Well, I'll give it a try to get things started.
Hopefully I'm doing it right.

OKay, #1: Yup. You're right on the money.
#2: Holy crap! I need to return on that.
Return!
I thought this might help the challenge along a bit. I've frapped out the demo files and loaded the videos to you tube.
Here is the Original Demo that we started with
Followed by Scuzzabopper's return
and finally my return on Scuzza's return
I sense a theme forming... guess we can't stop there 
.
Volley 4
Not gonna lie Relentless, that was a cheap shot.
Relentless Cheap Shot!
My return! (CoH Demo file)

No more takers eh? Guess I'll throw a little more something in:

C'mon people, let's get this thing rolling! Free cake and beer to the next new person who adds something!
I'll give it a whirl.... HEY!?

What the!?!? What happens when you put costume parts on a puddle? Is this a muddle? It's blowing my demo editor's tiny little mind!

it it good for me or bad for zloth that I know how to fix that and he doesn't?
Open the file in notepad, and do a search for "Player". Deleate all the lines that contain comstume code. That'll leave just the NPC Puddle as the player designator.
OK, so they just do nothing. I thought there might be some sneaky trick you could do by giving a puddle a costume. Maybe the costume would show up in reflections but not in the main picture or something crazy like that.
nope, nothing tricky about it. Just lazy. Change the Costume to NPC and put Puddle after it. It keeps your toon from showing up in fromt of the camera if you move around.
You kept your Sprint there, too. When I put the puddle next to the camera, I got a face full of dust and rock!
The puddle is more... puddle-like now. I also stuck some 0's on the end of those Statesman lightning strikes to make the format right. (I doubt the 0s do anything but we might as well do it like the game does.)
Oh, and I stuck Tesslah in. She blows some stuff up. Buzzy the wonder-gear is there, too. Briefly.

(Something funky is going on with the blown up pieces. Sometimes they stay on the ground like they should, sometimes they fall through and vanish. It ended up broken and I ran out of time before I could figure out why.)
P.S. Can I exchange cake & beer for chocolate Dove Bars?
P.P.S. Video uploaded to WeGame.
I had your dove bars all ready, but then noticed the demo wasn't quite right 
. Whatever you used to add zeroes to all of those lightning strikes also took the liberty of replacing the time entries with zero. I stuck your addition to the end of the previous volley and took the leather pants and such away from mr. puddle. Nothing new added yet, but it seems to work:
Volley 7
!?!? That's odd. I used Notepad to do that - Demo Edit wouldn't touch the thing without those 0s in the back. (Though Demo Edit did keep changing the Player away from the puddle.) Oh well, thanks for fixing.
Hmm, I'm getting errors when trying to use the editor now too. I even went back and tried messing with the volleys before my last and it's giving me errors up to my first volley. Which is just plain odd since I used the editor to add in Rularuu's movement and didn't get even a hiccup.
/sigh... I'll mess around more later if I can.
Greetings all,
I had a bit of a crazy idea and I thought I'd roll with it.
Here's the idea: Basically, it's like Photoshop Tennis but with Demo edit.
So what happens is this: I'll post a demo file.
=====> Here's the demo file
Then, anyone who wants to can download the file, add to it, and repost it. Then someone else downloads the new file, adds to it, reposts it..... well you get the idea.
Couple rules:
1) You can only demo edit, no video edits.
2) no substitutions. Ya can't download a demo file, swap a model for another and call it an edit. Ya gotta add to it.
Since I'm the one issuing the challenge, I get to declare how long it'll go till it ends. So I'm setting an end date of August 31st.
When it's all done I'll fraps out the final demo file, drop a soundtrack to it (probably Duel of the Fates or something but I'll take suggestions)
So, who's up for it?
For simplicity, here's the file:
