I nominate turska and Bernka. Bernka for his highly optimized Mega Man X (and Mega Man clones) runs, and turska because he has achieved a lot, just in one year.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

I nominate Marx for getting the hang of TASing in such a short amount of time and progressively improving in his technical skills by the end of the year.

I'm surprised by how many people here only had their first publication this year. Many I would've expected to have been around longer. Aside from the ones already mentioned, I nominate KFCMARIO for his excellent SMB2 work.

I would say Bernka for his terrific Mega Man runs. He's a very talented Chinese TASer.
