On some maps you can play quite defensively as a pyro and just rely on killing scouts and spies that are trying to get to your base. I would have to check but I think my maximum points total was 20 so I'm not sure what my maximum number of kills is.

25 kills is impressive. My highest as a Pyro is 14.

I think mine is 39 with Pyro. 
As a Heavy, its 185 kills in one life. It was an epic Tfort run, and I had like 5 medics running to uber me at enemy spawn.

Damn. 
My most kills with heavy is like 50 and that was when me and my friends were doing achievements.

First point on pl_badwater, I kept jumping down from up the top, and run up behind the 3 or 4 on the cart in the tunnel, burn them, rinse and repeat. It's why I love the backburner.

I prefer the normal one, because blowing back critical rockets and explosives are so much fun. Its also good for 'mine-sweeping'. (Sticky clearing)

For my play style, the power of the back burner is unmatched by the ability to repel projectiles.

Well, I prefer massed Soviet-style pyro charges.

I just like the way it looks a lot better.

I prefer being able to kill my enemies.

I general prefer the normal one as I enjoy blowing enemies off ledges, out of the way (I've broken ubers by blasting the medic back as i chase him), and I really like that it can go crit at any time, not just the back.

Those are fun, until they run into a few comrade Heavies.
Or, heaven forbid, Demomen.

FYI, I chase trains.
pyro tip: in event of demoman press this key called "backwards" 
no, really, whip out shotgun start backward strafing and draw demo's to the open or just search another target.

The point of being a pyro is to ambush, not run headlong into masses of enemies.

While the pyro is an ambush class, she is more than capable of a head on charge. Although tihs is not the way to rack up kills, especially on payload maps and control points or choke points too it can force the enemy back, when enemies are on fire they usually tend to fall back unless they have adequate medical supplys. The best head on charge though is not from the front (where everyone is pointing their guns) but from the side (well, okay, the back is the best but not always possible), however I recommend this is used when you need to save your team a few seconds and there isn't a better option.
The backwards key is for surrender monkeys.pyro tip: in event of demoman press this key called "backwards"

Flank 'em!
My best moments as pyro are when I flank the front row of defenders, usually behind their back and set the whole row on fire, then sneak to a sidewall and repeat on the second row of defenders, then try to score as many kills as possible. Gets tons of assists if nothing else.Pyros in a long, tight hallway charging is a very bad idea.
