[DOOM 2] MAP20 Nightmare 100%S - New World Record

Game: Doom II
Map: map20 - Gotcha!
Category: Nightmare 100% secrets
Time: 1:24

Got three demos in one for you here. First one is a new world record by two seconds, using a tiny route change. I was recording demo after demo here, and kept on getting one second improvements that somehow still had glaring flaws each time. Then I realised you didn't actually need to get the supercharge, and came up with the jump you see near the start of the level. It's not hard to line up, the only difficulty is that the lower health does make the next part of the level up to the megasphere a bit harder.

The second demo here equals the old world record and is run on the original route, just to show I'm not relying on a cheap route improvement to get a decent time.

And the third demo... well, call this one a blooper. Something happens at the start that I never saw again in any of my tries and if I'd been quick enough to take advantage I'd have definitely set a strong world record. But that's not quite what happens... All I'll say in my defence is that it was a very early run and I was very rusty. But yes, this is more my typical playing skill...

There's a rising platform that usually gets triggered when you fall back into the slime, forcing you to run nearly a full circle round to get out of there. That didn't happen here and I was able to take a shortcut to the supercharge.

This might sound a bit silly, but what happened in the third demo? Is it something to do with the second elevator after the supercharge?
