Does Dr Who have the best 3 shot combo in the spelling of w h o??? I say yes and a huge yes when that SONIC BOOM comes at the end of one!! Just feels so good completing these shots!
So im asking do you agree...'yes' or if ..'no'..what is your fav 3 shot combo??
Quoted from jayhawkai:Favorite 2 shot is Spine Chiller to Insanity Falls. Never played DW though.
+1
The best 3 way on any machine is on Roadshow. The left ramp bridge out, then the right ramp bridge out through the pops and around the back to the left mini flipper which shoots into the blast zone. Still gets me every time.
Saying that, been playing a lot of my SM recently, wow that machine is incredible for combo's
Quoted from robertmee:Five shot in TSPP....
+1
Quoted from fusion301:I like 5 way combo on Tommy - not an easy one to achieve ...
What is the 5-way combo on Tommy? I've done a 4-way combo a handful of times, but it was purely by accident. I honestly have no idea what the shot sequence is.
Quoted from RDReynolds:Air raid siren combo in Whirlwind trumps all!
I agree. Its a hard one to get too.

+1 - that's the combo!
Quoted from RDReynolds:Air raid siren combo in Whirlwind trumps all!
Agree! +1
Quoted from Jgel:Or the 4 shot combo of all four of The Shadow rings. Hitting The Shadow rings REALLY feels like you are in a zone.
Hands down this is the best. Not only does it feel good to hit the combos in TS, but you have to use more than just the flippers. You have to keep swapping the diverters the right direction to keep the ball flowing. LOVE IT!
"Air Raid" combo shot in Whirlwind is among the hardest.
Its low on points but the air raid siren you hear is pretty sweet.
Quoted from robertmee:Five shot in TSPP....supposedly a 6 and 7 shot, but I've never found it.
News to me!
Quoted from TaylorVA:TAF is my favorite.
TAF's feel really good to me too. It incorporates a different flipper with each shot (well I guess you could backhand the ramp) and different positions on the flipper with each shot. Dr. Who falls short for me personally because it feels like they're all tip shots. It's not a bad combo, just not better than either of TAF's 3-ways.
And yes, Shadow 7-way is probably one of the hardest to achieve. I did a 6 once, which was all 4 ramps then left orbit-center loop. Working in that extra right orbit shot is definitely not trivial... Your best bet is probably to start with the right orbit then loop passing and doing the other 6. Otherwise at some point you're flailing the right orbit up the right ramp, and good luck with that.
Quoted from RobT:No votes for 5 way combo on AFM?
That's stringing shots together, not really a set sequence. Even though it's similar, it just not quite the same. I prefer the set sequence, even though I have written rules like AFM's (WPT and LOTR).
True story: at one point in time I was going to add a rule to LOTR that started by making the Shire (mystery) target into the VUK called Gimli's Challenge. It was going to give you one shot, and if you made it, light another, etc. up to a 6-way combo, which if you completed, lit extra ball. There's probably even dot support for the rule, but I just never got around to it; the game didn't really feel like it needed it.

Owning both (WW), I have to agree RS's 3 way combo is a blast 
...
Quoted from Matt_Rasmussen:Corvette has many scoring combos too, add to your end of ball bonus as tracks.
Gladiators has one of the most satisfying combo systems in all of pinball. There's tons of ways to keep it going between the two "playfields", the ramps, and the horseshoe shot.
Whirlwind is pretty great, and very hard to complete. The reward is nice, too.
I don't think you get extra points for doing it, but Radical! has a cool combo going from right flip to vert ramp, left flip to right orbit, and left upper flipper to bust-a-move ramp.
You could probably piece together some ultimate combo like
1) right flipper to left orbit to
2) right upper flipper to left ramp to
3) right flipper to vert ramp to
4) left flipper to left orbit to
5) left upper flipper to bust-a-move
without the ball ever stopping. 
Demo Man - to start the game
1 - Upper left flipper to underground
2 - Roll over right inlane to light lock freeze to left ramp
3 - Roll over left inlane to light claw to right ramp - select lock freeze to start multiball in 3 shots. Very Nice!
Also has a bunch of other combos all over the game
If you like the whirlwind combo, there's a combo the exact reverse of that in Corvette. Right orbit, cornering loop, skid pad ramp.
Quoted from Finrod:I'm going to be contrary and vote for the skyway -> loop -> ramp combo on Black Knight 2000. BK2K after all had the very first scored combo, the skyway-loop combo.
Dude, I LOVE how much you love Black Knight 2000!
