Commentary on the run:

The good:
1) The wad itself is generally easy, on continuous. Even more so because 98% of the ammo you need is placed right on the main path, literally. Can't run out of ammo for the shotgun. Health is prevalent too, and crucially, the secrets soulspheres are all very easy to get and will cost you a few seconds each (except on M7).

The bad:
1) The wad is NOT optimized for pistol starts. Practicing each map from pistol start is quite painful. And M8 straight up gives you no weapons, so the only way to practice it is to cheat in the weapons.
2) The fucking shotgunners' RNG. 90% of the runs of individual maps were screwed over by the shotgunners. Either these guys are lazy and it's a breeze, or they destroy you (and most of the time you don't have any armor).
3) Since a lot of corridors aren't wide and there are many doors, the monsters love getting in your way and annoying you. Pinkies are often almost unavoidable and you need to spend time wasting them to get through.
