E3M8 comparison is not relevant. E3M1-E3M7 time is improved by 4 seconds. The reason E3M8 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:
A 4 second improvement over the previous record by Hi Jango.
My last run of this: "I definitely will not try to improve this again ever." Yeah, nevermind. Easily my most optimized demo ever, absolutely crazy run. I was attempting to beat the record by at least 1 second, I instead managed to improve it by 4 seconds. This is 3 seconds off from my best times, incredible.
This episode is just a complete dice roll all the way through.
E3M1: The linedef skip at the start here can be done normally by running quickly over it and it happens sometimes when I fail the other method, which is to just run around it. Getting past the pinkies
The imp room is pretty straightforward now, kill the first imp and just try to run in on the right (or left) side immediately. I'd say it works maybe 35% of the time. I've had a few 29 second exits here, never managed to tie the record at 28, and I only had a single attempt skip 2 pinky demons while not having to fire at them, definitely possibilities for a 27 time here if it goes perfect.
E3M2: I'll always get either 15 or 16 seconds here, as long as I don't make a major movement mistake or get blocked badly by the lost souls it should always be 15 seconds without problems. Often I get to this level with low health and get killed by the lost souls.
E3M3: I believe I used to kill the pinky at the start here, as there's a good chance it will block you later, but it's not a good use of the limited amount of cells you have. I try to quickly clear out the imps though, here 1 of them survived so my chances of clearing the jump are pretty low, but it worked. 25 seconds is my best time here and a time I don't get very often, maybe 10% of the time.
E3M4: The pinky moving out of the way or not comes down to whatever RNG index you are at, I'd say about 50% of the time he moves, so I won the coinf flip this time. At the blue key door I hug the corner because this was supposed to get the imps to consistently move to the left and I could always run past, maybe I opened the door a bit too early or something, because I got blocked a bit here and it cost me a second.
Managed to get the yellow key grab very quickly and the rest went ok, time was a 39.00 so a bit of a shame, but on the next 2 maps it went in my favour.
E3M5: I had gotten a lot of practice on this level since I had previously done both 23.97 and a 22.97 using a linedef skip for an individual level run. The linedef skip is so inconsistent that I would never want to count on it in an episode run, but it could save a second.
E3M6: I hate this level, as I never seem to get 25 seconds here, but today is the day and I finally got it on this incredible run, couldn't be more fortunate with this level. I had one run that tied the episode record where I had super bounce off of the first door which cost me a second, I've had several runs where the pinky demons survives the initial rocket like it does in Hi Jango's demo, and sometimes when he does die in 1 rocket there is somehow a demon surviving the 2 rockets and blocking the switch.
I thought the plasma spam at blue key way a bit too slow, but I barely made 25 seconds. I hug the door because there's a decent chance I do a linedef skip on the exit if I don't.
E3M7: My biggest fear is to get to this level on a really good run and get blocked by lost souls. I think I only lost a 3:36 to that once, but it happens somewhat often and it's quite painful way to lose it.
E3M8: The E3M1-E3M7 and E3M1-E3M8 routes are so different here, grabbing the BFG costs a few seconds, but you complete this level in 8 seconds. I already had a faster E3M1-E3M8 time than the record, so I went with some infighting to just survive here.
Thanks for watching.

Description:
Yet another void glide discovery!
A tiny corner that has gone undiscovered for some time which enables the E1M8 type void glide. I figured there werent many height differences on this map so I wasnt surprised to find out I could easily run around to the exit.
For non-TAS this is an abomination, a combination of the worst parts of the 2 other void glides discovered for ultimate doom. First it requires the cooperation of a monster to get out of the void, but even worse is that the closest monster is a very uncooperative zombieguy (hence why I did a TAS run and leave the grind for someone else). Then second of course another switch press like E2M6 which is difficult to do quickly, except the wall infront of the switch is at an angle making it a bit more difficult.
Non-TAS I expect a time of under 20 seconds to be doable, maybe around 15 or so if someone is crazy enough, while the current UV-Speed record is 25 seconds. For TAS the previous fastest run was a 20 second with no monsters and 23 seconds in an episode 2 run, so the map is essentially cut in half with this trick.
Void glides are rather rare, for 3 reasons: the first being the map geometry required isnt very common, the second is that you usually cannot move very far because of height differences in the void so most of the time you are stuck, and third even if you can move somewhere theres no gurantee theres anything useful to do.
Karl Jobst did a video on void glides for ultimate doom found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWe8g8R7ZKI , so this is now the 3rd useful void glide for ultimate doom.
At some point there cant possibily be any more useful void glides to discover for the official doom wads as, again, they are not very common, so perhaps this might just be the last one, who knows... anyways, stop by next week for another one where we take a yet another map and cut it in half.

Mars Core is 1 of 2 new official master levels, this is my first UNM clear.
2 areas that I was mostly scared of here, the section immediately after getting the BFG and the smoke filled room. I think I got myself trapped there at one point in both areas so I was kind of lucky to make it out alive.
Had some ammo trouble with the cyber mancs at the very end in my nightmare playthrough, so I decided to just BFG that section once instead of getting myself killed.
Enjoy!")

Description:
A tool-assisted speedrun of the latest and final version of Sigil.
E5M1: A lot of elevators. The start was difficult since the platform was quite crowded and I needed to pass a linedef in the middle of it. The rest of the level is quite simple.
E5M2: I try to get some momentum before jumping down at the start to clear as much distance as possible, imps blocking from below made things difficult. I was a bit too careful with the damage floor, since there are 2 soul spheres health isnt really an issue.
E5M3: Another frustrating start because manouvering past the enemies wasnt easy. I had to pick up the chaingun so I only got to kill the 2 zombieguys infront of me, thankfully that turned out to be enough. I didnt think Id have enough speed to clear the gap since its quite far, but the cacodemon helped me across :) Didnt expect it to be faster than map02.
E5M4: Obviously a lot longer with the keybars being taller. The yellow key door opening takes too long so I decided to go open it first and take the crusher path and just rocket jump across. Shame its not possible to activate the red key switch through the wall, because then I could have skipped the whole red key area. This area was pretty difficult because it wasnt easy getting past some of the monsters. Just barely managed to activate the bars so that I could climb them like stairs.. also really low health so I had to use the cracks to avoid taking damage.
E5M5: I have to wait for the fast lift twice in this version because I have to cross a linedef to open up the way to the next area. For the blue key area I struggled quite a bit, I also should have fired a rocket into the gap in the floor to kill an imp that would block me later. I didnt feel like re doing it so I just went with it. I activated the last elevator by pressing a switch through the wall, saves a little bit of time.
E5M6: I wasnt sure if I needed the plasma rifle so I decided to skip it, that was a mistake since I probably could have used it on the start of the next level. Maybe I could have gone for the invulnerability as well and used some rocket boosts somewhere.
E5M7: Getting past the monsters in the initial corridors was not fun, plasma rifle could have saved a few tics here I guess. Also monsters before red key door was pretty much the same, at least I got past somewhat smoothly. I couldnt use the BFG because of weapon switching being too slow. Some linedefs were moved in the new version which made it easy to skip the raising elevator after red key door. Linedef skip on an east linedef to skip 1 teleporter, I figured I wouldnt bother with the second one, then of course the 3rd one which saves a lot of time.
E5M8: I was a bit low on health so I had to waste a few tics on grabbing the 25% by the spectre. A rocket jump to skip across the barrier and a second mid air rocket to get to the exit :)")
