Yeah, I don't know either. Do you think they only wanna show those that do well? And as for Nagano, at least on the G4 broadcast, they did not show his debut in 7. He was invited to 6 but since he only had 2 days notice he had to decline. 7 he was cut entirely. 8 he went to but they didn't show his demise from 7. 9 he made it and they only showed 8's video of him losing to the warped wall. He was then interviewed and he said that he lost to the warped wall twice. But 7 he was never shown in the TBS version. Nagano does smoke (Right, Arsenette?), so I don't assume he'd be the fastest runner, regardless of how strong he is. All the All-stars smoke (not 100% on Akiyama though) but the rest of them do. Nagano and Takeda are the only ones to have been videotaped doing it though. |

I'm pretty sure I saw Nagano's 7 and 8 runs in the JET broadcast, but theres no way of checking now.

Well obviously he did. He doesn't seem like the type that would lose in a race to Yasuo Aoki...Just like in every tournament, the first person had some potential to beat the 1st Stage, much more than their number would indicate.

How many times was that? I know Sasuke 1 he made it to the last obstacle. I think there might have been a #1 clear in Sasuke 4. Sasuke 12, well I think we remember Yamada Koji. Putting Akiyama as 1901 (1 in any other tournament) counts too and he made it to the Halfpipe Attack.

Let's take Sasuke 21 for example:
The guy at the #1 position actually competed in Sasuke 20 and made it to the Halfpipe Attack. I would think he would have a better shot (and would be placed higher) if they only ordered the numbers on potential. Think about it: A good opening run sets the tone for the day and gets everyone excited about what's going to happen next.

You can see his number in 19 if you have a high-quality version of the show. I think his number is best seen after Shingo's failure, which is #75 in my opinion although the wiki says #76. In 18, I believe they showed his name and number in a list of upcoming competitors, but his run was cut anyway. It's believed that the tournament he wasn't in was Sasuke 17. Getting back to Mr. Kobayashi...I watched the JET footage again and he is definitely #79 in Sasuke 21. As far as #19 is concerned, if you freeze the scene just after Shingo's fall on the Jumping Spider, it looks like one of the #s is a '6' on his pants. But it's hard to make out, so it could be #76 or #75 as you stated. Still don't know what obstacles he failed on though... |

No, and that's what sucks about him getting cut. I want to know how well he did. It seems from his Sasuke 19 and 21 performances that he got wet in both so that can rule out a Warped Wall death or a time up, but nothing else...

He was one of the guys that I thought may have a chance at Total Victory if he made it to the Final Stage. But it wasn't to be...I just wish he had more luck with the Jump Hang/Jumping Spider and more coverage from TBS. He's one of my favorites! At least we know he was in Sasuke 19 and 21, but how about Kenji Takahashi? 8 appearances means he was cut entirely from 2 competitions. |

During the Behind the Scenes thing during ANC3 special on one of the screens that the crew is keeping track of you can see Takahashi failing the Jumping Spider (Pretty sure thats Takahashi, no one else wears that exact outfit with that haircut AFAIK)

But we know where Kongu has failed in every Shin-Sasuke tournament, as he has been shown in each one: Shin-Cliffhanger, Jumping Spider, Flying Chute, Jumping Spider.
Back to Shinji for a second. I think he would be amazing in third stage as he always has. However, just him beating the 1st Stage is hard enough. Plus, he's only beaten the 1st Stage in Sasuke 11, 14, and 16; which I would argue are three of the easier First Stages compared to their time.

I think Kobayashi has a good chance of making it deep into the third stage if he can pass stage 1. I mean he's always shown good potential in stage 3. I mean he was the first to pass the 5 bar Jumping Bars (that even Nagano failed) and on the first time the obstacle was there. And who can blame him for failing the Devil's Swing where the Pipe Slider went away, even Nagano couldn't do that.

Kongu competed somewhere 2 more times (we know 7,16, and 18-21) but we probably won't know unless TBS tells us (unlikely) or he tells us himself (more likely). And for Kobayashi, yeah, he's had troubles with the first stage just like Takahashi in recent times. I guess that is what makes Sasuke a challenge- you can't just rely on strength. You need the total package! |
