hello, I check back periodically to see if you guys have continued this series! I would LOVE to watch the rest of the episode's guides. I hope you bring it back soon!!!! <3 sending love!

[superman]

im binging this whole series. ive never ran a speedrun but I love sly so much and its so interesting watching this!!!! THANK YOU BVR & GANDY

[puggo]

These vids teach me how to appreaciate the runs more :)

[AJDaLobster]

Great video & very educational for learning the run. Keep up the great work BVR & Gandy!! Can’t wait for the EP4 Tutorial!

[mrbacon]

would you guys ever do a sly 3 guide like this one? would be so cool! well done on the series

[Topeexd]

These videos should be getting much more views

Major Melon is easily the one I'm most hyped for...a full-calorie watermelon DEW is something I've wanted for about a decade now. The watermelon Kickstart was decent, and the watermelon zero-sugar AMP Game Fuel wasn't bad, but both aren't quite it for me. This one though? I've got a strong gut feeling that it's gonna be an absolute home-run for DEW, and maybe one of their best flavors. Has so much potential.

I dont plan on joining to speedrun sly but i love to watch those nontheless, thanks <3

Too bad there is not a tutorial for episode 4 yet. One of the harder episodes to learn in my opinion.

[shadylightning]

I have had more trouble with the Bentley launch than any other trick you’ve shown in these episode runs. I very rarely can hit it. Either Bentley doesn’t seem to want to stick to the ledge, or I think I’m jumping too late

[ijkvo]

These people are legends for taking time out of there lives to give us an advanced and beginner speed run tut 🫡
