My best guess for the censoring of the gambling in the opening cutscene is that they wanted to keep the age rating down in European countries. Sly 2: Band of Thieves was classified PEGI 3 in its original release, but several years back (like 2011/2012) PEGI changed a few things, and now any mentioning of gambling immediately ranks up the game's rating to a PEGI 12, the same reason as to why recent Pokémon games had to remove the Game Corner.
Yeah, difference is basically 20 minutes, but used to be much greater. 100% adds a nice amount of diversity and brings a new set of challenges but the difference between 100% and any% isn't _that_ great. 30 bottles times 8 episodes and 8 vaults. Plus we can use some of the gadgets from the vaults to speed up or make the run easier as well.
27:14 As a native English speaker, I got that one wrong in the same way until age fifteen. It just didn't come up often enough for me outside of books.
Currently 1:01:00 into the run. Not looking good for him. 1:30:00 - I’m struggling with trying to figure out how he comes back from these bad times. 2:00:00 - When he bounces back out of the red, I’ll be so happy. 2:30:00 - To think that one enemy could fuck up a whole run... 3:00:00 - He’s coming back now! I’m so excited to see green again. 3:53:15 - A bookmark of sorts for myself.
So Gnisty, you said Episode 6 doesn't have a boss cause its the same enemy as Ep 7 (Jean Bison) right? But wouldn't Neyla technically be the boss for Ep 6 too? Not the big boss but a boss?
I doubt you’ll see this but amazing job! I’ve wanted to do this for ages have any tips on optimizing my gameplay? From what I saw it’s less glitches more best paths, and best possible moves.
This is an old run with outdated routes and strategies. Still a great starting point but it could be worth checking out more recent runs. speedrun.com/sly2 are the leaderboards and you can also find links to guides, resources and our discord server there! I’m currently on a bit of a break so I’m not super into the scene atm but I’ll return before long and focus on sly 2 again, first time in a few years
Completing Cairo the intended way counts towards the percentage counter. Let's just say I found that out the hard way.. (ua-cam.com/video/0NVskHeyPaI/v-deo.html)
Not really. Generally more risky gameplay. There's a bunch of small stuff ofc. Example: In ep 1 I go for the cs skip in disco demolition, saving 2s which I also plan to implement into full-game any%. I do chair strats for Bug Dimitri which is 0.5s faster than the strats I usually do. I might go for 4-tick on Dimitri, damaging him 4 times in one hit, but loses time if you miss it. And ofc I don't waste any time getting coins.
Som regel kan man bare spamme X når man starter en episode for å velge Sly, men ikke i episode 5 (eller 4 for den saks skyld). Jeg glemmer det alltid i episode 5, og dersom man spammer X i ep 5 bruker man pengene på shit power ups (trigger bomb etc.) og spillet autosaver rett etterpå, så man kaster bort alle pengene. Har skjedd 2-3 ganger så jeg satt det i split tittelen. :3
Money is tight. Also Boardroom Brawl is time based up until the end. Every 'hack' takes 20s. After Bentley says "This is tense, I can taste it!" after the last hack, you simply have to clear the area to end the job.

Bentley how am I supposed to destroy this cage? Bentley: "B E A R"
30:18 "This is what I call world record holder movement" Well.. he wasn't lying.

Interesting, that definitely makes sense
I'm shocked the times for any% and 100% are not too far apart.

Side note: I was watching this run with someone and they sent me porn of sly as a girl. Worst part of my day.
Congrats on wr Gnist!
I hadn't even finished watching the you previous wr and now you improve it again 😧😊, but anyway grats for the wr 💪💪
Hehe :3
4:09:57 hi mom
That ending is always so sad ;_;
;_;
It took me 14 hours to beat this game! Sad that sly 3 is so short
Feel when Sly 3 is the longest speedrun by over an hour :3
Man this game was my entire childhood
So Gnisty, you said Episode 6 doesn't have a boss cause its the same enemy as Ep 7 (Jean Bison) right? But wouldn't Neyla technically be the boss for Ep 6 too? Not the big boss but a boss?
Yeah you’re right
You did it.. again.
:3
Who is your favorite boss
Huge fan of Dimitri
Gnist same
When I was a kid I always thought clockwork's mouth was a big ass mustache
WTF in episode 2 start, you can start the cutscene at the beggining in the right spikes? LOL i, as a kid, always did it on the left
Yeah sure. The trigger extends for most of the river actually.
have you ran the thievius racamaducus?
I've ran them all! ua-cam.com/video/b6C8MRyf2Rk/v-deo.html
It was great today, especially the ending. Was it sub 5.50 or not? Awesome Gnist!
Retimed to ~5:49:59.7 ;)
how long did you train for Sly 2
I've ran it on and off since like january 2015
Im baffled by the fact that you ran directly past a bottle within the first 3 minutes of chapter 6
:3
Helt sjukt! Gratulerer, mann! :D Noen planer for Sly3 og 4 etterhvert?
Planen for nå er sub 5:25 any% (Sly 2), deretter fokusere på enten Sly 3 eller Sly 4 for en stund ;)
Konge! Keep it up :) Gleder meg :D
Maybe I don't remember the game correctly, but I don't recall the voices for the characters fading in on the ps2
They do fade in on ps2 :p It was changed for the remasters and I prefer it fadeless personally
I doubt you’ll see this but amazing job! I’ve wanted to do this for ages have any tips on optimizing my gameplay? From what I saw it’s less glitches more best paths, and best possible moves.

@@gnisten6 thank you so much you guys are amazing in what you’ve done! See you on the leaderboard if I can reach it haha
It takes me like 6 hours to do the first 2 episodes 😂
Not if you practice first :3

Why dont you do the cairo skips? For coins?
Completing Cairo the intended way counts towards the percentage counter. Let's just say I found that out the hard way.. (ua-cam.com/video/0NVskHeyPaI/v-deo.html)
Are there any major speed running strats that differ between IL (any/100%) and full play through (any/100%)?
Not really. Generally more risky gameplay. There's a bunch of small stuff ofc.

Who here got terrified of the mission failed theme while playing at night?
From Finland btw first i thought that you were swedish
Samuli Heiskanen kyl sen aksentista kulee mun mielestä ainakin
Ka mener du med Right then x når du ska start ep5?
Som regel kan man bare spamme X når man starter en episode for å velge Sly, men ikke i episode 5 (eller 4 for den saks skyld).

Gnist å ja rip😂
Mener på jeg faktisk nevnte det og forklarte det et eller annet sted i runnen (mot slutten av episode 5..?)
Couldn't you save some time in Boardroom Brawl by buying Fists of Flame? It's an instakill.

Former WR??? Dont you mean English WR? Hehe :D

Gnist dont know What you talk about but wil you now do any or stil do 100?

Why u don't live on UA-cam ? With that you can leave the live on UA-cam so u dont need to upload the run again ;)
The speedrun community is almost exclusively on Twitch. Besides, I have more followers there than I have subs here.

Gnist, "triggered" is mental health terminology. Can you please not misuse it?
and the "did you just assume my gender" joke is both unfunny and harmful to trans people in the closet
