No I don't know if/when it's going to be so don't freak out. The only thing of note so far that I know is that Kevin Pereira is planning on returning to Sasuke. forums.g4tv.com/showpost.php?p=2200225&postcount=70Last week Keven said that he is preparing to make his second return to run the course so the aots ninja warrior merger will not be stopping anythime soon. (Olivia probably won't be going this time because she will probably be busy with other projects she has in the works so won't have these Saskue Omunn rant next time) Outside of that there is nothing else to report. As I get stuff I'll post here. By that point if it's confirmed that there is another Sasuke then I'm sure the mods will create a new forum for it.

I like that. Kevin can behave himself.
I hope he beats the Log Grip this time. I want to see him take on a real killer, like the Jumping Spider.

Agreed. Like I said in the G4 boards. The only problem I had with Kevin was the whole disqualification fiasco. Other than that he can be the host for Ninja Warrior for all I care. He doesn't try dominating the spotlight.. as much.

If you've played G4's Flash Game I see why he thought you go on, the character barely fell into the water and kept going on that game.
Maybe he doesn't have time to watch all the episodes, At least he knows how to act when in another country

I don't think his disqualification was that big of a deal. He didn't know what to do, so he stopped and waited for someone to tell him. Olivia was the idiot yelling, "GO! GO!"
Right?

I was told there was quite an awkward silence when he stood there staring at a bunch of TBS/M9 people to figure out what to do since he had no clue if he was disqualified or not. It was more of an annoyance because he really should have known. It's not like a corner of his sneaker hit the water.. both FEET were in the water. I'd was annoyed by that.. I can see why the brass thought the same way. And yes Olivia was the only one screaming to keep going... she didn't know either As for not knowing.. he should have. All competitors should have known the rules. It takes 5 seconds to say "no water" before he went. Everything else is getting technical and require the producers to explain (like the infamous Yamada gloves incident).

Great to here Kevin may be taking Olivia's place. Olivia is to much of a comedian when she competes and also takes away a spot for someone else who is probably much more deserving.
Kevin on the other hand isn't as brass and annoying as Olivia. He knows that he shouldn't try to act like a douche and to be respectful in another country. Not to mention he actually is training for it. He's not wasting a spot and actually has some sort of potential. By TBS's standards if he's suppose to be one of there joke competitors, at least he's a joke competitor with potential eh?

Yeah, I heard that too. Glad he's taking Olivia's place.
Hopefully for ANC5 we can see Russelis or Ryan Stratis go to Japan.

I honestly didn't think Olivia did overally bad.... but def think Kev is better suited. Even Luci trying for us was almost a joke. She a tough gal and looked great but there is womens ninja warrior. Besides that I think we as a whole have started taking it more seriously, hence our sites and knowledge popping up across the web. Need a fellah to represent us...... if levi ain't competing...let him host.... if not kev is a great suit

Luci's not a joke. She's a badass little chic and she'd easily kill most of the members here. With no hands.
She's proving women can kick serious a**, even if it's a men's course.
Don't restart that stuff that happened when Luci first got chosen to go. Everyone assumed she only got chosen because she's a girl and she was going down on the Log Grip.
Besides, if it's between someone like Luci and a show-off, arrogant dude like Levi, bring on the girl.

Don't forget it's between them and David too, he should be coming back.
Colin's disappearance still makes me sink.

Haha, nah I thought Luci represented us well, and she went quite far. Can't say I agree with ya on the Levi thing though. thought he had been really humble and respectful to the originators of the sport. yeah maybe doin a backflip on course is a bit overdoing it i tend to think of it as artistic flair. When he talks it is with the utmost respect.
Between Keven and Olivia though I'd rather one of the guys represent. I thought Kev was more serious about the event, and for me personally i just felt listening to levi who'd been to the third stage try to put me in a competitors shoes would be bit easier then listening to Luci, but hell.....for Ninja Warrior, if they both ain't competing let them be the new Kev and Olivia tandem....now that'd be cool!!!

I predicted Luci would fail on the HPA and she did. It's cool to see a woman geting far on the course, but I just want to see americans go who actually have a chance at beating it all. I'm thinking Luci may be done, not sure if they'll send her next time. Hopefully David is brought back, and then hopefully the winner of ANC5 is good. Colin and Mark both deserve second shots aswell.

I'd like to see Mark get another shot when he's healed up. But I also want to see a new face for ANC5 if for no other reason it means anyone else can have a shot rather than cycle through the stable of former ANC'ers. Otherwise what's the point of submitting a video?

I think the only ANC winner that be brought back is David. If TBS wants to bring Levi back, thats their choice, but I really dont want to see the same people recycled over and over unless they do something to deserve being brought back. As far as I'm concerned, Luci had her shot, as did Levi. Colin and Mark really did nothing to deserve another run, granted there were circumstances in each, but I'd rather see more people get 1 chance then keep sending the same ones over and over cause "well, he's got a lot of potential! If such and such happens or such and such didn't happen he would go really far!" Everyone that's been highly ranked in an ANC competetion as a lot of potential, and could get really far in the right situations, otherwise they wouldn't be there. I just feel there's more than a big enough talent pool to draw from so that we can keep sending over new strong competitors. I think return whoever did the best in the previous tournament (in this case David) and sending 2 new ones each time would be a great format. I agree with quasi, if they are going to be returning 2-3 people each time from past tournaments and only taking 1 new one, theres really no point in submitting a video. It would be unfortunate to those who could to really could do well out there to have no chance to get on cause they didn't get their foot in the door back in ANCs 1 and 2 and it's gotten jammed up too much.

I'd rather see more people get 1 chance then keep sending the same ones over and over So by your statement, all 100 from Sasuke 22 had there chance and shouldn't be in 23--give a new group of 100 a chance. Guess I can kinda agree, but the fans want their fav to come back. Perhaps they should get rid of the joke contestants and only allow serious players.

Now why I agree that ANC is pretty much pointless if there's only one new winner and everyone else had a shot, whats the difference with one extra person?

Since they will only have 3-4 slots, it isnt' fair to keep giving them to the same people. With 90+ TBS can give them to the people that are fan favorites and still give almost everyone a chance that deserves one, eventually. If you notice, very few people return more than a couple times that aren't either extremely popular or very successful of the course.

Instead of doing computer videos....they should hold a big "qaulifier" tournament here similiar to what they do with the finalists. A couple cities across the US show up hold an event for any who show. Then all the winners from across the states go and compete in a single tourney to go over seas.

Problem with that idea is most people dont have the time or money to be traveling all over the country to compete. It would water down the field to pretty much only those who are willing to goto CA or live there.
G4 didn't make a course for other ANC trials due to budget issues as I understand, so I can't imagine they'd expand an idea much larger that is already losing them money.
