This seems to be about the time when a chain of laid back threads are made to discuss certain things regarding the anticipated Sasuke tournament approaching.
So I'll be personally taking the liberty of making the first one.
The title of this thread says it all, so let's begin. (Note: My predictions are pretty much based on Sasuke 29's course, since we don't have confirmation on the majority of 30's obstacles. Although it's highly unlikely that there won't be any new changes, I doubt the course will be that different from 29's)
Nagano:
I'm 99.999% sure he's getting #3000. I also sincerely predict he'll make it to the 3rd Stage, specifically the Crazy Cliffhanger. The only obstacle I could see him struggling with is the Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe. He's also perfectly built for the 2nd Stage. The Swap Salmon Ladder, Spider Walk, and Backstream shouldn't be any problem for this speedy fisherman. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to clear the Ultimate Cliffhanger in 27, so I can't see him passing the Crazy Cliffhanger, especially since it would be his first try against in competition.
Yamada:
I see them giving him an undeserved high number since it's a memorial tournament, probably something like 2998. (Yes, I think Yuuji will get 2999. I also understand Yusuke will be getting a high number, but I see him getting something around 2995, with Kanno and Asa retaining their numbers from last time) As for Yamada's actual result... he's not clearing the Long Jump. It anyone wants to bet against me, go for it.
Shingo:
He did well last time, but after watching his performance in ANW5, I could see him pulling a fluke early on. So I predict his feet skimming the water on the Jump Hang Kai. Pretty specific, I know. But he's don't it before, and in 29 his feet weren't that far away from making the same mistake as he was crossing the cargo net. If that doesn't happen, I could see him failing the Passing Wall or Iron Paddler, but I'll go with the Jump Hang for now. As for his number, something in the low 90's.
Takeda:
I'm pretty confident he'll clear Stage 1 this time. It's possible he'll go out on the Swap Salmon Ladder, but my gut tells me the Cliffhanger will be his doom. I honestly see many people making it to the 3rd Stage this time anyway. Number, eh, low 90's like Shingo.
Bunpei:
I'd say his result is even harder to predict than Shingo's. Unlike Yamada, he can clear the Long Jump. If he were to fail Stage 1, it'd have to be either the second wall or a time out at the end of the stage. I'm gonna say he times out right before the Final Climb. No idea on what number he gets.

I think Nagano may actually clear the CCH if he gets there. I think there was a picture of him doing it at a festival, but I'm not sure if he cleared it. Iirc he never practiced the UCH before attempting it in 27. I'd be more worried about the Vertical Limit and the Pipe Slider, well, I think he could still do it. Depends on his endurance though.
Yamada, if he gets to the wall, will most likely fail it, but ya never know with him. I think he'll pass the long jump, to be fair.
Shingo SHOULD get to stage 2 again and, if they made it fair, I think he'd make it to Stage 3. CCH will likely be his end, but maybe the Iron Paddler could give him trouble too (though part of me thinks he'll either struggle whilst laughing at himself or casually beast it)
Takeda, sigh, I dunno what's happened with him lately, but if he gets it together, I think he'll make it to the CCH. No idea if he'll pass that.
Bunpei I see having a tragic first stage fail for some reason. Bad feeling about the long jump (ironically), Jump Hang and Warped Wall. I doubt he'll have the stamina to make it through tbh.

I think the most hilarious thing is that the two tournaments that barring the long jump, Yamada skipped, had two of the easiest 1st stages in recent history. Think about it.

Nagano: 3rd stage crazy cliff hanger
Shingo: 2nd stage time out at the passing walls
Takeda: 3rd stage crazy cliff hanger
yamada: Kanzenseiha!!!!! just kidding lol. i honestly think he will get past the long jump and time out at the Soritatsu Kabe again
bunpie: first stage Ni Ren Soritatsu Kabe

I can see Nagano, Takeda, and even Shingo at least getting past the 1st stage. Yamada well... Sorry but I can only see him failing either the Jump Hang Kai or just run out of steam at the soritatsu kabe. Shiratori is really up in the air... but I'd say he'll just run out of time close to the button.
For Nagano, Takeda, and Shingo? Well for Takeda I'm worried he's going to end up failing the swap salmon ladder but if not then the backstream...
Nagano will easily clear stage 2 but then fail the crazy cliffhanger... IDK did he ever see it? Oh and as for Shingo I can see him getting to the crazy cliffhanger too... can't say where he'll end up...

I definitely see Shingo going the farthest now he is the only All-Star thet competed in BOTH ANW USA vs JAPAN and ASEAN OPEN CUP. Fortunately, I see Yamada CLEARING the Long Jump, HE'S 175 cm FOR GODS SAKE! I actually can see him going further than he did in 28 somehow. I think the big question is will Bunpei's age show. I saw the pictures AND HE LOOKS LIKE HE DIDN'T AGE AT ALL AND HE'S 46, so will it be back injury or his long legs? Even though Takeda is the youngest All-Star, to me he looks like the one aging the fastest idk why. I think his age has really costed him in 28 and 29.  Last but greatest, MY MAN, NAGANO!!! We all love him, but something JUST tells me #3000 is Yuuji, and he will still be the oldest person to clear Stage 2, at 42. |

That's what I was thinking too! Shingo is still quite young so I'm expecting him to go quite far unless he screws up somewhere... He seems to fail in ways no one else can...

I wouldn't be surprised if they all failed the first stage. I think one will clear though.

If anyone of the allstars are going to make it I'm putting my hopes on Shingo and Takeda. Nagano as well since I can see him destroying stage 2!

Well Nagano has a high chance to get to the 3rd stage, but even if he makes it pass CCH, i think that Vertical limit would be too much. Yamada.... in case he does not screw the Long jump I think he will fail at Hedgehog (remember those Cross bridge dissasters?) Akiyama would had a better chace to clear 1st stage  Shingo: 2nd stage timeout due to Backstream ( please remove it finally ) Takeda: If he makes it pass Swap salmon ladder, he is gonna end up on CCH probably. Shiratori: The most unknown for me. I hope he will not end up hurting himself somewhere on the track. He has the skill but time will be a great enemy for him. (if he cleared he would be the eldest competitor to beat 1st stage) |

Bunpei may be one of the oldest, but it's kind of cool to think that he is the only all star to have technically never officially retired from the show.

Technically you're right and I'm thinking Shingo WILL pass the backstream since either, he's trained for that, the backstream is easier, or both! Shiratori I hope makes it past stage one and if he does well... who knows where he'll end up.

Shingo will be the first competitor (#2901) and wow everyone by cruising to the goal. Just before he reaches the button however, he trips on the carpet, stumbles, and falls into the water. Takeda then cracks up, and Nagano calls him a 'baka'
Bunpei will fail the Long Jump, making everyone else uncomfortable and causing many awkward convosations
Yamada will start to massive cheers at the start of his run, as he fails the long jump as well
Takeda will make it to the Pipe Slider, prepared for round 4. Due to being nervous, he has a few cigarettes to calm his nerves, and is completely out of breath when he has to make the jump. 4-0
Nagano will make it to the final, where he will give he final tower an intense glare so powerful, it shrinks in fear. He easily achieves kanzenseiha due to the new tower height being 7 feet

I'll save my own predictions/rationale until 2D2Will's guessing game begins. |
