[@iwiffitthitotonacc4673]

The landing on health before receiving falldamage can be used in reverse, too: Rocket/stickyjumping directly on top of health to negate the damage received. At least, this works in Quake.

[@SarutinMcWhotookmyname]

@TheThunderGuyS not quite. health kits have a sort of detection box on them. if you lose health while still in the box, you will be healed, but crouch jumping is very likely to leave you outside of its range. if you jump at a low angle or just dont crouch, it works just fine.

[@awyeagames]

I'm excited for the 100k special :D here's to 100k more! You deserve all the love, toofty!

[@lordghastly9537]

One technique I love using is loose cannon jumping. It's almost the exact same as rocket jumping (though it does a tad more self damage). You can get midair double jumps to make you go light speed and pairing it with a zatoichi crit from a well-timed charge make for a lightspeed deletion projectile.

[@kazamaki]

Toofty upload?? Pog

[@kindertak5396]

Another tip: if you find yourself in a single area (like waiting for a health pack, healing by dispenser or something else) place some stickies at the flank/flanks that goes directly to where you are to where you are, this way if you're waiting for a health pack and some scout tries to get you, you have a better chance of surviving just because you placed 2 stickies on that door

[@grimreaper1542]

Damage syncing with sticky's by shooting one in the air (to reduce det cool down) and then one where the 1st one lands can also be helpful to effectively get 2 sticky's worth of damage in 1 shot. If you can get the timing and angle of 1st right, it can be lethal.

[@thebc3095]

I'm happy to see you got a sponsor. Onto 100 k boys!!

[@gadhanumberone2254]

thanks, man! im a demomain and while these tips might not be useful to mid-high level players, they mean a lot to like about 60% of the playerbase, i hope i see low/mid level demos learning and demo flourishing! keep up the amazing work!

[@almostshay]

Half of these tips basically amount to "just use the iron bomber"

[@scarabdust]

You can use any of these tips with any launcher, but the Iron Bomber is probably the most effective

[@peterjackman1507]

I was just thinking today I've missed watching a toofty video for a while, so great timing!

[@Jagger_]

10:27 Im no sniper main, but going off logic here, its probably because if they let you have a couple stickies down that means you can jump to them and most likely kill them (I mean, thats usually how a demo vs sniper would go).

[@heylittleguy26]

Or (as a demo and sniper main) it is le funny

[@Phoenix-Handle]

Thank you for making this video this really helped me become a better demomain and while not life changing it still helps alot

[@Hyped_Panda]

These were actually some very good and interesting tips!

[@birchpc]

I think the biggest advanced tip is alternating your primaries. I see demos with great sticky and pipe aim but never know when to use either weapon. Demo primaries synergize so well with each other in that the stickies force people to move in 1 direction (away from the sticky) while pipes force people to make small strafes, so when you switch between those two you can either aim up a really easy to hit sticky or a really easy to hit pipe.

[@Nico-jj8ly]

Utilizing the pogo jump, a mid air pogo is in the same vein, rather than shooting at the floor aim at the sky (play with the angle) as if you are doing a regular sticky jump, if done correctly the second sticky bomb detonation mid air will propel you further forward with less speed but more control than if you had used 2 stickies. Costs health unless using the sticky jumper, use with caution. Further stickies can be used in tandem while mid air if timed correctly when angle/speed lines up.

[@elibray1104]

Love toofty, helped me get back into TF as a demo main.

[@TheTragicOof]

These videos are so great every time

[@lord_of_happy_death6557]

That sniper trick, baiting their shot with a sticky is suchhh a good idea! Will be using that

[@YasonYou]

Omg the first tip blew my mind.

[@joaquinmoreno6730]

Great video! I have about the same hours as you and still they were some things i never tought about! Another little tip: Don't be afraid to shoot from a far distance, at first it can be kinda tricky to hit long shots, but it's one of the grenade launcher's greatest advantages. Also, try pre-firing your grenade, if it hits then you can stop any push in seconds, specially on tight corners.

[@vincentf1649]

I didn't even realize you hadn't hit 100k yet, I assumed you were way higher based on the quality of your videos. I love your content man, keep it up

[@ypsillonparker5743]

I dont usually do this but this is an exception. Liked and commented just for you Demo-Sensei. These are some useful tips, now all I gotta do to become a real Demomain is to play tf2 drunk. Cheers, cant wait for more, keep up the great work!

[@dazeen9591]

I guess I have a hard time grasping what people mean when they say "advanced"

[@justarandomdood]

Nice vid, you just reminded me that I still need to learn to pogo jump as demo 😅 An extra tip you could talk about: rainbowing your stickies Shoot one sticky high in the air (but not fully vertically) and then one sticky in a shallow angle immediately afterwards. If you do it on level ground, then chances are that they'll both land close to each other, so if you're predicting some enemies to be close to you soon, you can hit them with 2 stickies worth of damage instead of 1

[@muczkapl]

You can also use the iron bomber trap to sorta oneshot unsuspecting snipers by aiming next to them and following it up with another pipe.

[@volumetrick]

This will probably help me so much, haven't even used the technique, but the video is so well made and like & subscriber earning much

Idk if this could ever be useful in game, but I found that the caber gives the user a lot of vertical knock back when it hits a wall or floor, making it a surprisingly useful vertical mobility tool. I know it’s not that practical but I feel like it could give the caber some kind of tech

[@SarutinMcWhotookmyname]

it lets you scale the wall in medieval mode, but thats about it. its pretty funny to ambush the red snipers from one of the control points, but its not the best gimmick when you can just trimp off the one rock that everyone uses.

[@djblackhat]

Tip number 69: get a pocket krits medic and trash talk everyone when you kill them with a krit stickey

[@laksbispirit2415]

Tip: When there are approaching Scouts who are super close, you can shoot at your feet with the Stickybomb Launcher as you're backpedaling to make the Scout think twice about running head on, or if he does, he gets blown the fuck up.

[@toakongu1]

Sewer surfing in 2fort. This is perfect for jetpack pyros and full or hybrid knights. Shield charging or jetpacking into the sewer side wall at less than 45 degrees should work fine. Pyros can combo it with the Neon Annihilator to be sewer sharks since standing in there counts as being wet. Full and hybrid knights can really get some use out of doing this in the smaller S curve portion of the sewers between the classic sentry base spot and the small pond under the bridge. I've done it as a full knight and achieved many undeserved kills

[@jhay3966]

Also heres a tip for iron bomber jumping. If you're bad with timing then after you shoot wait for the reload animation. As soon as he puts the first grenade in, then you jump because a split second later it will detonate.

Tip : when using the beggars bazooka, you can "Sync" with overloads, walk to a wall, Overload, then Immediately fire a rocket, its very flexible and can give bursts of both Speed and height

[@dbug64]

Thank you for the good tips. Do you rely on the iron bomber as much as it seems? Most good demos seem to use stickies most of the time.

[@lurkinhehe]

'Sticky saving your ass': you can save yourself from certain death if you find yourself on incredibly high altitudes with less than 40 hp with enough preparation and a sticky jumper, all you have to do is learn the timing on which the sticky can be detonated and if you are falling too fast, charging the sticky a little bit can help you make it land faster, you can even use two stickies if needed and or possible

[@mizanurabu-ramadan7430]

I use hybrid knight on 2fort, so when I am in the enemy base, I go to the "place above the entrance corridors" then shield rush into the twisting tunnel.

[@IceboundCat6]

Hybrid knight is by far my favorite way to play demo. Stickies are nice, but the shield is a quick getaway, passive damage resist, and crit giver while charging. Iron bomber of course for pill jumping.
