My favorite kind of spy is the one that stabs you right in front of a sentry gun or your whole team, and dies a second later. But not because you're an especially important target. Because that was their brilliant plan all along.

Bro.. this happened. The enemy pushed and won. We had a heavy and two Uber medics, a demo and a soldier and one engineer with a sentry, he pulls up. Slaps the medic. The engineer puts up his wrangler and the heavy turns. The spy dies, and the enemy sniper pops the other medic. I'm here as a huntsman sniper, a demoknight runs. Slams the heavy, a soldier fires a three shot with the beggars. Than the heavy dies and I get rushed. I die, and the soldier and demo soon die, the enemy takes the point. And I now hate spies.

You should've used the :toofthink: emote to be fair

As a spy player with my fair share of experience in pubs and competitive , I'll just add to what you say in various sections of the video. 1:25 - I find that a lot of people do this certain tactic a lot, but tend to accidentally walk in a linear fashion to their source of metal (dispenser or ammo packs) and usually spy check either right before or right after they reach the metal source. Then they almost always walk to the closest side of the sentry and rotate behind it. I think people just subconsciously like to be behind their sentry so recognizing this pattern has gotten me my fair share of engineer picks. They also tend to rotate the same direction until their wrench hits the gun, then they either chose to reverse directions or stay going the direction they already were. This is another pattern that has helped me pick paranoid engineers. 2:15 - This is just a little tip but people can stand on that lamp post behind you, and it's a very good CnD spot, just check that before standing there or you might get ambushed. 2:42 - It is a very good idea not to backpedal versus a spy but not for the reason you said. In a situation where a spy is coming up behind you while you are engaged in a firefight with other players, you are most likely going to die weather you back pedal or stay in the same general spot while strafing. The reason back pedaling is bad is because you move at a slow speed and your back hitbox is wack. This makes it much easier for spies too get those wacky trickstabs where he was visible on your screen to the side of you but he still got the stab. Now I still recommend turning around and running away from firefights so you can't get stabbed then, but usually the most immediate threat is the person your fighting, so I still would say to only turn around after you kill them or if they duck behind cover for a moment then you can check your back really quick before engaging again. 5:11 - Another HUGE tipoff is when a friendly is looking right at you for an excessive amount of time. This can even be as short as 1-2 seconds, but that is a long time in a game like TF2. Teammates tend to keep their back too allies because they have nothing to fear from them, while spies tend to look right at enemies because they know that they can take damage from all of them. If you ever see someone starring you down, it's always worth a spy check. 10:30 - A general tip for fight DR spies is to glance at the top of your screen where it shows who is dead and who is not. When you "kill" a DR spy and he feigns away, his icon will not appear grayed out. If he actually dies then he will become grayed out. 11:35 - Your KS will increase. There are more things I could have added, (espicially in the "Finding the Spies" and the Hunting the Spies" categories) but I decided against it since it mainly only applies to competitive or spies that play competitive since they tend to do more big brain plays. I figured that because this video is based more on casual play I wouldn't include those tips. ~Also it would take a long time and I'm kinda lazy~ Hope this helped expand on what was already said in this already well informed video.

8:03 look at that epic trickstab.

Another tip for duelling the DR : Wear some pyroland item. For some reason "killing" a DR Spy will almost always trigger his long laugh (the one from the Schaden taunt). And that laugh is almost as long as the DR's cloak time and will follow the Spy. So follow the laugh yourself.

I think another reason for the backpedalling thing is that it makes you slower, allowing a spy to move behind your back for a stab.

13:31 «Not our finest moment.” *а few seconds later dies to a ambi/spicycle mannco spy*

Me, a pyro main: I saw a single pixel of the enemy color. Now I must spycheck the entire map

Last tip "just go pyro" Me who shutdown 3 crit pyro by trickstabbing: interesting

great video toofters! I love your production skills and clips you use. Also, you are a pipe god. I commend you. Some of those pipe hits blew my mind. something else I may add when you're spy checking: if you see a spy on your team, and he's not wearing a disguise mask, and you can see all his cosmetics, you can disregard him. he's truly on your team. If a spy is disguised as a spy, he will always be wearing a disguise mask. It took me a super long time before i realized that, and it's kind of a good thing because that makes him the one class that you don't actually need to try and run through, or set on fire, to spy check (other than teammates that are clearly firing their gun) Tips for spies: you can really only do 3 things while disguised: change weapons, reload weapons, and use voice lines. If you do all three of these things a lot, it makes it a hell of a lot more convincing. I've been disguised as a heavy before, an enemy medic came up to me and started healing me and then immediately pulled out his ubersaw to spy check me. I did the spy call X+2 and that reverse psychology immediately made him stop spy checking me and instead, started swinging the saw into corners and shit. And then yes, I did backstab him. I felt like I was playing TF2 in 3019. anyway, again, great video dude! I love these. Also, hats off for making this more of a general video instead of specifically for demoman, even though I love your demoman vids. Keep it up!

I absolutely love this channel. Like seriously. I can't exaggerate how much.

2 tips not mentionned in your video against DR Spies: -Look the skull on the scoreboard when you "kill" a spy, if the skull disapears near the name of the spy you just "killed" really quick, this spy is still alive. -If you take the ammo pack dropped by the spy, and it doesn't give you ammo, this spy is still alive.

I read on the wiki that using the "battle cry" voice command with a certain weapon equipped (idk which but melee seems to work with all classes) your character will say one of a few special voice lines instead of the usual ones even against disguised spies You have to be looking directly at an enemy for it to work

Another very easy way of telling a Dead Ringer apart from a real kill is to walk over the ammo pack they drop upon death. A Dead Ringer pack won't actually give you ammo or play the sound of picking it up. It'll simply disappear when you walk over it and since you probably spent ammo on killing the spy, it'll be easy to tell if you got more when grabbing the pack.

“Just go pyro” **laughs in spycicle**

That last clip with the mann co store hat spy... not our finest moment

i really like your sticky launcher. looks sick!

13:31 "not our finest moment"

As a pyro main, rule #1 against spies, never ever let them into melee range, especially with knives like the kunai that just let them facetank damage. Experienced spies will usually go for trickstabs or facestabs when caught out because of how the backstab mechanic works with hitboxes and lag where they get you to face one way by strafing left (or around corners), then they quickly go the other way before your client catches up, and you're facestabbed.

Tip for "RIc TSebs": don't walk into the spy and walk back. With spys who walk around a corner to corner stab. Take a wide straife this also helps with fighting pyro. Trick stabs are obvious if you know how they work and airblast denys any trickstabs and some spys will get very tilted if you airblast them too much.

0:26 he really said 🌠

0:06 That's actually called a butterknifer or a SHPEE. Facestabbers are actually the Spy mains that know how to abuse lag, and will use settings to give them high ping and/or interp.

quick tip on how to catch a dead ringer spy. quickly look at the tab of the dead players the enemy team has in the if a dead spy icon appears the moment you kill an enemy spy, you can usually confirm that they used stock invis watch or the cloak and dagger. if a dead spy icon does not appear the moment you kill an spy, they are using the dead ringer

i love this spy that kept you at gunpoint of crit diamondback just so you would dance with him

Another good thing if you're not quite sure is to check the scoreboard with tab, their name won't be greyed out if they faked it. has saved me more than once

7:10 who knew spy could cartwheel?

obviously this is 2 years too late, but another tip that wasnt mentioned for Dead Ringer spies is to actually check the other teams member list thing at the top of the hud; there wont be a grayed out Spy with the respawn icon to suggest one had died, this is what i do whenever i kill any spy and it works pretty well on its own even

I haven’t checked the link yet, but one really good dead ringer check is the top of the hud. Fake deaths from the dead ringer don’t show up in the top of the hud where it shows your team and the dead enemies.
