It's a good decision to remove the netting on top of the green bars. The UCCH+VLK combo is brutal enough already. 3 tournament in a row without a Third Stage clear is excruciating, pls unveil the FINAL STAGE.

Oh, it was said in the official livestream that Morimoto going one-handed after clearing UCCH is a technique to reload the chalk on hands. He apparently can do UCCHVL combo back and forth in practice.

Also do we HAVE to drill home what Shingo is gonna do next? This is getting a bit off topic tbh... I'm not sure but at this point I feel content on Shingo right now...

In case anyone loved Jessie's exit interview as much as I did

So I just finished watching this. I feel so bad for having more negative to say that positive but like, this tournament just didn't do it for me. Don't get me wrong the course was excellent, and Jessie was a freaking star in this. Her runs give me life. I just wish Inui would edit the show differently. I feel bad being so critical because he does the whole thing by himself, but I just don't understand why he edits the show the way he does. I haven't followed Sasuke very closely in years. I pretty much just watch the show once a year when a tournament airs, but one thing has always been constant since 2013, and that's that great competitors constantly get screwed or fast forwarded. I would have loved to see Shunsuke, arguably one of the show's most consistent competitors tackle the first stage. I feel like he has been fast forwarded every single year now? And lol Jun Sato and Wreathman got the full digest treatment too. Like why!? It makes me so mad. These people work their butts off to get <1 minute of screentime? I understand the ABCZ dude and Darvish bring in ratings but Inui doesn't have to spend 10 minutes of the show on each of those guys. Their fluff pieces and interviews are wayyyyy too long. Obviously when you have a lot of clears you have to cut something out, but maybe they should shorten the first stage so we can see more people? I don't know I just really really don't like how the show was edited, and it appears this trend has remained consistent over a number of years now. This problem is probably exacerbated by the fact Kunoichi 9 and 10's presentation was amazing. When you compare the editing of those tournaments to Sasuke, it makes Sasuke look like chop liver imo. As an aside, I felt my post towards the black tigers (are they still called this lol) was rather scathing earlier. Just to be clear, my issue isn't with them. I'm sure they work hard and deserve their recognition. My problem was with Inui spending five minutes showing Yamada crying. Like I don't think viewers need to see that. Show us some people running the course instead. I didn't watch 33, so I'm not sure if the editing was like this in that tournament, but I do remember 32 having a lot of the same issues and being super turned off by it then as well. I forgot to mention this, but I love that they had Saori Yoshida show up for stage 3 commentary. Kunoichi 4 represent! <3 Inui hates Shunsuke's management. Everyone dislikes Jun. Anastase competed on Kuro Ovi. Those are prob the reasons for their FFs. Along with the fact that they don't have time to show everyone, some cuts have to be made, so makes sense to cut people that fail in the same spot as everyone else (cliff-hanger). Those two didn't make particularly good attempts on it either. Not saying I agree with the decision though. Wait Sato isnt liked? Can i have a link to more information about this?

Maybe im reading into it wrong and i know Japan has a totally different culture but did anyone else get a ever so slightly sexist vibe towards Jesse via the editing and reactions, every stage run there were constant edits to Darvish/Kawaguchi specifically laughing as she destroyed obstacles they have struggled with (esp Darvish.) Maybe it was just the shock and they weren't aware of her reputation and results from ANW but i just found watching the whole thing a bit weird as it was obvious entering this competition she was one of the top competitors and could make a deep run into stage 3.

I got the same vibe. It felt like a combination of amazement and ingrained sexism with a hint of "wow she's making this look so easy that it makes us look bad".
Morimoto looked enamoured with her when she was on the Sidewinder- can't say I blame him for that one.

Yes it's sexist but that's kinda the story in Japan. Up until Jessie there hasn't been anyone with that kind of power invited to the show. Remember that we've been harping for years that they need to change how they see women.. but that's a whoooooooole can of worms. Remember how backwards Japan is.. they don't even have sexism laws in Japan.. think about that. So when Jessie shows up and wrecks the place they have their jaw open. Also remember.. THEY DON'T WATCH ANW.. I'm not sure I can stress this enough. They don't know who the hell is Kacy, or Jessie or anyone else on ANW because they just don't watch the show. Americans in general in Sasuke have been far superior in consistency and dominance over the years so I'm sure they were not surprised per se.. but when a WOMAN does it.. that rocks their world. Remember also that a lot of the favorite Japanese guys didn't get past the first stage either so to see "a girl beat them" is something that still rings true even in the USA. The muttering of "if you lose to a girl.. you are walking home" was something that was openly talked about during the whole day. Even a few "she's a girl right?" (as a tongue in cheek and not meant in malice) denoting how much more powerful she as a person compared to the average Japanese male. Even Nagano was lamenting her long legs (I hope they don't ask me with my tiny legs to do that...) (Side note.. Nagano has a long legs fetish.. ehem..) so it's not surprising to hear that. ANW is caught doing that all the time (hello.. women's rule) so it shouldn't be surprising to hear sexism in this day and age. It's long from extinction. It thrives worldwide.

((ok that explains March slightly. I got pretty long legs and not much else. XD))
I was literally ok with Jessie going toe to toe with SASUKE mostly because her attitude is more acceptable imo. I like her in ANW and SASUKE. I do hope TBS invites her again because the Japanese need to wake up.

Everyone can see clearly what the final stage is lol all what's unknown is the time limit. I wonder if they even know yet tbh.

In case anyone loved Jessie's exit interview as much as I did Yeah, then watch them NOT invite her back. There is no way they will not invite her back considering she's the first female to beat Stage Two in the world during a tournament (including ANW) let alone make it as far as most of the guys did in Stage Three. You can pretty much assume she'll be there at this point.

In case anyone loved Jessie's exit interview as much as I did Jessie is easily my favorite female competitor. Not even for the pure fact she's amazing (and heavily branded around by ANW), but her attitude goes quite a long way. And her appearance in this tournament was the perfect introduction to her being a staple of Sasuke in the future and hopefully opens the gate to other amazing women, esp from Japan, to beat stage one (much like she did for ANW). The biggest thing from her being in this tournament is that now the impossible for women is possible.
