Forgive me if this has already been mentioned.

I think it was in the Steve Ritchie interview in pinball news where he mentioned 4 skill shots. The warp skill shot, the super warp skill shot and the regular super skill shot. I was baffled onThe fourth and just figured it hadn't been coded. But found it tonight! During play, as long as mission start is not lit and you hit the away team shot, hold the left flipper down and it'll auto plunge to the left flipper and a super skill shot will be lit. I believe you can keep going for this shot (risky), but it's very cool coding. Well done Steve, Tanio, and co.

So you can hit it any time, not just off the plunge? Unusual for a skill shot, no? Nice find!

Yep! Only restriction I found so far is when mission start is lit, maybe mb too?

Not yet, it's on it's way from Chicago, if the estimate holds I'll have it this Wed. Of course Helen and Shadow prints come on Thursday, so I'll be too busy to give it any serious playtime for a few days at least.

Once I get a chance to spend some time with it not distracted by Greg and Kelly I'll be able to participate in the rules conversation better.

This sounds like something I discovered regarding multiple skill shots. Did you know you can collect both super skill shots on the same ball? Shoot for one on the initial launch. If you collect it, the next time you are in the shooter lane, hold down the flipper for the other one. If it auto launches or if you have to punch it doesn't matter, the second skill shot will be available. I've noticed that sometimes the super warp skill shot does not light but it will still award if you hit it.

Variations:
If you miss your first super skill shot, you can try for that same one again the next time you are in the shooter lane.

If you make your skill shot, I believe that skill shot is locked out for the remainder of the ball.

Sometimes this just doesn't work (the gates just don't open), but more often than not there can be multiple skill shots per ball. I haven't determined the pattern that makes it not work sometimes.
