Just one note!! Don't forget the A-2-3-4-5 straights makes superposition actually usable 😊
I believe QKA23 also works no?
@@CaTastrophy427 it shouldn't. maybe it does but i doubt it
The straight flush discard at 6:24 was painful
@@madguy228 Haven't tested it myself, but i've read on the discord that you can't wrap around to make a straight. Can't have QKA21 or anything of the like, it just makes a high card.
@@AppelsnoesWhat straight flush? He only has ace, 2 and 3
I don’t know how but you single handedly have made my life better
single "hand"-edly
XD@@rqmxn.
Most true statement ever
Tyler just has great energy and an infectious enthusiasm for getting big numbers
Same bro
I’m not sure if you know this, but with four fingers (the joker that allows flushes and straights to be played with 4 cards), you can have a different 4 cards be your flush than your straight and still get a straight flush
For Instance, if you played A♥️, K♥️, Q♠️, J♥️, 6♥️, it would be a straight flush since your AKQJ makes a straight and your 4 hearts makes a flush.
Also, I think Superposition would work if the Ace isn't related to the straight with four fingers? So if the hand is A, 5, 6, 7, 8, it would still trigger right?
@@oodlesofnoodles23yep that’s right
@@oodlesofnoodles23 oh that's creative! I didn't even think of that combo
I got a build with four fingers, smeared joker, and a spectral pack which gave me a ton of the same suit, and lost because i tried to do a straight flush of 4 cards on the psychic fight which made it not count since you have to play 5 cards to make chips on that fight. :(
@@PieletPi You couldve copied the seed and played with the same RNG again. Still sucks youd have to play back up to that point, but at least then you couldve seen the potential of that build.
I honestly LOVE your balatro series. Hope the full game comes out in the near future. Also your editing nowadays is crazy good especially in the intros.
His editors are some hard workers, so many subtle things in each video.
Especially love it when the editors edit what he says literally
I saw the dev of the game say full release isn't planned until early 2024 in a stream last week.
Its crazy too me how this game is STILL a demo and its already this popular! I hope the devs don't overwork themselves into releasing it too fast but this game is looking AWESOME so far!
early 2024
*dev lmao
Its interesting that aliensrock realized that he could flush house with only 4 of the same suit but didn't try the same with straight flushes, though i only found out this interaction kinda accidentally as well
Yea i think Tyler didn't realize the ace didn't have to be part of the straight to get the tarot. A6789 for instance is a straight with 4 fingers and would've given him the tarot. saw a few times this would've applied that he skipped.
Yeh. This and the fact he didn't realize he can make a straight with A234... he skipped so many tarots :)
Even an Ace King Queen of diamonds, Jack of clubs and 6 of diamonds counts as a royal flush with 4 fingers.
@@VivBrodockokay, and?
Tyler completely disregarding ace low straights, straight discarding them, was so funny 😂
The joker that gives you 20 chips and upgrades+10 chips every time you play a straight does work with at least straight flushes so i supose it also works with royal flushes. Also the tarot card that gives you a random joker is great for the last boss.
Also the joker that gives a bonus for hands containing 3 of a kind will trigger on a full house or 4 of a kind, because it still contains a 3 of a kind
It's been said a million times, it's going to be said a million times more, but can we just appreciate the amount of effort the editors put in? Absolutely beautiful
0:40 as someone who's nearly completed the entire collection (maybe I have, I'm not sure if the last blinds are reachable) you have no idea how much content is missing. I'm watching another balatro RUclipsr who played the beta and it has so much cool stuff that I was sad to see is not in the demo.
a funny thing with the four finger card. you dont need all 4 cards to be a straight and the flush. you can be one card off on both as long as 4 cards make a straight and the 5th card completes the flush. so A K
Have been a follower since BTD battles days, years have passed but you kept the good content going, ingenius commentary and gameplay. Thanks for the countless hours of entertainment, Tyler
I don't know if it was my comment, but i see that now there's a slight fade between cuts the speed up the tedious gameplay, which is what I commented on last video. Thank you so much for adding this change, it feels much better! ❤❤
at 6:25 you could have played ace 2 3 4 for your tarot/planet btw, aces are high or low even though that isn't really well visually denoted
also, at 15:35 you actually have a straight flush with this red king, this game considers a straight flush to be a hand that contains both a straight and a flush, which with 4 fingers means you can play Ace King Queen Jack Jack (4 diamonds and 1 hearts) and have both the straight [Ace King Queen Jack] and the flush [Ace Queen Jack Jack] included within the hand.
At the boss blind, you can instead of selling anything yet, if you have the "Juggler" Joker, you should dig through your hand first to find the cards that you want, and then sell the Juggler since you retain the +2 card hand after selling it (until you play a hand or discard cards), that works to your favour.
Dont forget you can make a straight with Ace 2 3 4 5
So deleting 6,7,8s and trying to upgrade 9s to 10s may be better then deleting 2-5
Tyler really got so excited about four fingers and refused to acknowledge it's existence for the rest of the run
Been so addicted to this game. Superposition, Four fingered hand, and splash (all played cards are scored) is great for farming tarot cards cause you can play any straight and just tack on an ace
Do you even need Splash for that? Superposition says if the hand "contains" Ace and Straight, so I don't think you need to score the Ace
@@andypandy00the scoring hand has to contain it , the ace , yes , splash is needed
When it's the last turn and you are considering selling jokers but have the +2 joker. You can discard for a good hand while the cards in hand are still debuffed and sell the +2 joker before you play the cards.
Just so you know the 4 finger joker makes it so something like Ace of D, King of d, Queen of h, Jack of d, 4 of d is a strait flush because it contains both a strait and a flush
Hey mr editor, thank you for such an amazing video! Would you consider adding reminders of what combination as what whenever its mentioned for the first time in a given video? Its quite difficult to follow at times because im unfamiliar with poker and whether something is a straight, or a flush, or full house or whatever else thats not super intuitive
Thank you!
I just realized how many cuts there are in each video to make Tyler's stream of thought smoother than butter. Godlike editors as usual.
I noticed that whenever the Chip x Mult fires up, it's because your calculated hand is above the needed amount of chips to clear.
For example, if the requirement is 18,000 and your hand is above that, it fires up. But, if it's 18,000 and you currently have 9,000 chips saved, you still need 18,000 for the fire to go up.
As a note for the final boss, you can just discard stuff until you have the hand you want, then sell juggler
Honestly the best channel for game recommendations. With roguelikes specifically, it's more enjoyable because you can watch without spoiling any content, so I've absolutely loved seeing Balatro from you!
I even managed to score a 3,000,000 of my own!
Hey pro tip when it comes to straight flushes in this game: When you have the card that makes straights and flushes work with 4 cards you can make a 4 card straight which only has three of one suit and then throw in a random card of that same suit to make it a straight flush. The other random card does not need to be a part of the hand to count and upgrade the hand to a straight flush. There were many times this game where you could have done this and so this build is actually even better than you saw here.
Don't forget the Ace low straights also work for Superposition! I haven't confirmed if having an Ace anywhere else in a Straight also procs it or not, but it sounds like it might.
fun thing you can do with the 4 fingers! at11:29 you had the ace high straight flush with A-Q-J-10-9, since the QJ109 fulfill the straight requirement and the A Q J 10 are hearts and make a flush, don't know if you figured this out later in the video but it's really powerful to be able to spot!
edit: 15:35 too, "wrong king" nope! you still had the straight flush with A K Q J 4, the A Q J 4 fulfill the flush and the A K Q J fulfill the straight
I used to go to sleep happy and now I wake up happy. You are the absolute best.
I had a great setup. There's a joker that removes suits and just makes it red and black, another than is +15 for a flush, and another joker "the supernova" that adds a multiplier = to the amount of times that hand has been played. Getting +50 multiplier was great at the end.
This is becoming one of my favorite series of yours. Probably the only instance of a good “puzzle-rogue-like”. Really enjoying it!
One of my favorite jokers adds a multiplier for how many times you play a card, kinda fun for high card routes
A little tip. You don’t need to sell a joker on the final fight. You should have waited because you might have wanted to sell the juggler after using your discards to dig. This is not always the case, but is very important to keep in mind.
Basically there isn’t a reason to sell until you actually want to play a hand. This isn’t hugely important tho
20:00 FYI, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but if you sell the juggler it doesn't actually affect your hand size until next round, so it's a free sell in this fight
Something about your videos are so calming. Every time I come to your videos I just feel safe.
13:26 Yeah good templating with keywords and such would really benefit this game. It's one of those things Magic the Gathering does really well. They put a LOT of emphasis on wording things a particular way to make it unambiguous with most old cards "official" text being very different than what was originally printed on the cards (A problem avoided in digital cardgames where you can easily just change the words on cards)
It would be great to see some emphasis on the difference between triggering when a hand *Contains* a flush / straight / pair / whatever vs when it is scored as exactly a specific poker hand
The card that allows for 4 card flushes and straightens allows for 4 card straight + an ace. It also allows for 4 card straight with 3 being suited + any card of the suit for a straight flush
For the ace+straight=tarot/planet joker, the best cards to get rid of would be 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s, since aces can do a straight in either direction, including a2345
This game has captivated me, and the amazing editing helps it! Keep it up editors
These videos are pretty cool. This game is going to be insane once it fully releases.
The old demo was way more open (but yea it was basically like half of the stuff in the game)
Thanks for the content, Tyler. You're really the king of puzzles and deck builders, at least from where I'm sitting. I never really understood deck builders but you've definitely changed that for me, so thanks!
13:20 I'm pretty certain this game applies Joker buffs to any hand that "technically" contains their specified hand, e.g. the Joker that says "+10 Mult to Three of a Kind" will apply that buff to Full House and Four of a Kind
Although I know this doesn't apply to the To-Do List - e.g. if it asks you to play a pair a two pair won't work, so yeah the devs could definitely find a way to communicate this better
After watching these I feel like justice is insanely OP. I feel like even if glass cards always were destroyed it would be insane
This playthrough is the most fun I've had watching a video in a while
Dude, I love this game so much and this series is awesome. Have you considered trying seeded runs? There’s some insane stuff people have found leading to crazy scores if you get a bit lucky.
i hope that in the full game that other winning hands are buffed in some way so that flush house doesn't just reign supreme forever
You had a Royal Flush at 2:47 because of the Star Tarot card. Also isn't a 23456 still a straight flush?
Just so you know, an Ace, 2, 3, 4, and 5 is also a straight. It doesn't have to be Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10
a royal flush is basically a straight flush, but with the cards 10, J, Q, K, Ace specifically. it's also the rarest hand in poker by far
"One color supremacy" -Tyler 2023
please make more of this game, its so good
i think balatro is my favorite series of yours right now! every time the new upload is balatro it brings a smile to my face :]
“One color supremacy”
- Tyler 2023
- also some guy in the 1800s
Tyler sure is gonna flush me straight this video
Even I don’t know what I meant by this
@@Living_druid0911uh ok
I dont know if you'll still read this since it's past the 12 hours or whatever (lol). But I JUST got recommended the video where you talk about how you are moving your upload schedule by 12 hours, like, right now. I watched THIS balatro video an hour ago (and made a different comment) and came back because I thought you'd be more likely to see this comment. I would always watch your videos at night in the past but tbh I didn't even notice the change for the past 4 weeks, and when I first saw the update video i thought you had just posted that today before looking at when it was posted. So interestingly, I guess youtube *didnt* like the change. That being said I still have been getting the new uploads in my recommended (which is where I usually go to find videos, am still subscribed though) and I even went back and checked and I've seen all the videos since the update so far, so I really don't know whats up with that one in particular.
it was less of a straight flush build and more of a flush house build but it was fun to watch either way! GOOD VIDEO
4 fingers is one of my fav cards.
Love ya work Tyler.
jesus your editors are getting good at succinctly delivering info. took five seconds to convey half the info of the tutorial.
Cant wait for the next video, a Royal Straight Flush.
I fully expect the editor to grab the clip from No Game No Life with the woman reacting to Sora getting a Royal Straight Flush. It needs to happen.
you mean royal flush?
Yes, but for the joke@@Qyubij Royal Straight Flush is funnier.
@@Kaiimei well im not jnformed of this joke so the joke is on me
For the final boss, you don't need to sell the joker immediately, you just have to do it before cashing in. That way you can see first what you actually want to play before deciding on which joker to sell. You can even use the +2 cards joker to get a good hand, then sell it before cashing in.
A couple of tips i've learned.
- switching Jokers in the Blind stages themselves is actually a strat depending on what you want to get and when
- You can actually cheese straight flushes with the 4 Finger Joker, i'll let you figure out how
17:15 this deck formation is very satisfying to me
13:47 - It triggers on any hand that contains a straight, so straight fliushes do count.
I don't know why but seeing Tyler *almost* sneeze is fricking hilarious
Easier way to possibly make these Straight Flush/Flush House builds is to use Wild cards since the card would then be used as any suit
This is yet another game you've gotten me interested in. It's such a fun game, and I can't wait for yhe full release
in the Verdant leaf battle, remember, "All cards are debuffed until 1 joker is sold", you don't have to sell the joker at the start of the round, so juggler is actually the best joker against verdant leaf because you can just look for your 1 hit killer, and only then you sell it
Oh man i love the editing!
Loving the Balatro content and the clever strategies; but one thing that would be cool to attempt is beating the final boss without discarding a joker. I can confirm it is possible.
Did not expect that last hand clutch to be so strong
13:25 yeah rougelikes and rougelites are usually cursed with ambiguity on some of their item descriptions.
The editor gets an upgrade every video, props to them!
18:07 i was genuinely surprised because of how fast time passed i thought the game was really short then i checked the video time and it turns out his video was just too good
Something new I learned about this game today: if your deck runs out of cards, it isn’t reshuffled, you just lose the run 💀
Tyler you can make straights with a ace going A,2,3,4,5 that is why the card can be used you just only focus on the royal straight
I can’t wait to see what the full game will look like and how chaotic it will be compared to the demo
Haven't tested it, but maybe A2345 spawns planet card and AKQJ10 a tarot, it would make sense with the preview but it's probably random
Theres an odd interaction with straight flush and the 4 finger joker, if you had say a 2 a 3 a 4 and a 5 its a straight, but not a flush unless they are all the same suit, if say the 2 3 and 4 were clubs but the 5 was hearts, you can simply add any other clubs card to the hand regardless of if they matter for the straight to get straight flush, so 2 3 4 5 and king could make a straight flush even if one of the parts of the straight are not the correct suit
13:12 the one you're referring to (smeared joker) is rare, so I don't think it's smart using up rerolls trying to luck into one. That said, I haven't finished the video yet so who knows, maybe it works out
More Balatro videos, man I love them!
When a word or phrase is highlighted, it just has to meet that confition. I had a run where a joker gave +10 milt if there was a 3 of a kind, and it worked when I played a full house, and i think a 4 of a kind as well.
“Crazy runs” “so many flushes” what was this bowel movement I just watched?! 😂
My personal best is only 83K chips in one hand. You may not hit wheel of fortune as often as me but you do get a lot of massive hands with tarots
My parents would play poker (for fun, no money involved) with their friends, and every time someone got a flush, I'd flush the toilet.
ive loved so many of your rougelike videos and its so cool to watch you do insane at these kinds of games
15:38 You still could have played a royal flush here: AD, KH, QD, JD, and any diamond counts as a straight flush with Four Fingers.
Quick tip, although only 15 in so maybe you found it out already, with the 4 finger joker, you can do a straight flush by having 4 cards be a flush and a non flush completing the straight, so for instance
Ace of diamonds
King of clubs
Queen of diamonds
Jack of diamonds
10 of diamonds
That is a valid straight flush with that joker
Watching you play games like these has pushed me to play this demo more. Thanks for motivating me to play games more
This series is honestly amazing I gotta hand it to you Tyler you did it again !
the superposition joker is called that and works like tat because you can either get a 10-J-Q-K-A straight for it or an A-2-3-4-5
2:48
He already had the Strait Flush here. Just needed to use Star Tarot to turn that J and 10 into diamonds.
Sidenote the straight flush does proc that joker that gains chips when you play a straight. Although it’s not that strong until you build it up. Which once you hit the mid game you tend to win in a couple hands so if you get it before the first boss hand it’s worth it but not really after that. Super position is way better for scaling
I'd love to see you play Oneshot! ...Well, if you haven't already. I'd recommend it for it's story but the puzzles are also interesting.
Yeah I've been wanting a royal flush build!
FYI, Runner does in fact only accept Straights to upgrade (so no straight flushes). If a Joker says "contains", only then it accepts better versions of the hand.
Btw Wheel of Fortune can't replace effects on Jokers, it will always pick one that doesn't have any (or if all of them have effects, you can't even use it).
Just random info for anyone who might find it useful :L
no it does
in this case the wording is just bad
You play really well, man. Love the series, keep going!!
i really hope a peglin video comes soon, its my favorite series !!!
you know a game will be good when tyler makes 3 other-day videos in a row on it
Keep up the good work man, love seeing you start games like these
>"first straight flush build"
>Final build is searching for flush houses again
I don't know what else I expected
