This guy deserves some serious recognition, and a footnote with 100% under his time isn't enough. He did the real challenge others had assumed impossible, and hence is the true 100% UV max speedrunner for that map. Make a separate category on the boards, and lets see how many others have the balls like this man did to be on the right side of the challenge.

"There is just something cathartic about knowing there was literally no more pain you could've possibly inflicted." Karl definitely going for "100%" when it comes to Billy Mitchell.

This room made my imagination go WILD as a kid. In my mind the room was huge and contained hundreds of demons. It's so fucking funny to see how little is actually in there years later. Here's another insane fact: this is the only area in the game that disables godmode; you can't be invulnerable in that room.

It's amazing that for 30 years I imagined this room totally differently than how it is. I always imagined it MUCH larger and with more enemies.

ZeroMaster is the ABSOLUTE legend.

Zero Master being so good he disqualifies literally everyone else from the whole competition. Love it :D

Either they accept him as the Legend he is or they create a new category where there will probably be only him for a long time or maybe people with no lives will step up , who knows. But they need to make this man recognized!!!

Zero Master: "I have looked into 5,000 different runs." Speedrun community: "In how many of them is 100% kills possible?" Zero Master: "One."

it's impressive when you see the actual recording in the dark and realize how precise it all is

Other speedgames already have MAX% speedrun category where you first sort by percentage, then by time. I think UV max can be seen as a MAX% category, it was just never relevant before this point. If they adopt this rule, the leaderboard will need an extra percentage column for the two tier sorting but that's about it. You can get the completion rates from the demo files. The advantage is that even if nobody ever will recreate this legendary feat, people can still compete for 2nd place with lower completion percentages so it won't become just a leaderboard of one.

Sounds like Zero-Master should hold the record. Excellent video.

He should absolutely be on top imo. He's the only person to ever actually accomplish the goal of the category

My take is add a subcategory if it's heavily based on chance. That being said, the prestige of 100% kills on that level is far more valuable imo than just a fast time.

He is the only one who has really beaten the level.

Of course Zero Master, the Doomguy himself, is the man to do this.

I agree that the kills should be the most important. In Celeste, there used to be a "least deaths" category for 100% where if you got fewer deaths, you'd be above people with more deaths and faster times. 100% (and even the legendary 202 Berries) has been done deathless now, and I consider the person who did it deathless to be a better runner than the people who did it faster but slipped up somewhere, for this specific category.

His name definitely deserves to be at the top of the list. Not only that, but he deserves to be the only one on the list without an asterisk instead of the other way around. What an absolute legend indeed!

I love how this level went from one of the easiest UVMAX runs to one of the hardest in theory

This explanation is amazing. To the untrained eye, he's just shooting blindly in the dark and it looks like he got lucky, when in reality it is a very precise and calculated strategy that he worked very hard at. Thanks for putting this into an easily understood format Karl, and congrats to Zero Master for nailing this nearly impossible challenge!
