I'm pretty confident this is the "cause" of flamethrower mojo. The flame particles spawn location is based off of how your ping changes.
The flamethrower and how it works can be really dumb sometimes.
EDIT: To "fix" flamethrower mojo, spike your ping up relatively high (like 300ping+) and then let it go back to normal.Pyro Match POV, Brandons Week 1 RGL S3 - Ashville vs SHITKenonArtulii2019-08-06 | Logs: http://logs.tf/2297208 Twitch: twitch.tv/kenonartulii
A romantic love story between a pyro main who is getting really bad fps and the roof on the left side of ashville.
Uncommentated, I may commentate one of these matches a week or just do that over at my twitch channel after the fact. Dunno. Not really much to commentate in this one.
My personal favorite moment is the reflect at 15:57. I'm planning on uploading the next match (vs Bruh Hoovy on Swiftwater) on Thursday.Average Skill of an RGL Advanced Highlander PyroKenonArtulii2019-07-09 | This was in a match. If this moron can be considered the best pyro in advanced, then anyone can.
Real talk though, I'm probably gonna upload my demos from this season's matches without commentary when the season is over. Halves probably separated so I don't have to recompile the vids. So be ready for a big wall of spam of 45 minute long videos every few days in a month or so.
No frag vid this time because I am bad lmaoCray Airblast Mechanics in 5-6 MinutesKenonArtulii2018-08-21 | Hi guys I was gonna make an actually edited video on this topic but a lot of things happened back to back in a row, including but not limited to discovering airblast pogoing, joining a local band and getting drunk too much, The International 8, Monster Hunter: World coming to PC, and my second monitor dying.
In the one where I airblast the dude thats going fast, he actually mostly gets his extra vertical velocity from the airblast's 600 push and not from the projection, whoops! Hard to get the timing right on that kind of thing. I should have jumped. But the things I was saying were correct to my knowledge in how they apply.
If anyone wants to make an actually edited video on this topic, feel free to contact me and I can give you all the information I have on this if it's not clear from the video. I can probably give you a more clear idea of what I'm saying if I had like 40 minutes, but I am not gonna make a video that is 40 minutes long.Retaining Jetpack State on GroundKenonArtulii2018-07-13 | An addendum to my last vid kinda. Some more info about jetpack state that I found out today by testing something.
You can technically det jump from an airblast pogo and if you do them both right you gain enough height to do more stomp damage to them and can repeat the process. But talk about ridiculously hard things to do lol.High Level Jetpack MechanicsKenonArtulii2018-07-11 | Don't try these at home. Actually, do try these at home. Especially sending people to the stratosphere with the jetpack, that one is one that you should use in 6s if you play pyro. Nothing like launching the pocket from snakewater's last choke to your spawn.Advanced pyro shenanigansKenonArtulii2018-06-14 | Also titled "tfw ur sketchek but you die after every clip". The jetpack is a lot better than I gave it initial credit for.
Hi this is drunk tmp making this description how ya doin people. That cray airblast vid is basically never gonna come at this rate, sorry.
On the plus side, I recently (today) switched video editors from Lightworks to Hitfilm Express and holy hell does it make editing videos faster, so I gotta say I will probably try to release more stuff.
Side note I actually release a lot of stuff unlisted so I'm thinking of making a "TMP's secret stash" playlist of my unlisted, low quality, unedited videos. I'll put a link later if I make it, and maybe make a video on it.
Drunk me thinks these clips suck but that they're very indicative of my play in general. Side note whats up with those heavies at like 1:06, they act like they're used to getting launched to the skybox constantly.Projectile-Less Airblast Pogo/Chain Det Jump from Upward Blu Spawn to Upward Red ForwardKenonArtulii2018-05-25 | Uhhhh, this one might not be practical either. These names are also getting out of hand.
Is this impressive enough for you guys yet, or do I have to go all the way into the stupid deathpit at the end? I dunno how I'm even gonna get past 3rd. There's a theory in my mind about using a faster setup on the 2nd player to get more speed so I can surf the ramp to the right of where I end, but I dunno if I can even do it.
Ima try that later tho, this is really fun.
If you don't understand what's happening here, basically I'm airblasting people up and then fall on them, and the game treats it like I'm on a moving platform for a frame. The game then adds the speed that I airblast him (or technically his current velocity) to my current velocity w/o applying friction because it's basically no time spent on the ground (his head), but enough to register that I was on him. This means you go really fast, really quickly.Projectile-less Double Pogo Airblast Jump from Upward Red Forward to Cliff KitKenonArtulii2018-05-22 | uhhhhhh, this is probably impractical. This airblast mechanics vid may take a bit longer than I expected.
Testing for the airblast vid I'm making and I find this one out randomly.
I think this one was possible with old airblast also, but the velocities were so much less, so you couldn't get as much outta it.Loop de LoopKenonArtulii2018-05-21 | :) A consequence of new airblasts and some fun w/ the commands
Cray airblast vid coming within a week. Probably. All I gotta say is that cray airblast is like, the most pyro main thing possible. I hope you guys are ready for math.#7 Silver PyroKenonArtulii2018-03-24 | Production of this vid crashed and burned and this is the result. Kinda like this season for me. But hey, figured you guys wouldn't hate it.
Song is "Bring Back the Funk" by PrototypeRaptor, if you're wondering. Most footage taken from scrims and matches. A handful were from hlpugs.tf. You can probably guess which ones those are.
Thanks to IA and BnH for making silver super fun this season. Also thanks to Darknecrid and Lambda for putting up with me groaning constantly while making this.1 Minute of Odd Jungle Inferno MechanicsKenonArtulii2018-01-18 | These are things you may not know. I haven't seen them mentioned anywhere at least, aside from the axtingiushing pyros one.
This is basically a compilation of a lot of unlisted videos that I make and show like 2 or 3 people, so if you guys are interested I can make one of these occasionally when I run into more stuff.
(This video is also proof that, despite having a bachelors in math, I don't know how to count)Infinite ft range in a pub lolKenonArtulii2018-01-16 | Before Jungle Inferno, flames inherited the velocity of the pyro, which means the flames would go in a direction to where you were moving.
Post Jungle Inferno, flames inherit the speed of the pyro, so they'll go towards where you're aiming with the speed you're going at. (This makes aiming the flamethrower like 500x easier than it was even w/o the new damage detection method)
So that means nowadays, if you use a tele trap and damage to increase your velocity to ridiculous amounts, you can aim a super long range flamethrower at people. You could do this in the past, but it was more trouble than it was worth speaking that you could only aim in one direction and the flames were invisible so it was hard to tell what direction it was unless you set it up beforehand w/ very specific angles.
Sorry about the noises I make, I make em while I play and am concentrating.A Flare JumpKenonArtulii2017-12-18 | So right now in tf2 there is this silly bug where if you spawn a flare inside of a wall, it acts as a detonator shot immediately. This has like, no practical consequences aside from pyro being able to kinda build uber and giving you a way to trip people out mid fight as you fling your corpse at them and make them wonder if he was using flare or detonator. This is because the angles you gotta use are stupid for jumping. This is one of those stupid jumps that you can potentially maybe somehow actually use once in a million games, or until they fix it in a year. Thanks to VAVLIE for telling me about this.Dragons Fury Bug post Jungle InvasionKenonArtulii2017-10-21 | EDIT: The flamethrowers do not do double the dps, that was my mistake for not understanding the system well enough. But they do do double the damage per hit as of last time, just they hit half as slow.
Thread describing the stuff that's happening I think. Add Dragon's Fury to that list?
I'm gonna go with a larger video on the flame mechanics and how they work now in a few days. They're actually really cool, and there's some silly consequences due to how they work that I'll explain out of it now.How to Cancel Phlog Taunts NowadaysKenonArtulii2017-08-12 | *As an addendum, the 3rd way requires you to be on top of the building you kill.

Det King 2 whenever. I dunno, whenever I feel like filtering through all my garbage footage. I'd do a talk on my thoughts on the upcoming pyro update, but it'd just be me saying it should be called the Summer Heat update and would be full of me complaining about how pyros react to updates and tell them to not go bananas any time the pyro got changed at all.How to do Tiles to Bats (on pl_upward)KenonArtulii2017-04-20 | Unedited because I am especially lazy woo.

(that feel when you put more effort into the thumbnail than you do the actual video)Titanfall 2s tutorial is pretty interestingKenonArtulii2016-11-28 | So I recently bought Titanfall 2 because I heard it has fun movement, it's a source game, and it's also TF2 so I can technically put videos of it on this channel if I want to.
I was messing around waiting for the game to finish downloading. Frag grenades make titanfall 2's tutorial pretty buggy. I should do QA testing.

Sorry I haven't released any tf2 vids in uh, a year or something. tf2's kinda boring and they took away my favorite loadout to play with during tough break, which kinda helped to kill my drive to play. I'll probably do a retrospective talking vid on pyro in general in a bit.It just worksKenonArtulii2016-03-03 | Another thing that I made for my upcoming project that I pretty much had to release before it's done.

Ask your doctor if S Strafing is right for you.
I am also really bad at S-oriented Strafing.Dealing with PhlogistinatorKenonArtulii2015-12-20 | Hey guys, if you're decent at this game you know this stuff and I know you know this stuff. This one's intended for people who aren't. I pretty much made this video for two reasons.
1. Phlog pyro is stupidly easy to deal with even after the update and no one inexperienced seems to know how to do it.
2. I wanted to test out using a script and volume settings when making a video before I go into making the movement guide videos.
Don't expect me to make daily videos, this is literally panic video making because of the update making everyone go literally insane. Myself included.
Hope you enjoy it and learn from it if you're new, and I hope you can hear me if you're experienced. Go out there and kill all those mean phlog pyros.TMPs Thoughts on Pyro in Tough Break UpdateKenonArtulii2015-12-19 | Sorry tickzf; I removed that segment I told you about. Didn't fit the flow of the video well enough.
I'm kinda biased towards this update because I'm fairly flamethrower heavy as a pyro naturally, but I really have been enjoying the way the flamethrower changes have changed the dynamic of pyro.
In the sense that they actually didn't change the dynamic of pyro much, they just made the flamethrower feel stronger. And that makes pyro overall way stronger. Not so much against scouts, but against literally anything else, hell yeah.
Combos are still more efficient than burning and totally necessary against good players, but burning itself is very very strong when you can actually do it.
EDIT: Oh and like every single optimized combo except for vs 125 is basically a faster kill now even with the weapon switch being slightly slower who knewDegreaser is officially worthlessKenonArtulii2015-12-17 | Released this video like 5 minutes after I downloaded the update. Decided to capture the general theme of fake pyro mains before the update and after.Pyro 100k #5KenonArtulii2015-11-23 | 100k on ctf_thundermountain (YAY MANNPOWER!) with Degreaser/Flare/Powerjack. Sorry for it being like 6 months or whatever since the last one.
I record a lot of these locally but a lot end up having crap sound levels or I run out of things to talk about or I end up getting mad and cutting it because it's 50 minutes long and I'm not gonna make you sit through that kind of crap.
This one ended up being so short that I ended up deciding not to even edit it. Sorry that you won't be able to track kills easily.
Mannpower is also really fun to do in these, so I finally wanted to upload one since mannpower came out officially. This one ended up being rather ridiculous.
Final score: 100-3 in 25:13 [+4 when recording stopped]Detonator King of TF2CenterKenonArtulii2015-10-20 | AKA "TMP's guide to having fun on pyro in tf2center" AKA "TMP and crabf ruin stabby's lobby" AKA "TMP det jumps at platinum player saam for an entire upward center and somehow manages to get 2 kills on him and throws them immediately into a video the next day" AKA "PEWWWWWW PEWWWWWW PEWWWWWW for 4 and a half minutes straight".
Who said Axtinguisher isn't a good weapon? Kappa
Modern Detonator is so fun. More people need to use modern detonator+axtinguisher, it's just way snappier and awesome than it used to be.
Song is 8-Bit Adventure by Adhesive Wombat.
Go look at his soundcloud: soundcloud.com/adhesivewombatDont Give Up On Your LoveKenonArtulii2015-08-09 | People say that axtinguisher is useless and that detonator is inferior to flare.
That's probably true but don't give up on your dreams. This is one of my favorite loadouts and the buff to the det jump for self jumps is just perfect for this. It makes this kind of stuff super good and more importantly, super flashy.
And in the end this looks way more impressive than a degreaser into flare, and that's all that matters.Pyro 100k #4KenonArtulii2015-06-30 | People apparently really like this series! Every time I am in a pub or something and people ask me a question about videos, it's always "When is your next 100k?".
Here's #4, sorry for the wait. It's a Phlog/RS one (On upward, as expected, meant to do 5gorge!), which means there's a lot of phlog in it. I also apparently don't have my sound working right, because I recorded two of these and both of the sounds suck in them!

Edited it. Maybe it'll be easier to watch. I'm not very vocal in it. My keyboard is, however.
The game Robot Roller Derby Disco Dodgeball is amazing. Flat out one of my favorites that I've played in recent time. This is my tribute to it.
I would play it competitively over TF2, no joke. It's super fun and super good. Overwatch isn't what's going to kill TF2, Robot Roller Derby Disco Dodgeball is.

This is not the clip I wanted to use. But I kinda had to. I really needed to. It was very long.
Ok so the song is by Kevin Macleod, who makes the most insane amount of Creative Commons songs that I have ever seen. It is called Modern Jazz Samba. All credits to the song go to him, etc.
Next one I'll try to have done before 3 days from now, because I'll be doing the tf2maps.net 72hr competition, and I do NOT want to waste time during it making a video. So I'll waste time before it making a video.
If you have any ideas for future things, or you want to see me try to tailor a specific loadout clip kinda thing into future ones of these, hit me up in the comment section below. I want to make more series of videos once I get more of a hang of doing this one.

These are really easy to edit, speaking that I can now crank them out with the Youtube Editor. I just record, render, upload, and then cut a day before I plan to release or something and BAM, CONSISTENT SCHEDULE TO THIS.
The Song is the "Area Liberated" theme from BROFORCE. Game looks fun as hell, but I've never played it. That guitar was perfect though, so I had to do it. Longer clips and chiller songs are in the future, I just thought that it was a pretty ridiculous flare. If that medic had been in the air it would have been way easier to land.
