Intro[]
The 6th Competition, official name: SASUKE2000秋 (literally SASUKE 2000 Fall) is the second tournament after Akiyama Kazuhiko's kanzenseiha and the first tournament that he competed in since then.
In the First Stage, the first 82 competitors failed, a record which still stands until today. The Jump Hang was particularly deadly, eliminating over 50 competitors. Hatakeda Yoshiaki was the first competitor in history to reach the top support of the Jump Hang and did that with both of his hands. He eventually went on to be the first competitor to clear the First Stage that day. Yamamoto Shingo, who went the furthest in SASUKE 5, unexpectedly failed at the Rolling Maruta. This tournament also saw the return of Akiyama Kazuhiko, but he surprisingly failed at the Jump Hang, which would start a series of First Stage failures that would last until SASUKE 11.
The First and Third Stages remained unchanged, but the Second Stage added the Narrow, which replaced the Tackle Machine. All five who cleared the First Stage ended up advancing to the Third Stage, making it the first tournament to have a 100% Second Stage completion rate.
In the Third Stage, 3 out of 5 competitors (Takeda Toshihiro, Shane Kosugi, and Kane Kosugi) failed at the Body Prop, and Hatakeda Yoshiaki failed at the Cliffhanger. The best performance was by Yamada Katsumi, who failed at the Pipe Slider, as he reached the landing mat but tipped to the side and fell off.
