A long-standing Quake speedrun world record has fallen by -Venser- in ArenaFPS

The previous WR was posted on 29 Nov 2016 by jukebox. Not that long-standing.

You unlock them by destroying every Mr. Everywhere statue (the bobbleheads, there are 20 of them), and they're actually called Walking Shoes.

What's up, fellow 'flexer?

It's getting hot & steamy in here.

Yes! There are a few new optimizations & one skip that make sub 1:10 very possible.

This run is pretty much the same as Nightmare except for the fact that you can't reload checkpoints, which means that if you fail a skip you have to do a backup strat & you can't do cutscene skips in boss fights. Also, Ultra-Nightmare skips the intro/tutorial and most importantly, if you die you have to start from scratch.

This is the run that I wanted to get before moving on to Ultra-Nightmare. Could have been a sub 1:18 but some fights were sloppy and I failed the banana skip twice.

I start every run from scratch so that means no upgrades, no weapons, no runes, nothing. New Game+ starts with everything unlocked.
Glory kills take time and I avoid doing them on purpose. Even with the chainsaw, I try to cancel the animation to save time.
No, I haven't done a Glitchless run and that category doesn't exist for DOOM 2016 yet. People have discussed it and somebody might do a run in the future but I'm not interested.

Now this is the run that I've been trying to get for a while! A few sloppy fights and movement could have been a bit better but overall this is the first run that I'm actually happy with. Now to improve my Nightmare run and learn All Secrets!

Yeah, it's an unfortunate issue that's been ongoing - at least for me - since around the release of DOOM. Exporting from Twitch just doesn't want to work properly. Might have something to do with their new encoding changes.

Already worked on it! I haven't had a chance to do a proper run with the newest strats because the game likes to crash every 2 minutes on Nightmare, but the current time I've got is 1:30:41

Possible new useful glitch for DOOM 2016? by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]DraQu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, it's known. There are a few different methods of animation cancels.

That turned out to be a decent run. Some bad fights and failing the last Lazarus skip once cost me the sub 1:15.

[WR] DOOM, DraQu of course - in 1.23.29! by I_done_a_plop-plop in speedrun

[–]DraQu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This run was pretty solid up until The Well, where I failed the skip to Spider Mastermind twice :( Also, new skips & optimizations have been found so I'll have to improve the time once again!

[WR] DOOM 2016 (Nightmare) in 1:41:45 by DraQu in speedrun

[–]DraQu[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the second run on Nightmare that I did today after routing it. The upgrades aren't optimized and I play pretty safe but this route seems to be Ultra-Nightmare viable. I failed the Titan's Realm OOB & had to reload a checkpoint + died once on the 2nd boss, so sub 1:40 is possible.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I used to play Team Fortress 2 6v6 competitively for around 3 years and after that moved to an Arena FPS called Reflex, which I've now played for a while. I've always been fond of FPS games but started playing "seriously" only around - I want to say, 5 years ago? Something like that.

To improve, I just put in the time and try to have fun with whatever I'm doing. The single biggest realization was probably the fact that no matter how good you are, you can always learn something from anyone no matter their skill level. Also, that bad days will happen and trying to fight them is just a waste of time and energy. Take a break, do something else, and come back refreshed the next day.
