We all know that the ultimate Sensei was Asaoka back in the earlier days, but we now have two teachers competing so who do you think is the better Sensei out of Keitaro and Suzuki?
I've gone with Suzuki as I feel like he's much more fitting of the title, given that he's clearly really popular with his students and they've often come to see him compete. Regardless of 'potential' he's also much more successful results-wise than Keitaro having reached Stage 3 multiple times.

Keitaro's more consistent in Stage 1, but isn't too good in later stages while Suzuki is inconsistent, but has managed to at least make it to Stage 3 on the same Stage 2 Keitaro had struggled with for so long more than once. I think their records are pretty close to the point where I don't know if I would call one better (though if we're going by my statistics sheet, Suzuki edges Keitaro out). It does seem though that Keitaro does give into nerves much more frequently than Suzuki so I think for that reason I would put Suzuki ahead as he's less likely to fall prey to mental mistakes.

Maybe I phrased the question badly.
When I meant 'better Sensei' I guess I was referring to who fits the 'Sensei' archetype better out of Suzuki and Keitaro, not necessarily who's got the better track record of the two teachers competing. I'm not saying achievement has nothing to do with it, it definitely does as obvs the title should be given to a noteworthy and prolific competitor, but it's also about who fits the whole 'teacher' theme better. For me it's definitely Suzuki; his students have often come to see him compete and also the fact he's older sort of fits the Sensei theme a bit more appropriately. He also seems to be really popular with his students.

They both seem like really nice teachers honestly. Keitaro is very polite and astute in his manner. I really like his demeanor. Suzuki had his students cheering for him like mad so obviously he was well liked. I'd bet Suzuki is the more fun teacher and Keitaro is the young, helpful, and polite type.
That said I think Keitaro looks more like the Sasuke Sensei.
