Ultimate Doom - Ultra-Violence Speedrun in

Runner: Zero-Master
Date: 2019-10-06
IWAD: DOOM.wad
Category: UV-Speed
Map: Ep1-Ep4
Source Port: Crispy Doom v4.3
Time is approximately 20:06
It's not possible to record a single segment demo for ultimate doom as a full run because of the episode format, so RTA (Real Time Attack) time is used instead, which means I can use saving/loading. That's also why the video quality is shit, since I have to record while playing.
54 second improvement over the previous record by Dime.
E1: Had quite a decent start, and I hadn't seen the demon after yellow key door on E1M5 survive a direct rocket in my previous attempts, so obviously that means it had to happen this time. Lost a bit of health and time, and I dropped down to 4% health later on.. but I survived :) Unforutantely I missed a rocket and had to shotgun down 2 demons in the exit room which cost me even more time. Then E1M6 happened, I try to just rush through the door and if the shotgunner doesn't shoot he will block the door from closing (if he doesn't I have to reset since it costs 30 seconds), this time he decided to shoot. Then I just gambled and hoped he'd somehow end up under the door anyways and he did :) A slightly different route compared to the episode run (which doesn't count E1M8) used to grab some extra rockets, cost me 10 seconds or so, but I save way more on E1M8 when dealing with the barons.
E2: The demons mid way through E2M1 is quite a dangerous area, you can get boxed in and killed quickly if you are unlucky. There's also a slightly different route here for RTA, since it's faster to get the plasma rifle on E2M2 to kill the cyberdemon with cells instead of rockets. E2M6 void glide + switch press were both a bit slow. I was hoping to have more cells available for the cyberdemon, it saves quite a bit of time to use plasma instead of rockets.
E3: This episode is quite straightforward, there's not too much that can go wrong. Mostly the cacodemons on E3M1 can block you and kill you easily at times, and the second worst thing would be getting blocked by lost souls on E3M7 when going for the jump to the exit. Only difference between episode run is getting the BFG on E3M4.
E4: Looks like I skipped the menu when switching episode by buffering inputs during the wipescreen effect, I checked if this is possible in DOS and it is, so I could have saved a few seconds doing this on previous episodes. It's possible to skip the wipescreen effect between levels using prboom+ sourceport, but that would be unfair. Really good start, everything went pretty much perfect on E4M1. I was planning on using only a single BFG on E4M2 to clear out the cacodemons, didn't really work out and I got blocked so I went with 2 after loading. Failed the RJ first try on E4M3, was a little bit off. E4M6 went mostly smooth, getting shot only once by the cyber and then getting the chance to kill him in 2 BFG's is really good. I don't really care about losing a couple of second jumping from the pillar to the exit at the end here, wasn't going to be under 20 minutes anyways.
Overall a decent run, shame it was just a little bit short of under 20 minutes. I don't like playing without demo recording too much, sub 20 minutes is definitely possible, maybe I will do that some day or someone else will :)

[@ITRIEDEL]

If I was an asshole and special powers, I’d send Zero Master to early December 1993, Dallas Texas, to walk into id software and play this game in front of the original founders... imagine how confused they would be. Haha.

[@rawr51919]

They'd be like 'how the hell do you have a copy of the game already? It's not even out yet!' Zero Master simply wouldn't care and would just play anyway like the doomguy he is

[@turd_man_jones13]

Zero Master: *finishes the game* All too easy

[@duanemcclure8324]

That's an interesting senario! And, a great thought. Yeah, I wonder what they'd think, if they hadn't thought of it. I know one thing: You'd be CEO of id to hat same day! But..how would you get around Wolfenstein first? You'd have to drag in (with a handtruck, no doubt) a stack of boxes fill of not so 'floppy discs' because you'd have done everything on a command line on DOS. Still, a fun idea to think about though! Yeah, the expressions on Carmack's and Romero's faces would have been a YRUE "Kodak moment". Priceless! To Hanks for the first laugh of the day! Great stuff!

[@duanemcclure8324]

Oh yeah..and, let's not forget about all that cash that you'd have to use that same handtruck to wheel back out of the office with! I guess they could have handed you meone of those giant Publishers Clearing House checks to make room for all those zeros across the check!

At first I thought the run is almost segmented like with all the saving/loading but when he finally failed his first trick in E4M2 I've realised that he's just done all of those previous ones first try regardless of the saving/loading. What a god.

In my ideal world, we'd first get a slightly faster run clocking in at a tantalizing 20:01 before seeing the sub 20. Just to make it a bit more delightful.

​@@YtubeUserrIt's not just the memories. I've started playing Doom quite recently. After playing Doom Eternal and Ultrakill I decided to try their sources of inspiration and I enjoyed them a lot. Doom and Doom 2 don't rely on nostalgia only, they're also really fun games.

Why are the map names not showing up on the intermission screen? Is it because you're going so fast through it or is it a feature of Crispy Doom? Or maybe just renedering issues of the video?

I may be ignorant, but why didnt the title of the map appear after youve beaten one and then why didnt the title of the next one appear? Im not accusing you of anything, since ive no reason to accuse a speedrunner of anything, its just that, me as a guy who played doom i, ii and final doom, it just strikes me not seeing the title of the map.
