I clicked on a timestamp that sent me to the beginning of the video after I first watched it and checked out the comments, and just... found myself watching the whole video again. Right away. You did a good job.
Once, i was playing as engineer and there was this enemy spy who was always killing me and i got him with my shotgun and when he died, i used the laugh taunt.. And then.. He had the dead ringer.. Well. I deserved it.
You vs spy: unstoppable killing machine that's always behind you You as spy: suddenly entire enemy team gains wallhack and knows where you are at all times
But spawning wallhacks are actually a thingm and they're a nightmare to deal with not because they're unfair (they are), but because you dont know who has seen you when and where.
It worths nothing that being invisible doesn't always increase your survival chances. Very often you get killed by accident just because you had the bad luck of crossing between a sniper and your teammate.
That priority list is pretty accurate, except when you're Medic, then it goes along the lines of: 1 - Don't get backstabbed. 2 - Don't get headshot. 3 - Curse your luck to hell and back when your team can't seem to understand the concept that in order to heal them, they have to stay *nearby* .
well, unless its a soldier, or for some reason a scout or MAYBE a demo, you will always have the means to follow them as you have an above average move speed, so Demo, Heavy, Pyro, Sniper, Spy, other Medics, and Engie are all easy to heal, plus most of the time if you just need to quickly heal them, a soldier will usually stay mostly in place for a couple seconds before rocket jumping away, and a scout.. well scout there is never really a middle ground, either theyre already dead or are pretty much not damaged at all
@@edenengland1883 Mhm, except when you have a functioning brain and don't want to follow them into a hopeless situation, but you at least want to heal them before they do something stupid.
I had some absolute chad scout in a Casual Community Server Control Point game. I had recently disguised and was acting suspicious. This absolute legend began fake shooting at me and I started to fake counter strafe to sell the disguise. The team bought it and I got a triple chain stab including a Medic, Demo and Soldier. I think this single action turned the game. Never underestimate how a few key picks can change the game, help your fellow spies to make this happen
Me as spy: "See this guy's found me out, but I found out that he's found me out, and I found out that I lack the mechanical skill to pull of a matador, and he found out that I am defenseless, and I found out that I'm dead"
@@kit-cats-on-mars except if it were death note's finale it would be "this guy's found me out, but he hasn't found out that i've found out that he's found me out and i have a master plan and then SIKE he has found out that i've found out that he's found me out and then i die"
Germans call this the "invisible hand" theory. It describes the fact people most likely take a shortcut over grass than walk on the path to save even the smallest amount of time. Same is applied to the way people talk. Building upon this there are a few related theories explaining when people just colloquial language, full sentences or shortcuts to deliver a message. TLDR is people will only search areas that are on a path including shortcuts but not useless corners
I utilized this theory and I was able to get away from a lot of people, even pyro mains. It's hilarious just watching them go the most obvious route when in reality, I took a route they never suspect.
What I love about Lazy’s How it feels series is you can literally have absolutely zero hours in TF2 and still get an immense amount of enjoyment from these videos. Someone like me who has literally NEVER touched TF2 comes back to watch this fantastic series all the time. LazyPurple you deserve all the recognition you get and much more.
Exactly! This video in particular got me into playing Tf2 from time to time, and you should try it whenever possible. Because of these videos I managed to do quite well in pubs on my first time because I knew the basics of every class. These videos are the best tutorial videos on UA-cam right now
@@warpey5632 He was right. I'm French and the word "chou-fleur" is masculine. So we really say Mon petit chou-fleur. Fleur is feminine and chou is masculine but idk why we count it masculine. And chou has an x only when there are plenty of cabbages
Anthony Lo the glitch is that in the og team fortress there was a glitch that made you look like any class when you were actually a different one. The tf devs thought “oh wow this is a good idea!” and made it into a class.
Fun Fact: Spy was never a class in the original Quake Team Fortress at first. The idea of a Spy only came about due to a visual bug that would cause players to appear with the wrong class model and/or the enemy team colors.
“And when you pick spy, you’re basically announcing to the entire server that you think you’re smarter than everyone else” I’m a spy main but I know how much of a dumbass I am. It just feels good to get those rare moments where you manage to fool people and then land a backstab
Happens literally all the time, I can switch to spy, get behind enemy lines and walk towards the enemy like I came from spawn and suddenly everyone is shooting me or someone decides at that moment to switch to pyro and only spy check even though no one on the enemy team was doing that until I switched to spy.
@@Owenbot3000 Yep found that out the hard way, has been so fucking hard to communicate when we get flanked or when I find a spy. Who'd of thought taking out the VC and quick messages in a TEAM BASED GAME would be so tragic. And no I'm not spending money on a game like TF2, I like it so far but not having the chat unless you but was already enough to turn me away from it
3:22 this happened to me while I first played TF2 I was a sniper, and both me and the spy pretending to be me came across each other, we had a small staring contest before he shot me in the face
Once a demo was in their intel setting sticky traps on the intels doors and he fooled and killed me with a sticky trap. BUT, i was using dead ringer so i went back a bit and switched to an engineer disguise and then pretended to be a friendly and he told me to build a dispenser and i said yes and it took a while for him to give me an opportunity but i backstabed him without him suspecting me. It was PERFECT. I will always remember that moment. Another time i was in swiftwater and i was trying to sap their teles at their spawn and a sniper noticed me and started chasing me so i switched disguise again and again like 4 times while he was chasing me and then i stopped got my revolver out and shot him, it was a critical hit. That is another PERFECT moment i will always remember.
One of my craziest moments killing a spy was I was playing pyro right and I air blasted a rocket from a soldier and I KID YOU NOT IT KILLED A INVISIBLE SPY
Once there was a goddamn spy who was camping every spot for clean backstabs, trickstabs when he needed too. He never taunts or use his disguise kit. I feel quite sorry for him because he dominated everyone and got 238 points, He still lost due to the performance of his team. I hope his Trickstabs will help his next few matches and hopefully me too!
I've wanted to make this video for years, but didn't know how. Now I don't have to--beautiful video. Thanks for the shout-out, but more importantly, thanks for summing up the joy of my favorite hobby so well
"Valve implimented this strange thing called a VOICE CHAT SYSTEM-" And then took it away from all the free players who can't even call out for a medic.
"Without the spy, TF2 would never be the same" Well, without any class TF2 would never be the same, all the classes have such unique personalities and mechanics that complete the game
@Fernando Alvarado Sniper is not unique and is not that fun to play against unless you're A. playing spy, B. playing scout (on certain maps) or C. playing engineer (with wrangler) and the sniper isn't that good.
Sniper is a direct counter to: Medic, Heavy, Pyro, Engi Sniper is countered by: Spy 4:1 Counters/Countered. take another class, say... Soldier (the most popular main) Soldier counters: Engi, Scout, Spy (sort of? due to splash damage) Soldier is countered by: Pyro, Heavy. 1:1 Counters / Is Countered By And another, say... Engi. Engi Counters: Scout, Pyro, Heavy (Somewhat, due to his sentry's pretty hefty minigun resist and the wrangler) Countered by: Soldier, Demo, Medic 1:1.5 Counters/Countered And another, say... Scout Scout Counters: Demoman, Medic Countered by: Soldier, Engi. 1:1 Counters/Countered. See my point now?
Things that can counter Spy: People that check literally every corner Another Spy The person that you're disguised as People that spycheck literally everyone The fact that it takes forever to uncloak Pyro Pyro Pyro Pyro Pyro Pyro Pyro A Pyro
Not being able to call for a medic is a bit annoying but not being able to call out spy is a pain in the ass like if they're camping and pop out to kill someone every now and then and I can't tell anyone also not being able to ask an engineer to build a dispenser or sentry
Happy Nub14 Ahh yes, the one weakness thanks to pyro’s gas mask. But let’s be honest, if pyro was to have his mask off, his English, or French, or whatever language he speaks would sound like he or she is 6 or more or less.
Mhm. I turn around and stare at the Spy - I get stabbed. I take Pyro, I burn him with flames, following at a safe distance - I get stabbed. I say there's a Spy - all my team gets stabbed one by one, each saying there's a Spy. No counter to bug-stab. Except for being me. Then no bugs, perfect game. I play Spy, I run at a Heavy's back, I bump him to make sure there's no issue with distance, my hand raises, I press and do simple melee attack. Once, twice, then he turns around and kills me, making me look like an idiot. And then a Demonite kills me at a distance of flamethrower with his sword. So, to summarize it, no matter who's got high ping and who's got low ping, I can't hit people point-blank while others hit me with melee 3 meters away and can facestab me even when I face them and run BACKFUCKINGWARDS. It means away. It means they cannot have any access to my back. But does it work for me? No. Following a slower class does not give me a fake delayed hitbox. Wonderful balance. Garbage, delete, never regret.
This spy has already breached our defenses You've seen what he's done to our colleagues And worst of all, he could be any one of us He could be in this very room! He could be you! He could be me! He could even be- *right behind you*
That epic gamer moment when TF2 is free to play, but you can't talk in voice chat, or even text chat, unless you spend money on the game. You can't even ask for a medic!
@@tdawgg6561 thats odd i legit dont remember that but then again i instantly bought a 1 dollar item from the shop so i didnt last long with no chat stuff
Don’t forget that there are other knives too! The best one to deal with sentries if you’re not able to do the Stab-And-Sap is Your Eternal Reward (YER), since when you backstab you will still be desguised, it is also perfect for groups of people, since YER kills people silently. The Big Earner (TBE) is perfect if you want a semi glass cannon strat and be fast as hell. Or there’s the Conniver’s Kunai (CK) that is good for a completely amazing Spy clip
this happened to me once, the enemy spy disguised as his medic and literally stands behind his team with the dead ringer but I stabbed him (after jungle inferno so he died) I was like: excuse me? and the other medic was ALL THE WAY back and he ended up ubering the heavy and we lost the cart
I love these series of videos, not only are they funny, include really good animation, they aren't really bias, they make every class look like a ton of fun to play, while also offering criticism on them. Wonderfully done!
@@fluffiestgamer51 he used cloak and dagger, you unlock it after getting spy milestone two and it makes it so you drain cloak faster when walking normally, slower when crouching, and you gain cloak by staying still with it
I just wanna say that nearly three years ago, this video came up in my suggested and without any experience of what tf2 was or how the spy worked I watched the entire thing. This was the video that kickstarted my love of this game, thank you so much lazy
Heavy: OHHHH RUNNNN RUNNNN Spy: no u **Heavy dies** Then later... Spy: May I make a suggestion? _run._ Heavy: no u **Spy dies** It all comes full circle

Cheaters killing own team at spawn. Wipe after wipe. Wow, I didn't think the game could be more shit but you prove me wrong. It's not total cancer yet.
talk anyways; people shouldn't give a shit on the internet, and you'll probably never see them again anyways. games are the best time to not care about insecurities.
@@mrdeadmemes No, it's definitely 8. He fires 2 pipes off then switches to the stickybomb launcher and launches 2 stickies then he turns to face the spy and fires the final 6 under his feet and then reloads. The swap from grenade launcher to stickybomb launcher is way smoother than it should be and there is no sound effect for the launching of the first 2 stickies so I understand why you were mistaken.
I remember watching this video when first getting into tf2 and not knowing that the cloak and dagger was an unlockable weapon, and I just stood around while cloaked and made myself look like an idiot thinking that's how the invis watch worked Almost 1,200 hours later and I still don't own a cloak and dagger
You're by far one of the best content creators out there nowadays. You make points that aren't bullsh*t and reason them really well. You show tricks and Tips by using them yourself or by telling them to us and Your editing is just outright amazing. Keep it up your great.
6:40 basically spy's plan "All of you will attack from the front and while your being slaughtered ill flank him taking him from behind and securing the kill"
I can tell you backstabbing a medic while there healing you is one of the best feelings, I was literally 7 hp then tricked a medic into healing me, then proceeded to my first trick stab in my life
@Logan Kline thanks dude! also it WAS on a roblox clone because my mom said I can't play tf2 but hey more impressive because agent's backstabbing is a lot stricter like instead of like 180 degrees to backstab you need to be 90 degrees to backstab
I kid you not. I was standing next to the stairs at the start of upward. A pyro walked next to me, got stuck going up the stairs because of me, and didnt even think to check to see why he got stuck. I think you were onto something.
When I'm going to try and explain spy to someone who has never played TF2 before, this is the video I'm going to be sending. It's perfectly edited, the humor is on point and it also informs them. 10/10.
@@boredpaprika5681 that clip is using a diffrent “I am the” line. The one lazy uses is the “I am the deadliest man I know” combined with “it seems i am not the only spy”
Okay, I'm gonna be honest. Spy's implied death in the opening animation is so beautifully poetic. He's just backstabbed the Medic in full view of the enemy team, all of whom had just been demanding said Medic's attention shortly before. They're all gunning for him at once now, rage plainly evident on their faces and vengeance on their minds. The Spy knows he's about to die. And what does he do? With seconds left of his life, he smirks at a job well done, and casually flicks his last cigarette on the Medic's corpse, not even giving his enemies the satisfaction of looking him in the eye, right before he is completely blown to smithereens by the BLU Team. "Magnificent", indeed.
I remember watching this when it was released and I was stunned about how high quality this was. It's amazing to go back and watch this again, and then to see how much you were able to improve on these already great videos.
Spy is crazy OP in the right hands. The completely never ending God mode invisibility is the factor that makes him OP. Trying to play CTF and 15 people choose spy is such an unbearable game. Now that I think about it, why would anyone run anything other than spy? You can team wipe the quickest with a bunch of spies. META
Until you meet the one gut that plays soldier/pyro/heavy/scout/jarate-sniper/engie/demo who stands near the corner, and then just shoots once you round it after him. Then you're dead.
if you immediately pause at 3:16 you'll see the sniper inside the red base, he probably materialized because you were constantly checking to see an opening in the medic to stab so the sniper managed to close the gap

@@vert3432 what do you mean sniper is not that good
Sniper is a direct counter to: Medic, Heavy, Pyro, Engi
Sniper is countered by: Spy
4:1 Counters/Countered.
take another class, say... Soldier (the most popular main)
Soldier counters: Engi, Scout, Spy (sort of? due to splash damage)
Soldier is countered by: Pyro, Heavy.
1:1 Counters / Is Countered By
And another, say... Engi.
Engi Counters: Scout, Pyro, Heavy (Somewhat, due to his sentry's pretty hefty minigun resist and the wrangler)
Countered by: Soldier, Demo, Medic
1:1.5 Counters/Countered
And another, say... Scout
Scout Counters: Demoman, Medic
Countered by: Soldier, Engi.
1:1 Counters/Countered.

EXACTLY! I can't even call out medic or spy just for someone to save me.
Yes
it's kinda bullshit that they remove the Z, X, and C buttons too, IT WASN'T A PROBLEM AT ALL
This is why i only play community servers tbh
Not being able to call for a medic is a bit annoying but not being able to call out spy is a pain in the ass like if they're camping and pop out to kill someone every now and then and I can't tell anyone also not being able to ask an engineer to build a dispenser or sentry
Spy’s weakness: pyros, turning around, and voice chat
*voice chat*
Happy Nub14 Ahh yes, the one weakness thanks to pyro’s gas mask. But let’s be honest, if pyro was to have his mask off, his English, or French, or whatever language he speaks would sound like he or she is 6 or more or less.
*bazinga*
Mhm. I turn around and stare at the Spy - I get stabbed. I take Pyro, I burn him with flames, following at a safe distance - I get stabbed. I say there's a Spy - all my team gets stabbed one by one, each saying there's a Spy. No counter to bug-stab. Except for being me. Then no bugs, perfect game. I play Spy, I run at a Heavy's back, I bump him to make sure there's no issue with distance, my hand raises, I press and do simple melee attack. Once, twice, then he turns around and kills me, making me look like an idiot. And then a Demonite kills me at a distance of flamethrower with his sword. So, to summarize it, no matter who's got high ping and who's got low ping, I can't hit people point-blank while others hit me with melee 3 meters away and can facestab me even when I face them and run BACKFUCKINGWARDS. It means away. It means they cannot have any access to my back. But does it work for me? No. Following a slower class does not give me a fake delayed hitbox. Wonderful balance. Garbage, delete, never regret.

Don’t forget that there are other knives too! The best one to deal with sentries if you’re not able to do the Stab-And-Sap is Your Eternal Reward (YER), since when you backstab you will still be desguised, it is also perfect for groups of people, since YER kills people silently. The Big Earner (TBE) is perfect if you want a semi glass cannon strat and be fast as hell. Or there’s the Conniver’s Kunai (CK) that is good for a completely amazing Spy clip

Gohro that is solely because he is hard to hit because of his speed.
Actually pyro is easy because a pyro thinks spies are afraid of them and don’t turn around often, just kill the pyro early

@@mrdeadmemes No, it's definitely 8. He fires 2 pipes off then switches to the stickybomb launcher and launches 2 stickies then he turns to face the spy and fires the final 6 under his feet and then reloads. The swap from grenade launcher to stickybomb launcher is way smoother than it should be and there is no sound effect for the launching of the first 2 stickies so I understand why you were mistaken.

Okay, I'm gonna be honest.
Spy's implied death in the opening animation is so beautifully poetic.
He's just backstabbed the Medic in full view of the enemy team, all of whom had just been demanding said Medic's attention shortly before. They're all gunning for him at once now, rage plainly evident on their faces and vengeance on their minds. The Spy knows he's about to die.
And what does he do?
With seconds left of his life, he smirks at a job well done, and casually flicks his last cigarette on the Medic's corpse, not even giving his enemies the satisfaction of looking him in the eye, right before he is completely blown to smithereens by the BLU Team.

Spy is crazy OP in the right hands. The completely never ending God mode invisibility is the factor that makes him OP. Trying to play CTF and 15 people choose spy is such an unbearable game. Now that I think about it, why would anyone run anything other than spy? You can team wipe the quickest with a bunch of spies. META
Until you meet the one gut that plays soldier/pyro/heavy/scout/jarate-sniper/engie/demo who stands near the corner, and then just shoots once you round it after him. Then you're dead.
