Quoted from attyrhodes:I try to explain this to my friend who has IM & JP in his collection. I have no argument that those two are "better" games, but Deadpool is just so damn fun.
Agreed. I had IMDN and JP with DP not too long ago. And while IMDN and JP are instant classics. They are also a little too bit serious with a bit more precise ruleset. Deadpool is much more fun, with a ruleset and layout that compliments all skill levels. It really is a masterpiece.
Quoted from wtuttle:Received a great mod from Luc in Switzerland last week. Installation was less than two minutes, which is my kind of mod. This is a side-by-side comparison of the two Katana handles. Night-and-day between what Luc made and what Stern provided.
I ordered two! The dark blue is installed, and the light blue (foreground) is next up on my Prem.

Where does one find this mod?
Victoria, BC
Quoted from adamross:Where does one find this mod?
Contact @Lucxor, he's posted about it a few pages back.
My Hell House scoop quit ejecting the ball. I lifted the playfield and found 1 of the wires on the switch had come loose. Problem is there are 2 wires and 3 posts which post doesn't have a wire attached?
Does anyone have an original Stern topper they’re looking to sell or no of one for sale? Please PM if you do. Thanks!

Quoted from rapidflipper:I just added a poor man’s topper, and set a new GC my first game up. I think the sword might be lucky!
The katana is foam, so pretty light weight and no risk of falling damage.

Just in case your interested Stern are rerunning their topper this year for Deadpool.
Quoted from TommyMc:My Hell House scoop quit ejecting the ball. I lifted the playfield and found 1 of the wires on the switch had come loose. Problem is there are 2 wires and 3 posts which post doesn't have a wire attached?
I just had one of the posts break off the switch body and had to replace the entire switch. Wires should connect to the middle post and the post across from where the switch arm meets the switch body.

Thanks for the help.

Mine was similar when I got it 2 years ago.
Here's how I fixed it (Easy fix!):

THANK YOU!!
I was having a frustrating night on a few other pins when I decided to play one game of DP before calling it a night. Completely turned the mood around. This pin is just fantastic.
Who else digs playing their PRO version more with the sword lock disabled?
I find the flow better, it still registers lock as happening and then its easier to accrue weapons!

But the lock is cool and the pinball moment in the pro. Can’t imagine disabling it.
I'm trying to track down a problem with one drop target on the left:
I lifted the playfield and removed the PCB with the four optos to get a better look at the mechanism. Unfortunately I didn't notice anything wrong. Here's a video of that:
The locking washers (I think that's what they are?) all seem the same. While lifted, I was hitting the drop targets with my hand from the other side to make them fall back down. The one that kept failing seem to stay up pretty well when the playfield was lifted.
Anybody have any suggestions?

I had had that on my Metallica. I applied a little bit of heat with a heat gun (hair dryer could work too) to the middle area of the tldrop target then lightly bent it forward a bit. It will allow the lip to better contact the ledge.
Quoted from Brainiac:Our family loves DP.
I changed to family friendly setting, but the "adult" songs still play. One day, my kids are going to ask why do you "punch a baby bear in his dick?"
I don't those songs wouldn't play on family friendly setting.
Thoughts?
That's a song lyric from Run The Jewels and is not in the stock game. Now I want that in my pin.
I like to set my new games to 5 ball for a while until I learn the basics.
We've had our DP for about 2 weeks now and I'm starting to get the obvious stuff. Time to go down to 3 ball.
On 5 I've been able to get to a few Sauron team up battles, mechsuit multiball and both quests (usually going for one thing at a time for now), I'm liking the strategy I can see so far where sometime I will start something that I realize can be better utilized if brought in at a different time. Boom button integration is one of the best in pinball so far. (Mando's is REALLY good)
Anyway, just a little rant after my first 2 weeks. I could see this one lasting long term.
Put a deposit down for Deadpool Premium. This will be my first pin, I've been obsessively reading about it and watching gameplay videos. The distributor said it should be around January.

Highly recommend you stop watching vids of it! Get the game and discover all the awesome stuff packed into it. Worth the wait.

Yeah - I agree! I like to figure out and find out everything myself... when getting a NIB pin a little video is OK, but then I have to stay away until I get my new game!
My first NIB game was Metallica and I'd never seen anything but a picture. I was ready to get my first NIB game and I liked Metallica.
Nowadays, I always watch some footage but I don't like to watch so much that I know the game before I own it. I like to learn stuff naturally for a while and then watch videos later if I want to learn some more depth.

Unfortunately it's way too late for that. I knew pretty much everything about the game long before I decided to buy one. If (when) I buy another NIB, I'll watch as little gameplay as possible.
Can anyone explain to me how the Snikt shot works? So far, I'm super frustrated trying to figure it out. Which flipper can make the shot? I assume only the left one? also, how many times do I have to hit it to trigger the2x multiplier? It seems like I hit it a bunch of times and nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Quoted from punkin:It has to hit the target and then richocet up the ramp to lock a ball.
Wow, any tips on how to hit that beyond luck?

Quoted from wtatumjr:Yes you have to hit the target and have it ricochet up the ramp. You get credit when the ball passes opto here in pic [quoted image]
And.... it can't happen too slowly with a slow roller up the ramp or you won't get credit.

After a couple good fingerings, I conclude within half a second.

Where did you get this from please? I got one from mezel mods and it was terrible, really bad 3d printing with terrible layer adhesion.
Quoted from UCFKnight71:Wow, any tips on how to hit that beyond luck?
Here's the most satisfying shot in the game (red arrows, kinda hard to see. Right flipper off side of left ramp, off snikt)....and takes absolutely no luck at all! lol

Quoted from ExSquid:How confident is everyone feeling about getting there machine this January for all those who ordered one?
Not too confident here.

If mine pushes to January I won’t buy it for the increased price. My distributor still says the run is planned for December (I would be surprised if it’s built in December).
I owned the pro and Le. I’m willing to be patient but I’ll add a prem down the road. It’s my wife’s favorite pin

Just curious, why did you get rid of the LE?
Quoted from ExSquid:Just curious, why did you get rid of the LE?
My wife and I like the side art on the premium a lot. Some one local wanted my LE so we were ok with selling knowing I can a premium later

Yeah I'm in on a Premium as well. The side art looks sick on it! Going to have to move things around so when it gets in my house so I can actually see it and not have it blocked by my other machines.
Quoted from UCFKnight71:Wow, any tips on how to hit that beyond luck?
It’s basically the same shot as the Wolverine spinner off the left flipper, just delay your timing slightly. If the shot isn’t perfect and doesn’t ricochet all the way up the ramp, it could come back SDTM.
It’s high risk, high reward 
Thanks to Murphy’s law, I almost never hit Snikt when aiming for it, but inevitably get it when I really needed the Wolverine shot…
I'm so grateful for all of the advice so far! I guess I'll have to add the Snikt shot to my practice routine. I feel like I've sort of hit a wall on my progress. I'm doing much better with ball control and understanding the rules. Sometimes I can even nudge and it makes a difference. My aim is still awful, and I brick a lot of shots that puts me in danger. Either a bricked shot leads to the slings flinging the ball to the outlane before I can react, or the ball slips between the flippers. I rarely get to 100,000,000, which I consider a minimum decent score. My high score is still only 351, 768,810, which I know is not that impressive.
Can anyone share their strategy when they start a new game? What do you shoot for first? When do you go into a battle, and in what order? I feel like I go back and forth in my strategy and I'm not sure if I am prioritizing things right. Do you all try to get a Snikt constantly to get the multiplier, or does that just come as you are doing other things? Again, I am loving this game and am happy that this forum exists to help. I'm trying to avoid getting frustrated with my lack of progress!

The arrows actually do help! I think I need a strategy guide full of pictures and arrows to help me practice!
