Well I didn't know this was a thread, so here goes the resident "luck runner". Billa mentioned E2M8... ZM mentioned Tatsurd's ridiculous double avj save at the end of a near 3 hour run... (btw never looked that the ending of that till now. This might actually be the luckiest run of all time) Haste 10 Pacifist has yet to be mentioned, so here it is. So Meowgi was grinding this run and attempting to run it as UV-speed on stream by shooting the vile. Rayziik comes along and stream snipes the run and gets an exit so insane that Meowgi literally stopped streaming runs, and the famous "HE STOLE!" meme was born. In the run, the cyber fires a rocket as Rayziik is running at perfect timing. A chaingunner starts attacking and accidentally hits the vile on the pillar, triggering his pain state. A moment later the rocket kills the chaingunner, leaving no target for the vile.... except Rayziik who has now rounded the tower and has started shooting at the vile to try to trigger a pain state. He never actually hits the vile, and gets his jump and exit, making this run pacifist to boot. Its actually nuts. has10p0866 (2).zip For my own runs, I was just talking to Billa about this yesterday. Out of the countless rng based luck runs I've done, there's two that stand out to me beyond e2m8. 1. TNTThree map 7 UV-speed. I always like to give a hat tip to this map for its creative and unique use of the IoS. The icon spawns 3 monsters at a time, and the intended strategy is to kill 4 arachno's to raise the platform 4 times and then exit. In this run, I was able to get 3 arachno's to cycle in a row leading to the fastest possible raise of 3 platforms. The very next spawn, was a vile (1.7% chance I believe, so even with 3 spawns this is roughly a 1/20 chance). I lower the platform which has only been raised 3 times, and AVJ out of the arena to save time on the last arachno cycle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqeuetAnEMg 2. Frog and Toad map 3 UV-speed. I was trying to use the same strat that lucky_edie used in his run, but to do the platforming a little faster and stand on a pillar which created a tighter angle for the ball to hit the vile. The Baron never stops moving from the time I trigger him at the start, and the very first ball he shoots before even turning the corner hits the vile. The angle is so tight on the shot from the baron, that the ball actually appears to clip through part of the wall. From there, I have fairly poor luck in triggering a vile jump as early as possible, but the sheer luck of the baron rng makes me believe this might be my hardest "luck run" to beat. (Even with losing nearly 3 seconds to the vile target) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DySMg_C48lE

Another phenomenal year for all of the speedrunners and a congratulations to all that contributed to the over 14,000 demos that were submitted this year. As far as demos that stood out to me: -Have to start with @Kinetic with his lv02m055. It was a good fight at the end of last year between him and Looper until Kinetic clearly lost his mind and dove head first into the mud. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was still running that from time-to-time for "fun" but not streaming attempts. -While he was only around for about a week, @RoadrunnerKZSK left his mark after a 3-year absence with lv24p032, and while it was merely a tic-beat it was great to see an improvement from someone just "passing through" our little community. I look forward to 2024 with the hope that someone takes up the challenge to put the first 31 on the board. -There were a ton of runs already mentioned in the Cacowards, however through what I must assume is an overabundance of humbleness, @Billa decided not to note her own incredible accomplishment of a new second barrier break on lv16p010. For those that want to see what a flawless glide looks like, check it out. -I cannot go any further without mentioning @Dogmachine and the incredible back and forth we had on Sunlust 14 Stroller. What began as a cute little AVJ when it was 17 seconds, quickly turned into an epic grind that saw the record change hands 9 times over a couple months, and left it sitting at 12.74 seconds. Dogmachine does not note the attempt count, but my efforts to get the first 12.94 took a total of about 4500 attempts. I have put in a further 3000 trying to take that one back. -During the bingo competition late in the year, @Ravendesk and I were set on a collision course as teammates attempting to beat a time laid down by @kmc on Haste 07. @4shockblast had "blessed" this route by finding a completely terrible SR50 AVJ, which ultimately lead to a corpse slide under the exit bars. Raven ultimately came out on top with a 21.51 and secured the tile for our team. Of my own runs that I'm proud of or that are unique, there are only a few of the 200 I put in worth mentioning: -For anyone that knows me, platforming is the bane of my existence. That said, when you add an arch vile and make the map roughly 30 seconds long the scenario changes. Frog and Toad Map 3 in UV-Speed was held by @Lucky_Edie for a long time but I thought the time could be pushed further with a faster AVJ. Little did I know the biggest time save was from the earliest possible vile aggro and ultimately led to an 8 second improvement with ft03-23 after over 1500 attempts. Following this I crafted a way to be able to UV-Max this level despite the intended route being a straight forward AVJ exit. The UV-Max would require not only damaging the Vile enough from the HK to be able to kill him with a pistol, but also triggering enough retaliatory attacks from the vile at a distance greater than 1024 to be able to finish the hell knight after the vile is dead. Mission accomplished with one of my longest demos and a rare max in ft03m444. -At the beginning of the year I found a cute little map set called 10m and went on to submit over a dozen demos for it. All of the maps were short and I had been looking for a movie run to do this year and ultimately settled on this one. Not a ton of tech in the run but I feel it is still pretty solid, and the last map does have an AVJ for a significant time save. After 2+ years in the community, my first ever movie run is 10 Monsters in 4:08 -Last run worth talking about in detail is d5da05m005 simply because of the absurdity of everything that happened. This is a very short map with a vile on one side of the room, a cyber on the other side next to the exit switch, and a bfg on a ledge that you can avj to. What happens in this run: 0.54s target from the vile AVJ and early weapon swap to get BFG out faster. Max damage (800) BFG ball fired at vile (kills vile) Get behind the cyber for first ball tracers to hit while simultaneously shooting second ball Turn and press exit switch on same frame the second BFG tracers kill the cyber It's a stupid nonsensical run, but unless you can TAS a way to get a faster vile target, I actually don't think there's a way to save a single tic on this.
