Hopefully he moves on to silent and ironclad. Dunno why he wouldn't, unless he's bored of the game. StS2 is on its way, he'd be doing himself a service getting all the way prepared for that game. Bunch of new viewers available at launch for that and if he's good at the game plus himself he could pick up thousands of new dedicated fans
@@photographyraptor I mean he's never gunna be truely cracked at the game cause he doesn't care to be, and I think he'd take new fans of all kinds. It's just $$$ at the end of the day. Money he deserves.
@@samthecowboy I gotcha but notice there's a LOT of people with that same thought process here. And - for example - if youve ever been teased excessively, you'll know it starts to feel a tidbit like bullying after a point.
Has 2 FNEs, tantrum, both eruption and vigilance upgraded, and then picks lotus. "I don't want this to be a stance dancing deck" BROTHER! It already is!
Its what carried him for a long while so finds it 'boring' its the same stuff that happened in the previous series. He doesn't want to do the same decks to keep things interesting.
53:30 missed lethal on the timekeeper. He had 8 cards he could play and 7 energy after exiting calm, Timekeeper has 172 health. Card 1: Eruption - 1 energy, 9 damage Card 2: Sands of Time - 0 energy, 52 damage Card 3: Wallop - 2 energy, 24 damage Card 4: Insight, - 0 energy Card 5: Tantrum - 1 energy, 18 damage Card 6: Bowling Bash - 1 energy, 20 damage Card 7: Strike - 1 energy, 18 damage Card 8: Conclude - 1 energy, 32 damage Total Cards: 8 Total Energy: 7 Total Damage: 173 To be fair that's a tough line and its exact numbers, but on A20 you gotta do the math. You can't just eyeball the last boss. Also if he didn't draw an attack off the insight he was cooked but he was cooked anyway.
Brother you have to know NL ain't doing that math. Also - you very much can eyeball the last boss on A20. Got plenty of wins under my belt without puzzling it out to that extent. Could I have a higher winrate if I did? Probably, yeah. Do I find sitting there doing all the combinatorics every turn fun? Nah brother I'm just gonna take the line that I think is probably best and if that isn't good enough oh well, at least I enjoyed the ride.
@@masterplusmargarita Agreed, even on A20 you get those runs where you can play with your eyes closed: bottled Apotheosis, most Dead Branch runs or Mummified Hand Creative AI Defect runs.
I've noticed NL has been rushing these past few videos, despite them being longer than your average 40 min run and subsequently making many simple mistakes. 19:21 "Well I'm not killin ya.." He says as he has 42 dmg from strike dummy (which he already dissed the game for giving him), and the enemy has 40 HP. Not to mention yesterday's run could have easily been an A20 winner if he had just slowed down a little more.
This past few videos? Mate, he has been rushing for most of the series. It's so bad that even he remarked on it plenty... not that it made any difference because he's still rushing regardless.
@@Zeffpenguin almost beat Ascension 20 and still doesn't respect how much better strikes are than defends, especially early when watcher can end encounters in one turn.
@@sloesty Eh, he always cuts a defend before a strike, and I don't think the strat, personally, is to just cut every defend from the deck on the average run when like 5-6 cards are removed
Missed lethal on Time Eater because he was playing Slimes while in Wrath with a hand full of attacks. and skipping a guaranteed relic because he forgot Omamori would negate the curse. This seed felt unlosable and somehow he clutches defeat from the jaws of victory, insanity.
I just want to say that I love slay the spire but I suck at it, finally though, after 100hrs and using some strategy I’ve picked I’m up in these videos I’ve finally managed to beat the heart on the watcher!
My man was putting the work in on this one, doing the math between multiple options like four times on this run and doing his diligence on meat on the bone(trying at least).. Great work Ryan!
Was he now? He literally died in the first 5 minutes because he exited Wrath before playing the last strike and the missing 9 damage was how much he was short from killing the Nob. So you must have been late or watching a different video :D
He did a good job all thing's considered. Time eater is just a hard fight to plan around. Its very different. Could he have won if he played things out differently? Maybe. But time eater just sucks on the best of days.
C'mon man, just get a phone and unlimited is like 50 a month. Panhandle for a day it could make you 50-200 depending on where you at. Just get an ambiguous sign and don't approach let people come to you.
I'm always upset when I get Omamori too late to make use of it. But it's pretty gnarly to see somebody get it and then ignore it entirely when it can be useful. It's so good, man. You gotta use it, for all the times I couldn't.
honestly, i think it would be pretty cool QoL if StS 2 lets you pin certain relics to another region of the screen or the front of your relic list. ink bottle stocks would be soaring
Feel like nl really under values the strength from wish. It makes wrath stance even more busted and scales great with tantrum, ragnarok, flying sleeves etc
I'm loving this series but I guess it's time to end it because this comment section is giving me big 2019 vibes. The Type As can't stop themselves, take me back to timestamp + meme meta
The amount of times he doesn't pay attention to his relic's is staggering. While I understand a good pace is necessary, imitates speed runners without the required forethought it takes to speed run. I know, why don't you do it yourself. But it's contradictory to say everythings fine then act like it's not.
"There's not a shop nearby so I don't think I'll take the curse"
Omamori with 2 charges sitting at the top of his screen: ...

I’m praying to god he ends up checking out Downfall. I know he won’t, but still. The series would go so insanely hard

nl got violet lotus and immediately goes “but i don’t want to stance dance this time” BROTHER YOU PICKED THE STANCE DANCE RELIC
THANK YOU. He takes multiple calm enablers and wrath enablers and says he doesn't want to stance dance with Lotus 😭
Come on, man, do you think he makes reasonable decisions he thinks through? :P
The backseatimg community is growing in power every episode...

Eventually he will notice omamori and cursed key. Not copium.
This man would rather spend 6 minutes micro-optimizing meat on the bone rather than spend 30 seconds sequencing his turn properly
I could not believe it. AT LEAST looking at your attacks in hand is like step 0 when in wrath
and then fail to do it even when there was an easy opportunity to
The fact that he didn't even factor in Tori as well 🤦♂If that was me after that moment i would have said "fuck it, this isn't worth the time"
And we love it, dont we folks?
@leon4875 at this point if the answer isnt yes you're objectively wasting your time here 😂
all I’m gonna say is, if this was a run he played on stream, a lot of people would have gotten themselves banned
*Hovers over the cards that will kill ya* "Well I'm not killing ya"
28:32 NL trying to break his own record for time spent in this room
nl attempting meatbone-maxxing but forgetting he was torii-pilled was just so perfect
And then Tori procking only for him to fish for taking 4 damage, which he couldn’t do because of the Tori he just got reminded of lol
Has 2 FNEs, tantrum, both eruption and vigilance upgraded, and then picks lotus. "I don't want this to be a stance dancing deck" BROTHER! It already is!
I know people who pray for decks like that with relics like those and he's out here saying he doesn't even want any of it man
I swear he has a personal vendetta against a stance dancing build
Its what carried him for a long while so finds it 'boring' its the same stuff that happened in the previous series. He doesn't want to do the same decks to keep things interesting.
@@chazwwe brother weve only seen wish scry decks for the past week
@@chazwwe that is not why. 😂 its that stance dance hasn't worked for him in higher levels so he thinks its bad. does this all the time
11:00 bro the omamori
What’s worse is that it was a 50/50 for a curse so it could have been free.
Edit: Nevermind
“we’re making some silly decisions here” proceeds to exist wrath and then use a strike
Back in high school they used to call NL the White Bronco. In spite of that tragedy

I can't believe he was the Slay Harbor Butcher all along
the math is mathing. so proud of NL actually calculating the turns
4:40
finally gets punished for exiting wrath before playing all his attacks
It's a miracle he's made it this far with that habit 😳
Well, he can play decently and sometimes Spire just hand you the wins :D
He does it so often I'm surprised he actually noticed this time
He loves entering Calm just to play Empty Fist for no reason too. I'm here for the misplays lol

i dont blame him for forgetting strike dummy

Or Ragnarok, or getting strength off Wish

Spiker Play II: The Repulsing
He did a good job all thing's considered. Time eater is just a hard fight to plan around. Its very different. Could he have won if he played things out differently? Maybe. But time eater just sucks on the best of days.
You have to be prepared for that. On A20 it's 2/3 chances that you will fight Tim so yeah...
The first ten seconds of this video were a very, very ominous omen.
I lose my mind when he plays cards before spirit shield even when he’s gonna play it anyway
Another extremely satisfying run to watch. So glad you came back to STS NL it's been a treat to watch. Top tier gameplay banter baby
This is devastating form
trying to take 4 damage with Tori for 5 minutes is pure pog
The man will never not be omamori blind
I wasn't refreshing waiting for the fresh content! I wasn't!
Honestly surprised he didn't just instantly end the run and start again with that relic swap
Okay okay he's OJ posting
NL and exiting Wrath before playing all his attacks, name a more iconic duo.
I suppose there's also Having Omimori and avoiding Curses.
NL would’ve had 1 hp left in the end and a chance to win if he just played the left most Insight first before Spirit Shield
We're homeless guys, of course we use the local library to see the egg get A20

0:12 Anyone else scrub the video ahead as soon as he says "cracked crown" just to make sure he doesn't just die in the first 15 minutes?
The "A" in Type A stands for Ascension
Is there a way to make the omamori icon bigger for NL alone? Like huge, half the screen?
honestly, i think it would be pretty cool QoL if StS 2 lets you pin certain relics to another region of the screen or the front of your relic list. ink bottle stocks would be soaring
It should flash during events like certain other relics do.
Local man does NOT understand stance dancing. More at 11.
You can not make this up: that man is refusing to spend 15 seconds to count the damage to not die but he spends 5 minutes to heal 7 hp. Wow.
we're slay the spire folks, of course we- TORIIIIIIII
TORIIIIIII HELP MEEEEE
Timbo has got your number
Only guy I know who would play a block potion and a weak potion, then end up with exactly 12 block left over after the enemy attacks 🤣
Ironically an Alpha would've been great in that last fight.
his fuckign reaction to tori triggering after spending several turns tryna farm meat on the bone im cryin
Call me the 4th character coz I am WATCHING brother

we're NL guys of course we still get excited about slay the spire even though the game drought is officially over

I havent watched beyond 2 minutes but broken crown might actually be a straight buff for NL, hopefully he will skip a card reward here or there.
