Jan 23 2010, One life with the Dead Ringer on Badwater

In this particular game on BLU I repeatedly kept failing over and over again, tripping over my own shoelaces, botching every stab, uncloaking with pyros around every blind corner (no matter which corner, they were there), always being singled out for spy-checking, and constantly running face-first into grenades and rockets.

...And then, one particular life in that very same game, I broke my previous Spy record for number of points in one life, now at 38. This is that life. I'm certainly not gloating of course, but the fact I did this well for 7 minutes within an hour in which I otherwise played absolutely horribly... I still don't know how I did so well without messing up. Well, I did mess up at the end, as I assumed I still had a bunch of my teammates pushing the cart behind me to pull me out of any mess.

After the events in this video, I then went back to being a regular fail spy for the rest of the game... not intentionally of course, but...

You are fucking god

[Ohmyani]

@Otiss13 Yes, although it isn't nearly as loud as it used to be.

Although within the last 3 months you've probably figured that out :P

I havnt played this game in months but im getting into it again soon and was wondering if dead ringer can still be heard by enemies?

I still dont get how your disguise kit work valcaron. I know the number 1 2 and 3 key are sepearated by the offense, defense, and support classes. But the question is, how do you choose the disguise you want since the digsuise arent listed by numbers 1-9? Do you press the key twice or three times to get the second or third offensice class like the soilder or pyro, for example, or is it totally something different? A answer would be totally appericate!

@xbingemagx Then explain how everyday a pyro is chasing me with the flamethrower and when i use the dead ringer he lights me on fire but it doesn't deal 1 single damage.

[valcaron]

When you're under the protection of the Dead Ringer's cloak, only direct fire causes damage. The afterburn's "tick" does 0 damage under the DR's damage reduction.

[blackjet2000]

it happens when you make lots ofp oint without dying (one life) then you start playing "bad".

that's normal but at last you improved yourself your true spy's skill :D

[xbingemagx]

@MagnuM2980 When you get fired at by a pyro as a 'cloaked' DeadRinger spy, you still burn and you still take damage.. the pyro burned him before he used the DR but also afterwards

I think it's just a fail of hitboxes
