Hi Allen,
Looks like you've put a lot of work in to making this, thanks for that.
I've got a Pro (so there are some slight differences regarding the CM ramp). e.g. the mind gem placed on it awards just a single spin
My strategy differs from all your suggestions, the most significant being I make sure I have the mind gem on CA before going in to battle Royale to guarantee getting the SJpt once it's lit with the action button, also placement of gems prior to Soul Gem, which I generally get to with only 1 gem collected - but that's the beauty of this game so many options (720 different combinations of gem placements for example!)
I haven't been able to watch all of the vid, and have only jumped in quickly - but the first thing i noticed at 18 mins while you have the ball trapped and are explaining the Mind Gem mode, the score continues to go up, and despite the length of time the ball is trapped the screen doesn't scroll through info - were you aware that you had a switch constantly registering? Will definitely look in more depth when I get home from work
