@@sci_pain3409 lmfao yeah, just stop moving forward when on any corner or any kind of elevation they got over you and that's it. They're the most predictable main class.
Found out that the best way to get good is to just keep playing, its like hours in TF2 have some sort of magic that the more hours you get the better you do
Trickstabs are cool and all but i prefer the classic "actually using the normal cloak to get behind the enemy instead of using the deadringer and a get out of jail card like a normal spy"
@@korhol2065 disguises usually work when you are doing the tasks that class you are disguising as would do. If you are sniper, just stand in a good sightline and you may fool someone into thinking it's safe. If you are engi, stay in a sentry nest or neat a dispenser and you may get a cheeky kill
Deadass, despite the satire, that 5 hour trickstab series shown in this video by CulRulDud is actually the best on UA-cam, would recommend, it's worth the watch.
Yes but only do it if you are already good with the basics and want to become a "theory spy", and you have to watch them like 3 times to really understand
@@stratacat totally agree. I had to watch each of them multiple times and play a lot between each time I watched before they really sunk in. I'd say it took a good 80 hours or so (up to 220 hours on spy) for it to finally 'click' for me and I started to get them frequently
I remember at one point i found a spy main while playing pyro. Chased him to a slope, i knew what he was doing but i just played along. Holy shit was it hilarious watching him trying to stair stab me but i always either walk back or air blast him.
@@rokesnow97 I think its just a running joke cuz he's actually pretty good. I heard he edits his videos to show only the cool stuff and not the fails. He's definitely above average but not as good as the other youtubers
No idea how I learned trickstabs. I guess I just kept trying it until it started working, then the motions became part of my muscle memory and now I can perform more complex trickstabs with little thinking. Wow, it's as if learning trickstabs is the same as learning anything else in this game!
honestly, the biggest problem wiht trickstabs is that so many people know about them that you can't trick them anymore. the skill floor for this kind of stuff is much higher than it used to be
As a spy main, my best advice is to not worry about trickstabs. Get better at cloaking, not bumping people, throwing people off your trail, managing your cloak meter, and most importantly paying attention to what's going on around you. Spy is not called called "sneaky scout" for a reason. You're supposed to use your cloak to spy on the enemy and then you can make decisions based on the information you gather. (I.e. A heavy is pushing towards my team and would make a great target, but there's a skilled enemy sniper that might shoot me if I were to try, so I should just go take out the sniper first or find something else to do instead of decloaking and dying instantly.)
culrulduds circlestrafing tutorials are cool to watch if you have the time since its very thorough but shows the most consistent counters if pulled off correctly and explains why it works as well as what to do
I hope nobody fails to realize that GamerGod69 advising the player not to watch Mr. Paladin’s trickstab tutorial means that is precisely the one they SHOULD watch if they ACTUALLY want to learn
@@jargozle5393 People equate a calm video made by a 40 year old man about how he does a few stabs in his casual pub games so that a new player can maybe kill a gibus pyro chasing them and consider it heresy because it isn't calling new players bad or attempting to teach them how to be as good as a Platinum spy main at the very least when that wasn't the goal of the video. To anybody who still gives that video flack, most people just need enough advice to make it by on a garbage upward pub where half the players are trying to fish kill people. Like you are free to say that his video isn't the end all be all or even close, but to say it is bad because it doesn't go beyond like... what you learn after a 100 hours or so on spy doesn't make it a huge fucking deal.
Funnily enough, I watched all of Cul Dul Dud’s videos and it kind of helped! I can sometimes do trickstabs. His whole circle strafe shenanigans sometimes work, but only on some players. That’s basically spy for me. It sometimes does something that works
"but only on some players" = I can't deal with certain movement levels. Honestly his model is all encompassing if you include 4.1,2,3,4 because those are just extra tips, for the most part all you want to do is learn when to go forwards and backwards, when to go glue, and when to stick to A/D keys
I doubt you fully understand them, please don't watch them untill you are already really good at spy And they aren't trickstabs per se but ways to abuse the enemies movement
Oh, the fucking one-hour part 1/5 circle strafing video. I saw that and was like "Fuck you mean one hour?! I'm not gonna watch an hour long video on how to walk in a fucking circle, let alone the other four parts to the series!"
wasn't modded lol, he turned up his sens and flicked really fast at the right time so that the models didn't update before i predicted when he was gonna turn serverside
Yeah he does a lot of reiterations but at the same time if you just wanted to learn the basics of the circle strafes you probably shouldn’t have clicked on the hour long video. This isn’t to say his video isn’t long because there are a fuck ton of parts but rather to say that this is one of the more complicated stabs and can’t explained with just “jump over them”
@@scootmainshortstop8095 true true circlestrafe isn't as easy as strafe one way as he said cuz there's more to it but cmon 1 hour for 1 type of 1 TYPE of trickstab for 1 out of 5 VIDEOS is a bit crazy
@@CallMeZelesi if you were watching his videos before he uploaded the the 5 hour series, you would know that it took a long time to make and people were anticipating a circle strafe tutorial from him for a couple years so getting a 5 hour series was amazing and worth the wait; the series showed all the problems he faced while figuring out the stab and how he got around them. if you want a simplified version of the circle strafe stab, here you go: ua-cam.com/video/IJrRhui5eBE/v-deo.html
@@Thenormalguy101 Oh I watched the whole series like 3 times and planning to watch it again because well I get most of it but not all, espacially the inside circlestrafe??? also i already watched ezra like 5 times and in the level 1 tutorial he didnt explain the inside circle which is fine because he will explain it eventually as he said in the spynalysis
Shhhhh, forget about the trickstabs, no more bullshit, no more trickery now.... Wake up. Understand the movement, the strafes, the adjustments.... Wake up.... Study the craft, learn the stabs and the levels, observe them as they chain together and flow when weapons are swapped. Look around you.

But after understanding the flow of energy and matter, the psychology of the strafes, the philosophy of the knife, you have a new weapon, one to rule them all. The circle strafe stab.
I remember watching these years ago and all I would ask myself is, “That’s great and all, but how do I actually do it?” I knew that I had to press the keys, but now I have come to realise that even though I can maybe pull one or two off a game it is just much better to play spy... normally.
How to do a trickstab 1-being smart 2-identify distracted or new players 3-do not force a stair stab 4-confuse your victim 5-know hitboxes 5.5-use your fucking revolver 6-do not depend of trickstabs for being efective, just look for the best oportunity to do it, sometimes it would save your life more quickly than revolver.
@@nhpkm1 Bruh, I'm a spy main, but not a edgy weeb, that keeps being just a dick with other people after getting a good play :/ The spy main image was corrupted along the time :(
This next one is called the headstab. Run up to them using W, jump using Space, and then, if you're lucky, you jump on the enemy's head! Now, hold W, and then backstab!
I think the joke was that MrPaladin actually teaches you shit and the guy wanted him to watch his video only… for why people actually don’t like MrPaladin, idk. Some people say he’s bad but I have no idea what makes him bad, especially since the standards are so different when he plays exclusively casual
Tbh idk either, I find that spy mains dislike him the most cause he's not good as swipez or stabby stabby , but he's not trying to be at that lvl , his character is likeable even though he is not a spy beast
Indeed. The easiest spy players to kill are those who try going for stairstabs, corner stabs, and sometimes matador ones. It can be all shut down by just standing still and watching them dance. However, some of the hardest spy players to kill (besides interp abusers) are ones who not only know game sense and how to properly act, but those who know how to circle strafe, and strafestabs are infinitely harder to counter than a simple stairstab could ever hope to be.
@@yo_tengo_una_boca6764 honestly so are just jumpstabs, a good spy knows when to matador (almost never), when to circle strafe (almost always) and when to do cheeky jumpstabs (whenever you have a tiny bit of elevation)
I have watched the circle stab ones once over, all I got from them was strafe in one direction if the enemy is strafing towards you and make the circle as wide as possible, if the enemy hits S it almost all over, also reflex or something makes their back more visible.

the way you do it, you have to have enough hours on spy then the full backstab hit box will be unlocked
"To trickstab someone, just trickstab them"
"Ok, but how do I trickstab them?"
"......by trickstabbing them"
"YES, BUT HOW DO I DO THAT?"
I remember watching these years ago and all I would ask myself is, “That’s great and all, but how do I actually do it?”
I knew that I had to press the keys, but now I have come to realise that even though I can maybe pull one or two off a game it is just much better to play spy... normally.
i love this mcyum style video its so hilarious
What are you supposed to do?
Wait for valve to fix melee hit registration.
*snickers* like that'll ever happen though.
The only thing I like about the video is that he used the TF2 communications to make it look like a SFM video.
Crouch on shift
Step one: Trying to Stab
Step two: if don't work, SPY HAS A GUN

How to do a trickstab
1-being smart
2-identify distracted or new players
3-do not force a stair stab
4-confuse your victim
5-know hitboxes
5.5-use your fucking revolver
6-do not depend of trickstabs for being efective, just look for the best oportunity to do it, sometimes it would save your life more quickly than revolver.
Why do people bully mrpaladin so much? He is such a nice dude!
He is nice , that is problem. A real spy main has no social skill
@@nhpkm1 Bruh, I'm a spy main, but not a edgy weeb, that keeps being just a dick with other people after getting a good play :/
The spy main image was corrupted along the time :(
His videos are kind of boring
Spy mains call him a bad Spy to compensate for the fact that he has a wife and kids despite (previously) maining Spy but they don’t
@@quitequeerquesadilla lol
This next one is called the headstab. Run up to them using W, jump using Space, and then, if you're lucky, you jump on the enemy's head! Now, hold W, and then backstab!

Ah yes, the ol’ Interp trick
"You don't need to know how to trickstab to be a good spy."
-a certain spy main
Why do people not like Mr Paladin?
I think the joke was that MrPaladin actually teaches you shit and the guy wanted him to watch his video only… for why people actually don’t like MrPaladin, idk. Some people say he’s bad but I have no idea what makes him bad, especially since the standards are so different when he plays exclusively casual
Tbh idk either, I find that spy mains dislike him the most cause he's not good as swipez or stabby stabby , but he's not trying to be at that lvl , his character is likeable even though he is not a spy beast
He plays spy as you're supposed to play him. He doesn't jump and run and spin and kill the entire enemy team in 30 seconds
because mr paladin is more focused towards spy tutorials rather than "le epic matador 360 v2 backjump trickstab" frag montages
A good spy rarely goes for trickstabs. Though it is a good trick under your belt to get out of dicy situations or if you are totally going to die.
Indeed. The easiest spy players to kill are those who try going for stairstabs, corner stabs, and sometimes matador ones. It can be all shut down by just standing still and watching them dance.
However, some of the hardest spy players to kill (besides interp abusers) are ones who not only know game sense and how to properly act, but those who know how to circle strafe, and strafestabs are infinitely harder to counter than a simple stairstab could ever hope to be.
@@yo_tengo_una_boca6764 honestly so are just jumpstabs, a good spy knows when to matador (almost never), when to circle strafe (almost always) and when to do cheeky jumpstabs (whenever you have a tiny bit of elevation)
"dont click on mr paladin"

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time, it's tricky.
On the matador map was actually an farm map I have saved, it’s awesome and not just that place but npcs move (duh) so you can practice
the McYum of TF2 - amazing!
“Trickstabbing has no skill” they said
“Trickstabbing is easy” they said
I have watched the circle stab ones once over, all I got from them was strafe in one direction if the enemy is strafing towards you and make the circle as wide as possible, if the enemy hits S it almost all over, also reflex or something makes their back more visible.
