Tournament Leader is a real Pinball Wizard

[Carl Spiby]

Make sense, if another ball is in the subway, pushing against the ball in the kicker. But I'm surprised if FS actually bothered simulating stuff that goes on below the playfield with such accuracy.

Try it on FH, shoot multiple balls into the mirror.

Yeah it always happens in Funhouse with 2 balls in there, have to be prepared as the duff kickout ball can catch you unawares and drain.

That's what makes it great

I'm aware that it happens
Just wondering wether FS just programmed a bit of intended randomness into it, or if they actually simulate the ball lying there below the playfield, with another ball next to it.

I think it's unintentional, the balls are probably 'clacking' against each other in the scoop.

But the fact that this is happening unintentionally, would mean FS did this thing right.

Just watched the vid, amazing guy. I got quite choked watching it but I'm a big softie. I'd kill for that monster bash in my games room!

 

[Carl Spiby]

Really happy for him, but the other guys weren't exactly understanding of his condition.

Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies.. to name a few.. it started with an table on my commodore 64 called Midnight.. played the crap out of that game..

Congratulations with your performance and 1st place, Roy!

Those Amiga & C64 tables ring a bell.
The table you mean on the 64 is David's Midnight Magic and there also was Night Mission for the C=64 in the same era.

I was 1st on the leaderboards till the last 5 or 6 days of the tournament. Ended 13th.

Did you play most scores on Xbox or iPad?
I only played on iPad, but seems to have reached some edge there. Nudging is hard, nearly impossible. Then again, Xbox is far behind on release schedule.

Top gespeeld in ieder geval!

Grtz,

There's no Xbox tournament yet, and half of the tables aren't out yet.

Yeah, that su<ks. And it also depends if you're in Europe or the US (PS3 / Vita)

OK, so the tournament was only for ? iOS and Android? or also PS3?
On mobile, what are your nudging techniques? Currently on iOS only touch the top-of-the-screen does work. Shaking does not work ( it did before, but was not very good at it). Sliding the screen also not working.
Might be easier on small touchscreen, like an iphone or ipod, than on a iPad 10'' screen?

I play with my thumbs half way up the glass so I dont have to reach far to nudge.

No tournaments on the ps3 either. Maybe soon.

This. Especially in portrait, there is no other way to go. Works perfectly and makes sense specially on the tables with the ball launch buttons (MM, STTNG, etc.)
