    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    Thanks for the great advice V.E. It does take time to learn how to play conservatively. Especially when it goes against your nature. I'm learning to be more patient and to choose shots more wisely.

    (An attempt at) The top 40 TPA players from leaderboard scores

    Xenon can definitely be frustrating. Seems easy then like you said a couple of quick drains and it's all over quick. The top 10 scores are really hard to get. They are grinds. So many good players with great scores. A lot of tables have a big gap between say the top 15 and top 10. Tables like...

    Beauty work as always invitro. It's like Xmas eve waiting for your list to come out every month. Man do I ever want to crack that top 20 though.

    In MM you could somewhat equate castle multiball with strobe multiball in AFM. Except that castle multiball is not a random reward given but activated and can be repeated. I mean this in the way that castle multiball gives an extra ball and that maybe some don't realize that and also how high...

    I've found the best way to collect artifacts in STTNG is via the video mode. There are certain missions such as Q and Battle that are drain monsters. Search the universe can be good if you play the shots in order as you can collect 2 artifacts when played well. Selecting light lock or video mode...

    We had this same problem with in mobile when the tourneys first really got going. A few people implied that my scores and a few others were maybe not legit. Gotta say it was a bit shocking to be accused of cheating and it almost put me right off this game. I guess maybe I'm naive but I tend to...

    Congrats Toolnit and Gus. I guess you 2 fighting it out worked for me. I was in 4th 6 hours before tournament close and ended up 3rd. I'll take it.

    Mobile is the only platform without current scoring/standings. Maybe due to it showing HRC as a table.

    Just a point about the 2x scoring in Rbion. There is nothing lucky about it. It must be setup. Temple gate must be open(right ramp shot) then the center ramp must be shot with the ball going to the right lane 3 times to activate 2x scoring. This is only done after completing all the continents(...

    In Rbion,definitely 2x scoring is very important. As invitro said. It doubles your score on the tour bonus. I won't start a tour without having 2x scoring active. Never thought about how significant the left ramp in ToM is. Now that I do I guess it does need to be shot at a lot. Left ramp to...

    Ive never played TPA on PC only on iOS. Therefore I cannot comment on the differences in difficulty or nudging or any other subtleties that are apparent between the the platforms. Having said that, for me vikingeric is the defininative authority here regards to gameplay and knowledge of the...

    iOS tourney is over with Gus crushing everyone as usual in the gold division(by about 50 points). I dropped to a disappointing 6th. Out of the top 5 for the first time in 7 tourneys. Really great scores this time round. No suspect scores. I'm with Tarek though. Just couldn't get into...

    I realize us iOS people are high jacking this thread but I just had to say Thanks for the Bigfoot jackpot tip in Rbion. Hadn't caught on to this before and just put up 153M for temporary first place(I'm sure Gus will crush this by Friday). For you invitro. Table standings in Gold iOS Rbion...

    This is the same for me also. The HOF points for each table is correct but the HOF leaderboard is not(the leaderboard you see after the Xenon high scores).
