LET'S GOOOO!!!

Nice work
It's so funny to use this in mvm. Sure, you've maxed out blast resistance, that just means they can punt you across the entirety of the map in less than a second
Pro: Damage surfing like a pro around Rottenburg, when you have to collect money on the front lines because your team all died
Con: Waiting to die on the roof of Big Rock because a mob of crit heavies spawned and instantly launched you into the ceiling.
As a overheated scout, getting sent flying without loosing much in return is so fun in mvm.
@@TeenWithACarrotIDK overheated?
Explaining how to use the shortstop while casually breaking scout’s neck 100 times
I need to pick up this weapon again. Nice tutorial btw, I had never thought about the shortstop this way!
I'm naming my Shortstop "It Ain't Gonna Suck Itself" now. Thank you for this revelation.
Shortstop is really good when you've decided you want to try to take out a level 3 sentry at mid range as scout
Derringyer? Durr-inger? DEAD RINGER?
BRO CRACKED THE CASE

I love your artstyle, it's so cute wwww
Keep up the great animations

I love how Scout in the thumbnail just stares at you like "Yeah. Yeah. Let it sink in, moron."
"it does not suck itself"
this style is giving me littlebigplanet vibes
God, this feels like watching a LBP1 tutorial all over again.
If you want to use it offensively use the Bonk Atomic Punch and Atomizer. As soon as you run past enemy lines you’ll always have someone giving chase. With your speed and third jump you can easily put a lot of distance between you and them and when enemies chase you back they never strafe, which makes them very easy targets to dust off from a safe distance. Instead of self defense in your home it’s more like self defense in theirs as the weapon works beautifully when used on either backline.
Also Bonk gives you more options/locations you can engage a sentry nest from with your Shortstop. Also invincibility and greater pushback leads to some pretty wild sentry surfing especially with the Atomizer.
The guy who designed the gun the shortstop is based off of recently died, RIP Robert Hillberg
haha he looks like a little big planet :)
whats that
Bloopander: keep yourself at a distance
also Bloopander: "proceeds to run as close as possible to the enemy team"
Holy shit your animation style is so good, it looks like little big planet, and it looks so damn awesome
i adore the artstyle of the chibi characters being like a mix between sackboy from littlebigplanet and the monkeys from super monkey run or whatever that PSP game was called
That’s Super Monkey Ball chief :]
@Flump-Master oh, you just reminded me! I was thinking of and meant to say "Ape Escape" and then my brain was thinking of Super Monkey Ball when trying to remember its' name lmao
The push mechanic is just so if someone gets in your face you can push them away and get some distance
Its syncs with the play style of being mid-range
2:23, you got it correct the first time
That thumbnail has some... interesting interpretations.
I love these, never stop making them ❤
That little gun you said about is what people used as a bb gun
For the auto reload thing, you can shove while reloading... KINDA! Just hold left click at the same time as your secondary fire. There are still a few downsides, but you can't make me turn off auto reload in tf2.
Great video. I can’t wait to log onto TF2 and pull out the shortstop from my inventory!
I’m getting real Little Big Planet vibes from your art style
Little Big Planet, TF2 channel. Nice.
It’s not bad, but it’s definitely a weaker choice to say the least. I think it needs to have more reduced Damage Falloff.
Agreed. The window of range where it’s more effective than the Scattergun to where you’re too far from the enemy is so dang tiny.
How about a tighter bullet spread?
@@Typical_terorristit's already 40% more accurate.
What it needs is a fixed spread pattern
Despite having a 40% buff in accuracy, it still use the same spread as the Scattergun, go in-game with Random Bullet Spread on and off and compare the two, its pretty crazy
@@vivelespatat2670 no weapon should have random spread, not just the Shortstop.
No shortstop will suck itself. Any sucking of a shortstop will be on the part of the person wielding it.
I hardly use that gun, perhaps I’ll give it a shot (no pun intended) We have Loadout A-D for a reason, perhaps I can set B for defense and A for offense
The shortstop just asks so much of the user to get much good out of it, like the syringe gun does.
Funny. I was thinking about all of the changes I'd introduce to the game lately, and for Scout the only notes I had were:
1) Make a more new/casual user friendly playstyle possible
2) Make an actual info=oriented recon playstyle a thing so Scout actually scouts
3) Grant a defensive playstyle so he has more use in O/D missions
Turns out, at least one of these things is already in the game! Cheers, shortstop, you weird little gun. :3
Nice video and cute style, love the sackboy-esque plushie characters
Man I love the littlebigplanet style of animation he use
Why is the style of the video giving me little big planet vibes
what's that
you never heard of little big planet?
@@Bloopander
search it up on google and you will see what I am talking about
Also your videos are very cool
The shortstop's been always my favourite scout weapon, i liked to play pyro and demo alot but i also loved to play scout when i still played tf2
"Everything is good against bad players."

Im going to use your thumbnail in bad context
great video! however I was very close to guessing the shortstop, i was just very tired so I couldnt really remember.
The shortstop is called that because it was gonns have a slow on hit effect like the natascha
I love the Sack Boy lookin team members
2:22 you said it right the first time
The only one complain is that you called FaN ''a defense weapon'', where in reality it's a aggressive pick weapon. But overall a good video to tell someone to finally use the ShortStop
Kinda mainly use it on defense when i get behind the pushing team I target a medic or a key pusher like heavy, most times im able to take em out in the flank or take chunks off there health.
@@billbob2899 that's called ''pick'', not a defense. You can do picks on both offense and defense
@aanproduction1516 just feels easier to do on defense most of the time so I associate it as a defensive weapon, but yeah you right.
@@billbob2899Everything is easier when you're on the defense.
I love the Sackboy looking TF2 mercs
I find it hilarious that out of Scout's wide variety of weapons, the Scattergun is the most consistent
You got the pronunciation of "derringer" right the first time.
So strange i was searching for sports maps last night, especially baseball maps.
is your killsound the SMAAASH sound from earthbound
also thank you for showing off a more "supporty" style scout playstyle, i think it's a fun and underrated way to play scout. kind of like a subclass.
That thumbnail is like "well, this shortstop ain't gonna suck itself!!" 😅🤣💀
I’ve been having a blast with shortstop whenever I pub. Great video on explaining instead of bashing it. Nice animation too.
I use this with Cleaver and Wrap Assasin and it slaps.
Ayyy, a fellow Scout Subclass enjoyer? We ought to popularise shortstop as the first true subclass of Scout, with cleaver and wrap being popular combo that works best with shortstop subclass
i really really love your style in the videos
This video is a fever dream with an opium high.
this art style gives me huge LittleBigPlanet vibes, great work!
LittleBigFortress would unironically go so hard.
How did I never find this channel before
Amazing video
Really good video, I adore your intro animations and overall presentation!
I've been using the shortstop over the past three days, I really enjoy using the scattergun/backscatter but now it feels like I somewhat prefer this mid ranged more harassment focused playstyle on scout, I think both have their own benefits. The Shortstop is a weapon I disregarded for ages especially after the reload nerf so it's been fun giving it an honest go, I really dislike the smaller clips of the soda popper & FaN so having 4 shots and a clip that reloads all in one go is a nice middle ground. I kinda miss the days when equiping the shortstop would give scout more healing, although the higher knockback to escape ain't bad either.
During my time messing around with the shortstop so far I've found you can push people mid clip with auto reload on although you have to hold down right mouse button oppose to tapping it, it's extremely jank but i'm still happy to have it, despite it's benefits the shove as a whole is just jank overall.
Thanks for the upload
Honestly if you played Overwatch 2 at some point there's a support hero called Zenyatta and he super kicks players a big distance away if they can make the push that strong then i genuinely would love to use the shortstop more because then i can watch silly situations happen where i push someone straight into the stratosphere or a sentry.
I will consult Saucy as he has played Overwatch 2 but I will not elaborate on my own relationship with Overwatch as I don't wanna get crucified!
another good thing about the shortstop its really good against sentrys
You can use the fan o war or atomizer it has mini crits too and without mark for death which you should use
at around 2:30 i noticed the punch-out for the wii (glass joe) music, i like that game.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DOESNT SUCK ITSELF
Great animation,great turorial gonna spam e for algorythim
I really like your editing and it’s a shame UA-cam algorithm hide ur stuff
Awesome animation work!
No, it doesn't suck itself... I'd be worried if it could bend that well.
Fantastic video. i hope to give you a high five for it in heaven or hell or the void
What is shortstop?
Well it is cop 357 that forced to shot shotgun Shell
As the wiki points out, the COP coincidentally had a .410 bore version as well!
underatted af lol
I usually use this to annoy people with the shove
This thing would be so much better if it had its old mechanic of increased healing over the shove. The shove is just objectively worthless.
Little big planet characters
That is way too much quality. What cute animations. UA-cam recommendations doing its job properly for once. It's been stuck with comic dubs and Monster Hunter OSTs for a while. I don't even watch comic dubs!
16 seconds? Man i think it's first time i got that short number
you could say that it was short
@@Bloopandersorry i am stupid
I sure miss the old Shortstop. Used to be the best gun ever.
I still think this thing needs a buff
reduce the pellet penalty to 50% instead of 60%.
fix the spread pattern so it appears as a plus sign
reduce it's ramp up to 125% instead of 150%
increase it's falloff max damage to 75% instead of 52.8%
retain the 100% damage per pellet bonus
retain the accuracy bonus
15% damage vulnerability added
This will significantly increase it's mid to long range utility, though also boost it's close range damage by about 4%
close range shots go from 72 to 75. mid range goes to 60. long range goes to 45, assuming all pellets hit, at 9 per. It'd cement it as a mid to long range harassment tool, while still leaving it underperforming over stock at close range, and making it dangerous to engage at that range. The 15% vulnerability puts scout into 1 shot territory from a max rampup stock rocket
im glad to see this in 2024
I need to know was the character inspiration little big planet
whats that
That my answer
Pepper is a another baseball term
and a food
@@Bloopander a man of culture
superb presentation!
If you don't mind me leaving my two cents here I'll tell something: There's a reason we Scout enjoyers don't like this gun much and it's because it's niche is too, niche.
Fun fact, Scattergun doesn't do that little dmg in mid range, if you look at pro Scouts they don't actually get that close to enemy. Even in your shortstop clips, you were in close range so often you would've done more dmg with stock. Aka it's niche of being better mid range weapon is just not that strong, doesn't help that it's reload is soo s l o w and shove is too weak.
Imho, even though it's very ineffective I still gave it a shot and play with it from time to time. It's the only subclass qeapon Scout has, and if you use it with cleaver and wrap assassin you become mid range menace.
But your loadout of milk/crit cola and atomizer also works but probably not in KOTH maps where I usually play 😅
Yeah also the upside it give is way too small compare to it downside like the clip is too small for how many damage it can do most of the time also being quite hard to land all 4 clean shot that give out just ok damage also faster firing rate is not helping most of the time because of the bullet spread so unless it a stationery target like sentry or huge target like Heavy you can't just quickly shoot all 4 bullet.
This might be off the art direction you are aiming at, but this would look great with a realistic hand PNG being tracked on Scout (it would also assist on clipping). That would look funny, you should try some day!
The Shortstop is a really good weapon on payload. It can damage people in mid range when behind your enemies. It can also be use to harass snipers and engineers when you use the bonk atomic punch to get behind the enemy front line and start killing their sentry and if they focus on you. That means they ignore defending or pushing the cart. So basically, be a pest to the enemy team because you got the distance and deal somewhat decent damage from far and mid range while keeping yourself alive and use the bonk atomic punch to escape sticky situations.
Nah, ive always thought this. glad someone understands
we should have the option to push while loading kinda like in Left 4 Dead I think'd it be pretty cool
I barely use scout, of course I'm using it wrong.
This is beautiful
Skirmisher scout
Great animations!
I love your blender animations dude! if I make non-tf2 content, would the TF2 blender discord be a good spot to just ease myself into Blender in general? I LOVE TF2 WHICH IS WHY I FOUND THIS VIDEO TO BEGIN WITH
There is a regular blender discord community so you could always try that! If you are a new user though, try to follow blender guru's donut tutorial on how to use it first.
@@Bloopanderive tried it years ago and didnt have the proper instinct for it
which is weird considering I have 25 nickels for each Ultrakill level i've pranked
You could always try another tutorial on how to use blender! Not everyone learned how to play TF2 from one youtuber so why wouldn't that be the same for blender!
The blender discords would be good in terms of seeing other styles, inspiration, and asking general advice. Figure out what exactly you want to make and don't feel daunted if you compare your art to another's. I only used blender 4 years ago and I don't have the capacity to animate an entire 3+ minute long animation and I changed styles like 3 different times as of last year!
why does this video gives me little big planet vibes?
i dont think the name is from the usage of the weapon. i think its because scout is a boston baseball boy and the barrels of the short stop. "stop short" of a normal gun.
Sooooooooo
We are collectively just gonna ignore the fact that this guy just made a masterpiece styled TF2 video while throwing knowledge at us for 6 straight minutes
We are witnessing the next FUNKe right here
scout be glitching
Very useful tips!
i will start to using it!
So snorting crack ISN’T a strat while playing shortstop scout, I am baffled, and disgusted
good tutorial on the weapon, but DAMN was it painful to watch you miss those shots in the little gameplay segments you showed
i main phlog pyro for that reason!!!!
It's better than my aim, at least.O_o
@bloopander what you really wanna do is decrease the viewmodel size of the weapons, so the shortstop doesn't cover everything. And next you gotta cope with the fact that you suck at aiming
no I'm pro
So is anyone gonna talk about the picture used for the video and the next 2 videos
This is very nice
these fools out here trying to explain how to use some 4 barrel gun, i don't even have it so your lecture doesnt apply to me
run two instances of tf2 and play stock scout at the same time on both .exes
then you will have 4 barrels
"It does not suck itself" what did you mean by that 🤨
