a very cool map!
I intended to go on challenging the time and get below 9 minutes, but had a very pleasant guest this week as well... and had better to do (:
checking the cchest2 package, i read some previous runners being very happy to reach somewhat around 10minutes, so I guess this time was good enough already for an upload.
the map is a good mixture of narrow and large areas, where weapon choice can again make you fast or slow. I decided in this route to save plasma and most of the rockets for the ending part. regrouping & infighting are important to save time.
last min edit: the previous DSDA record was 10:34 by Tomas Kollar


note:
as recently got to know, the complevel parameter is actually rather influent in a few cases when speedrunning. from now on will pay more attention to those and follow the vanilla or boom compatibility according to the kind of wads (always used boom default one so far). My apologies to every1 following my demos and couldnt eventually playback those, or the people who were trying to improve the times, I wasnt in that parameter yet, and I just ignored the possible advantages (or disadvantages) coming from a different complevel when recording.
the cchest2.wad should follow a boom complevel 9 parameter.
Special thanks to tatsurdcacocaco giving informations !

note2:
