One character AI flaw in the early AC games is that enemies can't do anything if they are crouching on a railing/beam/other climbable object while you are hanging below. This was changed later in the series by giving them the ability to stomp down on you in that situation, but in the meanwhile enemies jumped to their deaths as a result. Here are some examples in AC2.

Highlights from Sequence 9 of Assassin's Creed II, set in Dorsoduro during Carnevale. THB regulars may want to skip And They're Off and CTF as these are merely FAQs for beginners who have difficulty completing these missions. There's a "Click here to skip FAQs" button for your convenience.
Nun the Wiser
Five well-placed gun shots are enough to essentially clear the square for Carnevale. The host must be embarrassed to address an audience of four people.

"Superblending" refers to the unintended ability for Ezio to remain hidden (blended) while performing actions that would ordinarily attract attention. Superblending is an incredibly useful exploit that can be used widely throughout the game. Before discussing superblend, let's establish the concepts of "blending grace period" and "standing/non-standing surfaces."

The Mysterious Death of Marco Barbarigo
The goal of this mission is to steal the Golden Mask from Dante Moro, sneak into Marco's party, sneak onto Marco's guarded ship, poison him, and escape - all without killing anyone other than Marco, and without being seen at all (no yellow bars over the guards). For added challenge, I don't hire anyone, such as courtesans. This video was recorded in one continuous take.

Ghost
The goal is to kill every opponent you that can reach in the "Having a Blast" (Marco Barbarigo) mission without being seen. That means no yellow bars whatsoever. To keep it challenging, I don't use anything other than the hidden blade. This mission is basically the same as the Silent Crash of Carnivale, but on steroids:

Silent Crash of Carnivale
The goal is to kill every opponent you that can reach in the "Having a Blast" (Marco Barbarigo) mission without being detected. There are lots of ways to accomplish this task - this video shows just one way. This video is not optimal, but it demonstrates some of the techniques that can be used.

A few useful things you can do with the airwalk glitch. Thanks to Asaic for the tip about sprinting from viewpoint to viewpoint.

Anonymous Blitz Assassination
Despite appearances, the guards and the target aren't very alert on this level. Run straight for him and air assassinate from the rail.
