some kills just deserve a taunt. Such as when killing 3 soldiers vs 1 pyro or destroying a group of red/blue with a enemy soldiers crit rocket. Even sentry deflection kills.
That's pretty awesome. Now I want to taunt kill in front of a teleporter. :) When I see one, I have this overwhelming urge to destroy it. I can't help myself.
@Tabe112 W key + mouse 1 is the phenomenon that pyros just charge forward with their flames blazing. W key + mouse 2 is when pyros use airblast often and well.
(-TN-) blankenstein here. awesome video man! as a fellow W+M2er, i love seeing videos like this that prove that pyro isn't the unskilled noob class people think it is. pyro's easy to pick up, but hard to master. timing and aiming reflects is a great, useful skill. good stuff man, keep them coming and see you in the game!
Any tips for playing against good soldiers? The ones who change the timing of their rockets and/or save up their rockets for close range. Great video though, enjoyed the music and frags, loved the pipe/arrow reflects
@Nhandom I'm glad you liked it! Thanks! As for soldiers that start to change their timing, I tend to really focus my attention on their rocket launcher. It'll allow you to not air-blast uselessly. If they start to fire at your feet, just back up and fire a couple rounds of shotgun or flaregun shots. They will typically panic and try and nail you.
@RellikDesign :-D I think that is the only saving grace of my poor excuse of an edit. I've been getting mixed reviews on the music choice. I thought it suited my play style pretty nicely. Thanks for the comment!
@RellikDesign You are awesome. I just went to that site and they have everything I could hope to ask about making game videos. Now I just need to sit down and make time to go through the steps.
@Lofgon I'd say it's mostly instinctual. Sometimes I think about when I would (and how I would) fire off a rocket, jarate, nade, etc., and assume the person will throw/fire when I would.
But mostly I see the object and reflect it on purpose. Thinking on it, now, sometimes it is auditory as well. I'll hear and then reflect. Good question.
It's so good to see a Pyro video after the Mini-Crit patch! You're an absolute beast with this faster fire rate. I love how you completely shut-out 2 Soldiers in CQ at 1:11. :D
@Headwid Actually, I had a bunch of ones that were luck. I didn't include them because I thought it'd be cheap... OK, there was one where at :54 where I refected a rocket and it killed a medic in the back... That one I was just knocking away from me... :-D Thanks for the compliment!

The music choice is awesome, also, the timing with the frags in the video is absolutely amazing.

@akdoveht The song fits perfectly.
A suggestion for the next video. Use the pldx software to record de videos, it looks much more professional.

Do you do anything special when you airblast or is it all instinct?

Nice reflecting! Good to see good pyro's like us banding to avoid the "Waah W+M1" and "AIRBLAST SPAMMER" titles.
Although, how many of those were just luck? :P
