Sasuke spoilerific review ;) Warning.. incoming blog of Sasuke 27.. if you don’t want to know.. you have been warned :D (Just remember.. the USA Broadcast of this.. will be.. well.. March, 2012.. Yes.. you read that right.. another 5 months after taping this event back in July... Thanks to everyone for being so patient. Got sick with headaches again this year and am still recovering from an inner ear infection.. yum.. Anyway.. For a preview of this event.. Please see SASUKE 27 NAVI 1 hour review of Sasuke 27 with fluff pieces of all the major players in the upcoming Sasuke and even a couple of runs that were cut from the official broadcast!. Oh.. and as Ube says: If you are from the G4 Forums, DON'T POST THIS THERE. They expect everyone to stick their head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.. P.S. I will NOT be covering ANW3 on this blog especially since it aired a couple months ago and I prefer to blog about everyone at once.. not in isolation! Thanks!

UBE'S Sorta-LIVE-BLOG FOR SASUKE 27 IS HERE!

(Massive thanks to Ube for his help on the names in English and Japanese of all the competitors!!)

11 down but only 1 clear.. thanks to the Double Salmon Ladder eating the competitors. I hope the bloodbath doesn't include Ryo.. well okay I'm lying.. I know he passes.. ANW already showed him in the .. okay nevermind.. /sigh

Ryo Matachi (Cliffer #2) 又地諒 is up next!

I'm sparing you most of the clips of his fluffpiece as we've seen it in both Navi and his first stage run

This is his mom Miki as we know by now

Second Stage is all dramatically lit

Ryo Matachi (Cliffer #2) 又地諒 on his very first 2nd stage

Mom Miki on the far right and wow I didn't recognize Keita. He's hard to see on this pic though

Slider Drop just fine

safe on the gap between the Salmon Ladders if not barely..

okay he straightened it out and is back on track

onwards to the Unstable Bridge

cleared the gap

whoah.. okay he's clear..

safe if not barely on the Balance tank

Getting ready on the metal spin

and he's through!

Cheering section is happy!

Oh.. we know what Ryo will be working on between Sasuke's..

Walls are totally kicking his ass...

Oh boy.. Klaxon blaring and he's got almost no hope to raise that thing..

barely moving....

/facepalm

TBS/M9 this is the reason why you don't put a friggin' foot and a half gap between the wall and the floor! I LOVE Ryo but he couldn't do the wall.. thanks to "PC" we now have a dumbed down obstacle

Ryo Matachi (Cliffer #2) 又地諒 - SECOND STAGE CLEAR

LOL everyone looks stunned ROFL

and the doors opened and they haven't recalled him so he's through! LOL

Yuuji in shock, Nagano celebrating.. sorta.. LOL and Ryoma happy

Yuuji realizing how friggin' lucky his fellow Cliffer is to be in the 3rd stage! Had they not changed the walls after Levi got his foot caught in it we know he wouldn't have passed.

We've got 2 clears now.. they'll take it

Meanwhile Ryo celebrating as he is indeed granted a 2nd stage victory.. just like Lee was as well for doing the exact same thing.

owww.. my forearm...

Ryo is a lucky bastard :p

Mom is overwhelmed

This show is sponsored by..

LOL I'm cracking up that the sponsor break has this...

as he runs over to stop the clock as quickly as he can.. sponsored by SoftBank!

Yes.. yes I know.. I know!!!

who the hell is ジェームス・マクグラス James McGrath???? (sorry SMF joke)
Just tell them "I'm James McGrath Beotch!"

Okay.. you know you are sleep deprived if you don't read the "L" on that 2nd word the first time around..

ジェームス・マクグラス James McGrath is an ice cream man!

DAMMIT.. now I want ice cream.. nom nom nom nom...

TBS is going nuts over how tall he is.. LOL Uhm. TBS?.. Paul ANTHONY Terek is 190 cm.. wait.. then again they freaked out about his height then too.. LOL nvm.. HOLY CRAP THIS IS A GIANT is what TBS is talking about.. LOL

TBS also reminding you that he has the salmon Ladder at home (even if it's scaring the HELL out of me how it's twisting with his weight on it.. LOL)

and has practiced the balance tank so he shouldn't suck

The Giant has entered the arena

ジェームス・マクグラス James McGrath

ANW representin'

LOL he does look massive on this thing..

Double Salmon Ladder not a problem

Announcer losing his marbles as he jumps across and lands on the 2nd to highest rung!

LOL The Announcer is not the only one losing their marbles.. ahahahhahaha

and I'm sure the designers are closing their eyes hoping this piece of plywood doesn't.. break.. LOL

not a problem over the gap!

LOL Wakky still stunned and Nagano is jacked!

They are amazed at the speed and precision of James!

ahahahahaha Nagano gets up to get a closer look

and to the obstacle he trained on!!

and not a problem with the Balance tank!

and onwards to the Metal Spin!

Clear on the metal spin!

and LOL he's making these things look so small...

Doooooh! Face plant....

ooooooowww..

ignoring the pain and continuing with the walls...

and last one! THIS is how you do it Ryo.. LOL

Who the hell is James McGrath?

I AM!!!!!!!!!

ANW representin'

Yay the giant passed!

ジェームス・マクグラス James McGrath - SECOND STAGE CLEAR!

damn that hurt...

Nagano has developed a new trick when he isn't going to talk.. just drink water! LOL

wow is this the first time they are going to show Brent's full run? LOL Okay! Here we go!
ブレント・ステフェンセン Brent Steffensen

They had freerunning clips and VLC couldn't handle it without turning into a blur.. so Brent helped by standing still.. LOL

TBS reminding us that he passed the Double Salmon Ladder in Sasuke 26

and was a 3rd stage competitor.. even if he was fast forwarded..

Okay back to the present as he passes the Slider Drop

motoring through the Double Salmon Ladder

also lands on the penultimate rung!

onwards to the Unstable Bridge

safely across the gap

Doh! Almost ate it at the balance tank!

managed to jump off it without falling

Whoooooah My God! Strat's a quote machine today.. LOL

LOL I"m still cracking up at Brent's smirk on his official picture..

and lost it on the metal spin..

sorry.. being spoiled so horribly by the NBC coverage is kinda killing my run of the Americans today.. I'm trying my best..

ブレント・ステフェンセン Brent Steffensen - Death by Metal Spin

Wakky discussing how the Metal Spin is obliterating the competition as well

which of course is the segway to the next Fast Forward segment..

double FF today as well.. トラヴィス・ファーラニック Travis Furlanic - Death by Metal Spin

another double FF...

トラビス・ローセン Travis Rosen - Death by Metal Spin

another double FF...

森本裕介 Yuusuke Morimoto - Death by Metal Spin

and sorry Ryoma.. they were forced to show you.. LOL but still double FF'ed..

加藤僚馬 Ryouma Katou - Death by Metal Spin

and Yuuji watching his friend...

.. dammit...

You mean I have to go after that???

meanwhile Wakky ワッキー was finally able to pass the first stage

and I think I heard that all the way here in the USA when it happened.. LOL

also from his Fluff piece that aired earlier

Oh he's serious.. took off his shirt..

and he's doing well on the Slider Drop..

.. Seems TBS treated him as a refrigerator break.. LOL

anyway back from commercials and.. oh.. he's not good at this at all...

Nagano yelling encouragement as Ryo doesn't seem to know what he's looking at..

Oh he almost fell off ... at least he didn't touch the sides.. he'd be dq'ed..

Nagano just smiles as he knows what's going to happen and sees it in his brain in slow motion..

and the inevitable..

Just doesn't have the strength or technique for this thing

Yeah.. painful isn't it?

Wakky ワッキー - Death by Double Salmon Ladder

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Yeah.. I guess we all know what we need to train on .. yeah..

meanwhile it's time for the technicolor mohawk

and so far MM has been obliterated today.. (cough.. Rie on the left of the picture)

Terukazu Ishikawa 石川 輝一 from Muscle Musical マッスルミュージカル

2nd stage in Sasuke 24 he died on the Metal Spin

hanging on to the pole on the Slider Drop...

okay! Safe on the Double Salmon Ladder!

transition to the Unstable Bridge

managed to get across the gap

lost a lot of time.. but still safe on the Balance Tank

and he hangs on to the Metal Spin this time!

MM losing their marbles as we stare at Rie's butt...

Klaxon blaring and this is the first wall!!

Motoring through (properly I might add...)

Final wall and he lifts it...

drops the wall early and dives for the button which is now at Shingo length™ (ya'll who have seen Shingo's dives with his feet caught under this thing before they Levi'ed the bottom will understand this statement)

and.. did he? Wait.. 00.0.. oh but there is smoke and gates opened!

He's cleared!!!! but by how much?????

HOLY MOSES.. 6 ONE HUNDREDTHS OF A SECOND!!! 0.06!!!!!!!!

LOL NOW he understand how close he got!!!

MM Losing their marbles!

Rie is having kittens!

High fives from Stage 3 competitors!

Naoki: Dude you have to yanking my chain....

Terukazu Ishikawa 石川 輝一 is another lucky bastard.. LOL - SECOND STAGE CLEAR!!
