A 20 Year Old DOOM Record Was Finally Broken 

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for em.

Ya, I don't know why we are measuring in seconds though. They even have a separate clock to account for this. A whole second wasn't actually shaved off I bet from the previous record.

Hilarious!!! :)))))

@@deoxal7947 It may seem unfair, but in either sense, the new record is still a breaking record.

@@macaryl95 I'm not saying it's unfair, just that they should use a more precise clock or count frames instead. He even explained the run was frame perfect. Speedrunners of games without clocks displayed to the player do just that.

@@Anudorini-Talah you can find it in a few seconds using the search bar over the video. This video is about the story behind it

Absolute legend pls

It was only held that long because of the rule of using the ingame timer which counts full seconds. The original record was 9.91 seconds and a number of people beat it over the years, even down to just three frames over 9 seconds (9.085 s), but since the timer only counts full seconds they were officially tied with the record holder. Personally I don't like this sort of timing, precisely for this reason. Especially since we can trivially count the number of frames in the demo file for an exact time down to 1/35th of a second. In my opinion, if you beat the previous even by a frame, you deserve the record, instead of having to hit an arbitrary threshold of how much better you need to be to get the record (in this case, 0.91 seconds better).

@@tylisirn Agreed

@@tylisirn Though they might not have tried to get sub 9 if that was the case.

It's more about persistence than anything to get a 9, especially now with so much more info. To get a 9 now is not even comparable to getting a 9 in 98'.

🤔 Looks like we have a trend emerging from the shadows... The original 9-second E1M1 run from Thomas also had 3 damage boosts.

They are very similar runs on a deeper basis: they were the WRs on the first levels of their games, and were notably long-lasting. They also cut time through what could only be described as insanely good movement.

This kind of video is great. While its great to have videos by you and RWG about GE and PD, other speedruns in games like Doom are great to know about.

I always felt like the problem with speedrunning PC games is that the hardware and setup isn't the exact same. You never know what kind of graphics card someone else could be using to give them an advantage. Also it's very easy to cheat.

@@RaniaIsAwesome its very easy to catch cheaters too

Going to say it again, lots of love to speedrunners, since using willpower to bend your mind to be able to do it really is going to make flames ignite.

Well, it's actually just simple vector math. You just do player player x pos (or y) = velocity + (player acceleration * delta time). Delta time is the time between frames in order to keep updates constant at higher framerates. However, Doom is capped at 35fps so it uses a constant delta time, which is 1/35th a second.

Considering that Carmack, the lead programmer, is a certified rocket scientist I would guess the game itself has some solid mathematical underpinnings.

@@karljobst No problem mate.

This is entirely untrue. N-key rollover varied depending on the design of the keyboard, it wasn't a hard and fast limit. Furthermore, it was impossible to use anything other than a PS/2 keyboard for the first SEVERAL YEARS of Doom's life, during which SR50 was most definitely used, because USB keyboards didn't even exist yet!

@@linguica Going to have to downvote you. Reason being the stock 3-key rollover was the standard bank data limit for interrupt 0x13h (keyboard) on both the 386 and 486 chipset. This was due to register availability being limited to 2 16 bit registers at the time the interrupt occoured in protected mode. (CX, DX), BX is used to adjust BP/SP and is never adjusted by CPU interrupt, AX is reserved to hold onto the carry for the accumulator. A maximum of 3 keys + shift flags could be sent via INT 13h bank return value. The stack remains unchanged, this is an old intel interrupt standard which has since changed. This was a limit regardless of PS/2 and USB standards (USB of which didn't progress until much later on). If you had a keyboard that could respond to more than 3-key rollovers, you most likely where running a terminate-memory resident driver that stuffs data through the interrupt or hooks it to emulate its presence and provides a compatibility layer to fit the standard. Bear in mind these keyboards introduced a software workaround to a hardware problem and as a result always introduced input latency to the equation (bad for the speedrunner, in this case) By stock standards, 3-key rollover was the limit. If you had a keyboard that had a driver, sure. I could tell you that keyboards free of the N-key scan code limitation where expensive. Perhaps a few enthusiasts had a hold of such hardware and driver support. Many of us did not. I was still on mail order floppy disks in that day. What I said is not "entirely untrue". I stated what the standards where. If you had access to these types of keyboards with proper terminate-memory resident drivers, sure, you could make it work. But it wasn't standard. I can assure you the developers didn't take into account these (non-standard) solutions to the rollover problems at the time.

The moment he mentioned 4 keys I remembered how obnoxiously loud the sound from the case speaker was when you pressed more than 3 keys. It was intense :p

God bless you, you cured my cancer.

Crazy, right? I was never really interested in this stuff either, but videos of Karl and other Dudes frequently showed in my recomendations. And actually, it is quite interresting and oh boy, this dudes have some fucking skill! Especially games I've played myself are very interesting to see. Like the masterpiece of Doom. And this run is purely insane. Defenetly not a thing for me to do, I would defenetly not enjoy it, but it's cool people do it.

@@sagichdirdochnicht4653 I had just finished watching a Phelous and a C&Rsenal video when Karl Jobst's Henning Blom video showed up in my recommended and I thought "Oh hey, Goldeneye, I played the shit out of that a kid, why not" Now I've watched all of his and RWhiteGoose's videos. XD

Yea, some of the other YT people have to hype up everyone as LEGENDARY and hype shit up too much. It's speedrunning, it's not that big, only gamers out there that are 'legendry' are Faker, Boxer, Daigo, and Fatal1ty. He called Ocelot legendary in this, which might be a bit of an overstatement, but true enough in regards to the old school DOOM era. Otherwise he keeps everything factual and is very good at explaining mechanics and importance while being both reasonable and passionate.

I never used to care at all about speedrunning, the idea of watching others play games bored me, but Summoning Salt changed that and got me into it, and many others said the same about SS, his videos are amazing. And now I've found this channel which is also brilliant and I'm going through all his videos. A good content creator can make stuff that you have no interest in seem interesting, and it's true of this channel for sure.

Same with him Rwhitegoose, and summoning I've really gotten into the community and started running a few games myself

Did you play in doom 95???

Man my dramatic intro was just too important i had to ditch it for this vid :( i got your back at the end of the vid though

@@De-M-oN he he, you are right. what a feeling. however, these types, I bet they just go "Well, now I know it is possible. Just have to put in another 50 000 tries, and make sure to record it" :-D

@@stevepittman3770 True dat --- however, i think it becomes a sort of job/occupation-like, mundane routine... These guys must have a talent for being able to postpone rewards. Personally, I like to have everything right about now. :-)

for the first time ever, have u never played doom

As someone who has been playing Doom for a long ass time and just now started to want to speedrun it, I agree. I'm probably never going to post anything more than just PBs on pWADs because of how legendary some of these records are, and I know I cannot compete.

Same lol. I have attempted doing a couple of the levels but I can't get the lines they run down at all

I was checking out comments as I had just heard about all this whilst adding random mods to these old DOOM games. I've been doing modifications for a long while now and used to think my mod would never reach completion. Though it's mostly frankenstein'd codes made from other modders put into a single package (thus why I could never truly release any of it for public use due to simple courtesy and respect to the original modders), it was never truly about being accepted by someone else or even making my name appear on a plaque. It was for me and me alone. These speedrunners you see in this video? Understand that these guys lost hours upon hours of their lives that they can never get back. Who KNOWS what they have or are still missing out on because of this hobby (or habit, depending on your worldview)? This is a very serious, personal adventure that one goes on. Maybe they are showing off. Maybe that makes them feel good. Wouldn't it you? To feel accepted? Some will do it for just that, but there's more to it than that, deep down. You did it for you and you alone. That's sometimes something that many people on this good Earth struggle to do. Often times (too many times, in-fact...), I see people constantly trying to please someone else and not themselves. It's nice you care about someone, but that's not why you were put on this Earth. You were put on this Earth to live, just as everyone else was. Living means doing. Doing means doing what you love. These legends you speak of are not that different from you and I and even though it's hard to think about...They once started right where every new speed runner is starting right now as we speak. My mod's nearing completion as we speak (though, with game design/game modification, it's never truly complete, just put on hold lol) and that makes me feel amazing. To think I came this far and learned as much as I did about coding. If I truly wanted to, I could maybe make my own officially released mod some day. No matter how small or big it is, it's what it means to you that counts. Never forget that.

It's the same reason people are scared to play Quake. Walk into any remaining server, 6/10 people are friends and will wipe the floor with you if they so much as smell you around "that corner".
