I find it funny how a spy can instantly replace your teammate that you already checked Just imagine how confused the demo is when a scout he saw double jumped suddenly morphed into a spy.

For spy being the most complex class, all the knives are easy to understand: stock, speedboost on hard mode, very hard mode, gunspy, and unexpected option but you have to use your brain. Spy's done in a way that you can be the best spy and still have something you can learn.

Even as a pyro main, the kunai is scary to me You never know when are you going to find a spy that literally refuses to die and either trickstab you or flee in his team's lines, making you die like an idiot if you don't pay attention to your surroundings

Your music choices had me screaming “stop being so based” hi Fi, ultrakill, pizza tower??? Insane

I really loved how someone called the YER once - "the Spy's hard mode". Also you forgot to mention that the Cloak and Dagger allows you to continue staying invisible after disguising with the YER and won't even make your silhouette flickering, making it very good choice to pair with the YER.

I love the whole actually smart spy thing, as it turns something from point and shoot to some of the most messed up paranoia tactics able to be done in a silly game. I love your videos because instead of teaching spies to be some sort of one man army you show the actual reality of the spy, to be more like an actual spy.

I think sn underrated aspect of the Big Earner, and why I think it's the most unique knife, is the fact that it's effects trigger on kill, not JUST a backstab, which gives you much more flexibility that one would think. Soundsmith gave a good synopsis of how the effect on kill can lead to a fairly unique alternate play style where you use the Ambassador to get targets you're fighting down to very low health and finish em with a butter knife to get the speed boost

I just wanna say that I LOVE the amount of work you put into your videos. You are one of my favorite tf2ubers. ❤

5:17 as a pyro main, to you spies, be wary if they have and use the power jack, because usually (coming from experience) they (mainly I) like to close the gap with the 15% speed boost, swapping on and off of the flamethrower every time we’re (I’m) close.

8:58 thank god someone finally talked about this workaround, I’ve seen so many people saying this knife sucks because of this feature but to me it’s a direct upgrade from stock if you want to go a more sneaky spy

But they kept on running away, making it impossible. But they never once used their gun. Eventually, I just took out my revolver to stop this endless chase, and THEN they started shooting at me.

You have legitimately amazing comedic timing. Laughed throughout the video. Top-notch editing as well. Well done, sir.

I wanted to get better at spy, and these videos have helped out so much! Just by following the tips and advice that you have given I have literally doubled my KDR, and it feels so great to actually get kills as the spy and not just die every five seconds, because I do not know what I am doing. Keep doing what you’re doing man, it’s great!

My only problem with spycicle is that after melting away it switches to your sapper instead of revolver, having you to spend that precious 1 second of fire immunity on switching to your gun

Extremely well done video, enjoyed it alot. Also your eternal reward is the main knife I use on spy, its just so fun killing the entire team without anyone noticing and sentries become useless unless you miss a stab.

Two side-effect penalties of Your Eternal Reward: - Speed Penalty - you have to pick your disguise at your spawn, which you don't have to with any other knife, and it's unlikely going to be Scout, Medic or Spy, meaning you walk from your spawn to the front line at the disguise's speed. - On-Spawn Wallhack makes the enemies know that there is a spy and the class he's disguised as. Both can be mitigated by using cloak and/or disguising near ammo packs, but it's harder and more situation dependent than just disguising at will near the front line.

Been trying to get back into my spy jam after the latest Summer update and your videos are helping a lot. AND are entertaining. Thanks and kudos for the amazing work!

9:16 Also an good tip is to use Your Eternal Reward with stock invis watch or cloak and dagger, not with Dead Ringer

Hey Jonto, could you please make a video explaining what to do after a stab? Since Spy is very weak, survivability is key to mastering the class. I see a lot of players getting a backstab, then dying, essentially rendering them useless for a few seconds; and what's worse is that those seconds of downtime could have been used to kill an important target to help their team. That's why I kindly ask for a video about survivability after a stab or survivability in general. It's also important to keep in mind that different weapons give the Spy different survival tactics, so if you do consider this idea a good one, this is an important topic to talk about. Thanks!

Goddamn this is a really great video, great job man!

i love the editing so cool keep up the good work
