Intro[]

The 20th Competition, official name: 新SASUKE2008春 第20回記念大会 (literally Shin-Sasuke 2008 Spring 20th Anniversary Tournament), is the third tournament since Nagano Makoto's kanzenseiha in SASUKE 17, and the twentieth SASUKE tournament (not to be confused with SASUKE 33 and SASUKE 34, which were held to commemorate its 20th anniversary since the inception of SASUKE). This is the first SASUKE tournament to be broadcasted in High-resolution aspect ratio.

Preliminary trials were held before this tournament. The SASUKE 20 Trials had four representatives and the United States had three. To commemorate this historic tournament, the numbering system went from #1901-#2000, similar to SASUKE 10.

Despite the course being almost identical to SASUKE 19 (with a few minor changes), only 3 out of 100 competitors managed to beat the First Stage, the second worst in SASUKE history (along with SASUKE 5). Many competitors failed at the Jumping Spider and Half Pipe Attack.

In the Second Stage, the results were mixed. Okuyama Yoshiyuki failed at the Stick Slider, when his pipe got disconnected from the tracks. Levi Meeuwenberg had a bit of trouble in the Wall Lifting, as his foot got injured by getting it stuck on the third wall, but he cleared the stage with an amazing 38.5 seconds left, a SASUKE record. The second competitor to achieve kanzenseiha, Nagano Makoto, shocked many when he failed at the very first obstacle, the Downhill Jump. This result also shared with SASUKE 5, with only one competitor cleared the Second Stage.

The Last Man Standing of this tournament, Levi Meeuwenberg, failed at the Shin-Cliffhanger. This run made him the second American to be the Last Man Standing in a SASUKE tournament (after Kane Kosugi in SASUKE 8).
