SASUKE 2 (officially,「SASUKE1998秋」) was the second SASUKE tournament, held in 1998. It was the first tournament held outdoors, at TBS Midoriyama Studios. This is also Akiyama Kazuhiko's first tournament. Because of his record setting performance on Kinniku Banzuke's Quick Muscle event, he was given start position #100.

Summary
While there were no changes made to the First Stage (except for the time limit, which was reduced by 10 seconds), an amazing 34 competitors cleared (which was the largest number of First Stage completion at that time until SASUKE 4), including the first woman to do so, Tanabe Chie (she was the only woman to do that until 19 years later, Jessie Graff became the second woman to finish the First Stage in SASUKE 34).

While there were also no changes in the Second Stage, only nine competitors cleared. The Pipe Slider made its debut here and remained a Third Stage staple until SASUKE 17. Two competitors reached the Final Stage, however nobody achieved kanzenseiha once again.
