My way to discern a good rougelike or not is if there's a way to suicide the run, so thank you for showing that Balatro is in fact a good rougelike
Actually a good point.
Binding of Isaac, Balatro, Luck be a Landlord... Those are all I can think of right now
What roguelike doesnt have a way to suicide?

"Idol is gonna be what gets us far"
Idol literally doing nothing:
(I fully know cat was the point of the run I was making a joke about how idol didn't proc even once)
Skootle makes the most questionable decisions in this game I’ve ever seen, dude relied on a joker that chooses a random suit and rank giving x2 mult when he has all of 1 card. Actual brain rot
@@Yamayeehaw Idol chooses based off of the cards in your deck, so the majority of the time it would choose king of hearts since that was most of the cards in his deck. Bloodstone was still better while he had the all 6's though anyways.
idol picks from any card you currently have in the deck. but MUST cycle unless there's only one card type was the idea. it was just so hard to remove anything not a king. good idea, but just couldn't be executed is all.@@Yamayeehaw
@@Yamayeehawcalm your tits. Idol chooses from cards in your deck, skootie's long term plan was to obviously make his entire deck king of hearts
And then every card played gives x2 mult. It's not that hard to understand, stop acting like an ass for things you don't know about
@@weeabootakuchan3431
bloodstone was hilariously better than cat when he rolled brainstorm... and he genuinely thought about getting rid of bloodstone
genuinely, if he kept idol and bloodstone, dumped cat and grabbed brainstorm, the deck would've been in the free and clear for quite some time.
bloodstone/idol trigger on score. red seal scores +1. sock and buskin scores +1.
3 instances of score, x2 each. each card x2^3 = x8. each hand x8^5 = x32768.
... and that's just either stone or idol. both would give you x1160290625 mult... which is 35409 times more mult than either of the two alone. cat would take fucking AGES to hit x35409, let alone x100.
in fact, at 7/7, you'd have to get rid of sock and buskin (assuming oops is staying no matter what) for blueprint or brainstorm... which would leave you at the exact same endpoint as if you hadn't done that. {per card} w/(2x2x2)x(2x2x2) = w/o(2x2)x(2x2)x(2x2)
the choice was obvious, but meme cat lucky funny haha
also... homie would've gotten WAY more score if he focused a little more on getting chip jokers/enhancements, like scaryface instead of cat
Setting your hand size to 0 is like activating the Essence Guillotine in Luck Be A Landlord haha
Yeah learned this the hard way
Because it gets brought up in his chat a lot, 2x is fantastic for the videos, perfect pace for watching, 4x can be a bit much sometimes especially if you’re doing something else while watching
After he mentioned just watching the video on 2x I went to 1.5x and that sated my thirst for speed. Was almost unbearable for my add brain before
@@nathansadlier8025 just fucking watch things how they're made weirdo
I finally bought Balatro.
I've watched nearly all of NorthernLion's videos on it, & I found your channel via Balatro about a week ago.
According to Steam I played for 12.3 hours straight.
It is now nearing 4am & I'll likely have this on in the background as I fall asleep.
Balatro is Love. Balatro is Life.
For me, in order to keep myself alive, I just play until I win and don't go to endless mode.
Still takes 2-3 hours but better to go slow and enjoy the game slowly
True gambler, amen, brother, the grind never stops 🙏🙏🙏
@@shroomer3867 So far I've only managed to go endless 3 times, but that's probably because I was trying to beat the different stakes & decks rather than trying to get endless as much as possible.
He's insane for taking Idol over DNA when he only had like 5 red seals total
I mean he could still death and cryptid to get more, and once he destroys everything else tiki goes insane
@@Makowako_ does Tiki only select from cards that are in your deck? In that case I'm retracting my statement, I thought it worked like Ancient where it was random and could select cards/suits that weren't in your deck.
@@kobold_sushi_executive_chef tiki only selects from whats in your deck
Thanks for being considerate of new players (and those with insanely short attention spans), really cool of you. 👊🏼
It gives me anxiety how long he stares at that ankh every time
lmao same
It gives me anxiety that you haven't called it ankhxiety 😢
I was thinking the same thing! 😂
fun fact; I hit this seed naturally with a different deck, or at least a very similar seed. Inivis joker in the first shop, Double all 6s by ante 3, with a baseball card and lucky cat by ante 6
Can we get a seed code?
@@iW4FFL3ZSeed code is shown on the end screen after bearing Ante 8
REVYYUVR
@@iW4FFL3Z if only dev could implement history :(
I wish. As the other reply said, we'd need a history for it. I didn't think of it at the time so I don't have the seed.@@iW4FFL3Z
Daam you know the run is crazy when mf has to ask if bean is better than brainstorm 💀
brainstorm having a posability of not being the right pick is a level that I thought couldn't be achieved
Dude the fact that you got rid of all these amazing jokers just to keep idol around is fucking insane
it almost put me in a rage
He knew adding X2 mult to your retriggered cards is what gets you into the e's. I think he underestimated how easy it would be to get bloodstone.
Well if all you have is a single card and rank then idol is really good.
@@priyanshugoel3030 especially with retriggers.
Definitely one you need to revisit after unlocking blank voucher
The cat was by far the worst card in the pile, which is kind of insane. Bloodstone with all the retriggers was insanely exponential, while cat was struggling to get to even 2^6.
i don't even know why he kept it tbh
4 in 7 cards are drawn facedown 😅
For anyone asking for the seed, it shows at the game-over screen
Also in the beginning above skootie's head I believe
I'm a brand new subscriber. I didn't even notice the dog until 52:27. Awesome run btw :3
skoottie's dog?? His name is Triscuit and he's a corgi :3
I do indeed watch your videos on 2x. Except I watch everyone on 2x as well, I just happen to also watch all your content
Good to know about the hand size... you did it for science!
I love that ending. Went out on your own terms.
1:13:33 I think he has to sell lucky cat, buy brainstorm, make brainstorm copy bloodstone and make blueprint copy brainstorm, that would give him x512 instead of the lucky cat that gives him about x50-60
the lucky cat was the point of the video
I swear the cat is real, timmy told me and his parents are lawyers, he wouldn't lie
Ok now hear me out, rerun seed, but make the dice negative lol
changes nothing, infact much worse, ankh doesn't copy negative
The ending was perfect 😂
I love watching the really good jokers go to waste while idol sits there and looks pretty
Ok but why the hell does the twitch chat want to get rid of a dice so much? It's literally the 2 most important jokers in this whole run
2x dice is insane, the weak link through the whole run is actually The cat
While bloodstone was a like... 1000x or more, cat was just.. x20
As sad as it is: Cat is holding you back a lot
Also people saying blueprint on buskin is better than on bloodstone is just dum
With 4 kings and blueprint on bloodstone gave 2.7e14
With _5 kings_ and blueprint on buskin gave 1.4e14
1 more card, and _still less score_
Just for some fun context, when Bloodstone was sold, it was a 2^15x multiplier. For those keeping track at home, thats just over 32000x
That's the most insane run I've seen. The potential for so much to be so gamebreaking
I looked through the game's code and it looks like Cavendish is the only card that is added to the pool based on some attribute of the run, minus challenges. So lucky cat can show up whenever unless I missed something
I can swear to god I met lucky cat with no lucky cards 8n the deck
him not selling the idol is making me rage
It’s a good card to be fair
Why? It's one of the best cards in the game. If he kept it in the hand and got rid of the kitty or the dice he would have made it much further.
loved the ending
Started playing this about a week ago and i feel completely lost after watching this. I have a lot to learn.
Buying Blank is still required in seeded runs because Antimatter is considered an upgrade to Blank (similar to Crystal Ball > Omen or Grabber > Nacho Tong)
I think the funny thing about the play at 42:00 is that if invis joker can only hit the earliest or latest bought jokers then if you get rid of a oops all 6 then invis joker either becomes heartstone or oops all 6 1 scenario that’s effectively the same as what he chose and another scenario that gives him 2 heart stones that have 2/3 chance to trigger, imo a better option
But less dice also means less buffs to lucky cat, which was basically the whole point of the run to begin with
@@redinator5 doesn’t matter in the end he sold the dice even tho lucky cat was not and would never get to the multiple of blood stone so that point doesn’t really matter he forsaken the point of the runner the end
you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become madness joker. you ended the run on your own terms.
Mistake in Joker order, Skoottie used both copy effects the Bloodstone, so with a S&B he had 2 triggers * 3 Bloodstones = 6 Bloodstone triggers per card. If he had used one copy effect on a S&B instead, he would get 3 triggers * 2 Bloodstones = same 6 Bloodstone triggers, but an extra trigger of Lucky for more Mult, money and Cat scaling.
I've been thinking about this for a while. Why isn't there a spectral card that applies eternal to a selected joker? Ik that eternal can be bad, but there are many times it could be amazing. If the downside of the eternal is too punishing for the player, maybe add a positive to it, like a hand size up? Idk, but i think this would be awesome. Let me know what you guys think about this.
Probably bc eternal isn't a thing in lower stakes
At the 50x u should replace the dice jokers because the increase in the lucky cat has minimum impact in the scoring
The oops all 6's wasn't for the lucky cat, it was for the bloodstone late game. 2/3 vs 4/3
Replacing the 2nd dice joker was a mistake at the end, 2/3 bloodstone vs 4/3 bloodstone is nuts. He was just keeping the cat for the memes even though it was the worst joker he had since bloodstone with all the retriggers and being guaranteed to proc gives the most points. On top of that both dice jokers were polychrome and the cat wasn't. that 1.5x mult happens after all the bloodstone triggers so it's enormous and feeds the 2nd dice polychrome and driver's license multipliers. The biggest shame about this run is negative hitting drivers license though since it's just a flat 3x, if it hits cat instead it can keep the run going a lot longer.
@@dark_rit Yeah I think he didn't realize how bad 2/3 was compared to guaranteed bloodstone. With guaranteed bloodstone, sock and buskin, and red seal on every card, the x mult was 2^16=65536 on a four of a kind. With 2/3 bloodstone and all the other stuff the expected value of x mult is only 2^10.3=1261 on a four of a kind. He got really unlucky with negative jokers in the shop though, he basically had infinite money for rerolls and still only found one negative in the shop.
42:55 i hadn’t though of it until now but when going for late game runs it is probably optimal to ignore ectoplasm until you have the crazy strong late game jokers
I tried this seed out but I’m getting Flower Pot instead of Oops. I have Oops unlocked
So tru, I do be watching skootie on 2x with his game on 2x so it is now 4x
So I don't know if you check these, but I found out last night while doing an abandoned run that blueprint can dupe burglar (add 3 hands, remove all discards), and I found out that it's a really good way to boost jokers that are effected by playing a lot of hands, and enables some high card builds
The most impact u would get from the lucky cards u be to switch the blood stone with the retriger joker so u could win more money and in the last switch both for scoring
That's amazing! I can't believe the game lets you do that
That ending was hilarious
What timing! I just got 1.8 billion points with a lucky cat build, my highest score yet :) got it to about x50 multiplier
Respect a game that lets you instantly game over yourself.
Bloodstone is _at best_ *x32*
He should have invisible jokered the cat and put blueprint on it.
Also, he _needed_ to hold Strength at all costs.
you aren't very smart, bloodstone at best is 32^3 which is quite a big number
@@QyubijThe cat is also X^3. And because it grows way above 32, it's objectively better. Although, maybe he'd need 100% trigger for that to be true.
honestly some real rotten luck on negative draws from the store. this was fun. subbed.
Bold of you to assume that I am happy.
I’ve never seen something like this guys. Pretty impress!!! Love to watch you
Every time a polystone shows up my day is made better
"I need strength"
ignores the fool with strength in hand

Much appreciated. I happen to play Balatro on 4x and this feels very natural.
You did! You found the lucky deck!
I had one that was even more coincidental and lucky. Madness joker gives you x0.50 mult everytime you play a blind but removes a random joker each round. If you eternal this and manage to then dupe it with spectral early on which i did twice. You now have an infinity scaling 3x mult building infinitely with 1.50x mult each round and you can add any other eternal joker and then get lucky to enchant them. I did that and on top of that left 1 joker slot so i could find negative jokers, which ended in total with 8x jokers enchanted. Ended in ante 15 with playing a straight flush deck with 50+ aces.
imagine a modded consumable, which swaps enhancements between a random enhanced joker, and a random enhanced playing card, can get you something like a red seal Yorick, or a negative ace
I did a DNA, blueprint, coffee stain, hologram, lucky cat run. Deck was almost all lucky As, but got the cat Ante 9 so only got it to like 4x. But I did get holo to like 25x.
That was the most unsatisfying ending ever.
Bout to go try it myself
clutch negative misprint
>Buys the Observatory voucher
>Sees Eris in the shop several more times
>Always buys and uses or just rolls past it
😫
I had a double Sock and Buskin run with Lucky Cat and the joker that gives first face card 2x, and the dice joker. It was so much fun.
As someone who has only seen people play this game and not played it myself, it felt weird to see him skip Eris a few times as well as not clicking the "Buy and Use" button a few times when he was using the planet card right away after it went up into his holding area.
Keep the current card speed for UA-cam we love it!❤
I’m guessing that if you ever reach a moment where you can’t draw any cards, it’s an automatic loss, usually triggered by thinning out your deck and discarding everything, but I’m guessing that if you have 0 hand size, you can’t draw any cards, triggering the automatic loss
yep, that's right
The 0 hand size insta lose is great 😂😂😂
Poly blackboard looks awesome
49:30
Can someone explain to me why replacing cat isn’t the play here? My understanding is that if you copied bloodstone with brainstorm, you would be getting a x2^15 multiplier, as opposed to cat which only achieves that kind of bonus after around 11000 hands.
For flavor. The run is themed around the cat so getting rid of it would miss the point. At that point why use lucky cards at all
@@benro6564 true
Yeah getting rid of cat was definitely the way to go, made me go a bit type A when he dropped Bloodstone instead. I guess maybe he wanted to keep cat for the meme.
@@jwlarocque100% convinced its just for content, but there's a lot of misplays in these vids that make me wanna play the seeds myself lol
Skoottie's decisions are beyond my comprehension.
Example: bloodstone is clearly the play, and copying it would give him insane points while still allowing cat, so he keeps... Buskin?
Okay so...
Math time.
Bloodstone triggered 3 times per card played.
So per card played it brought *2^3 = *8 multiplier.
4 cards were played, so it brought *2^12=*4096 multiplier.
Cat brought around *50 mult at the end.
So sad that those kind of cards get out-shined by multipliers on cards.
It'd be nice if, when you scaled them in late game, they stacked much harder. fun run though
YOU FOUND THE SEED!!!
What seed was it?? 😭
I lost on ante 12 when hearts are debuffed. I had x13 lucky cat foil, negative rocket ($19), polychrome heartstone, and the two oops all 6's. Deck was 35 hearts, 10 of those were lucky :-;
perfect ending to this run tbh
Napkin would work better copying sock/buskin since it's the same number of x2s, but the extra lucky retriggers would be great
I love how you can get your hand size to 0, instantly killing you
Hey finally a seed for this build
1:17:16
Viewbots saw the numbers you were making and thought "NOW is the time to be a nuisance" lmao
Greetings from Brazil, @Skoottie. I'm addicted to your videos! I jus bought the game. Any tips?
God that ending, my sides 🤣🤣
What's funny that no one said is that the cat is worse than blood stone in every way
Kinda new to Balatro, What was Hologram joker doing near the end there?
Weren't playing enough stray lucky cards to upgrade the Cat before throwing out the Flush 5/FourOAK for my liking, but still sweet as.
Dice pog Idol slog.
3:30 me watching this on 2x speed
I feel so seen rn
you asked for it, you got it
Saddest part of the video is that the 7 never grew up :(
If you kept Space Joker, wouldn't the upgrading of Flush Five have made the base mult and Chips increase massively by the time you got towards the end
I had a very similar run except that I couldn't find the Lucky 6's joker, so I lost at blind 12 xD
This slow gamespeed is torture as someone who has 0layed almost exclusivly on 4x.
Skootie you just gave me a wonderful idea
You called me out 😂 I’m watching on 2x while you’re on 2x
Getting negative juggler would have saved the run😂
I think juggler is the +1 hand size right?
I wonder what negative Oops all Sixes looks like?
Wait I don’t get it, why was idol any good there? Aren’t the chances for it to go back to kings really really low?
Pretty sure tiki’s practically unplayable
tiki selects from your deck so the last time he got it he could have easily made it work. it would have been better than cat but cat was clearly staying for the theme and memes
@@ace8780 and you'd be wrong... idol only picks from the cards in your deck. It would have been just as good as bloodstone if he could have gotten rid of those few stray cards that weren't king of hearts.
@@tissuepaper9962 yea someone already lmk this a month ago. We found the type a chatter
@@ace8780 no tiki is amazing late game once you’ve got good deck fixing because it only selects cards from your deck
You should do "one hand size challenge". I'm not sure if there's a good seed for that tho
By far you best run yet lmao
you must be insane
I keep getting weak versions of the seeds you run around the same time. I spectraled a deck hand into all 10s and got walkie right after soon after seeing your all 10s vid. Earlier today I got a duped foil Oops in the first ante, but I had to sell one because it couldn't keep up with the difficulty I was in with only 3 lucky cards in the deck
I reall like watching these videos in backround
That is insane, missing money all those triggers at about 43:00 with a full red seal 5 and buskin. 11/15 odds to not trigger the money is still crazy low odds when you go and do (11/15)n where n is the number of triggers.
Not selling idol was upsetting
I watch everything except music vids on 2x. Can confirm 4x would ruin my experience 😂
