[TAS] Scythe Map 28 UV Speed in 0:33.97 by Adam Hegyi
Information in the text files submitted alongside demos may contain errors, missing information, links that are now dead, or contact info that is no longer valid. In particular many .txt files refer to doomedsda.us, a demo archive that no longer exists. Generally everything is left as-is with the goal to accurately represent the material as it appears in the archive, however in the case of this upload the full text file is too large for the video description and has been edited during the upload process to fit. Links to the PWAD & Demo on dsdarchive.com are found at the bottom of the description.
Additional note from uploader: the intention of this demo was show that all kills are possible, but it misses all secrets so does not qualify for UV Max. The intention of this demo was not to be a UV Speed demo but it most closely falls under that category.

The DSF Scythe Multi-Skill! lmp collection
------------------------------------------
Recorded by Erik Alm, Casey "Altima_Mantoid" Alvis, Angus_Thermopyle,

This is a collection of recorded demos (lmps) for all 32 levels of
Scythe. All levels were completed on skill 4 (UV) with 100% kills
and 100% secrets, where possible.
But not only that, we've also included a collection of speedrun
demos, one for each level (and sometimes more than one!). These
demos just blaze through the level as fast as possible, using
all manner of tricks. Trust us - you WILL be amazed :)
But not only *that*, we've also included a collection of NightMare!
skill demos. While it didn't prove possible to finish the
whole set on NightMare skill, we've still managed to put
together a set of 25 demos. Most of these are nearly as fast
as the UV speedruns...
That's *ninety three* demos in all. You won't be bored :)
To playback these demos, put them in your doom2 directory and type:
doom2 -file scythe.wad -playdemo sc??-uv (maxkill demo)
doom2 -file scythe.wad -playdemo sc??-sp (speedrun demo)
doom2 -file scythe.wad -playdemo sc??-nm (nightmare demo)
where ?? is the level number.

General Pack Comments
Erik Alm
I am very happy about all the demo action on my wad. I have
always wanted to make a megawad of my own and I am glad
that I finally pulled it off despite my extremely low
inspiration and motivation towards the end. Some really
good demos in this pack, I especially like Vile's maxes of
the ep3 maps, but all demos are nice really. Thanks to all
the players for playing and for your nice comments. Special
thanks to Vile and QWERTY for their excellent comments
during betatesting.
Adam Hegyi
Scythe got a warm welcome from the speedrunning community - and
rightly so. The maps are diverse and great for both the runs
and maxkills. The difficulty is nicely tuned, just about right.
I had great fun playing this set. I hope you like the demos :)
SC-28 - Run From It (Adam)
I figured these out after I saw Vile's demo. I'm really
not sure if this map was ever designed for Max, but
as I demonstrated in the TAS demo 100% kills is achievable.
It is really really tricky though as I spent a lot of
time even in TAS just to get the last kill. If you watch
with headphones on you'll notice how close it is before
I exit. I also did a much easier one with 95% kills. Actually
in this one the voodoo doll is making the slide possible.
With a normal corpse the CG'er would have no reason to fire
at ya.

That's it - enjoy the lmps!
