Intro
The 16th Competition, official name: SASUKE2005冬 (literally SASUKE 2005 Winter) was the third and final tournament held in 2005. Officially, it was the only tournament to have the "winter" label. In the First Stage, three new obstacles were introduced, the Rokudantobi, Rope Reverse and Reverse Fly. Also, for the first time ever, there was a time limit difference for competitors in First Stage, as normal competitors are given 100 seconds to complete it, while under 18, over 50, and/or female competitors are given 105 seconds to complete it (which happened again in SASUKE 32). However, the success of this tournament was the best since Akiyama Kazuhiko's kanzenseiha in SASUKE 4 with an incredible 16 people clearing, including 8 consecutive clears from #89 to #96. However, in the Second Stage, the results were mixed. The redesigned Metal Spin took out 7 out of the 16 people and the field was cut in half to eight. In the Third Stage, the Devil Balanço was finally beaten by both Yamada Koji and Shiratori Bunpei. At 38, Bunpei became the oldest competitor to go the furthest out of all the 100 competitors, surpassing Yamada Katsumi in SASUKE 10 at 36. This was the only time Shiratori made it the furthest of the All-Stars. However, for a third straight tournament, no one made it to the Final Stage.
