The length of the tube containing the team-coloured 'Uber' liquid matches the ubercharge state of the Medic. This is noticeable on the player's view. Shouldn't this be in the trivia section rather than the main body of text?--[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 15:46, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

The pictures of the 2 ubersaws on the right look all squished for me (1900x1080) so we should probably get new pictures that don't get horribly proportioned. [[User:Bujeebus|Massive Mountain of Hat]] 02:18, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

{{Quotation|'''Robin Walker''' on titles/weapon names|Looking at the in-game localization text, I can see we’re already inconsistent ourselves, so I don’t think it’s a big issue. I’d pick whichever one you want to go with, and call it that. If you get nitpickers complaining about it, add a note to the pages saying that the game itself is inconsistent.}}

'''Ubersaw vs Übersaw'''

In-game, and in the [http://steamgames.com/tf2/goldrush/ Medic Update], this weapon is referred to as the Ubersaw. Note the lack of dots above the U. Should this page be moved to [[Ubersaw]]?

:{{c|neutral}}: The correct spelling of Über, as in Over in German has the umlaut. If we're going to move this, then [[ÜberCharge]] should move too.

:{{c|Oppose}}: Umblaut U is pronounced Oo. Oobersaw is much more consistant with the terminalogy of Oobercharges. Besides, Youbersaw just sounds silly. [[User:Noizeblaze|Noizeblaze]] 17:31, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
:{{c|Support}}: Heck, there are places where both the Ubersaw and the ÜberCharge are present in the same sentence with the said spelling. Also, what the hell Noizeblaze? I don't know if it's just because I'm French, but I pronounce any words beginning with U as if they had the umlaut to begin with. -- [[User:Vi3trice|<font color=#771d6d>'''Vi3trice'''</font>]] {{adm}} <sub>([[User_talk:Vi3trice|talk]])</sub> 22:55, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
::{{c|Comment}}: People who don't speak german as a motherlanguage seem to have a problem hearing the difference between u and ü (though it is VERY differnt for natives).

:{{c|Comment}}: I might just ask Robin if he could add the umlaut because it clearly should have one as it's Über as in Over and they use ÜberCharge. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] {{bur}} <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 23:49, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

::{{c|Comment}}: Noiseblaze isn't correct, "ü" in German means it DOESN'T have the "oo" sound, whereas just "u" does. If you're saying "Oobercharge", it should be "Ubercharge", while "Übercharge" is, well, "übercharge". It is difficult to tell the difference for non-native speakers, though. --[[User:Tinker|Tinker]] 12:13, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

== Spinal Tap now gives 100% uber charge on kill ==

25% from first stab
75% from killing blow (possibly 25% from killing hit and 50% on the kill)

I'll edit the Spinal Tap and Ubersaw pages now. (I can provide proof to people who need it. I've recorded a demo)
-[[User:KajiVena|KajiVena of TheVille]] 22:33, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

The taunt-kill boost came before today's patch. I shall be removing that patch note from the page until we can determine when exactly the Ubersaw updated. -[[User:KajiVena|KajiVena of TheVille]] 02:09, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

==Ubersaw image==
On the original page there are two weird images on which ubersaw has obvious problems with width, although I press on them and see normal image with better quality. Is this my browser problems or everyone can see that? [[User:Restline|Restline]] 02:21, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 
:I can see that the images are, well, fucked up too. They're too squashed. [[User:Davo|Davo]] 09:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

==New Medic Update?==
When I suggested redoing the Ubersaw demonstration video just yesterday, Wind said that we should wait until the Medic update comes out. Anybody know of this Medic update? -[[User:SpaceAnimator|SpaceAnimator]] 08:53, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
:There's been a lot of new Medic items being shown by Valve, and it's assumed there's a big update coming very soon. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 14:13, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

== Weapons Demonstration ==

I assume the reason for the ubersaw being under the "needs to be redone" section of the Weapons Demonstration Project is that the current video does not show the 20% slower firing speed (compared to the bonesaw).  As soon as someone uploads a weapons demonstration that includes this as well, or if the original video is re-edited to include this, the Ubersaw should be done.

== 3D images ==

Like I just mentioned for the Flamethrower, this weapon's 3D images have been broken since the article was moved back to Ubersaw. [[User:Dragonsbrethren|Dragonsbrethren]] 09:46, 29 June 2012 (PDT)

== Tough Break Update ==

Did you guys know that as well as tough break making the Amputator taunt on alternate fire, they did the same for the Ubersaw? I just put the description in the weapon mechanic description section and in updates. Please fell free to add extra links, default buttons etc. to my edit.
