Uncle Dane has a video called "How to fight Every Class as Engineer" you should check it out, it might also help you

Now we need Duck trying to play on a jump academy map! Maybe with friends who can't play Trolldier too! )

"It cant be that easy" *tries trolldier* "It is that easy"

your gonna market garden like a pro, no doubts at all

No One: *Me throwing myself at 12 people and making a strike*

I love watching this guy progress at tf2

The reason u wanna crouch is bc its not only giving u more time till u Land, it also makes u lighter and therefore explosives will give u more knockback, that means u will fly further then u would without crouch when rocket jumping.

trolldiers be like: *I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING-*

16:04 do enemies count as surfaces too?! mfg Olli

I'm really glad you're continuing to watch Soundsmith. As I've said before, his Monthly Meatloaf and Casual Meta videos are cool. I also recommend Hightower Adventures and MvM Shenanigans.

You should practice by yourself, you don’t have to record it but play on your spare time.

you could also check out the "zero to hero [SFM]" wich is related to the jump academy servers.

honestly if you have gunboats, just slap those on and play soldier like you would normally. you'll be able to learn as you go while still playing in a "live fire" environment any time you want to get back to the action quickly after dying, practicing rocket jumping is the perfect way to do it since the better you get at it, the faster you'll get back to the frontlines which means the faster you will die again which means you'll have more opportunities to practice rocket jumping when you respawn

"Hit box are so broken" *laughs in Plesioth hip checks*

"It cant be that easy" after first attempt: "It's that easy"

To answer your question at 6:23 . That's Asmongold, the man who has been balding since he was 17. He spends most of his time playing WoW and pondering about which fast food place he's ordering dinner from. The few times he isn't doing that he can be found doing variety stuff with OTK (One True King) - A group of twitch streamers that bonded together to force themselves to leave their rooms once in a while. He's one of my favourite personalities on the internet so I do recommend watching him, it's just not something you should react to.

Good stuff, man! it's nice to see new people trying out trolldier :D

If you want to know about air acceleration you could watch "The History of Bunnyhopping" by WaifuRuns from 2:33 - 4:04, though you do not have any bunny hopping in tf2 (exept if you count soldier/demo explosive shenanigans) but it explains the concept

Man, this video playlist is like a timeline of you going through the TF2 community and learning what it is and how the game works, and it's actually really amazing to see and brings your reactions to all this something that most others don't. Keep going through all this, can't wait to see your first market garden and more of your stuff. Also, recommendation to react to, Bad Weapon Academy by FishonaStick. It's a great way to learn about some of the worst weapons in the game and why to stay away from them (or how to use them if you feel like it)

Hours on TF2 are kinda magical The more you have the better you are It's this thing called gamesense that you develop with more experience like where to stand when as sniper and where to put sentries, dispensers, teleporters as engineer and all that stuff

Shows Dragonball reference Duck: *So its JOJO's then*

I say you should react to the rest of his how to trolldier series,

cant wait to watch you hit your first market garden, you got this!! :o

I would really like a reaction on Zesty Zeus video called "The worst item in the game" or FishOnAStick "Bad weapon academy" videos, I think those videos are both interesting and entertaining so I would love to see your reaction

Trust me, practicing is a lot better then just getting into it, and the maps suggested in this video are really REALLY good to use for that. Have a good day

Another week, another wait for the comics. Ah trolldier, the subclass that i physically cannot understand how to play.

From a quote of a wise man. "Excellent video toolsmith. I will now queue for plr_hightower and proceed to bottom frag 3:129 in an attempt to land market gardens 👍"

i would LOVE to see you try jump academy!

Someone probably already said this but when you crouch and jump at the same time you go higher and it does not only apply to rocket jumping it also makes normal jumps higher too.

Trust me, that laughter is entirely justified, SoundSmith can literally be just as funny as the game itself. Take this sub.

My first garden kill was a complete accident. Or I guess more like a panic click hit.

OK, so I want to see you do the trial by fire- but since it won't take long to realize the limits of not practicing, definitely make that an intro and not a whole vid :D

It’s a good idea to crouch, jump, and shoot at the same time because when you crouch-jump and rocket jump, you’ll go higher and further than just normal jumping.

You just showed up on my recommended and you look cool to me man

I will love to watch you try any jump maps

It's amazing how you went from knowing nothing about the game to playing the game 😩👌

Try and practice. TRUST ME. If you don't practice, you won't even get off the ground.

I have speedrunning this game called Karlson so I think I am ready to trolldier Edit: if you saw the world record you can see him doing airstrafes for speed, crouch jumping on edges and advanced movement stuff

Winglet just posted a new sfm called "The Red The Blu and The Ugly"

"3?" Yes duck, every weapon on your character has a number, pressing that number on the keyboard will make your character switch to that weapon. Same as Minecraft, Garry's mod, Half-life, Roblox Half-life 2, and many more. In tf2 1 is for your primary, 2 is for your secondary/lunchbox item, 3 is always your melee weapon.

a bit of work with rocket jumps opens up a lot of mobility. I've used it to get to high spots in Mann v Machine which I used to DOMINATE the bots. Then I got the Sun on a Stick from my first tour and went Bruh

The reason why you crouch as you jump is because the Source engine actually has this weird thing about it where crouch jumping actually gets you higher than a normal jump. There are some obstacles in TF2 you can't get over with an ordinary jump, but you can get over with a crouch jump.

I personally would love watching you try doing anything in tf2 tbh including going on a jump academy server

Q: Would it be better to practice first or just jump in? A1: A mix of both. Start with a half hour on a private server practicing jump skills, followed by a 2fort pub match (2fort is code for "I'm just dicking around, no one's really expecting me to help win the match") followed by more time on the private server. Or vice versa. It doesn't matter which you start with, but switch back and forth between them a lot. Training the skills in private will get you further against real opponents. Fighting real opponents will give you a better understanding of which skills you're training, why you need to train them, which ones you've got pretty solid, and which ones you're coming up short on and need to address next. You can't really gauge how well your practice is paying off if you're not willing to jump into a match and aim for that payoff. After you get decent you might switch to weeks of playtime in multiplayer, followed by a day of playtime practicing, followed by more weeks in multiplayer. But the more time you spend on one, the more rewarding your time spent on the other will become. A2: It's Trolldier. "Jumping in" is what a trolldier does in spades.

You also want to hold crouch when you rocket jump because for whatever reason, it makes you fly faster and higher.

“Is this a JoJo reference” ALWAYS HAS BEEN

yet again i am late by months, still good video note: my pfp looks like a soldier trollface

Good luck playing trolldier

Ok, first of all: do NOT play trolldier immediately! It might sound discouraging, but you'd better just to learn how play soldier overall, so you could build up enough gamesense Second of all, i must be confident that you have good settings, because if you don't, i will feel really bad for you SO! Follow these steps: 1) Go to the settings 2) Bind "duck" to the "Shift" button (It's way better than "CTRL") 3) Click "Advanced" and enable fast weapon switch and developer console 4) Open the developer console and type in these commands: rate 80000 cl_cmdrate 66 cl_updaterate 66 cl_interp 0 cl_interp_ratio 2 fov_desired 90 viewmodel_fov 90 tf_use_min_viewmodels 1 tf_dingalingaling 1 tf_dingalingaling_lasthit 1 hud_medicautocallers 1 tf_sniper_fullcharge_bell 1 5) Search in google "master config tf2" 6) Pick any type of config you want (i prefer "high") 7) Then click "Customize quality"and set everything as you want 8) After that go to the "Addons" section and tick "Flat mouse", everything else is personal 9) Click "Download preset and selected addons VPKs" 10) Go to the TF2 steam page and go to your local files, using this button ⚙️ 11) Drop everything you have downloaded in "tf/custom" 12) Go to your launch options through the same ⚙️ button and type in "-novid -high -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -fullscreen" This will highly increase your TF2 experience, all this won't take you more than 20 minutes, but it will be worth it

I think the big thing for me is that it IS that easy, but because I developed my rocket jumping years ago I don't even notice doing half that shit. It comes down to muscle memory after a point.

It's actually pretty easy to use Trolldier, just fire a rocket the opposite way where you're trying to go, jump and crouch, then start circling on people like a vulture until you almost reach where they are, click and you've got yourself a market garden. To do more crazy stuff like pogo jumping or wall jumping you ARE gonna need way more practice though.

Dbz moment Him: is prob a jojo refernce

Little did duck know just how many jojo references were in the video. Even the kill sounds are a jojo reference

this guy looks like an irl chad

Mga is full of trolldiers its scary

Id love to see you play jump academy

Do that Jump Academy brother.

You should watch the winglet animations The Bolted Behemoth, burning through space, live and let spy, burning through space 2, and the red the blue and The Ugly. All in that order

8:07 That is a JoJo reference with the menacing symbols, and a Dragon Ball Super reference with the music, movement, and aura (specifically Ultra Instinct). At 11:24 that's from Sephiroth's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros Ultimate where he "stabs" Mario. Also please check out Uncle Dane's Ninjaneer videos, they are pretty good. Thanks and have a good day! :)

Ok so the reason you hold crouch is for two reasons, 1 like mentioned in the video, you get more time in the air, but 2, crouching when you rocket jump just sends you further.

I founded a Green Shovel In A Mall 🌚🌝

The winglet has just made a new sfm that is continuation of live and let spy.

I would absolutely watch Jump Academy, Frame One.

The dude who appeared several times in the video, slamming his head, saying "there it is, dude" is Asmongold, a World of Warcraft streamer, Think soundsmith is a fan of wow since he has referenced it a few times

8:07 that was ironically a dragon ball super refrence (ultra instinct goku to be specific)

You also fly further if you hold crouch

I'd cry tears of joy if you did Jump Academy. That's an exaggeration, but it would be very interesting to watch.

For me the hardest part is to get rod of pressing W. It's drilled in my brain and i keep pressing it

Idk why, but crouching midair increases blast knockback.... I think he forgot to mention that in the vid

Let's goooooo~~

Don't worry about not being able to do it as well as him, that guy is a god. I have over 2000 hours in tf2 and i still struggle with market gardening. But it's like he said, even if you never get to the market gardening itself, just the training with air strafing and rocket jumping is totally worth it.

Played tf2 for 5 years got like 20 hours as soldier xd

you should do gameplay on jump academy, duck.

Crouching will make your rocket jumps more powerful. You are faster when you crouch and rocket jump. I can't explain it beyond that.

i have 400 hours in tf2 and learned from that vid lol

You should watch his video about using the flavor scout

*Soundsmith hits sniper perfectly.* "hitboxes are so broken" - duckgoesmoo

You should take a glance at soundsmiths manns guide to the beggars bazooka when you get the chance

when kyle says is that a jojo's reference: me: no kind sir its a dragon ball and a jojo's reference

I can do the jump. I can do the strafe... I can't time the hit to save my life... sometimes literally.

Crouching while jumping makes you'r jumps go highier, in like every valve game ever, thats bcuz of the source

Knowing the mechanics is totally different than actually do it so probably practice first. And like he said, it takes a while to get good at but funny shovel gives lot of dopamine.

"I feel like that was a JoJo's reference." Ehhh, I mean sorta? It was more of a DragonBall reference than a JoJo's reference

Yes you should go to jump academy

You should check out Bad weapon academy, there’s some good tips for using weapons in TF2. I’d recommend starting with his video on either the baby face blaster, or the classic.

Crazy to think that this Is all happening because someone requested you to watch meet the team

8:13 it's a dbs refrence

u should crouch while rocket jumping, cuz it allows you to jump higher.

Does anyone know were that tf2 squidward meme is I'm trying to find it

It is and it can be so easy

On the one hand the practice map would be better for you in general, on the other with no practice would likely make for a rather amusing video. Like Trolldire it's kind'a up in the air. Also ArraySeven made a guide to play Medic for Absolute beginner's (might be fun for you to check out)

hey are you ready for th new the winglet video that comes out on this sunday ? ( its after live and let spy)

Duck I would PLAY on a jump server with you. Legit if you did it while i was off work I would join you and show you the basics xD

Its actually suprisingly easy All you need is timing

I have over 350 hours and I can't even pogo.

don't worry, i'm confused too

Honestly I'd suggest learning to rocket jump first. Forget about all that shovel stuff, it's an incredibly useful mechanic even without it (actually, rocketjumping with the spoon is only a very small portion of rocketjumping) and learn to do it. I'd suggest watching Nate Fox's tutorials on rocketjumping and then go on jumpacademydottf. The jumpacademy2 map has a bunch of easy courses on it which if you manage to do consistently will set you for battle jumping (there's a whole lot more to rocketjumping, but this should be enough for regular TF2). It will be difficult and frustrating at first, but after good 20-30 hours, you'll start getting the hang of it. I'd suggest getting coaching from somebody who knows how to rocketjump and teach it well, it speeds up the process a lot. Then you might find out all of the market gardening stuff will get a lot easier. There really isn't much point in trying to get gardens if you can't rocketjump well.

Where is the how to trick stab vid

It's not "complicated" as it is Tf2, is easy to learn theory but complex practice[simple market to insane predict market]

How have you not reacted to the how it feels series yet
