Luke - IMO by far the best this year. Went from 1 WR to 6, and improving faster than I've ever seen before. Gets WW top runs out of nowhere with little to no experience and follows a robotic sleep schedule, which is probably the secret to his success.

Blaze - Crazy runs out of nowhere, improving GV2 to 52.7, BCWii glitch to 2:09.3 and MG to 1:41.2 Pushes a lot of WRs closer to their limits.

Justin - Incredibly all round, can pretty much play any category at regs/WW tops level. Most impressive AF gain this year? Also breaking CTs for days. A true innovator of the game, also broke Bean's longest even WR reign on WGM. Made the first 2/3 on MT glitch. Glitchscrubs all around the globe love this man.

Sosis - Countless WW tops, MMM WR and rSL sub 2:04. Pretty crazy stuff, really improved during the year. Also his AF gain has been pretty good.

Jascha - Probably the best comeback in years? He's grinded a lot of tracks and got WW on most of them. Incredible and a very underrated player. One of the all time best for sure and 2018 might have even been his best year in terms of improvement.

Luke - Doesn't really need an explanation

Justin - beat the longest WR rein, got rDH, implemented a new glitch

Blaze - One of the best players in the world, improved all his wrs and is currently battling for GV ng

Ace - cooled down recently when he (Quit MKW) but at the beginning of the year was getting shit pretty quickly, beat Totom on rWS, subbed CM, held KC briefly

Emil - He set so many world records this year (my favorite being lava road!) ive been a huge fan of him on Troy's channel as he is winning the race to 9999 vr!

1. Luke - Common sense
2. Blaze - 12 WRs total this year,(6 unique tracks). Plus that insane .7 gv2 no glitch
3. Justin - If anybody has been paying attention, if he doesn't slow down, he can get #1 AF for both combined + nonsc
4. Jascha - 6 WRs this year, amazing 455 rDKJP no glitch WR. now rDKJP WR is strong as f**k
5. Braixen - insane cut on combined AF, now 13th overall. 7 WRs this year

My vote goes to David without a doubt - When the year started, I actually had better AF than him (with 133 in #95) and now he's in the top 10 with his first WR on a no glitch track. He's an incredible player who's made an insane cut this year and an even bigger load of potential. Vote for him

Other close nominees - Justin, Luke, Jascha and Sosis

Luke - several wrs/taking to tracks quick af
Blaze - set some incredible wrs notably imo a .7 on GV2
Ace - Despite ‘retiring’ he had an incredible start to the year taking two records that will probably stand for a very long time
Liam - Mr. Consistent, setting several WRs every single year
Sosis - two terrific WRs, including a legendary sub on rSL

Honourable mentions for Justin, David, Jascha, Braixen, Guy and Connor Smiley

Luke - Absolutely killed it this year his his WRs on several tracks

Justin - beat Bean on WGM did the first 2/3 on MT also set a ridiculously strong rDH WR , some very strong other times + potential #1 AF

Paul - Surprised nobody has mentioned him yet, he went from being an average player to setting WW tops on several tracks and may be a WR holder in the future

Sosis - Picked up another track to WR level also subbed 2:04 rSL , bunch of WW tops aswell

Blaze - Even stronger than last year picked up some new tracks and pushed them to WR fairly easily went from being a very good player to being top 5 in the world.

Ace - Very strong start of the year setting the first solid WR on CM with all the new crazy strats to taking down Totom's reign on rWS also managed to snag KC WR for himself for a little bit. Progress seemed to slow down after the summer of 2018.

I know I mentioned 6 players but these were the most impressive IMO.

Obviously it's hard to pick just one or even a top 3 as there were so many other beasts already mentioned above. Really competitive this year.
