I loooooove when you do videos like this! You're really entertaining to watch, and to hear you explain what you're doing and why you're doing it is even better! Keep it up! You're great!
would you suggest using the big earner at all? it seems like a great compliment to the dead ringer allowing for more frequent feigns at a small penalty of slightly less agressive gameplay, which isnt a big deal since the dead ringer already allows the spy to play super aggressively.
Really great video, in case you don't know when he is playing on pubs and when he is playing scrims/matches: He only uses his professional killstreak weps on pubs, and his golden botkiller knife during scrims/matches. As for his stats, he has 66k on his ambassador and 22k headshotkills, i am not sure how much on his knife, but i think it is around 50k our 70k.
I come back to TF2 after not playing for a couple o' months. I see this video after not watching stabby for a long time. "Thanks guys, I missed you." OH. STABBY KNEW.
im a medic main, and obviously the first is airblast. im not sure how this adds unexpected techniques, you stand behind someone and click on their back.
Except when you do a stair stab, or a side stab, or an understab... It only works if your opponent does what you predict. True, you can get lucky, but for the most part, if you whiff, you die. This mechanic is similar to headshotting in CSGO. If you prefire/predict movement well, you get an easy kill. If not, you could die very easily.
Dailan Mistwalker Depending on ping, the only way to not get backstabed by a good spy is to treat their melee as 100% 1 hit kill and never enter melee range. If their ping is different enough they can do what looks like a facestab on your screen
It's called muscle memory, and when you change your sensitivy or in your case,- mouse, you need to relearn it, it's not too difficult it just takes getting used to, change your sensitivy around untill you it feels good for you, and then play the game, if you can't headshot, change to the revolver, go for body shots, they are just as much important. download tr_aim_training[google], and use the muscle memory room, google Counter strike muscle memory practice and do as they do in that room, if you do it everyday you will really notice a difference! Honestly if you wouldnt get as good as you were within a few days, sometimes even hours, then you probably stopped practicing for a long time and that has nothing to do with your mouse, it's just your brain forgot how to move the mouse in the correct way.
From this moment forward Badwater will now be plagued with Fail Spies trying that one way door trick. Damn, now everyone will know to expect it, and it looked like fun too!
JCthe Spy Many spies? Not like this. This is just being bold to see how far you can take it. But now the usual flash flood of newly inspired spies will be trying to get flashy and instead of just hiding by the side out of FOV or on the door ledge, they will try the quick step around. And they will fail. A lot. Trick stab attempts always go up when Stabby releases a video. Most times, it's better to just get the job over with simply instead of using a "trick stab" at every turn. It gets obvious unless you get creative like Stabby. Add on the fact for the next week most public games will have 4 spies instead of 4 snipers, means while this video is a great treat, I'm not playing Spy for a week or more unless I'm very lucky to get a Spy-less team where having a Spy is an advantage. Still, should be fun to see what happens ingame.
At 2:12 , how do you have the time to take all of those shots? Whenever I am behind their line, ambying away, it doesn't take long for them to begin pursuing me. Great vid though!
I'd love to try and use the Ambassador, but every time I shoot the automatic reloading completely covers the screen so I can only shoot every 2-3 seconds
the only problem I have with using my revolver is that I turn off the FOV for the revolver, and I always forget if I dead ringed or went invisible and end up doing stupid things like unlcloaking in front of people when I meant to DR or something.
0:30 - I dont know man, in your other video you said "Multiple enemies with full health, trickstab is my only option". But in this video your only option is 2 headshots.
Hey stabby can you make a playlist of the music you use for your videos cause I really like the relaxing type of music it is by I don't seem to find music like this
So you don't use your config with videos but you do with livestreams? I get why but changing it just for 1 video when you live stream 3-4 times a week sometime more
He still uses his config, I believe. His videos are recorded from demos, though, and not directly from the gameplay, which is why the viewmodels are normal sized. As you can see, the hide viewmodels on shoot is still there.
When using your Amby, are you setting your fov on/off from 70 to 95? Are you also turning your viewmodel on and off? Are you using binds or scripts? I've always been wondering this because it looks really helpful :0
-Where does "below 2.7128" come from?- Wouldn't DPI settings help in the description? EDIT: I just realized 2.7128 is e. Seems kinda arbitrary, using mathematical constants as sensitivity settings
Stabby can you help me? I have been practicing doing a stairstab on TR_Walkway for MONTHS. But when it comes to a real game, I just can't do it. Can anyone give me some tips or help me? And don't give me some shit like "You don't need trickstabs to be a spy"
How do I install the script Now? I tried it last time but just changed my comp and had totally forgotten how to do it and since steam Updated its even harder. Any ideas how to install the many script? :(
Can anyone help me fix my amby scripts? Im trying to put in the viewmodel script where the ambassador dissapears after firing a shot, then comes back when I switch weapons or cloak. Ive tried everywhere (including Stabby's steam forum and others) but none work. Some do the opposite, some only allow me to equip a gun and a knife. Could anyone help me out, I think that the tf2 update may have stuffed it up of something.

![a dash of prolander, and the traditions of old [TF2 Voice Commentary]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jSHeijJu5KQ/mqdefault.jpg)
0:31 "2 headshot is the only way out"
He says it as though it's easy.
I'm glad Stabby is still making videos. I never have time to watch his streams, so it's nice to see another commentary go up.
I'm the Heavy at the end of the video!
Nice vid stabby! Im glad your still making vids to help out the spy community, shows how useful the ambassador can be
Stabby, your voice is so soothing.
Man, I love your videos stabby, Its nice to listen to someone who is so chill about games once and awhile. Your voice is really calming
Omg a video from Stabby? I was certain that he had died or something terrible had happened to him! Anyways I love your vids :D
look at his twitch, he is active a lot there.
he streames like 5 days a week for the last 4 years or something
Your profile picture makes perfect sense.
certain he died well he streams all through the week #Weakfan
He didn't die. He just feigned.
:P
Great video on the fundamentals of the dead ringer. Thank you for your uploads, always informative and relaxing to watch. :)
Something about Stabby's voice, combined with the chill music, always makes me think I can do what he does.
Then I ragequit and spam pipes instead :(
I missed that chilled-back Stabby commentary. Good to hear it again.
5:42 this demo was probably raging so hard after the 3rd time in a row lmao
Absolutely brutal play...stabby's amby has always been as devastating as his knife and never ceases to amaze me.
Nice tips on how to make the opponent believe you are on their team. Nice video, love to see that youre still around.
I loooooove when you do videos like this! You're really entertaining to watch, and to hear you explain what you're doing and why you're doing it is even better! Keep it up! You're great!
this really makes me comeback and play more TF2 ! will for sure do
I love your voice. It's very calming and you explain things well.
would you suggest using the big earner at all?
it seems like a great compliment to the dead ringer allowing for more frequent feigns at a small penalty of slightly less agressive gameplay, which isnt a big deal since the dead ringer already allows the spy to play super aggressively.
DUDE, love how u educate us on how u play, and what to do in certin suitations, LOVE watching your vids dude :)
I can't still believe how good you are stabby I love you so much bro
This guy is the Bob Ross of tf2
Nice to see you back with the vids stabby
We missed you too. Thanks for another great video
Awesome video as always. Never cease to amaze me.
Godlike. And an undiluted pleasure to watch, as always.
Really great video, in case you don't know when he is playing on pubs and when he is playing scrims/matches: He only uses his professional killstreak weps on pubs, and his golden botkiller knife during scrims/matches. As for his stats, he has 66k on his ambassador and 22k headshotkills, i am not sure how much on his knife, but i think it is around 50k our 70k.
Stabby's videos are always so relaxing
Stabby i missed you. gr8 vid, been a long time since iv seen your vid in my sublist :D
Missed you stabby nice to see an upload
I come back to TF2 after not playing for a couple o' months.
I see this video after not watching stabby for a long time.
"Thanks guys, I missed you."
OH.
STABBY KNEW.
sleepy stabby is sleepy
2:03 don't give up, you have the 2nd most broken and stupid mechanic in the game on your side, don't worry.
***** Smells heavily like salt.
Found the pyro main.
im a medic main, and obviously the first is airblast. im not sure how this adds unexpected techniques, you stand behind someone and click on their back.
Except when you do a stair stab, or a side stab, or an understab...

Watching these again make me wish I still had my old mouse, ever since it broke I was never able to get amby headshots like I used to.
It's called muscle memory, and when you change your sensitivy or in your case,- mouse, you need to relearn it, it's not too difficult it just takes getting used to, change your sensitivy around untill you it feels good for you, and then play the game, if you can't headshot, change to the revolver, go for body shots, they are just as much important.

I used the same mouse for 3 years, brah, relearning something like that is time I do not have.
From this moment forward Badwater will now be plagued with Fail Spies trying that one way door trick. Damn, now everyone will know to expect it, and it looked like fun too!
It's nothing new, many spies use it. Also, if you hold w on that door and someone comes through you can get a shortcut to RED spawn :)
JCthe Spy Many spies? Not like this. This is just being bold to see how far you can take it. But now the usual flash flood of newly inspired spies will be trying to get flashy and instead of just hiding by the side out of FOV or on the door ledge, they will try the quick step around.

Best spy on tf2, period. Man bro I want to play like you!!
I don't even play TF2 anymore, I just come here to relax.
You don't play TF2 anymore? How's that possible?
Yay, Stabby still makes videos!
That first clip was so smooth. Damn.
Missed you, Stabby.
You haven't uploaded in a while stabby. :P And each time you come back, you just keep getting better. Keep up the good work.
The prodigal son returns!
I always giggle when I see Stabby camp-stabbing ppl!
At 2:12 , how do you have the time to take all of those shots? Whenever I am behind their line, ambying away, it doesn't take long for them to begin pursuing me.
Great vid though!
we missed you too stabby
yey new vid on youtube. i do also watch your streams but i like to watch the compilations of highlights
nice vid stabby ! hope to see more
missed you too Stabby
At 5:39 it says the sniper has a golden frying pan.
Missed you too stabs
It's always fun to play with you stabby, even though you had it out for me that one time lol.
Missed you, had to resort to searching up other spies on UA-cam for more videos. Will try to watch your stream more.
To see is one thing, to implement it is another.
Stabby we missed you too. Don't ever leave us for that long again! >:c
Such a chilled video
Nice to see this vid again
I'd love to try and use the Ambassador, but every time I shoot the automatic reloading completely covers the screen so I can only shoot every 2-3 seconds
the only problem I have with using my revolver is that I turn off the FOV for the revolver, and I always forget if I dead ringed or went invisible and end up doing stupid things like unlcloaking in front of people when I meant to DR or something.
Have you ever tried other class? :P
Yes, just not in videos.
He is one terrible heavy though X3
he played a season of open scout a while back
He sometimes uses other classes on his streams, mainly phlog pyro or a sniper. But he's always a spy regadless
onemorecowswag he also lost to method 20-0 in MGE. 20-0. METHOD. and that's not even the best part. method didn't even move. did. not. move. ROFL
He plays other classes on his livestream
Missed you too stabby
You stream all the time, but I still explode a little when I see an upload from you ^.^
I missed you too, Stabby. :3
I woke up at 3 am... First time I ever did that.. I think it was cause you uploaded a video...
Saw steam group update instantly quit what I was doing.
Still doing great Stabby! :)
Danila Kurganov Because of how v-sync works, it causes a little display latency.
0:30 - I dont know man, in your other video you said "Multiple enemies with full health, trickstab is my only option". But in this video your only option is 2 headshots.
from 1 to 4, I love you 5 ever stabby
Great to see a UA-cam video from ya Stabby! For those of you who can't get enough of him, like me, go check out his twitch!
New Stabby video!
It's been a while! Yay!
This video will be charished forever
Love and miss you'r videos.
Great video stabby :D
I missed you too stabby
Good videos as always, you're very interesting and your voice suits a youtuber, hope to see more videos.
YOU'RE NOT DEAD! :D
You know you're fucked when the spy gets a headshot on you before you do on him
could you make a video with trickstabs using show keys as to make it more clear exactly what you're doing when you perform them
thought it was a pub until you said it was highlander
players back then were a little different
Hey stabby can you make a playlist of the music you use for your videos cause I really like the relaxing type of music it is by I don't seem to find music like this
You used the amazing acting clip on gully! :D
We... we missed you, too. :B
Dude, he was playing on Borneo before Gun Mettle.
***** No, only last year. I think u mean the workshop version?
+Fish Ball It's old competitive map...
+Fish Ball the map has been used in comp long before gun mettle, which is why many people became happy when it got officially added into the game
So you don't use your config with videos but you do with livestreams? I get why but changing it just for 1 video when you live stream 3-4 times a week sometime more
He still uses his config, I believe. His videos are recorded from demos, though, and not directly from the gameplay, which is why the viewmodels are normal sized. As you can see, the hide viewmodels on shoot is still there.
He plays with the config, then puts on Chris's max quality config so his demos will look better.
RIP Stabby.
When using your Amby, are you setting your fov on/off from 70 to 95? Are you also turning your viewmodel on and off? Are you using binds or scripts? I've always been wondering this because it looks really helpful :0
-Where does "below 2.7128" come from?- Wouldn't DPI settings help in the description?
EDIT: I just realized 2.7128 is e. Seems kinda arbitrary, using mathematical constants as sensitivity settings
I'm still confused as to how Stabby knew that pyro from the other team stands in that spot with the shotgun out.
Guys watch him on twitch! Check the description!
Though I haven't watched all of your videos, I was wondering if you could do a film on starting off in a game please. -Kolarite
How can I get the crosshair to change colors when it matches with the head (using ambassador)?
Does anyone know where I can get something to make my cross hairs light up when over heads also? A link would be very appreciated.
Would anyone be able to tell me ow you get the reticule to change colours based on whether or not it's on someone?
Can anyone help me with, how to get a color-changing crosshair like stabby has?
Stabby can you help me? I have been practicing doing a stairstab on TR_Walkway for MONTHS. But when it comes to a real game, I just can't do it. Can anyone give me some tips or help me?
And don't give me some shit like "You don't need trickstabs to be a spy"
Don't rely on trickstabs...
Omfg. How many comments will I get just like this one.
Adrian Leibich I don't think he is relying on them I think it's a situation where a trickstab is an option and he can't land it.
Yea thanks for understanding
Spike Jr No problem :D
How do I install the script
Now? I tried it last time but just changed my comp and had totally forgotten how to do it and since steam
Updated its even harder. Any ideas how to install the many script? :(
So what are you actually checking for with that graph? What does it monitor and how does it help/hurt you?
Can anyone help me fix my amby scripts? Im trying to put in the viewmodel script where the ambassador dissapears after firing a shot, then comes back when I switch weapons or cloak. Ive tried everywhere (including Stabby's steam forum and others) but none work. Some do the opposite, some only allow me to equip a gun and a knife. Could anyone help me out, I think that the tf2 update may have stuffed it up of something.
HES ALIVE
How does he get that crosshairs that changes when it's on a enemy???
Where do I even access mouse smoothing?? (Looked in settings already) ??
