Cryogenic — EVO 5 EX+ Full Link, Frame by Frame

• ▸Single frame source: :paradox's Cryogenic EVO 5 capture (2:46 as downloaded, uploaded 2026-02-11, 1,432 views as of the 2026-10-06 page build), a SPEED 3.50 encounter dive with NIA diving against FREYA — an opponent this upload actually names, on the CONNECT lobby and the result card both. The capture is completely clean: no face-cam, no hand-cam, no watermark, no burned-in captions — every still below is unpatched. A second EVO 5 run, 스키마's title-tagged Perfect Dive, was scouted first and rejected: its persistent keyboard hand-cam overlay is exactly the patching this page avoids, so it is credited but contributed no stills.
• ▸The outcome, printed twice by the game: a FULL LINK banner over the hex void, then a settled DIVE RESULT card with the EX+ badge beside 099'594'783 — at or above the scoring guide's EX+ floor of 99,000,000, agreeing with the upload's own title tag. This is an EX+ Full Link clear, not a Perfect Dive: the card posts 4 NEAR alongside BREAK 0, and those four loose timings are the run's whole distance from perfect.
• ▸The note count does not close, and the page keeps the failure on the record: the card's four judgement rows — EXACT 463 + EXACT 26 + NEAR 4 + BREAK 0 — sum to 493, MAX LINK 493, and the highway's final counter prints 493; the catalog's EVO split (tap 143 + hold 135 + field 133 + flick 63) sums to 474. That is a nineteen-note gap between camera and catalog, quoted as measured, not fudged.
• ▸EVO 5 is the demo-confirmed middle of Cryogenic's ladder — the catalog records MIN 2 · EVO 5 · ULT 9 with no FBD row — and the camera agrees: an EVO 5 chip rides the song panel all run and a pink 5 sits on the jacket at the result. The dive ran at SPEED 3.50 into a Connected encounter: ENCOUNTER RESULT 000'154'528 with two of five star pips lit as displayed.

One video backs every still below: :paradox's [In Falsus Demo] Cryogenic [EVO 5] [EX+ / FULL LINK] (2:46 as downloaded, uploaded February 11, 2026, 1,432 views as of the 2026-10-06 page build) — a 1080p60 capture whose in-play panel reads Cryogenic, Camellia ft. Petra Gurin, an EVO 5 chip beside SPEED 3.50. 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 "stuck in a snow globe") — 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 portraits at the top edges and beside the result card are the game's own divers, NIA and FREYA, and the top-right edge belongs to the song panel), no hand-cam, no channel watermark, no burned-in captions anywhere in the 166 seconds, checked on a full-length contact sheet plus full-resolution corner crops at 30 s and 158 s before any still was cut. All thirteen stills are unpatched, zero delogo. Second source, credited but not cut: 스키마's Cryogenic EVO 5 Perfect Dive capture (410 views as of the 2026-10-06 scout), whose own contact sheet ends on a PERFECT DIVE banner — it would have been the stronger anchor, but its full-res corner crops show a keyboard hand-cam picture-in-picture riding the bottom-right corner throughout, exactly the 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 ad-hoc input-side seeks land off their targets on this container, so the second-to-frame mapping was calibrated with a decode-ordered pass (a showinfo PTS map of all 9,944 frames at 60 fps) and the cut seconds were spot-verified frame-accurate against the HUD before any still was kept. Frames extracted 2026-10-06.

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 EVO 5 is the middle rung of its demo-confirmed ladder, MIN 2 · EVO 5 · ULT 9, with no FBD row because the demo never shipped an FBD chart for it. This page's capture agrees with the ladder where the camera can check it: the EVO 5 chip rides the song panel from the CONNECT lobby to the last note, and the result card's jacket wears the 5.

The catalog's EVO split — tap 143 + hold 135 + field 133 + flick 63 — sums to 474. The camera's number is bigger: the result card's four judgement rows sum to 493 (EXACT 463 + EXACT 26 + NEAR 4 + BREAK 0), MAX LINK prints 493, and the highway's final counter reads 493 before the cut to the card. That is nineteen more notes judged on camera than the wiki split accounts for. The page quotes both numbers and claims neither as the other's; where the gap comes from, the screen does not say.

→ Cryogenic→ Cryogenic FBD→ Demo Guide→ Scoring & EX+

Thirteen frames from :paradox's EX+ Full Link clear, in video order — the CONNECT lobby, the staged highway, the first EXACT, the opening holds, the beam-and-pair patterns, the mid-chart hold stream, the violet sail wall, the dual-threat trapezoids, the endgame stream, the FULL LINK banner, the settled card. Timestamps deep-link into the video; they follow the decode-calibrated container timeline and can land a moment off on YouTube's player.

1. 1

   The CONNECT lobby: NIA versus FREYA

   Before any note falls, the upload shows its handshake: the CONNECT screen with NIA on the left rail, FREYA on the right, both HP rails full (140,625 / 225,000 against 127,600 / 158,500), and a five-card deck laid out across the middle — Nia: Path to Reality, Story: First Drop of Abyss, Mei: RAM, Ayame & Wraithcode: Seeking Others, Iris: Last Garden of Binds. The song panel already states the terms, Cryogenic EVO 5 at SPEED 3.50. Where vwv's FBD capture never named its opponent, this one names FREYA twice before the card does.

   

2. 2

   Highway staged: EVO 5 at SPEED 3.50

   The empty highway waits at 000'000'000 — lane keys Shift, A, S, D, F and Space along the keystones, the song panel top-right, the first notes already queued at the top of the chart. EVO 5 is the middle rung of Cryogenic's demo ladder: the wall density visible from this empty frame is already past MIN 2's, and the run will spend the next two and a half minutes paying it off.

   

3. 3

   The first EXACT at 001'011'689

   The HUD cracks away from zero and the first EXACT posts at the line over a gold hexagonal burst ringing the A and S keystones; the ENCOUNTER SCORE rail wakes at 75'223 with one star pip lit. From here the counter climbs toward 493 — every note of which will be judged by the end, four of them loosely.

   

4. 4

   The opening hold ribbon at 003'220'386

   A whole-lane hold ribbon runs down the center lanes with an EXACT posting at its base. Whole-lane holds are Cryogenic's signature demand at every level — the catalog's EVO split carries 135 hold notes against 143 taps — and EVO 5 introduces them early and without ceremony. Get comfortable pressing and releasing on the ribbon's schedule, not the note's.

   

5. 5

   Beam and pair at 010'442'671

   A yellow beam cuts across the top-left lanes while an EXACT pair posts right of center. The chart's first half alternates single sweeping beams with short two-note answers — nothing dense yet, but the beams already cross lanes that MIN 2 never asked you to watch. The faint counter across the highway is climbing through the fifties.

   

6. 6

   The mid-chart hold stream at 024'125'679

   A white-hot hold stream burns down the F lane with a gold burst at the keystones and an EXACT posting beside it. Past the intro, EVO 5 starts stacking holds under beam reads — one hand sustains while the other answers, and the burst payout at the keystones marks where the encounter damage flows if the hold breaks.

   

7. 7

   The violet sail wall at 034'178'654

   The chart's first full set piece: a tall violet sail wall fills the highway, its base dragging a spark trail along the judgement line. Walls like this one are EVO 5's price over MIN 2 — a full-width read where the answer is a single timed press, not a scramble. The ENCOUNTER SCORE rail reads 130'809 with two star pips as displayed.

   

8. 8

   Red beams under the trapezoid at 045'132'055

   Red beams rake the left edge beneath a violet trapezoid wall standing on the right. This is the chart's dual-threat grammar: a wall to time on one side while edge beams tax the lanes your eyes just left. EVO 5's mid-chart spends its density here — not in note count, but in making you split attention.

   

9. 9

   The yellow wedge and the hex ring at 059'087'635

   A yellow wedge slab slides down the left lanes with a gold hexagonal ring bursting on it, an EXACT posting at the line while the faint counter crosses 292. Past the chart's halfway mark the run is still perfect on the card's ledger — no BREAK has landed, and the four NEARs this run will own are still ahead of it.

   

10. 10

    The widest wall at 071'644'195

    The run's broadest read: a violet trapezoid wall drops across the full highway with an EXACT row posting beneath it. This is the last big set piece before the endgame — the wall the run had to have banked by now, because what follows gives no time to re-settle.

    

11. 11

    The endgame stream at 097'566'062

    The final stretch pours a dense violet stream down every lane, EXACTs stringing along the judgement line while the ENCOUNTER SCORE rail reads 149'384. These are the last notes the card will count — 493 of them in total, though neither the HUD nor the counter says so yet.

    

12. 12

    FULL LINK over the hex void

    The white-on-glass banner takes the screen: FULL LINK. The game prints it for a run that never dropped a note to BREAK — the link chain survived all 493. A Perfect Dive would print a different banner, and the four NEARs on the coming card are exactly the distance between this run and that one.

    

13. 13

    The result card: EX+ at 099'594'783

    The settled DIVE RESULT card holds everything the run claimed: SCORE 099'594'783 with the EX+ badge beside it — the scoring guide's EX+ floor sits at 99,000,000 and the badge agrees — over four rows reading EXACT 463, EXACT 26, NEAR 4, BREAK 0; MAX LINK 493; HIGH SCORE — with DIFFERENCE +099'594'783, the card's own arithmetic for a first cleared record; MISS HP 13 printed under the FULL LINK banner; the 5 on the jacket art; and ENCOUNTER RESULT 000'154'528 with the Connected chip and two star pips, NIA and FREYA signing the bottom rails. 463 + 26 + 4 + 0 = 493 — nineteen more than the catalog's 474, and the page leaves that gap standing.
