That may be the case, but Wolverine also says that "Sometimes Summers, I remember why you are in charge" when you drain and fail the mode (BUG!).

What you have to think about in suggestions like this is....how would Deadpool mode start / run. I mean if it start right after beating Gambit hurry up or Nightcrwaler...anything else could be running at that time. You could have a hero and a villain running, complete Gambit and now Deadpool. Are you even going to be able to tell Deadpool mode is running at that point or what you are doing or supposed to do?

That's why after a Mags super seem like the best time to me. You can have other things running during Mags multiball, but you can't start modes while in Mags multiball. By the time you get to a Mags super jackpot....Mags should be the only thing running. Any other modes that were running should be timed out or completed by then. When you drain down to 1 ball after the Mags super it's a clean slate. Nothing else would be running. A perfect time for Deadpool mode. The same could be said for after you beat Danger in Danger Room mode. Another "clean slate" opportunity to start Deadpool mode.

Hell, kill the flippers and give us a cool smart arsed intro before serving up the ball to start Deadpool mode. Have some fun with it. I fell like if 1 or 2 other modes are running during Deadpool mode....it wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable as it should be.

Besides not being a nice time to start the mode (right after Nightcrwaler or Gambit)...I think having 3 "untrackable" requirements to start Deadpool mode would be a mistake. I also think getting a Gambit hurry-up, a Mags super and beating Nightcrawler is pretty tough (too tough). Not so much the Nightcrwaler as the Gambit and Mags super in the same game. I rarely get a Gambit hurry up...and enjoy it when I do, but I would really hate it to be any kind of requirement. I like Nightcrwaler and Gambit for what they are now...tiny bonus modes that have instant rewards if completed.

Never had that happen.

Do you ever have an Xavier shot trigger as a Storm shot? That is the only explanation I could come up with. If you Storm switch is to sensitive and her shot was the mutant it would count the switch hit after the VUK kicked it up as hitting the switch and finding the mutant.

OR

I have had lefty Nightcrawler pop up a couple of times in Rogue mode and automatically count as him being hit. If that happened in Xavier mode and he was the mutant that would be an instant win also.

Then no....you haven't beat Danger Room. Keep in mind I have done all of this research with the glass off. You have to keep hitting those shots FOREVER. I really wish Danger had a health bar. Anyway....eventually you beat her and it has a cut scene much like the other villain modes after you beat them.

It is a fun mode. I played it a couple times after cheating to get there, but it seems overly long on the last section of the mode (when you are actually fighting Danger). As I said, a health bar would be very nice so you don't feel like you are running in place and see you are actually making progress.

I was wondering how this worked on the Pro. So do the Nightcrawler inserts alternate and you have to hit that ramp when that Nightcrawler is lit? Or just any 4 ramp shots? Either way sounds pretty tough.

To be honest, when I am trying to hit Nightcrawler on the LE...I basically shoot them as if I was trying to make a Xavier shot for the left one and an Iceman ramp for the right one. Pretty much the same shots except you can do them sloppier since you don't actually have to make it up a ramp or directly in a shot. The right flipper can hit either NC and I have even hit the left NC with my left flipper a couple of times. Having a Storm ramp shot as a Nightcrawler shot on the Pro seems like a big change. The Xavier shot would simulate his location from the LE much better.

Yeah...that sounds pretty crazy.

Iceman ramp and Xavier shot would be easier and make more sense compared to the LE. It would also be a fun and doable combo. It would be a bit harder than the LE because the shots would actually have to be made (up the ramp or in the Xavier shot), yet it would have the advantage of getting the ball returned to a flipper when one of the shots is made and not have to worry about getting control of the ball again like you do on the LE.

Having it as a Storm ramp shot just seems ludicrous...especially if 4 shots are needed. They should at least count the Storm ramp shot as 2 Nightcrawler hits.

You guys do know that the big sheet of glass that covers the game can be removed right?

I kid, I kid, but seriously...I can't imagine a questions like "Does the Xavier shot count as a left Nightcrawer hit?" being a questions that I would wonder about for long. Pull that glass and see....and report back.

It really should count in my opinion. It's not like the left Nightcrawler needs to be hit with the upper flipper on the LE to count.

I have done this before...and I guess I am doing it again. Here is how you test to see if your Storm switch is adjusted correctly.

Take off the glass and get a ball. Open the coin door and go into diagnostics, switch, test. Now trigger the switch that is halfway down the Storm ramp and take note of where that switch is on the DMD switch grid. Now shut the coin door (so the Xavier VUK will work) and put a ball in the Xavier shot. Keep an eye on the Storm switch on the DMD when that ball is kicked up to the ramp. It SHOULD NOT REGISTER as a hit from the ball getting kicked up and hitting the ramp. It SHOULD REGISTER as it rolls through the switch. If you see it register when hitting the ramp, or registering 2 times from VUK until it leaves the ramp...your Storm switch is too sensitive and needs to be adjusted.

Also...make sure you are not holding onto the ramp when you are doing this test. By holding the ramp you would be holding it steady and possibly preventing the ramp vibration that is causing the false switch hit. There seems to be a lot of room here between being too sensitive and not sensitive enough....so make sure no Xavier VUK hits to the ramp cause the switch to trigger.

As for messing with the ramp entrance switch...that switch does nothing except make a sound effect. The way the game is programmed is the switch halfway down the Storm ramp is the only one needed to count as a Storm hit. The game is programed to ignore the next hit to that switch after the Xavier switch is hit. So if your Storm switch is too sensitive it registers as the ball hits the ramp (which is ignored), but then when the ball rolls through the switch it DOES count it when it should actually be ignored.

I hope this helps.
