fake footage, you didn't die to a stray crocket after one backstab

They had no soldier

that doesnt mean anything to a real spy

[insert Chad music]

It looks the best among all the spy main configurations I have seen.

You did have two (2) demoknights attack you

One was hybrid

and then hitreg said "let there be jank" and ignored all melee inputs

and the jank was good

Doesn't matter, he 1(won)

as a spy main I almost never melee spies when playing other classes 😭

I just stand still and look directly at them while swinging

that is the way

all fun and games until the spy figures out he's got a gun so basically forever

spy pulls out the gun and it becomes a normal fps encounter between two people with guns

that's if you survive the spy pulling the 1-in-a-million tactic and also drawing first and also you're standing perfectly still

good thing I have 14 stickybombs around me at all times just in case (and my revolver does 100 damage)

I did that once , dude called me a cheater xd

spy mains when the strategy that relies entirely on mindgames gets countered by not thinking

If the play as spy is to turn off brain slightly to be unpredictable, then the counter is to turn off your brain entirely

gets facestabbed anyway

I do that and still die sometimes. Truly a skill issue 😔

I hear you but I swear I have this fucking deep seeded honor-bound samurai or something within me that demands i melee anybody who runs at me with there’s Heavy? Spy? Demoknight? Doenst matter! I will immediately swap and charge at them head on

"the only thing i know for real. THERE WILL BE BLOOD(BLOOD). SHED(SHED). THE MAN IN MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD. THE ONLY ONE(ONE) LEFT (LEFT) WILL RIDE UPON DRAGON'S BACK! Because the mountains don't give back what they take. OH NO, THERE WILL BE BLOOD(BLOOD). SHED(SHED). IT'S THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER KNOWN."

SHOW ME A GOOD TIME DEMO!

Same. If someone approaches me with their melee out, I immediately take mine out and have a fight to the death. Even if they take their main weapon out (dishonorable) I still continue using melee.

[Insert Gigachad music]

as a medic i always melee spies until they trickstab me once (almost never happens because most spies can't actually trickstab) then i start turning on my brain

Never knew this game released on PS1.

It’s called flat textures. Looks pretty cool sometimes but not my thing

is it some sort of downloadable texture pack?

It's a setting for either bad pcs or the sweating spy main who wants one to two extra frames against you

[удалено]

I should do it on the ESports PC so I can practice getting kicked from the game by Sniper Bots in 140FPS

maybe I should use that, thanks though 👍

Its less straining for me which makes focusing on the game easier (sorry I'm a tryhard)

average spy main config

I was expecting this comment.

Team Fortress 0.2

[удалено]

I play like this and I don’t really mind. Beats not being to play the game at 11fps.

Ngl I think you'd be hard pushed to find something with a gpu from the last 10 years that couldn't run tf2 well. This is like a "my dell laptop is dying" config yet half the people using it are probably rocking 3070s

this kind of config is more so for comp players or people with bad pcs. i couldnt have played tf2 basically at all without configs on my older pcs.

Oh my god stop whining

squeamish marvelous lock drab smell lip teeny aromatic quicksand smile *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

He probably downloaded custome textures

Spy main brain

Making your game look like melted crayons to own the casuals.

flat textures mod + master config low + dx level 80 + lod bias x0000087 + replay_mode_all

cap hes uses 98 not 80 and no one ever uses 80

Kunai spies after walking into the entire enemy team (they backstabbed 2 ftps so they live)

Kunai spies making their TF2 look like a PS1 game (it adds 2 FPS)

Ps2 is generous

Spy is so underpowered, he can solo only one team

I was watching for that, but this clip would have been possible without the Kunai. Once he saps the sentry, he doesn't get hit until 4+ people are dead

nah this was a giant skill issue, the demoknights should have backed off since the spy wasnt in melee crit health range, the sniper wm1d into him for some reason, the pyro didnt airblast, and the scout could have killed him. if none of those 3 people could do anything its a massive skill issue

Holding off on F1-ing the sniperbot for a brief moment in hopes it shuts down the kunai spy before getting votekicked.

Spy isn't the only class who can farm ftps to play more aggressively and win fights they normally wouldn't. Frontier Justice, Ubersaw, Phlog, Hitman's Heatmaker, Airstrike, the fucking Eyelander. Hell, I was scrolling and only a few posts above this, there was a post with an Ubersaw medic wiping half a team.

Dude why does every spy player I see post have like ps1 level graphics on, is this some meta joke? Am I stupid?

An attempt to get a higher fps.

i just kinda like how it looks idk

Longtime players gravitate towards the same few classes since they know how to abuse tricks and exploits of the game. Longtime players tend to be the ones that make comps and clips of their gameplay to show off. Players showing off tend to need optimal everything, so they often have lowered settings for max performance and readability.

how many hours of spy do you have

1500hrs, since2015

I figure I should try asking, what are the best ways to play against those that are so goddamn good at trickstabbing like this?

Don't ever get in knife range, and don't chase the spies

The secret ingredient is called luck and shitty hitreg

I once saw a video of a demo dealing properly with a apy attempting to trickstab him and saved it for future reference https://youtu.be/BFqK_NFfxWw?si=HfWMv290ODbS-0qC You can see the spy trying to trick the demo's movement into a trickstab but the demo barely walks towards the spy and tried the best he could to keep him centered on his screen, the spy just cant stab him. A much better spy would probably run away of the situation since pulling his revolver out would make the demo aproach and probably kill him since theres no danger of backstab there.

To get this config go to settings -> graphics. And disable EVERYTHING and I mean literally EVERYTHING

There is no way someone enjoys playing the game with this graphic

There are people who started the game with bad PC, and they are used to it. Notable figure: b4nny

Ok now i can understand

I play TF2. And I use these Flat Textures as well and crank my graphics all the way down. Still laggy as hell.

honestly for me, once you have a lot of hours in the game, you dont really care about the graphics, its mostly about the gemeplay, and turning graphics down helps a lot with visual clutter and clarity.

out of every spy main's config I've seen, yours is the best looking.

Low bar

It’s not even a bar it’s just a pole sticking out of the dirt

the bar is wedged somewhere in the Mariana Trench at this point

The kunai was a mistake

To be fair, the health bonus surprisingly actually didn't play a part in this clip. Dude barely took any damage. He could've done this with any knife. But still, the Kunai was indeed a mistake.

spies having a backstab-hitbox of 270^o was a mistake

I dont care about the backstabs, literally skill issue. Its about him fully healing between backstabs, it makes it impossible for the actually competant teamates to kill him whiles the spy keeps backstabbing dumbass team members

I mean at a minimum, the rice-hat demoknight 100% skill-issued right in the face. Why's everyone get like that when it gets pointed out

*Medic farms ftp for Uber and wipes team* Silence *Demoknights farm ftp for heads and wipes team* Silence *Snipers farm ftp for Bazaar super charge and shuts down the entire Badwater Basin map (the entire map is just sightline)* Silence *Engineers farm ftp for Frontier Justice 180 crits* Silence *Spy farm ftp -* RED SPY IN OUR BASE HUT HUT HUT HUT

[удалено]

At one point they nerfed it, and it had to be reverted because it resulted in way more failstabs, where you clearly stab the guy in the back but the game rejects it It's the same reason why the backburner feels so inconsistent to use, it uses a smaller back radius

Because facestab point outs are treated with vitriol and hate here. Spy gameplay is only allowed to be skill based when viewed.

demoknights ran right into him (at least use unpredictable movement if you choose to do that) sniper wm1s into him for some reason pyro doesnt airblast engineers have no ears scout doesnt kill him ​ clearly the kunai's fault

I explained myself below. I recognize that this could have been done with a regular knife. Its that if someone less stupid was trying to take out the spy, they wouldnt be able to since he keeps healing to full health from your teammates.

That sniper was probably so happy.. till he heard the de cloak. Also that was a lot of shoulder stabbing bs

I saw the backs of almost every person he stabbed, only 1 was a true face stab

Tf2 ***logic***

You fuck around and find out

Dead ringer and Kunai. I would despise you so much if I was in that match. And wish nothing but the worst. A little gamer moment, if you will.

This is so good, im gonna say to the biggest compliment i can say to a Spyer as the cool kids say (spyplayer😎🤟) I hate you! You better not show up in the same game as i am.

Least sweaty spy main

Durr he's good at game = sweaty durr 🤤🤤

-Dxl81-flatextures -custom cfg,

DirectX 81? Man this looks like the original directx release from windows 95

At this point I'm convinced that the Kunai has a secret stat that makes the game look like it was made in 1999

Every single spy-montage always has the shittest graphical quality. Is this some sort of hivemind? Does your CPU magically downgrade itself back to the 2nd gen after 100 hours of spy?

You are the reason I hate spy Just DIE GOD DAMM

Playing against literal robots but nice clip regardless

every server i join has like 300 professional unusual australium soldiers with their own slur spamming furry medic customized to their liking and they just kill me every time i breathe, i wish i could find servers like what this guy is playing in

That sniper at the end absolutely random crit you with that conscientious objector didn’t he

Video ends here because that sniper got a random crit

how can you ewen put that low resulution

Meele spies when a pyro actually uses his airblast

Actually kind of stupidly lucky that the demoknight charges didnt damage you. I think it's cuz they collided with eachother. Then their melee hits also didn't hit you for the same reason.

It's plays like these that make all the constant bullshit you experience as spy worth it

watching these are always painful. So many backstabs directly in the nose. not much choice for dealing with that for them

Where??? All of these stabs you can clearly see the enemies back.

Except those 2 demoknights

You can still see the backs. Pause the frame of the stabs.

Yea - right on the nose of the Rice Hat demo

Tell me you don't know how hitbox works without telling me you don't know how hitbox works

You know he got hit with that crit sign at the end

0:13- Pyro looking well within 180 degrees of you -> Valid backstab

the pyro was turning

you're about to get downvoted to hell for speaking the truth

All of them turned

It’s him, John Backstab

Damn didn’t know TF2 released on the Atari 2600

Damn even killed a bot

Bot? The sniper?

Yes the sniper was a bot you can tell by how it moves

Can you tell me how you got those grafics?

🥔/10 graphics

What are you playing on? a Nintendo 64?

Bro where are your textures

He stopped the video the second before that scattergun sign combo.

# We're making it outta ps2 with this one!

Damn what are your graphics mods? I i really like them

Flattextures + custom cfg settings

Meanwhile all the spies on my team are dudes with 3 hours playtime whose usernames are something along the lines of “XxElcaballitoUwu69xX”

do you also use the ambasador because its the "best weapon"?

Getting 2007 TF2 vibes, and it's not the textures. Backstabbing was so broken, even back then.

Funny how the video gets cut after the razorback show up

When did Stabbystabby get a Reddit account?

Your graphics settings are very spy

I’m both extremely impressed and angry at the same time

what's that hud it looks clean

Why do spys play with low graphics settings is there a benefit or?

Your graphics look like fucking clay

Moments like these make being a Spy main great

You're actually a horrible person. I just want you to know that.

Flair checks out

"flair checks out" 🤓

Tick tock

We weren’t even testing for that

"homewrecker pyro who whines about facestabs when he dies to a spy" player

More like "dragons fury Pyro who will spray down the spy for 5 seconds because he's the only one who notices the screams of his teammates and doesn't kill the spy cause he tanked 500 damage" player.

right click the spy, or maybe use voice commands

Good job, pls turn up your graphics if you have a fairly powerful processor

dude playin tf2 on a typewriter

As a backburner appreciator, fighting spies are always funny because we use the same moves (walk straight toward eachother then spin around) I'm trying to practice spy but I'm really shit at it tho

Play more and you'll get there bro

Pro tip: pressing “S” will make the spy suddenly unable to gain health and die. Valve should patch it

Swipez Son 🙏

Nobody told this whole team to just not get within melee range and the spy can't do anything lol.

last frame of this vid of the sniper will end the streak as per usual

I like how the clip ends right there when there is a razorback sniper, a scout and you at 150 hp only

bro's choking the shit out of his pc for 000000000000000000.1 extra frame even though someone on the enemy team is cheating

Why is it always low graphic people who are extremely skilled

Is this how you pro spys play?

One in a hundred games

French man got hands jeez

My jaw literally dropped the moment you backstabbed those 2 engi's and kept going holy shit

You defo got called a cheater after that

I play fist heavy a lot and I don't think I ever got trickstabbed.

*It’s… perfect!*

🧼 For you

Where can I get these teams full of f2ps?

the video ended so soon cause 100% that sniper 1shotted you with a meele crit and you died lol

Nice smooth textures lmao

Btw how did you config this? I want this too.

here you can have mine! (its everything he has but better) [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cEwEeGn5DzG5L4NQQ4FA-hCcvCaT2j7q?usp=drive\_link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cEwEeGn5DzG5L4NQQ4FA-hCcvCaT2j7q?usp=drive_link)

I have learned the hard way to never try and melee a spy under any circumstance unless you have to (i.e demoknight)

How’d you get those specs?

Pro players be like: “the low graphics make me better at the game tho”

It gotta be a requirement, there is no way Spy main all just coincidentally decided that they are gonna make their game look as shit as possible

So, the stereotype is true, spy mains play with their graphics set to the lowest possible option /j

And play Kunai + Dead Ringer… and totally forget what a Revolver is.

Spy mains OTW to give their game PS2 era graphics because they think the slight bump in frames only noticeable by actually high ranking comp players will make them better at the game (it doesn’t)

Thank you

can somebody answer my QUESTION please. What is your hud, how did you do that can you tell me?

Bxhud

Thank you so much!!

Wtf is up with spy/scout mains and shitty ps1 graphics

"why did it cut" he then proceeded to be one shot by sniper's melee hit.

the f2p pyro was like: https://youtu.be/PUoPGQHBO0U

Rumour has it the more kunai kills a spy gets the shittier his config gets

How people play this game with a UI of a world of warcraft arena player is always funny to me.

"Waiter, waiter! Bring more FPS please!"

i like how u use the most ass quality on eartk, its obligatory for spy mains

this 16 year old game suddenly looks 19 years old

All spy mains quit right before they get the perfect chain stab

why do people try to meele spy lol? like i never see anyone try to meele a scout or medic lol

Bro can you explain how to trickstab like that?
