[QUOTE="soundwave106, post: 213939, member: 3746"] There are some ways to get big points, but Lightning Storm really is the easiest way to get them. If you get in a rhythm with the central shot, you can rack up some big scores with not too much effort. To me, you can use both the spinners / bonus multiplier and multiball. Shooting the multiball ramp will work to a degree, however each shot is only 20K to 99K which is not terribly huge. The spinner can be built up to be almost as valuable, and the bonus multiplier can give some nice bonuses. So a score can be built up really quickly just by, well, shooting good in a fairly normal fashion. Obviously this is video pinball where repetitive "grinding" is much easier, and as a top player you are probably real good at the repetitive grinding. So if grinding the multiball ramp is safer for you, that's great. Real tables tend to not be so easy to "grind", of course. Also most people aren't as good at that grinding thing as seen by the tournament scores, so by "competitive" you mean "top 3". :p [/QUOTE]
