Soundsmith's Trashman Returns! (Army Combat Veteran Reacts) [TF2] Trashmann Rising

[@casiooooooo]

Yeah soundsmith is a music/sound effect maker. Fun fact: he also has perfect pitch

[@thepanman674]

His name is Ethan. He has perfect pitch He likes TF2, GTAV, Sea of Thieves, etc. Same here.

[@rileyinscoe3558]

Perfect pitch?

[@samfire3067]

And he IS a professional soldier. Hehe

[@patchwork5532]

So that particular taunt kill is kind of a kamikaze move. It just blows up you and anyone within 5 feet. I think its the only taunt kill that does that. I believe theres an exploit where if you do it through the floor, like at 3:07, you survive cuz the floor blocks the damage or something. Also if you're interested in Soundsmith's flight capabilities, his three series How to Trolldier, How to Counter Trolldier, and Fresh from the Garden are pretty much just showcases for that.

[@Techhunter_Talon]

TF2's voice commands actually make your hitboxes move around even when in a taunt. So, calling for 'Medic!' moves the Soldier's hand, which is where the explosion originates from. Doing this in the right spots can make you survive the blast of the taunt.

[@warpstarrogue3554]

The best description of trashmann is Ethan (Soundsmith) making a montage of him using a weapon or strategy that the community deems bad or "trash." Example here is using the equalizer, a melee weapon that blocks healing from medics when held as his only scoure of damage.

[@christianwright7581]

An update from a while ago changed that downside on both the Equalizer and the Escape Plan to where getting heals from Medic is reduced by 90%.

[@Techhunter_Talon]

@@christianwright7581 Which in turn makes them great weapons to pull out when helping a Medic quickly charge their uber. Uber charge rate is higher when you're damaged and when not fully maxed out on Overheal.

[@sythrus]

"More extreme reactor" says the guy who usually doubles the length of the video thats being reacted to. The only way for you to be a more extreme reactor would be to add some nuclear fission to this.

[@konradzukowski213]

Paul, if you want to learn about taunt mechanics, there's a KZbinr - shounic - who explains all the oddities of TF2 mechanics, source code and other things that happen in TF2 that would do as an episode of X Archives. Some time ago he did a video on how you can survive Soldier's Kamikaze taunt, all while giving some inside on other kill taunts.

[@hifty7779]

You NEED to play ultrakill! It is the best fps ever (in my opinion) A good start if your not sure is maxors video about it, he talks about the game but his editing is so chaotic it’s easy to not understand what is happening

[@kabob0077]

11:07 The Zone Troopers and Raiders, the Jump Jet Infantry from Tib Sun, the Rocketeer from RA2, or the Commando in Tib Wars?

[@seekyunbounded9273]

6:44 this is mroe abotu the effect having to work with whatever is on screen while the real deal has statick sprites and geometry so the pixels do not jump around randomly

[@jackofmadness]

The thumbnail made me wanna see you see his Market Gardener Basics Other than that, it’s nice to see you again. Idk how long it’s been since I’ve seen you

[@hadeshades2365]

2:00 do not do that. Loads of guys will agree that this is why we watch you instead of those algorithm junkies. Greetings Kendoka2

[@endruler8625]

The music that went with the rain is the combat theme from Skyrim, so that's what the rain is for.

[@somepuppetdude8314]

I like your style of reactions, its fun to learn about the army

[@syweb2]

7:07 That is achievable in-game via the Mega Health orb, armor bonuses, or Mega Armor. 12:55 That specific taunt-kill blows up the Soldier. Other taunt-kills don't hurt the user. 13:24 No, because the second time, he was at around 290 health thanks to overheal.

[@gastergamer510]

When it comes to streaming other games, i would personally recommend either the Yakuza series or the Devil May Cry series, purely because they have really fun gameplay and youre bound to have a great time with those, however they are both single player so you wouldnt be able to play with chat

[@BlackdragonTheShadow]

But the chat can comment on the insanity…

[@jaimelkor8054]

God I wish these guys saw your reaction videos. They are so fun and interesting.

[@cpi3267]

1:50 you've done this in your thumbnails already XD

[@kirbyfreakyt4695]

12:04 That... that actually sounds super fun. Except for my part time job sucking away most of my free time, and energy, and College sucking away the rest of it (Not really but like... I got sick this week and JUST BARELY have enough time to finish my Cooleg homework for the week.) (Oh, "cooleg"? Yeah I can explain that. Play Undertale. It's a 2015 game. Too much of a time investment? Fine. Temmie, from Undertale. That's where the joke comes from.) 14:31 Taunt kills in order of class for ya real quick! ALL Taunt kills: just need to be activated through the Taunt Menu. Also they deal 500 damage. I think there's one exception but I can't remember what it is. No, it's not Soldier's. All taunt kills can also be used to camp teleporters, but Soldier's... might just blow up the teleporter. Scout: Atomizer or Sandman. This taunt kill is... okay. It's very slow, but it's actually about average in speed and reliability. I'd recommend the Atomizer, since the Sandman just sucks. It's best on unaware Snipers, like most Tauntkills. Soldier: Escape plan or Equilizer (He's using Equilizer): This one deals 500 damage in Recoil. Said recoil damage can be blocked sometimes by overhead platforms, like the one on Hightower above the exit of the inside. It's an AOE Explosive damage move, so it can take out buildings and enemies above the Soldier. Pretty okay, but dying usually isn't... the best use of your time. Soldier has a voice line with it so it can be kind of obvious. I like to interrupt the "C'mere, cupcake!" with "C'me- DEPLOY A DISPENSER HERE!" Less well known voiceline for a sudden explosion. Pyro: This man has like 7 different Taunt Kills. Flare guns, Gas Passer, Hot hand (this one and the others before it all have the same taunt kill), Scorch shot (Specifically), Jetpack, Rainblower, seriously he can have 3 different taunt kills in each slot with Scorch Shot/Jetpack, Hot hand, and Rainblower. Hadouken taunt kill is the most common and can be done with pyro's stock shotgun (so yeah it's one of the first taunt kills). Consistent, the third fastest (I believe?), does Fire damage (Sadly doesn't hit buildings, I believe), and overall a good choice. Pyro does a voice line with it tho, so... about the 3rd or 4th best. Scorch Shot taunt kill fires off a Scorch Shot blast, and you have to be VERY close to get taunt killed by this thing. Works like how Scout died to "bubbles" in Meet The Pyro. This one sucks... but firing the scorch shot QUIETLY can be useful from time to time. Jetpack: it's a fart joke. I believe this one is the exception and it does like... 200 damage. Edit: 420 damage! Nice. Bullet damage resistance can take this down, though! It's about as good as Atomizer taunt. NEXT! Rainblower: it's like soldier's, without the recoil damage or voiceline. Slower, and more obvious though, with a music sting you can't speak over. It's... okay. It's the best AOE one imo. Demo: If you got a sword, swipe their head off! This taunt kill gives the second highest benefit for a taunt kill, giving you a free Head for your Eyelander, or a free kill for your Half Zatoichi! I believe this is the taunt kill that bumps Hadouken to 4th place. Not second place? What would be second place? Actually, what's first place? Heavy: First place Taunt Kill. No benefit for it, but this thing is the fastest, the voice line happens AFTER the taunt Kill, it can be SHOT at the enemy (It's an invis hitscan bullet that reaches slightly further than Short Circuit's left click/M1) and it can be x+5's into "POOTIS-POW!" which should be an achievement in itself. I love using the Holiday Punch for this taunt kill but stock fists can be used to do it as well. I believe those are the only two that can do it which kind of sucks but ok. Engineer: Gunslinger, and for a different taunt kill, Frontier justice. These taunt kills give you the third highest benefit for the Taunt Kill: a dead man in front of you and his 100 metal ready for the taking. It's literally no benefit but if you're playing Engineer you'll probably need all the Metal you can get. Gunslinger is a slower Hadouken with more noise, and Frontier Justice gives a sling guitar twang which can be missed gotta be honest, and then slams the guitar into their head like it's loony toons. This one's better and is used for Teleporter camping. Medic: If you have the ubersaw, you can use the Spinal Tap taunt kill. This taunt kill gives the highest benefit for use (100% uber! the first hit give 25% and the last hit gives 75%!) but is 5th place for being auditorily obvious "I'M GOING TO SAW THROUGH YOUR BONES!" and being about the same as Hadouken. However... This is one of the rare taunt kills that can STUN people, even Ubered players. THAT can be useful. Sniper: Compound or Huntsman. Second fastest taunt kill in the game. this and Heavys are considered the best so i'd consider this second best. Spinal tap but faster. IT CAN ALSO STUN PEOPLE TOO. Spy: If your knife isn't the Spycicle you can do this taunt kill. This taunt kill sucks, and is slow and fancy, but it's okay. it's a taunt kill. Spy swipes his knife up and then down for about 30 damage each, and then deals the 500 damage blow. It's... okay but not a Single person tele camp type of taunt kill. Misc taunt kill: "Rock, paper, Scissors!" It's okay. It's fun. I have no real arguments for or against it, but it's about a 50/50 chance of winning or losing and people will sometimes take you up on that offer even if you'll be losing a fight. It's completely random, so you know. Have fun with it. But, uh... _Stares off at 25 victories and around 310 plays_ I, uh... well, let's just say I have horrible luck when it comes to RPS.

[@BlackdragonTheShadow]

5:06 seeing who was saying this line… I wouldn’t be surprised if MGR( Metal Gear Revengence) came out in todays day and age that would be a line… as they literally say “Memes the DNA of the Soul”… I wish I was making this up

[@arbitrary_thoughts]

I wouldn't mind some discussion over some older retro games like Doom.

[@X-SPONGED]

I would like to see you tackle Detroit Become Human and the choices that come with it LIVE on Stream. Hints from Chat are allowed but no resets and no regrets. Let's see if you can get as best of an ending as Chris gets.

[@dragonandavatarfan8865]

I really hope you check out some Heavy content too, from the outside he seems like such a simple class but there's so much complexity you gotta learn if you wanna survive as him for more than 10 seconds. I highly recommend "Why I play Heavy with a Shotgun" by TheWhat Show and literally any of the Big Joey videos.

[@beinggreenandunseen3171]

Speaking of jump jet troopers, it would be cool if you played command and conquer and gave a military analysis on some of the technology from the games.

[@hagenspringtrap9431]

Taunt kill not a spell most of them just do a taunt and if someone is in front of them and in range they'll just die immediately, however the equalizer and it's counterpart instead of just killing the enemy it kills the soldier that started the taunt aswell cuz having a live grenade in your hand and not letting go to suicide bomb the enemy probably hurts but for some reason it just didn't kill soundsmith either the overheal or gunboats theory

[@cerberus144]

On a CRT those pixels were a little smoother and it looked much better.

[@zennova4401]

you have to watch more soundsmith

[@artyom2801]

someones watching a coprehensive history of chris chan 🤨 3:34

[@BlackdragonTheShadow]

Based off of trends a survivors like game would be good… survivors like means games like Vampire Surviors… I’ve seen some gameplay of that and a vtuber themed fan game and it looks interesting

[@sturm2186]

Hey! You are making very good content, I think you are the best reaction channel out there because of your unique insights and experience. I can't stop watching you. I'd like to ask you to check out "The fall of Manburg" by Technoblade, it's really cool and includes stuff like logistics we all love to hear you rant about. Thanks!
