Board Thread:General Sly Cooper/@comment-26349008-20170127231402/@comment-1845428-20170128182159

I don't think all that much would have changed. Clockwerk would still have killed Conner, Sly would have still killed Clockwerk, Carmelita would still be after both Sly and Clockwerk (as well as other villains, which would just be a minor additional thing for those two to agree on), and Le Paradox would still hate Sly for what Conner did to his father. If Le Paradox went after Clockwerk, he would likely be mad that Sly got the revenge instead of him.

Maybe the only real change would be that Le Paradox would try to kill Sly rather than just take the Cooper canes. Might have made a somewhat more interesting story, especially if Le Paradox was trying to kill the Cooper clan, and Sly had to stop that from happening before he faded away, similar to how Marty McFly was fading in the first Back to the Future when his parents were no longer destined to get married.
