A tradition unlike any other, it’s the SASUKE Guessing Game XX: Slumberjack! Celebrating its landmark 20th edition!
The audience is back, Kane Kosugi is back, and I am back for the 20th Guessing Game. We’ve now had guessing games for half of the SASUKEs! I’ll also have an homage to our past host Will by multiplying all scores by 20. I hope this makes up for me flaming you for putting Koji Yamada on the competitors list. (That, and the fact I have to put Kane Kosugi on the list.) Last time, sasukefinnja continued their red-hot streak by winning their second Guessing Game. Will sasukefinnja do what most of you probably think Yusuke will do this tournament and achieve a third championship, or will it be someone else’s time to shine?
The Bullseye will be back for its second tournament.
- Choose one competitor that is not Yusuke Morimoto. You may also choose between INNER bullseye and OUTER bullseye.
- If you choose OUTER bullseye, this functions identical to Silver Competitor. This competitor must have the best result not counting Yusuke Morimoto. (Obviously, being the Golden Competitor will inherently win this.) A correct guess will be worth 500 points.
- If you choose INNER bullseye, this functions identical to Golden Competitor. This competitor must have the best result overall, beating Yusuke. A correct guess will be worth 1000 points.
- Submit your bullseye like such: Boruneesan (INNER)
- As an added twist, you may not pick the same competitor for Dark Horse.
Other than Bullseye, Dark Horse, and a change in stage scoring, this is exactly the same format as the very first guessing game, so those of you who played last time know what to do. (There are no changes from Guessing Game XIX other than the scores multiplying by 20 for memes.)
I'm putting this at the top because I want everyone to see it: I have an Excel script to auto-populate results. In order to make my life significantly easier, please follow the following format in your results:
#1 Competitor: 1
#2 Competitor: 2
#3 Competitor: 3
and so on. Please keep one space between the colon and the number, and please do not have extra lines between the competitors. If you'd like to put notes on the end of the competitors, you may do so, but keep them on the same line.
Scoring for Stages:
-An exact guess for the number of stage clears is worth 400 points.
-For every instance you miss a stage by one (high or low), you will earn 300 points.
-For every instance you miss a stage by two (high or low), you will earn 200 points.
-For every instance you miss a stage by three (high or low), you will earn 140 points.
-For every instance you miss a stage by four (high or low), you will earn 100 points.
-For every instance you miss a stage by five (high or low), you will earn 60 points.
Scoring for Competitors:
-For every instance you guess a competitor correctly, you will earn 200 points.
-For every instance you miss a competitor by one (high or low), you will earn 100 points.
-For every instance you miss a competitor by two (high or low), you will earn 40 points.
-If no one is within two (high or low) for a stage/competitor, the person(s) who is the closest (high or low) will earn 20 point.
- Bullseye: See above. PICK ONLY ONE PERSON.
- Dark Horse: Same rules as Golden/Silver competitor, except for this category you must pick a competitor that has NEVER made the 3rd Stage. Hey, I can use the original Dark Horse rules since Keitaro made it to the 3rd Stage last tournament. PICK ONLY ONE PERSON. To reiterate, you may not guess the same person as Bullseye.
As we know that there will be no new obstacles this year, this is an easy course to write down:
1st Stage:
1 - Quad Steps
2 - Rolling Hill
3 - Silk Slider
4 - Fish Bone Kai
5 - Dragon Glider
6 - Tackle
7 - Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe
2nd Stage:
8 - Rolling Log
9 - Salmon Ladder Nobori
10 - Salmon Ladder Kudari
11 - Spider Walk (& Spider Drop)
12 - Backstream
13 - Conveyor Belt
14 - Wall Lift
3rd Stage:
15 - Flying Bar
16 - Sidewinder
17 – Swing Edge
18 - Cliffhanger Dimension
19 - Vertical Limit
20 - Pipe Slider
Final Stage:
21 - Spider Climb
22 - Salmon Ladder Jugo Dan
23 - Rope Climb
24 - Kanzenseiha
Additional Rules:
-Entries are due December 26, 2022 11:59.59 p.m. EST.
-If the Navi airs after the deadline, Navi results will count. If any part of the Navi airs before the deadline, Navi results will not count. As always, any result spoiled in a commercial at my discretion will not count.
-Please do not put your entry in spoiler tags. Bad things have happened in the past.
-Progress points are based on where a person falls/times out on the course.
-Ties will be broken by the combined number off for all eligible competitors/stages.
-Any information not shown on the TBS broadcast does not count.
-Fast forward segments do count, provided it shows where the competitor failed.
-If a person fails during a transition segment, the obstacle he/she was approaching will count as where they failed, provided they completely cleared the prior obstacle.
-I will have final determination, based on how much the athlete engages the next obstacle, in ruling where athletes fail in a series of linked obstacles. I will almost certainly just be taking the result from Sasukepedia. This replaces the two rules that used to be here about Rolling Hill and Salmon Ladder that I haven’t followed in years.
-If any answers are revealed before the broadcast, regardless of the source, that category is null and void.
-You may change your entry as many times as you want before the due date.
-Competitor list is based on the official list released by TBS.
-If you don’t know who a specific person is, look them up. We have a wikia for that.
-For the Bullseye and Dark Horse, progress on the obstacle counts. (For instance, if Jun Sato pumps out halfway through the Pipe Slider but Tomohiro Kawaguchi fails the dismount, Kawaguchi is the sole Golden Competitor.) If the Dark Horse is decided in the 1st/2nd Stage, time through the last cleared obstacle will also count. If I cannot reasonably break a tie on Bullseye or Dark Horse, there will be multiple correct answers awarded the full 20 points.
-Entries are accepted on both Sasuke Maniac Forums and The Ninja Masters Discord server. Do not enter on both.
-Have fun.
