People are welcome to perform slide saves on my games. As long as they don't slide the game into the machine next to it, I have absolutely no problem with it. All my tilt bobs are set fairly. If you are too aggressive, you will tilt. In my opinion, a slide save is an advanced move that any good player should master.
Quoted from razorsedge:Nope. Almost 30% of respondents are not included in "everyone". There are plenty who seem to agree with my point of view.
And yet even those that agree with you don't seem to harbor the disdain that you have for those with a differing view on the subject. That's the thing you are failing to grasp. Your "holier than though" attitude is extremely off-putting.
Quoted from BrianBannon:Each to his own, I never thought of slide saving as an advanced move. Moving a newer game, especially a Stern, a few inches to save a SDTM drain without tilting is really fairly easy. Probably one of the easier skills to do.
I wasn't necessarily saying that the move is physically difficult to perform. It just isn't a skill that you will find very often in a novice player's repertoire.
Quoted from ryanwanger:It took me years to learn how and when to slide save. I've seen a lot of people go through the progression of pinball skills, and I can promise you that for the majority of the people (that I see and interact with), learning to slide save is much closer to the end of that progression...rather than the beginning, as you've stated.
Precisely.
I actually won my league playoffs last night in part because of a well executed slide save on Munsters. I was on ball three and it was about to go straight down the middle. I managed to save it, albeit with a double tilt warning. After waiting for the tilt bob to calm down, I then proceeded to have a monster ball that won me the game.
