I <3 CBing targets into sentry fire, by the way.

shiny vids. I think I can handle these far better than the soldier tutorials...

Great flanking spots/shortcuts in that first vid.

I didnt even know I could (nor did I ever think to) reflect sentry rockets and push soldiers/demos into their own projectiles from behind in that second vid.

All in all very helpful tips and a great way to show people that pyro can be feared given the correct practice.

What I love about pyro is you have so many different styles of play to use at your disposal and having to switch to different ones on the fly, depending on the scenario put in front of you, makes the pyro quite unpredictable. Plus I like causing chaos and confusion...

Wow, thats some high skill shit going down. I can air blast people but im not so sure about all that rocket deflection stunts they talked about.

**PizzaSHARK!** · 07-07-09, 08:30 AM

Yeah, reflecting sentry rockets is fun, just kinda dangerous.

And if you ever needed more evidence of why the backburner sucks, this is it.

**Cheshire Cat** · 07-08-09, 09:23 AM

Backburner isn't 100% terrible. However, it's really only more useful when you can catch them with their pants down on like... Dustbowl 3-2 going underground.

I do like my CB. It helps me with many things, including putting teammates out and helping me live.

wow, these are great. I actually have more respect for the pyro watching these, the skill ceiiling is very high on that class; contrary to popular belief. These pro pyros are a royal pain in the behind. Valve did a great job with this class adding the airblast.

I totally agree. I'm inspired. Inspired in the way that I was when I first saw Gideon totally derail 2 ubers by juggling a heavy ~50 ft in the air for all 8 seconds twice in the same round. Inspired enough to actually use my Axtinguisher for the first time last night and get a few kills. However, I'm still amateur because at one point I ended up compressing an intel-carrying demo further into his own base 3 times last night.

haha Very nice. Practice makes perfect.

Im working on flaming and then cbing a lot more when encountering a regular enemy. It throws off their aim just enough for me to finish them off with any three of my weapons.
