Description:
Finally this nightmare comes to an end!
This has taken me a lot of time, it's been almost 4 months since I was only 7 seconds away from my goal.
I made a video of some of my deaths here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAt_OTvIv00
Note that I've changed the route for map 09 so I don't die by the door anymore, though the rocket jump that I now do is not very easy, so I still fail this map a lot. Also not shown in the video above (I've died a lot more since then) is an arch-vile spawn on map 30 that I had in a run that was even better than this, which is as unlucky as you can possibly get.
A few comments about this run:
At first I thought the time wasn't going to be good enough, but the first 12 maps went extremely well, the first 10 maps were only 4 seconds slower than my best, with map 11 and 12 I think this might have been my best run up until map 13.
Unfortunately I got blocked by an arachnotron on map 13, that's very rare. It might have been because I fired my chaingun a frame or so too early\late, I'm not sure, either way this usually never happens. The second big time loss was map 21, I need to get that glide very quickly, this time I failed to kill the imps with the SSG, so I also failed the glide costing 5 seconds.
The biggest time loss was on map 30, again I get some bad luck here... last time I got an arch-vile which just straight up threw me off the elevator and that's it. So a revenant isn't the worst, I also believe the chance of homing rockets are 50%, it would never had hit me if it wasn't a homing rocket. Finally it also did 60 damage (which pushes me further) so I barely missed the rocket, I think with a lower damage roll it would have worked.
