E1M8 comparison is not relevant. E1M1-E1M7 time is improved by 6 seconds.

E1M8 is not counted towards the episode record, so record time is 4:51, even though the full episode is 6:12. The reason M8 is not included is because dos version does not display the time for the final map. Even though that is no longer relevant as sourceports can determine the time, the convention is still kept.

Description:
Real shame about E1M5, when I saw that 1:07 I was thinking I'd end demo right there. However I had a really good start, and then I followed it up with a pretty ok E1M6 before getting an amazing E1M7. E1M7 uv-speed record is 1:15, of course I have the advantage of having weapons, but a 1:12 in an actual episode run is crazy.

As always I don't do the route for E1M8 because all competition has been for the ExM1-ExM7 times, I think you should always get either 25 or 26 seconds on E1M8 if you have 10 rockets. It takes 7 or 8 seconds to get those together with the soulsphere on E1M6. Of course going for the void glide is an option.

E1M1: I will never bother with 11 seconds here, and always reset on 13 seconds.

E1M2: Good time, I sometimes take 26 seconds even and try to get a good E1M3 time.

E1M3: IL record is 40, so a 41 is really good. Think I got kind of lucky with the early shotgun blast to the demon so I only had to shoot it once to kill it on the way back.

E1M4: I pretty much always get 16 seconds here, lucky to not get blocked by that imp by yellow key door though.

E1M5: Great run so far, getting blocked at the start by the shotgunner and the demon is easily avoidable, but I messed up so I was off to a bad start. At least I didn't get too badly blocked going for the linedef to activate the bridge. Yellow key door was a disaster, hardest part of the run anyways, getting up that elevator quickly. Then of course there was the blue key part... I didn't
even know you could avoid waking up the spectre there, so I had to kill him because I messed up. The exit door was a mistake too, I didn't block the spectre behind me properly.

E1M6: Surprised I got 1:00 here honestly, thought it would be a lot worse. Thankfully the shotgunner that blocks the wall didn't shoot or something. I forgot what a good time would be, I think a lot went ok here, but not exactly perfect.

E1M7: Wow! IL record is 1:15, 3 rockets + chaingun obviously helps a lot, but a 1:12 in an episode attempt is crazy. As perfect as it's going to get really.

E1M8: A little bit disappointed I failed that jump at the end, but I already lose 50 seconds or so here to the lack of rockets.

I would have liked to have gotten a good E1M5 and E1M6, unfortunately it means I would have to get 4:50 or lower now, which might be a bit too much for my patience these days. Hopefully someone else will improve it, but it's been 3 years since 4m57s already :)

This was somewhat low effort for me, first actual speedrun demo in 8 months. I should be doing a nightmare all secrets run of doom 2 soon I think, which will include 100% on map 15.

Thanks for watching.
