A thing I noticed with the third game: The Spy uses a friendly disguise while leaving spawn. This is good because he will get his next disguise faster and will not show up because of spawning wallhacks. If he wanted to do the same while disguised as an enemy he would have had to use cloak, which might be important later when you're deeper in enemy lines.
Main the class that you actually enjoy playing, and not the class that you want to, cuz let me tell you, dying 5 times in a row as a spy just because of random things is a pain in the ass. For example that single flame particle hitting you then that alrerts the enemy team, the back hitbox being a complete garbage and not being able to backstab that afk f2p heavy because of that, and overall the enemy being experienced. Ofc im not trying to tell you not to play spy at all, cuz obviously you can try, but if its really not working and you're not having fun at all, just dont force yourself.
@@DoubleTwo2AA How is he supposed to know what classes he enjoys without playing the ones he wants to. Plus if he enjoys one he will want to play it, so that's kinda contraditory
@@DoubleTwo2AA If he is excited to get a pc so he can play tf2, he probably hasn't played it yet. Maybe on the ps3 or xbox 360? Either way not only is the pc version substantially different but my point still stands
Hate vids like this where you've got your face on facecam but are also giving really helpful important advice. How am I supposed to learn useful information from a master when you're literally so damn handsome I can't even focus on what you're saying? Great vid as always Hint
im the third dude lamp towel is a name i came up with from looking at household objects i'm a 6s demo player but i saw the ping while coincidentally messing around with some dumb spy setups in a pub and just popped open obs i legitimately barely play spy i have 23.3 hours as of now pubs will be pubs though
Once I died when once i decloaked my strange cloak and dagger reached a new rank (server wide announcement) and the heavy just spun around and vaporized me and did the laugh taunt.
I think in game 2,the moment he shoots the sandvich eating heavy he should have gone for headshots,at least that will thin out his health enough for another revolver shot when he's done with the sandvich
Sadly, all I can do in Casual is prey to a God for a game without bots and good matchmaking(rare) In community servers there's a lot of 2Fort servers actually and that's all I can play. After 50 hours in 2Fort I know every corner where I can hide, surprise or ambush my enemies, about 100 points I can earn in here for 30min-1hour But then I find a Payload game without bots which is rare as I said, I'm just suck at Spy, yeah I got stabs sometimes, but not that often as in 2Fort
i also find it works best to aim where they're looking, but if you aim too far either way it won't work. you need to aim where they're facing for it to count as a backstab but not so far that you just swing at the wait next to them
200 hours isn't brand new, you can have good map knowledge with that many hours. Keep in mind 200 hours is about 8 full days of playtime, if you watch guides (he looks like he has because of a custom hud and good game settings) you can learn good map knowledge
there is only one trick to get good at spy. buy a good or expensive pc so it gives you a nice fps always. you always should have atleast minimum 150 fps if you wanna get good at trickstab. because to do trickstab or even a normal stab you need to be always close to people's face and that is very fps demanding thing specially if that player wearing unusual. that's why sniper is the least fps demanding class.
Hi, Im the guy in the first game. Thanks for the tips and kind words. Love the vids as always.
That gameplay was really good and I have like 80 hours in spy.
25 hours? Thats absolutely crazy. I have trouble getting more than one pick per life with 70 hrs. Keep it up
23:38 It's easier to stab an engineer when's he's hauling a building because he moves slightly slower (from 100% to like 90 or 95%)
it's 90%, i think it used to be 80 or 70 in the past but it got buffed
WAIT HE DOES!?
Didn’t know that, and I main Engineer.

I've only seen this type of disguise when people use dead ringer,didn't know it has this use

Can't fret over every spy
Thanks for reviewing my Spy gameplay! It was interesting to see what you thought of it, if only I was good at trickstabs!
which hud did you use please?
@@THOSEWHOKNOWTROLL Toon hud.
I dont know why but you give me a lot of mrpaladin vibes. maybe its the old educational chill vibes these kinds of videos give andits pretty nostalgic
I like this series cuz I can learn from a master
You’re too kind
The tone change when he thought the third guy said "ez"
I'm so excited to get my PC for TF2. Gonna main spy.

Your hair gets better looking every video.
I've been waiting for this for a long time, also i love your hair lol.
20 hours spy plays better than me lmao
Spy is so goddamn difficult to be effective with

The third game lol,that was literally 3 medics chaining uber on our spy
Here's proof Jesus was a spy main
one thing i wish i did when i started spy is to play payload instead of 2fort and only 2fort
Thank you for this.
Hintshot, always producing great content

He was using stock revolver not the amby
@@King_Kitsunestill has more chance to random crit
@@vietnguyenhoang5795 the amby doesn't random crit
@@King_Kitsune I meant the revolver.From my past experiences,you tend to get more random crits when aiming at their heads
So I’m a new spy main and managed to completely accidentally get two matadors in a row, and now I’m opening my wallet so my spy can look cool.
Actually learned a lot
I got 56 points as spy and topscored the server, in 2fort of course, but the enemy had 4 f2p and 1 good pyro, i got good yay
26:40 hint said sus
love ya hair
on game 1 i noticed that they only disguised as pyro

5:48 that's odd, because i remember culruldud saying you should aim at their back. i wonder if you have reason for saying that or it's just precedent
i also find it works best to aim where they're looking, but if you aim too far either way it won't work. you need to aim where they're facing for it to count as a backstab but not so far that you just swing at the wait next to them
hey hintshot loving the vids just asking what hud you use
Cool
HintShot whaddya doing in a seasonlander??
Where can people send you clips?
I would want to send you a video, but I play on a laptop so when I record my fps drops alot. But hopefully I can maybe manage to get good footage.
how much time did it take to grow hair like that
the first guy definitely a smurf trying to look like a newbie. no way you have that kind of map knowledge only after 200 hours.
200 hours isn't brand new, you can have good map knowledge with that many hours. Keep in mind 200 hours is about 8 full days of playtime, if you watch guides (he looks like he has because of a custom hud and good game settings) you can learn good map knowledge
He probably watches alot of guides tbh.

What do I have to do to qualify for submitting a clip?
hey am a spy main and i am wondering when the next spy talk video is i have 40 hours and i need tips

this entire comment makes zero sense
This guy's telling me I need 150 fps but with 30 I play normally and without problems
I've never seen his face before
Why he so damn beautiful
Who is that strange young man with the long hair next to you on the Thumbnail?
Hi
Wait hintshot is hot?!!!
always has been
Why are you like, extremely pretty
Third
You are fourth
Oh, you analyzing spy clips?
How about you analyze your life choices?
He did, and the feedback was that it's pretty good
