In my opinion i find it a upgrade to Force a Nature if you dont like knockback

[comicaze]

I love the Soda Popper, though I use the scattergun or FAN more, I love it

[laggy]

am i the only one that finds 2 shotting people with this satisfying

[TigerKirby]

5:24 So much feels as I watch this. Scout steals the medkit and then allied Pyro is too stupid to right click.

[thinkublu]

I fucking love the soda popper, partly because of the faster reload - most people seem to forget that.

[Poopafartium]

I recently got used to the soda popper and its probably the second best scout primary. I do not hope they nerf it to the ground

[pigy]

BASE jumper is banned in comp, so what isn't

[kevinstuart]

this video will now be know by me as "I find out all of my loadout but the secondary is banned in comp".

[didyoufow]

the soda popper is ok and it should not get nerfed

[NoFlu]

"It gives Scout an unfair advantage against Soldier and Demo with it's Hype Mode"
Well damn better add some more classes that could fight him... how about a guy that can aim a few seconds and then shoot him in his body to deal 150 damage or a guy that is like really fat and carries something akin to a modern gatling gun or some dude that can build like a thing that automatically aims at enemies, thus making mince meat out of classes that have low
Well sad that we only have 4 classes in TF2: Soldier, Demo, Scout and Medic

[FlawedbyDesign]

No, it's balanced. There will always be soft counters in a class based shooters.The dpm is the same to stock even with faster firerate.

[Widdle-dz]

to be honest the problem is not the weapon but the format its played in not accommodating classes that would counter the weapon

3:26 *tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap*


"NO!"

[Perfare]

This is nothing to the Wall-O-Nature. It blows down those Mexic- I mean people down in a snap. (This is a refrence to a joke gun btw)

[GraveUypo]

my opinion is "dont balance weapons based on competitive".
i'm tired of seeing games ruined by that mindset.

[immortalsun]

3:52 Is that goddamn Soldier invincible or what?

[skyslasher]

It’s honestly my favorite scout primary for mvm because that mobility is priceless

[AutoSugaR_]

The soda popper actually shreds heavies. Seriously, its so damn easy to fly around them and just hold m1

[masterman]

At the beginning you should have said "hey guys, what's poppin'?"

[r.downgrade]

No, this was pretty spot on, though, I'd have been interested to hear what some potential balances to this weapon for competitive might be.
