If shunsuke competed from 20-28

[shunsukenumber98]

What kind of realistic results would shunsuke produce if he competed from sasuke 20-28? Here's how i think he do: 

20: shin cliffhanger 
21: Spider flip 
22: slider jump (he might mess up here due to the newness of the obstacle, also, wasn't this the ninja killer of the tournament?) 
23: Spider flip 
24: Final stage rope climb or possible Kanzen (though the Kazen might not happen due to his weight, lighter competitors couldn't make it in time, so I can't really see him Kazening due to him being more heavier, but hey, it might happen) 
25: door knob grasper due to said weight disadvantage. If not, then a absolute max of ultimate cliffhanger 
26: Roiling Escargo (this obstacle was a huge ninja killer, so he might fail here) 
27: Ultimate cliffhanger 
28: Crazy cliffhanger 

bear in mind this is due to speculation, and taking shunsuke's other results into consideration, let me know what you guys think about shunsuke's results if he competed from sasuke 20-28. Also, shunsuke isn't super heavy like a ragivaru, but he's  at about 70kg, so it might not serve him well but please correct me on this regarding his weight.

Agree with most of these.

I think though he'd fail the glitched stick slider in 20, Levi only barely beat it and it works against heavier competitors. I don't know if he'd get the shin in 21 due to how much he struggled on the cliffhanger kai.

Hnm, i think he could get passed shin in 21, he would have been more experienced by the on cliffhanger obstacles

I agree with all of these except him making Stage 3 in 20 and winning in 24.

20 due to the aforementioned issue of the Stick Slider being broken that tournament.

21 I agree he could pass the Shin-Cliffhanger, given that even in his debut he almost successfully Kong-Crossed it (before the Kong Cross became a thing at that), and would've had ample time to train for it. Let's also not forget that Takeda had a pretty inconsistent history with the Kai variant and cleared the Shin in his first attempt. I don't think the Shin was much harder at all than the Kai anyway, because of the jump being pretty small and the third ledge being larger. 

Re 24, he wasn't particularly close on 17's Final when he was a fair bit younger, and someone like Yuuji who was a lot stronger upper body wise had to train rope climbing for a full year to beat that Final, especially with the bungee rope. 

This is all assuming he's able to train though, because his track record has been pretty contingent on his commitment to training. He was incredibly consistent from 14-18 when he was a teenager and had more time to train, as well as from 29-33 when he retired from professional athletics and hence also had more time to train, but then post-34 when he started a family, had his brother's health issues, and generally lost interest, he started declining pretty quickly. He was taking sports pretty seriously during Shin-Sasuke training for international competitions and even the Olympics, so he might not have had enough time to uphold his prior streak. I mean don't forget he went from being a rising star on the show to a long hiatus because of his athletic career.
