Cryogenic — FBD 12 AA Clear, Frame by Frame

• ▸Single frame source: vwv's Cryogenic FBD 12 capture (2:38, uploaded 2026-09-09, 1,070 views as of the 2026-10-05 page build), an encounter dive at SPEED 3.60 with NIA diving — the upload opens on the staged highway and never shows a CONNECT splash, so the opponent is never named on camera. The capture is completely clean: no face-cam, no hand-cam, no watermark, no burned-in captions — every still below is unpatched. A second human run, とりかげ's first-try hand-cam clear, is credited in the source section but contributed no stills.
• ▸The outcome, stated twice on camera and finished by the card: a DIVE CLEARED banner over the hex void, then CENTERED across the darkened highway, and finally a result card that prints the AA badge beside 095'589'836 — inside the scoring guide's AA band (95,000,000–97,999,999), agreeing with the upload's own AA title tag. This is an AA clear, not a Perfect Dive: the card posts 67 NEAR and 49 BREAK.
• ▸The note count closes exactly: the card's four judgement rows — EXACT 1,600 + EXACT 154 + NEAR 67 + BREAK 49 — sum to 1,870, the same total the catalog's FBD split promises (tap 193 + hold 880 + field 361 + flick 436). Every note in that row was judged on camera; the NEAR and BREAK counts are where this honest AA differs from a perfect run.
• ▸FBD 12 itself is a post-demo chart: the song catalog keeps Cryogenic's demo-confirmed levels at MIN 2 · EVO 5 · ULT 9 with no FBD row, yet a red FBD 12 chip rides both the in-play panel and the result card, and the upload title says FBD 12 — quoted as shown, with the discrepancy disclosed rather than smoothed over.

One video backs every still below: vwv's [In Falsus] Cryogenic FBD 12 AA (2:38, uploaded September 9, 2026, 1,070 views as of the 2026-10-05 page build) — a 1080p60 capture whose in-play panel itself reads Cryogenic, Camellia ft. Petra Gurin, a red FBD 12 chip beside SPEED 3.60. Deep links in each step jump to the matching moment.

The upload carries no spoken commentary, and its only subtitles are YouTube's auto-generated lyric transcription (fragments like "kiss me") — read in full and relied on for nothing, so every fact on this page is screen forensics cross-checked against the song catalog. Overlay disclosure: the capture is completely clean — no face-cam (the portrait at the top-left is the game's own diver avatar, NIA, and the top-right edge belongs to the song panel), no hand-cam, no channel watermark, no burned-in captions anywhere in the 158 seconds, checked on a full-length contact sheet and full-resolution corner crops before any still was cut. All thirteen stills are unpatched. Second source, credited but not cut: とりかげ's 【In Falsus】Cryogenic [FBD 12] 初見プレイ手元/First Try (2:47, 86 views) — an independent first-try human clear of the same FBD 12 chart, which corroborates the level; its dual hand-cam picture-in-picture overlays are exactly the kind of patching this page avoids, so no still was taken from it. The video itself is untouched and linked in full. Timeline note: the download reports no frame count and input-side seeks land off their targets, so every still was cut from a decode-ordered pass selected by frame index (a showinfo PTS map of all 9,482 frames at 60 fps) and verified individually against its own HUD score counter; the deep-link seconds follow the container PTS timeline of the upload and can land a moment off on YouTube's player. Frames extracted 2026-10-05.

Levels and note counts below come from our song catalog (demo-confirmed levels, community wiki splits). Cryogenic is Camellia ft. Petra Gurin's demo track — playable since demo v0.2.0, one of the six demo Encounters — and the catalog's demo-confirmed ladder stops at ULT 9: no FBD row, because the demo never shipped an FBD chart for it. The FBD 12 chart this page anchors is a post-demo addition, attested on camera by the red FBD 12 chip on both the in-play panel and the result card, by the upload's own title, and by とりかげ's independent first-try clear of the same chart.

The catalog publishes an FBD note split for Cryogenic even though its demo-confirmed FBD level cell stays empty — tap 193 + hold 880 + field 361 + flick 436 = 1,870 — and that is the number this run checks against: the card's four rows (EXACT 1,600 + EXACT 154 + NEAR 67 + BREAK 49) sum to exactly 1,870, so every note in the catalog's row was judged on camera. The 67 + 116 imperfect judgements are the run's own honest margin below a Perfect Dive.

Thirteen frames from vwv's AA clear, in video order — the staged highway, the first EXACT, the first EARLY NEAR, the hold ribbons, two of the run's BREAKs, the set pieces, the endgame wall, both ending banners, the settled card. Timestamps deep-link into the video; they follow the container PTS timeline of the upload and can land a moment off.

1. 1

   Highway staged: FBD 12 at SPEED 3.60

   The empty highway waits at 000'000'000 — lane keys Shift, A, S, D, F and Space along the keystones, and the top-right panel stating the terms: Cryogenic, Camellia ft. Petra Gurin, a red FBD 12 chip beside SPEED 3.60. The first violet wall already looms at the top of the chart. No CONNECT splash precedes it in this upload — the video opens with the dive already staged, which is why the opponent's name never appears.

   

2. 2

   The first EXACT at 000'038'685

   The chart's opening violet wall reaches the line and the first EXACT posts beneath it, the HUD cracking away from zero at 000'038'685. The center counter begins its climb toward 1,870 — every one of which will be judged by the end, though not all of them cleanly.

   

3. 3

   The first EARLY NEAR at 001'172'054

   At 4.9 seconds the chart posts its first imperfect judgement: an EARLY NEAR in cyan beside two EXACTs, over a cyan slab sliding down the right lanes. NEAR tags in In Falsus carry their timing qualifier on top — EARLY here — and this is the first of 67 the run will take. An AA run owns its NEARs; this page counts them.

   

4. 4

   The violet hold ribbon at 002'739'465

   A violet hold ribbon bends down the left-centre lanes with an EXACT EXACT pair posting at its base. Whole-lane holds are Cryogenic's signature demand at every level — the catalog's FBD split carries 880 hold notes, the heaviest row of the four — and the run answers most of them exactly.

   

5. 5

   The first BREAK at 005'872'307

   Under a field of wide cyan slabs the judgement line reads EXACT, BREAK, EXACT, EXACT — the run's first full miss, in red, twelve seconds in. A BREAK feeds damage into the encounter fight and resets the link chain; the card will end the run at MAX LINK 420 for exactly this kind of moment.

   

6. 6

   The trapezoid wall at 016'808'012

   A wide violet trapezoid wall drops over a four-wide EXACT row while gold hexagonal bursts ring the judgement line. Side beams plus ring damage is the pairing that makes FBD 12 costlier than the demo's ULT 9 — and the run is still posting full rows through it.

   

7. 7

   Violet and red beams at 039'031'081

   A violet beam and a red beam cross the highway from opposite edges with three EXACTs posting beneath, the counter deep into the chart's first half. The alternating edge beams ask for full-width reads that the demo's lower charts never demand.

   

8. 8

   The cyan flood at 053'977'873 — PHASE 3

   A cyan flood fills the whole highway under a yellow wedge, a violet sail waits at the right edge, and the left rail reads PHASE 3 with the ENCOUNTER SCORE at 86'233 and two of five stars lit as displayed. Past the chart's halfway mark, the encounter fight is still live underneath the dive.

   

9. 9

   A second BREAK at 071'183'422

   Under the late-game violet ribbon and a red beam, the line reads EXACT, BREAK, EXACT, EXACT — the run's misses are not front-loaded, and a full 100 seconds in it drops another note. This is what an AA clear looks like on camera: the same walls a Perfect Dive takes, with a handful of human answers missing.

   

10. 10

    The endgame triangle at 094'473'686

    A tall violet triangle wall fills the highway with five EXACT tags along the judgement line and the HUD knocking on 94.5 million. The chart's final set piece arrives with the run still capable of full rows — the remaining judgements are a formality the card will count precisely.

    

11. 11

    DIVE CLEARED

    The white-on-glass banner takes the screen over the hex void: DIVE CLEARED. On this site's scoring page the grade table applies to DIVE CLEARED settlements — and the banner is where the run's HUD rests at its final 095'589'836. A Perfect Dive run would print a different banner; this is deliberately not that page.

    

12. 12

    CENTERED at 095'589'836

    The CENTERED banner closes the encounter across the darkened highway: the HUD dimmed at 095'589'836, the ENCOUNTER SCORE rail at 156'779 with five star pips as displayed. The site's encounter guide describes drops paying out on a Connected result — CENTERED is the on-camera verdict this run earned, quoted as shown rather than renamed.

    

13. 13

    The result card: AA at 095'589'836

    The settled DIVE RESULT card holds everything the run claimed: SCORE 095'589'836 with the AA badge beside it — the scoring guide's AA band starts at 95,000,000, and the upload's own AA title finally has its badge — over four rows reading EXACT 1,600, EXACT 154, NEAR 67, BREAK 49, a MAX LINK of 420, HIGH SCORE 094'707'396 with DIFFERENCE +000'882'440 (the card's own subtraction, exact), the DIVE CLEARED chip, the red 12 on the jacket, and ENCOUNTER RESULT 000'156'779 with the CENTERED chip and five star pips, NIA printing above RETRY. 1,600 + 154 + 67 + 49 = 1,870 — the catalog's FBD row, judged to the note.
