Can't wait to get a chance to play this.
The secret is to train your brain for the multiball pattern.
2 balls is easier so let one go. Trap one on the left and one on the right flipper.
Shoot the lock shot from the left, shoot trap door, shoot right ramp then to lock shot while catching other on right flipper. Shoot trap door ..... over and over and over and over and over.

Train your brain to do this without thinking about it then concentrate on your shots only.
If you mess up, catch the 2 balls and start again.

610M on vp9
47M on the real.
Was 20M first ball the other week when they turned off all machines to make an announcement. Was on a roll.

Will try it out tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion Toxy.

Guys this game needs some half retarded style of playing that i'm not going to learn.

 

It's 11:30! Time for instant drain :D

 

Playing this table for second day and still Grand Champion is factory score :D Slowly improving myself, yesterday i got replay at 7,447,000 :D

 

One thing is keeping me playing this table, Ed Boon voice :D I mean that dipswitch setting where you can choose some MK3 sound when Rudy's hit.

 

Excellent! :D

 

Have a nice day. And don't smoke crack. :D


One day i'll build Vitalik statue out of used AMD gpu's.

LOL, Yes, I agree that the added sounds make the table kind of unique from other releases. Nice idea from Wrd1972 that one ! There will always be bad rounds where you can't hit anything. What I use to do then is to take a break from the table. Sometime I play another table and get back trying, other times maybe leave the table for the next day. I don't know why, but, this has very often worked for me instead of "trying to hard" to get the high score there and then. For me at least, if I get frustrated, the play suffers from it.

 

Not getting GC on this table right away is nothing I would worry about - it feels a bit harder to get than on most machines.

 

Have a nice day yourself :-D

Yes, some days you don't get a good score. So I make a pause and play another table.

It's all a matter of training and a little luck.

Today my best score was only 16m. So it makes no sense. I try tomorrow.

I tried with Stella and I think I'm starting to get the hang of this game now. This is my personal best.

Will play a few more on Friday.

I've finally started to hit Rudy tonight without changing the upper flipper like you suggested Toxy. So, I was right - the brain will slowly adapt. Problem now had been getting the timing like Ded described right, I can't take my eyes off the ball that Rudy spits out. Greedy, want to trap them all :-o

Thanks for playing the table guys. Hopefully we can dial in the upper flipper. Sounds like what I recenly posted is working but your having to adapt. I know when I play the recent upload, I can hit Rudy 50% of the time which is damn consistent with the real pin. It is a very hard shot especially if the ball is traveling fast through orbit.

 

Regarding scores. There was a very good pinhead that played the $hit out of my real FH at an expo a few weeks ago. No kidding, this dude played nothing but FH. A good score was anywhere from 15M to 20M. Thats a very good score. His GC was 25M and it took a ton of plays top get that. Just saying this to give you an idea against the real machine.

 

Thal,

When you guys are done playing it this week. Please give me your thoughts on where that flipper needs to be set so I can make a new release.

 

Thanks agin. Hope you guys are enjoying it. It is a very difficult pin...no doubt. I can play my real FH and get a very good score and then the next game, its total crap. There is no mastering FH. In the end, it will kick your ass, just like the real thing.

I doubt that my score will be the best by the end of the day, but this is what I have for now. I have two images posted--one of the GC score and one of the rest of the scores. When I got the GC score yesterday--it was the exact same score (bummer) of my previous GC. What are the odds of that?!!!

Great table that in the past I didn't play all that much. These "tournaments" help you learn the table for sure! A new high score. And I see the #1 score is the same as the GC score. I didn't think it worked that way. Maybe not on other machines. In any event, here's my latest.

:love39: :love39: :love39: Bob ... I guess that means we should expect one of my favorite tables - TOM coming up? Awesome scores ! Congrats !


To wrd1972 - when we talk physics, I would not change anything from your E version. It simply feels more natural than the small tweaks me an Joey played with. No trapped balls from the shoot in guess hundreds of games. I simply love the table ( obviously since I chose it.)  Enjoyed every game during this week ,and will continue to enjoy it.

 

And btw. My higest score ended up just over 21m, I don't know how many times I sweared at either Rudy or the fact that I couldn't hit the jackpot there after. Right now you have to get 10.2000++ for a replay or get more than 18.9 M to get your name on the board.

Just in time before midnight.

After I see BobAlbright's fantastic score, I have to play.

After two hours of playing I have a wonderful game with 45m at the first ball (OK, with some extraballs :dblthumb: )

And so I have a new personal highscore. And it's really, that the brain has to learn. After these two hours of playing, I nearly shoot Rudy 3 of 5 times and get many multiballs.

But I don't have the multiballs long enough. It's hard with these elastic physics to take the balls under control and so one or two of them drains early.

Now I go to bed. I have my daywork done. :db:
