Hanabi FBD 11: a PERFECT DIVE with a triple closure

The gate: the cold-open, the field, the first note

1. 1

   Read the cold-open before the run starts

   The upload's very first second is not the chart's first second: Hanabi FBD 11 opens mid-run at 035'744'589 with the watermark at 481 — a deliberate flash-forward. The pinned card in the top right carries the run's contract, Hanabi / Snail's House / FBD 11 / SPEED 5.00, before a hexagon wipe and a black frame hand over to the real beginning. Nothing else about the setup is shown: no song select, no deck screen.

   

2. 2

   Meet the field while the score still reads zero

   By t=3 the run proper begins: six empty lanes at 000'000'000 under Hanabi's own scenery — firework bursts, red flower hexagons and lantern strings along the rails. FORBIDDEN is the tier above ULTIMATE, and its charts are where the game stacks its densest mixes; over the next 153 seconds this highway carries 1344 notes, the heaviest load of the song's four charts.

   

3. 3

   Take the first EXACT and wake the watermark

   The first notes land by t=8: 000'021'868 on the counter, the watermark at 2, and a gold hexagonal ring already waiting on a lane — the head of a hold, the shape this chart trades in more than any other Hanabi chart does. One frame-visible aside: the key labels print in the recording machine's own layout — English Shift, A S D F, Space — unlike the German rails on TrappyTheDemon's ULT film of this same song.

   

The opening: full-width beams

1. 4

   Let the opening beams cross the whole lane

   At 009'396'893 two beams span the highway wall to wall while an EXACT EXACT row scores at the line. Wide shapes pay at their foot and punish re-gripping: park a flat hand across the lanes, read each beam's color for its lanes, and let it pass. The community wiki credits this chart to Dex — every other Hanabi rung to sorae — and the opening's width is the first hint of a different hand.

   

2. 5

   Track the watermark while the beam rides center

   At 029'175'045 a violet beam rides the center lanes with the watermark at 393. From here the chart keeps its books in public: with NEAR and BREAK still at zero, every linked note is a counted note, so the watermark IS the running total — 393 of 1344 at t=50, on a pace that ends the film at the exact wiki figure.

   

The middle: flicks, holds, stacked beams

1. 6

   Answer the flick burst with short, late reads

   At 043'551'429 green flick arrows sweep in across three lanes. Flicks are this chart's smallest channel — the wiki counts 134 of 1344, about one note in ten — but they cluster, and a cluster at speed is where scrolls get misread. Flick on the arrow's tail rather than its head, and keep the wrist loose for the holds that follow them here.

   

2. 7

   Bench the mid-chart at 715 linked

   At 053'182'557 the watermark reads 715 — 53% of the chart, with the film's own clock at almost the same mark. Treat the frame as a benchmark: EXACT EXACT under a beam, a cyan hold bar low on the lanes, a gold hex waiting. If your own run still links everything here, the back half asks mainly for endurance — this film never gives a single note back.

   

3. 8

   Read the stacked beams in the hold-dense middle

   At 065'344'759 cyan and pink beams pour down neighboring lanes at once. This is the wiki's split made visible: 442 holds and 476 fields give FBD 11 a 68% hold-and-field mix against ULT 9's 45% — wide, sustained shapes held for beats rather than clicked. The mid-section is where that difference stops being a table and starts being a forearm.

   

The close: the last holds, the banner, the card

1. 9

   Clear the last holds before the banner

   At 099'256'844 the watermark stands at 1334 — ten notes from the end — and a gold hold hex waits under a violet beam. The closing seconds of a FORBIDDEN chart are where celebrations cost BREAKs; the film takes the final shapes at exactly the pace it took the first, and the score crosses into 100'001'337 as the last note lands.

   

2. 10

   PERFECT DIVE: the banner that ends the argument

   At t=158 the PERFECT DIVE banner spans the screen over a dimmed hexagon grid. The game prints it only when every note lands EXACT — no NEAR, no BREAK — which the card confirms in numbers two seconds later. It is both a grade and this page's evidence tag: everything the watermark counted, it counted clean.

   

3. 11

   Catch 1344 standing on the empty field

   After the banner the field empties and the HUD freezes at 100'001'337 — with the watermark still standing at 1344. That one number is the quiet fourth proof: the chain, judged note by note, ends at exactly the count the wiki publishes for this chart. Cards can be misread at low resolution; a watermark parked on an empty highway is hard to argue with.

   

4. 12

   Read the card: the split, the sum, the closure

   The settled DIVE RESULT card carries every number this page quotes: SCORE 100'001'337 over HIGH SCORE 099'629'302 and DIFFERENCE +000'372'035 — which close exactly — then EXACT 1337 + 7, NEAR 0, BREAK 0, MAX LINK 1344, and EX+ where the ULT film's rank box never lit. The IOTA row prints ENCOUNTER UNLINKED, this film's one assist disclosure: none. The uploader's own title says (MAX-7) — the second EXACT row, advertised.
