This one should be viewed at youtube for the HQ, bigscreen version. This is appe, imo one of the best soldiers in the world. He is largely responsible for my soldier skillz.

The frags are all in extremely high-skill environments: division 1 ETF2L, ETF2L national championships, etc. These are the serious of the serious games, and this guy holds his own. He opened my eyes to the world of aggressive AND defensive rocket jumping, and boy does it make a difference.

This video isnt' a typical "check out all my midair rocket attacks" video - this is the real deal. If you want to be a destructive force as a soldier, this is where to look to.

That's pretty sick, I hate how watching these videos make rocket jumping, airshots, etc. look easy. I try that and I end up rocket jumping into a pyro and then I kill myself. sadface His use of the shotgun is pretty great though, I probably don't do that enough as soldier (although my new experiences at pyro might make me more aware of my secondary weapon).

This reminds me of a really sick pyro video I saw a few months ago. Some dude who played competitively picked up pyro and got crazy good at it after only 30 hours or something ridiculous. Awesome footage of him reflected rocket jumping onto points, things of the sort. I should dig it up.
