I can always return to this for a good lil time, even 13 years later. Reminds me of my old days of playing TF2 all the time when not in high school back in the earlly 2000s
@GeneAnaki I've never understood these kinds of comments. First off, the fuck is a key script and how do I use it? Are they good? Secondly, whether I use these methods in my videos or not, I'm not trying to wow you with my ostensible skills. Sure, some people watch my highly fragmented, unnecessarily over-edited montages, and deem them skilled. I'm flattered by that, really, but the sole purpose of my videos is to entertain a specific audience - just like virtually every other video on UA-cam.
I use it (most of the time) because I think random crits make the game funner. Randomly hitting someone with a sideways axe slash and having them immediately die when you weren't necessarily expecting them to, is imo really cool :) (Basically I'm using it because I think it's funny, not because it's a better weapon)
I sometimes am anticipating them, like the first rocket jump I do on arena_granary. Though, the one I do on cp_harvest into the window is sort of a spur of the moment kind of thing xD I was surprised it worked.
I find the normal axe to be more satisfying :D You can't easily humiliate a W+M1 Pyro with the Axetinguisher :D (Plus I'm a simpleton, lighting them on fire before whacking them with the axe is too much work!)
Also take into account that the thriller taunt currently happens like 8 times out of 10, and I only tried that spot once. It really was the luckiest thing I ever did in TF2.
Okay, my comment on part one, I take it back, your Flares are much better aimed than mine, also the normal Axe is an interesting choice, though definately not without benefits... I still say we have a fairly even drive for the Hadouken...even if that one at the start made my jaw drop until about 4:37 >.> All in all, another instant favourite and certainly a great showcase of how to make peoples projectiles horrifying. =D
i know, thats why im training the pyro more and more, but i cant get anyone with the flare gun, idk why but i cant hit them, thats because i just run towards or from back to them and flame them up, ariblast them to the wall, and then give them a nice hit with the axe :D day done. (btw Eskimo, why are you using the normal axe? )
you just made me realise... for a while now ive just been aiming to kill and win, doing well with what i do... not actually learning how to do anything new... and as a pyro i shouldnt just reflect the stuff.. i should be aiming to actually.. well... AIM as well.
the bits with the headshots on dustbowl stage 3... its not just impressive to get the headshots... but how you actually found a server where you can go round that corner without exploding from spam instantly.
1:13 I love how the demo's just like 'fukit, i'm out of here'. And then the heavy walks around the corner, realizes that he should probably leave, and does. ...best. video. ever.
lol, either that or hes one of those noobs who just say that against any pyro who kills them even if it wasnt w+m1 just cus they need an excuse to feel better about themselves ;D
the pyro is the most overpowered class ever... He can reflect arrows, nades and rockets, he can easily kill you with the afterburn if you play a weak class, he can set you on fire at far distance, he can 1 hit you if he uses the axtiguisher, he is immune against fire and he doenst require ANY aim at all, just hold down your m1 button and burn the shit out of everybody....SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK?! NO class has that many extras. he is just an overpowered class for noobs -.-
So heres what happened, I was on a pub, airblasting like a mad man, when suddenly, SUDDEN HUNTSMAN SNIPER! I knew what I had to do so I did, I reflected his arrow and got a headshot, I was estatic! it was my first turns out the sniper was a 10 year old admin who did'nt know what the hell airblasting was and he kicked me.
I def think he is one of the easier classes to get kills with as a beginner, but to be a really good Pyro by using his air blast effectively, I think, is extremely difficult.... and even if you hit someone with a flare (which has a really slow reload and travel time) it doesn't do a ton of dmg unless already on fire or you hit them a second time.
Just a few things. 1. Trolling snipers like a boss. 2. I never play soldier and I still pissed my pants in fear. 3. I don't think the Huntsman is a fun weapon anymore. 4. Trolling snipers like a BOSS. 5. Holy airblasting Batman! 6. I wish could subscribe to your Steam account, so I could spectate every game you play. I'll settle for subscribing to your UA-cam account. :D
@DispleasedEskimo lol 2day i was playing on Xbox version, cuz my PC is shit, and i DO know that pc i better, so u dont have to inform me, but i was playing pyro at 2fort and there were 5 snipers, engie and demo on top deck, so instead of having aussie barbicue, i used axe. its waaaaaaay funner looking that axtinguisher LOL
@genialsisisi Im a degreaser pyro that is pretty good, but SOMETIMES I want to have a challenge. I usually use degreaser/shotgun/axguister, but if I want to fuck around and have slightly more challenge. I use same set up as him, instead of flare, I use shotgun though.
@YourMumRatesMe1331 For me, at least, I can't react fast enough to see those incoming. I have to anticipate when they're going to fire and hit airblast right then. Looking at this video though, he's just twitch reacting to them. Wish I was that fast x.x
@s4115540 Not Exactly. I'm a Proro but it took a good solid week to get rockets, jarate, flares, and sandman down. Huntsman takes longer. If you want help being a super leet Proro watch the Magnetro pyro tutorial Good Luck :D
@IKnowWereYouSleep Well, I can see that you're blatantly trying to troll, but to keep the argument going, how is he able to airblast when the Axtinguisher isn't out, when they came out in the same update?
Competitive players work hard and spend time practicing gruelingly. But you know, Meet the PROro has nothing on you, because here, the most skilled players do something called having fun. Great Video. :D
When you're redirecting arrow shots and sandman baseball, do you just react instinctively from seeing the sandman baseball or longbow and just hit airblast? Or do you actually see them coming?
I don't understand how anyone can have reflexes that good. You make make me feel poopy. But knowing that someone out there is good, and has fun, and makes good videos about it makes me happy too.
Pretty cool video, I was wondering why you don't use the Axtinguisher? Also what do you think about the Degreaser and Powerjack? (And any other new weapons that have come out.)
The funny thing is that it's not the Degreaser I'm addicted to (I use it A LOT, though) it's that I just absolutely LOVE the Homewrecker. It's my favorite on either front.
you sir are the best pyro ive ever seen in my life, while watching all i could do was have my jaw dropped in sheer amazement at your skills i bow down to your godlike prowess
Protip: As Pyro, my favourite unlock is the Huntsman. I might do as good as you if I had a better PC... 10-60 fps, and I can't seem to airblast beyond melee range...
Hey Eskimo what programs do you use to make your videos and how do you make your transitions so smooth instead of super rapid. Also do you have any tips for video making?
@Skip1989 That was during the Halloween event. Valve replaced all the taunts (if not, most of them) with the thriller dance for a few days during the Halloween season :).
After thinking about it long and hard, I've theorized that the 10 people who disliked this video were no doubt the same people whom Eskimo completely destroyed on here.
it's actually the huntsman arrows, the reason it showed the headshot kill icon was because it was a reflected arrow headshot. other wise it shows the reflect arrow icon
Yeah. I remeber I saw a spy and instead of just burning him to death, I lit him on fire and juggled him till he died. I guy on my team was like "Thats just mean".
I can safely say that this is your best video you've ever made. It was all spectacular; your music, your editing, and most of all your playing. Fantastic job, Eskimo.
@DispleasedEskimo I'm just curious; in Pubbing with the Pyro 1 you use the axtinguisher, but in this one you use the default axe. Pardon my asking, why the change?
@DispleasedEskimo Your right, its awesome, plus going Pyro vs Pyro with the vanilla axe is best, the other pyro will be using the axetinguisher but no fire :(
@qwertyuiop1st I agree with you. Randomly killing people with the normal axe is fun and hilarious. Even more hilarious if you go into a killing spree with it.xD
dude, you are heroic. nice work on the airblasting rocket jumps. i had no idea. not to mention airblasting piss jars. didn't know that either! awesome.
This video can inspire anyone to play pyro, if even just to have one of these epic moments occur. Well done, sir! Love the music choice too. Classy and fun!
So much respect for the stock flame thrower and fire axe. You're a trooper, and an inspiration.
+Thomas D'Arista This video is before the degreaser and the powerjack were even in the game.
5:00 represents everyone's feelings when he gets owned by a skill.
This guy inspired me to keep playing as pyro up to this day.
I can always return to this for a good lil time, even 13 years later. Reminds me of my old days of playing TF2 all the time when not in high school back in the earlly 2000s
Great scene starring Tubbimora in this video ^^

It really was the luckiest thing I ever did in TF2.
Thanks, but I preferred some of yours :P
Like that triple kill with a deflected critical rocket!
There's not a single multi-kill in here >_>
@massampage
nope.
anyway, the characteristics of both videos are difference, though both are similarly TF2 pyros gameplays.
@Jynweythek501 BETWEEN YOU AND ME, he gets me too. But thanks to the magic of editing, we can keep that a secret!
Nah, that first clip is 100% luck
I chose it as an opener because of how hilariously lucky I thought it was :P
Thriller taunt, which randomly happened during the TF2 halloween update a few months back.
One time on a Well server I set this Spy on fire, knocked him back, shot him once or twice, and he fell and got hit by a train.
@Travianero94 I'm going to need a larger palm and a larger face.
Nope, I just have a bad habit of pressing Q at the wrong time!

W+M2! :D
Before i was able to Headshot a heavy with a reflected arrow.
no really I'm not kidding, Honest :/
I love how the music is simple, showing how many people think it takes no skill to play as the pyro, but this shows otherwise! NICE JOB
Axtinguisher Pyro Vs FireAxe Pyro. The Axtinguisher is a good weapon, but it has flaws.
One thing I have to ask, how the hell do you react so fast to airblast rockets, Jarate, arrows, baseballs, and stickies like that?
OMFG I have watched this video like 20 times and this is the first time I noticed that epic taunt kill clip at the very end
I love this music. Reminds me of the countless hours I spent watching Spongebob. :D
the pyro is the most overpowered class ever...
He can reflect arrows, nades and rockets, he can easily kill you with the afterburn if you play a weak class, he can set you on fire at far distance, he can 1 hit you if he uses the axtiguisher, he is immune against fire and he doenst require ANY aim at all, just hold down your m1 button and burn the shit out of everybody....SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK?!

also i think the pyro is the best all around class to play can take out any class and even redirect ubers.

@Totakekenoob It's a Halloween-themed "Thriller" taunt. It appears at random during Halloween events.

Yeah, lucky me, I found out literally 50 seconds after I posted the comment. Aren't I amazing?
The funny thing is that it's not the Degreaser I'm addicted to (I use it A LOT, though) it's that I just absolutely LOVE the Homewrecker. It's my favorite on either front.

@SkyScrapers72 Some servers turn ff on before the game actually starts.
in 2012/2013 is hard to play as well, because all know the adventage of pyros and other chars
i love your vids man. im looking forword to paly pyro w+m2 style, not w+m1 style anymore :D
@DispleasedEskimo I'm just curious; in Pubbing with the Pyro 1 you use the axtinguisher, but in this one you use the default axe. Pardon my asking, why the change?
@DispleasedEskimo Your right, its awesome, plus going Pyro vs Pyro with the vanilla axe is best, the other pyro will be using the axetinguisher but no fire :(
@qwertyuiop1st
I agree with you. Randomly killing people with the normal axe is fun and hilarious. Even more hilarious if you go into a killing spree with it.xD
dude, you are heroic. nice work on the airblasting rocket jumps. i had no idea. not to mention airblasting piss jars. didn't know that either! awesome.
This video can inspire anyone to play pyro, if even just to have one of these epic moments occur. Well done, sir!
Love the music choice too. Classy and fun!
Gawd, Huntsman arrows are so hard to time to reflect back and you do it almost flawlessly.
@GeneAnaki
If I made a video with all of my lucky shots / awesome streaks, I'd look amazing at the game, too.
That's not the point; it's just funny.
you sir have the best amount of luck (and a shitload of skill n timing) I have ever seen
thanks to this vid i now know that flare gun, huntsman arrows, milk, and jarate can be air blasted Thanks :-) also this vid is funny as hell
@Naxxramas71
He stated before, because everyone uses it and the fireaxe is funnier, and can crit, which makes people whine, which is funny
This video was released before the degreaser was put in the game (2010) but I see your point. Too many pyros use the degreaser exclusively.
"Lulz" and "Awwww---ugh" were the best. Your choice in music for this video drives me insane... Even so, you're my favourite Pyro. : >
i know this a late comment but thanks to this vid telling me can AB jarate, today i managed to finally have a CMoA, cheers Displeased!
@Pevapa I seem to be better with deflecting quick moving missiles than I am with deflecting slower moving missiles. It's kind of weird.
I'll never reflect proyectiles like that...
Sir, you are PERFECT
Only person I've ever seen master rocket jumping with a pyro @_@
I like the joking tone of this one, and I like your "fuck the axtinguisher" style
In a world of back burners, one compression blaster stands above them all...
DISPLEASED ESKIMO -- IN...
PUBBING WITH THE PYRO 3!
The pyro has just won out over the scout for "Most elite class"
any tips on rocket jumping with pyro? I have most of the timings down on the projectiles but cant seem to jump around very well.
You should use the third degree instead of the normal axe it has no downsides but ot hits every unit connected by medic beams
You sir have serious skill, you are like a midget among dwarfs. Truly a soapbox higher then the rest. Keep up the good work!
oh, and can you tell me the name of the HUD you're using? I've been serching for it for a long time, and still can't find it :/
Playing Pyro myself, nice to see how things were back then :) Thanks
also 5:00 OAAAAAAOAOAOAAAOAOAAAAOAAOOAAOAAHHHH
:DDD
@geoandbenji Maybe that was the time of Halloween...Or a server that makes all taunts Triller taunts.I know a few myself.
Hey man do you usually get reactions from people when you airblast their crap back at them? Do you get accused of hacks?
@patq911 ah ok... I actually did some pyroing yestrday... found out the crit makes normal axe quite powerful at times.
This is amazing... you are my Pyro hero. Just the sheer number of reflected arrows was awesome. Keep up the good work!
you sir, are the most epic pyro i have EVER seen, wherever i play we get those w+m1'ing and backburning no skilled pyros
3:54 Holy crap! I didn't know that you could blow back sniper rifle bullets.
This video proves that Degreaser is not the best flamethrower.
Awesome frags, awesome choise of music, awesome video.
Some servers have modes at the beginning and end of the round where it's just free for all and you can kill everyone
@beanbomb47 lol, yeah I wish I knew how to time airblasts like that.
Another reason why I don't use the backburner.
@IKnowWereYouSleep
Axtinguisher came out in TF2's 2nd freaking major update.
War update was soldier and Demoman
@GeneAnaki I would love to see myself if you can do better. It's a matter of practice and luck. Could you do better?
The slower frame rate of the video makes the arrow harder to see. It might have been obvious when he was playing.
Hey eskimo, I know where you got that song! Its from spongebob episode suds when he gets well in the hospital!! :D
@Skip1989 I'm sure someone will eventually do something with it, after all i've seen a few custom taunts around.
if i was playing on the server while you did this... i would be calling you a hacker.... but wow... thats amazing
