Message: <blockquote data-quote="invitro" data-source="post: 205235" data-attributes="member: 446">Because of the not-so-hot quality of the Season 4 tables in real life, I strongly suspected the TPA edition to be a rotten season, and so waited until a few weeks ago to buy it.  Boy was I wrong, or did I ever change my mind, or something, because I mostly loved Season 3 (WD and JY are not favorites), and I think I love Season 4 even more.  Farsight is on a real roll and this is why I hope they don't do TPA2, or revisit older tables, or do anything else to disrupt the current flow of one wonderful table per month.  I'm also changing my long-held opinions of many real-life tables, and appreciating non-1990s-WMS-DMD tables quite a bit more.Here are my rankings, although they are still in a lot of flux, as I still have lots to discover on each one.1. TPZ - one of many big surprises, the shots feel great, there is a lot of strategy, and I even like the music and silly humor.  I don't know if it will stay as my #1 though.2. TAF - the shallow flippers bugged me at first, but I'm fine with them now.  If this table has problems, I haven't seen them.3. Cyclone - a super surprise.  I played this table as a teen so I suppose I could have nostalgia for it, but it was negative nostalgia and I didn't want it to appear in TPA.  Well now I know it's a superior challenge with a superb playfield and rules that make every shot important to something.  I've done a 180 on this one.4. J*B - this is a real-life favorite and I expected it to be fun.  It's harder than I expected though.  I thought it would surely have trillion scores but I was probably being stupid... or Casino Run gives out much less EBs than I thought.5. PotO - another super surpise, I think most DEs are horrible, but this is a solid table, and the sound is much better than I would've thought.  I haven't played this one in real life.6. SST - the sound is rotten and hurts my ears, but it's a very rare creative Sega.  The physics feel bad though, more like a Season 1 table than a Season 4 one.7. ES - it's a fine recreation, but the rules are pretty flat for the real thing.Now if Farsight can make HS2 fun, I'll eat my hat.</blockquote>
