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.
Playing the old tables should provide you quite the challenge, especially since they're generally lower scoring. You have tables you want to significantly improve your scores on, so why not do it on the old ones? :-p I think you're short changing yourself by giving the old ones the cold shoulder.
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...
Fret not. I've only cracked 100M on Excalibur, Biolab, Earth Defense, and Mars. The road is long. Just try and have fun along the way. It's not a race.
105m - Mars
59m - Wolverine
1024m - Spiderman
51m - Iron Man
24m - Blade
109m - Secrets of the Deep
176m - Biolab
86m - Pasha
101m - Rome
36m - Speed Machine
13m - Extreme
46m - Agents
68m - Buccaneer
45m - Nightmare Mansion
27m - Rocky & Bullwinkle
44m - Street Fighter II
130m - Earth Defense
65m - Excalibur
The only tables I know I definitely wont break 100m on are R&B, Extreme and Speed Machine. Extreme is extremely low-scoring, hence no desire to play, and the other two are just unbelievably (to me anyway) frustrating.

I counted the other day during a SINGLE ball (This was ball one), I "drained" on the left out lane (Mostly from a from a trampoline hit the right side) SIXTEEEN TIMES on Rocky and Bullwinkle. It was saved via CAKE or was during multiball fifteen of those times, the last was how I lost the Ball One. I quit after that.

Yeah, table is quite nasty for drains. Kinda why I'd like a longer ball saver or easier to earn kickbacks

Oh yeah... Speed Machine is mean! I wanted to crack the 40 M I somehow was able to score a long time ago but didn't even come close... The more I tried to control the ball the quicker it was gone. Hitting the ball away as soon as it comes down and near the flippers oddly worked better here. oO Really strange table...
Ok, Street Fighter II is Done. Now if Cloda would quit tempting me to rack up points on the easy tables to bump my superscore, I might get through most of these

I don't buy it. You'd rather just bump your Spiderman score.
1. Pasha - DONE - 820m, 12th overall
2. Blade - 86m, just short, not a table I'm good at but mainly because I haven't played it much 3. Excalibur - DONE - 147m, 75th overall
4. Bio Lab - DONE - 149m, 342nd overall 5. Rome - DONE - 129m, 225th overall 6. Wolverine - DONE - 654m, 24th overall
7. Spider-man - DONE - 942m, 87th overall 8. Nightmare Mansion - 603m, 10th overall 9. Earth Defense - DONE - 263m, 32nd Overall 10. Secrets of the Deep - DONE - 193m, 216th overall
11. Ironman - 54m, came close to completing wizard mode but failed, reckon 100m is attainable
12. Buccaneer - 83m, spamming frenzy and earning extra balls is all I need to do here, could get this. 13. Street Fighter II Turbo - DONE - 241m, 25th overall
14. Agents - 79m, not far off, just need to earn extra balls or find better ways of scoring
15. Speed Machine - 41m, some way off but I reckon with some practice I can do it
16. Extreme - 12m, not sure how to score heavily, scoring seems to take ages
17. Rocky & Bullwinkle - 91m, I hate the table, too drainy, kickbacks are hard to earn 18. Mars - DONE - 707m, 60th overall
19. Fantastic Four - DONE - 613m, 32nd Overall Note - 1.8bn (1st) was done via a glitch, ignore it.
Superscore - 4452 (4786 if all tables are 100m minimum)
I will likely heavilly increase these to: (Method I will be using)
- Pasha, 1,500m+ (Missions + Wizard) 680m to go
- Wolverine, 900m+ (Missions + Wizard) 246m to go
- Excalibur, 200m+ (Missions + Extra Balls) 53m to go
- Biolab, 400m+ (Missions + Wizard + Multiball) 251m to go
- Rome, 150m+ (Southern Garrison) 21m to go
- Spider-Man, 1,250m+ (Pre-Wizard + Wizard) 308m to go - Earth Defense, 125m+ (Multiball) up to 263m
- SotD, 500m+ (Multiball) 307m to go
- Buccaneer, 100m+ (Frenzy Multiball + Extra Balls) 17m to go
- SFII Tribute, 400m+ (Multiball + Extra Balls) 159m to go
- Agents, 100m+ (Missions + Wizard) 21m to go
- Mars, 1,500m+ (Missions, Wizard + Gravity Multiball) 793m to go
These are my current realistic targets for those tables.
The other table I expect to improve but I have no real method for scoring heavily on them right now.

Reason: Added FF to list
Just scored a monster score on NM, 603m, but it did take 2 hours of play.
I earned 6 extra balls on the run and on ball 2 I had a witch score of 9m with a 10x bonus. Orbits are super easy to hit, but need to careful with the right orbit because of the way the ball returns.
Very satisfied. Pushed my superscore over 5k and into 28th overall.
My problem with reaching those high scores is my patience and concentration which both starts to fade after 20 minutes or so of play, I make silly mistakes then because I can't pay full attention anymore. Are you pausing the game after a while and go back after a short break sometimes? If I do so I lose the ball after only seconds most of the time because I'm out of the flow then...
Anyway, my 100 M + scores as of now:
> Spider-Man - 117 M
> Street Fighter II - 119 M
> Earth Defense - 121 M
> Mars - 209 M
Oh I think its very doable to get 100 million on each table if you put enough time into each table. Once you get the muscle memory down on that table everything flows much better. If you are doing this I would suggest do one time at a time and only play that table for the muscle memory to kick in.
