Skill Shot Goal

[Mechanix77]

I can complete endless sets of Wizard goals for various tables, but I'll be damned if I can't hit this stupid skill shot.

It's driving me insane!!!

try nudging up or down before the ball get to the hideout and if you miss restart and try again.

Yeah, this is essentially bugged in the TPA implementation. The skill shot is a LOT easier in real life than in TPA.

On the iOS version I have no problems getting it, but on the PS4 version it's impossible. Will try that nudging idea.

Plus the fact that the plunger does not go all the way down (on the PS3 version, I don't know for the PS4)

It goes all the way down on the PS4 version. You need to be at approx 50% to hit that area, but no matter what you do (ie 49% it doesn't make it around the corner, 51% it has too much momentum and goes all the way around), you just can't make the shot. Still haven't given nudging a go, I think I should aim for the 49% and nudge it gently around the bend. Plus if I make it, then I will have a trophy not many have!

try to achieve at ball1 if you miss reset! You will get it. NUDGE HARD!

Nudging up when the ball is right of the center helps. (at least on Steam and Android). I can do it regularly for 1M points.

I got the skill shot on PS4, but now finding it impossible to get Frenzy to complete the standard goals.

It's sooo easy to get on the PC version; technically the same strength as in the Williams Collection.

This is why I dislike the standard/wizard goals distinction. I've achieved the wizard goals (some of them several times over - this is my favorite table in TPA), but none of them count because I can't make that @#$%! skill shot.

Maybe I'll try nudging. I wouldn't have thought that would have helped on a plunger shot.

 

[EccentricFlower]

For the record, I finally got this today (completely by accident - I was in the middle of a very hot game and wasn't trying for it other than only plunging halfway).

Experiment with the marks on the plunger, & see which mark results in completion. Doesn't always work, but gives you some reference point to shoot from.
