Doom 2 in under an Hour - Doom 2 GZDOOM Speedrun 09-02-2022
5Hey Guys, Lil Johnny Red here with my first and possibly last full speedrun of Doom 2 using the GZdoom 4.6.1 port, Enjoy :D
"DO NOT SUMBIT THIS TIME TO ANY SPEED RUN ARCHIVE, IT'S NOT A TRUE 100% VANILLA RUN... this was something I thought it would be fun to do"
Notes - In case you've skipped the first 20 or so seconds I'll lay out how i'm doing the run.
- I'll be playing it as close to vanilla as I wanted to.
* I've disabled Freelook, Crouch and Jumping and Re-enabled Auto-aim
*I have however left the Infinitely tall actors thing off because I hated that shit growing up, to counter this I left the lost soul spawn limiter off as well
*I've kept my graphical settings i use for GZdoom as well which seems to make visibility in dark sectors even darker so that could pose even more issues for me. "Consider it a compromise"
All in 1 life, no saves, just beat the game as quickly as possible... My Goal was 2 hours.

Since I did my damn Homework for this one, as speedrunning Doom 2 is a completely different way to play it rather than playing it normally
Thomas Pilger - For his October 15 1998 Nightmare Full game speedrun.

"Watched more than 4 times as research"
Karl Jobst - A speedrunning youtuber that has documented speedruns and techniques from many games, A few of them Included Doom Speedrunning.

"His vids on the subject were very helpful as well, and might've been the inspiration to get the ball rolling on me attempting this"
Zero Master - I was led to his runs by Jobst, and was also looking at it for potential research and stuff like that... I wasn't able to incorporate some of the wild stuff seen in his runs but It did give me a general idea on how to tackle certain sections.
His 17:59 Run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPxA7h4Qsnw
"holy moly that is some next level doom magic... makes my run looks pitiful, but something to learn from too"
I posted my sources, because to be frank without even doing my homework on this subject the whole process might've been a lot more painful.
