What game has a better flow? AV pro, Avatar, or Xmen?
I like fast games with flow so just trying to see.
Thanks.

XMen Pro, hands down. Nothing like a Cyclops-Storm-Iceman-Beast-Rogue combo on the other two. Add in the chaos of the two magnets and you've got a really fast, flowing game...

There are SO many combo shots in X-Men, it's crazy...When you combo Beast -> Storm -> Iceman, you feel like a champ.
I'd have to agree X-Men is probably the way to go for flow. Avengers also has some amazing flow if you get combos going, but the shots are tighter and harder to link together. If you do get a nice combo going though, it's an amazing feeling. For Avengers the LE has the advantage because of the Hawkeye crossover leading to Black Widow and Iron Man combos. For X-Men from a pure flow standpoint, the pro probably has the advantage as you never have to worry about Nightcrawler blocking the ramps to keep the flow going. I personally think the LE toys are worth losing that little bit of flow for, but I understand that many do not agree with that.
Avatar is a great game, but I guess I never think of it as being a very flowy game.
And out of that three, another vote for X-Men. I've never been good at X-Men, but when I watch a good player on it, the game sings.
Xmen if you can stomach the brutally horrible call out's and Avengers isn't too far behind, would rather play Avatar.
I've owned an Xmen LE, Avengers LE Hulk, & an Avatar LE. Xmen by a long shot. Combo system is really cool. But I'd rather own Avatar LE. For me It's a better game. I don't know if that helped or not.
Prob X-Men cuz it has more shots, 3 flippers, 3 ramp shots....but don't discount Avatar. Less stuff - but, there is almost nothing that ever stops the ball. No scoops, no locks...just the pops & the magnet hold for Multiball start. Pretty much constant speed and action.

While all that is true, it doesn't really equate to flow. It keeps you on your toes though!

I agree. Xmen first, avatar second, avengers last. But avatar does have a lock that stops the ball (link). And the pops hold it a long time.
Wow I must be in the minority here but I would say AVLE over XMEN and AVATAR; for me xmen and avatar just do not have that much flow; the rogue and blackbird shot in xmen kill the flow for that game.
Having owned all three in pro form.
AVpro best package code and great different layout
Xmen Best layout just call outs killed it for me
Avatar Great looker but that's as far as it got for me.

Oh yeah, whoops...forgot about the lock! I guess it's been too long since I've played it.
