Accidental Big Brain Plays

What are some 9 million IQ plays that you made completely on accident that made you go "Lets pretend I meant to do that cause that was amazing"?

    Whatever the hell this was, let's just pretend that I knew where she was the entire time.

    Also this feature which should not have worked but it was definitely all part of our plan.

    Also this happened in solo which I'm pretty proud of thanks Leon (found the flashlight in a chest too).

    Please forgive the resolution on the last clip, I was testing it out to see if it actually did give me better framerate after 5.0.0.

    That spirit juice with the pallet looked sooooooooooo satisfying, same with the locker save, I always hesitate at those angles.

    Trust me it was, nothing makes me happier than ruining the day of a stridor spirit even if i did need cowshed to do it

    And don't ever ask me to replicate the locker save because I couldn't lol

    Pallet stunning a Spirit while she is phasing is the most satisfying accidental big brain play in existence. The few times I managed to do it were legendary to me.

    Last game I played, everyone else dead. I have NO IDEA where the hatch is. I go to shack. Trapper comes for me, I pallet stun him, but he gets the hit. I run forward -- There's the hatch straight ahead of me. I dead hard into it, and escape. I only wish i had planned it cause that was pretty awesome.

    Just today I was playing clown and I had briefly switched to the yellow bottles but as I was chasing a survivor I threw a bottle then realized I hadn't switched back so I just gave her a speed boost but I got in the cloud last second and hit her last second.

    I hardly remember this one. But back in the day before the egc I was the last survivor alive left against devour hag. She placed tons of traps near the hatch. There was a pallet there too.

    I don't know how I managed to pull this off but I started running and triggering every trap possible just for her to teleport near the pallet one and I stunned her and escaped through the hatch.

    It was intense as f and I was so lucky.

    I've managed to loop Killers until they gave up and went after someone else. I don't know how I did it because I'm really not good at looping. I could only imagine them saying "Wow she knows how to loop!" when I was actually just running around frantically xD;

    I also had a match where the Dwight on my team was about to be hooked for the last time and I was able to destroy the hook just in time and he was able to wiggle free. The Killer ended up having NOED and was camping someone on the hook and someone who was slugged. I had BT so I felt I could probably unhook the person but die in their place. I ended up saving the person on the hook while the Dwight helped the one on the ground and they escaped while I died on the hook. If the Killer hadn't missed his attack, it would have ended with probably three of us dying. So it was just dumb luck.

    I once got matched against Tru3 and I didn't realize what happened until I rewatched the game from his perspective. I was a Doctor and we had a pretty good chase going on the Dead Dawg Saloon, he drops a pallet and suddenly slows down, only to sneakily vault a window, at which point I catch up. Turns out, my Illusion spawned PRECISELY behind the pallet, which made it look as though I'm trying to mind game whether I'll break it or something, which utterly confused him, only to result in a tiny jumpscare as I downed him with a lunge out of nowhere. Never seen anything like it.

    There was a time when I was playing Blight using Thrilling Tremors and after hooking a survivor I rushed to one of the unblocked gens. On the way, I rushed into an injured survivor who I downed because they scared the [bad word] out of me and I accidentally hit M1. I just looked down at that Zarina like "you wouldn't believe how this happened cuz neither would I"

    I once accidentaly ran into a rushing Blight, denying him a slam which gave me a free escape. Because he gets pushed to the side he missed a slam point and ran towards the center of the map.

    Since that I try to do that more often and it really helps sometimes.

    Once I did a cj tech with a fire cracker while I was panicking, I pretended that I knew what I was doing.
