    [Verse 1]
    Minin' away
    I don't know, what to mine
    I'll mine this anyway
    In this Minecraft day, so beautiful
    Mine further down
    What's that I found?
    [Chorus]
    Mine diamonds (take on me)
    Mine diamonds (take on me)
    I'll mine them
    So far I've got two!
    [Verse 2]
    So easy to mine
    With my Minecraft pickaxe and shovels
    Hopefully they stay
    In my Minecraft chests
    So I'm gonna make
    A lock on it
    [Chorus]
    Mine diamonds (take on me)
    Mine DIAMONDS! (take on me)
    I'll mine them!
    So far I've got two!
    [Bridge]
    "Ah cough*, *sniff*, *cough*, *cough*, *cough*, *cough*, *cough*, *sniff*, *cough I'm all right, I'm ready"
    [Verse 3]
    All these diamonds
    Sittin' carefully lay
    I'm getting worried
    If they might get stolen From my ender chest
    Wait, who is that?
    Holy sheep, it's Notch!
    [Chorus]
    Mine diamonds (take on me)
    Mine diamonds (take on me)
    Now they're safe
    Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    Now... Now that they're safe
    Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    Mine diamonds (take on me)
    Mine diamonds (take on me)

    Already starting an FAQ section cause I'm seeing a lot of discussion here and in Discord lol
    Q1: Can't you get more collectibles to make the counter take more time to reach 0?
    A: Unfortunately the counter on the screen is purely visual. The memory value goes down from X to 0 in one frame once the cruise bubble is released.
    I'll add more to this as the discussion continues

      Would a damage boost work for horizontal momentum storage? Say you paused on the same frame you got hit by a fodder bot, could the knock back effect be stored to the next level? I’m obviously not an expert at this game, just throwing out an idea.

    • @BIP0LArS0LdI3R
      @BIP0LArS0LdI3R 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Has anyone put thought into storing the ice momentum from Sand Mountain? Flounder Hill has 1 sandman collectible at the start and has ice at the end. I'm not sure how ice works vs. oil in the game's code but I think it's worth a shot.

      Shift, wouldn't you be able to hypothetically store momentum from the exploding tikis and be able to use the damage boost to travel to squidward if you did a frame perfect warp to jelly fish fields?

    Can you have storage of character dialogue states?
    So Squid has his intro dialogue, then presumably a 2nd dialogue if you talk to him again before getting the jelly, then a 3rd dialogue for when you do have the jelly and he gives you a spatula.
    So is there any way to store another characters 3rd dialogue state, warp to Jellyfish Fields, then talk to Squidward to trigger the Spatula? Never played the game so sorry if this is a stupid idea, just throwing it out there

  • @SeanVertigo
    @SeanVertigo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Interesting development, and stellar video quality. My knowledge on BFBB's tech is next to zero, but I wonder what other types of horizontal movement can be stored when loading between different levels. Are there any enemies in the game that move the player as their being damaged? Perhaps that can be stored? I have no idea.
    Looking forward to further findings!

    This video reminds me of an interaction I had back in like 2018. We were still doing the old-school Goo Lagoon SpongeGlide where you go to the second island and then have to glide back. I hypothesized that we could glide straight to the first island and save a bit of time, but everyone was like, "Oh, please. We know what we're doing. If that was real, we'd be doing it in runs." So I gave up.

    If I’ve learned anything about BFBB Speedruns, it’s that there’s always a way.
    This game is so funkin’ insane that someone will discover a glitch that stores horizontal movement with spongeball from some level.
    Might not specifically be that method, but I have faith in our community.

    I was here when BFBB speedruns blew up a little a few years ago. Was here when he first got 59, and so on. I remember SHIFT sitting down and saying "how much more optimal can we get" and we thought that a sub 58 or 55 were the farthest it could go. Ya boi went under 50, is in the 40s and still going! The evolution of these runs is frickin mindblowin. -

      because the cruise bubble can't stay out while you're moving, getting a CB would just force you out of the state unfortunately. you'd need to move while being in the targeting state, which is why oil storage was the prevailing theory (if it actually worked)
