The 19th Competition, official name: 新SASUKE2007秋 (literally Shin-Sasuke 2007 Fall), is the second tournament since Nagano Makoto's kanzenseiha in SASUKE 17. Preliminary trials were held in Muscle Park (one representative) and in the United States (two representatives). The course was vastly altered from SASUKE 18, and the results showed. The Flying Chute was particularly dangerous as only four out of the thirteen that attempted it cleared; it was also where notable competitors Nagano Makoto, Nagasaki Shunsuke, and Nagasaki Takamasa failed. Only 2 out of 100 people managed to beat the First Stage, the worst result in SASUKE history. Every obstacle in the First Stage was either modified to make it harder, or replaced outright with a harder obstacle. For the first time in Sasuke history, the last ten competitors (#91-100) failed. All 5 SASUKE All-Stars have failed the 1st Stage for the very first time ever. The two competitors that made it to the Second Stage both failed on the Salmon Ladder (one time-up and one failure), marking the earliest end of a SASUKE competition.
