Ok Re-did my Sniper: Ghost Warrior one because it was too long ..... This death happens 25 frames after I gain control (and i'm able to die ) @60FPS making it like around 0.41 Seconds. WOOP WOOP

And if save glitching counts then I guess I kind of beat my old run hl2ep1 ded% by quite a bit using the intro cutscene.
This works by saving on the first tick of the map and then loading the save, you can move freely in the intro custcene for a short bit until the next part of the cutscene starts.
441 ticks + 1 tick = 6.63 seconds
Still improvable, I think, I am just too lazy.

I always knew you can get out of the intro train, never knew how to properly do it. The way I did it is by lowering my fps to 5, but I think there's a way to do it without fps change, but I'm just bad.
I am also bad at timing goldsrc demos, so I am not sure if my times are 100% correct.
ded% - 7.04 - timed up to the tick of the dead sound
softlock% - 4.6 (not sure if you are able to get back on the train from the rails, if yes then the time would be the time I hit the tunnel/jump off the rails)

Behold some amazing footage of Garfield 2 - A Tale of Two Kitties! for PS2:
In the softlock% CATegory we can see a few wonderfull OoB glitches within seconds of starting a New Game, followed by a marvelous softlock in a record time of [0:30]
But it doesn't end there! There's an even faster way of softlocking the game, which I will from nowforth name Softlow%.
Here the game fails to load entirely after the first cutscene, clocking in at [0:00] gametime.
Enjoy!

Make it so.
I'll try and record vids when I can but for now:
Sonic 2 in 5 seconds.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles (as Tails) in 4 seconds.
Those are just for the first death, if it's to GO then it's 14 in Sonic 2 (timer stops earlier on GO deaths) and 12 in 3.
Also I was thinking, amusingly enough one of the worst series for this would be Metroid. I mean in Super iirc you'd have to go all the way to getting Morphball before anything can even kill you?

Would it be possible to go over the rails on foot and skip the intro?
I had a competition with someone else over dieing as quickly as possible in Gothic some time ago. I ended up with 7.633s:
Quote from CBenni:
@Blubbler, no that doesnt work, because you have to lower your FPS - meaning, you would have to play through the entire game like that...
Don't HL runners change the fps on the fly for the health door anyway?
Gothic fastest softlock 1.967s
fastest crash
not sure how to time that with loading times and stuff
EDIT:
Chess Titans 0.867s without computing time, 6.033s with it

Nice to see more interest in this quite subversive category of speedrunning. Here are a few runs I've done:
God of War - Chains of Olympus, speedrun to fastest crash.
Metal Gear Solid 3 death run (in a bit over one second).
Silent Hill 3 death run.
Also made individual-level death runs for Forbidden Siren 1 and 2, as a tribute to how much you die in those games.
First part of Siren 1 death runs.
First part of Siren 2 death runs.
Partially relevant - a few fastest softlock TASes.
Winx Club for GBA, TAS to fastest softlock.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on DS, TAS to fastest crash.
