Comment:
Exactly 1 minute and 40 seconds faster than previous record by Zero-master. I don't think this episode run is as cooked as E1, but that's maybe because nobody speedrunning the first Doom actually went past E1 :-D
533 attempts, though 85% didn't get past e2m1. 4 levels in this run were my PBs (in attempts). I got 4 exits and every one of them was improvement over previous one. My previous PB was 22:07 and I improved it by 17 seconds lol. There is definitely room for improvement as it has mistakes here and there, luckily no obvious big blunders. This run has good berserk rolls and quite good rocketing, however plasma management isn't great and I didn't get good infights.
Now for a small vent: FUCK CACO PUNCHING. I don't know what bumblefuck designed them in such a way, that they don't attack immediately. You might be going into the caco fight with great health but no. They can literally take from 100 to 0 in seconds, if they decide to go medieval on your ass. But you absolutely need to do that if you want a good time. It preserves plasma for encounters, that can't be punched and obv for cyber. I admit I did this to myself, when I decided to speedrun the episode like this
E2M1:
Crappy start to this level, but it got mostly saved by the plasma in the next part, where almost everything died. Time here doesn't really matter, there is much more RNG in levels ahead. I usually settled for at least 1:25.
E2M2:
I was very surprised to see, that this was my PB for this level. I got tilted in so many places. First there was the imp, that stood on a blockmap line, and dodged 3 punches. Then I fell off a lift. Then I realized I only had 10 hp left, which made me mad. And to top it off I used accidently extra rocket on the imps around the yellow key door with the RL (I use 2, instead of 3). I stuck to the IL route, instead of the route ZM used in his E2 run.
E2M3:
First caco punching, which means there were also deaths here. Probability of survival increases significantly, if the cacos at the start infight. Here one of them does. I got blocked a lot and I get stuck a lot at the end.
E2M4:
I hate hate HATE this map. I used a strat, where I have to punch 6+ cacos, depending on the infight at the end, so I died here a plenty. Speaking of the infighting at the end, ZM's e2m4 split was really good, it is quite hard to match it. However in practice (not attempts) I got once time of 3:14 without rewinds, no idea how I did that. I wouldn't ever think, that I can rocket myself into the wall and collect extra 5 rockets, I can't even fathom how ZM found that lmao. I got bad infighting at the end, I literally dance in front of them + one of the barons didn't show up until later, so I had to resort to plasma. Great lineskips, both intentional and unintentional.
E2M5:
Again bad baron infighting, this time it was mostly my fault. I didn't notice that the second baron infought with the caco, if I saw that, I'd stay and punch him too. I also shot the second caco accidently so he didn't want to infight. Everything else was optimal.
E2M9:
Very smooth, not much else to say. It's nice to have more than 13 rockets for this. Could've been 46s if I didn't stop firing plasma.
E2M6:
This map went as well as it could've. Again I stick to the slightly modified IL route.
E2M7:
This one is basically free, unless some bizarre RNG screws with you. Idk what else would I say about this.
E2M8:
Excess plasma on e2m4 and e2m5 caused me to finish the siege cow with the chaingun, but it's not as big time loss as I thought it would be. With enough plasma (I usually aimed for 180-190) it can be done in 22 or 23 seconds, depending on how much stray lost souls eat plasma.
Sum of my PBs is 21:32. If I consider 3:14 on e2m4 and possible 0:22 on e2m8, this would be 21:13. I believe, that if I mudded this bit more, I could reasonably slash extra 10 seconds, but I think this is good place to stop :-)
