[@prywatne4733]

I was like "oh it's all so obvious" then he started talking about always using L'etranger and it felt like a personal attack

[@RdTrler]

Overusing L'etranger feeds into making Mistake Number 11 (playing too passively.) More cloaking means less hiding in plain sight, which means taking longer to make your plays. Sure, it's a good revolver for stock watches to work in larger maps, but Spy *does* have a gun (that he shouldn't always use.)

[@meow_nyx]

I personally don't agree with it, l'etranger is viable with all watches and there's only a couple good revolvers anyways so I don't see the problem with being reliant on it

[@UncleWayne_REAL]

Use it with only eternalreward and maybe cloak and dagger but stock better

Mistake #15. Not getting a good amount of sleep. Seriously though, getting atleast 8 hours of sleep every day will help you a LOT. Not just for spy, but for pretty much any class and any other game you play, it can improve your skill in-game and I have experienced it too. Another tip I would have is that if you are feeling angry or you're just burnt out, you can always take a break, do something new to clear your mind. And when you come back you will feel better. Try to stay positive, laugh at your own stupid mistakes and don't take the game too seriously.

[@aro_ger_]

You do know that it only sucks up your Cloak and not your Disguises.

[@Fr3nchCat]

@@aro_ger_ it requires a full cloak meter to disguise with it

[@Landjrin]

There are so many people who underestimate the potency of acting using your disguises, disguise as sniper and look down common sniper sightlines, when disguised as any class running towards the front line, turn and look around like you're spy checking, never look directly at "teammates", etc. Backpedaling is actually BROKEN, I've collected tons of clips where I was able to disguise as engineer/soldier on the enemy front lines, backpedal, and just slip through the whole team. The biggest mistake people using when using disguises is just repeatedly disguising as scout and not putting any further thought into it than "it stops the sentry from locking onto me".

[@dr.infernous9342]

Dude the turning around and spychecking thing is something I recently developed an intuition for and you just put it into words It's so broken cause you get to be aware of your surroundings and also fool people at the same time!

[@dr.infernous9342]

Also when the enemy is really paranoid it stops really mattering what disguise you pick just if you act in a way that draws attention, learned this on my first 10 ks as spy

I have played spy a little bit, and my biggest piece of advice is; 'Don't Look At The Enemy', for instance if you are playing medic and the heavy you started healing is staring at you like you broke Sasha, something is wrong.

[@Mugenman88]

As a quick little extension of 6, pay attention to what your disguise is doing. If someone sees a sniper sitting in the back line with their kukri for no good reason out they are going to spy check. If a medic is running at them with a melee out you're going to get spy checked. if a scout is on the front line but they have their bat out for no good reason- etc etc. Make sure your disguise is on the right weapon for the right situation (you can change your disguise's weapon by having the wanted slot out then pressing B by default). It's something that I pay attention to a lot and it helps to blend in massively. Great video!

[@Riff.Wraith]

6:56 It's true that decloaking right behind an experienced player who's locked in is a death sentence, but in casual mm you can often get away with doing so anyway. It's really something that you should invest a few lives into learning which players on the enemy team are actually paying attention. edit: I totally agree however that 2 spies is optimal if your team is going to have spies at all. The whiplash of experiencing the extreme confidence boost of "I just killed the spy" and then dying to a different spy is possibly the only thing in TF2 that inflicts more psychic damage than dying to a random crit.

[@berserk.7070]

I've found that decloaking right behind them while they are focused on getting to the frontlines and there's a lot of stuff going on that they are paying attention at, is even more effective than decloaking further away and then trying to get players in some instances

[@anothernormalperson069]

Just wanted to say that i first find out about your spy psychology video when i was about 100~ ish hours on tf2 Now I have 1,100 hours, i'm a spy main using stock, still don't know how to pull out trickstabs, but somehow always manage to get on the top of the scoreboard and most of the time have an even if not positive k:d ratio. All that by the power of acting, thinking, and adapting that your videos teached me! Thank you and good luck for the other spies out there!

[@DeltaMix96]

about the knife raise animation, when I was still new to the game I would wait for the knife raise animation to tell me when a stab would happen, and it did help at first, I would personally suggest using the raising animation at the very beginning to get used to the kill area

[@Zenith-TheMachine]

Mistake 14 is applicable for EVERY class of every skill level, but it’s especially more prevalent for classes that are generally deemed as “harder” to play, like spy, medic , or demo. Also the unbinding your tab key thing is a great idea, but it’s also a good tool to check if there’s cheaters abusing an exploit with ping

perfect moment to uncloak is when you know nobody is behind you and you time your decloak with someone shooting their weapon. Weapon firing sounds mask portions of the decloak sound quite well.

I wanna add to this by saying don't always use the YER. I always use the YER, so when I swich off of it, I always think that I can get away with a stab and just stay there. Of course, I know when it's too chaotic for them to hear it and when they know I'm a spy, but I now cannot use any other knife. I'm too used to getting away with stuff, but not in the way of how the kunai dead ringer gets away with stuff.

Enemy lines is really important. Distracted players are easy marks. Lots of distractions on the front line. When going far behind enemy lines, your options go way down. Decloak sounds become audible, your disguises will be spychecked as they have nothing else to do, respawn wallhacks are super easy to spot you.

I’ve saved my ass many times by hiding against a wall and not in a corner, then watching the corner be spychecked but not the wall.

[@cellulanus]

I was playing soldier, heard a decloak sound, did a 180 and instantly deleted a spy right behind me, who then accused me of hacking. And that's how I learned to not decloak behind people. By playing a class other then spy.

I love stacking 12 spies on a public team, then I tell everyone to immediately all switch to heavy after death. This meme oddly works

[@piotr2147]

I remember seeing a video once that was like "l'etranger is bad spy's weapon, just learn where the ammo packs are on the maps" and then most maps in TF2 casual have horrible placement of ammo/ammo size

[@connorbyers2415]

As a spy main I do not believe that most people who stack spy are f2ps only. Quite frankly, many spy mains stack spy or people who aren't spy mains that have one thousand hours or more do often stack spy. From 2015 to 2024, I've noticed a trend in the TF2 community where people have grown more selfish. People do not care to even commit a minor but noteworthy sacrifice to fill in the roles of empty shoes on the team. People like to stack classes. You're on 5cp, 3 scouts, two snipers, two spies, 2 medics, 2 engies, one power class. People do not care about team composition, they do not care that they screw over their teammates, or even shooting themselves in the foot. For some reason, a steamroll is fun, even though both matches may have lasted 2 minutes at most. If you decide to play medic, yet your team is stacking classes, you can't do much when your team only cares about one person on their team, themselves. You can go medic and can't do anything because your team has nothing but light classes with limitations that soldier, Demoman, and somewhat heavy don't have as much as the squishier classes. The TF2 community has adopted this mob mentality mindset of "do whatever you want; it's casual." I cannot deny that stupidity can be fun, but this mindset has become so common that a good match suffers more than it usually would. People do their own things in a TEAM BASED SHOOTER, where the entire team will suffer with a speedy round. Fast rounds are not fun and bring more frustration and discourse between the players playing the game. Working as a team, just like in any physical sport where you actually feel that your match has merit, brings more unity and sportsmanship between people even if they may never see each other again. This allows the following random people you encounter to have this attitude because the community's positivity grows and blossoms like a flower, which makes the match-ups more exciting and keeps people engaged. There are matches where losing feels good and they're usually matches that have a good fight for several minutes with both team putting heart into it. The TF2 community has created this wildfire fire where only YOUR FUN AND ONLY YOUR FUN matters, even though your fun doesn't last long. Yet somehow, these people still find a steamroll to be fun. If anyone criticizes their team, that person is the bad guy even though the selfish idiot being, the 3rd or 4th spy, scout, sniper, medic, engineer, and sometimes Pyros is the saint we all should strive to be. If someone gets angry where the anger may be justified because quite a few people on a TEAM want to focus on themselves only instead of filling in for that needed medic, soldier, demoman, engineer, or heavy, get pissed because they're being told to switch their classes. I cannot express how many times in the last couple of weeks I have seen such a shitty team composition. Even Uncletopia has the issue, I joined, and for the previous two points on a payload match, my team had 3 spies. We lost within 3-4 minutes, with everyone dying left and right. Then when we were attacking, the same strategy was being used, 3 freaking spies. 4 minutes into the match, with a minute and some seconds left, they switched, and we pushed the cart into the first point. After that, the insane people switch back to 3 spies, 3-4 minutes in; after having 5 minutes and 25 secs, they finally switch back to other classes, and we get the point. As Jonto said, that is definition of insanity. I cannot comprehend that 3 attempts from my team to stack 3 spies would work, especially after seeing that when 1 or 2, if not all 3, switched, we captured the point. Maybe this had nothing to do with selfishness; instead had to deal with stupidity. Idk. But I voiced my opinion in team chat and I pissed off some players even though nothing in what I wrote was rude, I didn't cuss them out, I didn't use my mic. What I'm suggesting is that I think it was just the tf2 mentality of, "I'll play what I want, even if my team suffers, even if I suffer." People like to throw this mentality around that "it's just casual." It is a very abused analogy that harms the community, a person even at heart; it turns someone into a person who can't handle suggestions or constructive criticism. It makes them selfish. This type of thinking is cancerous and hurts the game and the community, it breeds toxic anger and hatred etc. If I get any comments from anyone, they will pull up the usual excuse; it's just a game. I say to that, say that all you want. Plenty of people leave certain games because of the toxicity of the people playing the game; it breeds terrible psychological health for the victims and perps of online harassment. At the end of the day, you are still playing with other human beings even though you don't see them face to face; every interaction irl and online affects people. Interactions have effects, whether good or bad, wherever they are.

As a professional spy main said “Spy Has A Gun”

[@monothephantom]

I'm not a spy main or whatever, but probably one of my best spy moments was when I was approaching the payload cart from the enemy spawn direction disguised as a heavy and the sniper toward the back of the cart turned and started blasting to spy check, and in that moment I kept moving forward and just said went for the "thanks" voiceline. I was half dead but I guess I passed the vibe check because he went back to focusing on the cart leaving me to slowly approach. I killed everyone that was pushing the cart by being so stupid no one thought I would do something so dumb.

[@RdTrler]

@@monothephantom The voice commands are incredibly powerful because of the gestures that come with them. People tend not to shoot while using a voice command, so it's a great cop-out.

And play other classes helps you improve. Once I was able to fool a pyro (probably a newbie) but I pretended to be a sniper and it worked. Oh. One thing.

This prevents you from wasting cloak before you need it, and avoids immediate recognition that you are a Spy. (If the enemy sees a Spy, they see a Spy. If they see an out of position teammate, they see a Spy. If they see an enemy of another class, they will probably see that other class first.) This can also serve as an opportunity to deter enemy Spies, as you could disguise as a high-value target such as Medic or Sniper to bait them out or a class such as Pyro to make them think twice before making a play.

10:50 WHY DID HE FLY SO FAR

#15 Accepting that sometimes you’ll just die because the pyro around the corner heard your spy yell “yippee kayay” as loud as he could when killing an engineer

[@callingcthulhu407]

Speaking as a pyro main, don't forget that while Spy has a gun, *so does the Pyro*. What they have can greatly affect their threat depending on distance. Shotgun means they're still deadly at midrange, and having a flare/detonator means they can light you up from afar. Spy doesn't have much health, so even a few seconds of being on fire can make a difference. I've taken down more than one overconfident gunspy from afar after I nail them with two detonator shots and just vamoose while they die to afterburn.

These videos sound so useful and cool. And then you go into the game, and all you see is chaos, where the only advice you can get, is: pray

"Hey is that Ghost Trick music?" "Nope, ace attorney."

Will the Red Tape Recorder video come out in December as a Smissmas gift?

Me, a gunspy main: I feel attacked 7:27

He hit 100k! I’m so happy for you man, congratulations!

[@bucket9561]

And another mistake is their lack of target prioritization. I see some spies get tunnel visioned on the same gibus sniper and ignore the big open targets. Believe me ik the dopamine that you get from backstabbing a sniper over and over. But they also always die afterwards because the see a medic at full Uber with a heavy charging up front but then completely ignore them because of their tunnel vision on the same gibus sniper of other non threat

7:36 Thanks JFK

[@Perfect-cell3]

The way I play tf2 is every time I die I switch classes So sometimes I end up stacking spy but then I die and the day is saved

[@sixwisecorban5613]

11:40 that is not the definition of insanity! That is how Albert Einstein defined insanity! He only said this because other people in mathematics kept trying the same equations and expecting different results. I’m tired of hearing a theoretical physicist’s definition for something in the domain of psychology past around as gospel.

[@Automaton_unit]

I need that L-Etanger for the funny moment of decloaking infront of scoping snipers

[@zac9181]

9:50 Dude I almost quit TF2 because of this. I still suck, but I don't get angry anymore now that I unbinded tab. Thank you.

[@TheXAllosaurus]

The last mistake is applicable to basically everyone

[@dwight3555]

Pretty funny to see the "decloack makes noise" tip when so many clips are of you doing exactly at but being lucky the enemies are extremely bad or play with sound off.

[@druidplayz2313]

My best moment was spy is mising a stab but landing it on an invisible enemy spy, then taunting

[@Unfunnyguy2763]

Tbh, you're the only spy main i respect
