Go To

1* The ending of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXCF_IsirEA Broken Parts MvM]]", where STAR_ sticky jumps across half the map to kill the one Scoutbot that escaped with the bomb all the way at the end of the map.
2* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpwBG2Dtpmk Basically-Scarlet Blade]] is one of his most popular videos simply because of the '''unholy smackdown''' he gives the game for its [[UnfortunateImplications blatant sexism and objectification of women]], without ever coming across as boring or pretentious.
3--> '''STAR_''': I am not exaggerating, at all, when I say that VideoGame/ScarletBlade 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 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."
4* 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. [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic And "The Art of War" starts playing]]. [[spoiler:STAR_ loses.]]
5** 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 [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]])
6--> '''Ridgedog''': Wait, why am I following you if you're a Sniper?
7--> '''STAR_''': 'Cause I'm still gonna win. *Quickscopes an enemy Sniper*
8--> '''Ridgedog''': Oh Jesus Christ, that was incredible.
9--> *STAR_ headshots a far-away enemy Medic*
10--> '''Ridgedog''': *while on the verge of laughing* Oh my God, this is awesome! He's a ringer!
11--> *STAR_ proceeds to beat down an enemy Demo with a ham*
12** The seventh match of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc9_2LJtKnI STAR_ vs Cpt.Sparklez]], where STAR_ is a Demoman corralled in a small room with only 2 health left... and manages to kill ''three enemy players'' one at a time by luring them up to the room and blasting them with stickies.
13-->'''STAR_''': This is ''my room''. I wanna put what posters ''I want'' here!
14** [[https://youtu.be/sc9_2LJtKnI?t=18m35s The final round of that match is also awesome]], as [[spoiler:they manage to overpower Team Cpt.Sparklez entirely, without a single teammate dead.]]
15*** To Clarify: At this point, the score is 6:6, meaning the winner of the next match goes to the finals. The team formation is thus: STAR_ as a Direct Hit Soldier, Trottimus as Heavy, and the rest as medics. STAR_, realizing how much the enemy Kritzkreig's faster charge time contributed to his teams losses time and again, decides to spend some time in spawn to build up his medic's ubercharge at an accelerated pace by damaging himself with his rockets. Eventually, they move out to circle around the cliffs. After a brief skirmish with an enemy soldier, in which no one died, Team STAR_ retreats to advance on the capture point from the far side. Which turns out to be a really good idea, since just as they finished retreating, one of the enemy heavies (Jerma?) drops in directly behind them, not noticing them since he was turned in the other direction. This allows Team STAR_ to finish building their Uber. They advance onto the point, STAR_ and his medic Ridgedog going one way, and the other three going the other direction. The Uber is popped on STAR_ while the opposing team tries to retaliate with their Kritzkreig, but fail to do anything significant with it. They quickly lose their pyro to the Direct Hit, while the soldier falls to some well placed shotgun blasts. Meanwhile, Trott and his two medics are walking up from the other direction, pushing their enemy towards STAR_ through the hallways. The result is the remaining members of Team Captain Sparkles being caught in a pincer maneuver, trapped between Trott and STAR_ in one of the narrow hallways, where they are promptly obliterated.
16** The final match of the Mixup, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaEHnfDcwE8 STAR_ vs Yogscast]]," which is a rematch between the only team that beat Team STAR_, with Robin Walker, a designer of [=TF2=], heading said team. [[spoiler: Team STAR_ wins 7 to 2, and the only reason they lost those two rounds was because Walker broke out the hax.]]
17*** 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]] (Honeydew), a [[TrapMaster Demoman]] (Robin), and a [[TheMedic Medic]] (Sjin). 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.
18*** "We should just rush him, [[TemptingFate he can't shoot us all, right?]]" - Sjin of Team Yogscast right before the above happened.
19** 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.
20* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKUh2NHJzZg Full Speed Distraction]]", where STAR_, using the pre-buff Baby Face's Blaster, gets ''20 kills'' on Defense and ''17 kills and two Dominations'' on offense, both in one life. [[spoiler: And then a Mini-Sentry killed him...]] It's even the first result on Website/YouTube if one searches "tf2 scout".
21* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znsnm7aXXJ0 I Main Demoknight 6v6]]. True, he's shown quite a bit of competence with demoknights before, but it never ceases to be impressive how he can enter this kind of competitive environment with a borderline JokeCharacter and turn him into a [[ShootTheMedicFirst reliable medic-killer]] who can't be stopped before the damage is done.
22* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcm74Ue3c0U TF2: Sock'em Bopper Hevies]]: With only forty seconds left to cap the first point, STAR_ and Jerma rush the RED team from behind as BLU KGB Heavies... and together punch out ''the entire enemy team'' in a couple of seconds. Even they were surprised that succeeded.
23-->'''STAR_:''' That had ''no'' business working.
24-->'''Jerma:''' ''How'' did we single-handedly do that?
25** 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]].
26* 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]].
27* "[[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.
28** Special mention must also be given to the enemy Huntsman Sniper who ''very'' nearly cuts their Uberchain short by stunning Tagg with the Huntsman's taunt. Said Sniper is later [[OnlySaneMan the only member of their team with the sanity]] to go Pyro and airblast their streak to its end.
29* [[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.
30* 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]].
31* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THKIthXdnkk Pharah Wants to Push It]]": After his team screws up the last push and leaves the payload only a fraction away from victory for six minutes, STAR_ manages to build up an ultimate and blast every enemy player off the cart so he can push it the very last inch.
