i want them to measure the g forces on the vehicles and have a rating for "occupant survivability" in the game, so you can see a results screen like: "Congrats! Bridge price: 900$, survivability: EXTREMELY FATAL, 70Gs PEAK FORCE"
That's not that bad, just the average gravity of *Jupitor* for a split second.
That's about $13 per G, so budget for just 1G, problem solved and this is tied with TAS
That'd be made to intentionally troll budgeters. I approve greatly.
@@lordpumpkinhead265 I mean as long as you can still "pass" the levels even if it's incredibly fatal, then it's actually a really good idea. Since then there'd just be an extra category for budgeting. You'd have the ones that focus on the lowest possible cost and the ones that focus on lowest cost while the driver is alive.
@@josephjoestar953 this is basically what I mean, the survivability wouldn't technically "matter" for winning the level, but it could be another factor to strive for in a completion
"Anybody can design a bridge that stands. But to design a bridge that barely stands, it takes an engineer."
Brain went straight to RealCivilEngineer
Takes an architect
@@popejoeii No, no, an architect makes structures that look fancy and don't stand, engineers fix their crap to barely stand XD
Brave definition of standing there
You know this game is taken over by Americans because every bridge design became a gun 😂
@@popejoeiithink of architects as artist engineers spend the entire day calculating how thin a beam can be without breaking
It is absolutely hilarious to me that in a game about building bridges, the competitive strives to do the complete opposite
Speed Running is the same for most games. They take a game about playing it, and they ignore many of the features that makes that game that game.
@@SioxerNikitatrue
Tho in their defense they dont take anything away from the game they just made the codes work extra time XD
@@Deniswizard Point is just, most speed running ignores what the game is really about.
Free market capitalism boosts competition mfers when i show them a bridge built for 1% of their budget
@@SioxerNikita yeah i get the point
hope you a nice day (or night) XD
i can't believe how people completed levels like that, some people are just way too patient
OK PLATFORM
thankfully ppl made mods for speeding up the game to even faster speeds
some still take forever :v
Kinda like people who have the patients to create a tas run. It's crazy
its just a different thought process. cod players are separated by their mindset of either just play and shoot or pay attention to sounds, open doors, etc.
Well these engineers (ex:RealCivleEngineer) are engi-here
I would recommend using thicker lines and slightly darker colors for the graphs 👍 This way they could be clearly made out on mobile!
also slight nitpick but neon green on lilac is, uh. not really readable at all. still a fantastic video though!
0:38 Ayo that's me!
Some additional notes:
-In the sequel, Poly Bridge 3, they tried to remove dangling roads by reducing their tensile strength. This didn't affect banana bridges, however, and people also figured out a different way to make dangling roads anyways
-Almost everyone mentioned in this video is still active in the game and in the discord
-Every glitch shown in this video requires roads to break, so the Unbreaking leaderboard is a lot more normal. There are a few rare levels that do have glitches, and more than a few that have dangling roads, but most are indeed just solid bridges
-A lot of designs shown in this video are also speedrun strategies:
--The torque cannon shown at 5:23 (level 1-01), as there is an easy on-grid solution!
--The swing shown at 7:25 (level 2-09) is almost identical :>
--The torque cannon shown at 7:34 (level 1-06) is what we use as well
--The flip cannon at 7:45 (level 6-03), although getting it on-grid required a few seemingly random pieces, to jiggle it just right
--The stuck falling road at 12:06 (level 5-01) is similar to the speedrun, although the speedrun gets significantly less cool factor
no way it's the popular terraria speedrunning mod icysnowman
glad to see we're in the same algorithm
@@lazorical584 Lmfao you're a poly bridger too? I never woulda guessed! :>
@@Icysnowman256 no but i like funny statistic for brig game
Thanks for the cool info :), now I want a voiced speedrun lol
Ok, but what the hell is that strategy they talked about that's literally just called "the"?
First video? Holy crap this is huge potential. Underrated tbh.
Thank you!
@@Y2J-RUclipsChannel explosion in 3...2...1... just keep up the good work.
wait really? i thought that this channel had a few years idk
@@Y2J-RUclips cool video
Nope, it was a fluke, sadly. Look at the rest of the channel's numbers
God damnit, our city recently replaced our bridge with a giant spring launcher to save money. I'd usually approve of this but my taxes are still the same
But finally no more cyclist
Neat video!
One detail that I think may be missed by the average viewer is the point system being shown here to score players overall is a competitive scoring system. That means it is not directly dependent on how low your budget is but how well you rank in relationship to other players.
This is why we see player's trend lines move upwards despite them achieving lower and lower budgets or changing their bridges at all. You can see this in the graph when one player's score goes down significantly, the other players scores go up because their scores are impacted by person that passed them.
Pretty sure he mentioned that multiple times.
he mentioned that in the video

Fun fact: dangling roads do actually exist irl and function pretty similarly to in-game
Where does it exist, i WANT to see it

We need this information!
It was part of an aliensrock video

Seems dangerous

As it was said in the beginning of the video. IRL there's no such thing as "budget" when you're talking about stolen, I mean, taxpayer money.
Really exceptional work, especially for a first video what the heck. Love the format. Great job to everyone in the PB community pushing and discovering so many cool things
Personally, my favorite part of the video was the music, but thanks so much for the kind words!
Yeah, he's sure exceptional to talk about video game bridges.
@@UltimatePerfection Mate, everything you talk about nobody cares about anyway, so I don't really know if you're in the right place to judge.

Boy do I have news for you...
There's 2 of us
@@Y2J-RUclipsLOL I was confused at first because your voices sounded kinda similar, but I eventually figured it out
@@Y2J-RUclips You mean people using hacks to get costs way below possible!
@@Y2J-RUclipsI think it was used way too often, it got annoying halfway through the video. It's probably the same thing people hate about family guy cutaways. The bit at the end was good though.
@@Y2J-RUclips It might be useful to have an image or profile picture or something pop up to help differentiate between who's talking. Got a little confusing at times, but otherwise great video :)
I think I'll avoid driving on bridges in the future after seeing these.
Yeah, that's probably a good call
Yeah, just make sure you bring about 200 lb of wood planks to drop onto your car and you should be fine
Good thing you dont even have to drive for well over half of these "bridges"! Get in the car and lets die together.
In the future you wont be driving in bridges, the bridges will be driving through you.
That "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" montage was gold
did i just watch a guy talk to himself for 16 minutes
Welcome to youtube!
There is (supposedly) 2 guyd
Yes, and you're doing it again
I will never get tired of watching vehicles getting launched across the map like that
Some of the highlights were multi launch, super fast launch, backwards launch, launch to ballon and drive of, crazy launch into bounce back and super long launch
bro the self reflection about tropes in speedrunning/community pushing the game to its limit is so clever and refreshing, really well done
0:28 bro what is this Music? Can someone please tell me
I found it it is called "we're finally landing"
watch summoning salt bro
It's "We're Finally Landing" by HOME. HOME has been one of my favorite artists since I was a little kid.
I like the video. It's a great mixture of a bit of analysis with flashy showmanship, neither of them overdone to be too boring or too frenetic. Polybridge has always been fun to watch, especially the wildly creative solutions people find, even if I personally am inclined towards a much more... well, subdued style of bridge. Looking forward to the next one.
Honestly assumed you had thousands of subs with a long running channel. Then I came to the comments and realized this is your first video. Keep up up the great work!
This brought back memories for me and Im only 21 lol, my construction class in highschool, my teacher had us playing this game as we learned about the different forces bridges take and the concept of them being structurally sound, sadly I forgot a lot from that class (and wasn't the best student) but I'll always remember the effort you gave forth Mr Burris.
The summoning salt part is golden! Awesome channel if you love the history of speed running.
I play poly bridge 2 on my phone, and I haven't seen leader boards. I know on PC you get leader boards.
Yeah summoning salt is incredible. We wanted to pay homage somehow. If you join the poly bridge discord there's a Leaderboard bot there that you can use to see how your score would stack up against the PC leaderboards
@@Y2J-RUclips I say you guys did a great job 👍
Wow! I had no idea you could do that. I will say I just aim for under budget and no breaks, so my scores won't be that great.
i thought that this channel would have at least 5k subs so when i checked and saw ONLY 95 i was shocked at how good this video was, great job
96 now because how could I not sub!
Dude this video is two weeks old and was his first vid and it has 300k views and got him over 1k subs
Yeah bro. Like wtf this is his FIRST VIDEO.
this video definitely has that "first video" feel to it, you can tell that Y2J hasn't made any yt videos before this and is throwing stuff on the wall to see what sticks, i do like what he did with the "hall of the mountain king" parts, in which the first part seemed like a continuation of the annoying thing that he did where he'd assume what the audience is saying along with the equally cliffhanger at the end which feels very rushed.
good video 6.5/10 kept me engaged throughout the whole thing, interesting topic, the script could be more polished (ex:explaining the techniques) along with better jokes (or less jokes depending on whether Y2J wants to be more casual/goofy or more serious and dry).
at the end of the day, for a first video, this was absolutely amazing, remember to only make content YOU want, even if others complain (which isn't the same as constructive criticism) because people love to complain.
This is possibly the funniest thing I have watched for the last couple of months.
There is just something hilarious about watching a semi getting launched by a guillotine at Mach 5.
P.s. love the banter, keep it up
Their voices are so similar that I thought it was one guy talking to himself until they talked over each other at the end
The technical contraptions are always way more interesting than stuck roads
i LOVE how much your format reminds me of "how to turn a sphere inside out" with the 2 voices learning/teaching a subject with that slight hint of comedic hostality
outside of that video ive never watched a video done like this.
Here is why dangling road works.
Because if they are straight, they break. When you make an arch, it will support itself.
Hey this was a cool video, and a good summary.
If you care about some constructive critisism here is mine: You two bounce off each other pretty well but your voices are pretty similar so in the beginning I didnt get right away that you where two people, maybe there is a way to make it a bit more clear who is talking by having a specific border for each person or something like this.
Also the "THE" joke draged out a little long for my liking and I think you did not explain what "THE" is.
All in all a very good video and I am looking forward to your next one :)
Oh my god I thought it was one person doing the self criticism thing and made it really feel unconfident and unpleasant, makes much more sense now
Wait there were two people?
The win condition is get from point a to point b. Never said it needed to be a bridge. So you could just... shave off some unesecary expenses for reusability and accessibility
Lmao i remember aliensrock tried to topscore a level for 2 days and when he uploaded the video Eunice reclaimed its first place in 2 hours
Hey! Thanks for checking out our first video. We'll be streaming on Twitch starting this Saturday, so give us a follow and feel free to subscribe if you want more PB and variety content.
Any suggestions you make below will be promptly deleted because this is a perfect video with absolutely no flaws, but feel free to scream them into the void should you prefer to.
I feel like it'd make sense to track the total budget over all the levels, as well as the rank on the leaderboard. Because if you're already in first, there's no point in trying to improve your design even more. And your score isn't affected by how well other people do, just your own skills.
total budget has the obvious issue that most levels are designed with very different budgets in mind, which can make scores fluctuate a lot and makes it hard to be sure
@@Sopsy_Hallow then maybe percentage of budget for each level combined?
@@Sopsy_Hallow Makes it hard to be sure of what? Give everyone the maximum budget for each level until they register a score, then the total spent only ever goes down. Some levels are worth more because they're easier to score lower on, but according to this video, the best players are the best at all the levels anyway.
Your scriptwriting is impeccable. Truly one of THE
The algorithm has blessed me, fantastic job for a first video! Subscribed
10:26 literally the funniest time lapse I have ever seen. I don't know I needed a load of vehicles going mach Jesus in a bridge building game to the tune of in the hall of the mountain king, but I am here for it
I like the meta commentary. Great vid, made me laugh.
If possible, I would love more detail into how exploits actually work on a technical level.
Yeah, I want to hear more about the.
Bro, with video quality like this, you're sure to go places. Easy sub from me
"The road jiggle" looks about as mad as my "understrung" bridges of Bridge Constructor 3D. There's a little bit more to an understrung bridge -- a cable and some very short supports, but it's insanely cheap, it jiggles and it somehow survives crazy loads too. Ah, the banana bridge is closer, though in BC3D my roads could be flat (until driven over). I didn't realise PB2 needed some extra angles or I would have been making them all along.
4:23 reminds me of a BC3D level where I won a level because the burnt and shattered remains of the fuel tanker were launched into the air by their own explosion and landed on the flag! :D In BC3D, you always have to have all vehicles reach the one flag. In the fuel tanker's case, that's the tractor and semitrailer. They both landed in the right place after separating in the explosion.
I didn't know about the leaderboards; I guess you don't see them on mobile? Anyway, having worked so hard to make unbreaking bridges, I'm a leetle bit miffed by things which rely on parts breaking. But only a leetle bit.
That second Mountain King montage was awesome! :D
If score is relative then the actual budget doesn't matter so it's very hard to realize the progress being made. The ranks could remain the same with only being around 50% of budget or 150% of the budget. Do they not think it's strange? When you showed the average % of budget it was much more intuitive to understand the progress being made.
that transition from the summoning salt song to the poly bridge soundtrack was perfect
I'm certain this was done out of a passion for this specific game. But the script writing and editing/audio quality was fantastic.
I hope you continue to make videos with this quality and passion. Definitely earned a sub
If you could animate or even label (by label I mean the timelines) the graphs more clearly it would add a lot of clarity in my opinion!
Precision dropped bridges are an example of why I prefer to stick to the condition of the bridge not breaking.
I wonder how a graph of each players total budget ($ spent added up for each level) would look like
wow! Mountain King remembered me of line rider! Amazing editing!!
great job ! keep going !
0:26 when HOME comes on you know it's gonna be a BANGER vid
Ye it was a pain getting top 1 glitchless. But still i managed to get top 1 spot with Somefakegamer in level B1-04
Everyone there is a very skilled Budgeter :) Its just hard to compete with glitches
Yooo its my homegrounds! Awesome video! My most memorable memory is when the community came together to sfr the level 'Fly Over' to force youtuber Aliensrock to also sfr for 1% lb. I think this was one of the pivotal moments leading up to the patch of sfr.
Video and content are good, but the meta commentary of yourself and the video took me out. It would have stood fine on it's own without that. Other than that, good job!
I'm glad you included your intrusive thoughts in this video , very immersive
imagine finishing school, getting on the bus, then seeing a piece of road falling onto the hood right before you shoot forward at mach 10
10:08 i had to go back a few times because i just kept laughing and wasnt listening to the part after you said "as cool as the is"
Optimization in this game is architectural slapstick comedy.
the world needs more hall of the mountain king montages
The health and safety inspector having a fit upon seeing the proposals for these bridges
That was the best self-promo I’ve ever seen.
0:43 That music transition was clean af
~ 2:00 The strength of any given material is usually calculated by a few things.
One, how easily can it bend?
Two, how much can it bend without sustaining permanent damage?
And three, if it can shatter, how much permanent damage can it sustain before shattering?
The roads might be hard to bend, but their attachment points aren't. If the roads were tied tightly between both sides of the bridge, the roads themselves would have had to hold up all the weight of the vehicle. However, because the roads can move freely to some extent, like a rope bridge, much of the force that would break the roads instead moves the roads. You can see this as the bridge bending instead of breaking.
At least, that's what I got from it.
When "We're finally landing" started playing I cackled. I got Home'd
1:36 It's the same as on Bridge constructor. Every joint of the bridge is allowed to flex very slightly (except concrete in BCon.) The allows most parts to move around, otherwise the physics engine wouldn't work. This means if you have many many joints, with parts as short as possible, that flexion can take up a lot of slack.
A bridge with no supports, made of 1m long pieces of road almost like a rope bridge will not break. Steel road pieces require a higher stress/load measurement before their joint(s) fail. It's possible to get some very budget bridges with just this technique. Now, the weight of the pieces themselves add to and hard caps the limit of that strategy. Wood has a very limited stretch load max compared to steel too so sometimes some of the bridges are genuinely better to make with wood and conventional means.
That same abuse of the stretching of joints on the physics engine makes flexible bridges with an underslung set of cables (As you called the banana bridge) (which ofc. have the highest stretch load max and a lighter mass) possible and highly effective. Even vs the trucks.
The only issues arise when the cars or trucks can't get enough traction to climb the other side.
The same design/limitations of the physics engine are in Poly bridge. The sections/parts do not flex, their joints slide around a little like springs. It doesn't react identically with BCon.'s engine but it's the same underlying engine process.
A summoning salt video is literally the next recommended video for me
The heavy plagiarism on summoning salt is not bad in my opinion. You clearly dont steal his style as much as its hommage. I liked it
The summoningsalt speedrunning music kills me every time
"Ok family, get ready to cross the bridge"
"WHAAAAAAA..."
I'm sorry... Did you just resolve We're Finally Landing with the first chord of Reconstruction!???? That's freaking insane. It works so well... That's awesome.
I was not expecting that this is your first video, good job
Hearing "We're finally landing" start playing was a very strange experience for me.
Imaging going to and from work every single day with "bridges" like these.
there was MALICE in this dudes voice at the beginning lol
I feel a deep and bellowing rage when i hear HOME and speedrunning within the same sentence
Watching this video, I had only two modes:
1. "What in the f***..."
2. Weird noises and laughing
when ever I here the summoning salt music, you know it’s a good video.
that outro had be hallucinate in the 29th dimension 😋
I especially like how era 5 is just
“Drop a JDAM on it.”
This is awesome! I'm really impressed with how you've collated the globaltop scores and put them into such a nice graph
the 2 commentators butting heads throughout worked very well, great vid
Speedrunners and people like these just BLOW MY MIND... they are amazing.
Why are the flying cars so funny HELP😭
Man, I sure love these ""bridges""
Bro the summoning salt music got me Lmfaoooo
Dude is the Wirtual of Polybridge
Teacher: "The test isn't that confusing."
The test:
No drivers or passengers were harmed in the making of this video. Laws of physics, absolutely.
as soon as i hear that intro noise i know its gonna be a banger
I always thought they needed a way for bridges to be progressively challenged by heavier and heavier loads. You get a budget, and the goal should be to build the bridge that holds up the best within the range of tests it is slated for for the best budget.
You could also make lists that take into account vehicle durability.
The summoning salt music set me like concrete I have to watch when I hear that
this gives me og wirtual vibes and I’m all for it!
Gimme a bit i just found this, i gotta binge the channel real quick
The moment you whipped out the summoning salt music and approach I knew this would be amazing. Keep it up man!
Tonight I randomly discovered a corner of the video game world I never thought existed
I love how the summoning salt music is a meme
Only 5.5k subs is criminal, not only did you save any and all promo til the end but you also had hilarious jokes sprinkled in, you’ll go far if you keep this format ,subbed.
while showing scores that go up and down based on ranking is a good metric esp for determining how good you are relative to other players, id also be interested in seeing total money used as a metric
