Y’all got any hot takes on Sasuke / ANW/ any other spin-off?

Just asking. I’ve been away from the NW community for a while, and I want to gauge people’s opinions on things to get a better sense of what direction the sport as a whole is moving in and whether or not people like it.

Personally, I prefer Sasuke to ANW for a few reasons, one being my hot take: I wish ANW had had a bloodbath tournament at some point. For ANW, even single-digit stage 1 clears would qualify as a bloodbath. It’s not much fun to watch live, but what it does is reset expectations in a way, and it fuels better storylines, which would hypothetically boost ratings. I think an easy way to do this would be to make time limits much stricter, but that’s just me. Again, it’s been years since I’ve participated in the community, so I could be way off-base on this.

Where can I watch these?

I used to be obsessed with watching them on G4 and Spike TV whenever they'd air them back in the day. Any information would be helpful!

Benefits to Making Thousands of “Air-Fists” Everyday?

Honest Question here: Would there be any benefits to making thousands of fists in the different wrist angles during the day?

I’m thinking it’s good for building Hand endurance, and building the mind muscle connection to the hands through neurological adaptation.

Kids community?

Is there a reddit I'm not seeing for parents who have kids in Ninja classes? How do I know if it's a good place... what should I be looking for? What skills should they be teaching or shouldn't? Correct form to prevent injury and all?

Where to watch the original Ninja Warrior

I had a way to watch it before on the Internet Archive, but it seems to have been taken down. Is there anywhere else the full series is archived? Whether its G4 or TBS' broadcast doesnt matter to me

I feel like we should do something to prevent them being taken down again, Like making a folder of all the shows on Mega so they cant be taken down by broadcasters

Kazuhiko Akiyama ANW Stage 4

Kazuhiko Akiyama was able to clear the 15-meter rope climb with 6 seconds left on the 30-second clock. The ANW rope climb is 75 feet which equates to 22.86 meters. The time limit on ANW’s 75-foot rope climb is 30 seconds. Using his average climb rate, do you think Kazuhiko Akiyama would have achieved a kanzenseiha on the ANW tower with the same 30-second time limit? Competitors attempting the ANW final stage rope climb have to start in a standing position.

Sasuke Rankings but with F1 Points System! (Sasuke 41 Update)

Personally I've been out sick these days, so this SASUKE 41 update is a lil bit late

To avoid any sort of spoiler, I use the same screenshot I used for the previous post

------

Lights out and away we go!

Dark gold: achieved kanzenseiha(s)

Light gold: has best result(s)

(Scoring System is described in my previous post)

If you have any questions, just ask (I speak Japanese, English, and a lil bit of Indonesian for good measure)

Just saw Team Ninja Warrior on Netflix -- the 10 second delay when one competitor fails (falls in water) is ridiculous.

This competition ends up with the 40-foot plus rope climb. On two successive games, first competitor of 3 landed in water in Section 1.

Competitors 2 had to stand there for 10 seconds while second competitor #2 blazed on. In both cases, competitors 2 and 3 who were delayed did not come remotely close to closing the gap. Yawn. It could have been a 3 or 4 or 5 second delay, making for a competitive game. But No.

Another thing: the floating tiles -- nearly impossible to cover if you are not in the middle. Why not make two parallel even routes, so each player has equal opportunity if they arrive at same time?

Several competitors have ended in water after trying to run the tiles on the side because game designers unwisely decided to make this obstacle one cross at a time. Ninja courses and policies going downhill.
