[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 206654, member: 3745"] Yes, I break down everything methodically like that. What shots can be hit from which flippers, at what reliability and risk levels, for what rewards. That's the core of strategy and everything else is optimization from those inputs. On nudging in the center... It's just not part of my instincts and skill set. I trained my pinball brain on Pinball Fantasies, Epic Pinball, and Pro Pinball, all of which don't do anything noticeable to a ball on nudging in free space. So it never became part of my instincts. I know it would be helpful in TPA and I've seen what Mark Miwurdz does with it, but to me it's like trying to learn and speak a foreign language. Although it does make me remember that there are many players for whom [i]any[/i] nudging is as foreign as that to me. HRC is the other TPA table I've done bangbacks on, a few times. I also remember a death save once, on a screaming fast ball down the right outlane, I forget which table but remember it being just a novelty since I was going infinite anyway, so best guess is Medieval Madness or Whitewater.
