I'm voting Yuuji. He's trained the hell out of that obstacle.

Obviously Yuuji. Second choice would be Nagano&Kouji. Let's not forget about Ryo though, if he gets to Stage 3 he'll pwn everything before the UCH and the UCH itself. As for after the cliffhanger, who knows.

Yuuji by a long shot. Next would be Lee or Hashimoto. Both of thier attemps in 25 were pretty promisin gconsidering they have never seen the thing before.

I think Yuuji, then Nagano. Just gonna throw this name out though; Tajima. Remember in 24, how he cleared the ascending climb and transitioned to the spider flip?

I say the most likely to complete is the most likely to get there meaning Yuuji. Followed by a Nagano, Lee, Kongu, Koji, Takeda and Okuyama.
Now if we started fresh from stage 3 I'd say Yuuji, Tajima, Nagano, Ryo, Kishimoto, Koji, Kongu and Lee.

Yuuji is definitely my top choice. He's UNCLI #3 for a reason, after all. Nagano, Kouji, Li, and Tajima IMO are all about tied for second from what we've seen out of them in-competition and training when involving anything exactly like/similar to the Cliffhanger in general. I could see any one of these 5 guys having a pretty good chance at clearing the UCH in 26 and beyond considering they get there. Takahashi, Kanno, and Okuyama would be next in order for the people listed. As for "someone else", Ryo and Kishimoto would certainly have a good chance as well...if they got there, that is. Neither's even cleared Stage 1 yet, and having to qualify just to compete isn't helping either of them. Of the Americans, David's probably most likely to do so, followed by Levi and Brian (those IMO either of them doing so in 26 at least is a long shot, sorry guys ). The only other notable competitors that I can even see reaching the UCH for now are Takeda, Yamamoto, and possibly Jun Sato. Unfortunately, Yamamoto is almost certainly doomed on the UCH (he never even beat the 9-17 version, which was a walk in the park compared to this one), Jun Sato is still working on improving his upper-body/endurance enough (as we sort of saw in his Stage 2 profile/run in Sasuke 25), and Takeda seems to have shown endurance troubles, especially on Stage 3, in the more recent tournaments (which is very sad since it makes me think that his chances of reaching the Final Stage are now lower than ever ).

Like I said Only Nagano can do it closely followed by Yuuji if anyone does it - will be one of those two! The others prob not this time but will in future.

I can see Yuuji doing it easily. However David has shown a great deal of promise on his replica, so f he were to make it that far, I wouldn't be surprised to see him monster it. As far as all stars go... Nagano I'm iffy on, he's a total beast yeah, but I'm not sure if he would have as much experience as some of the other competitors, plus he has to make it first. Takeda is a long shot but I could see it happening. I wouldn't back any of the others however..

Please...let's just be honest here. It's going to take something pretty damn special to get to the 3rd stage and then pass the UCH. I don't expect anyone to do it, but I hope that someone can prove me wrong.

Well, to a lot of people the UCH is playground equipment, look how many replicas are out there.
That will greatly increase the number of possible clears.

The replica building phase has taken some of the fair challenge away. The UltimateCH to me seems like it was made to be hard even for people who trained daily on replicas. In essence, these kinds of challenges make it so you have to have a replica to train on in order to stand a chance, which kind of ruins it for me. It used to be better in the first four tournaments, everyone stood a chance before and you wouldn't have to make the show your life in order to complete it.
