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

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.

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

Having formerly played WoW with Cixah he is nothing if not patient with some absolute bullshit

I love how every time Gros Michel shows up the crowd goes bananas.

I had a cavendish break a few days ago, but I got another one in literally the next shop, no rerolls, just waiting there like "can I pweese come back?"

Mad props to the Cixah and the couch for putting on a fantastic show. Was a blast to watch. Great job all!

23:09 OMG THAT JOKE WAS GLORIUS XDDD

Love to see Balatro at GDQ! Happened deep into the night for my timezone but glad to catch the vod here

BALATRO AT GDQ IS EPIC, what a super fun run!!!

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 💙

We’re Balatro guys, of course we skip the first two blinds for a Polychrome tag!

So cool to see Balatro being speedrunned! I have already put so much time in it this year, one of the addicting games ever.

Got this game after the run, fell immediately in love, Balatro game of the year

Let's go gambling!!!!!

Even though there are only 10 comments so far, I'm shocked that nobody brought up that they were talking about RNG manipulation and the shop right after that at 10:41 had Oops All Sixes (A joker that affects RNG)

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?

The music is so hypnotic. Such an amazing game!

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

@gophermanX

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.

We're Balatro guys, of course everything is RNG manipulation

So awesome to see Balatro at GDQ!

I literally missed this run because I was busy doing my own run LOL

GG! Great run with some very relatable RNG to fight through. Makes me want to try out this category now. ☺

That was a great run. Balatro yeetith, Balatro yoinkith away

I'm completely addicted to this game, so sad I missed this run!

this game is so incomprehensible sometimes even to those who have played it and that makes it so entertaining to watch

This is a cool game. I might pick it up

Have you got it yet?

It shouldn't surprise me, cause almost every game has a speed run by now, but it did surprise me that one of my favorite palate cleanser games has a speed run

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.

we are in fact Balatro guys

So it isn't just me that clicks on play instead of discard by accident !! ??? 😀

1 in 4 chance for Gros Michael? Was this recorded months ago?

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!

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.

So because the plasma deck trolled it's only 2 decks beaten?

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

Wow, these runs really angry up the blood. Balatro streams are usually backseat driver magnets, and boy do I have opinions...

I keep forgetting this is a skipless run, so I find myself getting mad that he’s skipping the polychrome and negative tags!

It’s me-shell. Gros Me-shell. Not Michael. Great stuff very entertaining and informative.

What is this speedrun about!

@erakfishfishfish

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.)

What's the goal here?

@Cruxin

Ай бұрын

Get through 8 antes of three rounds each, buying upgrades and enhancing playing cards to score high enough In this case, do it 3 times with different decks with different starting configurations

some bad luck on the plasma deck runs! although I didn't like the run with the ride the bus and scary face jokers, thought there were some better joker selections that could've been made (both buying and selling).

29:45 Why didn't he play the straight here? He probably just got distracted - but cards were so nicely ordered from 7 to King!

I don't understand anything that's going on here.
