    • ... just another form of nudging. Just because the legs move a bit across the floor doesn't make a difference - I'll just move it back a bit after I drain and all is good. 179 votes

    Quoted from JosephT:

    I think people that just watch the ball go stdm are mush

    depends on the game. Games where all your score is bonus. like TOTAN. or Indy 500. You really going to risk a tilt if you have a shiton of bonus built up?

    get carpet in your game room and all the slide will not be a concern anymore.

    Quoted from pezpunk:

    Absurd that 35% of Pinside answered this incorrectly.

    wouldn't be the first time. I've seen pinside wrong a lot about a lot of things.

    Quoted from mtkinf:

    Then please quote someone who said that nudging is cheating. I said that the machine "slid an inch or two". That is not not the same as nudging. Thanks.

    but if your tilt is setup right, it will tilt out if the offender pushed the limits. Hell, watch bowen play in the tutorials. everything he does is tournament legal and pulls that shit a lot.

    he does say death saves are always illegal, but that's a whole different animal then sliding the game over a bit. Hell, when I move my games i'll pick up the front and drag it's ass around the basement with no sliders on.

    If it's ok for the championships..it's ok in life. Nobody can disagree with that.

    bowen has said himself.. " I was a C player, until I learned how to nudge properly. once that happened, I became an A player". Said this first hand at PAPA years ago.

    Quoted from BrianBannon:

    Are you being serious here? Slide saves are easy. I could teach anyone in less than a minute how to do one. "Ball is going where you don't want it to go, just shove the game to one side or the other". If someone can push a full grocery cart they can do a slide save. IMHO, simple nudging--knowing which way to nudge a game when the ball is right by a post, getting the most points out of a ball in a pop bumper nest, or shaking a ball out of the outlane is harder.

    how about a slide save on soft plush carpet?
