So did she beat the 3:30 time limit for the stage as set on the main course for ANW8? If so, assuming the time limit and obstacles remain the same, victory is literally possible for her against that stage in ANW9. It would be interesting to see how far Jessie could progress on stage 3. American women have advanced so fast on ANW it is no longer far-fetched to believe a woman could clear stages 1-3 and attempt to achieve Total Victory.

/ her run. I saw Team USA and thought I saw Isaac Caldiero and I flipped. Then I realized it was Jake Murray.

Yeah don't know why they thought it was a good idea, even Drew is upset they did this. Here is the problem with this. 1) It shows Jessie beating Stage 2 which no woman has done at this point completely ruining the moment instead of the audience watching it at home and being amazed to just put it out there like no one is going to watch this. 2)They pretty much gave away where Jessie's run was as the score was 4-4-1 so a total of 9 points have been giving which everybody knows at that point it is the end of stage 2, so now what is the point of watching the first two hour if we know how it turns out. 3) They want to tie this to the Wonder Woman movie coming out because Jessie wore a Wonder Woman esque costume last year and does stunts on Super hero shows. Also I guarantee Jessie will wear Captain Marvel in 2018 or 2019. I am also surprised Jessie retweeted it because bow she added more to the spoiling of the show.

Horrible idea to spoil that, even worse idea not to cover the score when it was showed.

I don't blame jessie for sharing, if she waits she loses out on the people looking at it going through her social media. It is on NBC for being dumb, they should have just hyped the fact she was first woman to make it on USA vs World and went from there.
They need to fire their marketing department.

Let me start by saying this. This is an incredible accomplishment. I have no animus towards Jessie or any women in anw. However, I wouldn't really consider this clearing stage two. If you look at the clock at the end of her run, it took her over six minutes to clear the stage. The reason most people fell on stage two was because they were pumped when they were at the double wedge. It shouldn't be considered clearing a speed stage when it takes you over 2 minutes longer to finish then you are allowed in regular competition. Again, she is still incredible, and a very strong athlete.

NBC is likely just trying to get some early buzz for the special in order to minimize how badly it is going to get squashed by basketball on Sunday.
It might get really ugly ratings-wise, so NBC is just throwing this out there as a last ditch effort Hail Mary pass.

Still if anything, they should have shown her on stage 2, not completing it. They should have stopped it once she got passed the wave rider. Have it show she bested herself, but not show that she beat stage 2. It should have left a bit more of a cliff hanger(expression not the obstacle) like what they did with Stephen Amell on Celebrity Ninja Warrior. That got me interested to watch the special. This now might have people say they know how she did and not view it. They should have hyped it, not revealed it. Poor management idea.

It is on NBC for being dumb, they should have just hyped the fact she was first woman to make it on USA vs World and went from there. They need to fire their marketing department. There was a Facebook post by ANW Nation with this video and Drew was the first commenter. He said he didn't like the spoiler and then later said that ANW Nation likely "had" to post it so as not to get scooped by other media outlets. Then he says that Jessie has already shared it and he will likely share it later as well, which sounds to me like NBC is forcing their stars to participate in this. I think that ANW Nation post has been deleted and replaced by a different one.

It shouldn't be considered clearing a speed stage when it takes you over 2 minutes longer to finish then you are allowed in regular competition. Again, she is still incredible, and a very strong athlete. A stage with 210 seconds as a time limit is not a speed stage by any means; that's 3 min 30 secs. Stage 1 was 70 seconds shorter. The only ANW Stage 2 course that was under two minutes was the first time the Vegas Finals concept started in ANW4 and even that was 105 seconds. That aside, that's a weird semantics/asterisk to put on her run. She completed the stage within the format she was competing in, which only factors in time when one needs to beat another person's time (which she did as well, she had to do that first in this instance), not the time limit from a completely irrelevant format that no one is doing that night. No one competing in vs. The World is thinking "Oh, I must beat this stage within the time limit done the previous night or it won't count." When you don't have to worry about time, you do the course at a completely different pace. Anyone trying to go fast when they don't have to worry about another person's clock is just their style.

While that's true, in Stage 3 they do try to keep you at 30 seconds between obstacles, like normal Stage 3. That came into account in this year's USA vs. the World...but they'll probably edit that out.

That's still different given in official competition, the time it takes you to beat it doesn't matter. They have always differentiated between vs. The World exhibitions and official competition.
Yusuke is the first person to defeat Stage 3 in Vegas Brian is the first American to defeat Stage 3 in Vegas Isaac and Geoff are the only two to defeat Stage 3/attempt Stage 4 in Vegas in official competition
They've always pointed out those distinctions. Should a woman eventually beat Stage 2 during the Vegas Finals, they'll distinguish that from Jessie's clear in vs. The World just like they did with Brian/Isaac/Geoff. If it happens to be Jessie, they'll mention her beating it twice, and the 2nd time being in official competition.

Would be hilarious if Graff clears Stage 3. Bet this they-spoiled-the-best-part talk would get quiet real quick.

Sorry, just trying to understand, is this an official thread? The original post is a prediction since Team Asia is not yet confirmed. Where would we put predictions if not here? I had intended to make this as an official thread since it was early and there wasn't one for this year yet. Anyways, I'm seeing the invite get shared a whole ton by other ninjas and pages, and some of the sensitive info got blacked out, so I suppose he's fine with it being shared around: My read seeing this is that it is very unlikely we'd have a team Viet Nam, and also the grammar in the post makes him seem like the sole representative . For anyone unfamiliar with Le Thuc who wants to know I haven't kept up with Sasuke Vietnam, but isn't there a breakout star from the most recent season? Anyway, this will be exciting. In Sasuke Viet Nam 1 he only narrowly failed the pipe slider. In Viet Nam vs The World 2 he cleared Stages 1&2, was DQd on Stage 3 for grabbing the pipe slider railing, and cleared Stage 4 in 24 seconds. In the main event of Sasuke Viet Nam 2, he gained Total Victory with 7 seconds left. At this point he is essentially Viet Nam's version of Nagano Other question. Is this Team Asia replacing Team Latin America? Or are we having a 4 team competition? No idea, they don't officially comment on the team structure, just the stuff to infer Team Asia is likely Include Japan in Asia, the way Great Britain is grouped with Europe. Then depending on the nature of NW Australia, A team could be built from Australia and the islands surrounding it, including Indonesia. That might be a cool hybrid team of the Sasuke and NW brands. I mean cool idea, but doubtful. They'd be more likely to make it Oceania and include it with Asia. Or just totally shoehorn them somewhere, like how Sean McColl somehow keeps getting put on Team Europe despite being a Canadian. Seriously, don't invite Thuc... he would fail in the Giant Ring Swing, Keylock Hang lol

When you don't have to worry about time, you do the course at a completely different pace. Anyone trying to go fast when they don't have to worry about another person's clock is just their style. You make very legitimate arguments and I agree with pretty much everything you said. I think I used the wrong word when using speed. While I was very mad when the 3:30 time limit was announced, time did come into play this time around. Attempting the double wedge on very limited rest was brutal and I have no doubt in my mind that everyone who made it too the double wedge would have cleared if this was stage 3 and they were adaquetly rested. I actually kind of liked stage two because of the way the athletes were rushed to push their limits on very pumpy obstacles. I agree that Jessie had no reason to try and clear within the time limit. I know she wanted to clear the stage and it's great she did. She cleared within the parameters of USA vs the world, and that's amazing. I almost feel like I'm writing nothing right now because I basically agree with everything you said, and I hope NBC does what you predicted they would in the post you made after this one, with acknowledging whatever women next clears stage 2 as actually being the first to do so within actual competition. The best way would be to fully acknowledging her for doing what she did, and then giving all the glory to when someone else (probably her) clears in competition. I would be completely happy if that occurred.

The show was shot almost a year ago, most people know what happened. Also at vegas premier they had single wedge set up for ninjas to play on and very few cleared it without being pumped.

Please refrain from predictions in an official thread thanks. ♥ Sorry, just trying to understand, is this an official thread? The original post is a prediction since Team Asia is not yet confirmed. Where would we put predictions if not here? Nah that's not what I meant. I see the mods cleaned up some extra posts that didn't belong in the thread. Discussing actual information rather than a wishlist out of thin air are totally different things. I'm happy you guys are doing the work to find out the information and sharing with everyone. Thanks!
