[QUOTE="invitro, post: 227870, member: 446"] I'm trying to loop the Raceway for the EB. I usually hold up the right flipper, and the ball bounces into the kickback targets - this seems the best way of lighting the kickback too. It comes back for a nudge and/or dead pass to the right flipper and another shot with a bit of time for another Raceway. This method is a little dangerous though, probability of a right outlane drain is pretty high. So I've been trying to do this during a multiball. So I am choosing Lock from the skill shot, which I think might be good anyway, as it takes two shots to get a lock versus one to start a Challenge, and the other awards seem quite a bit lesser. I've gotten the Raceway EB that requires four Raceways to advance about three times and that's my highest. I do shoot the right ramp to end that Challenge (Snow?) quickly. I've been sometimes trying to time out the others. Some seem to be worth a decent amount of points though. I can't shoot the Tube well and it feels dangerous, so I haven't gotten much there. Except Video Mode seems to be nice points. I've mapped Anaheim and Daytona but they're probably wrong. I don't even know if the patterns are fixed. The third Summit Award is Super Spinner and might be worth collecting (the 2nd is lite VM). The Summit Awards reset at the beginning of every ball. I try to stack Payback Time with a multiball. Or rather, I try to get Payback Time a shot away, then start a multiball, then start Payback Time. :) Remember that the Race EB and the MYM EB lights go out at the end of a ball. Jump This is lit by completing the Cliff, which is done by hitting what I called the kickback targets above. You want this as an outlane ballsaver, and you'll get it if you collect Raceways and bounce up as above, or some other way. It takes more hits on the standups each time though. The points are definitely in the big three multiball modes. I must have gotten my 51B on the real machine by looping the 200M in MYM. No Limits seems nice when the award gets high... the rules say the max is 70M and my max is around 47M. I think in Fear Fest the Super Jackpot shot is the same as the regular Jackpot. I'm think that I get the Super Jackpot fairly often without making the jump, but I could easily be wrong about that. My last and best game is 29.6B, which is currently #2 (the First Loser) behind Tarek at 96.9B. On that game my first ball was 8147M, with three EB's collected. I played poorly after that though. My final bonus was: 42 Challenges for 420M, 39 Jumps for 195M, and 5400 meters for 54M, a 669M total bonus. It seems that a major factor toward getting a high score is having the patience to time out the Minor Challenges, or at least finish them without taking any shot that's remotely risky. I didn't like this table at first but I've become a fan. Only the sound, the "crowd noise" or whatever that horrible white noise is, and repetitive music, bother me. And the physics feels off. But the difficulty seems right on target. I'll be making another run this evening. [/QUOTE]
