It's a frame-perfect trick. It is not easy.

And be sure to delete your posts here as well, much like you did those runs. Luckily for you I have screenshots of this legendary comedy in case you decide to. :)

You know they're doing something fishy when they delete both submissions after rejection, right before complaining on the forum.

First submission:

Again, you're hilarious. Don't ever search for a new hobby and please be my friend.

edit: yeah no shit this is getting locked.

Dolphin is the only legal emulator on the leaderboards.

pcsx2 is an inaccurate emulation. load times are busted as well.

Requesting for https://www.speedrun.com/tssmmemes to be set as a category extension board. Thanks.

Submitting ILs to a leaderboard doesn't entitle you to a moderator position. If that's the reason why you submitted so many runs, I'd reconsider submitting more.

This does not skip anything because you still have to give the jellyfish to Rusty to get the reef blower. Doing this is actually slower than doing it normally. Pretty much a useless trick unless all reef blower tiles can be collected OoB.

Here is Coel's video for anyone who was interested in knowing who found the OoB + tech used to slide off the ledge and jump and had the original idea for this trick, as it was not explicitly stated in this post. "This is an alternate method as to what Coel tried to do" doesn't do justice for how much of this trick he should be credited for.

It's cool that you were able to turn the camera and jump from a different spot to collect the tile, but the title of the video and your post are both extremely misleading. For those watching on YouTube, Coel is not even mentioned. Whether intentional or not, "found by me" is deceptive and inaccurate.

edit: original post for reference

You never ran the game and your "discoveries" were all found by Coel many years ago.

Your contributions included littering the leaderboards with empty meme categories and adding unnecessary emulator/video/audio regulations for a game that is not competitive. Get over yourself.

You were unmodded from the other games you didn't contribute to due to your misconduct on the BFBB leaderboards. This has demonstrated that you aren't trustworthy for modding games in this series. Farewell.

Sure Thing Bro

Conditions for emulators listed in the category rules still apply.

This is a segmented sum of best run for SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Any%. The time demonstrated in this video is not achievable with the strategies shown. Its purpose is to demonstrate all of my personal bests in this category throughout one video while expressing just how unrealistic achieving a “sum of best run” in speedrunning is, especially against splits this optimized in an hour-long game.

One of the most noticeable flaws in this run is the inconsistent shiny object count across segments. This will naturally occur in any sum of best segmented run due to RNG-related and simply inconsistent aspects of this game. Shiny objects lost in earlier segments can be made up for in later segments, however in this run, shiny object count is irrelevant and no segment “makes up” for losses that occurred prior. Some segments may also have inconsistent shiny object and spatula counts due to routing differences that took place sometime after the best segment was achieved. Ski Lodge is the most dated segment in this run, so this problem is obvious here. Though the spatula and sock counts are inconsistent in this segment, the route for Ski Lodge is still optimal for the current Any% run so the gameplay in it is still valid. Spatulas and socks obtained before the segment have no effect on the tricks performed in the Ski Lodge shown in this run.

So no, a 55 is not achievable with the strategies displayed in this run. Each of these segments were taken from a single sample out of thousands of attempts and cannot be achieved consistently. RNG, luck, load variance and other factors including inevitable movement inconsistency do not allow human players to theoretically achieve a time within one minute of sum of best with this number/organization of such optimized splits. Realistically, it is barely possible to achieve a time within 70 seconds of sum of best, meaning a time of 56:5X is barely possible with the strategies shown in this video. This segmented run is heavily flawed despite my sum of best segments being as accurate as humanly possible. Sum of best is simply a number and is not to be taken literally as true best possible time. In fact, it’s far from it.

Thanks for watching! This has been a product of thousands of hours of optimization so hopefully the gameplay meets your expectations.

no.

I've seen this scene over 7,000 times to date and have not witnessed this once.

They feel worse but if you're struggling to get them, it isn't the controller. I'm able to get them consistently on GC when I play for fun sometimes.

OG Xbox controller constantly drops inputs and the triggers feel like bricks. The only good controllers for running this game are 360 and PS2, and even PS2 is debatable. Running on Xbox doesn't make the game easier in any way. Even some tricks on Xbox are harder or near-impossible compared to GC because of more defined collision boxes on many objects in the game. Not to mention running with what is widely recognized as the absolute worst gaming controller made during that generation.

So if you're looking for an easier time, switching consoles isn't the answer. If you want to increase your ability to compete, getting an Xbox is a good idea. But the only way you'll make tricks easier is by practicing and taking the time to learn the run.

CB isn't "near impossible" on any controller. It's a frame-perfect trick that won't be done perfectly for a long time after starting. Experienced runners make these tricks look a lot easier than they actually are.

Runs that were done years before speedrun.com existed do not require video proof. They were known to exist when recorded by players in the old community.

Don't act like an authority in a community for a game you don't run btw.
