-October

2. Can Yuuji repeat his perforance of Sasuke 22?

No, he's good, but he did too good.

3. Can Nagano get back to stage 3 and beyond?

Yes, Nagano can definitely make it to Stage 3. However, it will depend on if he makes any mistakes.

4. What changes will be made to the course, especially stage 2?

Swing Ladder gone, Stage 1 might have a change, epically with the Circle Hammer.

5. How many people will fail the Slider Jump this time around?

At least 15...

6. How many G4 'ninja warriors' will compete?

4

7. Will we finally see Shunsuke this time?

I hope so

8. Will TBS/M9 make any other big changes or will it be the status quo?

well, considering the increase in rating, I'd say that they'd keep the Sunday slot, so, status quo.

9. Who will or will not be there for SASUKE 23?

All-Stars will be there...Yuuji...other than that...idk

10. Will SASUKE continue for many years or will #23 be the beginning of the end?

the former.
