Well, Meesta America has been consistently making it deep into the course since his first appearance. Now, the question is, Will Levi Meeuwenberg ever become a SASUKE all-star? and what will it take for him to become one?

what will it take for him to become one? A rip in the space-time continuum and Japanese parents.

He'll probably become a staple in the American team and maybe considered an American All-Star (different from the All-Stars we've come to know) or at the very least an American Elite.
... Unless David Campbell beats him to it!
Campbell for Sasuke 24!!! Campbell for Sasuke 24!!! Campbell for Sasuke 24!!!

I can see him being part of the "New Stars" label along with Kanno, Yuuji, and maybe Lee. I would say Okuyama too based on performance, but he's almost 40.

what scnoi said. But I would add Brian O. if he gets a good performance in 24(deep in 3rd Stage).

He'll always be a leader of the Americans that participate. They won't make him part of a stable with Japanese competitors.

L... M.. .F.. A.. O...... Seriously.. I get tired of these "who's the next All-star" polls... I echo that sentiment. Enough already with who's going to be the next All-Star. There won't be another one. Clearly there are people here that want to see the real All-Stars go. Or just be replaced. It won't happen. They won't be replaced. Give it up. Even after they leave, they will still be the true All-Stars. And to answer the poll question, no.

And...well, to be entirely honest, Levi hasn't been improving since his first performance in 20. Surprising fail on Salmon Ladder in 21, (not so surprising) fall from Slider Jump in 22, and (wtf) fail on the 1st to 2nd ledge of the Cliffhanger in 23. I'm not saying he's doing badly; obviously 3 passes out of 4 for the First Stage is amazing, but it still affects TBS's perception of him that his best performance was his first.

I agree. 20 was clearly his best performance (not because he was the only one left standing, but because of him getting farther on the CH than he did in 23).
Next time (if there is a next time for him), he should at the least avoid putting his hands on top of each other during the CH. I wonder if he does this when he practices?

It was obviously a mental mistake and you could see him saying oh s*** right when it happend (not literally but his faced said it all)

Yea, he was rushing that's all, similar to Nagasaki in 16. It was a simple lapse in concentration which cost him.

He's only been there for 4 tournaments. Yes, he's done very well, but he's gonna have to beat the Cliffhanger for me to think he's got a snowballs chance at being an All-Star. And from there, he'll need to participate in at least another 5-6 tournaments for him to be seen as a regular. Don't forget, being an All-Star doesn't just mean you're more famous-a competitor than most others, but that you are an official 'Face' of Sasuke, and are practically required to attend events in Japan to promote the show.
He's done darn well, and truly deserves credit. Never knocked him for how he's done. But he's got a far better shot being a "New"-star than an All-Star. And he deserves that.

no offense, but Levi becoming an all-star is as likely as Nagano winning the next American Ninja Challenge...it ain't gonna happen

Levi becoming an all-star is as likely a** Ube kissing Mr. Sasuke's ***. I like mine a bit more. edit: WHOOPS! Thought that'd be censored.

I didn't even know Yamada/Nagano (Whoever has the title now) even had a donkey.... Wait.. not that kind... Oh.... XD But anyways.. I don't think Levi could officially be an all-star, I mean he would technically be considered one of the new stars group (and out of that group if it exists both the non-japanese are the only two never to pass the Shin Cliffhanger in competition) but they've never been officially made a group and that seems to be more of a fan made group

Somehow I doubt it. They haven't announced new all stars since Shiratori (was that in 14?) and I doubt they're going to do so now. I do, however, agree with the idea that he may be put into the New Heroes category, like a second generation of All-Stars.
