Can I just say I love the duality of the source animated skits being at a weird frame rate like the spiderverse movies and the gmod skits are at full 60 fps
Holy shit I just realized that in the intro bit where everyone was targeting the trolldier, they were wearing the cosmetics that soundsmith cslled out for being 'warpigs' in the stereotypes series. Man this guy deserves a medal
Natascha Heavy, minisentry engineer, scout: *"If god wanted you to live, he wouldn't have created me!"* So the trolldier adapted to their surroundings after more than 9 years of evolutionary development.
1:41 Idk why but the animation of Ethan stumbling and whipping back into place felt very charming. Whoever directed the animation for this video did a stellar job.
9:44 I named my strange killstreak Direct Hit the, "Direct Miss," with the description, "YOU MISSED! HOW COULD YOU MISS HE WAS THREE FEET IN FRONT OF YOU!"
For me I usually just use it because it feels so damn powerful Like I know it has that 25% extra damage but it feels more like 80% increased damage Also I still can't believe the direct hit and stock deal the same amount of damage when rocket jumping It legit feels like when you are using the direct hit that you take like 80 damage per jump
You know you've played too much hightower when you recognize half the people in the killfeed and realize the decent soldier you've been playing against from time to time is SoundSmith, I'm a beggar's trolldier who's friends with The Gangster Doughnut lol 14:29 this guy for reference
I can come up with one reason why you’d use gunboats as trolldier. Some people use it to simulate rocket jumping and market gardening as roamer soldier, and since there’s no secondary to protect yourself, you’re forced to improve if you want a chance to survive
@@kewlman5417 the point is that mantreads change your trajectory because they improve your air strafing, so if you're practicing specifically to improve your gardens on roamer soldier, it can be worth handicapping yourself for learning purposes so that you don't ruin your strafing muscle memory
Thank you for validating my Air Strike addiction. I've had people tell me shit like "dude you know the base jumper is a better pair with the air strike right" as if the gunboats aren't letting me soar like an eagle and still survive (unlike steven after not surviving)
Love the animation style Sound! The sorta choppy motions make it feel like the models are not just 3D renders but actual physical stop motion models being slowly and painstakingly manipulated each frame. Amazing work bud!
I'm amazed at how much effort SoundSmith puts into even simple videos like this. I mean he even put effort into the sponsorship making it entertaining instead of some ctl+c ctl+v nonsense
The reference to Aragorn kicking a helmet and Viggo (the actor) breaking two toes during the Nord VPN ad was so good. Good shit, especially the sfm parts at the start.
Okay, I actually really love the intro for the Direct Hit. The overlay, the screen shake in time with the bass from the pulsing Furi music-it's awesome. 9:35
Thank you soundsmith, your addictive trolldier guide has only fed my addiction. Every day I wake up, forced to play Hightower due to your existence. I can’t take it anymore, help.
10:10 I’m just remembering Uncle Dane going over the short circuit as a possible (not absolute) counter to Soldiers so Direct Hit Trolldier still have to worry
short circuit is... weird. it pulses every 15 ticks, destroying all projectiles and damaging all players inside it on a pulse. direct hit rockets are speedy, and may miss a pulse. i think uncle dane gave direct hit rockets a 50% change at being eliminated?
"The silly spectrum" couldve literally been called "Fuck around:Find out ratio" and itd be perfectly accurate. ALSO SOUNDSMITH THEY ADDED A MARKET GARDENER TO ULTRAKILL
Really love the use of the "Mourning Mercs" as their dramatic reaction is perfect for jokes and edits. And also saves the chance of kill binding for when a class is sad.
I'm glad I gave your ads more of a shot recently. They're really well made and funny. Probably one of only 3 content creators I watch that has interesting ad reads, so good on you mate!
The Cow Mangler is secretly the silliest Trolldier weapon. If you pair it with the Mantreads and use the secondary fire to jump with, Soldier will T-pose on his descent
I swear watching TF2 content like this and actually playing the game are entirely different experiences, all of this talk of strategy and playstyle and descision making and then you actually get in a game and it's just nonstop chaos where whatever you specifically are trying to do has almost no effect on the game Still, you and Dane easily make the absolute best TF2 content right now, great work my friend
I think Man’s Guide really helped your editing and style in videos. I love how it has bleed into the more regular content cuz it’s truly great. I came with Stereotypes, stayed for your funny humour and great editing.
Man SoundSmith's videos just make me happy. They are all such high quality and made with passion and real thought on how to make something fun. The behind the scenes video are some of my favorite videos to watch on youtube because its always fun to watch masters at their craft. SoundSmith could talk about any topic and I would watch it
When you whipped out the rocket jumper I was expecting you to say swapping the mantreads for a shotgun. Guess now I get to try and think about it myself! Here's what I'm thinking about such a loadout- 1. Shotgun gives you an answer to pyros that would airblast *both* your sources of damage. 2. Gives you some fast, conditionless close-quarters damage if garden fails to kill, making up for mantreads damage 3. they'll see your rocket jumper and might be tricked into thinking you're helpless on the ground Now, you will be having the downside of just being slower trolldier on things that the market gardener doesn't 1-hit, trading mantreads for an extra shotgun shell or two, and you'll still struggle a bit against sentries, but it could be an option if pyros are your bigger matchup problem, or if you're playing on maps that'll sometimes force you into tighter quarters.
Are we just going to ignore the sniper materializing into existence just to be blown up at 7:29? I might be half asleep because I'm watching this at 3 am, but, it looks like they just appeared out of nowhere
Hehe, the little ad bit for Nord vpn was good. Was wondering why the mention of kicking the helmet was in there, but the fact that it was specifically two toes made it sink it. Thats a reference to the actor for Aragorn breaking two toes himself when he kicks a helmet in the Lord of the Ring movies, didn't expect to see something like that here of all places!

Now, you will be having the downside of just being slower trolldier on things that the market gardener doesn't 1-hit, trading mantreads for an extra shotgun shell or two, and you'll still struggle a bit against sentries, but it could be an option if pyros are your bigger matchup problem, or if you're playing on maps that'll sometimes force you into tighter quarters.
