Here's how I think Koji would do if he competes from sasuke 30-40:
30: Crazy cliffhanger jump or final stage rope climb
31: Lumberjack climb (his smaller build might affect him on tackle+wall combo)
32: double pendelum
33: fish bone
34: Ultra crazy cliffhanger (first transition)
35: dragon glider
36: Ultra crazy cliffhanger (second transition)
37: Vertical limit or jugo dan
38: wall lift
39: wrapped wall if he gets a higher number or swing edge
40: cliffhanger dimension (I know he failed fishbone in actuality but I'm assuming here that he has been training all this while)
My reason for some of his first stage failures is because of the fact that he has history of messing up new and tricky first stage obstacles, but has always overcome them in the end.

Agree with most of these. Generally I think Hashimoto had the perfect build for modern Sasuke, because he was sufficiently light and upper body focussed, but also didn't have the same degree of issues that similar Stage 3 specialists like Ryo or Yuuji did, because he was taller and didn't struggle with raw strength as much. As a former gymnast he would've also had some pretty good lower body strength as well, which obviously caused Ryo to dive off a cliff from 31 onwards. He had some of the highest potential in one of the hardest eras of the show, almost winning in 24, coming joint first place in 25, and very possibly could've won in 27 had he not failed the Chain See-Saw. I'd say his potential in the RISING era and beyond, provided he didn't experience any injury or sudden slump (which should be mentioned as the Shin Sedai as a whole did see an abnormally early decline), would probably be on par with Ryo or Yuuji, without most of the disadvantages they had due to their smaller builds. Re the First Stage fails, he really only had a freak accident in 28 because of the buffed Spin Bridge, which also took out other highly consistent competitors like Lee, his only other two Stage 1 fails were in his first couple of tournaments, one of which was a wall fail and the other was on the Slider Jump which was brutally hard that tournament and still would've landed him a top 15 finish. I'm obviously completely discounting his fail in 40 as it followed almost a decade of health issues/not training. As a result my predictions would be: 30 - Crazy Cliffhanger or Rope Climb 31 - Vertical Limit Kai, or possibly Lumberjack Climb (I think given his better lower body strength he could struggle with the wall but will probably clear it) 32 - Ultra Crazy, TIE Fighter/wall if he ran in the low 90s, Flying Bar if in the high 90s 33 - Fish Bone (for some reason I can see this tripping him up, not sure why) 34 - Ultra Crazy (second transition) 35 - Vertical Limit (can definitely see him having a similar breakthrough on the obstacle to Kawaguchi or Drew) 36 - Vertical Limit (he still would've only been 34 at this time) 37 - Jugo Dan (due to nerfed Stages 2 and 3) or Warped Wall if he ran in the 90s 38 - Wall Lift 39 - Swing Edge or Warped Wall if he ran in the 90s 40 - Cliffhanger Dimension |
