And so it begins, this is VERY much a series that only gets better and better with each episode, and as weird as this is, i CANNOT wait for you to get to how it FEELS to suffer, since that will show you a lot more of source spaghetti.

It's probably better that you're watching this now that you have a lot more knowledge about how the game works. Also, as a fan of both of your guys' channels, if you see this Lazy, PLEASE let him react to the rest!

What actually happens about the little elevated ledge trick is that most TF2 players are conditioned to take wide turns just before rounding a corner. You never want to be hugging the wall because of the way ledges, walls, and player collision boxes all interact weird, you don't want to be caught by a heavy or Pyro as you turn the corner, try to strafe or backpedal away, only to be caught by map geometry and fail an escape.

If you didn’t know already, all of the “How it Feels” videos are filmed in competitive environments (specifically Highlander which is 9v9, one of each class) so he really is showing you the most optimal way to play each class in these videos

Remember to do the extras for Demoman, Pyro, and Sniper. How it feels to Suffer is also an extra video but it’s more about his struggles in SFM than stuff he didn’t include in the Engie video. Watch it if you want, but keep that in mind.

FINALLY, THANK YOU I really hope you like this series because lazy's videos are QUALITY CONTENT i couldn't wait more for you to finally react to this

In the strategic sense of things, a medic getting killed makes a MUCH bigger impact than a spy getting killed, so for a spy main, dying immediately after backstabbing the medic is something to be taken in stride. The medic's uber can make or break a game, so they are priority number one in a team fight.

Again, the only issue Lazy had with reaction videos in the first place are when reactors use their ENTIRE video in the reaction with no substance. Lazy prefers that reactors would do something *unique* with their reaction, such as more editing or use it in a more constructive format. I believe other higher reaction channels who reacted to Lazy (such as MHGR or Chicago reacts) interrupts and provides reviews, feedbacks or discussions and questions commentary in the middle of their reactions. Which makes them at least a little more distinctive from the original. Plus Lazy was absent from social media mostly this year, which might be why he hasn't asked to taken down any reaction videos yet. While of course, I don't speak for Lazy himself and I could've missed something. But unless there's proof that he actually confirm approval of full reactions. I still think it's safer to blur out or watermark or any sorts of editing to his videos in the bottom corner of your reaction for now.

YEAH LETS GOOOOO!!!!

Glad to see you finally react to "How it feels" series here, it's always awesome to make new reacting KZfaqrs descend into the TF2 madness, and Lazy's work is just amazing

FINALLY THE TIME HAS COME!!!! I been waiting for this for so long and I'm sure... This is going to worth every second of wait, both for you to watch this videos and for me to watch your reactions.... Time to get the popcorn I was saving for almost two years just for this moment... Yummy, 2 year old popcorn.

Possibly my favorite TF2 "tips and tricks" series, with a good split between actually useful thoughts and funny moments, usually combining those.

How it feels to play Spy was the first of Lazy Purple’s “How it Feels to Play” series, If I remember correctly the second one was for Scout. I am not 100% of the order of the videos but it went around this order: Spy, Scout, Heavy, Soldier, Engineer, Sniper, Pyro, and Demoman. Lazy Purple is yet to do the Medic video, but someone made a parody video that looks like a Lazy Purple medic video but it is not

Finally! It's here! God I hope lazy is OK with this.

its best to watch them in order of release (in my opinion) so just to help you i'll order them from oldest to newest: 1. Spy (which youve just seen) 2. Scout 3. Heavy 4. Soldier 5. Engineer+extra 6.Sniper+extra 7.Pyro+extra 8.Demoman+extra medic currently pending

There is a channel here, Gaijin Goomba, that has an video on Spy (it's part of their Which Ninja series). It's actually an actual technique IRL that translates well to games for stealth characters, it's English name is the "Quail Hiding technique". Gaijin goes into the details if your interested (as well as whether or not Spy could be called a true ninja or not)

Get to the rest of this series immediately. LazyPurple is awesome!

Stabbystabby is considered the best spy player in the world, and is the one who invented trickstabs

Fun fact that "hide by ledge" thing he is describing is an actual ninja stealth technique called the quail technique. I'm not even joking. It is literally taking advantage of certain psychological blind spots people have when conducting searches. People want to be in the open so that if the target tries to turn on them they have to break cover and become visible. People also tend to naturally check the largest areas of cover first, and tend not to think of anything that could be hidden behind while crouched until the larger options have been explored. Crouching or, in the ninja technique's case curling up into a tight ball, also lets you hide behind much smaller cover than people would believe possible meaning that their brain discards the option. Infiltration and stealth techniques are really wild to learn about and make you realize that you have a lot more blind spots than you ever thought possible.

Make sure you watch these in the Playlist order. There are little references to previous videos in newer ones that you will miss if you watch them in a random order.

OH ive been waiting for this. These videos are great!

HE DID IT!!! THE MAN ACTUALLY JUST DID IT!!! WOOOOOOOO

I’ve been waiting for this!

Yay, Hope you'll be able to do the rest of them. Though personally I think you should have started with Lazy's TF2 is a Timeless Masterpiece and Tf2 is Perfect SHUT UP, no only are they as good as the rest of the How it Feels series but also there's lots of funny moments like a blooper of SoundSmith messing up a line he had or a skit. As a reminder the series order should go Spy, Scout, Soldier, Engineer, Suffering in SFM, Sniper, Sniper Extras, Pyro, Pyro Extras, Demo and most recently Demo Extras. Also i'd suggest having captions on for both the engie and sniper videos were unfortunately the original music got copy claimed and thus had to be changed even though Lazy was talking in both parts.

Number one advice: If there is an enemy spy its ALWAYS either a spy or a scout even tho you dont have these classes on your team so ye

This just made my day thank you for reacting to this.

Ive watch lazy purples videos a hundred times each

You probably haven't heard of Stabby because he is really old school. Like, back during the days when Muselk/STAR were KZfaq's primary TF2 content creators. He posted a few videos recently and they're worth a watch since they're just simple montages. But Stabby really was the king on the Spys years ago, and many of his notes/lessons have been passed down countless times between players about how Spy works as a class in general.

Can't wait till you get to the running joke of the series also merry Christmas

Asking for LazyPurple is the best idea.. Since he'll probably look and think uh... Should I... Uh... Forget it.

I am so glad you're reacting to these. I hope he has no problem with you doing so.

You finally watched it holy crap been waiting

As a follow up to this one, can I recommend the TF2 Spy episode of Which Ninja from Gaijin Goombah? The title is "TF2 Spy is a Ninja, FIGHT ME! - Which Ninja" but you could probably find it by just searching "which ninja spy" It goes into a little detail for possible reasons why people ignore shorter ledges for hiding places as well as potential ways one might play as a spy. It also references Lazy's video on spy for an example.

Finally I wait for this for sooo many time

I can't wait for you to get to the Pyro and Demoman videos, they're my favorites! :D (Still waiting for him to make the Medic episode, apperantly it's in production rn)

I will make sure to watch all the videos instantly before they get taken down if asked so that i dont lose any reaction to his amazing videos :)

I remember watching Gaijin Goomba explained the reason why the spy escape cliff works so well... I think it was one of his "how ninja" videos...

These get better with each video, the ones I'm especially looking forward to are soldier, engineer, and demo (and the how it feels to suffer vid)

OH SHOOT WE'RE REALLY DOING THIS? Make sure to get the playlist he made with all the extra videos too so you can watch it in order

As a follow up to this, you should check out GaijinGoombah's "Which Ninja" video on the Spy, where he references this video quite a bit and explains the real life ninja tactics utelized in Spy gameplay. It's pretty fascinating.

I've been waiting for this reaction since I was conceived. I cant wait til we get to my favorite

HERE WE GO HELL YEA

FINNALY

yoooo if you could react to stabby stabby content that would be really cool :D hes like the guy the community credits for inventing trickstabs and one of the oldest spy mains (ever), pretty much any of his montages should be really fun to watch!

You can react to the videos of the spy guides of hiper, it is Spanish but it has subtitles in English.

Fun fact: Gaijin Goombah actually brought up this video, specifically the part about the hiding next to a platform thing, in his series Which Ninja and explained how it works and how it's a legit ninja technique.

You can actually join his Discord server, So atleast you have the chance of LazyPurple messaging you in Discord.

Hey Kyle. If you do end up watching the rest, we all highly, highly reccomend that you watch all of this series in order and even the behind the scenes in order as well. Thanks for the content!

I’m so excited you’re watching to Lazy Purple. Maybe when you’re done with his videos, you should look into videos by Fawful’s Minion.

after watching all these you should watch his videos about the making of these videos

FINALLY YES

Finally, Its happening

YES FINALLY

imagine liking stealth more than sabotage this post was made by demo gang

i like how he laughs at so many things i wouldnt

Am I the only one who thinks those drawn-in viewmodels would actually be cool to have in-game?

Could you try and Watch 'Which Ninja: Spy', not as a reaction (maybe) just by yourself. It is a video by GajinGoomba that discussed how much of a ninja Spy from TF2 is. And it also talks about some parts of this video specifically.

Spy is my 2nd most played class in TF2 (my 1st is sniper)

It’s happening people stay calm

Pls continue

I strongly recommend you watch the Behind the Scenes videos after their respective episode. And try to watch them in release order. They aren’t exactly made to be watched hap hazardously And don’t talk over them, try to pause whenever you go on about something lol

Whats awsome is that his how it feels videos just get better from here

NO WAY LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PHLOGGERS! HE FINALLY WATCHED IT!

8:31 i can confirm MeEeEEeEDIC!

Can I recommend you react to anime abandon specifically Mad Bull 34 and Lady Death

OMG IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING

Poggers dude

I remember like a year ago i asked you in the comments of a video to react to his stuff and you said he wasn't really liking people reacting to his stuff and I was like alright then so anyway when you said in a video from a week ago you were going to react to it I was like hol' up, wait, come again. I'm not complaining or anything, just thought I'll share.

If you can react to the rest of these, include the 'extras from how it feels' videos.

YYYYYAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!

There is a chance Lazy might message you about a take down request, I'd keep an eye out on your email, Twitter messages, Instagram messages, etc..

I think you should upload TF2 clips to your gaming channel. That would be pretty cool.

I take it back the third degree is good

Ok cool but when are you going to react to the How it FEELS to play series by lazy purple-

Pog
