Thank you Karl, great video as always and obviously no complaints from me :D I was wondering if it was time to give up doom speedrunning some months ago around the release of doom eternal. But, recently I have found new motivation to keep working on doing faster and better runs, and this defintely won't hurt my motviation to keep speedrunning. So perhaps the best has yet to come :) Thanks to anyone who watched this!

You're a true inspiration Zero. I've been so enjoying your runs it even encouraged me to attempt a few of my own (though I'm faaaar away from being near any speedrunner, but it was fun!) I've also picked up a lot of tricks and tactics from watching you. Keep on being awesome! With the new Eternal DLC coming out, I hope to see you at the forefront!

[@miyagikot1798]

I just started watching Decino decimate Doom’s demons recently and am not that up-to-speed in the Doom community; but I also think that Decino posted a new world record for Doom 2 recently by Looper (17:55). I may be incorrect and don’t want to knock Zero Master’s incredible skills or knowledge of Doom (let alone his record that affords him such credibility) but I think that his Doom 2 record was just recently knocked down. I wonder if he will battle to get it back 😆. Here was the video Decino linked: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqWWYoOOoJyHlbM

Good man getting that lower case "d" right. decino is my repeat inspiration for attempting crazy Doom challenges regularly. He's one of the biggest contributors to the series.

I second that. He is a person I watch to know how I can play it, doomgods like Zero Master to see how much I suck. But seriously decino is the reason I get better and enjoy new challenges. Btw "I'm going to practice for a moment... Attempt number 60"

[@alexthibodeau979]

I’ve gotta say, I really appreciate how easy these videos are to understand. I’ve never played DOOM or any incantation of it and was still able to easily follow and understand how ridiculously impressive this guy I’d never heard of’s achievements are. I know you’ve mentioned how passionately you believe speedrunning needs to become more commonplace, and you’re definitely helping this cause here. Good vid as always.

[@Leedler]

Same here! I played DOOM once when I was five..... Yea, I got nervous and just closed it.

[@vinslungur]

I would say if you've ever played an FPS then you've pretty much played Doom. It's hard to find an FPS that isn't somehow related to Doom in gameplay or inspiration. It's amazing how well Doom holds up even today when you play with a mouse. GZDoom elevates it even higher.

[@chloewebb5526]

While the old games like Doom, Marathon, Duke Nukem, Blood, and Strife all brought concepts to the table that are still used, games have changed drastically. Playing something like Hedon, Dusk, or Ashes 2063 are wildly different FPS than most modern games of the last 20 years. I can't overstate just how different the experience is, and how much funner they can be than the slow realism of every game that comes out lately. It was fun to be 10 in 1995, get a PC and watch how realistic FPS games got over the years, but after living through the age of evolving games (1995-2005), I find games these days all feeling like reskins with maybe one tiny new idea, or minimal changes. Seeing what indie developers are doing with older concepts have been showing me new forks from FPS history that never happened and ideas hat were never expanded on because studios were too busy trying to make FPS games more real instead of more fun

All hail Zero Master! I love to see someone so dedicated and true to something, especially when it is my common interest. Doom 3: BFG Edition is a really nice speedgame as well. You guys are missing out. Especially Nightmare Any%. There is just something special about it in how thorough you need to be. It has good movement tech including strafe jumping and various kinds of rocketjumping, smart and accurate gun play and the soul cube routing makes it tight and challenging. I would love to see new runners and I am always happy to teach everyone everything I learned. I did not expect to see myself in this video so you can imagine my surprise. Thanks for the 15 secs of fame haha. Cheers!

[@ComposerKuandohan]

If you made a video like a “history of doom 3 speed running” or videos talking about your techniques, I would 100% watch them. I’m sure it would bring more attention to the challenge as well. 👌🏻

[@NrGDime]

Including the full franchise there is a handful of players with excellent times in multiple doom series games such as Draqu_ but no one is a champion of old and new Doom quite like Zeromaster. Zero possesses groundbreaking runs on both ends and agree with Karl's decision but oh man the names go on for amazing DOOM runners that have added to the compendium of doom speedrunning history like: Looper/Xiae/Draqu_/STXVile/4Shockblast/Ancalagon/J4rio/Demonlord/Henning S./Sedlo/Corpseflesh/Byteme/Seeker/Bloodite Krypto (jk).

[@OverG88]

Xiae is a beast and the current record holder. I never saw a player so fast at weapon switching. ForstyXen is also worth mentioning. He's the greatest competitor to Xiae when it comes to speedrunning Doom Eternal and the latest Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods.

[@BecCallow1471]

Who's Bloodite Krypto?

[@endless_doom5337]

This. There's def some amazing Doom players like Looper, 4Shockblast, Ancalagon, Tatsurd-cacocaco and more that are all into the Doom God category, but Zero Master is without a doubt the most versatile and damn crazy of them all. Mastering both classic Doom and the new Doom is one task that only the best of the best can achieve, and he's pretty much the only one to do so with absolute grace. But not only is Zero Master ultra good at the games, he's also a pillar of the community; He created, alongisde Kraflab, the new page of the Doom Speed Demos Archive, the biggest repository of Doom gameplay history. A legend.

back in the day, you played what you had and you liked it. it's something i honestly kind of miss.

The SNES version is actually a programming masterpiece considering it contained all of the original PC Doom's maps in their true configurations. The PSX version couldn't even do that at the time.

[@twowolveshighfiving]

Miss your videos man. Thanks for the quality content you create.

[@cliftonixs]

I love your stuff dude. I play ffxiv and at 8:49 the Red Choco is no joke.

[@ellisroberts3495]

Zero Master is to DOOM, what J Dilla is to hip hop beats. He just has ‘IT’, just naturally gifted but does work super hard, like anyone at a high level in any field!

[@joeyjojo91]

"Legend" doesn't even sound like a word anymore

[@Kawa-oneechan]

It's at this point you start calling them feet instead.

[@wetsocks4460]

Lyeg’nd

[@BobberTheWiseYTP]

So legend's on its last leg? lol

[@budgetking2591]

your video's are amazing man, watching stuff about speedrunners is so fun even if you dont like to speedrun yourself, it's weird, most non dangerous things i enjoy to watch i would also like to do myself or i do them myself, speed running i just like to watch video's about it lol

[@andresu83]

I've been waiting for this video to come out

[@_b001]

The fact that there is an easter egg for a random vtuber and none for a speedrunning doom legend just tells you a lot about SIMPeltons working at ID software.

[@haroldbalzac6336]

What Easter egg?

[@Vicerion17]

I can say I've honestly never played Doom, now Chex Quest? I played the hell out of tgat!

[@ClarksonNo1]

You really should, its still fun today. Not being able to aim up is a bit weird but its still good.

[@willeatpants7691]

Great video. Was perfect to watch while eating lunch! Zero Master KZbin is great fun to watch

[@AllknowingUnknown]

I've been waiting for a new video. Thx for the upload mate. I've never been a speed runner but I've loved the doom series since I was a kid not allowed to play or even watch. 😁 The room speed running community is a fascinating one.

[@sameerpharma4906]

I played DOOM for the first time 2 days ago to see if people are just nostalgic or if it is really so good. Man, now I love this game.

[@Chuked]

Demons: Invade Earth Zero Master: they are brutal, without mercy, *but me* I am worse

[@davidviselka8505]

Nice job Karl, keep making your videos, love them :)

[@Akay4444444444444444]

I legitimately forgot Doom 3 and thought you were gonna mention 64 near the end there

[@LoyMachedo]

"Hello You Absolute Legends".... Who among you missed listening to this phrase?

[@scottyb8114]

Zero Master is Doom Guy... That's way he's so good...

[@Armin00]

When reading the title I was thinking of two names: Zero Master or clockner. In the end I did think you’d say Zero tho because of his speedrunning and immense versatility, whereas clockner is not a speedrunner but more of a player who is so skilled that he can complete levels in the most fascinating ways possible, because of his insane imagination. Anyway, great video once again, I’m not sure how I missed it until now but better late than never lol

[@mrfailure93]

Glad to see you back making videos

[@JackTheRippin]

Because doom 3 actually scares people and they dont like it.

[@GhettoBagel]

Me: :( Karl: Hello you absolute legends Me: :)

[@rainyjay8156]

Hey karl hope things are going well . Loved the video and keep it up . Thank you

[@banthaboss6390]

Yay Karl is back!!!! Another amazing vid man. Hope your doing great and the little one is happy and healthy.

[@KorporalKReephdmkiytrecv69]

I thought the greatest Doom player of all time was Isabelle from animal crossing. but then I realized she is only friends with doomslayer and his sidekick that hunts demons with him. Every demon is afraid of her

[@lordcola-3324]

I think you are drastically overestimating how many people have played doom. I think the majority of people calling themselves gamers today have not played doom as opposed to your statement of "you would be hard pressed to find a gamer today that hasn't played doom in one form or another".

[@zukacs]

underestimating i think, it was all over russia and post soviet countries in my childhood

[@Mattiis88]

Thanks for your Quake video people started speedrunning it again and i am one of them, now i am top 3 on leaderboard! Thanks again for this video, can be the best video i have watched when you showed the e1m1 record. Hope you keep doing quake record videos. Some of the unbeatable record has just got beaten by new technics so i think you will find good stuff there :)

[@steffe689]

My favorite Karl Jobst video. Love these kind of videos.

[@ToniGAM3S]

Take a shot everytime you hear "DOOM"

[@Descro382]

Four shots every ten seconds, I'm alright bro lol

[@castroller1358]

When i hear the word Zero Master, i only remember the post that the Ironman cheater made, and the only words that I remember are ; *You humour me greatly with your arrogance and contempt*

[@MrMcSpiff]

That old school Sonic Clang Doom soundtrack kicking in softly in the background just brought back memories. You absolute legend.

[@xenomorph1317]

In the 90’s i played a Doom 2 tournament with 500 other players, and became second place on the map “downtown” where i was first to obtain the Bfg but missed the shot and got killed by splash damage off the rocket launcher.

[@totalhydration5240]

There's probably a timeline where Karl calls fans "Jobless Jobsters". I would want to see that timeline.
