A break-down of the strategies used to beat the challenge that was once deemed impossible: Sunlust Map 30 with fast monsters. The zero-press, the arch-vile jumps, the horseshoe maneuver, and the butterfly maneuver made me realize it was possible with saves. Then, it was just a matter of surviving the ordeal single-segment. I took me one month of practice, and 94 attempts. I expected worse.
This was my hardest doom speedrun so far. It took me a lot of study and experimentation to pick the strategies to survive the challenge. Hopefully this tutorial analysis video will help you, if you're interested in trying the challenge yourself. I believe any doom player of medium+ skill level can pull this off, but be aware that it might require some practice. My time is totally beatable, so good luck!
Thanks to the patrons and friends who reviewed this video in early access and helped improve it.
Thanks to 4shockblast, Daerik, and SKYWARDS: I learned a lot from studying your speedruns.
Thanks to decino for helping me brainstorm a few ideas that ended up being in the video.

######## Why no stream? ########
I did not stream this speedrun for several reasons. I've been feeling burned out from streaming and editing videos for the last few months, together with some personal issues. The idea of setting up every tool I usually need to stream felt overwhelming. I just wanted to sit down and play some doom alone. Also, I did not want to be stream-sniped by showing everyone the strategies I put together here. Last but not least, I did the practice & attempts for this run in the morning, which is definitely when I'm at the peak of my performance, but it's a horrible time to stream because most of my audience is asleep. I hope you understand. I want to get back to streaming eventually; but please give me some time. Life's been rough.
