E4M8 comparison is not relevant. E4M1-E4M7 time is improved by 12 seconds.
E4M8 is not counted towards the episode record. The reason M8 is not included is because dos version does not display the time for the final map. Even though that is no longer relevant as sourceports can determine the time, the convention is still kept.
Description: This was a very fun episode to run, I might improve this further. I do E4M6 a bit differently to the way stx-vile does it, my way is much safer, but also a few seconds slower. I use the same idea I used for 30pn4357 on map 24, I kill the cyberdemon with BFG plasma balls (some tracers hit too this time). However, I make up for the time loss with a much better route for E4M7.
Unlike episode 2 and 3 this episode has very little luck involved with the route that I use, E4 on UV is also the hardest of the episodes, mostly because I use the same strategy to kill the cyber as stx-vile used in his NM run, which is to run up to the cyber and try to BFG him before he kills you. There is no way I am going through the same pain as I went through with ep4-0311 by dying over and over to the cyber.
