      Because its not a "new" strat in the sense that it was found same day.
      Someone breaks the record, the as a response people post their stockpiled runs. This can cause competition and bring more players and interest to the game/genre.

    It is not completely impossible to return into the map from void, however the restrictions are even harsher and practically you need an item placed in the void to help you boost the momentum. This means either the mapper did it on purpose, or you managed to force a pain elemental to spawn a lost soul out of bounds and then led the lost soul to the exact spot needed to void glide back. In which case absolute congrats, you haven't just beaten the game, you humiliated it.

      You humiliated the game, but not yourself. You grew. You improved. You took a different path, and gained much. You may have broken rules, but you forged your own to replace them. You experienced an incredible victory. Everything was risked, and everything was gained. I hope you know the difference.

    @hi-i-am-atan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +574

    Something to note: void gliding off of a monster _doesn't_ actually emulate void gliding over an eastward corner, like you visualized in the video, because actor hitboxes in Doom are always axis-aligned ( thus, being caught between a monster and a diagonal wall doesn't put you into a 90 degree corner, but a 45 degree one ). Instead, the reason why you can substitute a wall for a monster is because collisions between actors _don't affect their momentum._ You can see this pretty much instantly in Doom 2 by booting up a vanilla-accurate source port and running straight into one of the zombiemen on MAP01's staircase - you'll run into it, cease moving even an inch, and yet still have the movement bob effect with your viewpoint and pistol, plus you'll go zooming off at full speed once the zombieman steps out of your way.
    Iirc, because thingrunning is a thing, there's a few more details that go into making the feedback loop that allows for building up void glide speed, but overall the process of void gliding off of a corner and void gliding off of an actor are two entirely different processes that have similar results.

    It's funny how "void glide" sounds so much cooler (and darker) than "tunnel effect", which is a real thing in quantum mechanics.
    I was slightly too young to be able to play DOOM or even Quake as a kid (though I did play DN3D with my dad), but I find these videos truly fascinating. The way these people exploit the game's engine and perfect their runs over years and years, is something between parkour and particle physics.

    Now, this was never mentioned but I kind of just wanna say what I think is why the void has a weird graphical effect.
    Basically, the game doesn't think anyone would come out here, so it doesn't bother drawing frames. This also means it doesn't bother clearing frames. With this in mind, when you enter the void the game is forced to draw the frames of your hand, gun, etc etc. This force doesn't apply to clearing, so it doesn't clear frames and just gives it that messy look. This is what I think, as I sadly don't have the game. If I did, I would look into the code and try to figure out a better way. Don't insult me cause its wrong.. please I'm fragile.

    I remember my brother and I once ran into a glitched Imp while doing this. We found invisible barriers well outside the map and eventually found a corner. Then we got busy doing something else and it just sat there. When we got back to it, an imp was up close scratching us. And it would not die. It had us trapped, scratching constantly.

      @@unhelmet5218 Sounds like some high calibre nonsense to me. There's nothing suspicious about depravity's run, and there's not a single incident in the history of doom speedrunning where "weapon movement" was indicative of something fishy, or "false".
      If anything, this is one of those cases where I'm glad that people with their unqualified opinions aren't something I need to deal with on discord. Nothing annoys me more than false allegations of "cheating" based purely on how somebody doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.

    Ahhh! The joys of "polygon folding" when clipping. Remember it well.
    Don't know if you know this: but original disk install of Doom 1/2 speed was only restricted by 386/486 CPU speed. So when Cyrix 586 MMX chips and pentuims came out they had to patch doom to limit the game speed because it was unplayable. Tap forward key and you were across the map, or bouncing off the game engine out of bounds wall in clipping mode. They certainly rushed the patch out sharpish. If you knew where to aim for the exit, you could speed clip any level in under a second. Main problem was not running straight through the exit and off the map. Maybe you could ask around for original pre-patch copy. CPU speed was 166Mhz and is what 4Ghz + today, not to mention bus speed or SIMMs compared to DDR4. Hell, the entire Doom 1 could get lost in my CPUs L3 cache lol. Just an idea bud.
