I love Sly 2 my favourite PS2 game
So will you cover the rest of the episodes?
Secure ThaBag king
I like how you mentioned how to get into speedrunning at the end of this video, i wish you continue doing this on future videos
Can you post a list of the songs you used in the description?
You can't fool me, you did this whole video just to play a speedrunner montage alongside Demitri's bop.
Absolutely worth every second.
Lmao you're somewhat right. I did have it in my mind from the start
@@ThaRixer to be fair, it was Greasy Sweet
Was just about to comment something like this. Shit is a bop
IM TWERKING RN
Nobody resisted the urge to dance during that absolute banger.
I've finally had the chance to sit down and properly watch this masterpiece in its entirety. Thank you SO much for making this, it's so crazy seeing Sly 2 speedrunning in the spotlight in what basically became a feature length movie! Even I learned something; the earliest history (~pre Coooper/Cuber) of the episode was all unknown to me. Thank you for reaching out, I'm very thankful to be part of this!
I gotta say yes, I agree - this is your best work Ricky. Such an amazing video! So many great parts in this, I had forgotten all about my first time with The Chair 🙂 Gonna be watching this one many times over, in the coming months
Thanks for the amazing words Gnist ❤

This is a movie
Absolute marvel of a video Ricky! Congrats on getting it done and putting it out there, honored to be a part of such a project. Cheers to the Sly Cooper and Playstation speedrunning communities!!!
My pleasure Cuber. You're a legend!
Great video!
Never thought how much effort many members of the community put into this episode and I'm glad it's now all documented in a video, thanks a lot for the effort Ricky!

Great video as always. Thanks for letting me help out with the project!
What an absolute legend of a video! Congrats on finishing it and thank you for letting me be apart of the project! Hope we do another one soon.
Thanks for all the help Z!
I was going to say “The Black Chateau” is probably the most iconic episode to casual players too, but after thinking about it for a second, it’d definitely be Jailbreak for obvious reasons to anyone whose played sly 2.
Yeah, Jailbreak is my absolute favorite episode from Sly 2. It's kind of melancholic, and I love Bentley. It's also the episode from which on the manual doesn't have maps, so as a kid I'd always get lost in that maze of a map, so I'd always prefer to follow the railways. It was nice.
@@jinclay4354It’s such a great episode because it does so many things all at once and all so well. I was just as terrified as Bentley was when I first left the safe house into the unknown spooky gothic prison, and I was just as happy as he was when the gang was back together.
@@gulfgiggleanimations4472
Yeah. Murray's situation was kind of heartbreaking too.
Neat channel, by the way.
I can only describe Jailbreak with *chef's kiss*
This makes me wonder out of all the sly games which is the most iconic episode and which boss fight is the most iconic?
How awesome is it to be alive in a time where we get like a feature length documentary on speedrunning one level in sly 2. Life is good.
For sure man
When Dimitri says Show me your bling and let me shine you, he means "tell me what you want and I'll give it to you". Dimitri isn't evil, for a criminal boss, he's very patient with sly and is even willing to help the gang DESPITE the trouble they cause. The only issue is that Dimitri doesn't want to give up the clockwork parts
No, it means, "show me what you got, and I'll beat you."
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 "Show me what you got and I'll outdo you"
Shine means kick ass
Also- Dimitri is one of the people who killed Sly's dad and stole the parts lmao you telling me he isn't that bad?
@@ssgoko88Dimitri isn’t part of the Fiendish Five
the coolest part of watching this video is the excitement of going to check the leaderboards and seeing that the episode 1 wr is now SUB-27 ?? how much farther can we go!!!!!!
37:47 Sly games have always been very popular in Finland so totally expected to see this heh.
Lol
I’ve never even thought of looking up speedruns of sly 2. It is hands down my favourite sly game, and probably one of my favourite games overall. The sort of game where you feel sad when you finish it, because you’re so invested in it and you don’t know what to do when it’s finally over.
And then the devs tell you to go outside lol...
Hekksu is like the old seemingly feeble character in an anime that turns out to be an absolute beast when some goon pushes his luck too far.

yo youre the GOAT for this
I love that sly is decently big. This was the first video game I ever played and the only reason I game today. I make sure to do a full sly series play through at least once a year and it just makes me so happy to see that the game is still going strong.
chef's kiss to this piece of art, loved the still free cam shots of sly and the journey was insane! shoutouts to the Jak 3 music in 1 part
Sly was my childhood game. To see a video this high quality about such a small speedrunning community is simply gold. And to think, it was made by a Norwegian. Thank you, Rixer
Han er norsk? :o
54:47 let us just appreciate how slys hits match the beat
so excited to watch this! your speedrun history docs are the best, man. im not a speedrunner but i love seeing the history of speedrunning, and your videos are the best ive seen on the subject. fantastic work! cant wait to see what you come up with in the future :)
God I know this is gonna be amazing!
Sly Cooper video is attracting many fellow furries lol.
That Nightclub theme edit towards the end is gold
Sly Cooper was my favorite franchise as a child. I replayed them all recently and they’re damn near just as fun as I remembered. It makes me unbelievably happy to see this pop up in my feed, even if it’s an older video. Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Never before have I loved an editing piece so much as I did the Hurricane section, my god. Excitement and awe wrapped up in a whole heaping helping of Nostalgia. Just, *chefs kiss*
Your documentaries are incredibly well researched and so on point. Your editing skills and timing are some of the best I’ve seen man. Your videos are legendary.
Honestly I cannot stress enough the Artistic mastery of how you cut on the beat for every frame of that dance song in the video.
A lot of people will not realize how beautiful that level of skill is
My mind was blown. It was such a jam
Jeez, thanks ^^
Absolutely unreal seeing sly 2 speedrunning in a wr history video. Thank you for this 🙏
Can't put into words how ecstatic I am to see you enjoy this level of success Ricky. Been watching for 10 years, here's to 20!
Okay, that montage for hekksu's 2734 is an absolute highlight of this video
Your editing only becomes more refined and powerful with each video. The Dmitri X hekksu sequence is absolutely masterful, and probably the best I've ever seen in any speedrunning video. I was screaming in hype when it happened. Exceptional work - you're on a roll!
I got so much nostalgia watching this video. This was the game that got me into gaming 16 years ago when I was a kid. Crazy how fast time flies by.
Just watching the first few seconds of this video put a smile on my face. Thanks for continually putting out excellent content, and fingers crossed for a Sly sequel sometime during our lifetimes!
They did make a 4th one I just found out about the other day
@@kobacongaming7228 Yeah, Thieves in Time came out in 2013 and was developed by Sanzaru Games instead of Sucker Punch. It was a good time as far as gameplay was concerned, but the writing wasn't quite as good as the previous games and the difficulty was lacking. I generally enjoyed it.
What an AMAZING video!! Thank you so much for making this!
Amazing video as always Ricky, thank you for setting the spotlight on Sly 2 in the most deserving way it could have been
What an amazing video! As a longtime fan of Sly 2, this was so fascinating to me. The editing was so well done and I'm really jealous of how you're able to get those free cam shots.
oh... that explains why you didnt wanted to do a ctr wr progression...
now i have another awesome video to watch on one of my favourite ps2 games: sly 2 💕💕💕
congrats on the great work as aways :3
Adorable icon
Been in the community since 2016, interesting to see how things were before then! Well made, I love the view of the episode
This guy is the best part og the sly community. Hulla for life
the sly games made a deep impression on me as i was a kid,
there was sth about this stealth part of the game which was quite different from the rambo style shooting in ratchet and clank
thank you for this masterpiece ricky
I lost my mind at the “Black metal fan gathering” section. Lmao
This is such a sick video, and your love for the game/community shows greatly here
Ty doc!
Fantastic video as always, you've blown this out of the park. Go and get some well-deserved rest
What an informative, interesting, entertaining, and well researched video! Thanks for the upload.
Also, the *shiny* Pokémon sound effect got me at 31:21
This video is meticulously detailed, smoothly edited, and perfectly scripted. Plus, the music choice accompanied by synced edits made it that much more enjoyable to watch. Thank you for making such an awesome documentary for my favourite childhood game. I hope you end up making more videos on the Sly series. If not, then I look forward to whatever is next. Keep it up, man!!!! :)
Awesome video from someone who is not from the speedrunning community, but has remained a fan of the games since i was a kid. I know I would be interested in watching a video like this for all of the episodes, but can understand why this video was focused on episode 1. Thank you for the time it took to make this and enjoyed watching every second of it. From Los Angeles, CA.
Loving all the dates posted next to the records. The chapters on UA-cam really help me slowly pick at this video! Great stuff!
I played this as a kid, so nostalgic to watch. These documentaries are great, thank you for putting in the hours - definitely you deserve more views, dropping a like and this comment to help your algorithm
54:40 this music video is every bit as smooth as these speed runs
What a FANTASTIC video!! Glad to see the Sly Cooper fanbase holding strong!🥳
25:23 Nice little touch, adding a speedrun into his monitor.
These long-form videos you make on speedrunning topics are so top quality, Ricky. I knew you were a champ from that SpeedDocs Ratchet & Clank NG+ WR documentary, but these videos on your own channel are icing on the cake. They always remind me how great fellow speedrunners are in this niche/community, and I’m sure they encourage many to keep on pushing the limits and keep on doing runs. Appreciate you, bruv 🤘🤘🤘
Madlads, all of em, had me hooked the entire time, great vid. Hurts a lil to think about the "maybe's" when the pieces are there so i love how the Hekksu hype wasn't just hype to fade away but now stands as a demonstration of near perfection, hope the traction this video lights a fire under some dwelling runners or newcomers to run the gauntlet. Appreciate you bringing these legends to my attention and much love to the speedrunning community. Cheers
This is a great example of a perfect video. Good work!
Not someone who usually comments but wanted to say that the quality of this video is insanely good. Sky is one of my favorites series so seeing this level of effort put in really bring me joy. Keep up the great work!
I love how thorough and professional your documentaries are. Please keep making them.
YOOO. Congrats on getting the project finally out Ricky! 10/10 success in all regards. Thank you for this amazing video, thank you on behalf of the community for the spotlight and thank you for making me go down a personal nostalgia filled trip through memory lane!
all the little snipits of music from old games in all the pauses of this video bring back so many memories holy crap
As a norwegian myself who grew up with the ps2 sly games, I can confirm that almost every one of my friends who also had a ps2, also owned sly 2 and/or sly 3
this was an awesome video Rixer, thanks so much for creating it and showing off such an interesting story with many intertwining pieces and people! can't wait for your next video
I like how these runs start out very simple and then evolve to include a bunch of crazy glitches, tech, and tricks
The speedrun of sly 2 and 3 are more than 1 hour, different to sly 1 that is under an hour, but It doesn´t make the speedrun boring. it´s interesting to see and know more about sly speedrun, and thank for make this video ;)
Even tho i love Sly a lot, i do think 2 and 3 are horrible in terms of speedrun. No major sequence break, no huge skip, almost no big strat, huge time consuming unskippable cutscenes...
I think it's one of the longest any% speedgame of the whole PS2 (or probably THE longest).
Just basically doing the game normally and the intended way..in order..without any way to skip any job..main time save source being death abuse or reset to save few seconds on unskippable cutscenes...
6 HOURS to beat ANY% on Sly 3.
Huge contrast with Sly 1 that i consider absolutely amazing in term of speedruning.
I can try to see it as somehow "multiple games speedrun merged into a big one" (episodes) to get that more interesting...
I still "love" watching thoses speedruns, since it's still speedruning, and as it's really special and not like the others game, but ngl i don't see what's people are loving running thoses games, i hope a huge sequence break but the way the game is made make it impossible
it also doesnt help that unless you live in korea you have to commit a crime to be optimal
@@TestTest-pq2ry For me the love of running the game started with the movement, I am a huge stickler with movement. As we advanced the run, the love for breaking the intricate system that holds us back has been the main driving force for me for these past few years. One of those "it's become a challenge, So now I can't put it down" type of things.
@@Zryu323 mh... generally speedrunners break the game and beat it, here i think Sly 2 and 3 (and mostly 3) are ones of the biggest defeat of speedruning history, speedrunners practically can't do anything
@@TestTest-pq2ry horrible take
35:53 had me nearly crying laughing LMAO, you've done it once again Ricky! Fantastic vid dude!
Lmao, thanks Josh 😎❤
Bro I love how you use Slim Cognito for your ads.
He's the perfect fit for it.
Amazing video man. Love how something as simple as Episode 1 has so much history behind it, I didn't even expect the competition for Sly to be this fierce.
Excellent video man, always love to see well-made content on a series i hold very close to me
geeg have my children
absolutely incredible video, loved it all the way catJAM keep it up, playstation community represent
Amazing job on the video! The only thing I knew about Sly before was that it exists but just being 15 minutes into the video this is incredible. I really enjoy the content you put out and Im always looking forward to it. Keep on going man your videos are awesome!!
Naaaah man the way you advertised Manscaped with Slim Cognito had me dyinggggg
Super video! I subscribed, Keep it up :)
Seeing this really made my day. Sly Cooper is my favorite game franchise. It warms my heart to see content regarding the series. Thank you man for this amazing video, keep up the good work.
Loved watching this on your twitch live, your videos are always so well edited, keep it up man!
Had this video saved for a while and finally decided to watch, Great content!
Sly has always been my favorite game series, mostly because of nostalgia but looking back the games are just masterfully made, from the music to the voice acting, to the beautiful art style, it all just fits perfectly.
Thank you for this amazing video! Will be watching your other content also :)
Absolutely phenomenal video, Ricky! Your editing is always top-tier, but I gotta say, this one is above and beyond. Thank you for the effort you always put into your work, it shines through every single time!
Absolute killer video. From the structuring of narration to editing and even choice of music, this is top tier youtube content. Keep it up Ricky!
Showed up in my recommendations. This was a topic I never expected to be covered on UA-cam, nevermind in this quality! Great job.
Incredible video, I love the way the video is built, your in-game capture are very clean an cool to watch, that was an astonish video
1 hour of unaltered pure speedrunning knowledge, hell pecking yeah
Keep up the great content!
Finally got around to watching this and im very glad i did! Amazing video Ricky, looking forward to future ones. Truly a joy watching!
My only sly cooper experience was following dimitri in the demo. The song that plays with him and "Smokey alert, freakout!" is always in my head when sly comes up
The quality of these videos are incredible. Love it, keep up the hard work!
I spent most of my days in 2017 or something watching Gnist Speedrun this game. Good times
I've never known about this game wow this was such a great introduction to me, amazing vid ricky
That edit with Dimitris song at the end was greasy sweet.
I remember watching some of your older videos and then you hadn't made a video in a long time and now I'm rediscovering the channel and see you've added so many videos and seem to be uploading semi regularly. Can't wait to binge!! I also subscribed to make sure I don't miss the next one
Everytime this man posts a video i get really hyped bc ive played so many ps2 games so its nice to see how much people care about them and its interesting how they try to speedrun it. Keep up the great work!
This is easily the best speed run documentary I’ve ever watched. Though I may be biased because of my nostalgia for the game. Beautiful editing too! Well earned sub 👍
as a finnish viewer, this was very pleasing end of a long video :D
Fantastic documentary Mr Rix
I absolutely love this man. Always love seeing some new Sly content, especially speedrunning history from one of the best creators of these documentary style videos! I look forward to the next one, there's gotta be some more crazy stuff out there. Who knows.. maybe I'll just have to give it a shot ;)
The saga of Hekksu. I want to hear more about that guy, he seems interesting.
Thanks for documenting all of this!
Amazing video that definitely deserves way more recognition, truly great work, well done 😎
loved the video!!! thanks for sharing this piece of history with us.
I’ve now watched 2 of your vids (however this one gives me deja vu like I’ve already watched another sly vid by you) and I’m in AWE of how fantastic your story telling and editing skills are. The pans, the music choice, and the perfecting timed cuts, are just amazing man. Keep up the good work man. I look forward to watching more!
Also, I absolutely LOVED the hekksu speedrun montage to Demetri lmaooo, that was fire
this video was incredible thank you so much for making it!
I love this breakdown, it’s so well done. I’d love to see this for the other episodes or the full game as well
I didn't even play this as a kid but the editing is so good, the script is top notch. And the background music choices, oh my! These documentaries are amazing, so please give yourself a pat in the back, you really deserve it c:
i love you speedrunners so much. taking my favorite old games that i thought i knew like the back of my hand, and playing them in entirely new and grand ways!
Banger video featuring my 2nd favourite childhood game. Well done man, thank you for this.
This was so good! More than an hour of greatness! The editing was just top notch, especially in the music parts, where you edited clips to make them go along with the music. I also really really like the thumbnail. Great use of colours ^-^
The x2 double attack against guards with square and triangle before they get back up from their damage animation was something I once figured out when I was little and playing Sly 2. It's cool to see speedrunners using it in their runs so many years later lol
Feels unreal to see people still making sly Cooper content with this quality to this day
Another banger video, Ricky, GGs to you... And to all the runners/people featured!
Blessed to see you posted, absolutely lost it when I saw how long it was. Love your content.
