If Jun Sato had competed from 26 to 31

[ItalianNinja08]

If Sato never took the famous 6 tournament hiatus (that was vital to make him the competitor he's today) which results he would have achieved? I gonna say:

26: Rolling Escargot, Metal Spin or Ultimate Cliffhanger (4th ledge)
27: Wall Lift timeout or Ultimate Cliffhanger (transition to 5h ledge)
28: Crazy Cliffhanger (180 transition)
29: Backstream or Passing Wall time out 
30: Crazy Cliffhanger (180 transition)
31: Crazy Cliffhanger (180 transition) or Vertical Limit (transition to 2nd ledge)

Hmm, not sure if im quick to assume he would time out in sasuke 27 and 29, as even before his infamous break, Sato never had problem with speed. I can see him timing out in 29, but im more oppotamistic of him not timing out in 29. But that's just my guess lol. But here would be my prediction:

sasuke 26: Ultimate cliffhanger (4th ledge), he likely would be better on Sri Ledang by then
sasuke 27: Ultimate cliffhanger (5th ledge), there wasn't much changes to sasuke 27's stage 2 so Im oppotamistic he pass it
sasuke 28: crazy cliff hanger (180 transition)
sasuke 29: passing wall time out (third wall) or crazy cliff hanger (180 transition)
sasuke 30: crazy cliff hanger (180 transition), or vertical limit or, at the very very very best, final stage rope climb. (reason for this is that VL us easier this time and that there were no stoppers on PL)
sasuke 31: crazy cliffhanger (180 transition) or vertical limit (transition to second ledge)

26: I'm guessing Metal Spin because he was kinda bad on Stage 2 back when was a teen.
27: Cliffhanger (3rd to 4th) transition
28: Yeah Crazy
29: Backstream?
30: Crazy again
31: Crazy yet again

26: Rolling Escargot (New obstacle, plus he failed the log grip too so it would make sense)
27: Wall Lift (DSL-UB would decimate his time, as well as the reductions for 27)
28: Crazy Cliffhanger (Just can't see him failing stage 1 or 2)
29: Backstream (At this rate, he would be a member of the Shin Sedai so would receive a high number, thus making him attempt one of the tougher varients, as well as his speed on the Swap Salmon Ladder- Unstable Bridge combo not being great)
30: Crazy Cliffhanger (Again, can't see him failing Stages 1 or 2)
31: SL Kuldari (New obstacle, as well as upper body not exactly being his number 1 talent, so I can see him failing this. I'm assuming that he trained replicas before coming back in 32.)

26: Wall Lift or Metal Spin. As a parkour athlete who's used to flips, left right centre, I couldn't see him failing the Escargot, but he also had trouble with time on Stage 2. I'd assume he'd clear the Unstable Bridge this time, but I think he'll eat too much time up on the Salmon Ladder to be able to clear.

27: Wall Lift or Ultimate Cliffhanger. Could possibly time out again due to the 5 second reduction, but he'd also be more experienced and older, so clearing wouldn't be out of the question. Upper body and especially grip strength has never been his strong suit so even with the nerfed first half of Stage 3, I'd see him failing at best the third transition. No way would he have reached the same point as Nagano on the obstacle.

28: Swap SL or Crazy Cliffhanger. the former because this was considerably the hardest variant and one he never attempted, and given his troubles with the previous variants he could potentially fail here. If he passes it though then he's clearing Stage 2 due to the rest of the course being piss easy, and inevitably then failing the Cliffhanger.

29: Backstream if he gets the OP jets, Backstream or Passing Wall if he doesn't. No way is he beating that Stage 2 in time.

30-31: Crazy Cliffhanger. Nothing that could really stop him in either tournaments Stages 1 or 2.
