I'm so happy that you started uploading again, your gameplay is always top notch entertaining and your selection of music is always on point with my taste! :D
How do you actually do those stabs that are basically from the front? The kill at 0:26 is such a facestab that there is no way you calculated that would be a backstab (he's looking RIGHT AT YOU on YOUR SCREEN). If I saw that in-game I would claim cheats. Is it your interp settings?
I stab predictively, based off "feel", I don't wait for the raised knife. The kill at 0:26 felt right to me, I was not going for a shank (wouldn't make much sense to do that...). I use cl_interp .0152, basically the minimum value.
It is absolutely calculated. The scout was flicking around really fast. The calculation isn't done from that tiny movement at the end. That can be ignored. The spy didn't predict that rotation, but just approached it as a cornerstab, and the rotation aligned well enough with that. Model rotation is delayed, which is why this looks weird.
It's something to do with the servers and the players seeing different things. The reason facestabs happen is because the server didn't register that they turned around as quickly as the player did, making tiny split second weird looking stabs like that. I think. (take with a grain of salt I don't know if I'm remembering correctly.)
@@stabbyvideo Thanks for the explanation, it still feels weird, like it is not intentional for Spy to be able to get those stabs if you know what I mean, I can't decide if I'm impressed or disgusted by the fact that you're pulling it off xD
you would know how this stab is a backstab, if you just watched slurgie/starykrow. it LOOKS like a face stab for two reasons. Number one: it's on the edge of the VERY GENEROUS hitbox. Number two: the world view model CAN be misleading, and is a milisecond behind. it's easier to tell where, say a pyro is looking, based on the tip of his flamethrower AND NOT his face, or shoulders. stop looking at their head/shoulders. they litterally mean nothing. yes. the face and shoulders litterally mean NOTHING
hey man, don't know if you'll ever see this but you got my really into spy and I am throughly enjoying it. Got my first trickstab today using the stairs to jump over a pursuing pyro because I saw you do it :)
I honestly didn't notice any laggy-ness before posting, but looking closely I think I can see what you're talking about. My guess is that this happens when skipping to frame in the demo editor...I'll be sure to check for this bug in the future and implement a workaround. Thanks for pointing out.
@@stabbyvideo Yee either that or you are a spy irl and you are playing from some hole in the dessert while undercover smh btw I think this is a bug for certain cpu's if I remember correctly but sometimes its just the demo file keep it up proud of you
3:41 Stabby, tell me how did you find this kind of player, Heavy literally just saw a spy trickstab all his team and just went "Yeah I will pretend I didn't see all that and give my back for the spy to stab too"
Amazing frags, hope you don't mind, I ended up getting the same kunai as you by coincidence (cerebral discharge manndarinn) and was wondering what you named yours, I don't really wanna "copy" you but you did inspire me to play spy, so I thought it would be nice. Great spy gameplay as always.
Stabby has reached the stage of experience where we can legitimately use the phrase for him: *"Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young."* He's become the Mike Ehrmantraut of TF2. 👍😎 (That old assassin in Breaking Bad, for those who might've forgotten) Get him on your team, and depending if you have a couple of brain cells per teammate and listen and pay attention to what he's doing and support him, you'll cruise on easy mode. Play against him, and prepare for frustration. 🤣
I like the maps featured in this video. Some of the maps have bugged textures or give me very bad frames, but I think they're all very aesthetically pleasing.
![[WORLD RECORD] Half-Life in 25:57 scriptless Speedrun](/img/n.gif)
That 1 hp heavy stab on that bridge actually made me hold my breath! Well played sir.
Really nice to see summer map frags!
Holy crap that surf stab off the heavy was nasty
So dirty
In this era of competent Spies mostly using the dead ringer, Stabby Stabby proves us that the cloak and dagger still has it's appeal.
he's using IW for most of these lol
@@pingew yeah and personally the relability of the IW makes spy more enticing to play imo
High level spy play is an art form.
The amount of skill (movement & timing), intuition & game knowledge you need to get these frags blows my mind.
ka BYYYY
imagine just playing tf2 and you roll to be (un)lucky enough to share a game with stabby
bro your trickstabs are so good, it's like you invented them or something
Old spy = good
1:27 funniest backpedal ive ever seen
Even after years and years of watching your content your skill on spy still amazes me. Love u stabby!
I'm so happy that you started uploading again, your gameplay is always top notch entertaining and your selection of music is always on point with my taste! :D
3:34 This dude really walked straight forward into an enemy team, and yet managed to stab them all
always a pleasure to see that stabbh has posted. my biggest inspiration to keep playing spy!
stabby*
@@pinkmoon0just edit the comment
the dead ringer read was unreal
Chill and relaxed summer vibe, I like it! Cool stabs.

terrific video stabby, absolutely running these games with the kunai
that last one was spicy
not me over here watching stabby to lear a few thing (turns out well too)
hey man, don't know if you'll ever see this but you got my really into spy and I am throughly enjoying it. Got my first trickstab today using the stairs to jump over a pursuing pyro because I saw you do it :)
3:11 nice
Your videos are each a work of art
I don't know how you survived being milked like that.
Disguising (or in this case disguising as a friendly spy to undisguise) removes the visibility of the milk effect
Bug remove particles effect upon change disguise 🥸
Still visible tho
@@ammi5311but it helps
wonder if there is anyway to fix the scuffed player models
:31
That is INSANE that everybody just walks right by
Scout directing him with the milk while he should have no idea about his position was more insane to me
Stabby. You are old spy. I'm started watching your videos several years ago.
love stabby's frags!
great clips as always, you ara one of the best spies ever imho, but listening to this music felt like stroke experience
_Live_
_Laugh_
_Love_
_STAB!_
Amazing as always, Stabby
more like laggy laggy, whats up with everyone teleporting? is it the demo?
demo always was like that mane

keep it up proud of you
What do you think of the new maps?
3:41 Stabby, tell me how did you find this kind of player, Heavy literally just saw a spy trickstab all his team and just went "Yeah I will pretend I didn't see all that and give my back for the spy to stab too"
i want to use your hud but tbh i dont like the hide names thing, how do i disable it?
I LOVE YOU STABBY
What in is watch do you use?
trickstab staby staby
That last stab was sus as fuck, stabby
Amazing frags, hope you don't mind, I ended up getting the same kunai as you by coincidence (cerebral discharge manndarinn) and was wondering what you named yours, I don't really wanna "copy" you but you did inspire me to play spy, so I thought it would be nice. Great spy gameplay as always.
his is just named "kunai"
@@pingew that's actually really funny, thanks for telling me, I doubt stabby would've responded
watching your vid since 2013.. Now I'm no longer play tf2
Why they all have the same name??
Love

How are spy mains real people
wat
i never understand the music
its good
Basically, it's always "chill" music. The only requirement.
Its not about understanding, its about feeling
@@flanante and i feel confused (in a good way)
Can’t believe I’ve watched you for a decade, it’s crazy. Glad I can be apart of the culture though.
