Table of the Week Club...Week 43: SAFE CRACKER

[shutyertrap]

Inspired by the fact time seems to have been stolen from me, this weeks table is Safe Cracker. Was so busy playing the real thing this past weekend and doing holiday parties, TotW kinda slipped through the cracks and I'm only just now remembering! Not that anyone noticed. This does mean we'll be playing right up to the tourney, rather than have that week gap. So use the few extra days we'll get with this one to collect a magic token or two.

How do you score points at this game? I've had horrible attempts so far...

I'm surprised of how much I dislike this table. Should take some time to figure out the rule set for it, to make it a bit ore enjoyable.

I either last too long on one ball or it's out-lane city for me.

Have to finish up playing the the rest of the tables for the latest TPA tournament or just start working on Safe Cracker.

From league this past weekend...

 

[Johni3w6]

Get Vault Multiball and keep it going for a long time. That is the only answer. Jackpots score 150K+ and a good Vault MB can score 3 million. Nothing else on the table comes close. Ignore TNT multiball, it feels good but scores crap. Without Vault MB, you won't get much more than a million or so.

Huh. 2 out of the 3 tables revealed for TotM aren't available on my platform. I better go dust of my pom poms so I can get involved in the tournament

Finally broke 6 million last night so I'm getting there

 

[Johni3w6]

Finally had a good game got over 2 million in the regular mode and earned a token.

Just finished up the Assault the Vault and got over 6 million.

Wow this game has been kicking my ass since its release. I know from the PA tourney with it, that I am far behind the norm for good players. Guess I will work on that vault multiball, is the trick to waste as little time as possible getting there or is it really just luck?

For me so far I try and get the balls locked and vault multi all as soon as I can.
Not a big fan of the limited time on this table.
Getting use to it though.

 

[Shulk]

So will AotV be legal in this tourney? Or do we have to play just the original game?

 

[shutyertrap]

Original only

 

[ZREXMike]

Hmm...on every platform except Xbox 360. Microsoft has Farsight holding off on the 360 to try & coerce the sale of XB1. I noticed a big selling point of the XB1 is you can play your 360 games on it. Why not just play your 360 games on...your 360!

This does make me wonder why the big footdrag for the 360 on the latest season, what do you think?

 

[shutyertrap]

Could be a Microsoft thing. They shut down the original Xbox quick, might be doing similar with DLC now, trying to push the Xbone.

 

[ZREXMike]

I thought so too. Even Ouya, which can't have the customer base the 360 has, has tables not on 360.

Edit: Gotta admit, TAF looks good on Ouya.

 

[Stuzz]

Speaking of 360... Why is it a choice of platform on the score entry form, but not listed in the stats in the results thread?

Because no one inputting that they played the tournament on the 360

Hmm...that would be a good reason.
