Quoted from maroot:
I have had my Premium for about 6 weeks now. My best game is 808 million and the next 4 are in the 600 millions, but for the last 3 weeks, I struggle to get 200 million. Seems I drain a lot or my skills have really disappeared! I’m frustrated!
I’ve checked my left-to-right and it is good and my pitch is 6.8, using a quality digital level. I am at a loss as to where the good scores have gone. Anyone else experience this type of thing? I cleaned and waxed yesterday (God, did it ever get lightning fast!). I have 500 plays on it.
Thanks!
Quoted from PinMonk:
It comes and goes in my experience. You can have 3 terrible games, then one where you blow it up. Try changing your strategy. There are lots of ways to attack the game. If you're going for fights and quests, try going for just the disco modes, Li'l Deadpool modes, and Ninja and Mechsuit Multiballs (if they happen in the course of play). You can get some really respectable scores just from doing well on those. And keep practicing that Snnnkkt! shot every time the ball comes down the left inlane to the left flipper.
Great advice! I've broken 2 Billion a couple times, but still have many games under 200 million. It can be a damn difficult game... which adds to why I like it so much! The other night I had 4 consecutive games where I scored less than 10 million on my first ball... frustrating! Most of my "good" games are done with one or two good balls and then one or two crappy ones... If I could only put 4 good balls (3 +EB) together in one game!!!
Also try different approaches to the battles. If "only" going for points, opt out of the battle unless you have at least one or more team ups. Some team ups work better against some villains (i.e Wolverine is great against Mystique).
Stacking Lil DP or Ninja Multiball with a battle or quest can help the score and help complete the battle or quest as well.
The Snikt target is huge for getting really big scores, sure you can still get big scores without it, but it really helps. Especially when I'm in a multiball... basically any ball coming down the left inlane or trapped on the left flipper I will shoot for the Snikt target. Mechsuit Multiball can get really rewarding with a Snikt multiplier (or several)! I've broken 500 Million in Mechsuit Multiball a couple of times.
Work on combos as this will build your weapons. Once you collect 100 weapons you will always have 2X multiplier. Usually I'm very late in a game when I get to that point, but have even hit 100 weapons on Ball 1 a couple times.
