People often say that Spy is the buggiest class in TF2. That might be true. Demoknight is still wack, though.
This video is way overdue, but hey, it's done. It could have been even longer, but I'm saving the charge-turn bugs (at least, those that still exist) for a video about Ali Baba's Wee Booties.
Yes, I'm still trying to make a trimping tutorial thing! But I don't want it to be just that, I'm also planning on talking about why I love trimping so much, but unfortunately this means that the video is way too ambitious, I keep re-writing the script and it constantly crashes Sony Vegas. This video also had that problem, actually. Bah. Eventually...

I refer to it as the RvB style. Red vs Blue was a Halo Machinama where whenever the characters talk, their heads would nod up and down. This is just a more extreme version of that.
That styles been around in game videos since forever
Speaking of transferring between weapons: The Eyelander & Airstike use the same code to track kills, and even share the stealing mechanic. So if an Eyelander Demo kills an Airstike Soldier who has some kills, he'll steal them as heads.
Same as the bazaar bargain. The amount of heads the sniper has can be stolen by the eyelander. Now I don't quite remember, but I'm pretty sure the airstrike can steal heads from both the eylander and bargain, but the bargain can't steal from the others.
I guess this is what happens when you share code amongst things...

Well, I did since they both know each other. (You'd know from discord servers.)
And when it does register, you’d sometimes wonder how it even hits at such a ridiculous angle
@@HappyToast-st8el pretty sure shield bashes are determined by the two players' collision hulls touching, and not with any unique hitbox specific to the shield. physical interactions with players in MP Source games are quite janky and jittery in general, TF2 being no exception(most noticeable when playing Spy), so this could explain the shield bash being jank too. just my guess.

Theoretically, the "extender" might sync quite well with the Splendid Screen. Extended range hit at the start, land the bash, then get the damage-boosted swing.
at minimum, that is 345. With 5 heads, it is 388
@@theoverpreparerlamenters3r436 Holy moly.
funny thing is, you could actually theoretically one shot a fully overhealed heavy as demoknight. however, it requires a long setup and is very situational
if you're curious, a crit caber + splendid screen bash does at most 444 damage. so, if you did the eyelander shield damage buff transfer to the splendid screen, hitting the combo could do up to 487 damage

Demoknight is basically just.. source engine, the character
Shitty melee hitreg 24/7, engine exploits with trimping, janky mechanics that aren't intended/doesn't work as intended (extender, longer charges on bash kills). Yup, definitely Source Engine the character.

Demo knight hell.exe
You can still do that with engie, but its pretty much useless, main use is to 2hit heavies instead of 3, and troll spies, delfy has a video about it but i've discovered that its still not patched You have to hold left and right click on a building, as soon as you place your building your character does an extra swing, also, its useful with mini sentries cause you almost instant build it But placing a building and turning on an enemy in like half a second is difficult to pull off, just ends up wasting time. But very easy to do

8:27 THEORY: the "regen charge on melee kill" stat actually just regenerates charge on any kill (or maybe just on any kill with a melee being held), it then does a check to see if it was a melee weapon kill, and removes however much charge it regenerated if its not, however if you hold right click, you initiate a new charge before the game has a chance to remove this regenerated charge meter
my own guess is that shield damage counts as melee damage ( either that, or it's because the shield itself isn't its own weapon - you're technically wielding another weapon when you charge, after all - so shield kills while holding a melee count as melee kills for the effect ) but applies _before_ the charge ends, so you get the meter refill in any time you get a shield kill to begin with ... but then your current charge ends and your charge meter immediately drops to zero it'd certainly explain why it just seems like a variant on the extender, since they both involve holding right click when you gain 100% charge to start a new one and prevent your old charge from ending, throwing away all that meter you just gained
Keep in mind that the extender can be used to mess up a pyro’s airblast timing because they don’t expect you to have the increased melee range
This video demonstrated something crucial: the movement of the character's head relative to the mouse's movements is absolutely beautiful.

@@eyluvl what do you mean by experience instead of skill.
@@adityamaram6293 well spy is mostly movement skill. demoknight is having experience of knowing exactly how far your charge goes, what your resistances are, or other stuff like that
@@localidiotnumber792 Well, couldn't you call the ability to gauge distance well, knowing when you should strike, from where you should strike, which target is your priority, and being able to dodge projectiles and shots a skill?
@@adityamaram6293 Yeah, but knowing exactly what your opponent can do based on their visible load out only comes with experience
I was on one of his teams during the whole Headless Headsman incident... let's just say he carried the team.
8:40 what probably is happening is that the charge meter is getting refilled a moment before the charge ends and charge ending sets the meter to zero without caarrying any of the remaining meter over

I fear no man, but that thing **triple bottle** It scares me
Sooooooo, tide turner + booties + glitched eyelander buffing + holding down rmb = *Mowing through every light class in your line of sight*
Seems the perfect way to kill snipers on 2fort
Sadly the tide turner does less damage, (capping out at 75 with 5 heads) but if you used the glitched extendo reach to hit the light class before running into them then yes, they will die and yes, you can charge reset and continue the slaughter

Was amazing to see not just a meelee ref but a asumsaus shoutout
I think the reason why the multibash works like that is that shields are calculated as *melee damage* for the purpose of damage calculations, with a separate line of code added on top that says "shield bash = end charge" but then it also has a line that says alt-fire = charge and then it has one singular tick where the charge ends and the charge meter is full and then due to weird code a charge cannot start while a charge is ending so you just don't get the effects but the game treats all of them as separate charges and you could test this by testing the damage output of the splendid screen after a bash chain

I have a theory for the buff transferring. The change to the Eyelander that gave it the extra damage for every head was not actually added to the Eyelander but rather the shields. I imagine it was done this way just in case they added another weapon later that gathered heads as well. This could explain why the bug only doesn't occur on the sword items, there may be some kind of tag calling them a sword. Ah, the Half-Zatoichi. Well it was the only of the swords to also appear on another class and for a while the animations were bugged in the loadout menu and it displayed the stock bottle animations but with the sword in hand. So I presume the weapon is missing these tags if they exist.
The Mario Kart Wii music in the background is immaculate.
