Wow, That was amazing! Awesome job.

Incredible video!!!!!!!!

Hope you do another tutorial.

Wow! Way to kick that pins a**! I'm thinking you should enter in a few pinball tournaments. Lol

That video made me feel horrible about myself. Thanks.

Unbelievable. Awesome playing. All shots on demand. No bricks. Just wow.

So close to Dark Phoenix too ... Did you need to get the Magneto Super Jackpot at the end of the footage?

Or did you get it ... After the footage ends ...?

Great game either way.

Even if he got the SJP, the mode wasn't truly there on that version. Just said Wizard Mode or something like that.

what a player !! those shots were amazing , wish i could play like that

Not to be a giant hater, but the video maxed out at 360p. After all the effort to shoot that, the nice angle, etc why not upload in HD? I honestly couldn't watch it at that low rez.

GREAT STUFF! Your the reason why I don't participate in tournaments.

* Question* Does anyone remember back in the previous codes where in Hellfire Club villians, while you fist fight with Shaw you hit the night crawler pop ups or did I get Nightcrawler while I was fighting Shaw? I thought that was a cool mode.

A great video ....but I really wanted to see how that epic battle ended.

This video is a perfect example as of why the Magneto super jackpot should NOT be a qualifying factor for Danger Room or Dark Phoenix (with stacking on or off). Here is a player that is better than 95% (or more) of players and a Mags super was not hit in 2 attempts. The rest of the video is / would have been grinding to qualify and attempt another Mags super.

I still think a Mags super is a perfect requirement for Dead Pool. It can be attempted and done on any given game, but it's not so easy that you would be seeing it too much.

Again...bravo on the game and thanks for videoing it and posting.

Awesome ideas Keith. Tell Waison

Maybe it's who's telling him ...

Great video thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi Sk8ball. I was wondering if you had any pointers for setting up the machine. Looks like you have thicker rubbers on your flippers. Any thing else? Pitch? Post change? Stock? You make it look easy.

Thanks

It's not the machine. It's the player.

Wow....thanks for showing us what danger room looks like!

Yeah, I find the scoring for the Mags SJP odd. Assuming you've started all hero modes prior to starting him, each JP nets you a million a shot and will be doing 6 dots of damage, so you're getting huge amounts of points up until the SJP, which is a piddling 5mil in comparison to the marathon that is Mags MB. And no damage progression either. As it stands currently, the only true motivation for Mags SJP is for wizard qualification and to stack in a villain mode such as Sentinels or Sabertooth. The victory laps after the SJP are also weird as they are worth 600k a piece and alternate the shots. So the victory laps end up being worth less than the mode JPs....don't know if that's usual for victory laps in other pins.

I am curious as to your thoughts on XM overall Keith, as you pretty much spanked the game on 1.24 (30 mins of bricking aside ). Obviously you already stated a couple things above that you'd like to see, I'm assuming Mags damage progression is one of them. The combos add a new layer to everything, but as far as maximizing the scoring as quick as possible, it still seems pretty formulaic, for me at least:

-start game and work on immediately qualifying villain
-Start Sentinels, as this is still the best villain mode as far as risk/reward to point payout
-Stack WXMB right away in Sentinels
-focus on completing WXMB, during which you will most likely complete Sentinels anyway
-after Sentinels and Wolvie stack, then the strategy becomes more subjective to the player, I think. This is what I try to do...
-go for BHMB, as it is now much more obtainable in 1.3 now with the BH targets as damage dealers
-then go for Omega Red, as his mode now can go over 8mil
-during all this if MagsMB starts, it's fine because with Wolvie mode completed, the Mags strategy for me is to hit Wolvie for the JP and 6 dots of damage, then hit the Mag shot to reset JP, then rinse repeat and pray I make it through,lol. But using this method seems to make the Mags SJP easier to obtain for me, but I'm nowhere near the same hemisphere of good a player as you are.
-allthewhile starting and hopefully completing hero modes between villains, starting with Iceman as he's worth 3mil for two shots, which ain't too shabby.

Anywho, looking forward to seeing more superb play for your next vid on v1.3 after CAX! See ya at CAX!

If I have to remove my Wolvie again for any reason (re-adjust, swap out because his back has busted out, ect...) I think I'm going to stick a maxie pad on the front of his post and put a Wolverine sticker on it. It might not look very good, but I'm betting it would play a bit better than it does with the Wolvie figure.
