Watching Sasuke 25

[YoDaUO]

I havent seen any tournaments live yet and i want to watch 25 live. Should i watch in on Keyhole tv? What do i download and how do i watch it? I had 21,22,23, and 24 spoiled and i definitely dont want 25 spoiled.

Also, can i "download" it on a disc and watch it on my television?

Thanks.

There are several different ways to watch Sasuke live, Keyhole is one but should only be used as a last resort.
We usually get a better idea what we will use the week of the tournament since they are ever changing. At this point we haven't really looked into it much, but last time Livestreams worked well.

As for downloading it, after the tournament is complete at some point a copy will start floating around, you can download that and put it on a DVD yourself or use one of those cords that connects your laptop to a TV if you got one of those.

There's going to be a thread about every way you can watch it as well as links, downloads and info on which stream is better.

Don't worry about it, its still a month away.

I thought the filming was in 2 days and the airdate was a month away? Ive never watched live and am definitely doing so, but I thought that was going to be happening in two days. So the only thing I have got to ask is this: Is watching it live just watching it when it first airs on japanese tv or actually LIVE, as its happening in real life? I originally thought the second one, but now im unsure.

P.S. Forgive me asking a stupid question but like I said I've never watched one aside from on G4 or Youtube.

The actual taping of the show is on Saturday. It is then edited and shown on Japanese television for the first time and that is what we call the "live" show since we watch it via the internet at the same time that it's running on Japanese TV. This is a little unusual that it's more than 4 weeks difference between the taping and the official airing of the event but yes it's going to happen in 2 days but no one will see it until it airs on TBS on March 28th - a month later.

Sasuke is never aired as it happens since most of the time the taping of the show can last upwards to 18 HOURS...

[venomcarnage89]

Alright thanks for clearing that up for me. I know it took forever for Sasuke to start and ultimately end, but thats longer than even I thought. Good god I couldn't even imagine watching a show for 18 hours haha, the 6 hours I heard it lasts when it airs is long enough

[lars072]

And that 6 hours (7 in Taiwan) was WAY too long. They had better cut it down for #25.

[YoDaUO]

Ok, thanks guys. I will keep an eye out for a thread where i can watch it.
One more question, anybody know where can i download 23 and 24 and watch it on my tv,? I want to watch the FULL tourney and not just some parts. (I do not have g4 anymore so i cant see it in april)

Yeah I'm sure they'll shorten it, 24 was a wee bit too long lol, but I guess it was because of it being New Years Day.

[supersheep]

Thats already been annouced to, its back to the normal length of time

[arsenette]

Yeah the normal lately has been 4 hours'ish (after Sasuke 20 since all previous were hovering around the 2 hour mark).

[Ninja Chris]

Which sucks... I absolutely love having huge Sasuke marathons...

Having 6 hours for Sasuke 24 was incredible. I only wish they did it more often.

[YoDaUO]

If it is 6 hours then im just going to start watching an hour in when the good competitors start . Actually maybe not. What if i miss all of the first stage

[Ninja Chris]

Or what if they move Nagano to position #1 from #100 to see if that helps his tension?

[Oti]

That would make me more nervous. I liked my position in Santa Monica: a little after the middle. I got to see a ton of runs before me and learn some stuff from others while not having to wait around alllll day (although G4 still slowed things down significantly).

lol that would suck to have nagano as 1. I have no idea why they put Akiyama as 1 in Sasuke 20. Seriously? You cant make a champion go first especially if he hasnt even tried that course before.

[scnoi1217]

I think that was an honor having him go first. Plus, I think he has said he liked going first. That was an awesome moment, you start with the first champion and end the first stage with the second. Plus, watching that live, that was really cool to see.
