Description:
There's no sound more beautiful than that of an arch-vile opening the door on monster condo almost immediately after he wakes up.
This is a 40 second improvement over the previous record!
I didn't think I would make another one, but I've compiled yet another failed attempts video (with 135 segments), which can be found here: • Edge of Tomorrow - Doo...
I would have liked to do under 21 minutes, but you need to get a good 30nm demo for that. I have never had a good 30nm demo, I've never even had a decent one, until now. Nightmare has just been too difficulty to get through without major flaws in my almost 3 years of trying to do this category. This time I did really well, but a small mistake on map 22 cost me too much. I decided I'd take a decent time instead of taking great risks on the last levels to try and recover. So I lost a few more seconds on map 29, but at least I managed to get 32 seconds on map 30. This is the best I've ever managed to do for this category.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your incredible contributions to the DOOM speedrunning scene! You did an amazing job on all of them, and if you're indeed taking a break this is the best way to go. Congrats!

[@ZeroMaster]

yeah I'm pretty happy to end with a decent nightmare time for once! and thanks!

He played this game for the past25+ years

[@PhiAce_0]

Yeah he might have beaten it like a few times

[@sofacheeto844]

he’s beaten it at least 50 times because he memorized every useful secret on the levels.

@72ithink it's a huge feat going from casual playthroughs to speedrunning with such low experience, my respects

The best part about Doom 2 that no one ever talks about? All the great MIDI covers of classic grunge-era tunes

[@creedich]

What covers? They are originals I think but I like the midi music yea

[@FFFan3445]

Wouldn't call stuff like Metallica grunge, personally. And don't people often talk about the music? Seems to be a common point of discussion. I often think "wow, it's amazing no one's taken them to court over the music clearly violating copyright!" Presumably it's because id Software were so beloved, even big bands were like "nah, these guys are cool, let them do their thing."

[@jacobyoung7000]

You mean that lots and lots of people talk about in the Doom fan scene?

@@FFFan3445 or perhaps because Bobby Prince is a lawyer and somehow knows a loophole, if not that. But this hasn't gone without wide mention either.

Congrats on this amazing time! And you deserve a break for all this, you did a lot of things that not many (even the best) players have done. Amazing!

Sad we won't get any new runs for a while but its been an honor to watch your runs. I've probably watched your runs about 30 times each :p They always inspire so never think your work was without effect. You are the master doomer, all hail _\m/

[@m4rkjr491]

The sound from using the rocket launcher on the weaker soldiers is still my fondest memory of these games 👌

[@coeurdevandale]

I have watched speedrun for a long time, I commented your run a long time ago in my show (your old UV record), I have put Doom II in a speedrun / esport competition I organized thanks to you (a lot of french runners know you and love your runs), I have watch nearly all your Doom II runs (UV and NM), you have been one of my speedrunner hero all those years,the Doom II fans will miss you, but sometimes you have to move on, and that is your call, I respect that, good luck for your other projects whatever they are !

[@ZeroMaster]

Thanks cdv! I enjoyed watching people take on doom 2, hopefully doom1/ultimate doom can be included next time ;)

[@s9000mhz]

This run is beyond comprehension.. seriously.. I say that with ut most respect. What you have achieved in the last 4 years is well... I have no words for. I'm sad to see you say this is the last run. I watched your first demo years ago and right then saw how gifted you were to be able to achieve these runs. You were the first person to inspire me to start recording (I have been speedrunning for years but didn't start recording till 1-2 years ago). So thank you for a legacy and hopefully one day you will return and show us something that we all thought was impossible.

[@komotohawk2270]

That was absolutely incredible! Good job.

[@urbangrimer6531]

Brilliant run man congratz. Sub 21 hopefully some day 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@ZeroMaster]

thanks!

[@janwakaka]

Good job on that last 3 blast. It really pissed me off when I have to go all the way to the top if I missed one shot

[@chewynickerson]

Once again, you show why you're the best speed runner at Doom, period. Always a pleasure to watch you kicking ass on Doom. Didn't know that trick existed on The Citadel (@ 12:36); is that a new one?

[@ZeroMaster]

Thanks!, map 19 is similar to map 17 trick, so it was discovered around the same time.

[@Collin255]

Damn dude, super impressive!

[@hrs_arbiter956]

Insane as always. Very clean IoS too!

[@tenacious645]

I was view #666 lol. I understand the fatigue with speed running. I hope you have a second wind, but if you are done for good, thank you for the great runs. You definitely made a big difference and a name for yourself in this community. Best of luck with wherever life takes you.

[@imkingmailru]

I sometimes have nightmares about appearing in a 3:42-like area with 0 ammo and health. I'm 31 and I last played Doom 2 as a kid. Thanks a lot, id Software

This video results incredible for me. The lasts times I tried Doom 2 in NIGHTMARE! I wasn't even able to finish the god-damned 2nd map! And you managed to beat it in its entirety! Well done, Zero! RESPECT

[@stickboi3333]

This is amazing! Well done!

[@stankyankee]

4 years... SALUTE to your dedication and hard work. Time to take a breather, just wish you went up against Dime on the Speedrun that would be epic..

see this in 2022 ..when i get boring,i back to see the speedruns from zero master.boring not more,ty zero master :)

I can't believe I never tried to beat Doom 2 in NM for all these years. This has inspired me to give it a try!

[@user-eg7uo7vx2e]

In my humble opinion, Zermoaster had done MORE than enough to call it a break. If there is a way to go, than this sure is :)...other than a rocket to a face :D Well done master! You deserve a break after all this!

wow nice speedrun I like how you use the glitches-delay thing = Instead of just popping trough a gap, you stay in there a bit to kill beasts outside it. Very cool.

[@jeffo2448]

Wow. Great job!

[@thedungeondelver]

Also, this is frigging amazing.

[@keyransolo]

can we all agree zeromaster is the best doomer of all time?

[@TheStupidBird]

idk... he is a very good doom speed runner, maybe even the very best, but he does seem to leave a LOT of demons left alive to keep invading and destroying earth and mars and which ever other planets they invade and destroy...

Love watching through these and seeing all the clever improvements you continue to make on this run after all these years. Although I still can't figure out why you use the arrow key to turn before positioning for the skip at 16:38.

Incredible!

I'm thinking of "grandmothers react to fps speedrun videos" type of KZbin content.

These are like the best graphics than any modern fpv can give, doom will always reign supreme.

Been replaying this game for a couple hours each night for the last few nights and he caught up to where I was in about 6.5 minutes… it’s like doom guy and John Wick fused into one

[@thomaslejon]

Fucking amazing !!! Nightmare is not possible !!!

[@ChristopherRidge]

Do you think you might get around to NM and UV speed runs of No Rest For the Living, the bonus levels released with Doom 2 that came with the Doom 3 BFG Edition? I personally found those levels exceptionally well-designed.

[@suckturdslmao]

Dude I can barely get through the second level on "Hey, not too rough" and you are able to do nightmare with speed.
