I have a YER knife with 30,000 kills on it that says otherwise and usually make it into top 3 on skial servers. But knife stats aside (non-comp) YER is nice.

How many people have mics? Less then a 1/3. Even when they can yell out that a YER spy just stabbed them, about 70 percent of the time you've already chain stabbed another player (making their team search for a spy who can't possibly be you, since you can't switch classes). The main problem with is getting the initial kill but after that it has very little downside.

-Most knife's can't kill near a sentry without being shot. YER can. I can kill an engineer then sap his structures. Other's knives runs the risk of either not sapping fast enough after a stab (and dying) or sapping and alerting the engineer. A dead engineer can't knock off a sapper.
-Chain stabs? Most knives would give you away, YER never breaks disguise.

And I know I'm going to get alot of flak for this...but as a spy I go for the medic if I can otherwise go for the person (heavy usually) that the medic is healing. Less warning and you've removed the main danger, AND medics seem to go crazy when you kill the person they are healing (often chasing you resulting in their death).

And it's kind of funny to see the medic suddenly behind enemy lines without an attacking class facing your team.



I like mine, too.

I've gone back to the regular spy watch/knife though. I like the flexibility of disguising as a friendly team mate so they don't know that I'm around. Plus "surfing" dropped weapons and metal pickups makes the cloak and dagger pointless. The DR is too loud IMHO for use without the set, even though it works as a great shield. I don't use the regular spy watch with the sarharan set, because you are visible for almost a full second every time you get bumped, which is a liability in "traffic". At least with the DR you have 9 seconds of full cloak before the increased bump time kicks in.

I love using the DR to survive an 8 sticky trap that launches me safely across the map, that is awesome every time.

"lol I'm You" Clever name, I like. Mine's called "Don't Worry I'll make you look sexy" with a DR called "Dead? Not on my watch"

Regular loadout is pretty good. Just about any loadout has it's strength's and weaknesses. I agree DR is pointless unless you have the set...WAY too loud. (and the sets only really good with DR)

I also use spycycle, Amb, invis watch. I'll switch to Red Tape only if I'm facing lots of mini-engineers (it takes like 20 seconds to destroy their mini's)
 
Lol? How the hell did a video about weapon requiring skill turn into a discussion of a crutch set?

Saharan is good against bad players.

Kunai is good against everyone.
 
Wow I'm jelly. Nice chuckwagon, I didnt know you were a pro spy.
You should play with me sometimes.:D

This simply isn't true. On pubs (lol pubs), then sure. But there's a reason why no platinum spies use the thing in competitive play
You can go ahead and stop. I have seen you say "lol steel" and "lol pubs" now. I searched your Steam ID in the competitive leagues and I couldn't find a single season that you played at the competitive level. So if you would kindly fuck off it would be greatly appreciated. : D
 
I feel that Hei is the best comp spy out there. But what do I know, I am just a steel spy that likes to pub.
I think Hei's the best Highlander spy, stabby stabby just gets more recognition because of his streaming. That's not to say he isn't good either @_@ but Hei keeps a lower profile, which I guess is fitting for a spy.

Shame he says he retired though D:
 
Feeling the next to start taking screen shots of playing in pubs with comp spies to show they are doing it wrong....
 
You could, but then again that's just a single video and I haven't put forth the effort in making a second video.

I am the worst spy in history. I cant even use DR to my advantage.
I can guarantee you're not as bad at spy as I am. no matter what arrangements of weapons and items I use, it never helps in any way shape or form, I'm just really crap at spy.
Even if I use DR, I just end up running around on fire, chased by a bloody pyro. C&D I just end up standing in a corner for ages, make a move and get fucking killed, I end up feeling like a voyeur.
As for sapping, stabbing and changing disguises in succession.. I mean how do you guys do it? do you have any scripts that make you disguise upon stab, or switch weapons upon placing a sapper? or what keys do you have weapons bound to.. I find im getting killed to much while trying to select the right weapon or item, its like I know what to do, but fiddling around fucks it up.

What I tend to do is use my amby and dead ringer for their advantages. I stay behind my team and shoot at the enemy trying to soften them up for my team with the sweet 102 damage head shots. If a surprise push happens or I simply see a grand opportunity, I get closer (unless there is a pyro running at us) and continue to shoot and then activate my dead ringer, get jusssssttt far enough behind them to where they won't hear the sound and start to stab then they are 100% focused on my team I just left shooting at the enemies.
Since I have been playing spy since I started, my hands are used to quickly just hitting "4" and then a random number, but I most certainly don't do that every time, if you simply want to make a very quick disguise, hit "b" on your keyboard to resume your last disguise. That skips the whole pressing "4" and then another number part and it is way faster to me anyways. As for swapping weapons fast, I just enabled "Fast swap" on my settings, and got used to it.
As for engies, lure them out with your gun and while they are trying to look for you, cloak and sap their shit and then cloak again and wait for them to run back and then decloak and stab and resap if you need too. Hope I helped atleast a little bit :)
