Quick question, if I used Nagano's theme, Last Battle, in my entry video how do you think that would go over?? Either amazingly, or horribly. The Japanese like their hero's humble, like Nagano, Takeda, Levi (see Sasuke 20) ect... i'd play it safe, no Last battle.

The five or six is for me, actually. My girlfriend insists on coming even though we don't have the money.

As much as I would love to go to Japan (I've wanted to go for years now), I have nowhere near that much money saved up.

Well if you don't have enough money why'd you send in a vid? It's just gonna make it harder for people like me to get on because if they do accept you and you can't make it then they'll have 99 people competing.

I suppose I didn't stop to think about how my actions could affect you. Sorry.

Well I just don't see the point in sending a vid if you don't have the money to make it on the show

You'd be surprised what someone might do if they got the invite.. Besides.. who knows.. maybe G4 will do something to help the people they pick? It is a possibility albeit slim.

Ideal situation for me would be for someone under 21 to make it and get to stage 3.
Ergo G4 would almost have to show them, and also realize that you don't need to be friggen 21 years old or go through some silly competition.

Just because you don't see a point in it doesn't mean I won't do it. And I'm sure G4 knows there are good competitors that are under 21. They only have that to avoid any possible "underage" problems.

I'm aware and respect G4's decision to not pay for kids but the fact that they control ALL entries is a bit much considering that the show producers have a high school clause. They make them bring a chaperone with them which alleviates any problems. I wish it could just be G4 bringing whoever the heck they want but also not stopping anyone else from trying with M9. I'm curious if this experience will actually change a few things in the background. Who knows.

I was thinking that post was totally random until about half way through. I need to read faster. I agree with that. I think G4 should have a little set of rules stating that 21+ is fine, under 21 requires at least one person over 21 to accompany them. But then there's the chance that someone was, let's say... emancipated at 16, so they don't have a guardian to go with them. They could still bring, let's say... their friend, Tom, but Tom has no legal control (guardian-wise) over the 16 year old, so why bring him? It'd be a mess.

There are laws for that Emancipated means just that. Legally they have the right to be considered and treated as an adult So no it's not a mess.. it's just extremely rare. Either way.. is that what.. around 5 people so far sending vids?

I remember Chrisketchum by name but never really spoken with him. UncleSam is working on his I know that. Brett and Dustin Sims are working on theirs. Not sure about Rus since I haven't talked to him lately. Ryoga is not sending his. Not sure if Levi even has to (very doubtful since I'm sure G4 will send him) but I know he's been training for it.

Yeah, but 18 year olds are adults too, yet G4 has a problem with them.
Otis Hemmingway is my name, Badalight.
