Made me lol.

you stole my idea....

Great stab chain.

Unfortunately, looking at your video I just re-realized how much the Spy class depends on luck. Who will turn around to kill you just when you are about to stab them? Who shall spycheck you or not while you pass by? The most you can do to minimize that luck factor is to keep moving and to not lose a single second. You, sir, have mastered that. :3

Will you do a Spy frag video? I'd watch it. :3

You're right. Spy can be extremely dependent upon luck (particularly for DR spies). But if you are good at predicting people's movements, the luck factor is minimized. I may make a frag video sometime in the future, but i'm terrible at editing videos, so that'll be an issue lol

Spy is about luck, he is a wild card. The "skill" involved in playing spy, is simply learning which way the cards fall and putting yourself in the right situation for that lucky streak.

i dont play much spy anymore cause there are 100's of them here but when i did, it was cloak get behind and stab the guys that are disracted by your team .. cause they dont turn around most of the time .... and keep moving even when u miss a stab .... derp

thats just my tactic though cause it still works even when your team is fail lol

Nicely said, Doppel. When I play Spy, I often take guesses when I see opportunities and calculate things like "Alright, this Heavy, Soldier and Medic are near me and they are fighting. Both are looking at the fight in front of them. If I run along this walk while being invisible, I can get to them and backstab them or some of them at least. There's a door near them that leads to an enemy-controlled zone and I have to pass in front of it to reach them. A window near this door allows me to see this enemy-controlled zone so I know that there isn't any enemy there to see me, so if I charge toward the small fighting enemy group I should be safe... If no Pyro goes through that door at the precise moment I pass in front of it, I should have the time to backstab all of them (as Spy, you can flee from many dangerous situations if you react instantly when enemies see you. Pyros with airblast and fire are something else once spotted, though...)"

I run to them. At the moment I'm about to pass in front of the door, a Pyro goes out of it and turns toward my invisible self. Bumps me. I burn to death. Looking at the Replay, I saw that the said Pyro jumped down the third floor of the enemy zone right in front of the door at the moment I was about to pass it. Pure badluck.

Things like that happen to me a lot on Critsandvich. I often tell myself: "What were the odds of this shit HAPPENING, DAMMIT?!" But it's normal. Critsandvich's servers are often full. The most players, the most chance of random shit to happen.

Pretty much. However, there are some nuances when it comes to enemy behavior. And it really helps to know the map well (so you know where to run lol). I had a 32-kill life on the third stage of pipeline yesterday just by running up the enemy ramp, killing a few people, and jumping off into the water whenever I caught fire or was hurt. Unfortunately, the replay didn't record correctly because that life technically started on the stage before, and I think that messed up the recording.
