Probably the best spy that's been uploaded on youtube.

whoa nice
I hate to be in disagreement with you guys but I would like to point out a couple of things:
#1 - He is playing on a server with very few people if you notice.
#2 - He is always behind them and there is no one behind him because of (my #1) there not being very many people.
#3 - I am not the best of spies, but I am sure I could do a lot of what he does on a low filled server.
#4 - The opposite team seems oblivious to anything going on around them and they don't follow up on cloaking spies like people do in our servers.
#5 - Backstabbing heavies and medics that are moving a cart... not that hard.
#6 - Back-stabbing snipers is not that hard with no sentries or people protecting them.
#7 - Where are the sentries? Only saw a couple...
I will say a few runs he did were impressive, im just playing devils advocate. Jehuty is a way better spy if he can do some of the same stuff in a 32 man server. Jehuty gets owned by me though and always has to switch to sniper.

Well, in some cases, this video showing tons of it, spies tend to end in luckier situations than others. I'm not knocking some of you spies (I play spy too), but a lot of those kills were due to luck on his part and stupidity of theirs. Granted, still a good find, and I was still impressed, but I find this just to be a lucky spy stabbing streak compilation more than anything.
Honestly, I only could stand watching the first 2 minutes of it. Not impressed. :-/ Sorry guys, but 1- maybe 3 backstabs in 1 life isn't that epic or anything. It's just alot of onesy twosy stabs where any halfway decent spy should get them.
Could you link a video of a spy that's better? That's some of the craziest stuff I've ever seen done as a spy, and if he is only half way decent... well I don't even know what to think!
A large majority of his kills were because they were incredibly stupid. Half the people he stabbed looked afk, just standing in one spot. That entire team had no situational awareness at all, and only the scout and medic actually did anything about him.
Its hardly "skill" when you go up against a bunch of mediocre players in the first place.
I think I'll have to second that motion then. If anyone has a vid of a better spy by all means post it. If this guy isn't that good I want to see a good one. I don't know any better because I rarely if ever play spy mainly because it's a difficult class to start to play when people like Dallas is always on the other team.
i agree here, i would like to see him on a server that doesnt have everyone bunched up 90% of the time
I have seen jehuty do some way more impressive things than that
except when i dominate him with a shovel
Meh
I'm just never impressed with spies. This has very little to do with the people playing the class...
I consider the spy class to be broken. Spies are usually only capable of great feats on small servers or servers filled will terrible teammates. You'll never see me more frustrated on 2Fort than when some spy owns like 6 people on the battlements while 2 or 3 people stand around trying to melee the spy.
I'm looking forward to the spy update so we can see some great spy work in action. There are a lot of great spy players out there, but they're working with an unimpressive set of tools.

He's a much better spy then me, but the other team he was pretty oblivious. One of the best ways to spot disguised spys is look for players coming from parts of the map those classes don't go to in the first place. <internal monolog>hmm that sniper just came from a place with no sniping spots...maybe he's a spy

You are exactly right my friend. Simple backstabs. No sentries either as you pointed out, which makes the spy's job a lot easier.
