So, wanted to ask just incase, 2 were never shown at all other than photos. K.C Halik and Grey Kantor were both All Cut in Qual and City Finals. Anything about what they were like? And was Scott Wilson a wild card or not? Doubt it but good to check.

Makes me sad to say this, but that course was absolutely lethal, if you ran that as stage 1 in Japan I could only see 3-4/100 clears. Then again, Japan is 50% joke competitors, so make it 7/100. Anyone know how many people run these courses nowadays in ANW? This was finals so only 30? Yes it was only 30.

ANW is harder than the japanese version overall and even though no time limit except for the 30 second max rest break the finals course is always harder than vegas/japan 1st stage, ANW 2nd stage is way harder than japan 2nd stage and 3th stage the current japan stage with the UCC + no rest transfer is harder, but the american elites are now so far beyond the Japanese elites at this point so you are seeing a much deeper pool of talent moving into vegas than you get in japan. I'm confident Jessie would have beat stage 1 in japan this year running the regular set up NOT the women. children and elders course. I wish Kacy would have run the regular course in Japan to see how she actually would have done.

Tbh though, if Japan has 2000 people running its qualifiers it would have 10 people on the level of Morimoto.

Yeah 700 for each region, that makes 4200 (faceplam) 700 total (including walkons). So about 120 per region.

Still a way bigger pool than Sasuke's current format (50,000 people send in submissions for ANW, about 1,500 are semi-serious competitors)

Guys you're WAAAAY off with the numbers, for each region, legally (granted its their own contract but still ) they have it set so 100 invited competitors for regions, and 25 additional spots to use at producers discretion, which usually means walk ons but they don't usually take 25 in but they have 25 spots they CAN use on Walk Ons (Or they could technically invite people, I've heard that happening before)

This may put it into perspective. Also, ANW has walk on trials. At it's peak Sasuke had 25,000 applications when it still had trials (source: Inui). They are vastly different now with no trials, only 100 slots and a 20 year old show. USA is still new (only on the 4th year on this format/regionals/Vegas) and don't forget that prize money they paid out last year. USA's is no joke.

That was 300 people from the whole country and people who could walk on the same day and get on. Completely different beast

Yeah 700 for each region, that makes 4200 (faceplam) What are you smoking? And for that matter, it would be 3500 since there's 5 regionals this year.

Forgot to post this last week, but... David Campbell sighting! Yeah, he was running along side Jessie Graff. I was incredibly pissed that he wasn't acknowledged as being there.

Like the not inviting him is somewhat understandable (trying to get new blood) but still pretty s***ty. But literally cutting him out of all shots, taking weird angles to make sure he's out of the shot, and not acknowledging him? Like there has to be something that has happened.

No, they just didn't want fan backlash over not letting him compete, so they tried to deny his existance.

That's even worse...what in the world would David do to anyone...he's like the nicest guy in ANW, right?

The issue was the new casting team, they didn't know the veterans and he missed the cut with them, so they're trying to benoit that mistake
