Satellite Sabotage 0x X Presses
Thanks for stopping by! This video is about completing the job Satellite Sabotage without using the X button to jump. This is a TAS; this was done using save-states, and the final product was made by splicing the successful attempts together to make for a seamless viewing experience.
If you’re not familiar with the XBC, watch this video: • Sly 2 - What is the X Button Challenge?
Once again I apologize for the low video quality. It will improve in future videos.
Here's what's going on:
The first trick is forcing Sly into a proxy formed by the car and the wall to launch him into the air and onto the water tower.
For anyone unfamiliar, a proxy is any sort of crevice or small space that doesn't want a character like Sly to be in there. If you fall down onto one, it can soft-lock you until the game decides to put you back where you came from a few seconds later.
But more importantly if you find yourself inside one, it will force you out, sometimes at ludicrous speeds. These will be abused many times in this challenge.
The second trick involves what I call a slippery floor. At the second satellite dish, there's a part of the "wall" that acts like a floor when you walk on it and an actual wall when you try to land onto it. That is a slippery floor. If you find yourself standing on one, you'll usually slide down it pretty quickly, but with something like the spin attack you'll be able to go up a part of it before eventually sliding back down. The range at which Sly can activate the satellite dish is larger than you may expect, which is why I was able to activate it from such a low place.
The last satellite dish is simple to get to. Charging your cane dismounts Sly from any rope or spire he is currently on, which allows me to drop onto the trampoline platform.
