History Awesome / STAR

* In a meta-sense, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i8BGiyRuQM STAR_'s first video]]. It's titled "Being Careful", and has him playing as a Scout who mostly avoids combat, advises always carrying a BONK! just in case one gets attacked and needs to escape, and uses backcapping tactics. Compare it to later videos of him as Scout [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a2ZWZpN4LU like this]], where now he's the definition of LightningBruiser and has no fear.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTW7hcuJrQY Strange Market Gardener: Path to 100 Kills]]". Better yet, a commenter to the video adds "This was almost 2 Years ago, i've seen his profile before he set it to private, his Market Gardner now has 10k kills, 8000 of them are crits."

*** "[[FamousLastWords We should just rush him,]] [[TemptingFate he can't shoot us all, right?]]" - Sjin of Team Yogscast right before the above happened.

--> '''STAR_''': I am not exaggerating, at all, when I say that [[{{VideoGame/ScarletBlade}} Scarlet Blade]] is ''the'' worst game I have ever played. The worst game I am aware of in ''existence'', and I know some people are gonna bring up like the classic "oh [[{{VideoGame/Superman64}} Superman 64]] was such a terrible game." That's because mechanically, it was broken. The whole thing just didn't work. This game works, but the game working is a persistent world where you objectify women. I would rather be glitching all over the place and falling through floors if that meant I didn't have to witness any more of this game."
* The final battle of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFu-KDgFEOI STAR_ vs Yogscast, part 2]]", where STAR_'s entire team is dead, so it's just him against another Soldier with two Medics. [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome And "The Art of War" starts playing]]. [[spoiler:STAR_ loses.]]
** In the previous match, "[[https://youtu.be/1hBi2Ly4lQk?t=19m16s STAR vs Nilesy]]", At the last round, STAR_ is being followed by Ridgedog, who is a Medic. STAR_ is a sniper. Cue this conversation. (Also counts as a [[CrowningMomentofFunny Crowning Moment of Funny]])

*** The best part of the entire match was the ending of round 6. STAR_ is the last man standing as a [[GlassCannon Sniper]], with 3 people on the other team as a [[MightyGlacier Heavy]], a [[TrapMaster Demoman]], and a [[TheMedic Me]][[CaptainObvious dic]]. At 100 HP, STAR_ wisely decides to stay out of action and tries to lure the enemies out of the warehouse they're holding up in. The Demoman comes out of nowhere, and brings out his Frying Pan, while STAR_, in turn, brings out his Ham Shank, and the two wage in a melee battle. The Demo brings STAR_ down to 35 HP, while the Medic joins the Demo and starts healing him. STAR_ lands a couple of lucky hits and brings down the Demo, so the Medic decides to retreat. STAR_, however, brings out his rifle and [[OneHitKill quick scopes]] the Medic, while taking a couple hits from the Heavy on the balcony of the warehouse. STAR_ tries to snipe the Heavy, but he retreats to the warehouse before STAR_ can take the shot. STAR_ then scopes his rifle, charging the shot, and then headshots the Heavy who he correctly predicted would be coming down the ramp of the warehouse. All while his teammates are cheering him on.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THKIthXdnkk Pharah Wants to Push It]]": After his team screws up the last push and leaves the game in Overtime for a whole minute with the payload only a fraction away from victory, STAR_ manages to build up an ultimate and blast every enemy player off the payload so he can push it the very last inch.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYBz59_BqgM Zenyatta Eats Tanks]]": With the help of a shield from Symmetra, STAR_ turns an ordinarily weak healer character into a lethal damage sponge who headshots tanks characters to death and can take massive amounts of firepower. It gets to the point that it takes ''two ultimates'' from a [[SuperPersistentPredator ridiculously persistent Winston]] to bring him down, first being the Winston Primal Raging solely to target STAR_, getting killed, and then revived by Mercy to finish STAR_ off.

* During his February 15 ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' stream, he runs into a King of the Hill game where the enemy team is largely comprised of tanks, and switches to Reaper in response to what is, in his eyes, a futile attempt to win due to his own team's refusal to swap to heroes that can beat the tanks. Over the course of a grueling 3 rounds, STAR_ winds up carrying the team to victory, launching team-wiping Death Blossoms left and right, and ends the game with [[OneManArmy over 50 eliminations and an astronomical 25000 damage dealt]].

** Special mention must also be given to the [[OnlySaneMan enemy Huntsman Sniper]] who ''very'' nearly cuts their Uberchain short by stunning Tagg with the Huntsman's taunt.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfodFVFmIhw "21 vs. 2"]]. STAR_ and Jerma arm themselves with outrageously overpowered weapons and Scream Fortress spells, and attempt to prevent 21 other players from winning on offense on pl_upward. The premise by itself is awesome, and it creates one of the most insane sessions of Team Fortress 2 ever recorded. The best part is that [[spoiler: it's a CurbStompBattle ''in the 21's favor'']]. Even when the teams switch and Jerma and STAR_ are on offense, TheStinger clearly shows that [[spoiler: the 21 other players are winning until STAR_ goes rage mode and turns himself into a PhysicalGod with the Valve Rocket Launcher]]. Even then a Spy ''still'' nails him.

** What makes the Mixup even more of an crowning moment of awesome for STAR_ is that 3 members of his team had NEVER played TF2 before.

** The final round of that match is also awesome, as [[spoiler:they manage to overpower Team Cpt.Sparklez entirely, without a single teammate dead.]]

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKUh2NHJzZg Full Speed Distraction]]", where STAR_, using the pre-buff Baby Face's Blaster, gets ''15 kills'' on Defense and ''12 kills and two Dominations'' on offense, both in one life without counting assists. [[spoiler: And then a Mini-Sentry killed him...]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNqq1R-PsS4 TF2: Taunt Kill Bullies]]", where STAR_ and Tagg go on an epic Uberchaining spree against TooDumbToLive Heavies. They end up gaining '''44 kills and 12 Dominations''', stomping the entire enemy team for six minutes all by themselves.

* On March 17 2014, STAR_ posted a video showing that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT6iyZ16wkk Demoknight turning is based on framerate]], making it massively overpowered to those with good computers. Valve must have seen the video because on April 1st 2014, [[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=12815 the bug was fixed]].

** What makes the Mixup even more of an crowning moment of awesome for STAR_ is that his team consisted of him and 5 other people who had NEVER played TF2 before!

** Later on he and Jerma, now as a RED KGB Heavy and RED Uber Medic respectively, get to the enemy teleporters and use the constantly warping in [=BLUs=] to receive infinite fist crits. They take out ''eight [=BLUs=]'' right out of the teles via KGB crits and could have gotten more if it weren't for [[WeaksauceWeakness the Mini-Sentry nearby]].
