  • In SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom, grinding for shiny objects used to take a very long time to complete. Then, the discovery of skee-ball abuse changed the BFBB speedrunning scene forever. In this video, I explain the history of shiny object grinding and SBA, and how it affected the speedrun.

    • @UsaraDark
      @UsaraDark 4 года назад +65

      The problem wouldn't be fixing it, the problem would be trying to recreate it to even happen to begin with. The devs don't have the source code to BfBB, so it's very much possible that they just don't know how to make this happen. It's a similar issue with cruise boosting. Though it's been a while since I've followed rehydrated, so they could have made big leaps.

      Also, I'm hiding my constructive criticism in a stacked comment because, 1. I'm just a rando from the RUclipss, so my opinion on something I didn't create isn't that important, and 2. This was really well done.
      Now, I'm gonna stick around and follow you, whatever direction you take. I just hope that my words would help you, in any way.
      I would have appreciated delving just a tad bit more into the consistency issues with the setups. I've never done a speedrun of BfBB, so I would have loved to have a bit more detail on that.
      Secondly, having a more defined narrative would make it more compelling to watch your video all the way to the end. I don't know what that looks like, but there is something to the way Thomas Game Docs and summoningsalt structure their videos to keep people hooked.
      That's said, I subscribed to summoningsalt before he hit 15,000 subscribers. I've been with Thomas Game Docs since he had less than 40k. You, as well, have the unique marks of personality and style that indicate you have a solid foundation to build upon. While the aforementioned creators' work is grand, it had a starting point. The first two videos on summoningsalt's channel were pretty rough. But, by the time he hit video five, you can see how he began to hit his stride.
      I am certain you will find yours, and I look forward to being around to witness it.
