This thread it discuss the g4 broadcast, and speculation towards it.
I feel like it's going to be incredibly short. The G4 broadcasts are already shorter than their japanese counter parts, but without the 10 americans it seems like a lot of the magic and length of this tournament is lost.
Whether you like the american vs. japanese angle or not, it was present. It may have even affected some of the japanese competitors.
In the G4 broadcast you'll see a total of 5 people beating stage 1, and 2 people beating stage 2. They'll both fail the UCH and it's over.
For the g4 viewer, it'll be almost as bad as Sasuke 19. It also doesn't help that all of the ninja warrior viewers already think the UCH is an impossible obstacle to pass. The facebook page is going to EXPLODE.

The facebook page, the G4 forums, and this forum makes really no difference even if they did explode with hatred for it. Most people watching wont notice.
With that said, I really really really hope they STILL show a few of the American's and say these are the runs from ANW.
With that said, they can easily edit out the American's, since they were so segregated from the rest of the competitors.

I'm just wondering if there'll be the typical 5-episode package for Sasuke 26. If you don't include the Americans, there aren't alot of others to carry that amount of programming. They'll probably condense the 2nd and 3rd stages into one episode and make 4 episodes.
I'm also wondering if we'll see more runs from some other competitors that might have been digested in the TBS broadcast as far as Stage 1 is concerned.

Honestly doubt it's going to be that long.. especially if they cut the Americans.. Given that the length of the show even WITH the Americans is pre Sasuke 20 days length.. I don't see them doing 5 again. I honestly do believe G4 will cut the Americans off of this.. be STUPID to do so.. but this is G4 we are talking about. I don't have much hopes.

What I'm saying is, the people on the FB were already mad no one beat the UCH last time, then they witnessed the americans lose, now they'll have to witness Okuyama and lee fail it as-well. |

Will be worse if the Americans are cut out.. I mean seriously.. without the 5 in the 2nd stage and 4 in the third.. you guys said it.. it would hardly be a tournament.. especially in a G4 broadcast which is already American heavy as it is.. I'm terrified to see the outcome if they repeat the ANW1/NW23 formula..

Was just thinking about this lol. I've been a follower of G4 since the beginning of their existence, and I've seen terrible things on that network and stopped watching certain shows, they've canceled shows I loved and only really watch Ninja Warrior, and the occasional X-Play and AOTS episode now. I thought it was incredibly stupid to edit out the Americans in NW23, but if they do the same this time around, they lost a viewer. Will I matter in the short term scheme of things? No, but they need all the viewers they can if they don't get DirecTV back. I have other networks who aren't as full as BS as G4 can be. Not to mention other things outside of just TV.

What sucks, is, the American's did such an amazing thing this time around, and the American viewers will (sort of) miss it.

They'll probably scramble them up again (like always) like Shingo before Iketani, or Kongu in front of Koji, something like that.

They won't get the feeling we got, how the americans pretty much "dominated" everybody else. Also after seeing 26 I'm not as mad at Patrick anymore considering the people the RE took out. Still not sure how Adam failed the Giant Swing though. Just imagine, he barely failed that and he had pretty good time limit, he could've easily passed stage 1. Had Levi gone instead of Laplante chances are he would've passed too. That would've been 7 americans in stage 2  |

I wouldn't even be surprised if G4 only has 3 episodes for 26 if they cut out the Americans (which they probably will do so). Not only were the rest of the results pretty poor and the fact that it was shorter than it usually has been lately, but there were pretty many digests compared to many of the more recent tournaments as well. I'd like to see them add in more competitors that were digested or cut on the G4 broadcast, but that's very unlikely to happen.

I think they will still have 5. They may actually show more than the Japanese version.

So the most they will ever do to keep the 5 episodes is to get all the ANW10 runs.. but I don't think they will do that. If TBS is pushing to bring the price down on the Sasuke/NW broadcasts for future.. they will have G4 bring it back down to pre-Sasuke 20 numbers.. That way they can sell it again... provided it has the Americans in it even if only the clears. |

Had Levi gone instead of Laplante chances are he would've passed too. That would've been 7 americans in stage 2 Adam T. had no shot to clear stage 1. After taking his time on the Hazard Swing and taking two attempts at the WW, he had what like 30 seconds left when he fell into the water? On that course, that is not enough time to clear even if he did the rest of it perfect. Shane's run, besides the minor slip on the Jumping Spider and his posing at the beginning cost him like 4 seconds and he timed out. Adam wasted way more time than that. Levi with two good wrists I could see clearing. |

Shane had 20 or so seconds to the Tarzan Rope... He just grabbed too low on the Tarzan Rope and kept getting tangled in the Rope Ladder... He had a great shot of clearing time wise...

My fear is the same as many other people's....G4 will pretend the Americans don't exist and go "OMG ONLY 2 PEOPLE MADE IT TO STAGE 3!!!1!1" Had the Americans been the only guys to go to Stage 3, G4 would've committed a cardinal sin.
As it were, I don't think the broadcast will be very good...

I dont think they will pretend the americans dont exist because they are pretty much half of the competition. Last G4 broadcast I saw was 22 so I dont really know what they do nowadays. What if they never air it? Will I have this sig forever then ? lol |

You didn't see 23 then....G4 pretended there were no Americans then either.
So why wouldn't they do it now? Like the immortal question begs, what do you expect?...they're owned by a cable company.
