It's crazy the pace at which the demos keep coming. It's like 2000 all over again (not quite though, but you get the point). It's our most profilic year since 2009 with a current count of 163 demos. Keep it up guys!
Finally got the
Other Demos section fully operational again. It's been inactive for close to 10 years or so.
Just a short explanation for the uninitiated of what exactly these somewhat different endeavours in Quake are:
Cheated Runs: Run through the maps with full ammo + all weapons + Godmode. You can do Runs and you can do 100% on both skill 0 and 3. QdQstats for Cheated runs can be found here.
Naked Runs: You have NO weapons, but you do have full ammo. The key here is you need to kill as many monsters as possible. Let's use an example: The current record for the Naked Easy 100% on e1m3 is 9 kills out of 31 in a time of 5:58. If you could somehow get 10 kills out of 31 that would be the new record no matter if your time is slower. Kills are what matters. QdQstats for Naked runs can be found here.
Careful Runs: You start with only 1 health and all health crates have been removed. Only Easy Runs are accepted for this category. QdQstats for Careful runs can be found here.
Coop Runs are accepted for all three categories.
There's also some old assorted tricks and egg demos if you're into that kinda stuff. Feel free to send in demos if you have anything unusual laying around that would be fun to watch.
And then there's the Bunny Comparison of course on which we've received a handful of demos since the last update. I also found a couple of runs on Speedrun.com which I added to the tables.
Crashfort is the new king of 100m with this crazy 09.70. Redc takes 3rd place with 09.92. Michael Eskelinen takes 16th with 10.37, Fodder takes 18th with 10.38, Mattias Öman takes 32nd with 10.82, and PintoBeans takes 55th with 12.11.
Michael Eskelinen takes 17th on e1m1 with 23.40, 21st on e1m6 with 9.99, and 15th on e2m1 with 7.94.
Ryan Moore improves on his 1st place on e4m5 with this 10.80. Redc takes 2nd with 10.89 and Michael Eskelinin takes 14th with 12.13.

Comparing the Bunnies
We have our first batch of
Bunny Comparison demos in quite a while! I think the last comparison demo we had dates back 10 years or so. Let's dig right into it shall we.
Petar 'praskOo' P. moves into 2nd place on 100m with this 09.98, just 0.12 shy of Jason's time. Mattias Öman takes 34th place with 0:11.23.
By now we've all seen Conny 'Jukebox' Wernersson's recordbreaking e1m1 in 0:19.96 which moves him ahead of the field into a much deserved 1st place. Petar 'praskOo' P. takes 2nd place WITHOUT using the barrelboost in a time of 0:21.07. Damian ' Ankh' Kulot takes 21st place with 0:24.49 and Mattias takes 26th with 0:24.81.
Ryan 'Chambers' Moore smoked the rest of the competition on e2m1 with this 0:07.23 moving him into 1st spot. So close to that illusive 0:06! Mattias got 34th place with 0:08.35.
Ryan again left everyone else in the dust with this 0:10.91 on e4m5 giving him 1st place. Mattias took 26th spot with 0:13.22.
That's all for now folks.

Attack of the Oldies
Seems like I wasn't the only "oldie" to crawl out of his cave recently... The recent excitement from
e1m1 0:19 has brought several runners out of 10+ years of retirement and a new flood of demos awaits:
NOTE: I promised in the last update I would do my best to add video links to all/most of the new runs, but unfortunately that idea has hit a snag. I've been having issues capturing the demos, so until I find a workable solution I'm afraid we'll have to do with demo files for most of the runs. Sorry.
Let's kick this giant update off with some amazing ID and Mission Pack runs courtesy of Petar 'praskOo' P.:
I did a rather mediocre ID demo:
Next up we have
Mattias Öman who has been on an absolute tear through the custom maps! Here's all his demos in no particular order:
Mattias' brother
Jonny Andersson also ventured out of his mancave and produced four demos:
Another runner to come out of retirement is
Damian 'Ankh' Kulot:
And finally we have
Michael "goomba" Eskelinen:
Now that we're on the topic of old runners/demos, it seems there's only
one demo left from 1998 that still stands (unless you also take the "unbeatable" demos into consideration). That's the Easy 100% of
gren - Grenades in
0:07 by
Aleksander Osipov. Can anyone beat this? I also suspect some of the old demos that we've labelled "unbeatable" can be broken... Some of them dates back to '98 and bunnyhopping/new tricks/techniques have come a long way since then. Take a look at the whole list
here (scroll down to the bottom for the unbeatables list). NOTE: It was pointed out to us that there's demos on the "unbeatable" list that are actually older than most of the demos on the "oldest demos" list. Confusing I know! This was a "design choice" back in the day when these pages were first created.

Spring Cleaning
Just a little service annoncement:
I've fixed some broken links in the menu, and generally cleaned up the page a bit (with help from Radix). Still a lot to fix, I know.
- The Bunny Comparison page is up and running again. Hooray!
- The All maps in the archive download link has been updated with all the current 381 maps (not counting the official iD and mission packs though). Also note that all the maps have been revised for transparent water.
- The All demos in the archive download link has also been updated to contain every demo made between July 1996 and September 2019. Currently it sits at 11056 demos in total. That's quite a staggering number. Note that you need Dzip page to extract these demos.
- The "All current ID records" links have also been updated to contain all the latest groundbreaking records. Dzip version here and Zip version here.
...or you could just head on over to the
Downloads page and grab everything you need from there.

Hi!
Guess who's back to SDA updating duties. I dropped off the radar for a long time, but seeing all those new speedrunners kicking major butt on the original id levels made me want to get back into speedrunning. To celebrate the occasion I recorded two demos. Those are my first demos in 8½ years, and a whopping 20 (!) years since my first demo on SDA.
- Nightmare Run of e3m7 in 0:46 (video link), 2 seconds faster than my previous demo. I took advantage of the ultra rare "Houdini" Ogre bug/glitch to shave off those 2 seconds. Note: There's a run on Speedrun.com by Elias "Elgu" Solla that's one second slower than my new demo, but for some reason it was never submitted to SDA (or maybe it was, but someone forgot to post it).
- Nightmare 100% of e3m7 in 1:49 (video link), 3 seconds faster than my previous demo. Spent quite a while on this, but never got a demo I was satisfied with. It can be done lots faster of course if it wasn't for the volatile nature of the map, but I'm fed up with it for now.
Here's a
zip link of both demos.
The official SDA Quake Speedrunning YouTube channel is up and running again. I'll try my best to have a video available for all new demos posted on SDA unless it's some mammoth marathon run or some other crazy shit. For future updates, it would be totally wicked if you along with your demo could submit a link to a video of that demo. I'll try my best to encode videos for the demos we receive, but if you're capable of doing videos of your own that'd be a HUGE help!
There's a handful more demos in the queue, but I'll save those for the next demo update :-)
Expect a steady flow of updates the next couple of days/weeks.
