Why is Doomguy super hyper fast?

I don’t have a clue why but remember seeing a game theorist episode or something like that where they calculated that he runs at like 60mph (100km/h) :-P

 

I should work out his 0-60 speed but imagine he is probably faster than most hyper cars XP

 

Edit: Couldn’t find the video but google says he runs at 57mph :-P

 

tbf game theory tends to be wrong with just about everything doom-related

He's a man and a half, so it makes sense that he would move at 1.5x the speed of a normal man.

Saw that, but brought up my meme version from existing attachments anyway.   But my question is that a mod or custom park in THPS3 made to look like E1M1 Hangar, or is that a map/mod in Quake 3 Arena?

He smashes this box before every stage

This might be the best answer on here

Because he's actually riding the BFG, a futuristic scooter for janitors in UAC. It's also why the camera seems to have weird PoV.

 

I would post the pic drawn by Maes but I think the link is dead ;-;

I am now regretting my life choices for not having the forethought to save that image somewhere.

hes just a white ussain bolt

 

but no for real, i doubt doom would be as fun if doomguy were as slow as other game characters (and id probably die faster due to not being able to dodge fast enough)

He wants to get back home before his subscription to "Clone Porn!: The New Taboo!" runs out.

The Doomguy can zip and zap around so fast because of his rocket propelled scooter.

Does the "Doomguy goes so fast cause he's trying to go to the bathroom cause he's gotta do a poop" theory hold any water

[oCrapaCreeper]

Eternal's deep and overly complex lore paints him out to be the chosen supreme badass of the Earth dimension even before he got divine steroids, so maybe he really has been running as fast as a rocket powered wheel chair.

 

Of course, he decided to run slower in the reboot. Obviously this is so the Demons could af least have a chance see his bowling ball sized biceps before being turned into tomato paste. Or maybe the ability to jump or move his head up and down was too radical for him, and there had to be a trade off.

The god box machine or whatever just cured a very bad cramp in Doomguy's neck and that's why he can look up and down now.

Hell is hot, therefore the floor is hot. Just doesn't want to burn his feet.

[Mr.Rocket]

He can't be couching it.. Doom guys got shit to do man!

No idea. It's honestly totally unnecessary considering you're faster than every projectile in the game, and all the levels are composed of small rooms where the high movement speed is never put to maximum potential.
