@@alexholmes7328 Devils is op because if you hit 777 on the 700 rent payment you literally pop it and then theres no synergies so no excessive counting. Thats why I'd have also said that horseshoe might just be bad. Every time you count that 2 adds up
@@n00bLokumi But you also have to account for the fact that it also ruins money productivity, and also most of the best rare items like swapper take extra time to execute, where as the ones you really want like bear for 1.5x don't.
There's some kinda interesting strats for this. Soft pillow is real good and things like arrows and swapping device become run ruiners. You'd also want symbols that give high payouts without playing an animation so I imagine cultists or diamonds would be top tier
@@namavoid3266 because he should be called "rock" not "alien".. its "aliens rock"... so he is not alien, he is the rock that is owned by an alien. Then again people call the monster "Frankenstein" altho he/it really is "Frankensteins monster"... you know, its the name of the scientist. The monsters name varies on different versions (Adam and Deucalion are the most common ones) but people keep calling it "Frankenstein".... so i guess people call Tyler "alien" by same (wrong) logic ??
The theoretical top runs would be like all crab/cultist/suits with comfy pillow and devil’s deal (pop as soon as you have enough money for all remaining rents to reduce time when counting up money) because if you have something like crabs or cultists where everything gives the same amount of money it’s all counted at once. Pool balls, horseshoes, and bowling balls will actually be bad because they increase the time to count coins. Also crabs/cultists/suits can buff their copies without an animation.
If a speedrun game wants to avoid brute force strats, they just need to adapt thr categories. E.g needing to. speedrun 3/4 runs in a row makes it WAY harder to bruteforce or go crab only.
color-adjectives are gradable antonyms. That is to say, both orange and red are valid adjectives for these crabs on account of there being no objective cutoff point between the two colors.
Man getting a top time in this would be awful. Gotta pick super quick and take only options that dont consume, create or have adjacencies to prevent animations. Gotta get super lucky on cultists, crabs, dogs, magpies with synergy from items. Sounds pretty awful to run once the record gets low
Didn't think I'd see the day Tyler becomes a speedrunner, but this was genuinely interesting, AND the commentary throughout was superb. I couldn't imagine trying to comment and make split second decisions for strategic synergies.
I can defo see some improvements for a better time. There're a lot of symbols the have animations including the beastmaster which took up at least 1 minute of your time. so you want to avoid Drawfs Keys Bartenders etc. Second thing, and this is what will save the most time and possibly why this run with being so luck-based and really hard. You want to have your symbols costing the same price as each different price you have plays an animation taking time. There is only 1 symbol in the game that I know of that follows this rule and gives you the ability to win, Cultists, so gl and hf people. The strat should be getting symbols that only give 1 coin and cultist and as soon as you start getting a lot of cultists you can start removing some 1 cost symbols to make more room for cultists. If you do not get enough early cultists you must restart the run since it's unlikely you pass the 3rd payment.
quick rule of thumb on items, an item you have already received won't show up after rent payment. So when offered a 7 or a pool ball, you have not yet had any in your run. The only exception to this is if you exhaust the item pool, at which point you'll be offered the relevant gold per turn item for that rarity: pool ball, horse shoe, bowling ball or four leaf clover.
Some of the notes I figured out: A lot of this is multitasking-based. You gotta be able to sift through every pick and also analyze your current build at the same time. The best run are non-animation boost runs. Off the top of my head, two are Cultist and Crabs, one of which you just did. In any run that DOES have an animation, however, you gotta regulate the animation to the most necessary bits. In Crabs, for example, you wanna get rid of all animals BUT crabs early on so the animations only play for your crabs. The beast master wasting time buffing other animals will cut into the full speed run.
Rewatching this way later, a really cool speedrun category would be Endless Loss%, because then your goal is to win but by the absolute minimum amount possible and then tank your build as fast as possible
I feel like RNG manipulation would be the best way to get a good Luck Be a Landlord run. A possible strat could be 4 Anchors at all corners or 5 Crabs in a row. After that, Looting Glove, Midas Bomb and 8 Mega Chests surrounding it should get you through a good majority of the game. Other items could be a couple of Really Big Symbol Bombs in a row to obtain said Mega Chests, not to mention Pizza to increase the amount of Symbols you get.
The actual correct play, I think, isn’t removal but rather taking symbols that don’t do anything, like ruby. You don’t care abt money, you just want things that don’t have beastmaster animations.
It's actually a good idea I think. You kinda realized it too late that you had already won and can just skip all for timesave but still a legit good run.
Oh so when Aliensrock does this it's "cool" and "innovative" But when i do it I'm "bad at the game" and "need to learn how to play" I'm not salty i swear
I wonder what the highest possible number could be on a crab? The highest I can think of now would be five in a row (13) with nine golden arrows pointing at it (x4 each) and two beastmasters in the corners when protractor goes off (x2 each). The arrows would be (when the crab is in the secont highest row and middle column) one directly above it with two to the sides of that one, one directly below the crab with one below that arrow and two to the sides, and the last two arrows being in the bottom two corners. The beastmasters would be in the top corners. I think this would amount to 13631488 (obviously imposssible but theoretically), but I'd like to see if anyone can think of a combination that would be higher.
I have immediately found a better way: Replace the outer two crabs with more golden arrows, the base crab will be 7 instead of 13 but the two extra golden arrows push it to 117440512 I think.
For faster and more efficient speed run attempts in the future you should download and set up AutoHotKey so you can keybind mouse clicks to certain positions of the screen instead of moving the mouse manually
We really need a no animations option. They get annoying in some late game runs and they bog you down here. If we could turn them off or at least minimize them, a lot more fun strategies for landlord speedruns would be on the table, not just crabs and cultists
Day 64 of saying that you should look into Recursed, it is an awesome puzzle game with awesome recursion craziness and it does a great job teaching you the mechanics as you play without any blatant tutorial levels
i come to your videos for stratagy if i wanted to watch somone who just picked really fast and dident think about what they choose i would watch somone else
I think it should be until you have enough money to pay all remaining rent cycles, instead of until you actually pay it. You’ve basically won already at that point, so...
Doublers like beastmaster and farmer probably aren't the best for this kind of thing, their animation is pretty slow. If chances aligned and you gotten eaters and a few high cost items like diamons, thst could save a lot of time
Why did this work so well

Well they will. He cant evade them

Hol up

Now that I think about it... soft pillow is OP since it lets you skip the spin before each rent payment.

You see Crab you take Crab -Tyler "Dildobike" Aliensrock, 2021
Another victim of carcinization...
The Crab Cycle: there is one step and it is CRAB
My favorite part of crab runs is whenever Tyler goes "CRAB!" at symbol selection.
The beast master costs 0.35 seconds per proc, which gives about an extra second per spin
i looked for this comment
Per spin per beast master

Next try Luck be a Landlord Randomizer... oh wait
Lmao
It has potential. You could randomise what rarity each item is and make the game even more of a gamble
(Randomized rent) so rent 1 is 5739900$, rent 2 is 1$
If this becomes a thing, I guarantee it will end up with top runs just spamming the middle option.
I think only taking cultists would be faster since only 1-2 animations will play after each spin
@@Bob13454 Yeah buffing and creation slows things down so it'll end up being a hunt for cultists or suits or diamonds
@@Bob13454 yes, but the luckiest runs will have them in the middle and on most spins

Literally perfect run
A Crab speedrun of *Luck Be A Landlord* - nice!
I also think this went better than last time you uploaded a Crab run.
Wait... So speed is power for crabs?
This was a lot of fun, it feels like there's potential for a depth of meta to speed running this game that can be hard to squeeze out of other games
1000coin%, 10000coin%, 50spins%, 1000coinspin%, 1000coinsymbol%, yeah, lots of categories are possible here.
It was today that I learned that the crabs in landlord are orange. I always thought they were red.
Very dark orange, easy to mistake
It’s more of a red-orange color to me
color-adjectives are gradable antonyms. That is to say, both orange and red are valid adjectives for these crabs on account of there being no objective cutoff point between the two colors.
I feel you, I just found out yesterday that the golden gate bridge is technically orange.
Good ol' Reddit Upvote color. Always sparks a debate over red vs orange.

Taking the Beastmaster is a no-go in a speedrun. The animation that plays takes several seconds per spin, resulting in a stupidly large timeloss.
cultists are probably the fastest speedrun item because u can reset to get them and they dont have an animation attached
Cultists and crabs

As a speedrunner I can confirm that this was a decent speedrun but could use some optimizes.
Great video! I like how Tyler edited this one, as it was essentially just adding a timer haha,,, Ben doesn’t add timers lol
me just casually watching the video:
Tyler: CRAB
me: *jumps out of seat*
(7:45 btw)
Good ol reason to stay up way to late is here once again
The problem for this becoming a thing is that the game is literally revolving around luck and luck mostly and so runs would never be consistent
Thats the point
"just press on the item the second they appear, no decisition making at all"
i didn't knew i was a luck be a landlord speedrunner
This the most exciting one yet!! i love it
This is a great CRAB video. I found it funny CRAB how you just interrupted yourself mid CRAB sentence to say crab.
Your speedrun commentary is so nice!!!
Take a shot every time he says "crab"
Dude is that ok? I thought drinking 20 L of alcohol was bad for you
I find it stupid ironic how this video is also the shortest Landlord UA-cam video to date
It's not really ironic. It's to be expected
Going fast=shorter time
It's fun because due to its luck elements even a dumb like me held the world record for a couple of weeks
Super Secret speedrun tech, you can press the spacebar to spin btw. Would save a fraction of a second every spin.
Head empty just 🦀
That Thief banana sound effect though
Comfy pillow could’ve saved tons of time too
Sweeetttttt speed runs on this game are pretty insane

If md crabplays that game and finds that crabs soo caluable he probably try to sell himself for coins
The hex is actually insane because you save so much time due to the insta skip. Also the beastmaster is a run ruiner imo due to the animations

And the krebs cycle continues...
you need to try a run where you only pick middle, left or right for the entire game
clearly the way you speed run this is just always take the center item and symbol
I feel like the speed run should be first to the money needed to win the whole game so it’s not just clicking buttons the quickest
Better idea is to speedrun to get to a certain amount of coins, something like 2500. Rent payments would make it tough but interesting
So just how apq plays normally
Ok then interesting speed
10/10 no time wasted
It’d be interesting if the dev could add an option if you don’t pick in x time, it picks randomly.
Spacebar spins
Drinking game, shot every time he says crab
Yo I was timing on stream and when I stopped timer I got 11:08.45, I should be an official timer
There is your new job. You get hired for 50$ and hour. Your jobs are never more than 59min...
For faster and more efficient speed run attempts in the future you should download and set up AutoHotKey so you can keybind mouse clicks to certain positions of the screen instead of moving the mouse manually
You could always just choose one spot and hope it works when it does unbeatable world record
Well you could also use auto clickers to time it right for everything

always gotta sleep to aliensrock
I think it should be until you have enough money to pay all remaining rent cycles, instead of until you actually pay it. You’ve basically won already at that point, so...
