The 400th Clear (Possible Spoilers)

[yamfriend]

As of SASUKE 31, there have been 392 Stage 1 clears. Therefore, if at least 8 people clear Stage 1 in SASUKE 32, this tournament will mark the 400th Stage 1 clear in SASUKE history. However, the course has been notorious for being more difficult in post-Kanzenseiha tournaments, so this landmark is not necessarily guaranteed.

What are your thoughts on the matter: will the 400th Stage 1 clear happen this time around, or will it wait until SASUKE 33 or beyond?

Yes and I say it will be Yuuji

[cole77000]

I would say I'm pretty confident we will see at least 8 clears. The first stage doesn't seem to have a substantial overhaul and there were many, many clears the past few competitions.

That being said though, we haven't seen the new trampoline obstacle. Those sometimes alone make or break the whole stage.

Ideally, I want 3-6 clears, like it was in 5 and 18. My perfect renewal would be that number of stage 1 clears, 1-2 close stage 2 clears and then the new cliffhanger kills everybody left.

Why not make all the Stage 3 obstacles equally difficult?

Easy to say, but much more difficult to do in practice. I'd settle for half the obstacles failing people. I only said the Cliffhanger to keep with tradition.

Just for reference:

SASUKE 5 -- 3 clears (Shingo, Takeda, Yamada)

SASUKE 18 -- 6 clears (Takamasa Nagasaki, Takeda, Washimi, Nagano, Shunsuke Nagasaki, Kong)

SASUKE 25 -- 11 clears (Jun Sato*, Kong, Levi, Okuyama, Kouji, Brian, Takeda, Lee En-Chih, Kanno, Shingo, Yuuji)

SASUKE 28 -- 5 clears (Koki Someya, Asa, Ryo, Yuuji, Kanno)


Of those, these people are competing in 32:

Yuuji
Nagano
Takeda
Shingo
Ryo
Kanno
Asa
Shunsuke
Kong
Sato

Now, some of those haven't cleared Stage 1 consistently (*and in Sato's case, if that's indeed him it's been 6 years since he's made an appearance) as of late. Not to mention other notable competitors (Hioki, Tomo, Shinya) and the foreigners list is the strongest its been in years (Drew, Brent, Kacy, Ragivaru, Perry, Jin, etc) I would predict a decent chance of it happening, or being very close to it (1 or 2 off).  We'll see if the weather/course did its part, though.  I wouldn't be surprised to see 10 clears.  I'd be surprised to see less than 6.  If there's no Final Stage attempt (I'm not expecting it but it's not impossible), I would prefer a nice amount of clears to fill out the broadcast.

Doing the math, that's an average of 6.25 clears, so I'm giving it a maybe

I hope they release confetti when number 400 clears. And that lucky guy gets 400,000 yen too

[carson]

What if Kacy was the 400th clear?

[yamfriend]

The answer is...(BE WARNED, MASSIVE SPOILER)

SPOILER: Click to show

Yes! Tomohiro Kawaguchi is Stage 1 clear #400.

IMO it sucks that TBS didn't recognise the achievement but that's SASUKE for ya

[UnrealCanine]

Some people aren't as interested in these kind of milestones I guess

[Season 16 Hopeful]

we got exactly 400

[dutchninjaperry]

I don't want to be "that guy" but to calculations the count is now at 401. With a total of 2799 Stage 1 fails...

[yamfriend]

Are you sure about that? I have a very comprehensive list of everything compiled on my computer, and I count exactly 400.

These numbers are the numbers of FAILS PER SASUKE TOURNAMENT.

Count all of them up with a website calculator = 2799.
3200 competitors - 2799 STAGE 1 fails = 401 STAGE 1 CLEARS
calculla.com/columnar_add

Meaning the person before Kawaguchi clearing Stage 1 is the 400th CLEAR, that's RAGIVARU ANASTASE! GO WREATHMAN!

All the Fail numbers I used was on Wikipedia:

I do not know what your count argument is?

Perry, you have one too many clears in SASUKE 31. 17 clears, so 83 fails.

Probably missed Shinya Kishimoto because technically he withdrew beforehand due to injury.

[DonalM]

So was it Wreathman or Tomo?
