litwr Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) DSDA page IMHO this wad (http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=8714) is underestimated by the speedrunners. It looks very unusual and unlinear. I've just made several UV Max for it - [removed old DSDA link - Maribo] :-) I hope somebody may slightly improve my humble results. ;-) Edited February 28, 2023 by Maribo 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
litwr Posted January 6, 2014 Thank you! I hope you also enjoy this wad. The shown way to make arch-viles at map01 is astonishing! How long did it take to find it? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted January 6, 2014 I tried this wad several times but something always puts me off. Can't quite put it in words. One theory is that the monster density is just too high for me. Every room is stuffed with enemies and often it's just cannon fodder, not a real threat. And as far as I remember, you aren't given that much rockets/plasma so it isn't even mindless fun like in many Kama Sutra maps for example. Some of the designs are quite cool and unique though. MAP31 is very sick. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
GrumpyCat Posted January 6, 2014 Map03 UV-Max 4:10 Thanks! For map 01 it was the third exit (the first one was on god-mode) and it's obvious easy way to deal with those arch-viles. Even if they hit you, you have plenty of hp.1k03-410.zip 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
4shockblast Posted January 6, 2014 Map 01 UV max in 7:32, first exit. Map 01 Nomo in 0:20.94. Based on map 01, I kind of agree with Memfis that the map had too many monsters and not enough rockets and plasma to make it very enjoyable to max.1k01.zip 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted January 7, 2014 Yes, it is time based ("door close, wait 30 seconds and open" type action) and it's important to know that each line of that key pedestal has that trigger so I guess it might be a good idea to try and cross them all before fighting. (so you don't wait 30 seconds, then activate the trigger again and wait 30 more seconds) Which monster was unreachable btw? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
4shockblast Posted January 7, 2014 Did some quick speedruns for map 04, so I'll post them in this thread. Map 04 Pacifist in 0:03 (Also Reality). Map 04 NM-Speed in 0:03. Map 04 Nomo in 0:03.26.1k04.zip 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
litwr Posted January 8, 2014 UV Max, Map01, 7:32, without any preparation - is this right?! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
4shockblast Posted January 8, 2014 litwr said:UV Max, Map01, 7:32, without any preparation - is this right?! I watched GrumpyCat's max, and I noticed a bunch of changes that could be done to speed it up (like getting the green armor first and going to the super shotgun quicker). I had some attempts prior to this that failed at before I reached the super shotgun. This is the first time I actually got the super shotgun and killed all the monsters in the first area, and the first time I exited. So, it's not a first attempt demo, but it didn't take too long. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

There are some floating shits there, and those usually rise up to get slain, but there was a monster not flying up. I wondered if it was actually an imp. at least it was shooting some w/e-balls 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted January 8, 2014 Hm, they are all cacodemons... Maybe you just weren't patient enough o,o. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
4shockblast Posted January 10, 2014 After watching GrumpyCat's max, I thought map 03 looked somewhat fun, so here's a max in 3:36. I preferred it to map 01. I haven't looked at map 31 yet.1k03-336.zip 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
GrumpyCat Posted January 10, 2014 I tried map 31 on -fast, there are two problems =) One with that second caco, waited more than minute, it don't want to go up. Second is with the cross trap with cacos and av, very low chances of surviving. Saving megasphere helps but then the first part is pure hell, and i can't reach the elevator to the cave...

vdgg Posted March 13, 2023 MAP12 UV Max in 9:47. "Strage (!) Universe" gets often negative reviews, and I was actually lured to this map by "MAP12 is just terrible" bit by @NuMetalManiak I like it, though, because it is unorthodox. 1k12-947.zip 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
