POLLS CLOSE TOMORROW WEDNESDAY JANUARY 9 AT 12h00pm LAST DAY TO VOTE!




Another great tradition that has been dead for a couple of years, sadly. It's time for a new start and keep this great tradition alive!

2013 is about to start and it's time for a recap of the best WR of year 2012. People put a lot of efforts in the game this year and even if it sound crazy a great 45 secs!! got cut this year again including the great Investigation time cutter! These guys need some attention and congrats for their efforts!

Check out the list of WRs that have been accomplished this year. WRs without proof (can be added if proof is provided before the end of the poll), WRs that tied an untied from former years, or untieds that have been beaten by now, are left out of the list. I have linked any video I could find for each WR. What we want you to do, is to VOTE ON THREE DIFFERENT WORLD RECORDS. This will give us a more accurate view on what people consider to be the best world records from 2012. If we get a tie in the end, we can always get a poll up. This way prevents some incredible WRs from going undeservedly unnoticed because of one possible super-mega-uber WR.




Make your picks out of this list and vote!:

It would be cool if you'd give comments on your picks, but obviously thats not mandatory at all. Every vote will get one point, regardless of which you like most. We will make a poll in case of ties. Have fun everyone! You'll have around a week to get those votes in!

Based on the old 2009 Cara topic: http://elite.speedrunwiki.com/forum/index.php?topic=14198.msg306971#msg306971

VOTES!! AND BE SURE TO GO VOTE FOR THE BEST GE WR OF 2012: http://elite.speedrunwiki.com/forum/index.php?topic=18414.msg379658#new

I voted for:

Illu - Invest Agent 1:05: Great new strat and he did a thorough job setting a time that looks close to maxed. Can't ignore a 22 second cut!

Boss - Infil 1:40: Painful level, though the JAP version does get the shield. Nevertheless tweaked the strat nicely and I certainly wouldn't want to be the person trying to tie/beat it.

CEDRIC - Air Base PA 2:03: Anyone who has tried this level knows its up there with the most annoying in the game. Executed everything just about flawlessly, even strafing through flames to save precious tenths on a level where health is everything.

Overall a solid looking list, nice WR's this year guys!

[RWG]

I only voted for Institute PA 1:36 because GET UNTIEDS OR DIE TRYING

[50]

Illu 1:05 Sick time cutter/new strat. Can't vote
136 love the run 1st untied. Fav level.
Boss 311 breaking a 6 years standing untied is amazing

Again hands down to Clem 110/Taka untieds/CEDRIC 2:03/Boss Skedar Mauler strat etc. Sick PD untieds years, hard to choose best WRs.

[Wyst3r]

Infil 1:10 - Similarly to Chicago 14 this is just pure skill and perfection. Cutting a second where there's no second to cut. That's what speedrunning is all about.

My other pics were Invest 1:05 for obvious reasons and Skedar 1:05. All wr's in the list are fantastic though.

[RWG]

Lol I was wondering why Clemens only had 1 WR on that list, thinking his P2, Extraction, Villa, etc untieds were done this year.

Then I research and discover they were done in 2009 and 2010.

Shows how much I follow PD lol.

[Time was untied when set.]

I actually thought i got chicago 14 this year, LOL.
