[QUOTE="Extork, post: 229126, member: 2241"] I know the big dogs are talking, but Peter Williams I've got my eye on you! And I do have a little bit of helpful information about SST. I've said it before, but it must've gotten steamrolled by other more important helpful tips. And this is going out to mistily IOS people, because I'm not sure if it's the same on all platforms. ...learn to get that ramp skillshot every time. It's more doable than you might think. (And not as 'small-fries as you might think). Plunge and then imidiately hold the left flipper. It'll start going back up the left loop. A little bit after it starts fallin, give it a nudge right, with the left flipper still held. This could give you a trap on the left to go for the right ramp, but don't let it. The ball needs to have a little bit of heat on it. And right before it comes to a rest, aim a little bit farther than the ramp itself. That's just something I think about when aiming for the ramp. But think about it. 10 mil every time you hit it. And you have at least 3 opportunities to get it. If you get good at that skill shot, that's a free 30mil. And not to mention for the extra balls. It CAN be done every time, and don't listen to the '5mil awarded on the DMD' it counts as 10 mil every time. Well good luck kids, and make it so. I've got some other pointers about SST.

Oh, and I barely ever use the 3rd flipper. It's just too distracting, even if you are trying to kill a bug for a higher value.
