It's certainly seen more success than any of my other content but for it to be truly notable in the Balatro community it'd need like a million more views lol To be honest it doesn't extremely deserve that much acknowledgement-a much more comprehensive/better TAS (imagine custom seeds? i just didn't want to bother with the endless potential personally) could almost certainly be created. Would've been cool to get thunk's reaction but it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not on all blinds (E.G. 2:12 goes straight to the boss) but rest assured I tried to click on the blind as early as it was actionable. It's like there's a frame rule or something in place to prevent accidental blind selection. I wouldn't know and I'm not motivated to try and figure it out but if there was a successor to my TAS I imagine that's priority №1, assuming it is something that can be addressed.

Yeah that was a little annoying to orchestrate. Took a video and reversed it to see where things ended up when routing it.

the point is to see what the lowest possible time could be. The same reason why people go for world records in anything. It doesn't matter if the activity itself is new or different, the point is the score. I don't get why this is so hard to understand, to be honest.

If you could use aim assist to play faster than anybody else in the world (who are also using it) i assure you that would be impressive and interesting to watch, you definitely can't though

@@Cruxin what, watching someone use aim assist is neither impressive nor interesting what are you talking about

@@askthepizzaguy this is so different than world records, this requires no high skill like that

@@carlangasa4622 if they do it to be faster than humanly possible then yeah it could be. if they just use it to boringly win like you would then sure, who cares, but that's not the same thing. just because they start with more tools to win doesn't mean it isn't interesting if they push things to the limit. but you can't tell the difference so L i guess lol

It would totally be possible, just laborious with how this one was made. Some preliminary work was done to make a builtin Balatro bot/API that'd surely be easier to work with( github.com/besteon/balatrobot ), but, to my knowledge, it hasn't been updated to work with 1.0.1f. Its speed wasn't exactly top-notch either.

I think I may be wrong but any single player game could be TAS compatible

​@@CATGAMERFANCYTHE its a joke man

I have no source to back this up, but I suspect there is RNG seeding going on where the initial seed determines a starting point in RNG, and then every time something random happens it does a random roll then goes on to the next data point in the RNG. Therefor the exact same actions always have the exact same results in the same seed. I guess that a lot of the seemingly random actions such as opening spectral packs and not picking anything from them is to manipulate this.

Yeah, everything's determined by the seed in a sequential queue. Timing isn't important. When you open booster packs, it just pulls from that queue 1-1, __every time__. I opened that skipped Spectral pack to move the queue along farther, so I could copy my stone cards with Cryptid. (I noted that my strange divergence into Stone cards didn't really matter, but it still increased my deck size for my Blue Joker) When you draw cards, it draws the same ones, in the same order. (that's how The House basically didn't do anything difficult against routing) Since I knew this going in, routing the game casually was actually pretty fun. With libTAS you can just drop a savestate and immediately take back anything that doesn't work. (such as requiring The Sun for a faster Flush on The Pillar) You can savescum without using libTAS on Windows the same way-it's pretty dependable. There are tools that let you flat out see these queues such as mathisfun0.github.io/The-Soul/, but I didn't want to fuss around with them for this run.

Its just the seed "TUTORIAL" which is the first seed you play

Fresh start of the game. Zero prior save file. (in fact libTAS doesn't write anything to storage) Get to Ante 8 and beat the boss blind. The Balatro speedrunning community requires further information to be shown afterwards for verification, but considering this category doesn't exist there, I didn't bother. I think the achievements counting up should be a valid enough indication. (you can always play the libTAS file yourself) TASes in general use some unique timing-the timer ends on the final input, not when the completion of the greater objective is solidified. That's why this video is titled 2:48 and not 2:54. (when the deck is fully reshuffled, per speedrun.com rules)

I'm assuming it's ante 1-8 on a completely new save file?

There is a set seed that the tutorial uses. (All first runs use the TUTORIAL seed to determine rng)

And the run is already over

Wholely agreed, TETR.IO definitely puts a focus on multiplayer play, leaving SOLO in the dust. I'll admit, adjustable board dimensions for custom games with the 6.1 release was a step in a nice direction as far as single player variety goes, but it's not enough to keep me around past the super dumb applications for it. If you're looking for more solo stackers definitely check out my allspin chronicles, or at least, the bottom of the description there: I've got a list of my togo solo stackers there -- Spirit Drop in particular knocks it out of the park with it's Evolution mode.
