It will be interesting to see if Levi, David C and of course the awesome duo of Olivia and Kevin will be going in addition to the 10.

I'm still not sure about the 10 to Japan being all in Sasuke. Just something doesn't seem right.. again could be but just doesn't seem at all correct to me. That said.. I'm finding this news really really bad.. they are asking for actors now since the site that they used is an open call. ANW is going to be an interesting fiasco. I feel bad for you guys going through the process.. it's no longer about a competition.. it's "I WANT TO BE ON TV!!!".. /sigh.. whatever..

I feel bad for you guys going through the process.. it's no longer about a competition.. it's "I WANT TO BE ON TV!!!".. /sigh.. whatever.. I agree. I just have a competitive nature. Naturally the Cameras being there increase how much more you want to compete, but to me... It's just a competition I want on. But why am I saying this, you all know that... But I talked to ChrisKetchum. Asked him if he wanted the honors of posting it on the G4 forums first, but he said he forgot his account information so it's fair-game for whoever wants to post it. I would just recommend giving credit where credit is due

Just a thought here...IF 10 people from the G4 trails go to Japan then would that replace the 8 trialists in Japan? Would TBS even hold a SASUKE trials in Japan? This could really turn out bad folks...

I'm figuring the 10 would do a Sasuke Trials on the course the Japanese did. Just my thought is all. I'm having a really hard time believing 10 new people + Levi and Kevin are going to comprise more than 10% of all Sasuke entrants.

According to the OP, it just says that a team of 10 will fly to Japan, not a team of 10 will compete in Japan. Maybe they will make a special out of the days, with the 10 being the main focus. Only the best will go and compete and the rest will be shown as moral support and train with some of the all-stars. Just my thoughts

Just my thoughts I can't see G4 taking all 10+ people to Japan if they aren't ging to compete. It's either all compete in SASUKE 23 or on a trials course as Arsenette sugested.

^^ Ya , but I have a hard time believing that who ever is in charge in Japan can think that giving 10% of the competition to Americans can be good for ratings. But then again, the wording DOES imply that 10 people will be competing.

I think if 10 are flying to Japan, they are all competing. I mean come on let's say only 5 that flew to Japan can be selected to compete after they try their best in a so called "Trials" over there. The other 5 that don't qualify would be there for the actual tournament too, it just sucks big time watching the whole thing and not being able to compete when you know you screwed up at the trials the other day. Plus your friends get to so yeah, not a bad thing at all I can just tell G4 wouldn't do that to the other half of their qualifiers.

Wait.. So, if for some reason 10 are going to Japan from the trials. What happened to the whole 'making a video' thing?

That's for the ANW show which to my knowledge the "10" was supposed to be for.. which is why I'm still going with the 10 to a Trials thing. Not the Open call. Again. I sound like a broken record (for ya'll youngen who have never seen an LP.. bite me .. ehem.. anyway..).. If they do a Japan thing it will be for a trials. And yes it would suck to get all the way the hell over there and not compete. Then again.. Brett supposedly had that happen only to be invited to the course.. so who knows at this point. If anyone hears anymore clarification feel free to post here. We'd love to put that sucker to rest ETA: I am also curious how the Video submissions will figure into this. I am thinking if they DON'T pick your video you still have another chance to go to open tryout. Thoughts on that?

It says you can just show up at 7am, but you won't be guaranteed a spot without a vid or letter.
They wouldn't waste all that money sending 10 over there if they weren't going on the show.
It will be ok though, the weaker American runs will likely be cut from Japanese brodcast, but still be shown on Ninja Warrior and some of the duller Japanese runs will be cut from ninja warrior but still be shown on sasuke. All in all it's just more total footage for us to watch.

I think there are good. And bad points to this
Good is that people like startis and ruseslis (sp?) will finally get a chance and people like colin, mark and of course the dude who posted above this will get another chance
Bad. With it being open tryout someone who doesn't know what sasuke or ninja warrior is and go to japan There's the obivous that ten are going to japan that's 5 more then what should be If they all get shown then it could cause the ratings to nosedive and it could lead to the end of sasuke

I guarentee that all 10 ten American runs will NOT be shown. Someone will be all cut and then we'll have to wait or ask them how they did. TBS usually just digests most of their trial guys.

I am also curious how the Video submissions will figure into this. I am thinking if they DON'T pick your video you still have another chance to go to open tryout. Thoughts on that? All I know is that the video/tryout thing is guaranteed to piss off a bunch of folks. I mean, why go to the effort of producing a video when you can just show up at the tryout and take your chances? "Oh, you already made your video? Too bad" Anyway, best of luck to everybody who tries, whether by video or tryout. Sounds like its going to be interesting. I sure hope I'm able to see both the TBS broadcast and the G4 broadcast. They'll probably be more divergent than ever!

If they're ten Americans, their numbers will probably be in order. ex. 54,55,56,57,58,59,60 I think that most of the Americans will be fast forwards. One full run, 4 FF, Two full Runs, 3 FF
