Is twice the default setting? I have to shoot it three times on my game to light the extra ball.

I just practiced the mode start shot and timed out most modes in my quest to beat final battle, so the process of getting there wasn't too bad. Just beating it, that's the problem for me hah

Mine wasn't set up that you could backhand the mode start though, at least not unless the ball was rolling backwards up the right flipper. I think mine was pitched a little more than 6 1/2 as I recall.

You can't backhand that shot on my game either.

you can't backhand mode saucer from right flipper on my shadow either. I tend to choose left skill shot when right one is not interesting (x bonus, light lock, mongol in single player...) and then shoot the mode hole from the left. Also using left ramp diverter to setup that shot whenever I need it. I think left skillshot award is always worse than right one because there is more to shoot from left flipper while right one offers only left orbit/battlefield/ramp.

Play non stop for 24 hours straight

Ran a 24 hour marathon tournament last weekend called the final battle.

My real strategy is to skip skill shot. Hold up right flipper and hop ball to left to get a shot to mode start while ball save is active. Make sure ramps are always diverted to left so a missed shot that hits the ramp gives you another clean attempt. You don't need vengeance for final battle. Don't time out modes. Play for other goals and you will get some extra mode points along the way. Go for sanctum locks or Kahn muktiball if lit. Farley claymore go for battlefield. Switch hits finish him off and you need to beat battlefield anyways. Basicly playing all 6 modes will be all you go for. The other stuff comes during the modes if played smartly.

We had a seperate 100$ side bounty on Shadow is it was live streamed all 24 hours. If anyone beat final battle they got the bounty. Not on hit it. Only beat it once in my life but the game sound and light show were amazing. It's even awesome just for starting final battle.

Haha. Awesome. Love the trophy.

Been trying to get back into my shadow lately. Still haven't gotten to Final Battle, but was one mode away last night. Both saucers are a bitch to hit to start modes. Getting the modes complete is the toughest part of the scarf.

I tend to skip the skill shot too, unless there is a chance at an extra ball. The targets in front are just too damn unforgiving in terms of draining.
