I had to pad it out a bit to hit the 10m mark...
*edit at 9:20 it's Badwater and at 10:51 it's Dustbowl. Sorry I was drunk (Demo main).

6:19 high level spy plays right there, runing at your enemy with a sapper

[Reragi]

why i like the sticky -spammer- launcher: putting stickies down around an ubered pair and laugh as they *realize that their fate is sealed by my drunken scottish power when their uber fades off*

[zeiccia]

It's over Soldier! I have the low ground!

[jamesstell]

I personally have found that a ceiling is a good place for stickies. So rather that on the floor around a corner try the ceiling. Players never look up, and you can often catch them unaware, while one on the floor would be easily spotted.

"that soldier got fancy gear, so he's probably good" xxD that me me giggles mate

The stickybomb launcher is hands down my favorite weapon in the game. Some of my favorite things to do are:
Arcing stickies at different heights so three or more bombs land on a player at the exact same time.
Throwing a sticky at someone’s feet who’s pushing your face, then immediately switching to your grenade launcher/iron bomber, firing it, and detonating the sticky at the exact same time you land a direct pipe.
Learning how to air detonate on a bombing soldier - juggling a soldier trapped against the sky box is so beautiful.
Tons of other things like zoning an entire team, trapping a player between two stickies and smacking them in the face with a pipe because they can’t step left or right, etc.

That and all of the movement you can create by pogoing and sticky jumping. Learning roll outs feels like playing a game within a game.

Uncle Toofty is a very good explosion man

[matomatic]

I'm not sure you've heard of this high IQ play, but there's this weird room which the enemy team appears from, and for some reason whenever you place stickies on the door to that room you end up with a lot of kills. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not but those people, who you've outplayed, also tell you to uninstall tf2.

You're the only demoman main youtuber i know everyone else "mains" demoknight

[snackermantm]

10:51 Here's a very quick example on "Gold Rush"?
That's *Dustbowl* not Gold Rush xD

[CaptainFisticuffs]

this is why i main demoman. hes just SO USEFUL, and i HATE SCOUTS even though i ALSO love playing scout.

[JohnVitutus]

Before your first Demoman 101 video I mained spy after it I started training my pipes and sticky placements etc. Now i'm pretty good demoman :D

[minty]

When using the quickiebomb -spammer- launcher, it is safe to treat it like the detonator but for a demoman, except it sticks to surfaces.

Even after 7.500 hours in tf2 I learned a thing or two..thnxs

[TKsh]

Great guide, I'm learning how to predict projectiles and this is very useful, as much as I think the M1+M2 is still ridiculous easy and powerful especially in Casual.

"ITS OVER SOLDIER! I HAVE THE LOW GROUND!" -Demoman

Anyways thanks a lot Toofty. This helped very much. Came to realize I was doing a fair amount of what you stated but knowing how to properly do it will and has helped significantly. I always struggled using my stickies in combat (especially when things are getting heated). Thanks again.

[lamchops]

Hey toofty! Thank you. That’s it. Just thanks. Also, I think I was in your game.
