[QUOTE="Zaphod77, post: 193371, member: 2101"] No, it's not. Dead bouncing is supposed to work, but not always be easy to trap after it. hold trapping is NOT reliable on most TAF games in real life. it should bounce off the slingshots if you try. that said flailing at the kickout is supposed to be a lot more reliable then it is. you are supposed to be able to cleanly thwack the chair kickout into the open vault, which never works in TPA. (edit. spoke too soon. it does work... on iOS! people who say the physics are consistent across platforms are lying!) Also, failing to use the thing mini flipper is supposed to result in a bounce off the divider and straight down the outlane at least 30% of the time. this is a large part of why the game is easier than real life. lack of spin physics is the reason for this. Those expecting not flipping the mini flipper to be safe in real life will get a VERY rude surprise! On the other hand the power has around a 20% chance of flinging the ball right back into the electric chair, and that never happens in TPA, so you take the good with the bad. [/QUOTE]
