The Corner Stab

I don't know if anyone else does this, or thinks that this doesn't warrant its own name, but I do. A Corner Stab is when an enemy is chasing you around a corner, and you time it just right so that you go back around the corner wide and get a brief window for a backstab.

Here is a video:

Sorry I don't have other examples, but this is the only one I could find on short notice. I hope it's sufficient.
Oh, and by the way, that Scout in the video was Higgs Boson, and I've done it on other good players as well, so don't think it is something only a newbie would fall for.

Thoughts, questions or comments?

Did you just call Higgs Boson a newbie?

Good tactic.

Edit: Razor, no he didn't.  He says the scout was Higgs, and he has done it on OTHER good players too.  Other being good players such as higgs.

That scout has fat hands.

Interesting, but what keeps the scout from simply turning and shooting you?

I'm starting to think that being a Spy is less about espionage and more about knife tricks.

The word "other" would imply that he did the opposite.

Or the scout turning the corner wide as well.

That example was really quick. but I think I've seen this example from you where you hind behind a corner while being chased into another room or area, and it's for of an ambush than a dodge.
I tried it on Fastlane, at the right entrance to the last point and I got stuck behind the tires.

I actually learned this from playing the 360 version. It works really well since it's harder to quickly turn with the controller. I've tried it on the PC and it's a lot more difficult.

And I learned it from this guy.
