Trickstab Tutorial: The Matador (and Cornerstab)
Ойындар
G'day all MrPaladin here.
My most reliable trickstab is the matador or the corner stab. As a spy you are often chased by enemies who have spotted you but they are either in melee or on a weapon that is for close range and they chase you down.
Because of this you can use your motion or your environment to pull off a Matador or a Cornerstab.
1: Enemy is chasing you, melee preferred.
2: Stop your forward or backward motion use only strafe.
3: Juke one way quickly then back the other. Juking to your right then back to your left is preferred due to a favorable hitbox on that side of the enemy.
4: depending on your lag you might have to stab before you see their back or see your knife raised. Trust that their back will be there when the server does the hit calculations.
5: Walk away like a boss!

I started playing TF2 2 years ago. Before I knew how sapper works, I thought the sapper is used to disguise as a sentry

Nathan lol i trickstabbed a pyro that was using a CRITTED PHLOG with my spycicle with 2hp i managed to matador the pyro with 1hp remaining but then i fell off a ledge and my ringer wasnt ready so i knew i was gone, then suddenly, a F2P medic with a stardust crusader random critted me bringing me back to full hp whilst landing on a large ammo pack and getting a kill on a fully charged red medic and a mvp heavy. Thank you medic.

Well yeah it makes sense that it would melt otherwise it would be overpowered. That would be like a Razorback that never broke, or a phlog that could airblast.
I don’t know if you will see this because it’s an old video, but I just want to say thank you for teaching me and other spies these amazing methods. I just wish I could pull them off like you...

Good examples there, Mr.P. I've gotten more used to a different type of matador, one that involves walking towards the enemy, while you're trying to strafe around him to your left. When you get near melee reach, you strafe right for a split second and strafe to the left again. This often leaves the enemy overreacting to your juke and opens them up for the stab.

ald- much like a failed cornerstab, if you go too early on the cornerstab you can always turn it back the other way into a matrador.

Tips for avoiding these vs a Spy: - Don't use melee - Don't follow a spy, he's baiting you - Keep your distance if he has his knife out, but get closer if he has the Amby out.

Pure strafing without w and s buttons is by far the best advice. Already got so many trickstabs thanks to that. I always accidentally used w and s with strafing buttons but when I stopped it all got so much better

You know I often play Pyro as my main, but recently I've been playing as Spy and I've attempted to keep your lessons and advice in mind and I have to say, it has certainly helped. I mean, I'm a pretty bad Spy compared to most, but I have managed to pull off a few trickstabs. Needless to say, thank you for all this advice Mr P :)

Problem with turbine as Spy is the scarce ammount of ammo boxes. There are only two and in the bases, not even the middle where most of the action takes place. The only watch I see favorable is the Cloak n' Dagger which helps you to sneak undetected until their spawn and from there start stabbing people. Dead ringer is effective only if there are no snipers at the back of the flag entrance (theres too much to walk if hit at the middle).
Hey MrPaladin, love your videos! Been getting so much better at spy ever since I started to watch them. ;D

you've missed a video lol -> kzread.info/dash/bejne/apucj6iNgayuldo.html
By now I've only once performed a successful corner stab. It happened on 2fort, I was badly blooded by enemy spy and scout, and I was escaping into the corridor from under our right spawn. I knew that scout will probably follow me though and I had no chance to survive by keeping running, so I decided to turn around and fight. And it just happened to happen as I predicted: scout chased me taking corner short, and I managed to corner stab him. I was immediately gunned down by a spy, but this was definitely a moment to remember.

this actually works amazingly with the backburner
The spy is perhaps the only character in video game industry where player require to use awareness and study more than any game
Yesterday I have done my first corner stab. I mean a calculated one, not a lucky one. Thank you very much for your videos
Very nice tutorial! It helped me alot! Thanks! You are the best!
ffs you are the most badass trickstabbing I've ever seen :))) if you make a video for your movement keys while doing that would be awesome!
These are my favorite types of videos.
Thanks Mr.P with this knowledge I got my first matador this morning.
always wanted to know how to matador thanks Mr. Paladin!
Mr. Paladin you are a great spy and are very smart. I don't know if I learned trickstabs from you or on my own but I've gotta 2 Matadors and 2 cornerstabs in my first 2 weeks since I downloaded the game. I have trickstabbed more experienced players surprisingly. I would love it if you replied to this, also my funniest moment so far is when I got stuck in a vent with a pyro on turbine and I had spycicle so I thought I was screwed but then I went for it anyways and just got a random face stab. One last thing... Thank you :)
very interesting and beautiful corner stabs

Thanks! i always did this stab, but without the change direction thing, thanks!!!
This was super helpful! Thanks!
I love this tutorial! Also, I always used to call matadors as the 'invisible cornerstab' because I sorta create a corner when i perform a matador
You are amazing! I can't get it to work as smooth as you do it :) I have to practice more I guess ;)

Corner stab and matador stabs! My favorites
As a medic main, whenever someone matadors me I cry.
I love how you put oper music at the outro and i think you know why
You make it look so easy! And every time I play to practice my behaviour as spy and trickstabs I fail my trickstabs.
Its so satisfying to get a blind stairstab. Its so funny when you get a cornerstab. ITS SO AWESOME WHEN YOU GET A MATADOR!
I was waiting for new tricks stap tutorial.. :0 finally..... :)
This actually helped me to escape more often as a medic without healing target
This is very helpful thank you!!
I got my first trickstab because of you :)
Day 4 I am learning more on how to be a good spy. I have not been able to pull a trickstab but the time will come. I must go back to learning.
MrPaladin you are the best you help me out as a spy in tf2 a lot thanks ✔
YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY
thank you for this video i get like 25 corner stabs 20trick stabs every time i play thanks for this video also some people at server ask how i do it i say watch MrPaladin and learn :)
Funny thing is, with the exception of the Dead Ringer, your outro card has nearly my entire Spy loadout (Ambassador, Black Rose, Cloak and Dagger, standard Sapper).
love your outro.
You're a spy God! If I run into you I'd run away.
Thank you, this was very helpful. I get about 10 matadors/cornerstabs every 6-9 minutes!

Melon Man no
ohhh dude. I didn't know about server's hit calculation, when Im trying the matador I always wait til I see their back, so I fail, Thanks for explaining that.
What is really going to make your spying improve is knowing how the hitboxes and lag compensation work. But what's most important is MOVEMENT, sure trickstabs are something essental you must know. But once you've mastered the more basic corner, matador, stair stabs, and also the more advanced ones like reverse/blind variations, c2c, snap n' stab and circle strafe stab(and other ones) next thing to do is focus on movement. Or even before trying to learn any trickstab, focusing on movement is what will keep you alive most of the times, not only that, but in most situations you'll learn to reach an oponent's back without a trickstab, or escape really easily by making the enemy lose track of you. I really recommend watching Slurgi for movement and HU6A and CulRulDud for some less known trickstabs.
Mr.Paladin i was that soldier that said thanks to you ☺
Omg you are soo good😍
I got to get better at these techniques. I've learned to flow across the map and wait for opportunities similar to how you do in these videos, but I don't get near the same amount of kills. I find that where I stab one and get killed by someone else, you manage to trickstab the pursuer and get away. Hopefully getting better acquainted with trickstab techniques will allow me to get out of trouble more often.
you r a legend in spies
im already proud of myself if I get a trickstab.. for mr.p a trickstab is a everyday doing xD
to be honest I learned how to matador by watching your gameplay
man that looks tough
i needed this
"Spy's stab is the fastest thing registered on the server." *dies to the rocket jumping soldier when i clearly backstabbed the soldier first*
Thank you I can finally matador
