Played through this game multiple times and I *never* even noticed the recovery platforms in the Decibel fight 😂
I always just turned the ability off when I had a nice amount of space between the notes
Bell135 I feel that
It happens to all of us
I had to use the regeneration platforms.
For the walls in The Grizz fight for part 2 and 3, I just stand in between two ice blocks (in front of the normal wooden wall between the two) and can hit two ice blocks at the same time!
Yeah i use the same tactic
I see thanks!
thank you so much for doing this video VIVI. especially in this day and age when we can't really do anything.
Thanks fort he ongoing support!
Any day is a good day when Vivi posts a Sly Cooper video
Yay :D
Anyone else ever notice this series has a thing for blimps? Raleigh’s hideout? Blimp, The Contessa’s getaway vehicle? A blimp, the entire final level of Sly 2? Takes place on a blimp, when you fight Dr. M in sly 3, what do have to take down? A blimp, what does Le Paradox hide out in in Sly 4? A blimp. I’m currently playing through the series again right now and it’s just something I noticed while playing.
Also on a side note if Sly 5 ever happens, do you think there should be a prologue section where we play as sly when he was a kid and we actually get to play out the cookie heist? I actually think that would be kind of cool but I would like to hear what you think about that as possibility
(Oh, and there are also 2 other missions in Sly 3 that involve dealing with blimps! One in Flight of Fancy and the other in Opera of Fear)
Redbandit BLIMPS
You are so right hahaha! Cookie heist gameplay? SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is something I always wanted!!!
Blimp Simulator
The amount of effort put into these videos. Amazing.👏
Thank you so much!
I have to admit as much as the fourth game was a disappointment the boss battles were pretty challenging that fight with El Jefe...man that was hard.
I didn't find them hard at all. Annoying tho, yes.
The game is great the boss fights are not hard at all they are annoying af
When I got the game on vita and fought el jefe, I had a break down
I actually died a decent amount my first time fighting the three headed dragon. Mainly just trying to figure out everything that’s going on, it’s not hard to do after that. My favorite fight was against Miss Decibel. I loved the costume to slow down time.
Always loved the El Jefe fight. I remember watching it at E3 and crying bc we finally got some new Sly lol
Thanks for making this video VTNVIVI, it really helped me with the bosses, now I can beat them first try! I also have a tip for the grizz, whenever the walls appear if there are two ice blocks one wall away from each other you can hit the middle of the ice blocks (the wall in between the two ice blocks) and it will break both of the ice blocks. That's a lot of ice blocks I've said!😂
Thanks for the tip!
Last week, I was just chilling on YT and I saw a old video from ~2013 on Thieves in times (from an old French channel that broadcast montages with music (GameOneMusicHD), that brought me the attention on all the universe of Sly Cooper, and I wasn't expecting that much 😲 I mean, I just fall on one of your video about Sly, and every night, same routine, look at all your video about Sly for arround 2/3h hours. The work you pull into it is very big and consequent, all the theories, story .... are very well done. That really put me in this beautiful world, and it's pretty cool. You give me you make me want to start all the games again, and then wait patiently for the next one, while keeping hope, and watching your videos. Keep working like this, it's very good !
(Sorry if Google traduction and my knowledge of English isn't the best, and hello from France 🇫🇷)
Thank you so much!!!!! C'est tres gentil de votre part!
Vtnvivi I believe the moral of all these boss fights are like the ones from the first three sly games timing is everything in terms of dodging the bosses attacks and when to strike,also in sly 2 dimitri and rajan in the episode 3boss battle were the hardest ones for me when I first played it also clock-la with the helicopter and constantly neyla in episode 6with benlty’s rc chopper !.
Great video, loved it !
Now let's watch it.
Bruh
@@dulow1047 Yes
;)
You just gave me an idea, to make an analysis of the 5 bosses (minus the machine for a start) in this Sly Cooper 4 game, thank you!
No problem!
El Jefe is my favorite villain in the series, next to Dimitri. He had the best boss fight in the series and plus he was voiced by my favorite voice actor, Nolan North, A.K.A Nathan Drake. He also voiced Cyrille Le Paradox in the game as well.
Dang man. I asked for something this month and you made a vid similar to it. You must've had it planned. Either way, great video vivi!
Thanks as always :D
when toothpick is jumping on you you should change to the jailbird costume and roll on the ball
Thank :O
I kind of forgot you did this video. I'm not surprised you put ms decibel at number 1. she was very tricky! lol
I do like your Boss rankings along with Episodes from Sly Cooper, as they are quite interesting of what to like and dislike about them. :)
Curious since next year will be the 60th Anniversary of Spider-Man, I wonder if you'll do Spider-Man PS4 Bosses Ranked (counting the DLC which has Hammerhead (twice) and Silver Sable.)? Plus could be nice to share love of Marvel's Spider-Man.
really looking forward to seeing your video of le paradox and his boss fight overall. that sounds like it's gonna be really interesting I think...
It probably won't be what you're expecting ;)
VTNVIVI okay I’ll keep that in mind then.
In my opinion, the final outfit you get, the one with the slow time ability (I forgot what it’s called) is my favorite one. Slowing time is kinda overpowered a bit in a lot of situations.
Sly vs LA paradox was by far the funniest to me, and the most interesting suspense wise.
3:22 exactly!
My favorite part. 3:33
I enjoy sharing my words with Cyrille
i love your videos
When I play sly 4 I’m gonna love it
Can I just say how much I loved the grizz? He was so cheesy and quirky. My fave boss
All the villain in Sly Cooper Thieves in Time: El Jefe, Toothpick, The Grizz, Penelope, Miss Decibel and Le Paradox are absolute monsters.
I like the boss battles in this game! After all, there are more to boss battles than smacking the creeps around!
Yep!
Quick question, Who turned on them blasted whistles?!
1) Did you intend to make that reek pun?
2) Sly's jailbird costume has a ball and chain, not a boulder.
3) Which villain from Sly 4 was your favorite?
1. Wait...... no way hahaha not even!
2. Ball and chain is the technical term yes :)
3. El Jefe
For the Penolope versus Bentley boss fight all I did was the super. The thing about it is you have to have a full meter. That means no dodging. You can dodge when necessary. But don’t do it repeatedly. The super does a lot of damage and she moves slowly as well. What I did was I stayed away from her. The super can go at her from pretty much anywhere in that arena they are fighting in which means you can just stay away from her and deal damage with the super. I played the thing once and that’s exactly what I did.
Also for a review on my first Sly Cooper game, I loved it. I am a FPS player and I found this game simple yet difficult. I liked that difficulty. To be honest, I need to do the Murray dance and the Carmelita belly dance more to get better at doing those things cuz I feel like I did terrible, tho I didn’t drain my health bar on those. Also how do you get that outfit for everyone? Like the secret outfits.
I also want to do the belly dance for other reasons that nobody needs to know.
I really want to play sly 4 but i either have to pay for a subscription on my ps4 or buy a psvita.. Or a ps3... Or wait and hope that we get a sly collection with all 4 sly games remastered for the ps4
14:17 would you say Timing Is...EVERYTHING?
I see what you did there :P
I liked the quick time portion of the final boss fight, I just did not like the rail slide section, both because it was easy and we just did the same thing against the previous boss. Replace that with something harder and it would be fine.
The only boss I know a good tip for is The Grizz. If you use Murray's explosive gloves you can beat him much more quickly than normal every little bit of damage helps.
Thanks!
The Grizz was for me the hardest boss fight. It was also, in my opinion, the worst boss fight of the game. All the other bosses ironically enough were about equally difficult for me (4 tries or so each). The only exception was the final boss which I finished in two tries. My favorite was definitely Miss Decibel.
I would suggest a Top 10 favorite bosses from the series video because I'm curious about what they are for you. Anyway cool video man.
Thanks for sharing!
Here's my list;
7 - Le Paradox - Nice visuals but not enough for me to appreciate the boss fight at all since it's just an extended quick time event, granted they used QTEs a lot in the game up to this point but they're just so boring, redundant and overdone.
6 - Miss Decibel - Like that this boss fight includes a lot of platforming and avoiding her attacks are pretty challenging, but what kills it for me would be the length. This boss fight just outstays it's welcome for me having too many phases for a Sly Cooper boss fight for me.
5 - The Grizz - I like this boss fight in a way, feels like a combination of General Tsao's 2nd boss fight from the 3rd game crossed with Dingodile's boss fight from the 3rd Crash Bandicoot game with a sprinkle of QTEs. I honestly couldn't tell whether or not this boss fight included ice physics since the series has never used ice physics at all to my recollection and if this boss fight did use it, it would explain why it kind of felt disorienting for me when avoiding his attacks up to the walls sections, hence why I won't rank it any higher.
4 - Toothpick - Interesting ideas, like how much of a challenge it is to avoid his attacks until he's open which is nice and all but it doesn't leave me with much to say about this fight.
3 - The Black Knight - Cool platforming and great use of the Archer Outfit (one of the better if not the best outfit of the game in my opinion), really engaging second phase for the boss fight when playing as Bentley too.
2 - Moat Monster - This boss fight really was impressive. It's disappointing that they didn't utilise Carmelita's Gameplay enough in the game since a lot of the added power-ups they gave her would've made for really interesting combat for her if they used her Gameplay a lot and this boss fight is a great example of that with multiple phases, each phases getting more and more challenging and harder to avoid the attacks as well as making use of the shock pistol for more then just attacking the weak spots of the boss like shooting the smaller guys and incoming missiles. This was also the first bit of her Gameplay they had revealed back in 2012 which left me craving for more of that in the game.
1 - El Jefe - Yeah, this one right here is the one I'd personally rank as the best. A lot of challenging platforming involved where you need to avoid his attacks whilst trying to reach him, same goes for when you're face to face with him (pun not intended BTW since the actual level here is called "Face-To-Face"), nice to see the Samurai Armour getting a lot of use in these phases too since it has not one but two uses in this whole fight, keeping you protected from the large fire waves and deflecting fireballs at him. There's about as much difficulty put to this fight as there was in the other ones that's close to this spot but another reason why I ranked it as the best is because there's so much put to the presentation of the whole fight to the point where it's actually easier to appreciate it whilst I'm in the fight. This is also the very first bit of Gameplay they had revealed back in mid 2011 when the game was revealed which helped to bring the hype up when the game was announced.
(Although one thing about this fight is that there's a trophy where you'd need to beat El Jefe without taking damage which sounds like it would have enough of a challenge to get it and be difficult ... until you find out that there's an option in the pause menu that lets you restart from the last checkpoint meaning if you take damage, you can just pick that option and restart from the previous save point and the damage you took won't count at all. You can also do this for the other phases too and this is also how I got the trophy myself when I played the game for the first time so ... yeah.)
Nice breakdown Tabreez!
In terms of difficulty:
1. Sheriff Toothpick
2. Ms. Decibel (I try to be savage and not use the slow time ability at all; died so many times but I eventually got it lol)
3. The Grizz
4. El Jefe
5. Penelope
6. Three-headed Dragon
7. Cyrille Le Paradox
We're pretty close!
Instructions unclear fell to my death at Le Paradox on my no deaths run.
Oh nuuuuuuu
This gives me an idea: I would have the Sly Cooper 5 Bosses use the Spider-Man PS4 Bosses as ideas when you're fighting bosses with the Spider-Man PS4 Combat Formula and gadgets instead of costumes without making difficult
I'd love to have different suits for Sly, each with a unique ability attached to his cane!
The first time I fought Penelope's overlord mech, the model glitched out and stretched all across the screen. All I could barely see was the ground around me.
how did that happen?
@@jackbartholomaus6510 No clue. Fortunately, reopening the game was all it took to fix it.
Oof
@@VtnVivi why is Interpol a lover for the life sentence?
You know when i was younger i didn't learn how to run until very end of the game so the boss fights were very hard for me
The thief costume
Bentley as a therapist: Deep Fried Cave Toothpick doesn't exist he can't hurt you
Deep Fried Cave Toothpick: 15:29
you still planning to rank the episodes of sly 4 at all? like how you did with the first 3 games? you know what I'm saying?
El Jefe, Toothpick, Rajann, Panda King, Jean Bison and Mugshot are my favourite side characters
Didn't know the suit blocked El Jefe's fire aura. I just took it to chin or tried jumping away 😂
:O
Miss Decible is my favorite as well
First, also love the vids bro keep it up
No me
Thanks as awlays!
When fighting toothpick. Stay on the jailbird outfit and run/roll on the shackles to outrun the slams of toothpick.
Nice one!
I wish they had difficulty on every sly games cause it’ll make the game kinda better. Like on sly 2 clock la with these electric rings.
Rajan swung his weapon really fast. Dimitri shooting so fast hit really fast.
Sly cooper ms ruby the most difficulty bosses. Sir Raleigh the spinning tongue, sly 3 black Baron airplane jumping the guards getting in the way, and general using his dragons. Dr M using every banding.
Fun fact, Sly 4 was going to have a horseshoe mode ala Sly 1! It was cut.
I wish clockwork was a secret boss because this game is all about time travel if you collect a certain amount of clockwork feathers.
This could be when clockwork was flesh and Bone before he became mechanical.
He could have been planned as the final boss for the cut Egypt episode.
I'd love for a secret boss to appear one day, it doesn't have to be Clockwerk even.
Are u gonna do sly 2 rank bosses and sly 3 ?
Already have :) Check out my Sly playlist!
The bosses are fun in the game Vivi
Absolutely! One of the pros of Sly 4.
@@VtnVivi heck yeah man the series is always fun
I rank El jefe at number 1 the surroundings are pretty cool and the gameplay is pretty fun
Toothpick is weird cool boss fight
I havent fought these bosses in a while I'm not sure how I'd rank them in difficulty XD
Okily dokily!
I wish that sly cooper could have more mechanics like I want to to be close like Batman mechanic
hang on. of mice and mechs isn't episode 5! it's episode 4 I'm sure isn't it? unless of course if you count the Paris prologue?
I count the Paris epilogue.
VTNVIVI okay then.
2:52 Not gonna lie i had a lot of difficulty with this part (jk lol)
WHO is your favorite boss on Sly 4?
El Jefe!!!! Just the setting, the use of the samurai suit and all!
Le Paradox! I like his talking style and his plan is amazing!
I always thought toothpicks entire fight was meant to be used with the jailbird..?
From what I've been reading, yeah you can use use the suit more if you'd like.
15:29
Well damn, I didn't know that my sleep paralysis demon was in Sly 4
Oof
My dad absolutely hated the bosses in this game.
The boss fights in this game are probably my favorite part in the game, especially El Jefe and Grizz. Even though you have to hear Here comes the Grizz! and No way you’ll catch the G traiiiiin! constantly. Or as in the finnish dub for Sly 4.
Täältä tulee Grizz! Sinä et G junaa kiinni saa! Yeah, my native language is pretty hilarious sometimes and the Grizz has a freakin’ stupid voice in the finnish dub.
I fully agree that the Le Paradox boss fight was the easiest fight. In my head I was like “I thought this would be a bit harder”
Tho The Grizz boss fight was the hardest for me. I don’t know how many times I died on it. When I first looked at it and saw those ice blocks that you have to hit I thought it was almost impossible. I still got passed it. Took up most of one of those three days.
Everything other than the ice blocks, The Grizz wasn’t hard.
Toothpick was ez pz. I got him without dying first try.
Wait. Ms. Decibel is number 1!!!??? As long as you have that slow time on it’s really easy. In fact I had a better time against her than I did Toothpick.
My favourite is Penelope and el jefe
Awesome!
This is my ranking 7.EL paradox ofc 6.The elephant I forgot her name and I live In Saudi arabia 5.that metal crunky dragon 4.toothpick 3. Penelope/the black knight 2.the grizz 1. EL JEFFE
Whatever you do, don't switch to the samurai costume when El Jefe roars and pushes you back. I did it once and it froze my game.
Hey thanks for the Heart on the comment.
Do you still work at the candy store
Unfortunately, there was a fire next door, we shut down.
@@VtnVivi will u deliver when you open up again
At least Le Paradox’s fight is much longer than Black Hand’s from Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor
Actually she attacks with a trunk not a horn (pushes up glasses with a 145 IQ).
Toothpick is easier than miss disable and Greece
Alrighty!
#Sly cooper Assassins
TÄÄLTÄ TULEE GRIZZ
#sly cooper in rome times
Le paradox is this best boss and in sly 5 the bosses other than ms ruby are like le paradox
Hmm.....
It's a metal ball in his Jailbird costume. Not a boulder.
Edit: Then again....it pretty much metaphorically a boulder lolz
Boulder, ball, sphere, circular rock, ball and chain, I think I got the point across.
@@VtnVivi it's not even attached to a chain lolz
Nice going, Sanzaru
#sly cooper 5 sly retruns
It's an iron weight, not a boulder.
Alright fine you win.

You forgot that there's another boss: Wildman Weezner
He was more of a mini-boss.
@@garthdavis4320 Well, Vivi covered mini-bosses in the Sly 3 bosses comparison video (such as the Crusher and the Chinese dragon).
That El Jefe boss was literally fire 🔥
And while I do respect your opinion I have to say that I didn't realize see any challenge to the other boss fights in the game. All the other boss fights was just the game telling you how to beat them instead of trying to figure it out on your own. I didn't really like the whole "use the suits to defeat your opponent" thing. While they are kinda fun and hilarious but it still didn't feel the same as the old ones.
#1: El Jefe) as I said up top, that El Jefe boss was lit 🔥👌
#2: Toothpick) He basically falls for the same exact trick over and over again. He doesn't change tactics at all. He just use his regular standard attacks and then just stands there and waits for you to sound the whistle like an idiot. *¯\_(ツ)_/¯*
#3: Grizz) I expected the Murray and Grizz boss fight to be like a hand to hand fist fight 👊💪. But instead we got an endless phase of dodging, throwing ice cubes and silly ice skating. That's it.🤷♂️
#4: Penelope/ Black Knight) Penelope was actually kinda fun and challenging but I expected the boss fight to mostly be centered on her fighting Bentley. 🐢 *vs* 🐁
#5: Ms Decibel) This boss fight was kinda just a chase sequence. All you have to do is chase her, dodge her, and smack her in the face when she gets dizzy. That is all. 🐘💨😫
Final boss: Le Paradox) This boss fight was utter boring. I remember playing it for the first time and realizing how easy it was. Once I beat it I was like "That's it? That's the final boss? That was just a bunch of cheap quick time button mashing! *Grrrrrrrrr Sly 4 betrayed us!!!!* (That was just a SpongeBob reference. I just wanted to throw in a little humor while posting this comment)
But seriously this game kinda disappointed me with boss fights by turning each of them into cartooney puzzles. In my eyes that's not what Sly Cooper is known for. The other 3 previous games had quite enjoyable boss fights compared to this.
I like how the old Sly Cooper boss fights were. In the first game they were kinda puzzling. Especially the Ms Ruby boss fight when you had to react to everyone of her movements.
The second game boss's wasn't really puzzling. They were just straight up fights. Dimitri's boss fight was straight up kicking his ass and that goes for Rajan's and Contessa's boss fights as well. Jean Bison was just a straight up idiot for falling for the same trick over and over again. And the Clock-La boss fight was just a repeat of the Clockwork boss fight in Sly 1. Tho I have to admit, as a kid it was challenging at first.
In Sly 3 The boss fights just center on the player literally encountering opponents that change tactics during their boss fights. And I am mostly defending Sly 3 because their boss fights are the most memorable part of my childhood. Especially Octavio, Black Baron/ Penelope, General Tsao ( I think that's how you spell it) and Dr M especially.
But overall I do agree and respect your opinion on the Sly 4 boss fights. Sorry for posting this long comment. I just admire your videos just as much as I admire Sly Cooper as a kid.
Thanks for your breakdown!!!!
@@VtnVivi like I said, sorry for ranting. Or unless you were being serious then your welcome. 👍
I find el jeres the finnes boss to beat in sly 4
It's pretty stupid how people do the bosses with only swinging your cane; mix it up a little, make it interesting. Spice things up; I do it all the time.
Sly 4 from the get go did that with the different suits and all.
@@VtnVivi Not what I meant. I'm talking about usual Sly players of Sly 2 and 3; they don't spice things up in their gameplay to make things more interesting. I however, spice it up all the time.
ms decibel
Bosses in sly 2 and 3 are far better. At least the bosses try to hurt you and don't stand in one place.
The bosses are like the episodes in this game, the first two are really great and enjoyable. The rest is just meh.
Raindrops R so true
Alrighty :)
This game should have never been made. If you want Sly to come back, consider this idea for a 5th game by Savo Central- czcams.com/video/9tN14HtnV8U/video.html
The boss fights in this game sucks! The only boss I like is solely the metal three headed monster.
Apart from El Jefe, all the villains in this game sucked ass.
:/
