Information

One of the best Quake players of his time.

Sectopod was one of the first players, if not the first, to use the RL-boosted Bunnyhop. He used the technique in a duel against Sujoy at True Gamers Invitational in april 1999, and this is considered to be the first display of the technique to a wider audience. Sectopod was trapped at mega health on DM4, with Sujoy standing by the grenade launcher, waiting to frag Sectopod when he came out. Sectopod did a more or less horizontal rocket jump against the wall behind the mega health and was able to use the speed by bunny hopping. Thus, he bunny hopped around the corner and was well across the lava bridge before Sujoy even managed to react.

Sectopod's technique was so unexpected it spawned this famous conversation while they were still playing the duel:

Sujoy: gad damn that was fast
Sct: yea
Sct: im a ninja
Sujoy: L:)
Sujoy: hehe

Sujoy later commented: "I was thinking: Ah, finally got him trapped at mega! Time to do a bit of damage on his... oh shit where did he go?"
