Eminem: "Guess who´s back. Back again. Marvin´s back. Tell a friend" ps.: Everyone who plays (played) this game, knows what kind of huge a*s level this is. I stil get lost and killed a lot of times on this level .. on Rookie... and u clear the field in less time that it took my original computer to even load this game... just wow, bravo. It´s not just ur amazing movement in Descent, cause the movement can be trained and copied to a certain point of view, but ur knowledge (u know every starting bot, every corner, every position) of this game is truely Top Tier Elite 1. Thanks for another one 👌👏
@@min1fntc Thanks! Same route as old record. This level is nightmare to speedrun - surely in top 3 hardest. You can't realise from a vid, but there is so many deadly robots roaming, that you are basicly just waiting for a lucky run to survive and not loose much time. I have made some unnecessary small mistakes so I lost a few seconds, but RNG was overally great so it resulted in big time save. The thing I have lost less shield is just a matter of luck, it depends on position and behaviour of robots.
Great work! I'm getting back into Descent after not playing it in decades, it's amazing seeing what skilled players can do 😄 Hopefully this isn't a dumb or over-asked question, but what key bindings do you use? I used to play on a flight stick as a kid lol. Recently I use m+kb, with strafe up & down mapped to middle and r-click respectively, and roll mapped to Q and E. I'm curious if there's a consensus in the Descent community as to what a good modern layout might be.
Thank you! I use only keyboard: Right hand: Little finger - Num0 - slide down Ring finger - Num1 - slide up Middle finger - right arrow - pitch right Index finger - up arrow - pitch down Index finger - down arrow - pitch up Thumb - left arrow - pitch left Thumb - right ctrl - drop bomb (if I speedrun particular level I often change config of this button for what I need more - for example cycle secondaries etc.) Left hand: Little finger - left shift - shoot primary Ring finger - A - slide left Ring finger - Q - bank left Middle finger - W - forward Middle finger - S - backward Index finger - D - slide right Index finger - E - bank right Index finger - F - bank left (alternative button in a case my ring finger is busy with A at the moment, so can't hit Q simultaneously) Index finger - X - flare Thumb - space - shoot secondary Thumb - left alt - bank rigt (alternative button in a case my index finger is busy with D, so can't hit E at the same time). But I often change that button for something else for speedruns, depends what I need more in actual level, like cycling some weapons. Anyway, I'm definitely a rare case, most players use keyboard + mouse. All that trichording stuff with just a keyboard is not what I would suggest, if you are not a freak:D
.. and i stil use the same keybindings that i used as a kid 🤣WASD + standard left right up down, space for lasers, strg for rockets, shit up for upwaords and c for flying down lol

Well played! Nice to see you back
Another big timesave! I can't really tell if you changed the route but I did notice you lost a lot less armor against the robots here. GG!
