Favorite moment(s) in Sasuke?

[scnoi1217]

So, Sasuke has given us dozens of great moments over the years, but I want to know: What are some of your favorite moments. Obvious ones are Nagano and Akiyama winning the whole thing, but there are also many different moments. You could probably pick one out for every tournament. Some of my favorites:
- The Final Stage in Sasuke 8. The rain, the drama, the newcomer, and a veteran's tearful ending to Sasuke.
- Kazuhiko Akiyama in Sasuke 11. He made it past Stage 1 with only 0.03 seconds left on the clock, his first stage 1 victory in 6 tries.
- The 3rd/Final Stages in Sasuke 12. So many people made it deep into the 3rd Stage, plus Nagano was so close in the Final Stage.

Those are just a few, I'm interested in hearing your favorite moments.

levi in 20
shingo in 3
Kane in 8 (shoulda won if he used his feet)
Terek 17
Jordon stage 3 8
travis Schraeder 4
and last and certainly not least
Professer Sasuke 12

all these runs were great

The Pants-man in 19, that was hilarious.
Other than that, you guys have already named 'em.

[Badalight]

Did you say Shingo in 3?
psh... if you want a shingo tournament, choose either 5 or 7.

last man standing in both (And I think only man to make it to stage 3 in both... at least 5)

And he stopped Sasuke from ending on the Second stage in 5, though it ended up happening in 19.

- Yamada Final Stage Sasuke 3
- Yamada Sasuke 6
- Yamada Sasuke 12 (Oh crap forgot to take of my gloves!)

Akiyama- Sasuke 6

It's shown briefly that he was sad during the american broadcast, but when I saw it on TBS I was heart broken over this moment. He was really crying, I think he had high hopes and was in shame because the last time he competed he was the winner.

Nagasaki- 18

His third stage run was beautiful, and his try at the pink cliffhanger is real eye candy. He's the only one to ever really reach across the gap and hang on, very cool.

I really liked Yamamoto's run in stage 3 in Sasuke 5. He cleared the new Body Prop his first try and the redesigned cliffhanger his first try. Plus, he almost reached the mat of the pipe slider, but missed getting his other foot on and slipped in.
Also, I really liked the final stage in Sasuke 8 and 12. In 8, there was lots of drama, rain, and emotion. In 12, three men attempted it, and one actually made it to the top to only lose by .11 seconds.

Kazuhiko Akiyama in Sasuke 11. He made it past Stage 1 with only 0.03 seconds left on the clock, his first stage 1 victory in 6 tries.

Yep.. that

[obakemono]

Jordan Jovtchev's first stage run in Sasuke 8. He finished when he had only 15 seconds left at the Warped Wall or something ridiculous like that. It was insane.

Akiyama's first stage victory in Sasuke 11 was great. I've never seen such a collective happiness from the entire crowd.

The last 10 runs of the first stage in Sasuke 19. Everyone failed, but that's why it was so shocking, tense, and a great viewing experience.

Agree with you on Sasuke #8 and #12 (remember Yamada's gloves incident too!), but my favorite was Sasuke #17. Seeing Nagano finally achieve total victory and tear apart the course was amazing. Shunsuke making it to the finalstage was also a bonus. To bad he isn't competing in Sasuke 21...

[Badalight]

Favorite moment in Sauskle ever was Levi's flip before the Jumping Spider in Sasuke 21.

ahem.

[gtoneko]

Gotta go with the Sasuke 8 as well for basically, the whole thing. It was already hap hazardous from the rain to start out with, but to see alot of the veterans go down in the first stage showed how much tension there was for the whole tournament.

Next up is actually the one that started it all, Sasuke 1 with how even though it was inside, didn't mean it was going to be cake walk at all, especially with what I still think is a hap hazardous obstacle is the Barrel Climb.

Finally, it'll have to be a tie for Sasuke 5, 19 and 20 with how so few have passed stage 1 despite the somewhat knowledge of the course.

[davidyko]

I agree with your comments about Sasuke 8, but what is "hap hazardous" supposed to mean?

It means not real well thought out, kinda just thrown together, unnecessarily dangerous. The rain made everything so much tougher that a course that was already exceedingly difficult for some became damn near impossible.

I loved Terek's second and third stage runs in 17. I remember on stage 2 the way he struggled with the spider walk (I think he slid on the way down) but then destroyed the rest of the stage. It was quite amazing.Especially since it looked like he was going to time out. I also loved the way he overcame obstacles which were even more difficult for him because of his height and weight such as the the curtain cling which he used his legs as well.

I also enjoyed Jovtchev's third stage run in 8

[hersper]

Any1 mention Yamadas run at 10th? Thats one of my favourites, and one of the first Sasuke clips i ever saw.
I liked Yamadas 6th too.
And 3rd.
And 12th.
Oh yeah I'm a Yamada fan!
Naganos 17th is totally one of my favourites too!

[YamamotoFan!]

I loved the 3rd, 5th and 7th cus all of them Yamamoto did excellent in
sasuke 3: made it to final his first time
sasuke 5: only one in stage 3
sasuke 7: only one in final stage:D:D (too bad he dislocate his shouolder:()

[pamwax]

Nagano clearing the 1st stage for the first time in #9 and of course in #17.

[Zorn]

All of Sasuke 5 and Sasuke 18 just because it was a new course and everybody was like WHOA!
