-----------------------------------------------
Couldn't do a run without saves due to the sheer number of awful tricks in this run. Thanks to some new routes from Mhrz on maps 1 and 3, there's a whole lot more room to save time, but as a result the run has now become unbearable.

L2M1 :)
The new jump at the start of the map is just the worst. There's almost no room for error and killing enemies takes too long, so I just go for it and hope things go well. I used a surprisingly difficult jump out of a different window by the massive skull button, which is a bit faster. Some different routing in the neon maze, but nothing too groundbreaking.

L2M2 :|
The jump here still sucks. There's also a rocket jump that's near-impossible on ITYTD and easy on higher difficulties, but this route doesn't require any rockets and seems more consistent either way.

L2M3 :))
Very solid map 3. I sorta messed up the new route, which involves spawn-killing all the Pinkies as you're on the rising pillar, but I pulled it together.

L2M0 :)
The dumb linedef skip at the start is another awful trick that almost forces you to use saves - seems completely random and saves 10 seconds if you get it. The Cyberdemon frequently snipes you out of the air at the last jump, but luckily that didn't happen this time.

L2M4 :|
Terrible start, and the end was pretty bad due to the Hell Knight teleporting in late. A rocket jump directly to the blue key is possible on higher difficulties but not on ITYTD.

L2M5 :))
Some better weapon usage makes this map go by way faster. Sub-3:00 is a very solid time for this map. Not much else to talk about here - Calamity Blade is OP.

L2M6 :)))
This was the best map 6 I've ever had either in runs or in practice. I don't know what I did to finish the final fight so quick, but it really saved this run. The rest of the map went alright; the Arch-Viles were very nice to me.

L2M7 :|
I really should have died at the start; getting caught on a wall like that is exactly you shouldn't do. Other than that, nothing to note.
