How do we know she wasn't just taking ridiculous amounts of time in qualifying because they allow you to? I never actually noticed how her times were tbh >_>
First stage is pretty easy is Sasuke 30, so if she could beat the clock, she could probably beat the course, unless the second Warped Wall is a good bit higher than ANW's qualifying wall.
Second stage...hm. I dunno. Like, I have no idea. Maybe the Salmon Ladder?
Third stage I have faith she could do SOMETHING in judging by the fact that she's cleared the UCH in a gym, which is something I...guess. It's hard to determine how hard it is to actually do that without 3 obstacles proceeding it. I could see her getting to the CCH at furthest, though I could also see her going out on the friggin' rumbling dice >_>

I could see her getting to the CCH at furthest, though I could also see her going out on the friggin' rumbling dice >_> I doubt she would be able to do the Rumbling Dice, shes so small and light I doubt that she would be able to move it without wasting loads of energy, I also think she'd struggle at the Iron Paddler as bigger guys like Kong seem to beast it whereas smaller guys seem to struggle a lot more at it (maybe less momentum to move the bar?) She would destroy the Drum Hopper, and then I doubt many American's could do the Japanese CCH, I really dont like how they have ruined the UCH's reputation by making it so easy on ANW when it was such a beast from SASUKE 25-27. Put the ledge width back to the NW SIZE PLEASE!!!!! It just annoys me how an obstacle so many top competitors in SASUKE 25-27 failed is now made to look so easy *sigh*. But yea, she'd fail the CCH, unless you practice for it you have little chance. I doubt she would do the VL, and Pipe Slider gap would probably finish her as well ^^. Oh and IF she was carried miraculously to the Final Stage I doubt she would even get up the Spider Climb in 30 Seconds . PS: If you havent guessed it already, I didnt like ANW6

Assuming she's run faster than we've seen her run on ANW, she has an actual shot of beating Stage 1, but no way she'll get past the Walls in Stage 2 (also assuming she has the technique for the SSL). I'm not sure she'll even be able to do the "cheat" where you lift the wall and then slide under the gap.

For some reason, I could see her barely sliding under the first wall, and then literally crawling, not even attempting to lift the walls.

She has the potential to clear Stage 1 but I don't see her making it past stage 2, assuming the Cross Slider is spaced in a way she actually gets to fully lock it in, the Wall Lifting would definitely stop her.
Also everyone seems to be under the impression she's slow just because of how she ran in Dallas, I just want to remind everyone that was a regional where if you clear you move on.

I saw the videos but nothing in there that is a facsimile of Sasuke or even the Vegas course. I still stand by my initial thought that she won't get out of the first stage in Sasuke 30. When a timer is added the pressure changes in your mind on how to do obstacles. She didn't get out of the first stage in Vegas.. so why would she do it in Japan?

The obstacle that Kacy actually went out on in ANW 6 was the Jumping Spider which is very much a height biased obstacle. She had to practically do the splits to attempt the thing, which is probably incredibly torturous on your legs. ANW 5, well, got me there, but she seems to have shown a lot of improvement between ANW 5 and 6.

I was just responding to the argument that we only looked at her speed when making our assumption on whether or not she would have passed Sasuke 30's course. I look at overall performances and so far nothing has given me hope she'd be the 2nd woman to ever get out of the the First Stage in Japan. To be clear the only other person I thought had a shot was another American Luci Romberg but G4 and NBC never sent her back.

Seriously, I think the only problem in stage 1 is the second warped wall. If she can manage the second wall with the first attempt, she'll finish stage 1 in time. But I don't see that. It's also true for Lucy Romberg and other good female competitors.
The SSL or the Backstream will stop her in stage 2 and in stage 3 the Rumbling Dice will not rumble.

To be clear the only other person I thought had a shot was another American Luci Romberg but G4 and NBC never sent her back. Well, okay, I was just responding to that one particular argument which implied equality between Sasuke 30's Stage 1 and ANW 5/6's Stage 1. Yeah, she hasn't done anything that makes it obvious that she could clear. But she has shown she can, well, get through all the obstacles in an ANW finals stage, at least. And she looked decent in Stage 1 at Vegas from what I remember. So while she hasn't exactly proven herself, she really hasn't faced anything as easy as Sasuke 30's first stage, so I feel like she actually has a halfway decent chance there. And yeah Romberg was badass @_@

She'd still go super slow on the JHK net if she made the jump.

If the Hedgehog doesn't get her, the Jump Hang Kai will IMO.

Stage 1 would be such a piece of cake for her! Y'all making crazy stupid predictions. She is about elite as an athlete as they come. Lucy is amazing but she never trained specifically for Ninja Warrior where as that is ALL that Kacy does.
I realize she has done these obstacles a million times but it's still beast.
Super tight pipe-bomb game!

She wouldnt get out of the first stage, whether you think its super easy or not, I don't see her getting through the JHK, DWW and Lumberjack Climb quickly which is what you need to do to have enough time to finish.
