I just saw a translation that if it was correct (it could be), that would definitely be a spoiler.
Edit: Questions for David: On the roulette cylinder, it looked like before the 2nd drop, you barely grabbed on with your 2nd hand, if you had not got your 2nd hand on, would you have been in the water? Also on that obstacle you started moving the roulette cylinder before you got off the platform (unlike the other Americans if I remember correctly) Was this legal in the rules?
Last question: Were any obstacles harder than you expected them to be?

..you don't consider 10 results to the Sasuke tournament .. a spoiler? What show were you watching? LMFAO not if they spoiled the japanese competitors like nagano, yuji, etc about how far they go. that to me is what i consider a spoiler. the ten americans not really because like i said it is in my personal opinion felt more like a preview of what to expect from the japanese competitors..

Mods, feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place... My burning question is...(keeping it general because I don't have the hang of that spoiler box thingy)... Why did some of the ANW competitors have numbers while others did not? ...and does it have any significance at all? IIRC correctly they did something similar during ANW1 (not sure why though) in which only the top 6 guys got numbers. For ANW2, only the 4 guys who previously made it to Sasuke (Brian, David, Shane, and Travis) got numbers while all of the newcomers didn't APPEAR to get numbers. There's no evidence yet as to if those who we didn't see with numbers simply didn''t wear (or at least show) them out of personal preference. All we know for a fact so far in regards to the 10 ANW2 guys' numbers is that Brian Orosco had #92, David Campbell had #84, and Shane Daniels had #83 (Sasukepedia however does claim that Travis Furlanic wore #82, but I don't know whether or not this was confirmed somewhere else because IIRC he wasn't shown wearing a number during his run on G4).

As far as the Japanese are concerned.. any footage outside of commercials of the TOURNAMENT is a spoiler Remember that more than half of this board are boycotting last night's show because it's.. a spoiler.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_%28media%2910 full results of competitors in Sasuke (regardless of race) are spoilers. Period. As soon as you enter race in it.. you are going down a slippery slope.

This was done because there were more than 100 people in Sasuke 23

Everyone has their own extent of what they wanna spoil to themselves or what is considered spoilers. you have yours and i have mines and so does everyone else. its not gonna change anything in the end. Lets just leave it at that

I thought the ANW2 team did really well this tourney and g4 did pretty decent job of trying to not spoil anything with the original broadcast....almost! I recall watching the beginning of Stage 3 and seeing the remaining competitors sitting in the back waiting for their turn. Now granted it was pretty dark but if you've got a really sharp eye you can make out who was sitting there. I was really trying my best to blur them out or just focus on the person on the obstacle. It was really hard to avoid that though once I saw them there.

Note! This is spoilers on speculation of the full field... if you do not want to see this consider this your last warning! As of when Brian is attempting Stage 3, I only see 3 people in the background, on the far end it sort of looks like Yuuji but I can't really see... while Brian is running the person second to the end starts walking over to the start line and starts preparing, looks like it's Lee, As for the 3rd person I can't see him as he's behind the crew yet he seems to be sitting farther away, perhaps he already competed...
6 or 7 or maybe 8 total in Stage 3 counting everyone?

Well I am very proud that 4 americans made it to stage 3.
Some points I felt that really stood out(good/bad) -David Campbell; he was simply beasting the first to stages. I really think he has the best shot out of all ANW guys to clear the UCH. Really was excited to see him finally take on stage 3. -Paul Kasemir; Very good, clean runs through 1 and 2 -Patrick Cusic was not worth the trouble -Shane Daniels....really was rooting for him, can't believe how it ended -Brian Orosco, what happened? I thought he'd surely get the the UCH, with the floating boards gone it might be the best shot anyone has.
On the whole scale Yeah, I'm glad I watched this. It only has me more pumped for Sasuke 26, and to see the other competitors. Overall, I'd say that some of our guys were making look easy. It was only fitting to watch them run after watching them for two weeks. And I did feel that stage 1 was actually easier. Maybe this holds well for guys like Shingo and Nagano...We'll see.

Poor Shane.. if he hadn't showed off that shirt he would have cleared.. Really liked the First Stage, had a fast pace to it. Giant Swing was unexepectly easy, same for that Bicycle Obstacle. David got revenge on the First Stage and made it the farthest of the Americans. UCH gap to third ledge got ridiculously easy. 5/10 Americans pass Stage One. 4/5 to Stage three. and so much more

6 or 7 or maybe 8 total in Stage 3 counting everyone? In addition to this, while Brian was on the Roulette Cylinder the Japanese narrator supposedly said that he was "The American Makoto Nagano or Yuuji Urushihara." Though it's certainly possible that he might have said that, perhaps G4 was trying to perhaps hide up the fact that the 2 of them were the only ones (or at least 2 of the people) left to go after Brian. It's probably a long shot, but with G4 being G4 with translations you never know. Sucks that I don't know Japanese. Also Rider keep in mind that it would make a lot of sense if Li were next. After all, his number was only 3 higher than Brian's. In other news, that demotivator is awesome. It makes me think that if M9 wanted to make a really weird name for a new obstacle, it might as well make sense by having a snail's head at the end. XD

David got revenge on the First Stage and made it the farthest of the Americans ...again. Brian failed the Roulette Cylinder, I can't believe it, he killed it last time. It must have something to do with the mustache. He killed it without the mustache, but he failed it with the mustache. Looks like the mustache cursed him, or maybe it was the DROPS!!!!

Darn you David! Why did you have to grab your hand!? LOL, I didn't grab my hand! I was doing the kongo cross and just slipped off before I could get my hand over. I just looked like I grabbed my hand, I was going for the rail. I have to say though, the UCH isn't any harder than I expected. That I DIDN'T expect was 1. that the doorknob grasper is actually pretty tricky, and 2. how fast they rush you to the next obstacle. In previous broadcasts they always describe stage 3 as not being about time and how competitors have "unlimited time". Levi described Stage3 to me once saying they they give you around 30 seconds and then let you know that you should move on to the next obstacle. So I kinda took that to mean they'd just politely tell you that your rest is up, and you could then apply some more chalk and take a few seconds testing out the grip before actually jumping up on the obstacle making it realistically closer to 45 seconds or so. That could not be further from the truth. They have a 30 second stopwatch on you between obstacles and you have to be ON the obstacle BEFORE the timer runs out. So it's really like 28 or 29 seconds. They start counting FIVE!, FOUR!, THREE! and if you're not on the obstacle before they say ONE! it would be "a problem" as they described it. So basically you barely have enough time to quickly apply chalk and spray before the next obstacle and no time to really recover your grip. So you just get spaghetti fingers really quick. But now that I know to expect that I can train for it! You know I really don't remember competitors being rushed so much when I was there in Sasuke 22, but they were speaking Japanese so maybe I just missed it? Or maybe it's gotten stricter? At any rate, I'll kill it next time!

So David was the UCH like the one you have at home or was it different? Overall the one in Japan felt easier than mine if considered on it's own. But when taken in context of the time limit, obstacles beforehand, stages beforehand, etc. it's pretty damn hard. As far as technical details, the angle of the boards felt dead on. The first 2 rails had a much wider grip area than mine making it pretty easy to get up to the 3rd rail, but then the 4th and 5th rails felt like they may have been just a hair slimmer than mine. However mine are 3cm and felt dead-on to the thickness at mucle park, so it could have been the fact that my hands were tired and I was moving from a thicker rail to a thinner rail that made it feel that way. (because on mine the first to rails are so thin that the 3rd feels thicker) Anyway, like I said before. It would have been no problem to clear if I came at it fresh, but after everything else....well you saw what happened!

Also on that obstacle you started moving the roulette cylinder before you got off the platform (unlike the other Americans if I remember correctly) Was this legal in the rules? Last question: Were any obstacles harder than you expected them to be? Never felt like there was a chance of failing the roulette. As for pushing it while my feet were on the platform, I don't see any reason I should waste energy holding my feet off the platform if I'm tall enough, that would be counterproductive. Like if I was 12 feet tall I'd just grab the middle of the 3rd rail on the UCH and start from there, LOL! So to answer you question, yeah it's legal, why wouldn't it be? Now if I had just thrown the thing down the rail and jumped to it, I think they may have taken issue with that! The doorknobs were harder than I expected because of the way they twist, you have to grab them really high up and roll them so they lock. But I figured out a better technique to use next time. "underhand grip"!

Yea like I said to you on fb you were a bit unlucky on the UCH. You looked quite comfortable on it (if you can be on something like that lol), IE you didn't look shaky the moment you got on it like some do, I thought for a moment you might actually have done it or at least made the jump part.
Could see you were going for a Kongu cross but just out of gas in the end, next time I think you got a real shot of nailing it, especially now you are more aware how the doorknobs and 30 second rest system works.
Wonder what would have happened on the 25 version, i'd guess maybe you'd have got to the first jump anyway.
