Comments : 0xf00ba12 deserves a lot of credit for the effort that he made to get the first sub 3 minute max run for this level, particularly for opting to record in the original executable through dosbox. I have moved away from recording through dosbox, mostly using crispy-doom nowadays, though I held off on trying this run again for quite a while because I was reluctant to do so without going back to dosbox for it. The community has moved away from restricting itself to the original executable, which is a decision I support, but I still respect the vanilla runs enough to think twice about it. Ultimately, I don't want to have a double-standard about it, plus I'm not sure if I would have been able to stream attempts in dosbox (I haven't tried).

That aside, this run went about as well as it needed to in order to get a decent improvement. That is, a lot of good infighting needs to happen at the blue key area before returning to clean it up. The first pass could either be taken without firing or trying to take out some enemies on the way through, which is more risky since you can get bounced around by archviles, but it paid off here since I was able to kill a cyberdemon on the way out. There were a couple ugly missed BFG shots but otherwise, this went well enough to be satisfied and not dump a lot more time into it hoping for a better outcome. Enjoy!
