i am excited to see how further it could possibly be optimized, it could be like super mario bros, or this could be the world record and a perfect run, idk but ye
Been watching speedruns for a couple years and so far this is probably one of my favorites. Such a greta amount of skill, calculations, mechanics, aiming, routing, complexity, speed, swag, and other words that describe how awesome this run.
The movement in this run was so intense I started getting seasick and had to take a break. Absolutely incredible speed and precision to keep up for two straight hours.
This might be the most impressive run of the event. The skill required and the ability to maintain that pace for that duration is off the charts. Amazing!!
Awesome run! This was really fun to watch. I love these types of runs more, because I really don’t care for many of the 3-D games, third or first person runs, where the focus is primarily glitching out of bounds. I love watching speed runs where the runner mostly stays in bounds and actually plays the game with ridiculous skill like this one.
Excellent run and with amazing movement, Mute! The couch commentary was also excellent, you could tell the people on there were very passionate and knowledgeable about the game which made for a very entertaining run
Imagine a timeline where Moroccan Spiced Chicken With Toasted Vegetables could have been called something boring like Lift Skip, and be thankful we’re living in such a spicy world lol
34:55 NOOOO he didn't collect it! I saw the end screen say 16/17, and so did he. Rewinding to the map screen frames, the same secret is missing on both fast travels, so he actually fast traveled a little too soon. There's no way he's replaying half the level for that later on, right? Gotta wait and see... Edit: yeah, the run wasn't valid sadly. Still a great showcase of the game/category, who cares about a dumb little technicality like that.
I'm good at this game, but Mute is thousand levels ahead, these fast gates one after another after another, sick movement, extraordinary execution of skips, just wtf, my kuddos dear sir
Me this whole run being like, "this host sounds exactly like Lawrence from Funhaus" que the end and i check and its actually Lawrence from Funhaus, blows my mind. p.s. what an amazing run never wanted to play doom more
pokemon speedrun = *guy prays to RNGsus and mashes A for 2 hours straight* DOOM speedrun = *guy breaks both his wrists, speedruns his eyesight and loses 10 pounds after every run*
To be fair, they're completely different genres. I think that's what makes FPS games so visually impressive is they're much more action heavy and often times they are *flying* through the environment. RPGs (usually being turn based) are impressive to see all the shortcuts in strategy to do maximum damage while often being way under leveled because they skipped the usual game design that requires one to spend hours training and getting money for things to make your characters more powerful. Both require a lot of items and strategizing but RPGs are usually more battle strategies while FPSs are more environmental navigation strategies. (And then there's platformers which often fall somewhere in the middle)
there's a talk Mick Gordon (DOOM eternal's composer) gave where he discusses how he came up with the music and some funny things he hid in the audio files. I think the best part is when he is told that he can't use a guitar in the music, so he combines a guitar with a chainsaw to get around that requirement. absolute legend.
also I object. "effect and cause" in titanfall 2 is probably the best single level in video game history, but I only say that because I haven't speedrun Urdak
Runner introduction starts at 0:00
Run starts at 1:05

The biggest sin was not having this run during prime time. This might be the best run of SGDQ '22. Amazing skill, tech, and commentary.
Thanks to y'all for having us at the event and Mute for asking me to commentate.
I hope my passionate ramblings about this game were fun.
Cheers.
Oh dude I love it when speedrunners talk about the mechanics. In fact I wish they went into more detail lol. Loved the commentary.
wait it's you that's awesome congrats
Super fun man, as a long time watcher of EGDQ you are the exact type of commentator I like watching
YES! I think I finally understand the story!
Can confirm the passionate ramblings were fun. Great commentary.
31:19
"There is a potential softlock here"
"Don't worry, I won't hit it"
Stream freezes
Me "uh oh, I'm in trouble"
4:40 "watch this, monke, weeeee" loved It
massive respect to people who optimize something so long
My man, you must not have seen them 15h DQ8 speedrun
i am excited to see how further it could possibly be optimized, it could be like super mario bros, or this could be the world record and a perfect run, idk but ye
you must have not seen the 300+ hr baten kaitos speedrun
This might be one of my favorite runs on SGDQ this year! Hats off to Mute and the couch!

The punch momentum thing immediately brought my brain back to halo 2, I'm lovin it

This run is so sick!!!!! Huge props to the runner. The inputs per second look exhausting.
I love that they turned up the game audio when the runners/couch mentioned the music
Edit: Also NICE! mute levelled up to lvl 69 at 1:41:28
The movement in this run was so intense I started getting seasick and had to take a break. Absolutely incredible speed and precision to keep up for two straight hours.
I'm saddened by the fact that I can only like this video once :( Amazing run, and an amazing speed runner with a fantastic temperament. Well done!!

I’m here for the quintessential gamer himself. No one could have hosted this better!
I just came to watch, and suddenly I was being soothed by the quintessential gamer. "Surely that can't be...!?!?"
the precision is just jaw dropping, loved this run
Excellent run and with amazing movement, Mute! The couch commentary was also excellent, you could tell the people on there were very passionate and knowledgeable about the game which made for a very entertaining run
This is one of the best GDQ runs I've ever seen. Everything about this is perfect. Amazing time!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE run!! Loved every second of it!
I didn't think I'd hear Lawrence's sultry voice announcing!
I love watching these 100% speed runs because this is canon doomslayer. Great job to the runners!
What a beast of a run. Enthralling to watch such skill!
Imagine a timeline where Moroccan Spiced Chicken With Toasted Vegetables could have been called something boring like Lift Skip, and be thankful we’re living in such a spicy world lol
I wish I could like this run more than once!

I had that in mind, but I didn't realize it was a collectible he should've by all rights collected
This is canonically how powerful Doom Guy is
Holy shit. This is really an impressive SPEEDrun!
Thank you, Quintessential Gamer, for hosting.
34:57 missed collectible and fast travelled away.
Sick movment dude!
I like to think this is canon with how fast/powerful the Doom Slayer actually is.
This was an amazing run!
Who the
You the!
Congrats on getting on gdq!
@@Rioyner HOLY SHIT ITS RINNER EVERYONE GO SUBSCRIBE TO RINNER RIGHT NOW GO GO GO
I don’t even understand what’s happening on this run but I watched the whole thing
He the!
What an amazing run! It's a hell of a speedrun category and even as a casual DOOM player I could tell that Mute's skills are unparalleled.
Finally a player meeting the slayers expectation of how it should be done.
you know it's a great run when even the folks on the couch are regularly impressed by the more difficult tricks

F
?
This is so sick! Huge Respect!
This entire run felt like I was watching at 3x speed. Unbelievable skills on display here
This is amazing. I played it on console and it was really frustrating but watching this, I can see why it was really designed for pc.
Hectic run with chill runner+couch
Always stay in the fun zone.
Yo I just realized this is Lawrence hosting 30 minutes in! Lawdog is awesome, quintessential gamer ftw
This is absolutely wild. My tendonitis is flaring up just watching this.
This is always nive to see. The charity piece is fantastic.
Such a sick smooth run.
i like how at 31:19 one of the couch talks about a potential softlock and then the vod freezes lmao
Even watching this run requires skills. Great respect to Muted6.
GDQ bringing the treats. Doom Eternal and Elden Ring ? LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Bonkers run
I'm good at this game, but Mute is thousand levels ahead, these fast gates one after another after another, sick movement, extraordinary execution of skips, just wtf, my kuddos dear sir
Watching this VOD, straight up my brain is just not fast enough to keep up with what's on the screen.
This is just poetry in motion!
Fantastic demonstration of canon Doomslayer
"And then... HE came. He cut through them like a sickle through a field."
awesome run!
RIP AND TEAR
love how doom speedrun tricks are named after food.
BFG damage being linked to frame rate explains why it seems garbage in my playthrough lol. I average 45 fps and it gets chunky during hectic fights
Here for Lawrence, and his quintessential hosting lol
Phenomenal skills from Mute there, and some great commentating from the couch! Although, I did find the bragging a bit obnoxious >.
anyone else having playback issues? Some other gdq videos are also stuttering but other youtube videos outside of gdq has no problems
1:41:27. Doom level 69. Nice.
Lore accurate Doomguy
loved lawdog as the host!
Lore Accurate Slayer
Me this whole run being like, "this host sounds exactly like Lawrence from Funhaus" que the end and i check and its actually Lawrence from Funhaus, blows my mind. p.s. what an amazing run never wanted to play doom more
Seems the Gladiator saw the Kirby dance and wanted to try it out.
That's the second time you were in the goo in Exultia...

Oh Snap! I thought I recognized the LawDog's voice as the announcer!
haha, recognized lawrence there. Took me a while. Makes sense, he is the quintessential gamer.
DOOM GO ZOOM
LETS GO MUTE
BUT I NEED TO HEAR THE RUN!!
Slightly slow start but dang really picked it up by cultist base
How do you roast the vegetables? With the flame belch of course!
Simply amazing!
I'm going back to doom eternal
Thanks for the inspiration.
This is so incredibly fucking cool o.o
Amazing run and incredible skill! Does anyone know what mouse he's using?
Might be a finalmouse starlight not 100% sure.
OMG Lawrence is here ! Nice
Just Wow fucking amazing
I was like "This announcer sounds familiar", then I saw it was FREAKING LAWRENCE "LAWDOG" SONNTAG FROM INSIDE GAMING!! Ayyyy yoooo.
Wait, is the announcer Lawrence Sontag!?
"Im gonna count 2,1,0,start" and proceeds to do 2,1,start. Fail on 0 seconds xD Must restart run
visual asmr type beat
the dude on the left's hoodie is fire
Yeye he made it lol
Throughout the run I was like "I know that voice! It has to be Lawrence. But nah, probably someone else."
1:41:27 nice
there's a talk Mick Gordon (DOOM eternal's composer) gave where he discusses how he came up with the music and some funny things he hid in the audio files.

Oh, is the BFG called 10 000, because it deals 10K damage to Icon of Sin? Neat.
Am I wrong or arethe donations being muted here in this vod?
"That was much harder than it looks" No it wasn't, it looked hard as fuck.
Footage of canon doom guy
Speedrunner goes VERY fast.
Hmmm that announcer sounds familiar... Oh shit that's Lawrence previously from funhaus.
"Harder than it looks"
Lawrence??
I think Doom is a pretty cool guy, eh kills demons and doesn't afraid of anything
