I may or may not have called the Demoman Irish on accident.

My favorite subclass is "The Dad", you take spy with cloak and dagger and hide in one corner the entire game. Never to be seen again.

"Heavy is spy!" "Thank you!" I've never seen this games player base summed up so quickly.

I think there are two more worth talking about. The Pepper Boy (Scout with Shortstop, Guillotine, and Wrap Assassin) turns scout into a pure midranger who never really runs out of harassment tools, and the Angel of Death (Demoman with BASE Jumper and Scottish Resistance) can essentially deny an entire map if played correctly.

I kind of made my own sub-class for tf2, “bird scout” Basically, your entire load out consists of weapons made to increase your jump height (for me, it’s the Soda Popper, the Winger and the Atomizer) Actually now that I think abt it this is probably more of a playstyle

Best subclass is spinning sniper class that will get any friendly to kill you,which is rare

I like how Demoknight exists solely because default Demo sucks at short range encounters, so the devs gave Demo players an option: sacrifice some mid range power (stickies) for short range security (shields). And then they realized that you can double down and gave Demo the booties and a bunch of swords, flipping the script and giving Demo a completely new playstyle.

"Meet the subclass" Meet the scunt Meet the trolldier Meet the pybro Meet the demoknight Meet the fat scout Meet the battle engineer Meet the battle medic Meet the lucksman Meet the gun spy Edit: i know there are more sublclass like this such as sentryneer or hoovy but these are the more known ones ok? Ok

7:00 I don't harm friendlies but my fps brain still requires blood, so I disconnect And find a more justifiable place to commit video game murder.

"Crippling alcoholic that's already in your game" It genuinely kills my sides whenever i think how Demo is incredible for someone so hammered, half blind, carrying explosives and even using a grenade as a close quarters weapon

Pybro isn't a hobby, it's a lifestyle.

1:48 Somewhere, ilander just got really pissed

5:06 T-Pose Batman Spy

Alright, I’m not gonna lie, the ‘Time-to-slur’ thing got a good chuckle out of me. Great video :)

Battle medic is a perfectly viable subclass. Why is everyone trying to votekick me?

I love how the subclasses generally offer a counter-balance to the core gameplay. Namely, taking characters who are made to CC and making them 1v1 Gods.

Dont sweat about missing pyro or demo subclasses, the moment you switch a single weapon on those two it can count as a subclass

7:41 soldier jumpscare

Just got this in my recommended and holy shit dude, great job. Editing is on point, track picks are based as fuck (the fact anyone even remembers White Light is crazy to me), and the clips are a rush of adrenaline. Not to mention the really nice analyses on the different subclasses. Honestly surprised you don't have more subscribers, man.

1:50 Scots man!

A cool subclass I found is the Roamer Pyro. You use the thermal thruster to get to vantage points and kill your oponents quickly with either the Backburner or the Dragon's Fury. You can use the Powerjack, for more horizontal mobility, or the Backscratcher, so you never ever need to call for medic, and just stay in enemy lines forever. Essentially like the Battle Engie, but more mobility and pyro. Cool video!

2:37 this is why i love hybrid knight, you’re still terrifying at close range but also still have your grenade launcher

0:54 it's a haiku :D

Trolldier: explosive class with high mobility has a primary with no damage the point is to get kill by using your high mobility Demoknight: explosive class with high mobility has a primary with no damage the point is to get kill by using your high mobility

Subclasses are arguably one of the main reasons why TF2 is so unique amongst other FPS games. The fact that you can make a 'black Scottish cyclops' become a fucking samurai with a steering wheel as a shield is incredibly unique and I'm glad someone finally brought it up. Edit: HOLY CRAP MUM GET THE CAMERA I'M FAMOUS

I like that you used Margret Tatcher as one of the heads, that's very fitting for Demo.

i love the choice of music in this well done maxo mate

Some of my best memories of playing TF2 as a kid were playing “sub classes”. The best feat I was ever able to achieve was when I was playing trollger on Hightower and my friend was playing medic on the other team. Somehow magically I was able to hit 3 frame perfect jumps in a row in order to bitch slap my friend and make him drop über. It was the best moment I was ever able to achieve and I have never been able to recreate it. He accused me of cheating and unfriended me. My skills have never been as sharp as they were then.

On the topic of Subclasses, something I recently found out I tried doing as a kid was play a "Support Scout", where I ran Candy Cane, Mad Milk, and Scattergun (but Force-A-Nature would probably work better), and I assume my plan at the time was to leave health packs around with the Candy Cane and use Mad Milk on enemies so I can keep my team healed... as Scout. Instead of playing Medic, I tried turning Scout into Medic. I have no clue what I was thinking, if it worked for me, or if it's even a viable playstyle.

I watched this video before playing tf2 too much, saw battle engi, started playing to get the gunslinger, and look at me now freakin ballin. Thank you.

I just discovered your channel and I really like your videos! also great music taste lmao :)

6:00 "any of the melee options" Has like 60% ham

Quick thing Maxy boi, Demo is Scottish, not Irish. Thanks btw for this video, I haven’t seen a comprehensive video on the subclasses despite them being so popular in TF2, so this video was super useful to me! 😊

Uncle Dane fans when you call Battle Engie a subclass:

I love the music you used, great taste!

1:58 He's actually Scottish, hence the Scottish Resistance. You absolute bean.

5:33, the fact there’s six spies implies they are losing

0:32 QWARKTASTIC!

7:16 this bit is so accurate it’s kinda scary

I think the only major subclass you missed is Huntsman sniper. I think the line between subclass and "slightly different playstyle" is pretty thin. I'd personally say it's a subclass if it fundamentally changes how your own team and the enemy interacts with you. The Plog isn't a subclass despite being a different playstyle because to the enemy the fundamental rule of: "try not to get set on fire" stays the same. A Trolldier doesn't really change the fact that the enemy has to look out for bombing soldiers (Maybe employing sentry guns, snipers, or vigilant heavies to shoot them down when they try and get that sick med pick; But it does change how their own team perceives them, for example a normal soldier is a great person to Kritz, a trolldier is not. That's my personal definition anyway, but I main medic so my entire view of every class basically boils down to how dangerous/useful they are.

Demoknight: Its a really unique subclass so you wanna try it, then you realized how fun it is to chase people with a sword that's why you kept playing demoknight Battle Engi: Your'e sick of your team not giving a f*ck about you, or you're tired with turtling a nest but still wanna play engineer Hoovy: Idk, you're probably a chill guy who just wanna have fun Pybro: Either you're a good guy who helps engineer since they're being harrassed, or you're an engineer main who understands the pain of the other engineers Trolldier: You discovered how to rocket jump and can't get over the euphoria you feel from successful rocket jumps. Or you wanna troll and have a good time......and maybe harass new players who are confused how the f*ck can you fly and kill them with a shovel. Battle Medic: You wanna challenge yourself by giving the enemy a handicap, and probably piss off your teammates. Or maybe you just enjoy punishing enemies who think you're a free kill Gun-spy: You have a really good aim and can maximize the ambassador, or you saw elmaxo's gun spy vid

Straight to the point, love it

I CANT BELIEVE THAT DEATH GRIPS WAS IS A RANDOM TF2 VID I WATCHED! THEY ARE SO UNDERRATED! (in the beggining where demoknight kills other mercenaries, get got by death grips plays, in the part where heavy kills a soldier in the intro, hustle bones plays)

I appreciate the use of the deadlist grips

Ay finally, some recognition for the trolldier sub-class, as a trollider main that has dedicated over 1.2k hours solely on the sub-class, I can provide more information on the sub-class as well as a few bits and pieces of correction: "Trolldier is a sub-class all about market gardening" --For this part, at its core level, it is actually very true, the art of trolldier solely relies on your skill ability to perform a crit shovel attack on an unsuspecting (Or if skilled enough, suspecting) individuals. However, there are so many mechanics and different levels that must come into play before you dive in for a 'crit shovel kill'. Things such as health, enemy awarness to your attack, ammo count, and the ability to pull off the kill must be taken into account for the trolldier class. "Not to say its easy, it's actually really f*cking hard, you first have to master rocket jumping which is complicated enough, and on top of that, you have to learn to land at an optimal position near your opponent and time the swing of the market gardener so it registers." --Hahaha this point is 90% true, but truth be told, trolldier is fairly easy to learn to an extent, however, it is unbearably harder to master. Alot of mechanics I mentioned above is a great way to show your skillset as a trolldier, it is relatively learnable and easy to hit a market gardener, but what comes AFTER you land (or attempt to land the gardener) is the 'hard' part of trolldier, factors such as your health play into account since you only doing ONE ROCKET JUMP can bring your health from 200 to a measely 140-170 JUST from fall damage, combine that with your SECOND rocket jump to get away when you land or fail the kill brings it even lower to 70-120. thats light enough to be considered a scout/sniper/medic class and combining that with your slow speed and large hitbox means death if you're not mobile enough with rocket jumping (And even so if you miss the kill). You will always find skilled trolldiers actively rocket jumping to and from health kits on maps, this is to ensure that their health is kept high so that survive any incoming fire or fall damage present once a garden or rocket jump is achieved. "It is a sub-class most countered by its own skill level" --THISSSSSSSS, this quote alone summarise the whole of trolldiers ability to be countered. Alot of people have the misconception of varying playstyles/classes that can counter trolldier easily to an extent, but in reality, the players skill level is what mostly hinders the sub-classes effectiveness in a pub match (Besides mini-sentries those things can be snapped outta existence). Most common misconceptions include classes such as scouts, snipers and even pyros. A few people starting out at trolldiers say that scouts are too agile and deal high damage at close range so once you rocket jump to them its a death sentence, pyros airblast you away once you get close to them and can pull an easy fire and flaregun combo, and that snipers can snipe you out of the air if their skill level is higher than average due to their ability to stay out of far range. And for the most part, this is true, but as an experienced trolldier, these classes do not counter me at all during my game because of my skill level that was developed through experience, I'm able to rocket jump off walls at a speed of Mach 3 and pull off quick short-timed rocket jumps that push me forward while travelling only 6 inches off the ground to achieve a kill on these classe. Placement of rockets to know how far and fast you go is just as important as the ability to coordinate your timing of a market gardener. If any of you guys have any questions about the trolldier sub-class, feel free to ask any questions at all and I'll try to the best of my ability to answer them :D

5:00 as a pyro main i feel sorry for all the pybros

Really glad I came across this channel

This just makes me appreciate the ability SoundSmith has to market garden consistantly. I couldn't ever learn how to rocket jump to where I exactly wanted to go before I watched his tutorial on how

I think it's worth mentioning that TECHNICALLY, the sandwich heavy is a subclass of fat scout, since shotgun is stock. :3

Just just made me watch a 10 minute video on a small part of a game I have never played. Great job

That was a cool cut between Trolldier clips around 9 mins.

Other Subclass I mostly use: Fit Heavy: A Sniper subclass that mainly uses the SMG, sometimes the best pair is Cleaner's Carbine and the Bushwacka Arson Scout: A Pyro that uses the shotgun or the Panic Attack, along with the Powerjack for increased mobility

My favorite sub class is the engie knight. The sheer shock factor of an engineer actually trying to close distance makes everyone panic. Or they just ignore you and let you walk past them and beat their medic down while they focus on literally anything else.

love the music pics

MC-Ride truly is the best subclass

too much in depth talks these days, this is nice and simple! just appreciating a core mechanic of tf2, and man I'm all for it

speed and bleed scout is a super underrated subclass and depending on the users skill as scout, can be absolutely brutal to the other teams major players

R.I.P. El Maxo's fan. Thanks for the vid! It served as a good podcast kinda thing while at work. Good luck with future 100 day challenges.

2:16 excellent choice of heads

Some call being a pybro a mentality while others keep telling me it's brainrot. I'm still on the fence but my neurologist has definitely made up his mind.

0:06 ELMAXO IS NOIDED

this feels like a funke video i love it

Watching this on new year :D

My favourite subclass is the branching out of the demoknight subclass known as caber knight, it's actually pretty insane, it can one shot a fully overhealed heavy (at the right circumstances) and has massive blast radius which ALSO gets crit boosted from the charge which means it will most likely kill the medic as well; oh and killing somebody with an already exploded caber is also really satisfying, since you know you are at a disadvantage.

Your editing/pacing style reminds me a lot of the likes of FUNKe and Lazy Purple. That of course is a great thing. You're on the right track to become another TFtuber among the greats, keep it up.

1:03 - 1:06 Finally hearing this underrated song in public

One semi-subclass I like is "cart-pushing demo/spy". Either pain train pill-knight or dead ringer spycicle l'etrange spy. If you know when to use it (and not), it's surprisingly effective.

I love how well death grips music fits chaotic tf2 clips lol

I’m really enjoying the random inclusion of Death Grips on a couple of different TF2 KZfaqrs videos lately, it’s a good mashup

respect for the music choices btw

i love the use of death grips here

The phlog can be useful on pybro, so long as there's two pybros. One to reflect, the other to focus on melting spies.

It's a shame that the other swords weren't mentioned as they give a lot of different roles for the demoknight like the tide turner and the arabian sword thing can just let you chain charges.

The funny thing is, there are other games with subclasses. Like Terraria as an amazing example, in it you have four main classes: Melee/Warrior, Mage, Ranger, and Summoner. But there are sub classes to these classes. Like Ranger there are two that I know of, Archer and Gunner. And with Melee there are a load of sub classes that I don’t really wanna spell out. I just think that’s kinda cool.

You should do a video on every (or most widely excepted) subclasses, would be interest for sure

Aight, I got this variant of fat scout. Taking the panic attack and fists of steel, you get in really close with the FoS damage resistance. Then you swap to shotgun, the panic attack for fast swap and more pellets, to take down enemies in a quick burst. For a primary, I would suggest the tomislav for its rev speed. Thus, the point-blank wall. Take a demo coming for a melee when you have the fists out: swap to tomislav at mid range, or charge them with the panic attack to get 2 clean shots on them. Some sniper harassing you? Fists of steel can be used to get to cover, while you get a health pack and flank the sniper. Another heavy? Fists and circle strafe at point blank. Pyro can airblast or burn you? Back off and play the tomislav. Scout getting in close with a shotgun? Fists of steel will slow down his shotgun shots, and you can melee them. Sentry? Fists of steel to escape, maybe peek a wall. Soldier with rockets? Tank the Salvo with fists, then fire back while they reload, or escape. Trolldier in the sky? Shotgun 'em or minigun to throw off the jump.

really should've swapped out hoovy for huntsman or dragons fury, as hoovy is more of just another way to play the game without objective, something any other class can do, and huntsman and dragon fury really change the way you play pyro and sniper

i absolutely did not ever expect death grips to happen during my tf2 demonknight video

3:57 in recent years they have even worse reputation in some sectors for the whole mimi sentry thing

Subclasses and a slightly different way to play the game with extra weapons in general is what carries TF2 in terms of gameplay variety and replayability Even with the large amount of videos related to Subclasses, I don't think they get nearly enough credit, which shows how important they are

I present to you the lightmedic subclass. The playstyle is simple, you just throw madmilk and kill people to get small health packs loadout: -any scattergun -madmilk -candy cane

The assassin spy that will jump off high places with the kuni is TECHNICALLY a subclass all the assassin spies say.

Battle engineer was my jam. So much fun.

Being a pybro really pays off, especially when helping engines in stressful situations when they can't defend on their own. I'm not good with any pyro melees so the homewrecker seems like a good choice to me

goddamn the art of that thumbnail

I love how fat scout is more intense then actually mowing down and terrorizing enemies

TF2 video? Death Grips in the first minute? subbed.

Another banger man. Genuinely some of the highest quality content this community has to offer. Here's to future success.

Hey elmaxo,here is a subclass I made for the scout called the "Atom Scout" Weapon Loadout:Force of Nature,Bonl Atomic Punch and the Atomizer. Basically,drink the bonk,run to the backlines with your bat out. Now most people use the bat for its triple jump but we're focused on that mini crit. Slap an enemy with it to do 40 damage. Then when they notice,pull out the Force of Nature and blast them doing 92 damage at the very least while sending them into your team. In total,it deals 132 damage at the very least or 155 damage at most which can barely 1 shot a medic but even if they tank it,you're blasting them to your team. If anyone tried it out,tell me if this is viable

Damn this guy doesn't want his video monetized just so he can play death grips. Respect man, respect.

Now I want a '1,000 kills with the market gardener vid' to really play into elmaxo's masochism.

Drunk Irishman? Seems you're drunk yourself

Background instrumental song on 1:33 is Git Got from Death Grips

I just realized you used death grips a lot in this video and yes thank you

elmaxo being a death grips enjoyer was the least i was expecting tbh

4:20 Ignore the Wescue wanger*

Support scout / Scoot : -any scattergun - mad milk - fan o war Objective: Use mad milk to cover enemies at the front line, stay with your team. Smack dangerous targets from behind with fan o war and let the team do the job. KILL ANYONE CLOSE TO THE MEDIC. Spy check with mad milk. Extinguish with mad milk. Let others use tele. Don't take health packs from medics. Pros: team loves you Cons: you will probably die often if not careful and won't get that many kills and more assists.

I love the burst damage god while being a super light glass cannon as a scout with the sodapopper and fan o war with a winger yk get a fat flank on an enemy and deal 200+ dmg in 2 shots

imagine leaving your poor family just to crouch around the battlefield with sandwich or a sign with sus image

Death Grips - Get Got, Death Grips - Hustle Bones are the songs from the opening
