Talk:Sly Cooper vs. Taka/@comment-27175600-20161126084058

Biased though I may be, which is evident by my avatar, you seem to be ignoring or forgetting some of Sly's more powerful abilities and gadgets. Sly wouldn't have to have just hid away somewhere, he could've used invisibility just as Taka did. Sly can also alter both time and his perception of it as well. In Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, he's capable of completely freezing time for a few seconds. He only has that ability in the first game, but that's no reason to dismiss it as noncanon. Even if you did dismiss that as canon, he's still capable of altering his perception to make things appear slower or faster than they really are (himself included) during battles in Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. He's also durable enough to be tossed across an island by one of Dr. M.'s creature, and survive. He's knocked out for a few hours, sure, but he didn't even seem to break any bones, and if he did, they healed very quickly. Even by dismissing ALL of that, Sly's still seemingly a bullet timer, which can be seen in the beginning introduction of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, with Nathan Drake constantly trying to shoot at him only to be met with no success. And, in the most recent game, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Sly has access to a very powerful piece of equipment come in the form of the Arabian costume. This costume not only allows Sly to move just as quickly as before without difficulty, but it also allows him to slow time down. It's not just a gameplay feat either, as the story actually requires for him to acquire and learn how to use this suit properly in order to progress.
