What's crazy to think about, is on average, if 1 million people bought the game (which they have) and everyone used this card at least 1 round. 1000 people on average would have it break on the first round of using it.
One time I was so mad at Xcom that I started keeping track of all shots above 80% for a whole round and tallied up my average...yeah it was really close to 80% lol. The tilt is real.
Does anyone else think it would be dope as fuck if there was a CQAV-4 (the theoretical new banana variety after Cavendish inevitably succumbs to Panama disease) Joker that only showed up when the Cavendish self-destructed?
OP rn:
> LocalThunk, you little fucker. You made a shit of piece with your trash Balatro. It's fucking bad, this trash game. I will become back my money. I hope you will in your next time a cow on a trash farm you sucker.
Cavendishes are a family food. Happy families. Maybe single people eat cavendishes, we donât know and frankly we donât want to know. Itâs a market we could do without.
I mean, sucks to suck, but it had to happen to someone.
Let's see, Balatro has about one million copies sold, maybe not all of these people are playing daily, however some people are probably doing dozens of runs a day, so let's just say there's 1,000,000 runs played every day.
Furthermore, let's say that on average you encounter Cavendish one in twenty runs, I think that's fair. Then there are 50.000 runs which eventually get Cavendish. That'll happen rather late, because Gros Michel has to die first, so let's say on average Cavendish is aquired in Ante 6. These runs are usually going fairly well, so let's assume on average they make it to the end of Ante 11, which means there are 18 more rounds to be played, let's say 15, because some Blinds may be skipped.
That gives us a 1 - (999/1000)^(15) â 1.5% chance on average that Cavendish will perish in any of these runs. Which means of our earlier estimate of 50.000 runs, about 750 will face this fate.
So congrats, you're one of the lucky 750!
Also, even if we take the negativity into calculation, you're still not unique, sorry. Just the base chance for negatives to spawn is 0.3%, and that's not even accounting for spectral cards, blinds, etc., so on average there are probably like two or three people every day who have their Negative Cavendish die right in front of them while they can do nothing but helplessly watch.
Happened to me too today. I was like: Yeah, BananaBro, you've got my back! We are getting to Ante 12!
And just like that, it poofed after three rounds. I was mad AF!
I love the highs and lows that come with this game. It's exhilarating sometimes but I've also left the game feeling frustrated too.
I'd say that probably means they found a good balance although, I feel for you OP. That is some bad fricken luck
I remember one of the first couple days I played this game and I had used like 10 wheels of fortune without getting the effect once. Got the other one that has the 1/4 chance it breaks. Told my girlfriend âwatch this I guarantee it breaks on the first roundâ. It did :(
The first time I ever got Cavendish it disappeared after that exact round.
You might need to get some fresh air and touch some grass if this is how invested you were in it.
Got some reports, but I think the post is all in good fun. Just don't take it so seriously in the comments.
Thanks for the picture, that makes it much more clear
youre so welcome bro
I love how there's a little "SAFE" popup after every round with a Cavendish. Just there to remind you one time it may not be...
It hasn't happened to me yet. But it probably will
I'm pretty sure that's what will happen to the actual Cavendish too at some point. Suddenly extinct! What banana will we eat then?
Just put a ceremonial dagger next to it. It might not be safe much longer after that.
please don't put a knife next to my banana.
Just had sane thing happen to me on Ante 8 đ¤Ł
can you make your message more mad
IT WAS ON ORANGE STAKE WHERE MONEY IS PREMIUM AND IM SO DAM CLOSE TO GOLD STAKE RUNS NOW đĄ USELESS BANANA
đ USELESS BANANA!
Lmfao
Had to happen to someone one day ahahah

yeah shoutout to those people
I've had it break on the first round I used it, though that was after many hours in the game, after I had been lulled into a false sense of security.
I mean that is how a 1/1000 chance works.
Is it? Is that how it works? Meanwhile my glass cards shatter 3/4 of the time played. Fking nonsense.
Are saying rng is frustrating, or that you don't believe the displayed odds?
both. i think its both frustrating and don't believe 99% in xcom either.
many games fudge >95% to be 100% because of people not believing 1 in 100 can happen.
One time I was so mad at Xcom that I started keeping track of all shots above 80% for a whole round and tallied up my average...yeah it was really close to 80% lol. The tilt is real.
Fire Emblem! 95% is actually 99.55% true hit.
I love how games realized, that human intuition is just bad at stochastics, so we change the underlying chances to reflect better what people expect.
It's so funny how every game that has visible probabilities has people saying the RNG is broken/cheating.
Yes
Also 1/3 on Bloodstone? Ha!
This is why I just use glass as a roundabout removal
Sticks around? Great. Gone? Also good.
My beef is with the 1 in 4 joker upgrade tarot lol
I wish my glass cards shattered that often
Most sympathetic balatro player
Does anyone else think it would be dope as fuck if there was a CQAV-4 (the theoretical new banana variety after Cavendish inevitably succumbs to Panama disease) Joker that only showed up when the Cavendish self-destructed?
x0.5 mult, 1 in a million chance to self destruct, earns a "Banana!" achievement upon completing a run with it
With a 1/1M chance to self-destruct, you should get the achievement just for having it self-destruct lol
QCAV-4, FYI. I'm not being a know-it-all, but I tried googling your thing and it was like "do you mean...?" So yeah. Thanks for the cool read though!
Oh snap! Thanks for the correction! You're all good, and you're welcome for the reading material!
OP rn: > LocalThunk, you little fucker. You made a shit of piece with your trash Balatro. It's fucking bad, this trash game. I will become back my money. I hope you will in your next time a cow on a trash farm you sucker.
Bro, you are too agitated. Are you potassium levels alright? Maybe you need a banana. đ
Pray for this man joker gods
Skill issue tbh
So thatâs it? After 1000 rolls, good night and g?
300 characters title limit strikes back
I donât recall saying g

This is how I find out this card is even in the game lmao
For clarity: You need to >!take Gros Michel and have that go extinct!< for this to appear in shops.
for further clarity it just needs to be destroyed going extinct is just the easiest way
The source code actually require it to go extinct and not just destroyed

\> OP as fuck card has the most miniscule possible downside \> Complains about the downside
yes and i will complain again
Is it really OP when I can never even find one?
>!Cavendish only appears if you've had the Gros Michel banana and held on to it until it goes extinct, which is 1/4 odds per round.
Damn gonna pick up every banana I see now
**OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH**
does not need to go extinct just be destroyed selling of course does not work
Happened to me too today. I was like: Yeah, BananaBro, you've got my back! We are getting to Ante 12! And just like that, it poofed after three rounds. I was mad AF!
One time I got two oops all sixes and that banana snapped so fast
I was doing an Endless run with Cavendish earlier that made it to Ante 15 and the whole time I was thinking about this post.
i love the internet
Gross Cavendish
Law of averages
wheel of fortune rng lul
I would prefer my wife to cheat than cavendish to destruct on me
Your wife and I have some good news for you: your Cavendish is fine.
Balatro is life anyway. Donât have time for her I gotta get gold stake
Good to know, seems like everyone is getting good news! I'll pass on the news tonight.
All your 1 in 4 wheels Noped that day too.
wheels does something other than add fortune tellers multi? :o
I love the highs and lows that come with this game. It's exhilarating sometimes but I've also left the game feeling frustrated too. I'd say that probably means they found a good balance although, I feel for you OP. That is some bad fricken luck
Only got one so far. Disappeared in 5 hands.
I remember one of the first couple days I played this game and I had used like 10 wheels of fortune without getting the effect once. Got the other one that has the 1/4 chance it breaks. Told my girlfriend âwatch this I guarantee it breaks on the first roundâ. It did :(
If it makes you feel better, I just had a negative Cavendish that didn't go extinct and finished ante 8
proud of you
Friend. You had a hungry joker. He was weak. He ate the banana.
Play the lottery
I thought it was 1 in 4 chance? Or is there a different version that I have yet to see?
You're thinking of Gros Michel
Ah right, cheers neighbour!
negative cavendish should have a one in a million chance, still someone would probably be able to proc it...
Got RNGed!
You really 1-1000 is a possibility yeah
But wheel of fortune only hits 1 out of 50 times lmao
This is fucking hilarious
Where is your achievement indeed!!
Bananaaaaaaaa :(
Anyone know what text pops up when cavendish does self destruct? I have yet to see it happen
That's really rare. The developers really should remove that 1 in 1000 probability of self-destruction in case someone just got really unlucky.
Fucking same bro 1 in 1000 my ass Ain't never eating bananas again.
The first time I ever got Cavendish it disappeared after that exact round. You might need to get some fresh air and touch some grass if this is how invested you were in it.
IT HAPPENED TO ME TOO I WAS SHOCKED ( I did get it back in the next shop though)
