Quoted from BoJo:After playing a bunch of games last night I was disappointed in the sword shot. So many times it would brick and miss the transition to the ramp. There were 4 machines and it happened on all of them. Hopefully it can be dialed in because it's frustrating when you make a shot only to have it get rejected. Didn't seem to happen much on the deadflip broadcast so maybe that one was tweaked.
Same thing happened to me on the one I played at Wonderland Brewery yesterday, between the stray ping pong balls rolling under the machines from a game behind me and someone's massive dog breathing on me, I gave up after two games lol.
