Description:
And another 2 minute improvement!

E5M1: I can reach the raising platform and even open the last door from below so that I can clear the way to the elevator while I wait for it to raise.

E5M2: Getting the first secret takes too much time, I didn't mean to telefrag the shotgunner at the start here, but as long as I get through it's fine. Also took a lot of damage from the lava floor, a bit close there. Not quite brave enough to skip the mega armor yet though :) Unfortunate block by the shotgunner at the end.

E5M3: I got unlucky with the baron near the end refusing to move to either side and instead just kept going down the middle. Lost several seconds, but I should be happy I got through at all (cacodemon pushed a lost soul out of my way, incredible, never seen that before :). I skip the rocket launcher on this map and get it on the next, so it's easier to get past the cacodemon and the baron at the exit.

E5M4: Grab the rocket launcher secret here, I think getting this one is the easiest option, but it should be faster to get the one on the next level. I also skip the soulsphere now, which allows me to get past the crushers quicker.

E5M5: I changed to a faster route here, but I slow down at the start to clear out the annoying cacodemon. It's possible to ride that elevator at green armor back up so I saved some time with that. This is easily the hardest level in this episode and there's so much that can go wrong. Not only am I missing the 200 armor from the blue armor on the map, but I only get the green armor which offers less protection than blue (for example 30 damage with green armor: 20 health and 10 armor lost, blue: 15 health and 15 armor lost.) Felt like I barely took any damage this time, so it looks quite easy. 2 demons at the end managed to dodge my rockets.. also it's possible to get up that elevator after activating the lindef to open up to the ledge above before it raises up, but it's really difficult.

E5M6: No need to get the invulnertability, I could have saved an additonal 20 cells here, but the timing is rather precise if I wanted to get back up the elevator. I hadn't practiced it enough to feel safe that I'd get it. Once I get up the elevator I wait for 3-4 seconds so that I can jump down on the lowering platform.

E5M7: I guess there's nothing much new here, some slight changes to which weapons I use at times and just running through it a lot faster. I have to slow down before the final teleporter because if I go quickly through it then it can put me at a slightly different coordinate, if that happens the run is over because I fail the linedef skip. The last section is incredibly annoying, the walls around the lava pit give you a good chance to get what is called an elastic collision, doomguys momentum is preserved and directed in the opposite direction which will push you into the lava pit. I also need to be careful for the jump across to the key, colliding with the walls can easily end the run.

E5M8: New trick here, which went to shit obviously. The baron attacked too quickly + I was just too slow, then he was in the way for my second attempt. Whatever, it's under 10 minutes so I'll be happy with that for now :) There's an even faster way to get to the exit, by doing a rocket jump off the ledge of the teleporter, might be a little bit too difficult non tas and it only saves a few seconds, perhaps a bit much since it's right at the end.

I said I'd do nightmare all secrets, that's been put on hold for now, not sure if or when I'll get to that. Anyways I was thinking I'd do some more doom speedruns, we'll see :)
