Level: e3m2 - The Vaults of Zin
Time: 0:12 (.78803)

Finally after so many years, figured out a way to make this possible.

jukebox and I had discussed the possibility of a 0:12, back when planning QdQstlite, but were unable to figure out how to squeeze out the final few tenths of a second.

However, now that almost all of the golden age records have since been beaten, I decided to give it another look, and figured out that by using the controversial 'trigger bypass' trick, and using that saved health to do an additional boost from the key door, it was just barely possible.

This was still not 'free' by any means, this skip relies on an essentially frame perfect timing with near maximum speed, and was only able to land it once in almost a hundred attempts, only to pray on getting the best possible boosts, and play perfectly from there on.
