[TF2] Weapon Reskin Stereotypes! Episode 1: The Only One
Вставка

- Weapon reskins in tf2 have always been a strange case to me. On one hand if you like how a weapon works but hate how it looks it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, these reskins also have stereotypes attached to them that are different from what item the reskin originates from, so why not talk about said stereotypes?

Just wanted to make a quick comment to say that yes i realize i forgot a few reskins like the capper and the quakenbirdt. Sorry if you were expecting to see them in this video they just kinda slipped my mind. I also just want to say the support this video has gotten has been insane, genuinely thank you for all the love this video has gotten
Stealing video ideas in tf2 have always been a strange case to me. On one hand if you like how a video works but hate how the stupid orange hat guy looks it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, this video is pretty good 9 short cello loops out of 10.
You forgot one of the the big kill’s stereotype
Comically Large Revolver

Also Necro Smasher Hog Rider Demo
Darn I really wanted to see the capper
I only have 2 reeskins i actually use and you only put one of them, cmon man how could you do that to me
@@pedrotzexpacial3612 I did that to specifically spite you
This will be Soundsmith in 2014

Anyone watching this in 2012?

Excuse me, it appears to be 1967 right now. Are you all time travelers? Is this some sort of prank? Shame on you all and go make me another cup of coffee.
TF2ber Reskins have always seemed like a strange case to me
Dude the effort that went into making this look EXACTLY like the Soundsmith stereotypes videos is commendable, I did a double take when I saw it. The jokes hit the same as they did in the OG series and the pacing is *perfect*. Good stuff, man.
I like the reference to Great Blue's catchphrase in the beginning as well.
bro even added his mannerisms, pauses on words that need emphasis, and silly jokes. bro could be his doppelganger
Spy canonically sleeps with scout's mother, so I assume the unarmed combat is once he catches him...
That's his father lol
I love this for no reason at all

thank you for filling my tf2 stereotype appetite
Bootleger stereotype: There is a 50% chance he is using the tide turner
The others 50% is him dont have tide turner unlocked
I want Medic to have a sword.
I don't care if it's just a shitty reskin of the stock bonesaw, I just want a bigass sword. 💀
Medic paladin set when?
"We have SoundSmith at home"
SoundSmith at home:
but for real, you actually added a bunch of effort in this video and it shows haha
weapon reskins have always seemed like a strange c- *Gunshot*
15:50 It should be noted that the Necro Smasher is the most accessible reskin on Engineer available if you want a proper Wrench Reskin.
Weirdly enough, it's the only Reskin in the game that is available on all classes, except Spy.
That, but also the prinny, saxxy, and golden pan are the only TRUE all class melee, and the former cost an arm and 3 kidneys
I think SoundSmith will make some videos on weapon stereotypes for all classes.
Soundsmith technically already made a stereotype video on the all class melees.
@@Anonymous-cn9ow dude, its a joke.
Yup, the Crossing Guard was dead-on for me. Always hated how the Pain Train was just a railroad spike on a board and had so little to do with trains besides that. I like trains. I set out to get a strange Crossing Guard and immediately named it "The Pain Train" with the description "All aboard the pain train! Next stop, your faceville!" It's my go-to stock melee reskin on most loadouts that I have a stock melee on. Prinny Machete is somewhat true for me, renamed it M9 Bayonet. I also have a collector's professional killstreak Nessie's because I always thought it was cool. "Tiger Woods' Bludgeoning Stick" she's called, with the description of "Fore!" I love it.
Next up: Viewmodel FOV Stereotypes
I'm surprised people cheated in the black rose considering how easy it was to get it, it was literally just play the game once and you would get the achievement, I personally got it legit. I actually still use it today because its a pretty reskin and I like the trusty stock knife the most as its just simply a good reliable knife with no downsides (though also no upsides, but oh well, its the knife)
Thank you, weapon reskins no longer seem like a strange case to me.
Australiums: An australiuim user is generally going to fall into one of two categories.
The first are some of the most lethal players you'll ever run into in the game. These guys will always be using the primary stock reskins, unless they're playing Heavy in which case it's a toss up between the stock and the tomislav. Regardless, you can pick these players out by the fact that the aussie that they're using has about 10k kills on it and is customized to the nth degree. Custom name, pro ks kit, strange parts, festivized, if there's something they could do to this weapon they have done so. Essentially, this person plays so much TF2 that dropping 3 figures on the primary weapon in their loadout didn't seem entirely insane. Just hope this guy is on your side, because god help you if he's on the other team.
The second, far less threatening group, are either high-tier traders or MvM sweats. They got their aussie either as part of a trade or through an MvM drop, and figure they may as well use the extra-shiny weapon. They hope people will assume they're part of the first group, and they'll usually be at least competent at the game, but since most of their experience involves either mindless robots or trade server deathmatches it will be apparently pretty quickly they're not the gods that they want the peasants to think they are.
A strange shooting star costs less than a strange machina

Headtaker stereotype: if you see him on the enemy team, run. If he's on your team, run.
Not even ten seconds in and we already have a Great Blue Reference, Five Stars
Ohhh this is a neat idea. I'd like to see a whole series like this.
And that intro was awesome.
stereotype for the self-aware beauty mark/mutated milk: players who use these think they have an edge because of the very slight increase in throwing distance thanks to source jank
Lugermorph Engies are probably more likely to be cowboys. It’s a Luger, it sorta fits the cowboy aesthetic.
I wouldn’t be surprised if more than a few Ap-Sap Spies miss the Wheatley voice spam. Really sad how that one got patched out.
I think Nessie’s players just really want a strange one. Sure there’s the Eyelander, but the Nessie’s has a sort of flair to it.
I also believe Prinny Machetes are frequently used by Spy cosplay loadouts, Heavy coming to mind the most.
Also, just a fun note, Strange Shooting Stars have frequently been cheaper than Strange Machinas, likely due to the wider release of the Invasion crates. Which is a nice change of pace compared to the ludicrous prices of Strange Huntsman, Gunslinger, and Kritzkrieg.
The Quackenbirdt falls into three categories:
1) A different looking stock watch to spice up the loadout
2) Duck fans, likely sporting the Duck Billed Hatypus and a Duck Journal. Don’t be surprised if you hear a quack before getting killed by one
3) The elusive Hitman fan. I personally haven’t seen one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if fans of the series run the promotional item tied to it.
For Capper players, it’s basically the same tryhard stereotype as Lugermorph Scouts, but it applies across both classes.
And, for my favorite reskin, the Crossing Guard, while available in Strange quality, has no dedicated Killstreak Kit. Never has. Any Killstreak Crossing Guards you see are Specialized or Professional, and were obtained by using a glitched universal kit. It’s stupid annoying.
There's one other important detail about the Quackenbirdt - the way the viewmodel cloak meter works.
Unlike the stock invis watch, instead of its viewmodel cloak meter showing duration as a horizontal bar, it shows it as a circle with a radial fill - which can make it easier to tell how much of your cloak you have remaining.
But, you might be asking about the Enthusiast's Timepiece - that Pac Man-shaped indicator on it must serve the same purpose, right? Unfortunately, it doesn't. It suffers from the same problem as the view model cloak meter on the (pre-rework) Dead Ringer - instead of draining at a linear rate, it drains at a wacky rate - which makes it nigh impossible to tell at a glance how much cloak you actually have left.
And this detail is why, even though I do own the timepiece, I'm in Quackenbirdt gang. If the Timepiece didn't suffer from the wacky cloak meter drain rate, I'd actually use it.
Ngl first vidoe I seen and lowkey already love bros content subscribe immediately 😭
ive seen some lugermorph engies that usually have a cowboy loadout of sorts. so yeah its probably that.
this is just a perfect video, nostalgia, that damn music, and the disclaimer, its awesome
I look forward to seeing more of these in the future. I love the stereotype series and seeing a modern interpretation would be cool.
I personally use the nostromo napalmer because it sorta looks like one of the flamethrowers used in Rammstein's live performance of the song Mein Teil; so I named the weapon after the song.

5:30 I have a professional Nessie's... I like it more than eyelander...
Very nice video man! Keep it up
Im waiting the SoundSmith he write "Huh? You want my pupil or be alone as hack copy-cat" smthng and leave without elaborate.
Somebody had to pick up the bucket of schlop
13:29 I think there can also be two other classifications of objector users; wild cards and plain Janes. The wild cards will just have something completely random on there like a picture of a hotdog, or a something related to an inside joke in there friend group. Ether way you just look at it and think “… what?”. The plain Jane is just an objector without anything on it, ether because the person using it thinks that walking around with a blank one is funnier or they just got it and are new.
really good vid mate
great video! its funny because I have quite a few of these through random crafting. its a pretty neat feature that most people overlook.
for the awper hand, i just use it because the awp sound is amazing. i could listen to it for a whole day and still not get tired of it, while the stock sniper rifle's sound is oddly annoying for me (dont know why)
this video has the EXACT feel of og soundsmith. if you were to continue the stereotype series in secret there's a moderate chance no one would notice
Bootlegger is arguably one the only reskin that gets more usage than their original counterpart. Since it's easy to get and is more visually appealing, almost every demoknight around will have them
OMFG was THIS a GODDAMN SOUNDSMITH REFERENCE???
For the bootlegger, I notice I see it a lot more on meme loadouts (like demopan and caberknight) way more often than the wee booties.
I do fall into the Maul stereotype but it comes with job of being pybro only when our engineer is suffering trying to defend, usually thanks to the 5 enemy spies.
If my engie is doing fine on his own even when being pressured I'm usually off doing something else.
this peaks... I think strange reskins have always been a weapon case to me
oh hey I'm that pyro you crit in the clip at 13:35 lmao
im so sorry girlboss gary, i didnt want that crit
10/10 best TF2 nickname i've seen so far
this is like game theory getting a new narrator
Good vid! :D
prinny knife is neat because it lets other classes (like Heavy) cosplay as The Spy
Soundsmiths child continuing his series
This is a funny SoundSmith video
You can still get the Poker night reskin both 1 and 2. You can buy a code for that game redeem it and win the item you use it. That’s what I did.
yea but codes are over $100, also my ass does not know how to play poker
@@dipmydots I got poker night 2 on Amazon for 5$ and poker night on a website for 20$.
For bootlegger: players roleplaying as horseless headless horsemann
I got the Prinny Machete for my Heavy so I can pretend he's Brock Samson.
(I'm not doing well in Poker Night 2.)
Damn two nostalgic tf2 youtubers reference at once?, That's crazy
the bootlegger is usually used by stickytanks not demoknigts.
Actually, FUN FACT about the Black Rose in particular: You couldn't use SAM to unlock it, AVA's achievements were attached to their own servers and SAM wouldn't let you unlock anything.
This video was really good. How you dont even have 50 subs?!!
7:52 Spy: *flies in A pose*
Finally a good soundsmith video 😍😍
I use Nessie's because its model takes up the least screen space out of his sword options.
weapon reskins in tf2 have always seemed like a strange case to me
If I had to take a guess as to why the necrosmasher is the only unlock you some people have, there's a good chance they started playing during and because of the Halloween event, so that could be one of the first unlocks they got.
People who wears the Bootlegger because of how it doesn't stand out. Maybe they want to look cool. Or maybe they want it to be a pirate. But really, you only use it over Ali Baba's Wee Booties because it will look rather ridiculously with the cosmetics you choose with the Baba's Wee Booties... Unless you want to be a christmas elf.
Skullcutter can just be a montage of "rare" high moments
the scottsmans skull cutter is not a reskin
13:29 3 more things you often see on objectors:
1. MLP
2. Nothing (they don’t have a decal tool)
3. an image of whoever they’re cosplaying as
I'll say it I'm a proud Iron Curtain user and its honestly because I really like the way it sounds and how it looks.
As some who actually did get the Black Rose legitimately, A.V.A. was pretty ass. If I still played TF2 I would absolutely still use it and the Poker Night ones for the sake of flexing.
You should do festive weapons stereotypes
My prinny machete’s name is “face stab hitbox +25”
You started a massive chaos of stereotypes 💀
Only reason Bootlegger is better than Booties: "Impress women!"
IDK guys, I still think that weapon reskins in TF2 feels like a strange case to me
Nice Video!
I don't know if this is all that wide-spread, but the majority of Bread Bite users I see tend to be Hoovies who use it as a goofy-looking alternative to the Holiday Punch. Not sure if anyone but me has ever experienced this, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway.
I never thought I would be targeted by a stereotype. But the Nessie's Nine Iron hit the mark. DAM YOU!!!!!
I use the Max hat and Lugermorph because...I just like sam and max
only thing that would make this better was to put "how it feels to be a weapon reskin stereotype"
now i can say IM YOUR 250TH SUB!
The bootlegger is primarily uaed hy people who use the Tide Turner, and not in the goos way either. They think they tend to rock pirate looking cosmetics and try to replicate solar light level clips, but the best they can manage is just that one trimp in degroot keep
I clicked on this video though “wow soundsmith sounded so different” then I realized this wasn’t sound smith.
If soundsmith entered a soundsmith wannabe contest he would finish second to this
First clip, i'ma tooooo druck team switchy things
This was so convincing I thought soundsmith rebranded
When you first said only bad pybros use the Maul I was worried you were gonna say by going off and abandoning the engie, good to see some people understand how pyros actually help engies
Great video in general, both in continuing the stereotypes and in execution
I unboxed a strange apoco fists the other day and now almost exclusively do exactly what you described when I play heavy lmao
you're doing god's work bless you
Got me with the thumbnail ngl
8:23 I do have a a strange The shooting star and name it Ray gun mark 4 ( dialogue: Made from New Zealand
Oh you poor fool.
Lovely video!
I use the Bootlegger with the Zombie cosmetic, since that gives Demo 2 feet instead of a wooden leg.
I don’t know if that’s a stereotype, but hey, it’s something.
WHAT IN THE EVER-LOVING LORD IS THAT VIEWMODEL FOV
i love it when people put effort into a shit posts makes it 10 times funnier lmao
Tf2 video reskins have always been a strange case to me
13:28 flashbacks to the guy that had literal cp on his CO
I do love it when the algorithm drops a random with next to no subs into my recommended, props for putting in the extra care and attention to an effective point even up to the meta level, well played.
Your other content is pretty solid too, I hope the site realizes this and pushes you to more people, ideally at a pace you find reasonable :v
You have done a funny. A very good funny. Goodjob
I had a black rose
I turned it into scrap metal and now everyone flexes on me
I am a proud owner of a legitimate black rose
Mike Ehrmantraut-decalled Objector signs are the best melee in my opinion
I dont remember when i got the black rose but there was only me and another player in the server if i remember correctly
ah yes, Great Smith
