I think the basis of my original thread was what G4 was going to do .. if they were doing automatic invites or if they were doing another ANW. I guess it kinda turned into a what people want for the next ANW. Oh well.. doesn't matter Carry on

Maybe something smaller seeing as how they have less time to get permits and set everything up, but at least a competition of some sort. That way people who had small little errors last time can redeem themselves (people who have a great shot of doing well).

Very much agreed. I like the concept of the competition but you have to admit having gone through it .. it really needs tweaking.. a LOT of it.. anyway.. My hope is have some invites based on previous Sasuke experience (so we have some auto invites.. I'm still very adamant about those irregardless if they are American or not) + new guys but still hoping it's not 10 like the last time.

The things I would change off the top of my head (and trying not to spill any beans): - No open casting (I don't think anyone that made it to even the semis was an "open" entrant) - More upper body strength obstacles, maybe even Cliffhanger v1 - A set time limit I have to disagree about sending 10 though. I think it's great and only adds to the show with more potential clears.

I don't know why I don't like us sending 10, I just don't. I really can't explain it.
I think we should send the top three or five.

I'm in the same boat as Oti when it comes to number sent. I don't agree with 10 and I can't explain why. 5 however does seem just perfect in my opinion. It's not too much, but at the same time it's not pinning hopes and dreams on only 1 or 2 people.

Well they're probably gonna send like 8 people ( 4 returning and 4 new ) I think that would be fair and cool to see how people who last competed will do now. But to be honest, it doesnt matter who they send with Levi he'll always be the best one.

David isn't to be underestimated. Just watch. Give him one more shot at the Sasuke course and I guarantee he'll blow your mind.

i beleive Levi has mentioned/ said he thinks David is much better than him, or that he wishes he was as strong as David. I think he worships him. He has a shrine to David in his backroom but no i think ive heard him say Davids amazing, he can do much better on the course than I could.

I think Levi said to David "You are the true American Ninja to me" thanking him for the help in building the Shin-Cliffhanger. Anyway, I think both are great.

Well heres more speculation to add to the steamy pot of ANW rumors. I emailed one of the producers that I have been in contact with since ANC 3 in refference to open try outs for the December Sasuke and she said " We will be holding a special connected to the competition in December but no open try outs will be held"
SO! That leaves the question up in air, what is their special going to be? Invite back the same ten that went already, just the three who beat the first stage or have an old fashioned video entry contest like the old ANCs. But as far as another open try out for Sasuke 24, no go...

I see they got caught flatfooted...
Unless they meant "no open try out" meaning they won't do the "free for all" they did the last time. Could be invites only? or none at all?

Man, I hope it turns out to be invites only and not just send the last 10 again or whatever...

You are telling me... at this point I wouldn't mind a video submission thing as opposed to them sending their favorites from the winner's list.
There will be ANC/ANW people going - M9 already wrote "American" on their teaser for Sasuke 24 so we know some will be sent (Levi is by far a shoe in and quite frankly it would be kinda harsh if he wasn't given his record in Sasuke).

I don't know if they could have an ANC type thing where video's are voted on, since they haven't aired 23 yet. Hopefully they do end up having some way for others to get a chance.

I still say the answer is have someone write a program that accurately does sasuke and use it for tryouts

About the number of people to send:
I believe strongly in quality over quantity.
In other words I'd rather they send 3 people and have 3 first stage clears than send 15 people and have 2 first stage clears.
