Description Edit (02/25/11): First bubble is supposed to be "Pyros" not "Pyro's". OTL
Edit (06/17/11): Spelling error: "Separate" not "seperate." D :

I worked on this before my Vocaloid one, and I will be selling this as a print at the con too. 8 D Just a thank-you to my watchers; thanks for suffering through all my animu. OTL

I wish I could make a Pyro LP, but you get a comic instead. This was inspired by the fact that this indeed happened to me when I was playing Pyro. No matter how good you are at a class, some people are still jerks. (fyi, I still love playing Spy, but I'm a better Pyro)

That is one adorable comic. Too bad I can't really aim and as such get blasted before I can reflect rockets X3
I think I need a flamethrower with reduced CB cost and larger CB radius (with some drawbacks, of course). What do you think?

Your best option so far is the stock flamethrower.

Oh hey, a reply to a comment I made a long time ago! Haha, I no longer play TF2, - it's been about four years -  but I suppose I'll keep that in mind ~!

Steam keeps changing it. It can't be helped. Nothing's ever going to be like how it was in the good ol' days.

I hate how guys that always get killed by pyros get mad and say " God dammit, Pyro is OP. no wonder he keeps killing me."
Especially when i kill them with CB.

Tugger-Mistoffelees [2012-07-30 19:34:42 +0000 UTC]

Great drawing style and very informative! From what little time I play TF2 (I believe lagging is from hell), I love playing as Pyro but I've never used CB to its full potential before. I didn't know you could use CB to separate the patient and the Medic. Interesting...

Hehe, there`s a lot to learn when you start playing TF2. I`m glad you found the comic at least somewhat helpful. XD

For the technique shown in the second panel, how do you prevent the doctor firing at your back or/and the heavy firing at your side/front?

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

syntic In reply to LunaticFlowerxX [2012-07-03 09:38:16 +0000 UTC]

The Medic won't be attacking you when he/she has the ubergun out (else the uber will drop and both the Med and whoever they ubered be vulnerable). As for the Heavy/ubered opponent, you'll just have to tank it if he/she spots you. Generally, the ideal spot would be to somehow make your way in-between the two ubered players, this is pretty safe considering the fact that the uber will be used for three reasons:

1. if there are a whole bunch of people at the choke (the corner where it's difficult to push past)
2. for a sentry
3. if the Medic is lit (low on health (always better to pop than drop it))

The person ubered will try to kill as many people as they can or aim for the objective (the sentry), so they usually don't notice that you've sneaked between and air-blasted their Medic away (your team provides a great distraction). However, if you have a Medic healing you and the ubered opponent has noticed you, your top priority should be to airblast both ubered opponents away from your teammates/sentry (the sentry should not go down, it's really important, even if you have to sacrifice yourself).

drake54 [2012-06-27 21:04:27 +0000 UTC]

also another hjandy tip as Pyro, use the Flare gun to light Snipers on fire, they will live but it will make them virtually useless on the battlefield because accurate shooting whilst on fire is near impossible

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

syntic In reply to drake54 [2012-07-03 09:42:52 +0000 UTC]

Depends on the Snipers you're playing against, but it's somewhat true. As long as you have someone shooting at the Sniper and putting damage on him/her, you will generally be okay.

drake54 In reply to syntic [2012-07-04 10:22:04 +0000 UTC]

hey I also noticed you talked about competitive TF2, uuhm can I join? I've been meaning to hone my skills as Sniper, I really really want to get good at it, but it's hard to tell if I'm good or not, I pretty much have the most play time as Sniper by miles opposed to every other class but it says my points as the class is 20 points so I need like a proof of skill a place where I can be around people who can judge my sniping skills fairly and help me become better
