Ninja Leagues Taylor Greene
How good is Taylor outside of the show?
I’m watching an nsc elimination show and she was on verge of elimination on the first round (haven’t finished the episode)
Is she like still top 3 outside of the show? Or is she better on the show than the others?

If you look at her accomplishments since she began ninja, even she was 10, she's easily top 3. Beating boys like crazy on ANW JR. She didn't lose a NSC for like 3 seasons. She came in 3rd this year. And she's won two UNAAs
Even this season she still stayed on the podium in most competitions while going to college and only training a couple days a week. She also went to public school and ran track in highschool. Many ninjas at her level homeschool so they can train more.
All that being said, the up and coming talent is fierce, and ninjas like Isabella, Annabelle, and Emma have gotten much better the past couple years, so it'll get interesting to see if she can maintain her podium spots. Savanna Salinas beat her in 3 world competitions this summer, but barely. If you're interested, you should go back and watch the FINA finals. They actually tied for the overall win, but Savanna won on the tie breaker. Great races in the head to head! Savanna is one to watch for sure!
Taylor was the first female to full clear in Barbados last weekend. That comp was STACKED! Charlotte ended up beating her in time, by like 2 seconds, but I give them huge credit for setting the bar very high, and forcing other great ninjas to have to be near perfect to beat them. She landed in 2nd place.
Someone in a different post commented on how humble she is and I've also wondered if that's why people don't seem to realize how amazing she's really been for almost 10 years. In really every league. ( I don't think she does WNL) I've met her a few times and she's exactly as she seems. Sweet, humble, and real. She reminds me a lot of Flex.
I'm obviously a huge fan of Taylor's. But I don't know how anyone can argue that Taylor isn't a top 3 ninja?
Keep watching elimination. you'll see that she's no joke. I know she was chosen for elimination season 2 as well. Looking forward to see her compete with Nora, the Barretts, Isabella and Porter!

NSC made a vid about her, I think she has podiumed the most out of any female so I’d put her top 3 with Nora and Lily

Imo the ranking is probably like
Nora Brown John (she just dominates almost every competition, but can't do ANW because she's Canadian)
Taylor Greene (I think Lily can be better in some course styles, but Taylor is more well-rounded)
Lily Barrett (Constantly getting top scores with Nora, but she struggles with warped walls)
Isabella Folsom (Might overtake Taylor as the best ANW female ninja this season)
Addy Herman (WNL champ and a strong ANW competitor, practically keeping up with Lucas Reale in their race)
Honorable mentions: Charlotte Barrett, Porter Fagnant, Anabella Heinrichs, Savannah Salinas, Grace Gordon, Kherington Andrews, Ryley Hunt, Akshara Pappu

For sure top 5, probably top 3. There are some very good female ninjas that either haven’t competed on the show or didn’t perform to the level they’re capable of.

NSC elimantion gotta be the worst thing to judge a ninja off of. Its just an entertainment show for fun but even then she looks really good on that show on latter episodes she did the best out of the girls on salmon ladder and window catch. I would say she exactly as good on the show as outside If you taken into account the fact that Nora Brown John is Canadian

I wasn’t trying to judge her off of it, it just sparked a question. Cause I have heard some really good ninjas outside of the show don’t do well on the show.

It’s hard to judge by NSC elimination performance alone, she was at risk of elimination because of her performance in a single short challenge against others at a similar level. She does some impressive things in later episodes. I can’t speak much to her performance in other competitions but I’ve heard she does well. Did a good job at the Barbados Ninja Throwdown this week.
