Notable 2018 demos.

[Ancalagon]

2018 is almost over where I live and it's the time to look back at what speedruns have been done in this year, share your favorite demos of the year in this thread, any category, meme runs, (probably) TAS runs, etc. as long as you liked it.

 

Demos mentioned in the thread in no particular order:

Some other things that caught my attention:

Frog map 4 UV-Max in 12:20 by A7MAD (video).

UDoom ep 4 NM-Speed in 5:10 (6:20) by Andrew Martinez (KingMamba48) (someone with 2 demos on DSDA!) (video).

Swim with the Whales UV-Max full run in 35:52 by Killer5/MrZzul (video).

 

Surely my crowning (only?) achievement of the year: thissuxx map 17 Tyson in 31:21 (video).

TNT MAP20 NM100S in 3:17 by SAV88 (video). A lot of running was skipped thanks to Mr. Vile.

Really sorry, I came back this forum recently, so I am not familiar with remarkable achievement in 2018.

In recent demos, AV Map27 NM-Speed in 3:56 by SAV88. It was not only finishing an undone nightmare but also doing it with a fast time.

Also, Doom2 map15 true 100% secrets by Zero Master, though it was very famous one. It became a hot topic between Japanese doomers.

I'm sure everybody here can agree eternal doom tysons were the most significant addition to the doom demos repertoire.

Absolutely!  Outstanding dedication to those. Several of those were seemingly impossible and you somehow figured it out. Outstanding achievement!

 

There were also many runs by all of the top runners that were just outstanding.  It would be impossible to pick even a top three runs for this thread since were at least a dozen or more all year long.

 

We are really blessed to have so many extremely skilled runners in the forums right now.  Congratulations to you all.

TNT & Plutonia Nomo100 demopacks by Bob9001

TNT Solo-net demos by Bob9001

Thanks to everyone that posted demos and hope everyone has a great 2019 with speedrunning!!

Totally agree with these. MM2 map 25 on Nightmare is particularly impressive..

Also I add:

 

st702-105.zip Stardate20x7 map 2 by 0xf00ba12, really like the av jump

st707-551.zip Stardate 20x7 map 7 by 0xf00ba12, crazy cyb rocket at 4.45

an27-356.zip AV 27 Nigthmare! by SAV88 

as18-256.zip AV 18 Nigthmare! by SAV88

pa30x921.zip doom 2 map 30 pacifist TAS by ZeroMaster010, craziness!

 

Those are the first that come to mind, there are many like Searcher said (eg. mm2 mori demos by Xit-Vono or new Doom 2 records by j4rio), but not watched all so far

Some stellar demos have already been mentioned for minor works such as MM2, Doom 2, and Alien Vendetta, so I'll give a shout to all the demos for the prestigious Experiencing Nirvana, the brightest beacon of speedrunning crafted yet.
