In the clip where the Demo's stickybomb blasted you up in the air and you took no damage. My thinking leads me to believe that the Demo came out from under the floor to sticky-jump as you were jumping over him which lead to him sticky jumping into your feet and launching you into the air which would explain why you took no blast damage at all from the sticky.
Thays about how i had it happen, but i figured that thw scout doing a JoJo pose was the joke. I only saw goku the third time i watched this video, and i felt like I saw god and never knew
The enemy team is more likely to notice someone pissing from a mile away with their microphone on, rather than noticing kj sapping their engineer's shit and shanking their medic.
Actually his power is more like Koishi Komeji cause at least I have trouble remembering him when he's not actually doing something on screen or being actively talked about
6:34 I just realized the reason the pyro look directly at you instead of KJ, cant explain why the pyro suddenly forgot but I think you were disguised as that pyro, so it clicked in his brain faster that YOU were the odd one out
I think the reason he was so blind to KJ in the first place was, he never actually SAW the sapping happen; he was running to the ammo pack at the time and it happened behind him. By the time he turned around, the Medic was already healing KJ, clearing him of suspicion, whereupon he began to spycheck randomly, and as you said, saw himself running around and began the hunt.
I just love how almost nobody is talking about SoundSmith's sound designs on the video. He literally made it work, and designed how this can go to that and this will ALSO work with that, etc. I really like how he did the sound designs in the video, even if they were just- banging pots and pans together or some food squishing. He's called SoundSmith for a REASON.
I mean I've personally praised his audio design so much over videos recent and old alike, it's feeling kinda old hat. He's earned his laurels big time, I just don't wanna sound like a broken fookin' record.
"If it's alright with y'all i want to shamelessly rip a page out of Lazypurple's book" Yes it is very much ok. I love the extra developer commentary about the finished video.
@@unclesizorsalad8169 thanks! Good to hear he’s taking a break, not gonna be one of those viewers who bitches about their creators not posting, just didn’t know what happened
I’m only now realizing that the background track at 9:00 is derived from “Right Behind You”, the ominous piano track that plays in the second half of Meet the Spy and one of TF2’s most iconic leitmotifs. Now I’m even more impressed by the amount of detail that goes into these videos. Bravo, Soundsmith.
@@Alexaction223 The arpeggio is oversimplified (and sped up, I think) but the core elements of the melody (arpeggiated chords, same bassline movement) are very similar to the melody of "Right Behind You"
It's all the work of KJ's Stand "Don't Stop Me Now", allows him continue act as he normally would when doing something incredibly dumb or badass while causing all around him to shift attention elsewhere and or shift any ire towards a near by friend
Stand name: [Don’t Stop Me Now] Localized Name: [Unstoppable] Power: [Don’t Stop Me Now] channels blame away from the user, redirecting it into the nearest target that the victim would interpret as likely. This allows the user to do ridiculous things with near to no repercussions, but the stand has pathetic actual stats, meaning that if there is no target for the redirected ire, the user would lose in a straight up fight. Hard countered by any sort of homing stand or one not connected to a user like [Notorious BIG]
I just noticed, but that Pyro turned around to you instead of chasing KJ down because you had the misfortune to be disguised as him while in his periphery. Like yeah he *could* track down the spy that just sapped a sentry and booked it, but then your disguise gave you away as trying for a play right then and there while KJ was booking it, so they prioritized the spy that hadn't made their play yet over the one that had and was on the run.
I'd admit, even if this is similar to LazyPurple's 'Behind the Scenes' format, I much prefer yours much more. The way you explain yourself, the tiny moments inside the editing, all of those, are just so great to hear, and I couldn't ask for a more, and forever being grateful that you took the time to still upload this for us. KJ and you are a great team that can talk about anything (being TF2 related or not) and still make it sound fun and exciting. Please keep up the amazing job you two mad lads!

The clips of people just forgetting KJ exists proves the fact that stands are real. Bearded has King Crimson and KJ has Jailhouse Lock thanks for telling me the name guys
Well Jailhouse rock's ability is that you can only remember 3 things (I think?) then you would forget, but that doesn't really make you _invisible_ to people, he would probably have the Invisible Baby's stand or he's using Metalica to blend in with the environment

And thats a pretty cool job ngl. Now, its time to wonder what will be next in the trash guide series...
I love how soundsmith doesn’t care what he does to get sounds for his videos he literally has a closet with random stuff to make sounds and that is peak performance in a nutshell
I just can't get over the fact that SoundSmith is now literally a sound smith, he made a lot of nice sound stuff for this one! The amount of work put into the Mann's Guide series is insane and admirable, y'all do awesome stuff.
Yo I absolutely love these. The amount of work, time and effort you, KJ and the animators put into this is honestly out of this world. This ain't some ordinary, class breakdown. It's a labor of love, dude. For real. Mann's Guide is absolutely incredible
It's likely that the demo was still there and Source has this weird thing, as explained by LazyPurple, where sticky explosions will register how much damage it takes to kill the demo who shot them in the first place and then simply delete the excess. You most likely got hit by the splash damage's AoE knockback effects since you would be in the AoE, but took no damage because the stickies' demo ate all the actual numerical damage.
Good idea, but you can see the smoke trails from the sticky jump when he looks down. The pinned comment suggest that Soundsmith jumped over the guys head as he was jumping, so he got boosted by the demos head hitting his feet.
Rewatching, the sound design portion of the video is probably my favorite. The details are minor but add so much more quality to the final product, huge difference between just having the visuals, to having the sound and visual combo. This is truly the most awesome epic spectacular video of.
Honestly I didn’t even realize that the thumbnails were a collective reference to classical art. I just thought the force of nature thumbnail was for the “church of scunts” gag (because that was the obvious Michelangelo one) The big earner video is probably my favorite so far. I look forward to more in the future but take your time with it!
1:04 can maybe be that the knockback blast and damage blast from the sticky are difrent, so the knockback is bigger so you get hit by blast but not by damage
What is the song he is referencing at 9:04? I don’t know where I’ve heard it before. Edit: Never mind. It’s “Right Behind You” from the TF2 soundtrack. Man I feel dumb.
I personally LOVE the little self-indulgent sound design breakdown bits. Your sound work is always hella crispy, and I find it really interesting. Cheers, smitheroo of the audio.
The fact that the original video was so good on it's own makes the fact that "I am a film nerd watching behind the scenes videos" so much more rewarding. Plus, seeing how things are made just makes the the full product that much better.
These Mann’s guide will only get better in production and quality as time goes on, can’t wait for 10+ years later where tf2 is STILL NOT DEAD and this series is iconic
Honestly, I was so shocked to hear this had been in the works for 2 years. I knew the video took a long time, but 2 years for any project is insane. It just goes to show the amount of dedication you and your team have for this game.
I just gotta say real quick, holy hell your guys' hard work paid off amazingly for the video and I've watched it over and over again because the beautiful work combined with the great comedy makes it a goddamn masterpiece. Love your work so so much (also seeing the Vermintide comparison got me to download the game and now im hype)
I wish playing spy wasnt like "oh hey Im going to play spy" no spies on your team, enemy super unaware of spies, but when you click it they all go pyro and spycheck everywhere and you die every time and it sucks
As a Pyro Main, it's frustrating when the first enemy Spy appears and I have to switch classes because everyone else starts doing my job, even if I actually killed the Spy, because everyone expects 20 to show up after the first one dies.
@@CrazyQuilman157 still annoying as fuck when I decloak in the middle of a firefight way behind the enemy team and some random heavy turns around or a random scorch shit projectile just hits me from nowhere
@Blackout And play Better Spy? Idk how, but I'm worse at that unless I'm using Huntsman...but I think I'm probably just better with projectiles than hitscan, anyway, since I've missed targets at point-blank with the Panic Attack...and this was a few months ago.
3:41 The continued evidence, along with the fact that he literally made a song for another character on his music channel, that Soundsmith did indeed watch RWBY.
When you got launched the sticky at around 1:40 it was maybe caused by fact that mabe that demo used that sticky to sticky jump, you landed on his head and that launched you to stratosphere.
Honestly I love this behind the scenes stuff, I hope we get more of it as a bonus after every Mann’s Guide because y’all put a ton of work into this and it’s great seeing all the scrapped bits. As a writer I love seeing the bits that got left on the cutting room floor and how you all wanted to include more of them, but didn’t to make the video better. It makes things feel a lot more honest and way more entertaining, and both Mann’s Guide and this video knocked it out of the park.
Okay, ngl, the clips of the sound design demonstrations are unholy amounts of dopamine levels of satisfying man, you're really getting better and better with that.
The poor scout at the intro xD KJ : *"I am the spy"* The enemy team : *"Does Spy even exist in TF2?"* Wow I didn't know the thumbnails are referencing the old paintings
I love that you did a breakdown of your video. It's awesome to see everything that goes into it from the jokes to the writing to the sound design and if I'm being honest it inspires me to try to improve on my sound design or lack thereof.
The opening was great. The anticipation of the trickstab, the comical death, the maniacal laughter into sheer shock and terror. Perfection. The perfect clip.
Hey soundsmith, just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying these videos of yours, feels like your comedy has been blending well with your own style and even with lazy purple (which for the record, is a compliment), good job finding your niche
12:55 Honestly, I love this clip so much It looks like the Spy just jumped 10 meters down with no regard for his own life (or legs), while the Demo doesn't have any idea what is even going on
Honestly I'm glad this video was styled this way. I live for seeing thought processes/behind the scenes breakdowns of how things were done and it just helps make it easier to appreciate just the sheer scale of production that can go into something that can seem deceptively simple
I always find myself rewatching this video just for the sound design aspect of it. It is so much more complex and interesting than I thought it would be and it looks and sounds so cool
@@XDRosenheim Ask Valve. But last I checked, you can't record replays/demos on official servers. Feel free to test it and prove me wrong - please, I would rather be wrong here.
Ok so basically, assuming the demo was in blast radius, the stickies first calculate how much damage that hits the demo, and then all the other damage disappears. It happemed on Lazy's "How it FEELS to play Demoman"
Honestly I have no idea how KJ has that aura as well, but for some reason he's a person who always manages to go into the background in my opinion. He just manages to fade away into wherever even if he's not a spy. He just has this aura of fading to him.

You most likely got hit by the splash damage's AoE knockback effects since you would be in the AoE, but took no damage because the stickies' demo ate all the actual numerical damage.
Good idea, but you can see the smoke trails from the sticky jump when he looks down. The pinned comment suggest that Soundsmith jumped over the guys head as he was jumping, so he got boosted by the demos head hitting his feet.
The sound breakdown was actually really cool. I would love to see more of stuff like that.
Rewatching, the sound design portion of the video is probably my favorite. The details are minor but add so much more quality to the final product, huge difference between just having the visuals, to having the sound and visual combo. This is truly the most awesome epic spectacular video of.
I really like the segments where you talk about sound design, shame that the RUclips algorithm thinks otherwise
Seven seconds and I'm ready for the bonus clips
Honestly I didn’t even realize that the thumbnails were a collective reference to classical art. I just thought the force of nature thumbnail was for the “church of scunts” gag (because that was the obvious Michelangelo one)
The big earner video is probably my favorite so far. I look forward to more in the future but take your time with it!
sound design has always fascinated me and you do it very well kudos my friend
1:04
can maybe be that the knockback blast and damage blast from the sticky are difrent, so the knockback is bigger so you get hit by blast but not by damage
That "Erin: Bleaugh" bit was killing me hard.
the sticky oddly enough wasn't in range but instead the demo tried jumping with the sticky causing the momentum to change from the demo to you
I would LOVE to see more sound design stuff, it’s a subject that doesn’t get as much attention as I think it deserves
Agreed
What is the song he is referencing at 9:04? I don’t know where I’ve heard it before.
Edit: Never mind. It’s “Right Behind You” from the TF2 soundtrack. Man I feel dumb.
Don’t worry, I didn’t recognize it either
I personally LOVE the little self-indulgent sound design breakdown bits. Your sound work is always hella crispy, and I find it really interesting. Cheers, smitheroo of the audio.
I love the sound design sections, and the breakdowns *of the sounds you used and what things you had to work around! It was really fascinating.
I absolutey adore your sound breakdowns, and this was something I'd never even thought about until you made that DnD video
This literally came into my recommended when this was just posted 2 minutes ago for me, tf2 is one hell of a drug
The fact that the original video was so good on it's own makes the fact that "I am a film nerd watching behind the scenes videos" so much more rewarding. Plus, seeing how things are made just makes the the full product that much better.
And the way it just becomes a funny moments montage is just great
These Mann’s guide will only get better in production and quality as time goes on, can’t wait for 10+ years later where tf2 is STILL NOT DEAD and this series is iconic
"Oh my man ran outta mousepad" All low-sensitivity players know that pain
That Stickybomb either registered you as in range, but not fully, and did not do damage.
Or TF2 did some good RNG on your side and rolled 0 damage.
The demo had a sticky jumper, jumped from below and smashed into his feet and launched sound
Someone else already deduced what happened. Soundsmith landed on a sticky jumping Demo, sending the Demo back down and him straight up.
@@Recker45-70 it was a regular sticky bomb launcher, but you're probably right
@@trainershade1937 the demo got footstooled
@@tomnadoyeet6225 Yes... I just said that... thanks.
Honestly, I was so shocked to hear this had been in the works for 2 years. I knew the video took a long time, but 2 years for any project is insane. It just goes to show the amount of dedication you and your team have for this game.
that’s lazy purp…
7:05
When the pyro notices Soundsmith instead of KJ is because Soundsmith was disguised as the pyro, making it very obvious at which is the spy.
I just gotta say real quick, holy hell your guys' hard work paid off amazingly for the video and I've watched it over and over again because the beautiful work combined with the great comedy makes it a goddamn masterpiece. Love your work so so much
(also seeing the Vermintide comparison got me to download the game and now im hype)
I wish playing spy wasnt like "oh hey Im going to play spy"
no spies on your team, enemy super unaware of spies, but when you click it they all go pyro and spycheck everywhere and you die every time and it sucks
As a Pyro Main, it's frustrating when the first enemy Spy appears and I have to switch classes because everyone else starts doing my job, even if I actually killed the Spy, because everyone expects 20 to show up after the first one dies.
@@CrazyQuilman157 still annoying as fuck when I decloak in the middle of a firefight way behind the enemy team and some random heavy turns around or a random scorch shit projectile just hits me from nowhere
@@9frames590 Yeah, I literally just stay cloaked when I play Spy. Maybe hunt down an enemy Snety, but that's about it. I don't land key picks well.
@Blackout And play Better Spy? Idk how, but I'm worse at that unless I'm using Huntsman...but I think I'm probably just better with projectiles than hitscan, anyway, since I've missed targets at point-blank with the Panic Attack...and this was a few months ago.
Or when you do play spy at least slightly well and half the enemy team goes scorch shot pyro and spam every corner they can see
09:33 wow, that is just so satysfying. Sucha s shame that it was so unnoticable in the final video. Great work man!
3:41
The continued evidence, along with the fact that he literally made a song for another character on his music channel, that Soundsmith did indeed watch RWBY.
I hope he does.
I LITERALLY scrolled down here for that exact same second to see if anyone else had noticed it
PAIN IS YOUR REWARD FOR BEING NEAR ME
dude you could have just watched the one gmod video where they literally talk about RWBY
Ok I honestly love how you went into talking about the video and talking about all the sound design and how you did certain things
The Mann’s guide is bg far far one of your best video series in my opinion, keep up the great work, and don’t get burnt out on this series
When you got launched the sticky at around 1:40 it was maybe caused by fact that mabe that demo used that sticky to sticky jump, you landed on his head and that launched you to stratosphere.
KJ when he plays spy is just a walking Jedi mind trick
"I am not here and you do not see me"
"This is not the spy you're looking for"
5:04 my entire spy gameplay XD
Honestly I love this behind the scenes stuff, I hope we get more of it as a bonus after every Mann’s Guide because y’all put a ton of work into this and it’s great seeing all the scrapped bits. As a writer I love seeing the bits that got left on the cutting room floor and how you all wanted to include more of them, but didn’t to make the video better. It makes things feel a lot more honest and way more entertaining, and both Mann’s Guide and this video knocked it out of the park.
1:51 I think the reason you took no damage is because the demoman was there and he took all of the damage and you just flew
You just have 7 Levels in Rogue for the sticky bomb
fuckin' Evasion, lmao
Hell yea
This might be the most underrated and hearted comment on all of RUclips. Time to ruin it.
Yeah spy is probably an Assassin rogue
Okay, ngl, the clips of the sound design demonstrations are unholy amounts of dopamine levels of satisfying man, you're really getting better and better with that.
The poor scout at the intro xD
KJ : *"I am the spy"*
The enemy team : *"Does Spy even exist in TF2?"*
Wow I didn't know the thumbnails are referencing the old paintings
I always see you in TF2 comment sections lmao
I love that you did a breakdown of your video. It's awesome to see everything that goes into it from the jokes to the writing to the sound design and if I'm being honest it inspires me to try to improve on my sound design or lack thereof.
i fucking love the background info into the sound design. incredible attention to detail and extremely well made.
I expected this and was definitely not disappointed
At about 3:40 if anyone’s interested the song clip he plays is Bad Luck Charm by Jeff and Casey Williams
Got damn, Crow's theme got me good. Truly painful and laughable at the same time.
Wow glad I wasn’t the only one to notice it.
Explain if ye pleas
@@Phhase 3:40 the "Pain" here is from Qrow's theme 'Bad luck charm'
@@Jacob_G9 Ah, rwby reference?
@@Phhase yeah
The opening was great. The anticipation of the trickstab, the comical death, the maniacal laughter into sheer shock and terror. Perfection.
The perfect clip.
Hey soundsmith, just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying these videos of yours, feels like your comedy has been blending well with your own style and even with lazy purple (which for the record, is a compliment), good job finding your niche
I love it everytime Soundsmith shows how he makes his sounds, they are always sooooo interesting!
The sound design is on another level, it's so cool, to hear it without the main beat and just the finer details.
12:55
Honestly, I love this clip so much
It looks like the Spy just jumped 10 meters down with no regard for his own life (or legs), while the Demo doesn't have any idea what is even going on
Honestly I'm glad this video was styled this way. I live for seeing thought processes/behind the scenes breakdowns of how things were done and it just helps make it easier to appreciate just the sheer scale of production that can go into something that can seem deceptively simple
I always find myself rewatching this video just for the sound design aspect of it. It is so much more complex and interesting than I thought it would be and it looks and sounds so cool
God that knife sound is C R I S P 9:54
That stickybomb clip is the exact reason why you should record "demos" in source engine games.
Makes it a lot easier to analyse.
I don't think we have that option in Valve servers anymore.
@@syweb2 I don't believe that. Why would they remove that feature from their servers?
@@XDRosenheim Ask Valve.
But last I checked, you can't record replays/demos on official servers. Feel free to test it and prove me wrong - please, I would rather be wrong here.
@@syweb2 Okay, so I installed TF2 today. Been a looong time. demos were available on the casual-matchmaking.
@@syweb2 have you tried just running the record "demoname" command.
Ok so basically, assuming the demo was in blast radius, the stickies first calculate how much damage that hits the demo, and then all the other damage disappears. It happemed on Lazy's "How it FEELS to play Demoman"
I thought that only happens when demo dies from his blast
@@AuGrrr yep
I love you talking about sound design for its what I do for my entire channel. So its nice to see someone who likes sound design as much as I do.
Honestly I have no idea how KJ has that aura as well, but for some reason he's a person who always manages to go into the background in my opinion. He just manages to fade away into wherever even if he's not a spy. He just has this aura of fading to him.
