If there is a Kunoichi, and she's on it, as long as she can get past these certain obstacles:
Log Jam
Flying Pillar
Hop Rocket
Dancing Stones
Swinging Beams
I feel she can make it to the red part of Domino Hill, or at least Magic Wall
She has a great chance to beat the whole thing, seeing as she's the furthest female to get the farthest since the reform.

I pretty much have the same feeling with you on that, but it would be great for G4 to send her to the next Kunoichi, and she may be able to compensate for Miyake quitting the competition, and like you said conquer the course, she has already done better than Miyake in the reform so I agree. Btw, is it just me or does it seem like Bada, and you are the only two that really reply to all my posts, trust me im glad you do otherwise my topics would be dead

Hah hah, don't worry about the hope rocket... Luci can pass that.
But Konuichi is about Balance, we havn't seen in incredible amount of balance from Luci, so could she beat Domino hill?
I have no doubt that stages 1,2, and even 4 she'd dominate.
Infact the only hard obstacles would be the log jam, dancing stones, and domino hill, and besides those she could probably take the rest of the course.
But that's the problem, because those obstacles are there to stay.
On a good day I'd say yes, she could probably do it.

Most competitors didn't even use the trampoline to pass it.
And americans are taller than asians in most cases.
That's not a problematic obstacle for Luci.

I'd think that she'd do good on Kunoichi. IMO, she seems to have pretty good balance, as demonstrated in her entry video through the skipping on the poles and whatnot. Plus, she got all the way to the Halfpipe Attack on the men's course, meaning that she has very good upper body strength for a woman and has more than many men.

.

Up to the half-pipe attack anyone who is in shape will have enough upper body to complete those obstacles.
I'm terribly weak in my upper body and I could do them all.
Sextuple steps are feet.
Log grip is grip and mostly your legs honestly, and she does parkour, she has strong legs.
jumping spider is mostly legs.
Half-pipe attack is upper body and grip strength, so obviously if she cant do that she doesn't have much upper body, which I why I predicted she'd lose there, and I was right.
No upper body.

I actually once said to scnoi (when I first saw her entry vid) that I thought Luci could do very well on the Kunoichi course. If you want balance, rewatch the segment where she is walking on the top of what looks like handrails or something. No upper body movement (other than her arms) at all. She'd probably do really well so long as what happened to Diana Pickler doesn't happen to her.

i wouldn't say she has no upper body, keep in mind that henry failed the half-pipe attack and he is pretty strong, don't forget she can cliff hang as well

Henry did the half pipe attack wrong, he hugged the rope.
Luci did it right and still failed, because of her upper body strength.
She grabbed the rope, but couldn't hold on.
henry never had the rope to begin with, that has nothing to do with his upper body.

Henry was messing up on most of the course, did you see how long the pole maze took, how he did the Jumping Spider, and he hugged the rope for the HP-A
But I don't think doing good on the Mens course translates to doing good on the Womens course, and vice versa. I mean the mens course is strength, speed and endurance when the womens course is balance and speed. What times has Luci proven balance? and it you bring up that jumping over the handrail things that just about everyone puts in their videos, those are stationary and most of the balance obstacles on Kunoichi move (Dancing Stones, Domino Hill, Ect.)

IDK, the handrails looked like they kinda swayed to me

In comparison I mean, although if you want to be technical the Dancing Stones expect for the spring loaded one are secured but the padding you stand on makes it shaky.

Swaying or not, you can put a lot more of your foot on the Dancing Stones than you can on handrails. The stones allow you to put most of your foot on it, getting a better base for standing. You can get much less of your foot on handrails, and handrails are a lot smoother on the surface than the material that is used on the Stones. I think Luci would do fine.
