Favorite moment(s) in Sasuke 21?

[scnoi1217]

Sasuke 21 was filled with many memorable moments. For me these stood out:
Brian Orosco's 1st Stage run.
Bunpei Shiratori beating Stage 1 again after a long losing streak.
Actually, the All-Stars in general returning to form.
Levi's run (both good and bad)
Daisuke Nakata's successful comeback and painful 2nd Stage
The Shin-Cliffhanger being beaten twice, Takeda's was the most memorable since he was the first.
Getting to see the 2nd half of the 2nd Stage.

What are your favorites?

[supernovamaniac]

Brian Orosco's run (Definately. It was amazing to see that clear)
Levi (Everything was good except the 2nd flip)
Yamada (Don't kill me Ube, but I was surprised with someone who injured his foot to clear Halfpipe Attack)
Bunpei Shiratori's clear.
Takeda's ownage on Salmon Ladder and the 3rd stage.

And finally.... Nagano.

-Kenjiro Ishimaru's run. I was pretty much in shock from the Jumping Spider onwards.
-Lee Enchi/Yen Chi's run, because it was my first time seeing someone clear a stage live.
-All the first stage clears that were really close calls.
-Levi and Nagano sequentially owning the first stage.
-The second stage getting its reputation back, although it sucked to see everyone individually fail.
-Nakata's performance.
-Daisuke Miyazaki lives up to the hype.
-Cliff Hanger is beaten.

Everyone's pretty much covered them, but:

- Brian Orosco's 1st stage - besides the time left on the clock, also because he's repping my hometown. lol.
- Levi's fail on Salmon Ladder - anything to knock him down a peg.
- Nagano passing the Hang Climbing like it's nothing.
- Return of All-star dominance (more or less, more than half of 'em made it to the 2nd stage, and the other two made it to the third-to-last and second-to-last obstacles respectively.)
- The guy who fell into the water right after the start pad.
- Takeda's reaction after passing the 1st stage.
- Ditto for Bunpei.

Hmm for me it would be :
- End of stage 1 (4 clears in a row was nice to see). Was kinda deceived that they digested Kongu (I missed it then scnoi told me he failed on jumping spider ) but well I guess we can't have it all.
- Nakata's 2nd stage run though I was hoping he wouldn't try and"course-suicide" on salmon ladder. Was kinda hard to watch.
- Miyazaki clearing stage 2 (cheering up since i'm myself playing handball).
- Takeda clearing Cliffhanger cause he was the first. Seemed that Nagano almost HAD to clear it after Takeda did. I remember an event where Takeda taunted Nagano then beat the SCliff Hanger, then Nagano did too only to lose by ,1 sec or something lol. Almost looked like a remake of it . Friendly competition has good aspects.

- On a more funny note, the moment where Miyazaki goes to wish good luck to Takeda, which is followed by a "secret handshake" (quotes Arsenette) then he and Nagano just don't know what to do for a couple of sec before Nagano shakes his hand. I just couldn't stop laughing during the broadcast ^^

All that I can think off for the moment

[arsenette]

LOL Atma the 3rd stage was filled with awkward moments Quotes came easily!
I loved the 21st tournament. Just about everyone mentioned at least one of my favorites. (All-stars coming back and being the last 2 standing), Nagano/Shiratori birthing scene.. wtf was up with Nagano going insane past Stage 2? LOL Kenjiro Ishimaru was a huge highlight in Stage 1 as well. Sooooo happy Bunpei was back despite Stage 2. Just happy he's back!

[halo]

Sasuke 21 ROCKED!

Kenjiro Ishimaru making it to the Flying Chute.
Brian's, Levi's, Nakata's, Shiratori's, and Nagano's First Stage run.
Luci making it to the Halfpipe attack.
Nagano making it to the Gliding Ring.
Takeda PWNING the Shin-Cliffhanger.
So many people clearing the First Stage.

[Captain Obvious]

Limiting myself to "moments", my top five are easily:

(1) Toshihiro Takeda clears the Shin-Cliffhanger

(2) #86 (before Iketani) flips over the Flying Chute rope

(3 and 4) Kenjiro Ishimaru and Luci Romberg pass the Jumping Spider

(5) Brian Orosco clears Stage One with 0'00.68 remaining.

[lars072]

Everyone's mentioned them above, but it was awesome to see Takeda get to stage 3 and of course Nagano gave us another exciting performance as always. But my #1 moment was seeing Brian O's run in stage 1- I was speechless!

[ninjainnikes]

I loved seeing Yamada fail after he commented on everyone else failing. I don't care if he's injured or out of shape, he needs to put up or shut up.

[VenusHeadTrap]

Well I'm sorry nikes but it really does suck being old and injured and never achieved victory once.

yet he still got further than most.

[SRW]

I have many moments but my stand out one has to be Takeda clearing the shin cliff hanger when he did it I jumped up and yelled YES **** YEAH!! lol:).

[Badalight]

I knew Takeda was going to clear the Cliff-hanger, so I can't say it was my favorite moment, it was predicatable and I had guessed it before the broadcast even started. (Scnoi can vogue for me ;] )

The most heart pounding moment was Brian's run, because no one thought he could make it, I thought he could if he hurried but he just kept going slower and I was practically yelling at my computer screen for him to MOVE!

[Zorn]

favorite moment was when so many competitors that made it past the first stage wiped out on the 2nd stage, especially the salmon ladder

[flamingwuzzle23]

Olympic trainer guy (#19) slipping off the starting platform (more of a hilarious moment rather than OMG AWESOME)
Ishimaru nearly clearing the First Stage
Skipping over/digesting the AOTS hosts
Brian getting his revenge on the Flying Chute
Shiratori clearing the First Stage
The two people that flipped over the Flying Chute rope while failing
Levi destroying the First Stage while doing flips all over the place
More than one person clearing the Second Stage
Takeda/Nagano clearing the Shin-Cliffhanger so we can see the rest of the Third Stage in action

Not really much that hasn't already been said.
