I voted for Lee because he's consistent and has as good a shot as anyone of beating the UCH.
edit: Okuyama would be my second choice because of his consistency and David would be my third because he's very strong in all stages.

I would really like to see Yuuji get far in the tournament this time. Which is why I'm going to be optimistic and say he will. Or Takeda.. but I can't vote for two.

Nagano is, at the moment, like a weapon who is broken and when repaired is a lean, mean, SASUKE machine, if he pulls himself together, he WILL make it the farthest.

I say Lee because he is very, very consistent and he is doing more obstacle training.

You gotta go with Li, unstoppable in the last three tournaments and nothing looks to stop him again.

Considering he hasn't missed out on stage 3 in the last 3 tournaments, and has overall been quite consistent, gotta go with Li. Either him or Okuyama.

I'm going out on a limb and saying David. He's strong, agile, fast, quick, athletic, and is smart, so he can adjust very well to any changes. Also, if you look how he did on his first try on the cliff hanger, will he was second best only to Li (by what, 1millimeter?). Also, Li has the unsolvable problem of age. He's 36 or 37 i believe, and will soon be passed his prime. I know there are special cases like Okuyama. But Li is a professional athlete, so his body is going to wear out quicker because of the constant toll. Do I think Li will do well? Yes. But I think David will be better. He's stronger, has better finger strength and is more athletic. And Younger, aswell.

He's stronger, has better finger strength and is more athletic. And Younger, aswell. What are you talking about? Li didn't even touch the third ledge in 25, but that was when the UCH was a brand new obstacle nobody had ever even dreamed of before. David had the time to replicate the UCH, and practice it to death before he even got back on SASUKE for an official attempt. So that was far from his "first attempt" on the obstacle. I'm pretty sure Li will go strong in the 2nd and 3rd stages for a while. The only part I'm worried about is his 1st stage abilities, especially considering how sloppy he was this time around. I think that's why he's got a plethora of First Stage related training tools in his new gym.

the UCH was also different than David's version. When you do something so many times, then it changes, it messes you up.
And Li has only failed the first stage once, 18. Unless there is a deadly new obstacle. Then he might.

If I remember, Li's 26 1st Stage was very sloppy

I'm going the wild card route and saying one of the new ANW qualifiers. I have my top 3 but in fear of jinxing them, I'm not going to say anything yet.

Well betting wise, other is the best choice because there are 85 other competitors. LOL
But if I were to pick one of those guys up there, it would be Lee. My 2nd choice out of what's available is surprisingly Tajima lol.
As for what I voted for.... I voted other. Either another ANW guys or maybe Ryo or on of Ryo's friends might come out of no where. Someone like Kishimoto or the other Uncli. I like those odds.

Hmmm... It's really tough to say... Lee and Okuyama have been the most consistent competitors (Of those two Lee has the advantage considering his job is more stage 3 oriented), But for most prepared it'd probably be David or Yuuji (and the other UNCLI guys but Yuuji is the one who has proven he can get to stage 3), Yuuji has been having mental problems on the course since he won (You'll notice he's nervous as hell at the start line at 25 and 26), David has the skills to get there too and pretty much destroyed the course up until stage 3 which I know he has to have been training for.
But yeah.. I'm not sure who to put down for the vote, I'm thinking Lee and David have the best shot at getting farthest but Yuuji and Okuyama definitely have the skills to set a record

And Li has only failed the first stage once, 18. Unless there is a deadly new obstacle. Then he might. Although I'd hate to see him break his consistency streak, I honestly could see Li timing out in Stage 1 since out of the 7 times he has cleared the stage, he's had less than 5 seconds left in all but one of them: Sasuke 17: clear (3.4 seconds left) Sasuke 18: failed Jumping Spider Sasuke 21: clear (4.06 seconds left) Sasuke 22: clear (2.61 seconds left) Sasuke 23: clear (3.36 seconds left) Sasuke 24: clear (4.13 seconds left) Sasuke 25: clear (14.29 seconds left) Sasuke 26: clear (1.32 seconds left) (NOTE: I didn't know these off hand, I just had them on a document ) Anyway, I voted for Nagano. My gut instinct tells me that in 27 he'll be due for another great run and be last man standing yet again. However, I could see a lot of these guys making it deep into the tournament, i.e. at least the UCH. They especially include David, Li, Okuyama, and Yuuji, though I think we'll see a few more as well.

I have a strange feeling that either Tajima or Kanno(maybe both) will break through their 25 and 26 performances and will go to the third stage.
It's a very hard prediction: -The most consistent 3rd stage competitors- Okuyama, Lee
-The most consistent first stage competitors- Takeda, Okuyama, Lee, Hashimoto, Brian Orosco, Levi(if he returns), Campbell(?), Steffensen(?)
-On and off-Yamamoto, Kanno
-Slump- Nagano, Tajima
-"I don't have a clue what to put him in" group- Yuuji, Kongu
I think: Nagano will fail stage 1; Tajima will pass stage 1; Kanno will pass; Yamamoto will pass; Kongu will fail; Yuuji will fail; Takeda will fail; Lee, Hashimoto, Okuyama and Brian will pass.
So in conclusion I think these people will do the best out of their group: All Stars- Yamamoto New Stars- Kanno Others(Lee, Kongu and Okuyama)- Kongu
The ones I'm not really sure about are Takeda, Yuuji and Tajima.
