I'm really curious about the display layout and the animations, can't wait for the gameplay reveal streams

the same guy who coded IMDN and JP. I believe Keith figures out rules and he makes them happen.

My hope would be for co-op to be a unique experience that changes the rules even slightly to accommodate multiple players and give you something different. We shall see going forward.

Im kind of wondering how useful the upper flipper will be if that right ramp is shootable from both of the bottom flippers as well. That just leaves the side loop shot as upper flipper exclusive.

I don't expect it to be like Hobbit's upper flipper or anything. But I guess it will likely just come down to how the code/rules implement it. Like if looping that Upper Flipper to right ramp is important to some rules feature.

I look forward to some full gameplay video to answer these vitally important questions.

But the lower flippers can hit those two as well, no?

Yeah. I have full confidence in the code. Im as confident in the code as I am when I hear ZY is the artist on a game.

Its hard to say how "staging" the balls will work in the rules, but the mech does look to be able to handle 3 separate balls. It seems like it will play into the way that any Gem Quest (modes?) will be be able to be a multiball. Maybe X number of revolutions then hit the sanctum target to lift the disc to lock a ball, lock up to 3 balls before starting a Gem Quest? I wouldn't be surprised if the white gem looking shots around the playfield light the Gem Quests.

Looking forward to the gameplay reveal so I can stop speculating based on images and start analyzing based on video!

I'd guess it's just a single coil that is linked to all 3 of them. It pulls in long enough for a ball to roll by and then it releases, and then does it again until the right number of balls are where they should be. Just a guess though.

That's a great idea, it would definitely step up the whole "Challenge" thing they've started doing.

I agree, I could definitely live with it, but there's gotta be some sort of Marvel Universe collectible that makes sense in their place. Especially when the Ultimate Wizard Mode is based around them. At least from a theme integration perspective, it seems strange.

On the Prem stream I believe the answer was that you shoot the right (Gauntlet) ramp and the ball will get trapped by the post above the upper flipper. this will give you time to change gems before releasing the ball.

In addition, I believe starting a gem quest will work the same way.

Edit: just looked at a playfield picture and you're right about the insert. hopefully it all makes sense on the pro.

Edit2: alright, it turns out you qualify it by shooting the pim target when kit and THEN shooting the right ramp. mystery solved!

There should be an option to turn off the persistent ball save too, that would force you to use a few more flips to gain control.

yeah. it doesnt seem quite right. a Kraken Mb equivalent to sauron would round it out nicely. but I guess the idea is that Cable takes care of the Kraken while Deadpool is dealing with the other 2.

The rationale for making you shoot the PRO Capt Marvel shot more times, is that the PRO shot is easier to successfully make and can be hit from a backhand. So even though you MAY get the PREM shot in one try, it's not a guarantee. Id say it's likely that the PRO code is designed specifically to require 2 shots, or 1 perfect shot.

You could always add some lubricant to the spinner, or adjust the switch tension to try and make the spinner "more spinny".
