Wow! Great there's another one and that the Americans seem to be in the mix. I wish it were in the spring so I could attempt to try out and participate.
Good luck to everyone here who makes another go for it! I'm rootin for all the old ANC faves (Stratus, Campbell, Russelis) as well as other board members like me who want to keep the dream alive and pursue a chance at Sasuke!

I'm glad they're doing Sasuke 24 in December. I REALLY hope that doesn't mean this is going to be the last one, though. Sasuke is popular in Japan, though, so why would they cancel it? Are the ratings that bad?

Could be something simple as doing the 2005 formula and just keep going taking advantage of the Sponsorship money that G4 is providing with the licensing of ANW.. remember a lot of this has to do with both ratings and money.. if they feel that they can make money off the Americans with ANW's success (which of course hasn't even aired yet..) then they can milk it for what it's worth. As you remember from 2005.. they had 3 tournaments then went back to 2 a year. Just one of those things.
Also remember that 2010 is Winter Olympics season. That's in March which will spell disaster for any ratings since that is Olympics month.

Dunno. For 2005 they had January, July and then December.. then the following year you waited 10 months for it .. back to October.

If they feel they have momentum I see it going on for more time. I just .. I just really hope it's not the last hurrah.. though the more I think about it.. It does look very much as if they are doing their damnest to avoid the Olympics.

It would be pretty cool (if this is true, that is) if they would have a tournament every 3 months from now on until...well...ever!

They COULD have a tournament in April, seeing as the Olympics will be well over. Keep in mind, there was a Fall 2008 tournament in spite of the Olympics and it was a huge success.

Sorry for the double post, but luckily I speak Engrish so I should be able to translate this.
The 24th SASUKE Decision!
An emergency decision! The 23rd SASUKE was not able to determine the victor between old and new Suddenly we decided to hold the 24th SASUKE in December
New Era All-Stars vs SASUKE All-Stars vs American Hero!
We are recruiting new heroes to break through!
A 3rd challenger will achieve kanzenseiha!
(So by the looks of it only Levi is going)

I just .. I just really hope it's not the last hurrah.. though the more I think about it.. You're scarying me too, mommy...I want a happy fairy tale before goin to sleep...*shudders* seriously, I WANT to think they just want to avoid Olympics, but there's this fact...this tournament is MEANT to have at least one new (or old...and twice...Nagano Makoto...*COUGH*) champion. I hope it's just all drama. And nah, I don't see them having a tournament every 3 months. it would loose it's drama. If there was a Sasuke every day, winning wouldn't be a big thing, no? Trying it every day, tomorrow someone else could do it...and falling wouldn't be much of a damage...I always can try again tomorrow, no? Nah, it wouldn't be interesting anymore.

I highly doubt only Levi would be going for the Americans. By that logic we would also only be seeing the All Stars and New All Stars at Sasuke 24...

Aahahah yeah. I'm sure Nagano is going.. wtf.. again? ahahhahaha
As for only Levi.. I sincerely doubt it though I never thought I'd hear the day when I say that if Levi DOESN'T have a friggin' pass to Sasuke I'd be shocked.. I mean wtf at this point..

i don't know if TBS can invite americans at this point...G4 could consider it as accepting american applications out of the deal, even if they love Levi so much.

Well, it would only be half the time for waiting and double the tournaments!

I'm aware that G4 makes the rules for the american "trials", but I'd assume that TBS pretty much makes the rules as to who TBS/M9 can and cannot invite - and could still invite him regardless =/

Nah they can request G4 to bring him directly like they did in ANC3 and ANC4 (remember Levi didn't have to qualify to go.. he was sent directly)

On ANW I think the three who cleared should get sent back with 5/6 trial spots.
And I just had an idea it could be like another hyper variety week with sasuke around 28/29 December and sportsman no 1 3/4 of January
