I can't tell which seems easier, but the ladder is kinda weird. :/
Nope, walls didn't always <- and ->. Only near the the middle of Ninja Warrior, or something around there, did they decide to seperate the walls to intensify the course.

Ninja Warrior's cool. I'd keep watching it but they keep patching up hacked dishes (lol).

I believe the "Woman of Ninja Warrior" is called Kunoichi in Japan. It's hard as hell to search for it and not find Naruto videos, so here's Rie Komiya for y'all. Stage 3 for Sasuke feels like it's more physically straining than anything in Kunoichi, but Kunoichi is still very hard in its own right.

They love talking about how long her legs are. I think they're just being mean.

That man is quite amazing.
Offtopic: Spider is... spider in Japanese? ..... Climbing Bar? Final Stage? Cliffhanger? etc... Don't they have their own Japanese version of those words... and the typical Japanese citizens can actually understand these English words?

You want to see some srs Ninja Gaiden sh't? You know that guy that played Ryu Hayabusa from "DOA: Dead or Alive", the movie? Ryu is the main character of Ninja Gaiden, I'm sure you know. Guess what. His name is Kane Kosugi, and he ALSO starred in Ninja Warrior.
DUM, DUM, DUUUUM.
/knows this only because he's seen the DOA movie and knows way too much

There were these teenagers from NA, that went to compete in Ninja Warrior. Not sure how well they did though, let me see if I can find any videos. Actually, found this via Wiki:
Quote:American athletes
Various American athletes, including gymnasts (and twin brothers) Paul and Morgan Hamm, have competed in Sasuke. Paul made it to the second stage in the 14th and 16th competitions but failed to make it further (in the 14th he cleared Wall Lifting but forgot to hit the button at the end before time ran out, and in the 16th he was eliminated by the Metal Spin). He competed in the 15th competition also, but failed to make it past the First Stage's Warped Wall. Morgan timed out in the First Stage before he could attempt the Rope Climb in the 14th competition, but he did make it to the Third Stage in the 15th, failing there on the Curtain Cling. In the 16th competition, he failed the First Stage's Warped Wall.
Decathlete Paul Terek competed three times. He first appeared in the 17th competition, making it to the Third Stage before failing on the Cliff Hanger. The announcer pointed to his immense size (6 foot 3 and 215 lbs) as a barrier to his advancement. After earning the title of Pro Sportsman No. 1 in 2007, Terek came back to compete in the 19th competition, but failed the First Stage's Jumping Spider. He helped G4 oversee the 2nd American Ninja Challenge competition in early 2008, but he did not compete in Sasuke's 20th competition due to his training for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing (though he eventually had to drop out of the running for the Olympics after suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee). He made his return to SASUKE in the 22nd competition but failed on a new obstacle in the First Stage, the Slider Jump he failed the same obstacle in sasuke 24.
Henry Cejudo, gold medal-winning wrestler at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, competed in the 21st competition, but failed the First Stage's Halfpipe Attack.

No, there are Japanese words for those. For instance, Spider is 蜘蛛 (Kumo)
The Japanese just love random English and German for some reason. More so English, but yeah...

Makes it sound more professional, since most people these days speaks English. English is slowly being taught from one place to another. When I lived in VN, no one spoke English. It was all Vietnamese, these days, I heard people are learning English. I would assume it sounds cooler, also.. Sasuke is being shown in over 16+ other countries, not sure if that's including Japan or not.

Yeah its usually the "cool" factor, hell i wish i could learn japanese since its "cooler" than your average spanish or english, but the only real reason i have is to understand japanese games and anime >_> though i think it would help me in the future somehow, hell, a third language would be awesome and useful.
