My apologies, but a real Spy needs no handbook. :D Spies pass their techniques through example, not text, in case their enemies manage to obtain that intel and countermeasure them.
This video was my first tutorial I had ever done so cut me some slack, and the video was aimed towards teaching the very basics of MY spy play. Also, if you didnt notice...I still killed the medic and solly and got out alive in that clip. I got the job done, maybe not too graceful, but I got it done. I didnt aim to impress in this video, but if you want to see some of my nicer frags, check out my channel. I have 20 other videos that you might like.
1) Valid tactic? Sure, if you consider three easy (you completely ignored a spy) kills that you barely scraped out of "valid"
2) New players won't know any better and maybe would not even be aware of headshotting or that it's the point of the gun.
3) Not sure what my skills have to do with YOUR video, however you are free to look at my stats and/or achievements at steamcommunity(dot)com/id/Reaprar/stats/TF2
-Watch discussion: why do YOU use the DR? other watchs useful in different situations? or is DR what you find best? etc
-Kills on me. kidding, but dissappointedly not there that night(s)
Overall, good video.
One suggestion for a future one: Show a complete round of Spy work. Sure speed up parts of no use, but show good flanking, targeting, and removal. And anything else. Don't worry about failures, just note then what you did wrong.
Thanks for the constructive criticism snugger, I think I might do an entire round just like you said. However I need a program that can record for more than 30 seconds (unlike the free trial of fraps =P)

23 seconds in and I'm turning off the video.
Mistakes made:
You didn't switch classes when you got behind the medic/solly right away, so te medic knew it was you.
You were bodyshotting with the amb when you were right infront of the guy and could have headshot.
...You're using a pretty bad crosshair. But that's personal prefrence I guess.

You're posting a GUIDE. New players are going to look at this and think it is either acceptable or valid tactics, it is neither.

1) It was obviousy a valid tactic if I accomplished my goal of killing the solly-medic pair without dying.
2) New players will not be that nitpicky and overanalyze the situation much like you are doing.
3) I would love to see YOUR tutorials/frag vids that you have made to validate that you are infact a competent spy yourself.

Dont base my entire spy play off of that one clip. And if you want to play sometime, friend request me and I would be happy to.

I think you should state that some of these tips are only appropriate with the DR
(or the god watch as I call it)

Pretty solid Corn.
Needs more:
-Watch discussion: why do YOU use the DR? other watchs useful in different situations? or is DR what you find best? etc
-Kills on me. kidding, but dissappointedly not there that night(s)

I use Virtual Dub. It's free, but takes some getting used to. I found the link on TF2wiki.

@GangstaNinja11 try Source Engine Automatic Demo Saver
cus im too lazy i havent really gone much farther than hitting record, but it has instructions as well as download on the page so it should help.
i cant seem to put the link in without getting an error when trying to post.. but if you type in SEADS on google its the top one
also like Snuggernaut said, coulda used something on why you use the DR over the others
