Running A Tightrope: DOOM's Most Precarious Speedrun

In this video we will take a long at one of Doom's most difficult and respected speedruns.. The Chasm. It was awesome to be able to go back and dig up the rich history on this level. I suggest you give this level a go, it's incredibly difficult. These speedruns make it look a lot easier than it really is.

No... Don't make a YouTube comment correcting him for calling them "floating skulls." Don't be "that guy" ...

10:07 “I hate ledges.”
13:06 “I love ledges.”

What a great character arc.

[nvhnch]

Early runs: meticulous ledge walking


Late runs: Tony hawk's pro skater ledge manouvers

"Not by just 1 or 2 seconds, but by 3 seconds"


Damn

[BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

'Love the ledges, and they love me'
He genuinely started to sound insane at that point.. I guess speedrunning chasm for a year will do that to a man..

[AdamCDagg]

The developing romance between demonlord and the ledges was a welcome twist in his character arc

[TheFigureofspeech]

this is the most granular explanation of a subject I have zero interest in but somehow I can't stop watching.

[drgzy]

The ledges drove him so mad he began loving them

[dotcom]

_"This was however, before I started to love all ledges, all of them... and they me."_

Yep. The guy just went mad crazy.

[bitorgy]

i just love how this narrator makes these people sound like the pantheon of immortals

[Kortexual]

Damn hearing that Demonlord never held the record for Chasm ever again made me a little sad inside...

[TheFallorn]

Me looking at those walkways:
“Hello you absolute ledges.”

[Azraeltheangelofdeath]

I like how in the beginning they're just inching their way across the ledges and by the end they're just jumping and gliding along them like they're skating not even worrying about falling in

[sillypenta]

"You just need to know where to run, and be very fast."

Words to live by

[squishymada]

"Come on Looper we're about to cut the cake."
"Just give me 32 seconds!"

[ChargeJN]

Demonlord, on The Chasm: “I gotta wash the ledges, I gotta date the ledges, I GOTTA *BE* THE LEDGES!”

[eben]

"not by just 1 or 2 seconds, but by *_3 seconds_* "

[doozy]

"Doom is a very fast paced game"

Me, slowly wandering around maps, looking for health pickups while praying there isn't some demon around a corner: "Yeah right"

[LuLzMrTom]

It's great that there is so much saved footage and documentation for these records that you can make such an in depth video of events that happened over 20 years ago
