[QUOTE="Mayuh, post: 158537, member: 1152"] Play in control. Take your time. Cradle. Be calm (hardest part for me). Metallica: forget about the ramps. Sparky for fast points. Make sure you have some picks lit before starting sparky (they're on the ramp entrances), if you have all four during multiball, shoot the lit snake for double scoring and add a ball. Then get the sparky super jackpot. Other strategy is shooting the cross inline drops. Also an easy multiball. ST: start the mode, wait for the final shot. If you can, backhand the ramps, they're safer that way in case you miss them. Try not to start the mode via left scoop (really bad kickout sometimes), but under the upper flipper. Go for vengeance if you have the chance to. That all said, I finished last in this years IFPA championship - lol! :) But to be honest, after that experience of such an epic loss to the world's greatest players, I'm hardly nervous anymore when playing league or local tournaments... Thus playing better... ;) [/QUOTE]
