In this entry, we plow through Team Iceland and Team Belgium in the semi-finals, then we get rid of Muggshot once and for all.
ACES Semifinals
You'll have to play as Sly to start this one.
Once you get to the hangar, you'll man the plane and you'll have to take down 25 planes to win. The left analog stick and/or D-Pad lets you fly (with Up descending and Down ascending) X lets you accelerate, Square triggers the brakes, and R1 lets you fire the machine guns. If you run out of ammo (signified by the special weapon energy gauge), get underneath a bridge and pick up more ammo. It'll be flashing, so you can't miss it.
Using the brakes can help keep you behind a plane and make it easier to shoot it down. If you see planes behind you, you may want to ascend or descend before slowing down to let them pass, as it will also keep you from getting shot. If you go too far towards the hills, you'll be brought back to the middle of the arena.
After this, Day One is done. Now it's on to the ACES Finals, where whoever takes out the defending champion wins the championship. Of course, we're going to be doing things that will make this easier, such as getting rid of Team Muggshot once and for all by having Carmelita pump him full of electricity after Bentley lures him out to the town square. As for the Black Baron's guards and pilots, who range from dogfighters to blimp gunship operators, The Guru will have to use mind control on some wolves - after Bentley drugs them in order to get rid of some of them. Meanwhile, Bentley will hack into the aircraft control tower in order to intercept any messages the Black Baron sends to his gunships. If all of this can get done, Penelope will be able to join the team.
The Grapple Cam allows Bentley to cover long distances from a safe place via a remote camera. Press the assigned button once to aim, then use the D-Pad or left analog stick to change where you want to throw it before pressing the assigned button again to throw. Press the assigned button a third time to enter the grapple cam. Press X to shoot a grappling hook. If you hit a wall, quickly press X again to get the camera to where the hook landed, or else the hook will return to the camera. Circle allows Bentley to distract enemies by yelling at them through the camera. If you hold Square, you can make the camera self-destruct if things get dire, but you can always bust out another Grapple Cam if you need to. Finally, Triangle lets you exit the camera.
Beauty and the Beast
You'll need to play as Bentley to start this one.
Here, Sly and Bentley conspire to get rid of Muggshot and his team, and do that, they will have to lure Muggshot towards Carmelita. Bentley will goad Muggshot into meeting him into the town square for a fight, while Sly will lure Carmelita towards the town square.
Head into the hotel with Bentley. Muggshot will be in the back. By approaching him, Bentley will pick a fight with Muggshot, but Muggshot will mention that he is being watched and that he does not feel right beating up a guy in a wheelchair. From here, you have dialogue options. Keep picking options until you get one that allows you to make fun of Muggshot's mother. From here, Bentley will be able to goad Muggshot into a fight.
You'll then control Sly. Use L3 to find Carmelita, then either hit her or have her find you. From there, run straight to the town square, hopefully without getting hit with the shock pistol. Carmelita will run into Muggshot, and you'll finally take control of Carmelita again with the chance to put him away.
Keep mega jumping back and forth, and keep the crosshairs on Muggshot at all times. Remember that you can move while in the air during a mega jump. Muggshot will eventually go down, and he'll be out of the way.
