Shachi is still insanely strong even though he lost against Arima. But I don't think he can beat current Kaneki. Arima spared him at the start, but in the end he didn't have any way to beat Kaneki and that's what Shachi will come to realize too if he fights current Kaneki. He can be more skilled, more talented, more composed and smarter, but eventually he'll realize that Kaneki adapts in a fight to a point where anything you try, is already obsolete. Shachi biggest shortcoming is his reflexes, he moves by certain pattersn and if Kaneki can figure that pattern out, Shachi is done for. His regen ability allows Kaneki more time to analyze and endure blows. Shachi doesn't have that luxury. Shachi also lacks creativity and flexibility and is very predictable once you figure out his pattern.

Shachi fights with a time-limit when facing Kaneki, he either kills him in the start of the fight or he just doesn't. That's how far Kaneki has grown in combat. His regen. together with his intelligence, allows him to get the upperhand with the passing of time.

My 2 cents, I might be giving Kaneki too much credit... :|
