    I didn't play a lot of Balatro, but I never understood why a 1 in 4 chance of my glass card shattering meant that my card would shatter every single time, but a 1 in 4 chance of Wheel of Fortune buffing a joker meant that it would never ever buff the joker. So weird.

    you have to respect Cixah’s composure with those Plasma Deck runs, I would have lost it with that many bad seeds in a row on White Stake

    • @tobiasha93
      @tobiasha93 4 місяці тому +38

      And to this day there are people arguing every seed can be beaten especially on white stake. not even saying those were unbeatable by nature but it's ridiculous that even speedrunners struggle this much with the RNG.

    • @TwentySeventhLetter
      @TwentySeventhLetter 4 місяці тому +21

      People also talk about how easy Plasma is, but squared scaling doesn't prevent shit luck from happening, and as it turns out shit luck is the main source of failure in this game

  • @Notester82

    There's something kinda wild about the *first* Wheel of Fortune of the run not only hitting the 1 in 4, but also giving out a Polychrome...on Plasma Deck ;u;
    Bless you for your performance and efforts while the game was getting tricky, Cixah! This run was an exciting waaaaatch 💙

  • @ShaunYoung-u1w
    @ShaunYoung-u1w 4 місяці тому +56

    Cixah, I know in an ideal world you take the stage, crush it, set a WR, and everyone applauds.
    But things went horribly. And in a different kind of way, that was almost as entertaining and fun to watch. Like, how much worse can the RNG get?
    This was wildly entertaining and I had a great time watching this.
    And isn't that what matters? That people enjoyed the run?

  • @LWmusik
    @LWmusik 4 місяці тому +29

    Did not expect plasma to be popular with speedrunners, the range of viable strategies with plasma is really small

    • @gophermanX
      @gophermanX 4 місяці тому +20

      It's theoretically the fastest if you can get those strategies though. Great for when you're just trying to get the best possible run and can reset as much as you want but maybe not ideal for a gdq run.

    • @gnostechnician
      @gnostechnician 4 місяці тому +4

      In general, in non-marathon settings, speedrunners are more okay with inconsistency the earlier it comes in a run. If it only has a 1 in 100 chance of happening but failures can be reset within 30 seconds, well... okay resetting runs for almost an hour before you get a viable run still sounds kinda awful now that I say it. But regardless! When you do it right at the start, you've got nothing to lose. When you do it further into the run, you have the pressure of an already good run and the promise of, if you fail, having to get all the way back to that point in the run before you can try again.

  • @kevintian7151
    @kevintian7151 4 місяці тому +20

    I don’t understand why the runner ever skips picking jokers from packs. You can just sell them for some free money worst case.
    Similarly for packs of 2 jokers if you only have one slot left, you can buy and sell a joker, then take the one you actually want.
    Just a small optimization that maybe helps in some corner cases 😅 really fun watch!

    • @FatTonyBBX
      @FatTonyBBX 4 місяці тому +13

      I'm most surprised by ditching the square when he'd already built it up a decent amount. In just a few rounds it would have been by *far* the most effective joker. Scrapping the Square and keeping the banana was unbelievable, he was digging for +60 with Scary Face and face cards when he could have been earning that in no time at all for free.
      When he pulled Constellation and talked briefly about how useful it is to have a card that scales over time I could just imagine the poor Square glaring at him from the trashcan.

    • @S_raB
      @S_raB 27 днів тому

      Cost is way more than sell value. Business card is 1 in 2 chance to give $1 per scored face card, which is not helping scoring at all.

      @whgeek 4 місяці тому +10

      I'm guessing they counted that one as done when they made the choice to skip past it. Probably a pre arranged backup plan in case he got terrible RNG, so they wouldnt be resetting plasma decks for the rest of SGDQ

      Patch 1.0.1f had the square square joker (seen at 22:20) and the Banana odds change, so they probably just said the wrong number. Edit: 24:45 Yeah, they said the right number this time.

    • @erakfishfishfish
      @erakfishfishfish 4 місяці тому +3

      Beat the game three times in a row, each with a different deck, and not skipping any blinds. (So basically, he has to beat 24 blinds per deck.)

  • @atticus725
    @atticus725 4 місяці тому

    As a casual Balatro player - just curious. For the purposes of beating the game quickly, I can’t understand why sometimes he’ll play a larger hand to score more to finish the blind - when a single high card play would have been enough. It seems like using up extra seconds to play the larger hand?

    • @natsareth
      @natsareth 3 місяці тому +3

      It could be a multitude of reasons. One could be to thwart the boss blind that resets your money by playing the most played hand. So, you do not want to dig a hole for yourself by being dependent on one type of hand. Another reason, which plays into the earlier reason, perhaps you aim for the counter of plays to go up for when the planet voucher arrives. That way you can guarantee planets that help future plays. Yes, I might play high cards now and get away with it, but I want to switch to flushes due to the aggregate chip counts (whatever right), but I do not want the planet voucher to be too biased towards the high card or maybe a pair. Does this make sense?
