Congrats Toony!
So I was looking at my stats, and I saw that I needed some melee kills in order to advance in rank, so I thought "Hey, I'll just hop in easy mode and rack some up, won't take long.".
And I beat the game with a melee build, resulting in my first melee kill of the Cyberdemon.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 3 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
1 of those was killed.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 2 souls claim to have killed him...
2 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------
It only took 7 hits to kill him with my power modded chainsaw, and granted, I was invincible, and the CyberDemon spawned unusually close to me, I'm still proud of this accomplishment. Just to let everyone know, it wasn't a 100% melee run, I still used a pistol at the beginning in order to blow up barrels.
I really should go up in difficulty, but the improved effect of health items makes me feel cozy.
