It's beautiful too see just pure tf2 gameplay of spy. No commentary, just playing, the sounds, movement. It brings back the days of fun as a kid and I thank you so much.
You can see as the match goes on, the enemy team starts to become more and more paranoid, spending more time watching their backs than actually playing the objective. The mind games are real. Very good Spy play indeed!
or just learn how to listen for decloaks, turn around, counter trickstabs. basically guts spy and makes him less of a terrifying invisible threat and more of a mosquito
LMFAO. I thought that was either a sound effect added in post - or OP. But nope. A different player whose scream just happened to sync up perfectly to what was happening here.
There are just too many great moments in this replay: 2:44 Medic flies with aid of bullet 4:30 and 5:20 Ouch, sniper not only dominated but trick stabbed twice in the same place. 7:00 At least sniper gets some revenge. 8:15 Been playing this game like 7 years and did not know about that parkour space. 13:40 Sniper launched into a backstab. 14:27 Somehow waits ten seconds for the exact wrong time to engage the enemy.
4:04 This was a sick play. Backstab engie, sap, get damage boosted in the air for the airstab on the demo. I am inspired by this moment and this video as a whole.
you better watch his real frag video where there are best moments from thousants of matches and not 30 minutes of playing, then you may be really impressed
When i see someone playing as spy, everyone they are fighting against are the most deaf people ever. But when I play spy, everybody drops what there doing an hunt me down.
you'd think that after getting trickstabbed more than once that the sniper would either equip the razorback or stop using his melee but nope, he just keeps being a free back
How to be a good spy: Equip dead ringer. Decloak as loudly as you possibly can right in the middle of everybody. Get away with murder anyway because apparently none of them have ears.
@@Thomas90012 disguise as scout actually makes sniper fights a little bit easier sometimes because scout's head is in front of and lower than the spy's head hitbox. Spy always retains the spy hitbox when disguised, and the scout is the only disguise where the model's head and the hitbox are not in the same place. Tl:dr disguise as scout and snipers will have to guess where your head actually is.
idk how this man can pull this off. like i can sever someones spinal cord and it says it was the front and then he can trickstab where the knife has been on his back for .4 seconds and that works. either this man is an absolute legend or the game hates me. (probably a mix of both)
That's also depending on your internet connection. I'm a student so I both experience my parents house and my appartement, in my parents house I can pretty much trickstabs all day long, but in my appartement, it's literally impossible, I fight against the same people, on the same community server, it's simply not working, I can't stab an immobile enemy, it fail. 😂
@@randompencil2761 it also depends on your internet lerp settings, generally you want lower lerp settings like 15.2 for better experience and trickstabbing in general
@@Eleganttf2 I have gotten better the problem wasn't anything internet or stuff like that the game hated me and I never got trickstabbing practice against good players so now i can play spy. btw I am a demo main and i play spy a lot too so I refuse to change interp because interp + projectile class=bad
I watched this video and it made me want to add more hours onto my already existing 20 hours on spy but also wanted to make me use my weekly free "try it out" (since steam is stupid and wont give me items other than that and drops) on the dead ringer and broke my kill record, performed my first ever trickstab, and got called out for hacking. You make me want to get better at spy. edit : literally the next game I did my first ever stair stab. I love spy and you
You'd think that after being side stabbed and corner stabbed etc, no less than 10~ times. Their sniper would stop and think "hmm, maybe I *shouldn't* try to melee fight the class that abuses broken hitboxes and has wiped the floor with me every time I've tried previously" But I guess he never learns.
Been getting back into tf2 and I’ve been playing spy for a bit (used to be decent at him but now I’ve become really rusty). Quite a happy coincidence I found your video; It helped me understand how spy should be played nowadays. Im gonna try to apply some of the tech you showed in this video to my own gameplay. Probs gonna die a lot, but that’s part of the learning and relearning.
Man you run straight at them with the same disguise as spy and scout and they do nothing??? man's scary good 16:03 least egregious facestab Your movement to dodge the enemy team is nuts
people he was playing against were all blind and deaf they dont see a red spy backstabbing their team and they dont hear all the screams when red spy is backstabbing their team
Istg if there is ever a good spy in a lobby every time it's always like watching meet the spy over and over and over again because you never know where he'll be
I find it hilarious how everyone just gets a sixth sense. That heavy 9:49 just comes out of spawn and just starts blasting his machine gun as soon as he sees you 😂
The funny thing that I was absolutely not good using Letranger, nor Dead Ringer back then. I was just the hide, grab ammo to restore cloak meter and take on whatever is possible kind of Gunspy relying on Revolver a lot. Eversince TF2 is dead, I cannot have such fun in-game anymore like how this video shows.
For a wanna be spy main who has just started playing tf2 only have just over 100 hours on the game as a whole with around 25 hours on spy alone (that is alot but compared to the general populous of players, not so much) I am in fucking love with this video, and I hope that one day I can at least do something semi decent like this piece of art! :D
Here’s a tip: Give all other classes atleast a good ten hours. Knowing how classes work and the best strategies for them will help you get some sweet kills and backstabs.
Dying to an enemy even if you got shittons of hours and experience is the most human gameplay I've ever seen. There are some players better than us. But that's ok. We'll just come back and jab em anyways!
And then you meet somebody better, who systematically mops the floor with you using every class and variation, one by one. It soon becomes a 1v1 and the entire team and battlefield becomes obsolete. It's just you and your nemesis, fighting. Any enemy that interferes is quickly dealt with and you even wait for the other lad to kill them and heal. 😂 I so miss tf2. I had... an absurd amount of hours and items. I mained... every cass. Used to get votekicked and votebanned from skial servers, even if my ping was 100+. Regardless of which class I was playing, those were the days...
What I learned from this is that being good at spy is mainly about your enemies being bad Edit: been playing spy for 3 months, I take back what I said. He’s still way underpowered, but he has the highest skill ceiling in the game.
My connection has a delay or something. Would like to mess with spy more, but I can't for the life of me backstab any moving person that's slower than spy.
Hmm, I feel bad for you XD were you trying to improve and thinking about you mistakes, trying to do trickstabs instead of escaping even if you will die because of that?
I appreciate that you don't only show the successes and the massive kill streaks. Obvs this was a really good game and you did super well, but you still had some lives where you just kinda died immediately and didn't accomplish much, some attempted stabs that didn't pan out, etc. I think that's the best illustration of what top-tier spy gameplay is about--at the end of the day, sometimes you just don't succeed, due to bad luck, a lapse in judgement, a missed stab or whatever else. I think being a good Spy requires a hell of a lot of skill, but also an ability to roll with the punches, to accept that you won't win every encounter, that bad luck can and will screw you over at times and that's okay. The best Spies are the ones able to keep a cool head, even when things don't go their way due to factors outside their control.
