Probably the only youtuber who can type a description that's just as interesting and captivating as the video itself. Love your work man, thanks for awesome content and congrats on yet another record!
I love the little smiley faces he puts alongside the times in the description. Adds a bit of personality to the run, they tell a story in and of themselves.
Thank you for everything you do. A lot of practice and patience I bet goes into this. On top of the fact you happen to be the greatest of all time. Cheers from Ohio
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you! Made my Saturday morning! :D So excited to see this! Edit: Also thank you for keeping the music and having the whole epic experience in all it's glory play out! It really brings me back and is how I can only wish and dream of being able to play it! So awesome! Edit 2: To this day after all these years it's hard to think of any other game/speedrun that feels as exhilarating as this!
I love how you saved time by killing the cacodemon while the Spider mastermind was dying rather than leaving the Spider for last and waiting for it's death animation to finish.
I love a good UV-Max speedrun. They're so satisfying because you know they must've been really stressful to play, but you get to see it in its perfected form, and you know right from the start of every map that no demon gets out alive >:)
Huh. I was always annoyed by the crushers in E3M4 breaking the floor-raising switches, but I never thought of the raising floor cancelling the crusher! And wow, just the act of killing the last cacodemon after the spider is why I could never be a speedrunner.
oof this run has a lot of painful moments, and I mean a lot ... honestly, a low 16 would be more than possible with that routing and *just* good RNG. Like come on, Slough of Despair's Pinkies taking 3!!! Berserk punches? Last Imp at Cathedral taking ages to spawn? A freaking Pinky tanking a rocket to the face in that Warrens' corridor? I agree with your description, this could be improved so much further, cause this run was painful to watch thanks to that awful RNG.
i remember looper saying it's mostly skill, not luck about doom speed running in general. great player, but i wholeheartedly disagree - it's a lot of both.
@@isawedthedemons The skills are there and well executed. I'm sure everyone watching the video will agree that Zero's skills are superb! But a single pinky in the entire map dying from one Berserk Punch is quite unlucky. The Berserk Punch has a damage range of 20 - 200! and a Pinky has 150 health, low chance? Sure, but not to that extend. The worst offender, tho, was that Cacodemon after he grabbed the Berserk at Slough of Despair. Taking 6 punches when he has 400 health, you can see how that is simply just the game picking low damage values instead of mid or best. There IS a lot more of RNG screwing up that made this run less great and that's of course, none but the game's fault. I could go into more detail tbh, since that was just a small part that I covered.
Hi, ZM. Is DSDA the best vanilla port right now? I loved PrBoom and PrBoom+ but looks like both of them stopped being developed and DSDA is the best continuation for Boom vanilla concept for now.
@@De-M-oN I went to digging "In Doom II and Doom v1.666, lost souls were modified to no longer affect the player's kill score, so it is possible to achieve 100% kills without destroying any lost souls found in a level. This was undoubtedly due to the addition of the pain elemental. However, in console ports such as the PlayStation and Saturn versions of Doom, they are still considered part of the kill score, easily pushing the kill ratio past 100%. This is because of their inheritance from the Atari Jaguar source, which predated Doom II's development. This was corrected for Doom 64."
Player is not suposed to running around punching out the deamons - Alfonso John Romero If you think so. -Zero Master No really absuolutely smart punch and gunplay maximalizing the damage. Love it.
Can we all just all agree for ONE freaking day of 2024, to have any CHILL, whatsoever? Like it starts off bad, then America starts bombing yemen, then the doom music kicks in Texas, and now the doom slayer himself has entered the chat…..like my guys, zaza. Please for the sake of humanity. Hit the jeezy!!!!

exactly
alot of other speedrunners will often have no description at all, and if you dont know the game then it just dosent makes sense to me...
it's a very general practice among DooM speedrunners
I love the little smiley faces he puts alongside the times in the description. Adds a bit of personality to the run, they tell a story in and of themselves.
but it's always like: E1M1: 7:59 :(((
Zero master: 33 seconds faster than the previous WR
Also zero master: after a few attempts, got this awful run
it's not awful, everything Zero does is magnificent to his fans
@@jonathan19947read the description
3:10 wow! Thought you were doomed...
1% hp it's all you need.
Zero Master just gets bored and decides to beat a world record or 2.
GG!
Saturday morning DooM with my coffee.
Thank you for everything you do. A lot of practice and patience I bet goes into this. On top of the fact you happen to be the greatest of all time.
Cheers from Ohio
The master at work. Thank you again for creating this great content, Zero Master.
Okay.... so this is how the last avenger of Doom looks like. Good job sir and keep going. Youre an inspiration for us.
That baron telefrag was chefs kiss.

Always impressive, even your so-called 'ugly' runs. Great stuff. Cheers
Unreal work! So sweet
Why doesn't this game ever stop being fun?
That's a sign of a true classic
nostalgia, simplicity, historical significance, and just being a very well designed game that's pleasing to look at.
@@isawedthedemonsNot to mention the incredible sound design.
I love a good UV-Max speedrun.
They're so satisfying because you know they must've been really stressful to play,

lost souls get a free pass)
When you got sent to hell but you need to get home and feed your bunny twenty minutes from now.
at 1% health, still continues charging into spectres punching them out! And later in run just blow rockets up in face to save time =D
Noice My gawd all those secrets in E3M5!? Even after 30 years I don't think I've ever seen half of them
THE LEGEND STILL AT IT!
Congrats to being mentioned in John's book
very good
Glad to see zero master broaden out to running mike Tysons punch out. So much punching.
Soundtrack SLAPS from Hell Keep forward. Bring back MIDI!!!
Impressive run for a simple mortal like me xD. I hope you can get that sub 16 for the next one!
He beat this whole episode faster than I can beat Unholy Cathedral or Limbo!
3:09 that was close 😳
My Master is back
The Doom G.O.A.T at it again
I had no idea you could telefrag the Baron on E3M5. That's a cool trick!
Another Zero Master's boxing crash course.
Huh. I was always annoyed by the crushers in E3M4 breaking the floor-raising switches, but I never thought of the raising floor cancelling the crusher!
And wow, just the act of killing the last cacodemon after the spider is why I could never be a speedrunner.
3:01 BRB 1%
Another one, lol! GGs, ZM!
nice, grats, this one didn't take very long
Amazing, again.
Many will say this is TAS, failing to realize that Zero Master is what TAS is trained on.
The fact that ultimate doom doesnt count lost souls is like a godsend for these maps huh
The most incredible part is when pinky survived a rocket
❤❤🎉🎉🎉 excellent run doom god
Those poor demons never had a chance
thank you
*demon punching intensifies*
Zero Master is the goat
1% gaming for the win!
Wow being trapped in Ultimate Doom sure has made Doomguy upset ...
blud is built different
god damn he's good

@@davidchez513 no need to go into detail. a lot of things use rng and it can make even the best players falter a bit.
Another box match it was less boxing then ep2 tho haha GGs
3:06 is pretty clutch lol
GG
hello from Russia! great video
3:09 😱
Keep going
"WAKE UP HONEY, IT'S 4 AM AND A NEW DOOM RECORD FROM ZERO-MASTER JUST DROPPED!"
"Yes dear..." Every time, Zero, I love it. Damn great run!
Can anyone let me know why the Cacodemons survive the BFG9000 so often?
Strange question. It’s ether cause of the RNG or because the BFG tracers prioritise ground target and have a vertical angle limit.
❤❤❤❤❤
Zero master is real life doom
👍
After episode 4, ZM will try to speedrun sigil 1 and 2 😂
1% hype
i heard it takes zeromaster longer to type up the description than the actual wr run
are the stats on the bottom left corner and the secret revealed messages playback only, or do you have those on when you're actually doing runs?
Hi, ZM. Is DSDA the best vanilla port right now? I loved PrBoom and PrBoom+ but looks like both of them stopped being developed and DSDA is the best continuation for Boom vanilla concept for now.
yes.
@@ZeroMasterthank you for reply.
i really love it, but i can't get it to feel like my crispy doom setup, which is perfect. if anyone can help with that, i'm all ears.
Only ZM can run past like 20 Lost Souls in melee range with 29% and not take a single point of damage.
not sure if this run was particularly serious at first i saw alot of fisting and thought he was having fun but zero is the master
Zero Master: None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with ME!
congratulations, you're the 9,223,372,036,854,775,807th person to make that joke.
I didn't know that lost souls don't count towards enemies killed
which I find dumb tbh :D
In GZDoom they do count though (which I find good)
@@De-M-oN I went to digging "In Doom II and Doom v1.666, lost souls were modified to no longer affect the player's kill score, so it is possible to achieve 100% kills without destroying any lost souls found in a level.

@@De-M-oN iirc lost souls don't count as they tend to occasionally get stuck outside of the map when spawned by pain elementals.
Player is not suposed to running around punching out the deamons
- Alfonso John Romero
If you think so.
-Zero Master
No really absuolutely smart punch and gunplay maximalizing the damage. Love it.
he run well i aggree and ponch good wow!!!! this fantistic!!!!
you are a friggin legend Zero, just like my favorite mega man x character : p
Are you going to pursue doom 2 uvmax record?
Ok, got it. It's long run but I'm still curious how low you can go.
would you also do Doom 2 D2all uv max ?
probably not, would take a lot of time
@@ZeroMaster no, you should true max each episode of ultimate doom. i wanna see you pick up items like a convict doing community service.
Do lost souls not count in the kill %?
They don't, they can be ignored in a UV-Max run.
I love how you still constantly show your pacifist playthrough skills randomly on some runs. That playthrough is still impossiblely impressive.
03:06 🤨 03:08 😐 03:11 😎
Gate to limbo is my least favorite map
Faster slow mod tas Speedrun 😂😂😂😂

you will never achieve greatness
