THE FAMILY Saves the Day! - Balatro

[@TheRubySpider]

43:43 This noise is actually Tyler reading out the name of the seed, in case anyone wanted to try it for themselves.

[@Justifier925]

How kind of him to tell us with such enthusiasm

[@chrisfischer41]

It hurt me so much seeing him at 29 diamons at the end of the run bc one of the joker unlocks is for having 30 of a suit in your deck 😭

[@nothingnothing1799]

13:13 bro could've had it for free too

[@bcatgamering]

The Fresh Prince reference at the Stone Card tugged at my heart strings... "How come he don't want me, man" hit so hard, lmao. Props to the editor as always.

[@Kimtroverted]

I came to the comments to mention the reference and I was gleefully happy someone beat me to it! :D

[@theneekofficial8829]

18:15 I’ve seen a few others say it but under “Run Info” in the bottom left, just above options, there’s a tab in there to see the blinds in the ante, including what you get if you skip. for future reference

[@Meklein]

This information is certified real information by some random dude on the internet 😎

[@TwoTailedGamerYT]

29:17 imagine they had other alternative words that were synonyms for Nope for the wheel of fortune failing to buff any of your jokers, like "Nah" or "negative" or "Yes but No!" XD I mean, Nope is already a slap in the face as is, but seeing "Nah" or "Negative" pop up would just be hilarious XD

[@StilvurBee]

Nada Nuh-uh Not today Nice try No

[@fizzyizzypop1300]

I agree with this but negative is a joker state so maybe not that one. Here’s some more though: No way Try again :) Sorry ;) Wanna spin again? Tough luck! Not your lucky day!

[@WackyZackyBoy]

Whomp whomp :(

[@Adirbal]

Nah, I'd get a negative

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

Unfortunate! Someday! Next time! How about no! Zero percent chance! No-go! Nice try! No way! Uhh.. No!

[@kadenkks]

Fun fact: if you're going for straights, you want to specialize in medium value cards. Since aces cap off both ends but don't bridge, there's less combinations of straights that contain aces, and cards that link with aces like kings and 2s are less valuable as a result as well. Unless you have the joker that makes a tarot for an ace straight, and that ones not even great, cutting the ends will tend to make your life better.

[@MapleK121]

You can re-order your Jokers after the Boss Blind flips and shuffles them. I normally just play one junk card, and watch the triggers. Then I can move them to the correct spot

[@dracothewarrior4316]

that's what he did

[@jc_art_]

​@@thomashanson6603 he probably either didnt think of that, or just assumed that its probably safest to keep as many hands as possible to ensure he has as many chances to win as he can get

[@corrymuth2997]

@@thomashanson6603nah the only joker that matters for order is the tarot, since fib triggers during play and every other mult effect was multiplicative

[@dingochungis6814]

you can also just grab one of the jokers immediately after choosing to fight the acorn but before it shuffles, and it will remain grabbed. therefore, you can know the exact position of one specific joker, and move it wherever you want when he was close to rerolling this boss, the easiest boss in the entire game even IF you don't know about this trick, i was about to pull my hair out lmao

[@shelvacu]

The family wasn't even necesary for the last hand, 906k/4 =~ 226k which still beats the blind. Amazing.

The shuffling animations are correct, the reason I checked is because I was tracking the first one mainly, it was the only one I could track as it did not move in the 2nd and 3rd shuffles and it happened to line up. Animations: 1XX4X -> 4XX1X, 1X3X5 -> 5X1X3, 123X5 -> 352X1, Compound: 12345 -> 43215 Tarot, Fibo, Smear, Family, Baller -> Family, Smear, Fibo, Tarot, Baller ->(He drags the Tarot) Tarot, Family, Smear, Fibo, Baller This lines up with what is shown in the final scoring, it could be useful sometime.

Midas Card and the Vampire card. (Makes face cards gold cards and then removes the enhancement for times mulitplier is OP)

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

Pareidolia + Midas Mask + Vampire is a godly combo.

[@lilaccreeper2005]

I love the acorn final boss, just slowing it down and sending out a test hand to see if you know your build is fun. All the bosses take skill to beat, but that once is just a different type of skill

[@pipecleanermaster]

Love that you’re playing this game again.

[@Kier_1]

He has a 6hour vod of this game on his channel

[@jasan9973]

The joker shuffling was indeed indicative! The joker you specifically wanted to be on the left got moved to the 4th slot from the right in the animation and was in fact there when it triggered!

I'm hoping that Tyler finds out that 10 - Ace straights also work to one shot the first blind of each game xD

Even an 8-Q straight will one shot the first blind

Did you know that getting any voucher 10 times upgrades it? It also works with the blank voucher.

[@nemesis041]

The Serpent ignores your hand limit, just so you know, meaning you can discard one card and get three, regardless how many you are able to hold normally.

Just had a run on a high stake(IIRC black stake) and got a negative family, truly a blessed run, usually when I go for negatives I get stuff like negative egg lol.

[@owenpook2262]

Negative egg isn't terrible tbf lol, set it and forget for a permanent temperance boost. or swashbuckler synergy, or just let it charge up to supercharge a ceremonial dagger

[@fastflack8194]

You can actually check the boss blind while in shop, its under run info, you just have to swap the tabs

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

I was internally screaming at the last one since you could've sent up a single card to fully read out exactly which jokers were where.

[@arthurdent5357]

"Steel cards are not as good as I thought" Oh boy

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

I mean, you're gonna want Glass Cards for the endgame instead of Steel Cards, but that's for when you get into the trillions per blind. They're still extremely useful if you happen to hold onto them, though.

9:08 “Death is worth it, I think.” - Tyler, 2024

[@the4bestgame]

I wonder how the game would feel is things like a straight flush could be updraded by both straight and flush upgrades, might make it a little more friendly to go all in on "I want this type of hand" builds

[@rindemonblood6283]

So that's the run I tuned into during the stream, I caught the end live

[@YayDragons]

I just commented how cool this run would be on a skootie vid! Only difference being I was centering it arouns the free spectral card for each straight flush joker

[@MonkeyBurrito]

That would have been a good run to go endless. Well done tyler!

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

Uh, I don't think this run would've held up in Endless. At most Tyler makes it past Ante 9 without Hieroglyph.

[@rainendaggett1333]

[@Malaphor2501]

Midas mask is so much fun with the joker that makes everything face cards

[@PickleManSupreme]

Honestly, I think it would be funny if we saw a high card build and I’m all down for it.

[@Beroghattas1]

16:00 the game discards the 6 diamonds without being clicked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@feryth]

It turned into a queen of diamond??

[@1asdsa1]

My profile is currently at 70% completeness. The Challenge 20 Jokerless feels exceptionally challenging, much harder than the Golden Stake with strong decks such as Checkered or Plasma. Took me nearly 4 hours to beat. The worst part is that success heavily relies on luck initially. In early game, you need nice tarrots and blinds to skip which make lots of money, correct planets (imo, only flush, full house and four of a kind could work, flush is the best because it's stable, and you need to find the same one the whole game, without Telescope Voucher most likely), cannot face certain bosses like Wall or Hand. Strategy only becomes applicable thereafter.

[@tau93]

great editing

Please continue your run in endless mode ! It scales insanely quickly, with the biggest wall being at Ante 11 ! It doesn't generally adds too much time to your run and it's what feels like the biggest challenge.
