Description:
A 5 second improvement over the previous record. I would have improved this sooner, but I've had an unbelivable run of bad luck lately.
A new rocket jump on map 09 saves a few seconds, it's not always possible since it's just after the other rocket jump and so you might not have the health for it.
The biggest mistake was on map 19, I have 2 options at the 32 unit gap which is to press strafe left for 1 tic (or frame at 35 fps), wait, and press it again for 1 tic or to press it once for 2 tics. So when I want to press it for 1 tic I sometimes accidently press it for 2 tics, which is fine as long as I haven't already pressed it for 1 tic. What happened here is that I pressed it for 1 tic, waited, then pressed it for 2 tics by accident and repeated the same mistake 3 more times.
Now if the spectre catches up and bites me from the side I'd have to kill some 20 spectres which would obviously take forever. So naturally I tried to get into the center of the 32 unit gap as quickly as possible, but then I risk the chance of going past it if I'm moving too quickly. So then that happened and I wasted more time, and eventually I did get bitten by the spectre.. however, it was directly from the back which doesn't push me to the side, so I can still get through!
Map 12 and 13 were bad, though this is partially because I got unlucky with the elevators, 15 and 23 weren't good either, pain elemental doesn't usually block me like that.. otherwise it was decent.
I'd like to improve it a bit further, as I've had better attempts, but running this game is more exhausting than ever, so I'd rather do something else.. like nightmare difficulty again :-)

holy shit. how are u grabbing keys through walls n shit? epic man! This is most for sure the game i know the best. iv been playing it for as long a i can remember n still play through for fun often but i dunno how you're doing what you do here. blowing youself into places with rockets, flicking swithches from places i didnt know you could, squeezing through gaps u shouldnt be able to. it was so fast im not sure i remember seeing all 30 levels lol.. its just nuts! id better try speed runs now lol

Holy hell. I've been out of following Doom speedrunning for a while. That archy push in Monster Condo is legit. I could be remembering wrong but I feel like we tried waiting for him to just sort of come over by the door before? Idk. Whatever we did before was less reliable. That was tight.

[@manuell3505]

I never could find out how to take that secret without idclip. You have to get pushed on the teleporter by the arch-vile and just step out that room again to register the secret. Weird, actually. Like the movement of being pushed by a monster differs from normal controlled movement. The only time-triggered secret in the whole game at the start here took me a while too. Should have played with pc-speaker audio. Then I would have noticed the closing sound...

He got hunged up on several enemies and walls/fences throughout the run... It's almost impossible to have a perfect run on a game that uses fixed positions for the enemies. It was a brutally fantastic run anyway. Barely unbeateable

[@nexusrev3377]

This is awesome! I didn't understand what you did with the pistol at 14:40.

[@ZeroMaster]

This is useful on nightmare where the lost souls have a chance of attacking me from the front, since it doesn't hurt to do I just do it on UV as well.

[@painkiller8639]

Might be wrong, but I think it's just in case one of the lost souls go charging towards him, so if it does, it gets knockbacked by the pistol, enabling the speedrunner to do his setup.

@@azza5332 One thing I like about the SSG is that it shoots through many enemy types (such as the zombiemen and shotgunners) but sometimes just "doesn't".

You are a machine, man! If you ever want to come back and run Hexen (or Heretic!) again, you'd do well! Especially since new tricks were found in Hexen. This community is still progressing, despite the fact we are playing 20+ year old games haha. I was just mentioning how you were able to break sub 19 the other day! There's always more to find and do! And if you do want to be a part of the Heretic/Hexen community, we have an active discord. Discord.me/heretic

[@sfaliaraman101]

There's a lot of praise for this, and while it is a very impressive run, there were a lot of moments where he could have scraped off a bit more time. He bumped into walls (presumably on accident) quite a bit and killed enemies that could have been avoided. Congrats anyway.

[@unapologeticasshat9214]

I've never seen that thing where you're pressing undescended switches and switches through walls like at 10:08 and the one before it. Is that relatively newish tech?

[@ZeroMaster]

being able to activate switches that are below or above you has been known for a long time, the new discovery is that if you can face parallell to the switch, while having the switch too your left then you can press it from further away and through walls. Though the distance depends on the 4 directions east,west,north,south (for example south is considered downwards on the minimap). So map 15 and map 17 are new, yes.

[@NeuroticNicky87]

There is no z axis for switches and items which means the games engine doesn't register that you are a different height from the switch so as long as you are standing under or above the switch you can press it.

_ Ruskie is it b/c the enemies can open key doors and he pushed the archvile against the door so the arckvile would open it? That would be cool if that's the reason.

[@Spie812Productions]

Although you need the red key to open the door from the front, the back of the door doesn't need a key to open. With a little luck, you can have the arch vile open the other side of the door.

[@skeith804]

Kinda covered already but monsters are constantly using the "Use" command, so if they're near a door it'll open up. A bit more hax as others have mentioned because the archvile is technically opening the other side of the door, but yeah.
