Egypt timeline after 46/47/47:
- May 2007: Boss gets 46s (standard 00A first, then SA), one day apart
- June 2007: Clemens, though a relatively new player, ties 46s, also one day apart
- May 2008: Clemens goes for Egypt Agent 0:45, a
VERY good time for the strat used
- May 2008: Ace tries to tie it, discovers the pillar strafing strategy to save around a tenth, gets very close (47 kneeling deaths, 46 slow deaths, etc), but stops after 20 46s or so
- May 2008: Ace gets Egypt SA 46 very quickly, but the power goes off the frame he presses next on the endscreen to reveal the 46, so the footage is damaged
- May 2008: Clemens goes for Egypt SA 45, claims 5 46 dupes but stops playing
- Late 2008: Lockwood, "kWpaRtybOy13", a then new player, ties 46s on all difficulties very quickly, showing promise of a good player
- April 2010: less than 2 weeks into Ace's comeback (after a 1.75 year break), Ace ties Egypt 0:45
2010-2012: nothing substantial, some people tie 46s
- January 2013: Someone discovers the right strafe switch in GG room strategy
- First week of January 2013: Goose goes for Egypt SA 46 after A 46,
gets trolled often, Twitch streams and origin of the "hvad er denne Trolddom" meme. Finally gets it on the 20th of January.
- January 2013:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVUO6d_jEUQ- Early January 2013: Ace, inspired by Goose's streams, goes for 45s on SA/00A. Ace mastered 2.x and SUPERPAD within a few days of play. Initially, both 2.x and 1.2 are used (pause for 1.2 at the 2nd Baron because pillar strafe is tricky with 2.x..) but pausing (looking down) at the 2nd Baron causes his position to be offset. This info came to light to most people including me around this time, and Henrik later posts
this and other relevant info such as guard death times, etc. I decide to go full 2.x after a couple of streams.
- 22 Jan, 2013: Ace gets Egypt 00A 45. Did not take very long (high skill, but also luck..).
Info. I believe Goose was going for 46 shortly after his SA WR, but stopped playing after this.. I still remember thinking about "today being the day" while I was waiting for my car to go home after college.
- Controversy over Superpad:
https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=18539.msg380996#msg380996- 26 Jan, 2013: Ace gets Egypt SA 45. Took some time because I was also playing PD briefly after 00A 45.
Jabs/salt- AFTER JAN 2013: Ace goes for 44 Agent using the consistent warp method he discovered.
one of the 30 45s or so I got during this time period (notice how I am the only one to do the "full spin" after the GG... despite it being blatantly quicker everyone used the slower method
- Around this time (2nd last week of January onwards): Marc and Clemens go for 45 SA/00A, the manly 1.2 way as they stated, Marc is the first to get these (his vids on SA/00A are live with commentary.. this is around the time he goes insane and
claims to be the best player ever (this is why I got "mad", not at the times getting tied..)
- February 2013: Clemens gets 45s after an arduous grind on both SA/00A... one was at Boss' house live on stream. Vid for SA 45 is removed/corrupt by Twitch
- 2013: Ace switches to 1.2, gets lots of 46 quits, a few 50 deaths with worst slow Baron death (exactly 6s loss), many 45s.. but stops playing eventually
2014-2017: more 45 ties, couch strat discovered, Bez tries a little for 44.. I didn't follow much here.
- 2017: I play a bit for 44 again (with 1.2), more chokes, e.g.
this,
find another way to do the 2nd Baron, etc.
- 2018: Karl and HK get 44s
Honestly there is a lot to Egypt.. particularly during 2013.
