Personal Goal - 100m on every table=Doable?

[wozfromcov]

how

I dunno if aiming for 100m is the right way to go, but maybe shooting for top 100 would be a better idea.

I have 5 tables over 100m

193m Secrets of the Deep
102m Bioloab
820m Pasha
400m Wolverine
239m Spider-Man

My worst score is on Extreme which is still under 10m. My next closest to 100m is Blade on 85m so I may get that one next. I'm also aiming to get 1bn+ on Pasha which I'm confident I can do.

The tables I think I should get over 100m on with a little effort on are Rocky & Bullwinkle, Earth Defense, Excalibur, Street Fighter II, Iron Man and Rome. The others, Speed Machine, Extreme, Agents, Buccaneer and Nightmare Mansion may be a struggle.

how do you get 820m on pasha ive struggled to get 81m

I know in some instances, the easiest way to achieve a high score isn't necessarily completing all of the missions. It's finding the highest scoring segment of the table and beating it to death with a ball-peen hammer. It's the brute force method. I could probably achieve some higher scores with this method, but it bores me to death and really doesn't make me feel like I accomplished much of anything.

Most of these guys are just good players. That's all there is to it. You know how simple it is to tie your shoes, right? That's what pinball is for these guys. Every once in a while they're forced to use a different knot, but....

Its like that for some tables but Pasha is definitely not one of them. The key to the big scores are by completing the missions and activating the final mode multiple times in one game. I don't have 820mil but I have 442mil and this was achieved by completeing the wizard mode twice in one game. It starts at 50mil, 2nd time was 100mil and I guess it keeps going from there, so thats where the huge scores come on Pasha.

Once you get the mini games down its not really that hard. The hardest part is defeating the guards for me. I am quite inconsistent with this but the rest is quite easy now that I have done it alot.

As Ozzy pointed out, completing the missions is the best way to go on Pasha. I completed story mode 6 times in my best game and was well on the way to a 7th (damned guards). I have become really good at it, almost Zen like (see what I did there?), I managed to start a game yesterday and finished Wizard mode in less than 7 minutes from the start and did it again 6 minutes later.

Pasha awards you 50m the first time round and then 100m every time after that. You get some large points for doing the modes several times over as well, like with the magnet game, you can earn 10m for the 3rd time round. It does reset afterwards though and you have to climb the ladder again.

You could try and milk the last mission (wizard mode) by only hitting the snake with two balls and collecting 5m before letting the ball out of play when the ball save times out. (I think letting it drain in wizard mode doesn't lose you the ball you are on, can't remember because I've only failed the mode twice in 30+ efforts).

Now, I have to claim my top spot on my FL because HeathenSauce is greedy and takes all my best scores away from me.

Damn I thought it kept going, as in 50mil, 100mil, 200, 400 etc. That makes the higher scores even more impressive now. Its a table I couldn't stand at first but I would have to say now is my second favourite (Wolverine being the first). I guess actually knowing what to do has helped me like it more but overall it just a fun to play table with stuff going on all the time and the score keeps ticking over nicely.

Sorry for off topic. As for 100 mil being doable on every table, I would say definitely but some of the older tables just aren't fun to play at all up against the newer tables, not to mention they are low scoring so to score 100mil is going to be quite the effort and an exercise in frustration. How long would it take on a table like extreme? I think my high score game is 3mil (lol) and I already felt I have played more than enough of that table.

[Cloda]

I just can't get my self to play any of the old tables, especially now that I have improved my skill to a good enough level to have 2-3 hour and longer games on some of the tables. I currently feel that there are 10 tables that I would like to significantly improve my scores on and just won't ever have time to play the older tables. Especially with so many new tables coming.

If only there was no such thing as the guards mini-game on Pasha - I think I am actually getting worse at it! The table would have been so much easier. I also really struggle with the extra ball multi-ball so not getting enough of them.

I disagree a little here. I believe UranusIsBroken is right with regards to Pasha too. I have an on-going game right now on ball 2.1 with 1.2B, and I have yet to complete the wizard mode.

I personally find the lamp multi-ball a lot easier to complete, and it also has escalating awards capping out at 100M. The bright side with this method is, you never have to shoot the shot that starts a story, since in my opinion that is the most dangerous shot on the table. Probably a matter of preference, but I just wanted to say that you don't have to complete the story mode to get a high score efficiently (100M per successful multi-ball).

[Nekro Neko]

You could be right, but I had 180m in less than 15 minutes over the weekend doing the missions and wizard mode. How long does it take and how safe is it to do the lamp multiball?

Multi-ball is definitely a weakness in my game and I hadn't even taken your method into account, so I will retract my statement as absolute fact, as I just assumed everyone was doing it through the missions. I can get through the missions pretty regularly now, with a bit of luck on the damn guards minigame and the final mode isn't too hard but i may give the multi-ball route a try. I need the practice with it.

I know what you mean with the shot through the bumpers but now I never get tempted to take the shot with a moving ball, only from a stopped ball and I find even with a miss, the ball doesn't come back too fast for me to react.

I doubt I had more than 180M after 15 minutes, but then again my first priority is getting elixired up.

It doesn't take long provided you hit all of the shots. How long does it take to do this?
* spinner shot x 2
* snake drop targets plus ball capture x 3
* 4 shots during multiball phase 1 (left orbit, left ramp, middle ramp, through-the-bumper-from-the-side-flipper shot)
* 3 shots during multiball phase 2 (left ramp, middle ramp, oasis)

If you lose a ball during multiball, you get stuck with 5M or 10M and no escalation. But, you get 2 free ballsavers during multiball. So just hit them fast, and your risk is minimized.

I'm not saying this strategy is superior to wizard mode strategy. It is just an alternative that works better for me, and still gets you points at an decent rate provided you make your shots.

Can you please enlighten me as to which shots you need to complete to get elixired up!!! I know how to start it and I often times keep the balls alive for quite a while without finishing the mode and not being able to see which shots I still need to complete

Left orbit, spinner orbit, right ramp, cave of wonders target.

Then you hit the snake to complete the mode.

[Eviron]

I'm above 100 M only on 2 tables.

Spiderman - 117 M
Earth Defense - 121 M

The closest I am to 100 M on the other tables is on SotD with 75,820,300. I still have a looong way to go...

Thanks A lot!!! To clarify... is the right ramp = Bazaar ramp and is the cave of wonders target = bottom right orbit (flame thinghy in the entrance)?
