World 4 Skip Discovered After 8 Years of Speedrunning Sly Cooper 

Speed running documentaries be like “the Piglet’s Big Movie Game community was shaken by the implications of Eeyore Skip”

Amazing job explaining everything in this video. Super cool to see everyone getting hyped about Sly Cooper again!

Human beings go to the moon: "That's neat". Human beings find the world 4 skip in sly cooper "This is an astonishing achievement".

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 :)

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.

Good video :)

Crazy how many speed running communities have made insane breakthroughs in the last couple of years

Sly Cooper and the Smashius LikeButtonus.

9:19 here's a great trick to skip the "introduction" instead.

I've never played Sly Cooper in my life and this was interesting as hell. Really excited about the direction your RU-vid channel's taking, Ricky!

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!

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 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.

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 ❤

I go back to my ps2 time and time again to relive this trilogy

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!

Love the fact that my favorite game is still kicking and the speedrun community evolves, thanks Ricky

I love hearing more about speed-running history, thank you for uploading these well edited and well informed videos!

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 !!

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!

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)

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.

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 👍

I love Sly Cooper so much. Thank you for making this to help expose him to others.

Excellent content! Love stuff like this and you’ve done a great job making these videos. Keep it up man x

Great video, nice to see this amazing achievement discussed more!

Really happy this got recommended to me! Super informative, great presentation and entertaining! Can't wait for more stuff like this!

Glad this was recommended. I miss Sly Cooper a lot these days.

Me at 11pm: ThaRixer: Good afternoon!

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!

Amazing video! Thank you so much for this bit of speed running history!

Another great video. Been really enjoying these, keep it up my man it's an absolute pleasure to watch

Love your vids, keep it up man

What a nice intro. Flows so well, with a good music and cuts to the chase, refreshing

I've been watching these a lot at work on break, this is such a fascinating topic

An absolute treat to watch, love this stuff Ricky!

These videos are great. Well done Ricky

12:54 potentially my favorite video game track of all time

Before the video started I asked myself; "Is it the cannon glitch?" After the video I said to myself; "It's the cannon glitch"

Holy shit Sly Cooper is a childhood favorite this video was dope af!

Many times i find myself coming back to rewatch ThaRixer videos again I need more

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.

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

this video was so entertaining, thank you for doing that and to have explained all to us

Used to watch your Jak runs, forgot about your stuff for a while, recently got it recommended again (good old RU-vid 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!

audio quality is great. nice vid rick.

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.

I love these type of videos. Keep up the good work!

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 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!

I actually love these videos! Keep it up Ricky ❤

Awesome video and a huge skip! Long time watcher and yes please do more!

Can we just talk about how "void drowning" sounds like the scariest fucking thing in the world?

I just finished sly cooper 1 again and I instantly see this in my feed, what a coincidence lol

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 :)

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

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!

Always neat to hear about things! Thanks for uploading!

TaymNeon and Zen are p chill, especially Zen he's a great dude

I love this history videos! It's really interesting ^^

And now I can beat that no coin run of sly cooper and not have to worry about the flaming temple of flame. Sweet

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😂😂

i just love a deep voice explaining to me in depth a intricate mechanic for speedrunning for game i've never played

Loving this type of content! Keep it up :)

RU-vid reccomend this out of the blue. I thought this banging game was a fever dream lmao

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.

Keep up the good work Ricky! Loving these videos

Omg i love sly cooper so fking much , That game was literally my childhood

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

I was watching the stream when the skip was found, good times

Oh man nice video. Also sick skip, I've seen Mikkel attempt but didn't quite get what was going on until now.

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.

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.

Only heard the first second of this video and I'm already pogging, let's go Ricky!

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.

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!

Every time this gets thrown at my recommended page I think world 3 skip has been found for a split second 😭

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. :)

This video is like a huge blast from the past for me... Loved this game

I used to run this when I was in middle school i would do A 100% no death run no memory card lol.

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

Good video. I havent ever even seen sly speedrun and you explained things well

Sly Cooper is definitely my favourite game to speed run. Pyschonaughts is also up there tho

I honestly much prefer your videos when you cover speed games no one really talks about like Jak and Sly, so keep em coming!

Idea: Save Game in Low Grav world 3 state. Start the run from there, then in world 3 use pause buffering to load the save and then your run save. This should in theory cause the load trigger to be active as all attributes from the first save are carried over to your run save.

My favorite game series. Never gets talked about for some reason

Great content recently keep it up Ricky!

3 is such an appropriate world to have the last little secret

Top notch quality video. Thank you 😊

Came to youtube to see where i could find the sly cooper gear in ghosts of tsushima, left wanting to replay sly cooper again.

I spit my fucking drink out after hearing that it skipped 9 minutes. As someone who understands just how important even 2 second time skips can be, 9 minutes is insane.

wonder if the trigger stays on if you reset the game during that cutscene and reset the game, just like how in ratchet & clank 1 you can spawn the final boss end button if you beat the final boss first, then start the speedrun

Another youtuber with a good voice that talks about speedruns. Subscribed.

If you already know how to speedrun this game, just skip ahead to about 9:00

Love these videos- keep up the good work!

Dude your content is amazing,ty

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.

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

I remember this channel. The last video I watched of yours was your Let's Play of Sly Cooper: Honor Among Thieves. I would skip to the Master Thief Challenges and listen to the music while playing video games.
