#if u run diagonally in classic doom u go faster than if u just go straight forward or sideways

Absolutely LOVE the fact that classic Doom occasionally forces you to sprint across hazard pits to get critical items. it's a canon fact that sometimes doomguy just goes "well I can't get through this locked door so I guess I'll just run across that pool of lava :)" and then he just skitters across it turned at a 45° angle like some sort of half-crab

#pikspeak #doom #or if u like to think its canon that he gets all items and secrets etc #then sometimes for NO OTHER REASON #than ''there might be something over there!'' #hell just sprint across a pool of toxic waste #or a bed of burning coals; or a river of... im assuming thats like boiling blood in some of the hell levels? #whatever the case he really has like 0 self preservation instinct #besides ''kill demon'' #uhhhh i also know most of my followers did not come here for doom #so a bit of info for u: #if u run diagonally in classic doom u go faster than if u just go straight forward or sideways #something about the speed multiplier for either direction being added together then applied iirc #but its called straferunning #and the devs were quite aware it was jn the game #bc not only is it good to use for crossing hazards #but there are some secret areas that *require* u to straferun to reach #absolutely hilarious thar doomguy can just run diagonally and go faster #forget about naruto running in this house we straferun to go faster #edit: wait no it was unintentionally in doom #but then it was left in doom ii #and thats where the secrets u have to straferun to reach are
