Article from Yahoo. (EDIT: LMFAO I got a shoutout in the article. LOL I remember talking to this reporter for about a half hour) Btw there's an update on the official Sasuke website giving a heads up on who they are going to promote during the program.

Note to first timers: those they promote sometimes do very well, other times they promote because a familiar face regardless of result.
That said, Mori getting featured in the show makes me hope he at least clears Stage 1. He's the guy I cheer on the most during Sport Danshi. And wow, the shade for Yutaka lol. Dude's been called 'hamster' because of his fail last year.

"Program each other encouragement program VS players to each other to drop kick an opponent in order to survive" Got to love those google translate disasters, or possibly just a shoutout to competitor #50 Also the real question, does this article count towards the Kacy Count or is that only ANW related?

The fact that Yuuji isn't among the featured competitors on the website concerns me. Even if it suggests he had a sub-par result in 32, he's still the only 2-time champion and at least deserves that recognition.

There are lots of people (Kong, Shinya, Ragivaru) who could do great but weren't featured. I think part of it is that Yuuji ran twice and had his time and TBS wants to promote the young new faces who haven't won yet

I share the same concerns as Yam about Yuuji, but he's always gonna be put at the top of the competitor list because of his accomplishments. Even in a digest, he'll always be shown. And he and Yusuke are now the only two active champions left.
Now, the person I'm worried about, is Kong.
5: Cut (Stage 1 fail) 6: Cut (Stage 1 fail) 7: Digest Stage 3 16: Digest Stage 1 18: Partial cut Stage 1 19: Full run shown (Stage 1 fail) 20: Full run shown (Stage 1 fail) 21: Digest 22: Cut (Stage 1 fail) 23: Partial cut Stage 1 24: Full run shown (best result) 25: Full run shown 26: Digest (Stage 1 fail) 27: Digest (Stage 1 fail) 29: Digest Stage 1 30: Digest Stage 1 31: Cut Stage 1, Partial cut Stage 2
He's only had 4 of his full runs shown and half were 1st Stage fails. Outside of those four, he's always had some part of his attempt at the course cut, partially cut, or digested while later being shown in the rest of the broadcast. Kong certainly deserves better.

If he got more attention than the others then he would've possibly been an All star by 24.

Lesser than that, really. Akiyama, Yamada and Takeda were established competitors by 6. Nagano was considered an All-Star at 10, and the concept had well hit the ground running by the time Bunpei at 14. And remember Nagano and Bunpei were around before their breakthroughs; they might have been sudden but they were previously involved with the show.

I mean I'm pretty sure he's been established since like... 4!

Kong has mentioned many times he has zero interest in being an All-Star is such a way as to insinuate that it was asked many times of him. Not sure if by the station or by fans. He's pretty open about it given that he didn't want the notoriety and loss of privacy.

Does Hioki ask for early numbers? Cuz it would seem pretty unfair if TBS made him run so early without his consent.

People say Hioki is pretty much the dependable one to clear no matter his position. If all the clears happened close to the end, it be a whole hour of nonstop fails. I believe TBS is trying to spread strong competitors out to have a mix of clears from early, middle, and end.

I'd still be pretty pissed if I were Hioki, because then you run first on the next 3 stages, and I think that's hurt him on Stage 3 before, and it could easily hurt him this tournament.

I can see where you're coming from, but he has the experience and training to best a lot of obstacles but he is still the guinea pig in retrospect.
