Description:
This improves the previous record by Looper (30uv2325) set in Dec. 2010. by 22 seconds. Previous record before that was by Radek Pecka (30uv2609) set in Dec. 2003

So this is the second improvement in the last 10 years, though I don't think we will have to wait that long before we see the 23 minute mark broken.

FAQ:
Q: How do you go through gaps in the wall like map 02, 16, 19, 21 and 22 ?
A: This is called a glide, you can go through a gap that is 32 units or larger. If you try yourself to do a glide it's unlikely you'll achieve it by simply trying to walk through yourself without having read some sort of guide on this particular trick.

You can find a list of tricks done in ultimate doom and doom 2 here: http://www.doom.com.hr/index.php?page...

Q: Are you using any modified version of Doom?
A: I don't use any modified WAD, for Doom 2 I use the DOOM2.WAD, which you can now buy on Steam. You can download the demo file (.lmp) and play it using your own copy of the original WAD (DOOM2.WAD), if any modified version was used the demo would have to desync when you play it. Keep in mind that the Doom BFG edition WAD's for Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 are modified, so avoid using those.

Q: Are you using any tools etc?
No tools are used, the demo\recordings are done in Competition Doom v2.0.2.1, the video is made by playing the demo in prboom-plus-2.5.1.3-win32

Q: I have seen a faster run by several minutes etc.
A: You might have seen the TAS run.

Q: What is UV-Speed?
A: UV stands for Ultraviolence, which is the 4th difficulty of doom, and which is most commonly used for speedrunning. Speed is the category where the objective is to finish the level as quickly as possible, in the case of a movie\d2all\single segment run the objective is to start at map 01 and finish map 30, that means that map 31 and map 32 are optional.

In the case for doom 2 it is faster to do map 31 than to do map 15 normally, map 32 is skipped because it does not save time, though it might be included on nightmare since it's an easy map with megasphere (200\200 health\armor) and plasma ammo.

There are many other categories, for example UV-Max requires 100% secrets and 100% kills when possible (and also map 31-32 in a full run). Another difficulty sometimes used is Nightmare. The nightmare difficulty speedrun for doom 2 can be found here:
