Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I'd love to see a 170 million point game in 20 minutes to find out what I'm doing wrong. As far as I was concerned the stuff you listed is what I've been doing.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Maybe I'm just losing track of time but I could swear my restarts take far more time than my big games. I would try to time a big game but I restart way too much.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

:lol:

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I don't see either happening for me, so it may as well be 1 million :lol:

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Well, on spidey it's VERY easy to get into a mode where each ramp comes in starting at 200k, plus 200k per after that. So hit 10 shots and you're up to 2M per ramp, plus all the ones you got up to that point. Get in a nice rhythm (and add in the Goblin Multiball and you're well on your way.

I think I've figured out Wolverine now too - just have issues hitting the saucers on demand which would help a lot. But the ramps can be used for fastball and rage modes, as well as a 2 ball multibal action. The Hand section is a quick way to nail down a few million points in a VERY short time, as is the double claw combo.

Still working on cracking Blade though...

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Are the ramps a lot harder to hit when in a mission, or does it just seem that way to me?

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Which I do. You can only do that mode (the second of the Webslinger modes) once per ball though right? (I know you can activate it via other random methods as well, so maybe that's a factor.) So once you do it one time you're just spinning your wheels till the next ball. (Assuming you got the 3rd Webslinger level with the Extra Ball and the process resets.) It just seems from my experiences that there's no way to even get close to 150K+ in 20 minutes.

Of course maybe those are just phenomenal atypical runs too. Do you guys get up to that level often?

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Other modes get points too though, the MJ house jump is easy, the Doc Ock is good for 500k per shot, the goblin, mysterio's stupid swap mode...the kicker is combining multiple modes at once and having multiball a lot.

As that other jerkface said, games when you're at our level of play are either good, or restarted quickly. I do get over 100M quite frequently on Spiderman, but then it becomes a mind game and I fuck up even the easiest shot.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

And with that, I no longer even care to have this conversation any further.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

:lol: I did that for your benefit. :lol:

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I was trying to figure out how to combine your name with at least 2 other folks that came to mind instantly talking that bullshit, but I didn't want to make anybody cry. Other than me obviously.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Brianluverandonions?

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

FYI..listening to you talk about your prowess all sounds like this to me.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

ok well screw you for trying to help.

You: Wah wah score. wah wah low score. wah wah Assburgers.
Me: Oh, well here's how I managed that score. Hope it helps! <blah blah>
You: Wah Wah, that's what I do. Wah Wah. Poor Me.
Me: Suck it.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

87+ mill on Wolverine :)

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

On Blade the ball will sometimes go down some weird passage on the left. What is that passage and what are you supposed to do? It looks like there are kickers you can trigger to bump the ball out to a rail.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

if it zooms in on it, use the flippers to punch the ball through where the light is blinking.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Nice! Suck it Spiderbite!

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Not even sure what i did. I was like in a trance on the one ball and everywhere i wanted it to go it went. Don't think i could do it again if i tried :lol:

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Whatever you did, I'm sure it only too 10 minutes or so. That's what the talented do.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Well that i aint :lol: I'm sure it was longer than that. I was worn out on the last ball and lost my focus. Anyway i see its 80th on Live which is by far the best i've ever reached on any table.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Nah, he's just Canadian. If he was playing with mittens on the score would've been even higher.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Also, yes I am a dick and sent my new Spider Man score to Superfro and Spiderbite.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I have all communication from you on Live blocked.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

:up: Me too!

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Thanks!

Every time my score starts creeping near a new high my eyes start watering because I find myself not blinking. :lol:

Your guys' scores on Spider-Man are just unreal. I spent a good 45 minutes trying to hammer away at beating my 87 mil... no luck yet. I couldn't even beat superfro. :(

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I played for about an hour last night mostly on Wolverine. I really like that table, though I have yet to beat Saber tooth. I wish more tables had skill shot bonuses.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I'm trying to force myself to not play it again until this weekend. I seemed to have developed a terrible eye twitch in the past day or so, and I'm completely convinced it's from drying out my eyes staring at the screen for hours playing this goddamn pinball.

It's also gotten to the point of infiltrating my dreams, and when I'm seeing that shit in my sleep, it's time to take a break. :(

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Thought all the tables since FX2 debuted did.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I'm playing on a small monitor and am desperately hoping the eye watering will end when I upgrade to a larger screen.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Do they? Maybe I only noticed it in Wolverine because they zoom in on the foot before you launch.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I would like to but I do not have spunkmonkey on my friends list. I only suck it for friends!

Please don't tell me you are still playing on that 13" monitor.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I think it is a 17" monitor! :lol:

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Good lord man. I'm on a 50". I'm assuming my ball is the size of your entire screen. :lol:

How has your head not exploded?

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

jeez dude. that was, what, five years ago? I thought it would have died by now.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

It almost has. I have total technology paralysis and every time I go to investigate upgrading to an LCD HDTV I just get confused with the ridiculous amount of options and how two units that look similar on paper will have dramatically different prices. :lol: I'm also using an old home theater in a box that I bought used from a buddy like 10 years ago. :lol:

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I had yet to beat your Spidey score before telling you to suck it, just part of the almost daily ritual of one of us beating the other. I'd take it back, but the damage has been done.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Certainly all four Marvel Tables and Secrets of the Deep have Skill Shots. Not sure about the other three FX2 tables. Holding the Right (?) Trigger will pan the camera and briefly display the skill shot before you launch your ball.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Raptr says I've put 16 hours in on Pinball FX in the past 7 days. Good lord.
