*Spy comes up behind an enemy* *about to backstab* Spy: Oh wait hold on *does noisy fancy balisong twirls* *enemy turns around*

[@elitemation]

The Celery Stick 101 yes

[@hughmungus99]

actually there used to be a really long animation for the spy taking out his knife and doing things just like you suggested but it was removed because of that exact reason. here is a video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4G9m3eKedx9f9U

[@hughmungus99]

@Copyrighted Image actually if you read the description of the video it is a mod but the mod is a remake of the original animation from TF2 beta

[@KARAENGVLOG]

Also if valve did the fancy twirl animation to backstab. I wonder how it looks like you trickstab the whole enemy team

In the Team Fortress 2 beta (I think) there's a video on it somewhere, the spy was going to have an animation to get to reverse grip, however, valve removed because they thought it was too "distracting"

BenjaminSteber thats not it he does the zen rolover

[@BenjaminSteber]

He does that before he flips it into the stab motion at the end of the video. Anyway, it turns out I was wrong about the second motion where he flips the knife to stabbing posture he just switches the grip.

[@sirifjfjdjsjdufjdjdjdcjcjd3157]

I thought the rollover was beginner lol

[@CyMations]

reason why spy doesnt do that is the knife raises up faster than doing the cool trick, and you really dont want to make a slow move in tf2 cuz its a fast paced game

[@doubledio3061]

CyMations to be fair , the beta deploy animation was longer and flashier , but was only replaced because it would " distract " people

[@Frozenhalo]

Also they'd have to make sounds for it which could be heard by the person you're about to backstab and blow your cover

[@noahharber4443]

yes because the spy is underpowered as it is

[@emeraldstudiosyt6298]

also because your enemies can hear you making does clicking sounds

[@RagingInsomniac]

It’s slow and fast paced

[@seaiscool3508]

“Yo this sick imma try this” “Oh wait i need to buy a knife first”

[@agentdelta569]

The move IS way cooler but would take longer, and the animation needs to be accurate to when the spy can back stab, its also why his unsheath animation when you swap to the knife is pretty simple compared to the original knife trick he did

[@15243james]

Agent Delta Hey Delta

[@gaymerbrando]

supposedly he DID use to do this super flashy trick when going for a backstab, but valve changed it because it was too distracting

[@kinetic.vibe.]

It wasn't because it was distracting, it was because they changed the weapon switch speed to be faster on all classes.

i love how detailed he is-definetly my fav. butterfly knife youtuber

[@fgcyt3944]

To anyone having trouble, I tried hovering my index finger directly above the part that I had it on originally. You also have to wait for both handles to point straight up to pull your finger out. Basically just watch the slow motion again

[@markedwards1033]

You have the best balisong tutorial channel. Thank you.

[@louisvuitton1859]

I actually ended up combining the double roll out with your move "the spy" so you can actually open it into the ice pick position. Very cool!

[@genericmanchild]

try doing double rollover to backhand twirl to helix (helix includes this move, i think) then to an icepick aerial (might stab fingers due to blade momentum, dont actually do this)

[@wicknflint5263]

Man, It's so hard to remove index finger. I was trying about few hundred times and it wasnt going too well

[@pegglethon4553]

Fun fact; Spy actually did originally have a trick animation before his actual backstab "stance", however it was cut from the game for practicality reasons. You can see it in the pre-launch trailer, alongside Scout's cut Nailgun primary, Medic's syringe, and Demoman's dynamite bundle. The more you know.

[@dropkickcorpse]

Jason Griffin I also ran into this problem and usually ended up holding the knife upside-down by the safe handle with my fingers perpendicular to the knife. I needed my fingers (especially my index finger) to be parallel to the knife so the bite handle could swing up. I found a trick to removing the index finger out on time by: 1)holding lower on the handle with last 3 fingers and keeping the index finger stretched straight and at a 45° angle facing compared to Big Flips 90° index finger and higher grip w/ last 3 fingers at 1:52. 2) Then throw the bite handle with blade in tow over the stretched index finger and surprisingly it will still roll over and pop out of the way naturally and you'll catch the handles with the web of your thumb/index.

[@anthonymolina4777]

loser

[@l00nyt00ny]

I almost gave up when I first tried it and not pushing it all at once worked for me I think the stress builds up inside you if you try it too long which can lead to not focusing or shakey hands so just take it slow

[@leog6088]

For me I can only catch one handle and then the other one is on the all the way down. Any tips?

[@BigFlips]

yeah really focus on starting low and ending high. that will give you the most momentum. if you are really stuck just skip it and learn some other stuff and come back. some times you just need more time flipping to get more familiar with the knife

[@kingwotzit9648]

BULLSHIT

[@InkyBoiArts]

I think the only reason there isn’t the reverse index animation is because backstabs don’t need a raising animation to initiate, which is why chain stabs exist, and also why the Conniver’s Kunai is a basic murder health kit

[@Vadim__Blyat]

If he did that, the time between clicking and the actual kill would be way too long.

[@loginman2000]

Took me two days and a very bruised hand, but I got it down. That was a month ago. Still practicing it. Easy af now. I can even do it holding the bite handle with out getting cut... which is what I prefer because it actually puts the blade towards the enemy.

[@doswallo]

Great video! Interestingly enough, this is how Spy was originally going to get into position to backstab targets. The animation was too long, however, so it was scrapped and replaced with the boring, yet quicker motion.

[@Jacob-bk4md]

You are my favorite balisong "instructor" I guess I could say lol. You're videos are awesome

[@BigFlips]

great bro! thanks for watching!

[@penguinlord2837]

I finally got it down! For people who can't get it (like me,) the thing that helped was not doing it in one go. After you spin the knife around your index finger, try just catching the safe handle. After getting good at that, you can swing the bite handle up and catch it to finish. Once you get good at that, combine the two and you will have done the trick! Hope this has helped.

[@MementoMori7777]

Even with my very unsharpened knife I have put quite a few pricks in my hand on this one. Just adds to the fun of it.

[@masoncarveth]

I just started a few weeks ago so I can’t really do this trick, but I found a easier but not quite as cool way to do it. So you just switch you middle finger and pointer finger, so you can kinda grab safe handle in the end with your thumb and pointer finger. I was able to do it after just a minute.

[@ab-ng9tu]

really fun trick and a great tutorial! :)

[@itsjusttmanakatech1162]

I struggled for a while but I finally figured it out. Don’t do any change of force. Don’t try to compensate and to try to keep it on track. Make sure there is absolutely no change of flow...
