"Oh idea how about when to use each classes melee weapon because they have a higher frog chance than projectile weapons"
- bhowar361 in the comments for "Team Service Announcement: Metal and Dispensers"

I'm pretty sure by "frog chance," he meant "frag-chance," and by "frag-chance," he meant "crit-chance."
Either way, most melee weapons in Team Fortress are actually pretty good ways of taking out opponents at close range.

Unlike other weapons, most melee weapons always do a reliable 65, damage per hit, and is safer than explosive weapons at close range, or trying to quick-scope or no-scope opponents that you can't escape from as a Sniper. And while you really shouldn't be relying on critical damage, melee weapons do have a very high crit-chance, and can one-shot most classes with 195 damage swings.

The Scout's melee weapons only deal a measly 35 damage, but swing much faster than most other melee weapons, giving you more chances at crits (105 damage), so try to attack when your enemies are at low health, or don't know you're coming.

The Spy's knives only do 40 damage with each swing, have a normal attack speed, and can't get random critical hits, making anything but a backstab completely ineffective. The slow process of stabbing enemies to death is appropriately referred to as "butterknifing" and should be avoided.

Bonus Tip: When I take out my melee weapon and come at you in a one-on-one fight, I expect you to have the goddamn courtesy to return the favor. When I want a gentleman's quarrel, you better pony up and give me one, you hobo.
And none of you other bastards better come in ruin it with your guns. I'll come down there and make boots out of your asses when I'm done clubbing a man to death with a golden eagle on a stick.

There are two Team Service Announcements this week: "Bodyblocking," and "Melee." This TSA was made because someone made an honest spelling mistake, I'm a jerk, and I like making weird, barely artistic SFM movies. However, my subscribers apparently don't like my weird, non-sequitur movies as much as they do Team Service Announcements. So in an effort to make everyone happy, I made one short, sweet, and serious(?)TSA, as well as this one.

Next week, we'll have our regular single, 50-60 second-long Team Service Announcement with the regular amount of nonsense. Thank you for understanding.

"Team Service Announcement" is a series where the common mistakes and unused strategies of new and inexperienced players are blown out of proportion and explained in an attempt to help those who make them, as well as make my life less horrible.

If you know someone who's new to the game, is in need of some pointers, or just want to spread the message, share the videos and help improve the community.

If you're a frustrated player who would like something addressed, or a new player who would like something explained, leave it in the comments section, and maybe I'll animate it.
