Shunsuke's best possible results

[shunsukenumber98]

Here's my prediction of shunsuke's best possible results had there not been a BS stage and obstacles or freak accidents affecting his results and that he actually trained as much as he did from sasuke 29-33 in sasuke 36 onwards: 

29-Crazy cliff jump (if stage 2 wasn't a bloodbath) 
30-Same as 
31-Same as 
32-Same as 
33-Ultra crazy first transition 
34-Ultra crazy first transition (if the freak accident didn't happen) 
35-Planet Bridge (could see him fail here, not sure why...) 
36-Ultra crazy second transition (he would have gotten used to the first transition by now) 
37-Cliff dimension second transition or possible VL 
38-Wall lift timeout (if a speedster like Jun cleared with 3 seconds left, then I'm unconvinced that shunsuke, who is a lot more slower, could clear as well) 
39-Spinwinder or swing edge 
40-Cliff dimension first transition 

Really did wish he trains as much as he does considering he does still have some natural talent left in him.

There are many reasons Shunsuke doesn't train anymore that I can't really see being avoided.

Firstly, ever since he had a kid, he's not really been devoted to Sasuke compared to how he was before. I know we've had Yuuji, Hioki etc. still commit themselves despite having ever growing families, but it's obviously a personal choice in Shunsuke's case. We always have to remember that these competitors are people first with real lives, jobbers second, competitors third or even fourth, fifth, etc.

Secondly, he's been retired from sports for years. He was a pro athlete in his earlier years, then became a fitness coach, and is now pretty much a full-time removals company worker, which is obviously not as conducive to athletics as prior, and probably leaves him a lot less time and flexibility to train.

Thirdly, he obviously had his brother's health issue (stroke?) a few years back, so he's probably looking after his brother during recovery as strokes are pretty rough long-term.

I also think to a certain extent he's kind of "out grown" Sasuke, which feels weird to say given that we have competitors in their 40s still going strong, but it was clearly something he was passionate about as a teenager, got back into it temporarily after his athletic career ended and he needed something else to satisfy that itch, but now with his career and family that drive just isn't there anymore.

Let's also not forget that he's not exactly had the best experience either, TBS infamously have "issues" with his management company, and he's not really treated as a serious competitor through the edits etc. anymore.

Assuming absolute best case scenario and he did continue to train I'd say:
29-32: agree with you
33: Flying Bar
34: Sidewinder
35: Planet Bridge
36: Ultra Crazy first transition
37: CHD first transition
38: Reverse Conveyer
39: Wall Lift
40: Wall Lift

Given that all of his Stage 2 clears since his comeback were with slower times (the slowest in both 32 and 33), and the fact he's a bigger competitor, I can definitely imagine the addition of the log and lower time limit really slowing him down and causing timeouts, as he's not particularly fast on the Spider Walk either. Even during his prime, he didn't really practice the Cliffhanger transitions a whole lot either, and his weight would definitely work against him, like it did with competitors like Ragivaru.
