Can we get an F for the melter of mann? I should note that there is a way to make the manmelter more useful: Have a friendly soldier go cowmangler (or better yet, a group of them), and just extinguish them as they charge shot themselves. This would make a great terrible tactics video for Red Robot, btw. . . . and I hope you have a wonderful day as well, sexy bearded man of llamas :D
Couple things you don't mention that I think are very important; first, arguably the main strength of random crits is removing damage falloff, not tripling the damage dealt. Having weapons with physically limited range (flamethrower) or no falloff (flares) means pyro can't get the janky crossmap kills that a soldier or heavy can. Secondly, in a twist that makes the first point slightly redundant, the flamethrower is in fact the only weapon in the game that has range-based damage falloff on random crits. A player standing at the end of the flame spew takes almost half the damage one standing at its start does. So on top of everything you raise, pyro also has worse crits than everyone else even when he gets them.
The point about it being ranged based is only somewhat true since explosive weapons also have their damage fall off based on how close to the edge you are of the explosion. But I do understand that isn't the point considering a direct hit crocket from long range or close range does the same 270. This IS a point I neglected to mention; I will concede that. However, Pyro CAN get crit flares and get janky kills across the map with them, just significantly less reliably. And while I will also concede that his crits do have range fall-off, the close range distance and ease of which Pyro can hit people with flames more than balances out the fall-off and personally I find it negligible in 90% of circumstances where players are not immediately ready to tackle a pyro head on.
This is the first video I've watched of yours in a while, and I am blown away. You are still finding ways to entertain people with tf2. I also appreciate how you upped you quality in your videos. Nicely done!
I use the mannmelter because it makes lighting people on fire easier without me needing to be a jerk using the scorch shot. Oh and I can extinguish my teammates.
So... The *Pyro* ... The. Most. Moaned.about thing in TF2... Would be moaned about more... If *randoms crits* ... The second, most moaned about thing in TF2... Were removed? Ha. Suck it anti-critters.
Wow, you and your sexy beard is right! I do notice this with pyro and all the points you brought up were the thing that i was gonna bring up. And btw your bald head is handsome don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
I'm kinda a new player, and somewhat of a pyro main with about 10-12 hours in him- I honestly didn't realize he could random crit until somewhat recently. I mean, one of the times where I did notice, I thought I was just being kritz-krieged, but no, there was no kritz medic around, and I was confused for a bit before remembering and realizing random crits exist- I've probably been kritzed as many or more times than I've had random crits, personally, though it may just be that I'm somewhat bad.
Look Gary there I am! But in all seriousness, loved the vid good as always. Totally agree with it too, as it's just the only reason people complain about the crits from pyro is because they got jumped by the sneaky guy from the beginning.
rc on pyro are rare, as a pyro main when i get them i cant make something much out of them they are useless to pyro and he rarely benefits from random crits.

I always feel when playing pyro that I airblast everything except crockets
Ooo pretty colou-
*dead*
To be honest i agree in everything he says Pyro will basically be better without a soldier depending of a Crockett
It even works underwater
Hey Vsause, Cosmic here.
Is the pyro actually a lethal class?
What if they met?
Who needs Phlogistinator Crits amirite?
Oh boy he is here
The weak
"Epic gamer tears" is my new favourite phrase.

I never knew he didn't have an afro
space afro
You must be holding your phone upside down.
He actually used to, but he shaved it for charity or something, I think.
The afro is your entire reality you FOOL it's a COSMIC AFRO it is the entire COSMOS
man melter is the most underrated flare gun tbh, i love its crit collection mechanic, i can extinguish teammates, and murder the enemy. :)

Pyro is "Harmless" until he pulls out a portable microwave. Then you just want to condemn him to the hottest boiling river in hell.
"lovable"
As, don't cry mate... We're here for ya
This channel is soooo underrated 😂😂😂👌
This man, he's too good for this world
Thank you for the motivational message at the end
That intro was beautiful.
Not to mention the ability to spam free crits with the scorch shot infinitely
omg that skit was great
keep it up!
I use the mannmelter because it makes lighting people on fire easier without me needing to be a jerk using the scorch shot.
Oh and I can extinguish my teammates.
Huh ive never been this early, HAPPINESS NOISE
i love the manmelter
I think a better way to put it is: Combo pyros bad for them, and even WM1 pyros will sue the phlog or backburner which don't get randoms anyways.
Pyro does poor burst damage
Therefore he gets random crits the least
So...
The *Pyro* ...
The. Most. Moaned.about thing in TF2...
Would be moaned about more...
If *randoms crits* ...
The second, most moaned about thing in TF2...
Were removed?
Ha. Suck it anti-critters.
I like the pyro and am Anti Crit, so it's still a win win for me
Why is this guy so underrated
Wow, you and your sexy beard is right! I do notice this with pyro and all the points you brought up were the thing that i was gonna bring up. And btw your bald head is handsome don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Oh hi Inky :D
Because I'm a pyro main this is a nice little vid
Cosmic, are you just explaining how the pyro-class works?
I'm kinda a new player, and somewhat of a pyro main with about 10-12 hours in him- I honestly didn't realize he could random crit until somewhat recently. I mean, one of the times where I did notice, I thought I was just being kritz-krieged, but no, there was no kritz medic around, and I was confused for a bit before remembering and realizing random crits exist-
I've probably been kritzed as many or more times than I've had random crits, personally, though it may just be that I'm somewhat bad.
That thumbnail is beautiful lol
Look Gary there I am! But in all seriousness, loved the vid good as always. Totally agree with it too, as it's just the only reason people complain about the crits from pyro is because they got jumped by the sneaky guy from the beginning.
No words for the intro, well just 3 words.
*Hey Vsauce Here*
So uh... How about that Third Degree?
rc on pyro are rare, as a pyro main when i get them i cant make something much out of them
they are useless to pyro and he rarely benefits from random crits.
Hi Cosmic I'm new and I enjoy your video a lot :)
Wassup cosmo. This is KC! Thank you for your help!
Why did you stop uploading? I came back to this channel after realizing that I hadn't gotten a notif of it in a while :c
Hey! I had to focus on internship and college related business for a while. I'm still working on stuff in the meantime! Thanks for asking :o!
