Intro

The fourteenth tournament, official name: SASUKE2005謹賀新年 (literally SASUKE 2005 Happy New Year), was the tenth tournament after Akiyama Kazuhiko's Kanzenseiha, and was the first tournament held during Winter.

In the First Stage, two new obstacles (Ensuitobi and Butterfly Wall) were added and the time limit was increased by 23 seconds to 103 seconds, the first time the limit on First Stage exceeded 100 seconds. This proved to be very lenient, as two competitors (Takeda Toshihiro and Nagano Makoto) cleared with at least 30 seconds left, and another three competitors (Ishikawa Terukazu, Yamaguchi Kosuke, and Yamamoto Shingo) cleared with more than 20 seconds left on the clock. In this tournament, Shiratori Bunpei officially became the sixth member of the SASUKE All-Stars. 14 competitors cleared the First Stage, the second most in the Second Era, only behind SASUKE 16 by two clears.

In the Second Stage, Metal Spin was introduced for the first time, replacing Gyakusō Conveyor from the previous tournament. The time limit was also reduced to 67 seconds. Although only four competitors failed in this stage, there were notable failures like Paul Hamm (who completed the stage in time, but forgot to hit the button) and Shiratori Bunpei (who lost his balance at the end of the Balance Tank, resulting in his head being hit by the tank). In the end, 10 competitors cleared Second Stage, doubled from the previous tournament.

In Third Stage, three new obstacles were added between Cliffhanger Kai and Pipe Slider, namely Jumping Bars, Climbing Bars (considered as part of Jumping Bars), and Devil Balanço‎ (considered as part of Pipe Slider), making the number of obstacles in the Third Stage go beyond five obstacles for the first time (and would never reduced to five again). The combination of those obstacles proved to be extremely difficult for competitors, as no one made it to Final Stage for the first time since SASUKE 10. For the first time ever, no one attempted the final obstacle of Third Stage.
