[QUOTE="PinballLizard (Mark Wyda), post: 135604, member: 4144"] First post! Hi. I'm in the top 20 on this table, offer my quick insights. First off, yes, extra ball is a good idea. You can often get ebs off the random award, or cannon shot awards and video modes, but getting the EB off whirlwind right ramp also lights the lock. Next do Multiball. Now basically, there's two ways to get your letters. You can stay in two ball, cradle in the left flipper, and just go for upper right flipper loops over and over. Or, you can go for there ball. Personally, I do a bit of both. Once I lock a ball for 3 ball, I use the timer to knock off a few left ramp, right loop combos, before I lock the second. Reason I do this is because there's always that chance that once in 3 ball, you insta drain two balls losing the whole thing. This happens quite a bit to me. I've learned it's best to just cradle up one. Ball on the left, let one drain, and shoot the right. Rack up as many ship letters as possible. Sometimes, if say I only got 3 full ships, I'll try going right back into MB, to get more. Why not? Your ships aren't going anywhere, so may as well get as many as you can before you go cashing them in. It's more satisfying and lucrative, and especially smart if you haven't picked up your extra ball yet. Extra ball seems to, if I'm not mistaken, regenerate every ball. Which is pretty unique. And while you'd think this would lead to astronomical scoring, truth is, hitting 5 consequtive right ramps can be tricky. That shot is a lot harder than it first appears. Other scoring opportunities include: Double Broadside. Don't ignore this mode! If you're good at making cknsecutive shots to the broadside, you can get 100 million out of this mode easy. I have never once lit a jackpot during multiball, I'm not even sure you can. I've only ever gotten jackpots on cannon and random awards. The points are in cannon shots there's just no two ways about it. Killing Polly gives you 2 million points but I don't so it 1 because I fear (maybe wrongly) that that stops the Polly awards which can sometimes award extra ball, and two because I'm compassionate and love animals. Poor Polly lol. Bonus multiplier can be big in this game, and for some reason that right loop is so satisfying to hit that right ramp. Some times I just go for that for a change of pace. I've had it up to about 7X iirc and a good 70million bonus. Overall I really, really like this table. It's unlike anything in the arcade IMO and I'm just very happy with the depth and strategy, and the sound package is just fantastic. The art and colors are really well done though I feel black Rose herself on the backglass should be, well, better looking lol. That's my only criticism of this board and it's super nitpicky.
