The discussion on how one would present Sasuke got me thinking about this. The question is pretty straightforward, but let me explain a couple of the choices.
-"2nd tier" is my Umbrella Term for all the big names that aren't the All-Stars
-"The winners" are the people who make it far. Choosing this means you're essentially a bandwagoner.
Everything else should be easily defined. Have fun ^^

Good question!! Sorta hard too though. I think all of em make it exciting to watch. Though i find myself watching the All-stars more closely. I can get up and use the restroom or something during some of it, but when I know one of the all-stars are getting ready to go I tend to stay glued to my seat. So they recieved my vote.

I don't really know. I just know I like making jokes like, "And thus, Nagano sinks back into the muddy abyss from whence he came." And then, everyone else who falls into the water after him, I assume dies because he drags them under and devours their souls. It's how he trains.

I support the All-Stars. Especially the ones who have spent a whole chunk of their lives on the competition. I do root for everyone to be honest, but mainly my beloved All-stars. Yamamoto most of all.

I do cheer for him I just have a side bet WHERE he's going to fail.. but if he did make it I'd be happy.. Happier than Sato that's for sure.. but I still cheered for him too

I like rooting for the 2nd tier to see if they can break through the "ceiling" and improve on their past performances. Guys like Kenji Takahashi, Koji Yamada, PAT, Lee Yen Chi, etc.

I'm with Arsenette, I root for everyone. But I do like to see new faces into the laters stages, so I guess I root for them a little harder.

Where do Chie Nishimura and Kenjiro Ishimaru fall into that list?
I can't vote until I know.

Likely different categories.

Everyone cheers for the All-Stars, so I tend to focus my attention elsewhere, and while I like seeing new people do well, most of the hype surrounding Sasuke in the weeks leading up to it is wondering how all the people you already know will do, so I went for 2nd tier.

It will be the All-Stars, of course.

It will be the All-Stars, of course. Hey velonicasushi, welcome to the boards! I know your new to posting, but please, read the forum rules at the top of every board. Posting in year old threads isn't looked highly upon here. Otherwise, enjoy!

Since I didn't see this thread back in the days of me lurking... I always used to cheer for Yamada, but since he's gone I've made my way back to the bandwagon I guess. Although If and when Keita makes it on, I'll have found my new favourite.
OFF TOPIC: Root. *giggles* (Root is slang for sex in the land down under. Just BTW)

The course. It took down too many and was replicated by almost everyone here.

it's gotta be the all stars, espeically as one of the first episodes i saw was around sasuke 4 so each new episode was in order therefore allowing me to grow to like the all stars moreso.
