Speed running documentaries be like “the Piglet’s Big Movie Game community was shaken by the implications of Eeyore Skip”
and we are glued to our seats
this is so actually fucking funny
You're not wrong.
And it's fucking awesome.
🤣🤣🤣
Amazing job explaining everything in this video. Super cool to see everyone getting hyped about Sly Cooper again!
too bad he didn't mention hiiri skip and spanish cutscene skip...
@@hiirikuy :(
moro hiiri
There is no again. Sly cooper is always hyped lol

I always have a phase like every year of getting nostalgic and watching Sly videos. Brings back so many childhood memories. This video was very interesting and I loved the music :)
PROBZZ yooo it’s probzzz
I'm getting a ps3 just for the holy trilogy ‼️

Crazy how many speed running communities have made insane breakthroughs in the last couple of years
It has become a serious job. Top runners pay people specifically to make TAS and find glitches
Even us in the roblox community have found amazing new techniques lately
replying to both of you:
people are paid? awesome
and other guy i learned two roblox glitches last week neat stuff lol
i don't speedrun but I love doing glitches
@@Soniclnstinct at some point today I'm making a guide on all the tricks we use in Adventure Forward 2 (which applies to other R6 games) if that interests you
Kaiwala I love that game!! I’ll make sure to check your video out
I've never played Sly Cooper in my life and this was interesting as hell. Really excited about the direction your TH-cam channel's taking, Ricky!
Glad to hear it was easy to understand despite never having played the game ☺️
Go play it. Treat yourself.
@@seiyuokamihimura5082 Even better play the full trilogy!

Human beings go to the moon: "That's neat". Human beings find the world 4 skip in sly cooper "This is an astonishing achievement".
well we didnt go to the moon so not that exciting >.

If you worked in NASA or were involved in astronomy - the moon landing made you positively shit yourself. The key is how invested you are.
because the dedication is amazing and its far more interesting
I was thinking about this game and decided to search "Sly Cooper" on youtube to see if anyone else has been thinking about this game and whaddya know this video was uploaded 5hrs ago! That's just a crazy coincidence to me. What a small world we live in.
same!
Trihex made a video about it not long ago too
You should check out all the speedrunners of the game on their twitch. The community is very active
@@ThaRixer will do! Great vid btw!.
Same since this entire week and still waiting for 5 since I still have hope
Good video :)
Thanks DarkViper! 🤠

I reeaally like these new videos. Im not as interested anymore to pour hours into watching runs, but learning about sr history is amazing. Good stuff man! I always knew you were a gem in this community!
Same dude real busy atm and can't watch speedruns like i used to. But these videos he's been making are amazing
i was literally never one for speed runs but i love hearing the history of it. Especially stories like Touval with spyro, its like "And then this random ass kid from boston accidentally threw his controller and skipped a new boss!" Just some out of nowhere player absolutely blows open every needed skip
Good stuff man, that was really solid. W3 Skip is definitely something we all want, probably now more than ever before. Taking into account that W5 is an autoscroller, W3 Skip would essentially mean we have a game skip/boss rush.
Praying for W3 skip, congrats on the find as well
@@ThaRixer we'd have more progress but thomas (sparkles) is a lazy-ass
w3 skip is imbossible

This game series was my whole childhood man. I remember staying up super late trying to get all the bottles and even replaying the games after I beat them. If there is one thing I could do in life it would be to play this series for the first time again. I'm getting emotional just thinking about this. Thank you for making this video truly ❤
Love the fact that my favorite game is still kicking and the speedrun community evolves, thanks Ricky
I've loved your content so far, as I love Summoning Salt's content, and I can't wait to see more of this type of videos!
Trevorsaurusrex here!! I don't really speedrun anymore...but still watch vids from time to time! Really awesome to see you guys still improving these runs after so many years!!
@ 4:30 you mentioned the super jump... As far as I know, my twin brother was actually the first one to discover the super jump glitch. (Some of the runs uploaded on our channel trevorsaurusrex were done by me and some of them done by him) Once we had it figured out, we uploaded the explanation video right away. We discovered most of the original super jump cuts on the individual levels but I'm pretty sure it was someone else who found the whole world skips. I honestly can't remember! but I think we had considered it may be possible to super jump in the cannon to skip to Raleigh and then someone else quickly figured it out before we could.
Now if you can manage to get cerpin or animeowzers to join the chat maybe we can figure out the rest of it!
Good to see you, if you ever wanna talk to anyone in the Sly Community we would love to get it touch with you if possible to discuss stuff in detail and connect the dots better. We have a pretty good idea with the help of forum posts but specific stuff can always get a bit confusing.
@@independent Sure thing! anytime y'all wanna talk let me know.
Trevor Primm If you are on discord that would be the easiest way.
A legend in the sly community has spoken
@@Slysonic haha
I actually remember finding a somewhat void drowning glitch in Sly on World 3, when entering the hub area there are these vines/branches that you jump on and break some spikes attached to them. The right most branch is the one that worked for me when you enter the hub, when you jump on the branch it lowers then rises after a bit. Once the branch reaches the highest point it can go with you on it, you have to double jump back and to the right while in the roll ability. If successful, Sly will launch way past the branch or even in the air. Most times, it launches me to an out of bounds area with some floating graves and some swamp water but I hope it helps out!
Cool! But of course the void glitch can be done in world 3, its just not that useful in this case. The video explains its because the trigger for the boss room isnt always active in that world like it is in the others, so even warping to its location wont do anything because the trigger isnt active unless u do the intended sequence :/ but maybe your glitch can be used for some other purpose?
I love hearing more about speed-running history, thank you for uploading these well edited and well informed videos!
Excellent content! Love stuff like this and you’ve done a great job making these videos. Keep it up man x
9:19 here's a great trick to skip the "introduction" instead.
""9 Minutes saved!"" just like in the thumbnail
@A guy made to trigger you It was for who already know everything about the history. As the video doesn't say "History of Sly Cooper Speedrunning" but it shows a new Speedrunning Glitch.
@A guy made to trigger you Username checks out.
A guy made to trigger you Must be trolling since that isn't in the title
@A guy made to trigger you the title is named "Massive Sly Cooper Glitch Discovered After 8 Years" where does it say that it is a speed run history video?
I'm glad people still appreciate this game, I grew up with this game series and my grandmas last give was thieves in time and a few weeks later she died. Whenever I think back of sitting in my room on a small screen 24/7 playing the game series I just have great memories of it. Thanks for the video it brought back a lot of memories !!
Really happy this got recommended to me! Super informative, great presentation and entertaining!
Can't wait for more stuff like this!
Great video, mostly accurate, I think I speak for the entire Sly Speedrun community that this video gave a clearer understanding to W4 Skip, and spreading awareness about our hunt for W3 skip. Good job ricky 👍
Great video, nice to see this amazing achievement discussed more!
Amazing video! Thank you so much for this bit of speed running history!
I love the Sly Cooper series, and seeing a speedrun get this optimized is really cool. I hope World 3 skip gets discovered, because that would complete the set and be very satisfying.
I love Sly Cooper so much. Thank you for making this to help expose him to others.
Another great video. Been really enjoying these, keep it up my man it's an absolute pleasure to watch
Thank you kind sir
A fantastic retrospective look on the history of speedrunning of one of my favorite PS2 games. Can't wait for more content like this from you, and here's hoping that Mz. Ruby skip is uncovered one of these days!
I go back to my ps2 time and time again to relive this trilogy
What a nice intro. Flows so well, with a good music and cuts to the chase, refreshing
Thanks for the positive feedback
An absolute treat to watch, love this stuff Ricky!
Listen, this came up on my recommended and I don't even watch stuff like this. Very happy with the quality of the content. Good shit.
Cheers mate
Glad this was recommended. I miss Sly Cooper a lot these days.
I've been watching these a lot at work on break, this is such a fascinating topic
this video was so entertaining, thank you for doing that and to have explained all to us
Many times i find myself coming back to rewatch ThaRixer videos again
I need more
These videos are great. Well done Ricky
I discovered this channel very recently and I gotta this video makes me interested in speedrunning Sly Cooper(specifically All Keys) because it looks cool and it's also one of my favorite games of all time.
Love your vids, keep it up man
I love these type of videos. Keep up the good work!
Yo what a great video! Really love it! :D after I saw this I checked out the jak videos aswell, super interesting and well made. More content like this please :)
Used to watch your Jak runs, forgot about your stuff for a while, recently got it recommended again (good old TH-cam algorithm didn't pop any of your videos up for a whole year or two even though I was subbed).
Loving this style of video, so informative and entertaining! Keep it up bud!
Always neat to hear about things! Thanks for uploading!
Awesome video and a huge skip! Long time watcher and yes please do more!
Always been a huge fan of your runs and you in general, and I am ABSURDLY hyped that you will be doing this type of content on your channel. Hope to still catch you running on twitch or here. Keep up the good work my man
I have now found myself browsing your videos that I have missed and not been able to get around to watching until now. I originally found your channel off of Sly 1 and then when I saw Jak runs on the channel as well, it really made me appreciate the art of speedrunning for these kind of platforming games. I know this is an old video, but keep up the awesome video content!
Holy shit Sly Cooper is a childhood favorite this video was dope af!
Panda King in Sly 3: You took everything from me
Speedrunner Sly: I don't even know who you are
(Yeah I know you still fight Panda King in this run, I came up with the joke when I heard the words "World 4 skip" and I really didn't want it to go to waste)
Can we just talk about how "void drowning" sounds like the scariest fucking thing in the world?
Me at 11pm:
ThaRixer: Good afternoon!
I actually love these videos! Keep it up Ricky ❤
Only heard the first second of this video and I'm already pogging, let's go Ricky!
Ty bescape ☺️
YOOO Big Fan
Before the video started I asked myself; "Is it the cannon glitch?"
After the video I said to myself; "It's the cannon glitch"
I just finished sly cooper 1 again and I instantly see this in my feed, what a coincidence lol
Keep up the good work Ricky! Loving these videos
Loving this type of content! Keep it up :)
Ah, the Sly Cooper end credits music....
It surprised me how (I believe) the composers for both Sucker Punch and Naughty Dog stuck with their low-fi keyboard/midi techniques for song production from PS1/N64 through at least their first games on PS2, and then some. (Not that I have any clue what I'm talking about.)
i just love a deep voice explaining to me in depth a intricate mechanic for speedrunning for game i've never played
I honestly much prefer your videos when you cover speed games no one really talks about like Jak and Sly, so keep em coming!
I love this history videos! It's really interesting ^^
This video is like a huge blast from the past for me... Loved this game
I probably already commented on this video but this video is so good. It deserves another comment. This is a great video! Keep up the amazing work or don't and take a break. You know you do you no matter what you do will cheer for you!
audio quality is great. nice vid rick.
Oh man nice video. Also sick skip, I've seen Mikkel attempt but didn't quite get what was going on until now.
Love it! As someone how loved Sly Cooper as a kid your video was really great for someone who never has seen a speedrun of it. Great explanation for someone who is familiar with speedrunning (OOT mainly) but not with this game :) thanks for putting in the effort
Great content recently keep it up Ricky!
I remember discovering the world 3 low gravity glitch as a kid. I didn't slip off the platform like neon did, but I would jump in the air and use the ball form to land on it. If I did it right sly would either bounce out the area or onto the invisible wall that neo landed on. I also remembered I jumped over the gate that you unlocked using three keys. I jumped over it to see if I could find the giant snake that was behind it. I didn't to say the least
Weird times when this video made me want to look up old speed runs I watched back in the day so I tried finding a old Jak 3 video I watched years ago by some random guy one night that I for some reason always thought about when replaying Jak 3 just for it to turn out to be by you😂😂
12:54 potentially my favorite video game track of all time
It's creepy
What's it called
TH-cam reccomend this out of the blue. I thought this banging game was a fever dream lmao
Another youtuber with a good voice that talks about speedruns. Subscribed.
Love these videos- keep up the good work!
This content is quality, really enjoy watching these. Do you think it would be worth going through already found glitches too, like you'd have Theory series and History series for glitches and stuff? :) I bet many people would be really interested in seeing big glitches and history behind them as well (likes of Jak 1 FCS/Boulder/LTS, GoW3 PS4 Judges skip). Maybe those are done already, but you'll get the picture. Keep going man and create a patreon! Maybe people can suggest stuff in there!
Yea I'll do some older stuff, some recent stuff. Just gotta mix it up
Good video. I havent ever even seen sly speedrun and you explained things well
Damn, I just found this video on the sly cooper subreddit (didn't know it was you) and decided go watch it later. Then I decided to watch some jak&daxter speedruns of yours and found the video on your channel. The world is so small.
Ah this is cool, as I recently have watched a few speed runs of this game and I remember hearing that if anyone could find a way to skip the keys then it would save a ton of time
Omg i love sly cooper so fking much , That game was literally my childhood
I’m not big into the speed running community but I still enjoy seeing people speed running some of my favorite games. Learning about how they operate under the hood and how people are able to exploit their flaws is oddly fascinating.
Just now going through my watch later videos, I know this is minor but I'm very glad you don't explain interesting, but irrelevant, story exposition for this. Many videos that dissect stuff will explain everything even if it isn't relevant, which is almost never what I want from them. This has exactly the right amount of information, explained well. Thank you for sharing and I hope you are doing well. :)
Man I love this speed run. It’s the best route in any game off all time. Massive skips and proxy’s that let u skip entire sections if u are precise enough and then world 3 right in the middle to make things interesting. Then to end it all off with Bentley skip. Who knows what else has been discovered at this point. I’m sure this video could be massively updated with how much this community pushes these games.
Top notch quality video. Thank you 😊
I was watching the stream when the skip was found, good times
TaymNeon and Zen are p chill, especially Zen he's a great dude
Watching this video makes me want to play this game again, I can't believe it's going on 20 years old, it was my childhood favorite.
And now I can beat that no coin run of sly cooper and not have to worry about the flaming temple of flame. Sweet
Dude your content is amazing,ty
Good video man! TH-cam needs more love for the Sly series ❤️
Every time this gets thrown at my recommended page I think world 3 skip has been found for a split second 😭
amazing content as always. keep it up
Similarly, just two days ago, a trick was found in The Spongebob Squarepants Movie that saves 18 minutes. 18 minute time save in a game that was already really optimized
Adamslow do you have a place where I can see this?

Adamslow thank you so much
A long time ago, there was actually a World 2 skip that a lot of people used, but it would only work on the PS2 release. It required Sly to use the proxy spot you mentioned, but instead of going to the very top of the roof, he would go onto a windowsill and climb along them before he made it to a spot just above the dome-shaped window at the casino entrance before dropping onto it and clipping in with the roll technique. I don’t remember who first used it, but I know it existed because it was documented somewhere. It is no longer reliable for obvious reasons.
great content Ricky!
these videos are great man
3 is such an appropriate world to have the last little secret
shoutout my boy lomaykay
My favorite game series. Never gets talked about for some reason
Neat skip with a good description!
Holy crap. I'm no speedrunner, but I have wanted to attempt world skip glitches for fun, never really have been able to do them, but seeing one for Panda King looks sick
Sly Cooper is definitely my favourite game to speed run. Pyschonaughts is also up there tho
