Looks great. Here are a few quick links and a video that I just found:

The Internet Pinball Machine Database: Blackbelt
Zaccaria-Pinball.com: Blackbelt

Blackbelt looks bloody good to me!

About the issue on Robot, where the ball doesn't get all the way through the hole to make the little robots rise, is that fixed as well?

Yep, getting the robots to rise is a bummer on an otherwise fun pin.

Black belt looks great. Can't wait to bash the roto target on that baby!

Are there any Zac tables with just dud artwork? I seem to love the look of every table. They are just so darn colorful and alive. Was the art all done by the same designer?
The ASK team also makes them look beautiful, which adds so much to the experience.

Now start the countdown clock for the release next Friday.

The flipper and flipper rubber colors are reversed on the vid. Which is correct? White flippers with red rubbers or red flippers with white rubbers?

agreed. All the Zaccaria tables just have a remarkable degree of "POP!" I hope Blackbelt plays as great as it looks. I'm finding with pretty much all of the Zaccaria tables that the games tend to be very short. I can't keep balls alive for any prolonged period of time and I'm almost never able to nudge myself out of trouble. I also find it really really tough to aim shots. I'm just never quite on target...

Have to agree, Blackbelt looks fun, and you do not see martial art (cheesy as they make them) themed tables.

Come to Android or PC soon please (whenever you can).

Yeah, the nudge system they use now is a miss for me too. I'd like a touch nudge system similiar to TPA's.

actually I don't mind the swipe nudging. That's actually my preference in TPA. I just find the swipe nudging in Zaccaria is pretty ineffective most of the time. I think nudging in TPA is too effective though...something between the two would be perfect.

 

[Clawhammer]

Never played Blackbelt. Looks fun.

I wish of all wishes they would release this for Android...come on guys...

Am I the only one who likes the Zaccaria swipe nudge implementation? What I find really convenient is that I only have to swipe(usually with the right thumb or finger, just touch and swipe). I don't need to think about it, there is no special area on the screen, I just nudge it. I can effortlessly save 70% of all center drains and passing the ball is pretty easy too. Changing the nudge scheme would almost break the game for me.

But there is no reason to oppose touch nudging as an additional option, of course.

The sooner this comes to Steam, the better

I really like that you can swipe anywhere. I think that's great. Unfortunately I can rarely save a centre drain for some reason. I swipe and nothing much happens. I probably just need more practice...

As previously noted, 6 or 7 of the generation 2 zaccaria games used the ruby red translucent flippers.
So far we don't have the correct flipper type for those. A previous note from ASK said they would make the red flippers someday.

Blackbelt uses the ruby red flippers.

Thanks apex.

Quick question for those of you who have been around for previous Zaccaria updates: do they usually include fixes that aren't documented in the release notes for the update or is it usually the case that they tell you exactly what's coming? Just curious...
