  • @XradicalD
    @XradicalD ปีที่แล้ว +100

    "Be polite" is certainly a missing strategy point in some TF2 players. Doing what the class is supposed to do the isn't really something to brag about. Of course, playing a class masterfully is not something anyone can do, but keeping things polite will avoid becoming a target. Players will go out of their way just to deal with you and you'll have a harder time playing your class.
    Besides, it's much more impressive seeing someone cleaning house and just being in awe on how good they play. People will want you on their team rather than having another try hard.

    *Super ultra top secret spy strat for when you're being chased:*
    1. find stairs / slope
    2. turn around super obviously
    3. fuck the stairstab, just run away.
    they will notice you turning and think "HA, this is an idiot dumb idiot braindead f2p spy who doesn't know how obvious his stairstabs are!" and will wait at the bottom of the stairs. This is essentially you telling your pursuer "Can you wait there for a sec, I need to get a headstart" and then they politely follow your instructions. If they still chase after you because either
    a) you already did this
    or
    b) they don't know stairstabs exist
    then you can just stairstab them normally.

    hey really nice video man! spy is one of my fav classes and altho i only get a trickstab once in a blue moon and then get confused on how i did it, it truelly is the best feeling in the world. as a soldier main i would describe it like gettin a market garden. very good video, the animation is good and polished, the jokes are funny and the editing is pretty good. hope to see what you have next, you definitely earned my sub!

    • @Jontohil2

      While I'd say trickstabs are much more about mind games and market gardening is more about movement, they are very comparable and rather satisfying to pull off for similar reasons. Plus just like with trickstabs, they're not always optimal, but they're fun all Hell to do anyway.

    Trickstabs are definitely another possible mindgame tool for the Spy. They can get you kills, yes.... but they can also help in escapes. If a person expects a stairstab when you're running up an incline, like some stairs or a ramp, they'll often not follow and just wait for you to do it. If you don't do it, you can just continue on your way and leave them briefly dumbfounded.

  • @Mehiall1

    To add to the power fantasy being earned thing, this is part of why (for me) stabs feel better on Uncletopia or similar servers rather than casual. In casual mode it's pretty easy to find someone who you can get to let you set up the trickstab, normally you can decloak in broad daylight behind someone and they don't turn, etc. but on community servers where a lot of the players are 3000+ hours players, it's a pain in the ass to get 1 stab per life lol. So when you get that trickstab on someone who definitely knew it was a possibility, or you get a chainstab on the payload cart with the heavy/pyro combo who turns 360 degrees each second, or the stab on an engineer hiding in an impossible spot, it feels way better (to me at least).
    This is not meant to be a "community servers are better than casual" thing btw, I'm just saying it feels better when you pull off some shit against someone you know has countered that exact same thing 100 times before vs. pulling it off against someone who's not really trying to stop it

    @MyouKyuubi 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    some of the trickstabs i've done are just ridiculous... Back in my day, when i was still an active spy-main... i did a version of the matador, that was so compressed, it looked like i was just doing a little dance in font of them, that made them die from cringe. xD
    moving side-to-side with A and D (in really short bursts that shouldn't realistically allow a matador) kinda glitches out hitboxes via interpolation, which is exacerbated by even normal ping levels, and just, gives you a free facestab. It doesn't work every time, but it works like 25% of the time, it's hilarious.
    of course, that was years ago, dunno if that got patched out at some point.
