What do you think his outlook is? He's cleared Stage 1 three times, but failed either the Salmon Ladder or the Unstable Bridge on his 2nd Stage tries. Do you think that in 26 he will be able to clear the 2nd Stage?
Since he doesn't have the SL demons anymore and probably will train for the UB, is there anything else that he can fail? I don't think he'll fail the BT or MS, and is is possible that he could time out?

I can see him failing the Metal Spin, Salmon Ladder, or the Unstable bridge. I cannot see him timeout, however.

Well, with the Metal Spin, he is a freerunner and has good jumping ability(as seen by his starting footage), so that's why I can't see it.

He's unlikely to pass stage 2, He doesn't have near the upper body endurance. Look at him on the USB, he was completely dead by the time he was at the top of the SL. Had nothing to do with needing practice on the obstacle, he was totally out of gas.

It doesn't matter how high you can get, if you can't handle the shock, you cant handle the shock. Thats that. Height does matter, if you grab the rope above your head, your gonna fail the obstacle, no matter how good your grip is, otherwise you can't withstand the bungee. I agree that grip is just as important.

If the USB doesn't get him again, the Metal Spin doesn't get him and he doesn't struggle so much on the Wall Lifting. I don't think he would stand a chance on stage 3. But realistically I don't see him making it past stage 2 any time soon..

I disagree. Look at how much he's improved already. He went from having the worst attempt at the salmon ladder ever, to beating a harder version which even Takeda and Yuuji failed on.

You also got to consider he trained specifically for the Salmon Ladder and that's all he could do besides the Slider Drop.. He was the only person to even try the Unstable Bridge like that.. even if he didn't fail the gap he would have fallen off the second board..
As for Yuuji's fail he failed with him doing a stupid mistake trying to jump up a notch without enough momentum, crashed into the notch and then he was stuck doing something he had no chance of recovering..

I think you have him confused with Koji Hashimoto, the guy who failed on the first rung in 23. And also Daisuke Nakata, but he had hurt wrists, so seeing him make it that far was, quite honestly, epic.

He will either time out or fail the metal spin.

They both failed the Salmon Ladder in 23 : Hashimoto did fail the first rung, but Sato Jun managed to take the bar with him when he fell. So he does hold the record for the worst SL attempt ever Anyway, i think he has a lot of potential but i dont see him passing stage 2 soon..and if he did stage 3 would devour him.

Uhh no, I don't have him confused. 3 people have failed the first rung of the salom ladder. 1. Koji 2. Daisuke 3. Jun Sato Some people say Sato's was worse sinc ehe actually took the bar with him when he fell off, some say Koji because he couldn't hold onto the bar. Some say Daisuke sinc ehe didn't even really attempt it (Thought not really his fault). Then not only did he fail the first rung, the next tournament he had a very ugly and horrible attempt at it again. Then he beat a harder version. He's constantly improving (Sort of like Brian, always getting further) I don't see him failing anything besides probably the unstable bridge and 3rd wall on the wall lift. but then consider hwo he trains with. UNCL has a replica of the UB and I'm sur ehe'll be training for it now that he failed it. Also the Wall lift is a joke now, seriously Lee almost crawled under it without lifting the thing, so Sato can definitely pass that. The biggest enemy for him on stage 2 is time, becaus eunlike stage 1 this is all upper body and what he's bad at. He seems to do the obstacles really slow. Still that's not a huge deal because the time limit is pretty leniant. I betcha he'll pass it in either 26 or 27. Infact when the betting thread comes up for 26 I may just make that bet.

Sorry for this being taken away from your post.. but where did you even get the idea Jun trains with UNCLI?

Most of the qualifiers train together. If you want like a specific video then sorry, I'm not going through all of Ryo's/Keita's videos looking for one with him in it.

I've seen all of those (I know I have no life..). Jun isn't in them.

Jun has his parkour buddies While bada is correct that a lot know each other and have been friendly enough to train together.. they don't all train together. Geography alone separates a lot of them. Jun is also one of the youngest so that alone separates him from those who are much older than him and have been at Trials a heck of a lot longer.

Regardless, the main point was that he will probably train extensively for the UB considering that's where he failed.

If it was the first, then yeah, his run was worse.
