The Sonic segment wasn't about drug use, but "harassment". The full segment goes as follows: "Kids. There's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like. But if someone's trying to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, _that's no good!_ It's _your_ body! No-one has the right to touch you if you don't want them to. So whaddya do? First, you say 'no!' Then, you get outta there! Most importantly, you've gotta tell someone you trust. Like a parent, teacher, or police officer!"
@ThatGuyWithGlasses I believe Dr Robotnick made a female hedgehog like robot to make sonic do these tasks to win her affection while he tries to flood a city with a volcano, along with scratch and grounder, they also planned to kill him, but Robotnick made the mistake of giving Susie (That’s the female robot name by the way) actual feelings, which I can only guess he did for adaptability to what he does, but sonic wrote a poem for Susie, which causes her to turn against Robotnick and free sonic and have sonic save the two of them from getting crushed. Also Sonic saves the town, and Tails is suspicious of Susie to entire time. The episode is called Love Sick Sonic I believe, and it’s episode 3 of season 1.
Fun Fact: In Meet The Spy, before the Blue Spy gets his head blown off, he says "He could even be..". The Red Spy then appears behind soldier and heavy, finishing the sentence by saying "Right behind you". In total, the full sentence is "He could even by right behind you".
I never saw it that way. If they did that on Purpose, that would be weird, but a cool, easter egg. But it seems more like he was going to say "He could even be YOU." And the Red Spy is just answering the Soldier, who says It's time to go, and he responds "Right Behind You" Only in his own voice and not the Scouts. After all, why would he finish what the Spy said, without any context prompting it. It makes more sense he was responding to what the soldier said.
Might be intentional. But it feels like a bit of a stretch. I find it more likely that he's responding to what Soldier says right before. "Alright... Who's ready to go find this spy?"
Fun fact: the entire Spy class was inspired by a glitch in original Team Fortress mod for Quake, which occasionally caused players to incorrectly render as the wrong team colors
Pyro just makes easy work of every class except Heavy and engineer lol Unless it's a good scout, a soldier or demo who know when to shoot, a spy who remembers he has a gun, an enemy pyro (oh boy), the entirety of sniper when you don't have Scorch Shot, Detonator, or the reads with a flare, or a battle medic with confidence.
The only time I have felt truly successful as a spy. I was standing in the middle of their defense line, disguised as a heavy. Their Medic had my back. As our team finally attacked, the medic kept me ubercharged, while I got to sap and stab at will. By the time the medic realized what was happening, it was all over.
Getting a Medic to waste an Uber on a Spy feels great... but not for the Medic. There are times people might yell at the Medic for getting tricked, or accuse them of worse.
@@bash2334 Did they chase you with their melee weapons out or something? Which can be safely said is NEVER a good idea with the Spy. Also generally a good idea to be cautious when chasing Spies up inclines or around corners. Had a Spy try stairstabbing me once but only ended up landing right in front of my flamethrower. :P

@@kirbyfreakyt4695 Actually, you choose disguise not based on speed, but on how believable it is. And in this case it's this: - Scout: you would be out of place on enemy base(scouts do not hang around their own base too long), and low speed may give you away, but it's smallest size disguise, so it's good for hiding; - Soldier: good disguise only if your disguise health is low(otherwise "why this soldier isn't rocket jumping?" makes you suspicious); - Pyro: while it's decent disguise, Pyro is expected to spycheck everyone, so your cover will be blown very soon, since you can't spycheck. Good for frontlines, as you won't be expected to attack before getting into flamethrower range; - Demoman: average disguise. Good disguise near sticky traps, but your lack of explosive spam may give you away. Never disguise as Demoknight; - Heavy: good disguise, but slow. Since minigun slows Heavy down, you won't be expected to attack right away, and most players do not expect this disguise; - Engineer: good disguise near buildings, bad everywhere else. Your lack of spycheck will give you away, but standing on buildings of your disguise with no suspicion is helpful; - Medic: good disguise for frontlines, otherwise your lack of healing is instant giveaway; - Sniper: good disguise for sniping positions, but lack of scoping in eventually will reveal you; - Spy: good disguise among your own teammates, not so much for enemies;
@@ceu160193 Some players do defend as Scout. I do it from time to time. It's nice to be able to flank any Heavy Medic combo about to make trouble for the engineer and drop the medic quickly enough Not all Soldiers know how to rocket jump. So it would work either in a place with low ceilings, with a disguise target that's at low health, or with a target that's new to the game. Someone with unusuals, and that last one aint gonna work Yeah that Pyro one's correct, though I've seen a lot of pyros who just don't care about spychecking, so it's somewhat suspicious, but if they're, say, heading towards spawn with a Flare Gun, with low hp, then it kind of makes sense to see them there.

It might be a Demoman holding a flamethrower, or with missing legs, or... just... there are a LOT of glitches with a Demoman disguise, so it's risky but can be worth it if it works Disguising as a Hoovy is big brain, but also a war crime I only see engineer disguises failing when they're obviously a spy (Moving STRAIGHT FOR SOMEONE'S BACK). Engineers don't usually spycheck until they've had an encounter with a sneaky little frenchman, so Engineer disguises can actually work, and they have a reason to stand on, go towards, and be using buildings. The issue is, it's kind of the only good one if the team excepts the pyro to be constantly using Flamethrower to Spycheck so it's pretty obvious that the spy will probably be an engineer Battle medics exist but yeah most of the time it's just going to give you away. Now if the disguise target is on low health, however, and there are people of the Spy's team following them, it makes sense if the "Medic" is running from the "enemy" team on "low" health back to spawn and ignoring their teammates. Medics just kinda get to live first, and THEN decide who lives. A moving sniper is suspicious, but also powerful. It means they may even have spacial awareness. It's a good short term disguise... which is why every spy uses it when they're going to get the enemy snipers, or just... moving around. It's such a common disguise, you can just see through it, like Engineer disguises. Spy disguises make the uncloaking sound make more sense, but tbh everyone has the cloaking sound burnt into the back of their brain so you're gonna get shot at...
3:26 Nope and it's fun watching new players playing Sniper try to shoot through glass windows. 3:44 Some people who play Spy sometimes just stay invisible the whole match and relay information to their team. The Cloak and Dagger watch lets you stay invisible forever as long as you stay still. So, it's great for just gathering some intel on what the enemy team is doing and the state of their Medic's ubercharge. This isn't done often but is a valid way of playing... but it's best when communicating with a friend in the same game.
I think there might be some fringe cases of concealment in tf2. like spy disguising as a class with a shorter view model to not be seen while their head is technically exposed. Spy also has a taunt that lets them hide in a cardboard box.
10:52 interestingly, this is a major part of being a *ninja* They had a specific technique, I forget the name, but the entire point was “people don’t use their full field of vision.” When people are looking for someone, they don’t want to get attacked when staring at the floor, or the wall. So if you just kinda crouch near something of a similar color as you, people will be looking *around* for you, not directly at random objects for you. In the same technique, people who aren’t alerted tend to not look up past a certain point so if you hide in a corner of a ceiling or something, even if you’re right in front of someone, as long as they’re close enough to you they won’t see you. You don’t need to hide *behind* something if someone is walking past you, you just need to hide yourself somewhere they aren’t looking. Even if you’re just…sitting there
I am a year later but are you mentioning the Usura Gakure no jutsu and Tanuki Gakure no Jutsu? The first works exactly as you say, the second is a little different but the idea is the same. Since humans tend to ignore what is above them so ninjas can hide above the eyesight. In fact, if you want to backstab as a Spy you can go to a higher place, fall, crouch and backstab the enemy. He will probably don't see that coming.
This got me thinking about how mutch you might like Star Wars bechause clone wars is a great series you could watch. Even if not all episodes but some arcs are quite great for you to watch.
You still seem to have problems with spies, a top tier spy will most likely stab you out of nowhere but there are some things you can easily implement in your game: - Swooshing Sound: The spy makes a really loud swooshing noise when he decloaks, its the same you hear when playing him, listen for it. -People screaming SPY: when hitting X then 2 your char screams SPY! When you look at a player he will scream The... Is a spy , when in doubt hack it -Creeper stare: Especially younger players and Streamsnipers get tunnelvision, when your teamates are staring at you or at nothing while they are away from the from the fighting you should try spychecking them. - There are 3 classes that are good at not getting stabbed: Pyro because Flamechecks Scout because you are quick and you never know where his back is next Soldier because of Rocketjumps, they make you manouverable, hard to reach and nothing is funnier then killing an enemy by the jump itself. -Drops: Spies always have a constant need for ammo and health, if it keeps disappering you might want to check corners for the baguette gobbler.
Something that might be useful to know if you want to play spy and take advantage of disguise. If you reload your revolver your disguise will reload too. Useful for creating confusion
This made me realize why I'm still terrible at playing Spy after all of these years. I never used the disguise function because I would always think "Nobody is gonna fall for that" and then just spend as much time as possible invisible.
you should watch Gaijin Goobah's video on the TF2 Spy after watching this. This video is actually used as a prime example on how Spy's playstyle often uses real life Shinobi tactics. not really military as you've put it, but still used in real world scenarios in a interesting way.
I’m still very much a noob at TF2, but I can’t really get mad when I get killed by spies. It’s a difficult class to play! So honestly, good on them, I’m actually really pleased that I got killed by someone with skill, or at least someone who was willing to commit to an especially hard-to-get-good-at class. And to be perfectly honest I’d rather get killed by a Spy than by the same bot five times in a row.
Along with the “elevated architecture” point is that you should always check these spots, I’ve got so many spies who don’t realize other players have watched the video too
19:32 X-com is a great example of just how important it is to always keep back up options and back up options for your back up options. If you have a low health enemy in sight (let's just say a Thin man) that can even slightly pose a threat and you DON'T have at least 2 soldiers in place with some form of guaranteed damage, you're doing something wrong. Because someday, when you take a 90% shot without a back-up option, you're going to miss and earn your favorite soldier a brand new hole in his brain. I've had it happen in a botched mission where I missed 3 crucial 80% shots in a row with my last 2 soldiers. They both get slaughtered after the enemy I was shooting hit 3 roughly 80% shots in a row. That entire fiasco happened because I was fighting an alien and tried to go for a risky flank that ended up waking up some aliens that I wasn't prepared to fight. Managed to down them (with a casualty), but before I could regroup more enemies showed up that I wasn't prepared to fight, and THEN a Sectopod showed up that I wasn't prepared to fight. A series of disaster dominoes that started because I covered a little too much ground a little too quickly and ended up out of position.
The old X-Coms have horrendously scary reputations, but they're actually a lot easier. More men, more tanks, more explosives, explosives don't always destroy loot...
@@KopperNeoman X-com in general isn't as hard as it's given credit for, honestly. In my case, I just suck at it because the way the game wants me to play isn't the way I enjoy playing.
I really like how unlike most reaction channels, you actually add to the video by talking about real world tactics and how they're unknowingly applied to the game
A fun little fact is Spy is treading a very fine line of a war crime, since he never actually attacks someone while disguised. He drops the disguise after getting into position, THEN he attacks immediately afterward. Just my random thought.
Gaijin Goomba used 10:00 to discuss how ninja Spy can be. I'd definitely suggest looking up some of his videos about ninja tactics to discuss modern implications or parallels.
A video you might like is gaijin goomba video on why spy is a ninja, where he goes into dealtail of how you can use ninja tactes to become a better spy
I seem to play Spy only when i decide to goof around, and I end up doing what i call the "Nuisance Spy" strategy: sneak in with the CloaknDagger, appear in the most unexpected spot, and just mess with people to distract them so my team can just ambush opponents. My fav thing to do is just disguise as an Engie and sit on top of another Engie's stuff and yell out things real engies would say, and wait for the lightbulb in their heads to click, they should be able to phaze through a sentry or dispenser if it were on their team but if the Engie is a Spy, they would be bodyblocked by the spy. I would giggle for moments till they figure it out and i show myself. Another funny trick is disguising as my own team and use the DeadRinger to fake being dead, then fooling them altogether making them very surprised. My absolute favorite thing ever is sneaking up in the Box taunt on an enemy, they see me, i get up and stare, then out of nowhere do the Laugh taunt and instantly killbind. Nothing is funnier than hearing HAA- *dead* to me in Tf2. Also there is a couple hilarious bugs/glitches in the game where if Spy dies when disguised, his ragdoll doesnt appear like how other characters die. When a disguised Spy dies, a dead ragdoll is spawned but it spawns doing the ever funny Tpose and its one of the funnier things Spy does. The second one is sometimes a disguised Spy would be holding his own weapon like an Engineer with an Ambassador or another classes weapon altogether like Demoman holding Heavy's minigun, or the class will be missing something like Demoman's legs will be missing if they are using the booties or Pyro's head is gone if they have certain head cosmetics. Oh and one more thing, When Spy disguises as another class that is slower than them, which is a lot because Spy is the 3rd fastest behind Medic then Scout, if the picked class is slower, he will match their slower speed, but not match speeds of faster classes, revealing that a slow Scout is actually a spy.
Ye but if you are disguised as another separate Engie it wouldn't make sense to another player, engies can go through other engies stuff so if you see an engie on top of another engie's stuff, surprise its a Spy
Another bit of Advice for a Spy player. There is a kill feed, and people paying attention, would see the person they just saw seconds ago got backstabbed. But more than that, would HEAR the death cry from a backstab, which is pretty loud, and they leave a body behind for a few seconds anyone coming around the corner will notice and see with the spy being the only person in the area, even if disguised. However, there is a Dagger with a powerful ability, but crippling curse. First, it removes your ability to use Disguises. You can no longer use the Disguise Item at all. Which can be Crippling as you can not longer just disguise and get behind people for an easy kill even in the chaos. But in return, if you DO manage to backstab someone, their body vanishes instantly, they don't make any sound, the backstab attack makes no sound, there is no Kill Feed of you killing the person, and you are instantly disguised as the person. In a game with friends using discord or voice chat, it's crippling and impossible to use, cause the person you just killed will tell people in voice chat/discord they died and there is a spy. But in a random game, with random people not talking and communicating with each other? It can be very devastating. Especially against newer players who doesn't know it exists.
So fun fact about spy and medic and its that they are the second fastest class in the game having a movement speed of 107% instead of the usual 100% that classes like engineer, sniper and pyro have
@@sensibledog09 Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't know, actually. Demo isn't that much slower than other classes, admittedly, but when a match starts it's still noticeable that the engineers and pyros are moving faster than you.
Apparently there’s a thing called selective blindness for example your attention and focus is drawn onto a certain or particular object or event where you don’t even notice anything else unless it causes a big enough problem to warrant your attention and it’s not even someone but can be something and it’s also a memory problem since that’s how we primarily identify danger or changes to our environment, such as something as as say A burglar breaks into your house but the door is unlocked, you notice small and subtle changes such as say the keys have been moved or that somethings seemed to have disappeared entirely or that the tv is slightly out of place, to something as big as say a car parked down the road that you have never seen before (Which could either be someone’s car, a new car that your neighbors bought or at worst it could have been stolen if not it could be a bomb) to the more mundane such as a building which you don’t remember being like that or even existing despite being there the whole time
3:26 I mean, a few shrubs and maybe tree branches, but yeah, outside of a few fringe cases, if it blocks sight, it blocks bullets. Unless there's a glitch like pyro flaming though the spawn doors.
I like the comments from a military point of view on these videos. As someone who's played this game competitively, I can say that a lot of it actually translates into in game situations and tactics when it comes to playing the game with an organised team and proper strategies involved.
You should react to Void Interactive's trailers for Ready or Not. Not many people are bringing attention to that game and it looks really good for a tactical shooter.
There are also the in-game voice commands, one of which is the "Spy!" call, which can be calledo ut by pressing X+2, or be bound (via console command or in a config file) to a specific button.
Actually, Nordern makes similar videos as Womble and sometimes they even play together. Would you like to watch some of the Nordern's ARMA3 video as well?
It's also that people will usually see what they expect to see. It takes an additional moment to realise that what you are seeing is not what you thought you were seeing. Is it still common practice in western armies to purposly expose the enemy to a scenario that they have trained in extensively? That way you know what they will do, therefore you can lay a trap?
Hey Paul, if you're in need of some new review content that isn't gaming, check out Captain Xavier here in YT. Warhammer 40k and Star Wars, as well as Lego and Nerf fan, he runs a paramilitary Pseudo-LARP group,, of sorts, in the game type of HvZ (Humans vs Zombies), his Crew Auxiliary.
It may surprise some, but i used to be a spy main. I rather take on the best spies in the world than even average sniper, because with the spy there is a counter play. My awarness vs their sneaky and visa versa. Making sure they don't get a trick stab, those high stress moments of hiding before a kill. All wonderful times with a spy... no... The class I hate... SNIPER... There is no counter play to the sniper except sniper. Then it's high noon. Everyone else just needs to stay out of his LOS. I often thing that he should be knocked out of scope and can't scope after being hit for a half second, just to give some way to push them out of their sight lines. To give a counter play if you are aware of the sniper.
Consider this a shameless plug, but I got a catalogue of videos introducing players to Competitive TF2. The main intro video has 6K views and 354 likes to 1 dislike, so I assume that it's well liked lol. Anyway, feel free to react to any videos on the channel to fill you in on TF2's community-ran Competitive scene. The one that overviews the most played competitive format is "Intro to Traditional Competitive 6s Guide" link: ruclips.net/video/epYkKgw4PUM/видео.html
I'm still baffled how the sniper kill confuses him, I'll tell you how it happened. If you watch it closely you can clearly see the sniper was going for a melee hit, but because you stopped, he missed, and kept moving forward, failed to turn around and you backstabbed him. It's......... really not that complicated.
In regards to teamwork. In an early build of team fortress, there would've been a Commander class who would have a full view of the map from above, to better plan things for the team.

So, it's great for just gathering some intel on what the enemy team is doing and the state of their Medic's ubercharge. This isn't done often but is a valid way of playing... but it's best when communicating with a friend in the same game.
Ok definitely gonna start doing that now
@@shadowrosegaming3566 More often than not it's more valuable to make a play rather than stand around and watch. It's why doing that isn't done often.
Honestly the second is probably closer to what a spies actually for
Paul: communication is very important in team fortress 2
team fortress 2: you can't communicate on this account
Ohhhh, so headshots, disguise and the French were combined to create the perfect, ultimate superiority complex character
I think there might be some fringe cases of concealment in tf2.
like spy disguising as a class with a shorter view model to not be seen while their head is technically exposed.
Spy also has a taunt that lets them hide in a cardboard box.
*worldmodel
@@FED0RA thank you I'm not great with the technical terms sometimes
@@RowbotMaster np
Small note, that sonic bit was actually about molestation, not drugs.
10:52 interestingly, this is a major part of being a *ninja*
They had a specific technique, I forget the name, but the entire point was “people don’t use their full field of vision.” When people are looking for someone, they don’t want to get attacked when staring at the floor, or the wall. So if you just kinda crouch near something of a similar color as you, people will be looking *around* for you, not directly at random objects for you. In the same technique, people who aren’t alerted tend to not look up past a certain point so if you hide in a corner of a ceiling or something, even if you’re right in front of someone, as long as they’re close enough to you they won’t see you. You don’t need to hide *behind* something if someone is walking past you, you just need to hide yourself somewhere they aren’t looking. Even if you’re just…sitting there
I am a year later but are you mentioning the Usura Gakure no jutsu and Tanuki Gakure no Jutsu?
The first works exactly as you say, the second is a little different but the idea is the same. Since humans tend to ignore what is above them so ninjas can hide above the eyesight.
In fact, if you want to backstab as a Spy you can go to a higher place, fall, crouch and backstab the enemy. He will probably don't see that coming.
God
Seeing a reaction channel actually prlvide new, unique insight will never not be fascinating to me.
7:38 the best spy players can also get in people's faces, and abuse the melee hit reg for backstabs, but yes, spy isn't a head on class.
This got me thinking about how mutch you might like Star Wars bechause clone wars is a great series you could watch. Even if not all episodes but some arcs are quite great for you to watch.
That was a great series.
Execute order pootis
i wish i could remove my memories and watch it again because season 7 was so good
Star Wars reactions would be dope but copyright issues. Plus, that’s doing a whole series as opposed to just a few videos.

You still seem to have problems with spies, a top tier spy will most likely stab you out of nowhere but there are some things you can easily implement in your game:
- Swooshing Sound: The spy makes a really loud swooshing noise when he decloaks, its the same you hear when playing him, listen for it.
-People screaming SPY: when hitting X then 2 your char screams SPY! When you look at a player he will scream The... Is a spy , when in doubt hack it
-Creeper stare: Especially younger players and Streamsnipers get tunnelvision, when your teamates are staring at you or at nothing while they are away from the from the fighting you should try spychecking them.
- There are 3 classes that are good at not getting stabbed: Pyro because Flamechecks
Scout because you are quick and you never know where his back is next
Soldier because of Rocketjumps, they make you manouverable, hard to reach and nothing is funnier then killing an enemy by the jump itself.
-Drops: Spies always have a constant need for ammo and health, if it keeps disappering you might want to check corners for the baguette gobbler.
Something that might be useful to know if you want to play spy and take advantage of disguise. If you reload your revolver your disguise will reload too.
Useful for creating confusion
This made me realize why I'm still terrible at playing Spy after all of these years. I never used the disguise function because I would always think "Nobody is gonna fall for that" and then just spend as much time as possible invisible.
Don't forget to strike specifically while your target is distracted!
Might as well stay disguised just in case it _does_ fool someone
Fellow cloak and dagger user
you should watch Gaijin Goobah's video on the TF2 Spy after watching this. This video is actually used as a prime example on how Spy's playstyle often uses real life Shinobi tactics. not really military as you've put it, but still used in real world scenarios in a interesting way.
Yes
"he could even be me"
Are you SURE you want to say that line?
I’m still very much a noob at TF2, but I can’t really get mad when I get killed by spies. It’s a difficult class to play! So honestly, good on them, I’m actually really pleased that I got killed by someone with skill, or at least someone who was willing to commit to an especially hard-to-get-good-at class.
And to be perfectly honest I’d rather get killed by a Spy than by the same bot five times in a row.
10:11 This is why I like the cloak and dagger, it's so much easier to make them "chase after you" while you are just sitting against the wall.
Now we wait until he releases Medic and then we have everything we need to know how it feels to play tf 2.
Along with the “elevated architecture” point is that you should always check these spots, I’ve got so many spies who don’t realize other players have watched the video too
6:13 You wouldn't know from that out of content bit of dialogue, but that cartoon Sonic is actually doing a sexual abuse PSA instead of a drug PSA
19:32
X-com is a great example of just how important it is to always keep back up options and back up options for your back up options. If you have a low health enemy in sight (let's just say a Thin man) that can even slightly pose a threat and you DON'T have at least 2 soldiers in place with some form of guaranteed damage, you're doing something wrong. Because someday, when you take a 90% shot without a back-up option, you're going to miss and earn your favorite soldier a brand new hole in his brain. I've had it happen in a botched mission where I missed 3 crucial 80% shots in a row with my last 2 soldiers. They both get slaughtered after the enemy I was shooting hit 3 roughly 80% shots in a row.
That entire fiasco happened because I was fighting an alien and tried to go for a risky flank that ended up waking up some aliens that I wasn't prepared to fight. Managed to down them (with a casualty), but before I could regroup more enemies showed up that I wasn't prepared to fight, and THEN a Sectopod showed up that I wasn't prepared to fight. A series of disaster dominoes that started because I covered a little too much ground a little too quickly and ended up out of position.
The old X-Coms have horrendously scary reputations, but they're actually a lot easier. More men, more tanks, more explosives, explosives don't always destroy loot...
@@KopperNeoman X-com in general isn't as hard as it's given credit for, honestly. In my case, I just suck at it because the way the game wants me to play isn't the way I enjoy playing.
I really like how unlike most reaction channels, you actually add to the video by talking about real world tactics and how they're unknowingly applied to the game
A fun little fact is Spy is treading a very fine line of a war crime, since he never actually attacks someone while disguised. He drops the disguise after getting into position, THEN he attacks immediately afterward. Just my random thought.
He's only treading a very fine line if he works for the losing team. If he works for the winning team, then he is a hero.
Well, LazyPurple also made more of these How It Feels videos including 2 on Pyro (1 How It Feels, and 1 Extras on How It Feels to play Pyro!)
Gaijin Goomba used 10:00 to discuss how ninja Spy can be. I'd definitely suggest looking up some of his videos about ninja tactics to discuss modern implications or parallels.
If you have it, sniper has an item called the razorback which prevents backstabs.
Huge help as a long-range class.
6:18
No, that's the molestation Sonic Sez.
Suggestion, Uncle Dane's tf2 short recap. Trust me, its a bit more than just a recap
You are the only reactor that has a nice start with this career
A video you might like is gaijin goomba video on why spy is a ninja, where he goes into dealtail of how you can use ninja tactes to become a better spy
I seem to play Spy only when i decide to goof around, and I end up doing what i call the "Nuisance Spy" strategy: sneak in with the CloaknDagger, appear in the most unexpected spot, and just mess with people to distract them so my team can just ambush opponents. My fav thing to do is just disguise as an Engie and sit on top of another Engie's stuff and yell out things real engies would say, and wait for the lightbulb in their heads to click, they should be able to phaze through a sentry or dispenser if it were on their team but if the Engie is a Spy, they would be bodyblocked by the spy. I would giggle for moments till they figure it out and i show myself. Another funny trick is disguising as my own team and use the DeadRinger to fake being dead, then fooling them altogether making them very surprised. My absolute favorite thing ever is sneaking up in the Box taunt on an enemy, they see me, i get up and stare, then out of nowhere do the Laugh taunt and instantly killbind. Nothing is funnier than hearing HAA- *dead* to me in Tf2. Also there is a couple hilarious bugs/glitches in the game where if Spy dies when disguised, his ragdoll doesnt appear like how other characters die. When a disguised Spy dies, a dead ragdoll is spawned but it spawns doing the ever funny Tpose and its one of the funnier things Spy does. The second one is sometimes a disguised Spy would be holding his own weapon like an Engineer with an Ambassador or another classes weapon altogether like Demoman holding Heavy's minigun, or the class will be missing something like Demoman's legs will be missing if they are using the booties or Pyro's head is gone if they have certain head cosmetics. Oh and one more thing, When Spy disguises as another class that is slower than them, which is a lot because Spy is the 3rd fastest behind Medic then Scout, if the picked class is slower, he will match their slower speed, but not match speeds of faster classes, revealing that a slow Scout is actually a spy.
Hey, uh, an Engie can't phase through their own buildings.
Ye but if you are disguised as another separate Engie it wouldn't make sense to another player, engies can go through other engies stuff so if you see an engie on top of another engie's stuff, surprise its a Spy
His advice on architecture ended up fucking over the advice- people started using it
Another bit of Advice for a Spy player. There is a kill feed, and people paying attention, would see the person they just saw seconds ago got backstabbed. But more than that, would HEAR the death cry from a backstab, which is pretty loud, and they leave a body behind for a few seconds anyone coming around the corner will notice and see with the spy being the only person in the area, even if disguised.
However, there is a Dagger with a powerful ability, but crippling curse. First, it removes your ability to use Disguises. You can no longer use the Disguise Item at all. Which can be Crippling as you can not longer just disguise and get behind people for an easy kill even in the chaos.
But in return, if you DO manage to backstab someone, their body vanishes instantly, they don't make any sound, the backstab attack makes no sound, there is no Kill Feed of you killing the person, and you are instantly disguised as the person.
In a game with friends using discord or voice chat, it's crippling and impossible to use, cause the person you just killed will tell people in voice chat/discord they died and there is a spy. But in a random game, with random people not talking and communicating with each other? It can be very devastating. Especially against newer players who doesn't know it exists.
@@dacomputernerd4096 I don't know. I stopped playing TF2 many, MANY years ago. Like, well over 5+ years by now
Finally been waiting for this.
Ngl spy is only great when the entire enemy doesn't know how to look back for spies
So fun fact about spy and medic and its that they are the second fastest class in the game having a movement speed of 107% instead of the usual 100% that classes like engineer, sniper and pyro have
Might want to replace Demo with Pyro. Demo is 93% speed.
@@notalive5479 demo has 93% walking speed?
Edit:just looked it up wow i didnt know that
@@sensibledog09 Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't know, actually. Demo isn't that much slower than other classes, admittedly, but when a match starts it's still noticeable that the engineers and pyros are moving faster than you.
Apparently there’s a thing called selective blindness for example your attention and focus is drawn onto a certain or particular object or event where you don’t even notice anything else unless it causes a big enough problem to warrant your attention and it’s not even someone but can be something and it’s also a memory problem since that’s how we primarily identify danger or changes to our environment, such as something as as say
A burglar breaks into your house but the door is unlocked, you notice small and subtle changes such as say the keys have been moved or that somethings seemed to have disappeared entirely or that the tv is slightly out of place, to something as big as say a car parked down the road that you have never seen before (Which could either be someone’s car, a new car that your neighbors bought or at worst it could have been stolen if not it could be a bomb) to the more mundane such as a building which you don’t remember being like that or even existing despite being there the whole time
As a side tangent could you react to Gaijin Goomba’s Which Ninja video on the the Spy, since he goes over the significance of the corner.
That bit about camouflage reminds me of that picture of a brick wall from MGS3 people keep insisting has Big Boss in it. It's just a dang wall!
Ledges like LazyPurple was talking about is actually a psychological trick used by ninjas
Gaijin Goombah did a video on that.
@@KopperNeoman where do you think I learned that
Best way to counter spy is to know how ninjas works
It's always nice to climb a roof full of sniper campers and clear it as a spy.
Well before I have an aneurysm because of my OCD I should let you know that the position of the video makes the left side of it go off screen for us.
3:26
I mean, a few shrubs and maybe tree branches, but yeah, outside of a few fringe cases, if it blocks sight, it blocks bullets. Unless there's a glitch like pyro flaming though the spawn doors.
react to extras pls ty
I like the comments from a military point of view on these videos. As someone who's played this game competitively, I can say that a lot of it actually translates into in game situations and tactics when it comes to playing the game with an organised team and proper strategies involved.
A suggestion. A analisis of "Star Wars Clone wars 2003-2005". Its a epic serie, and you can find it on RUclips the two volumens (each of 1 hour).
You should react to Void Interactive's trailers for Ready or Not. Not many people are bringing attention to that game and it looks really good for a tactical shooter.
There are also the in-game voice commands, one of which is the "Spy!" call, which can be calledo ut by pressing X+2, or be bound (via console command or in a config file) to a specific button.
After years...

Guys we found the spy it's paul
Thank you paul for reacting to my main
P sure lazy's makign HIFTP Medic rn though, so it's great!
Water could work for concealment in TF2, that’s what Pyros do a lot of the time and Engineers can conceal some of their buildings underwater
im not a good player but dam i love those random crit spy kills on a goof spy check dont it with soldier whip and a random crit rocket
THANK YOU!
0:55 I can tell, like a painter. I'm always Imagine how I can draw some moments, when I play. Maybe is artist stuff

Hey Paul, I love your channel. Have you ever tried playing XCOM? I suspect you'd enjoy it
Please check out Count Dankulas Mad Lads. Especially the general butt naked one and purple Aki.
Please watch "Which TF2 Mercenary is the Biggest War Criminal" by Bumbles McFumbles.
It's also that people will usually see what they expect to see. It takes an additional moment to realise that what you are seeing is not what you thought you were seeing. Is it still common practice in western armies to purposly expose the enemy to a scenario that they have trained in extensively? That way you know what they will do, therefore you can lay a trap?
Hey Paul, if you're in need of some new review content that isn't gaming, check out Captain Xavier here in YT. Warhammer 40k and Star Wars, as well as Lego and Nerf fan, he runs a paramilitary Pseudo-LARP group,, of sorts, in the game type of HvZ (Humans vs Zombies), his Crew Auxiliary.

Maybe he's channeling a bit of the TF2 Soldier? :P
It may surprise some, but i used to be a spy main. I rather take on the best spies in the world than even average sniper, because with the spy there is a counter play. My awarness vs their sneaky and visa versa. Making sure they don't get a trick stab, those high stress moments of hiding before a kill. All wonderful times with a spy...
no... The class I hate...
SNIPER... There is no counter play to the sniper except sniper. Then it's high noon. Everyone else just needs to stay out of his LOS. I often thing that he should be knocked out of scope and can't scope after being hit for a half second, just to give some way to push them out of their sight lines. To give a counter play if you are aware of the sniper.
There is a permeable surface. It medics shield in mvm.
I love how he faked his death to teach him a lesson.
Spy might be Paul O_o
As a scout and spy main, I'm disappointed in the thumbnail 😞
but,,,, he didnt talk about the dead ringer? ,,,, is that not an important tool that the spy has.
Hey, could you shift the video screen a bit to the right. You zoomed in during a previous video and are now cutting off the left edge of the video.
Consider this a shameless plug, but I got a catalogue of videos introducing players to Competitive TF2. The main intro video has 6K views and 354 likes to 1 dislike, so I assume that it's well liked lol. Anyway, feel free to react to any videos on the channel to fill you in on TF2's community-ran Competitive scene.

5:52 ah, like wave 666
40% video 60% talking about realife knowledge
I'm still baffled how the sniper kill confuses him, I'll tell you how it happened.
If you watch it closely you can clearly see the sniper was going for a melee hit, but because you stopped, he missed, and kept moving forward, failed to turn around and you backstabbed him. It's......... really not that complicated.
In regards to teamwork. In an early build of team fortress, there would've been a Commander class who would have a full view of the map from above, to better plan things for the team.
