[QUOTE="invitro, post: 245578, member: 446"] Kind of the same thing for me on PC. I smashed my tourney high in my 1st thru 3rd games (in this tourney) on MB, RBIoN, MM, EatPM, and WWater, and came close in my 1st on CC, but I'm at only 120M on FH, in 4 games, and my high is 143M, and my 1st game was ~40M. I've found that I can hit the jackpot pretty well (about 40%, I'll guess) if I hold the other ball on the R flipper, and focus hard on the upper flipper, waiting for the ball to come out of the Hallway. But if I don't focus that way, or if the other ball is not trapped, I don't have a chance (about 15%). Also: the jackpot shot is one of the infamous eight impossible shots: the "tuning" for those shots were changed about a year ago on PC. I can never remember if those changed were made to all platforms; if they haven't come to Android, or perhaps even if they have, you should read the strategy thread for Funhouse. I remember some specific tips on the jackpot shot there, including something from [MENTION=3745]vikingerik[/MENTION]. FWIW: I played the real machine tons and was very good on it, I remember routinely getting 100M on my first ball in league games. That was twenty years ago, but I think the difficulty of the FH shots in TPA is very close to that of the machine. The main difference seems to me to be that on the machine, a large fraction of my jackpots were made on non-direct or random falls into the scoop, while that hardly ever happens on TPA. [/QUOTE]
