Personal Goal - 100m on every table=Doable?

[rapierdwit]

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)
- Wolverine, 900m+ (Missions + Wizard)
- Excalibur, 200m+ (Missions + Extra Balls)
- Biolab, 400m+ (Missions + Wizard + Multiball)
- Rome, 150m+ (Southern Garrison)
- Spider-Man, 1,250m+ (Pre-Wizard + Wizard)
- Earth Defense, 125m+ (Multiball) Up to 229m
- SotD, 500m+ (Multiball)
- Buccaneer, 100m+ (Frenzy Multiball + Extra Balls)
- SFII Tribute, 400m+ (Multiball + Extra Balls)
- Agents, 100m+ (Missions + Wizard)
- Mars, 1,500m+ (Missions, Wizard + Gravity Multiball)

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.

Interesting. I like how you address how you are going to go about the scores. Some notes:
Agents - With the current sniper mission glitches, it is just too random to be able to grind. Frustration factor at "locking" up a mission and not being able to complete it will hinder this. Not sure if I actually ever completed Wizard mode on this, not sure what kind of score boost to expect. But, yes, 100m if you can deal with that is something I achieved.

Wolverine - 900m? Wow, I never feel that I am 'owning' this table, drains seem to be able to happen at any time, but if you feel you can do it, rock on!

Earth Defense - is all about air strike multiball and you can SAVE the Air Strike multi-ball after you fail. I think you are aiming low

SFII Tribute - If you can pick your shots and hit them, then the fights would be the way to go, well, Ryu anyway. Multi-ball would take too long to grind to 400m, at least I think.

Rome - Can you just repeat Southern Garrison over and over?

All of your plans of attack seem very sound, good luck!

Edit - Oh, you forgot Rocky and Bullwinkle - Plan of attack is glitch the multi-ball and rack up Jackpots.

I agree with ED being a low target now, I reckon I can now go well over 500m+ on there now.

Rome does indeed let you do the same garrison over and over. up to 12m for each run of it. Romulus could be another option.

SFII I find is really easy to start the multiball and I tend to get a jump of 20m+ for every round of them, plus multiball nets me extra balls.

Wolverine started off as a frustrating table but get the ball saver (SNIKT), Kickback and your timed ball saver up and you can play the table very confidently. Wizard mode gives you millions and it lets you know on the DMD

Biolab Done. Also I updated what place 100m will place you on each of the game leaderboards.

I haven't yet set any kind of *goal* for myself but think I will start too slowly.

as far as the 100mil challenge is concerned this is what mine looks like; I am only over on ONE table: Spider-man >.<

I have just got Mars and got 88mil on my 2nd game so pretty sure I will score big on this one.

I am close on Pasha at 73Mil as well so not so bad.

Going to try to get into the top 500 on every table at some point I think xD.

My problem is that I don't take score routes - I like to just do the missions and often make stupidly risky shots rather than timing out modes etc.

I will stop shooting for the Oasis on Pasha though when you get lost; as it is just pointless...

Loooooooooooooong way to go for me yet >.<

I have never met a mission I didn't like LOL. I was joking with Uranusisbroken the other day that if there was a mission where you were supposed to drain it down the middle, I would not be able to resist doing it. It takes some real self control on my part to hold off doing risky missions and often give in and end up losing the ball on some silly mission with small payoff.

hehe glad I am not the only one.

Tbh the largest chunk of my playtime has been on lower scoring tables. I really like Iron-Man (am at about 50mil on that one) but for the life of me I can not seem to beat the Wizard mode.

It is also one of the longest routes to WM out of any Zen table so failing to get there when you are just one mission or a couple of shots to go is hell-of-annoying.

This thread did shock me how low my scores actually are though. On my friend's lists I am in the top 10 on the tables I have put excessive time into but on others I am waaaay down. I think it is just because I actually don't like a lot of the themes or the way certain tables play...

EG Wolverine / Blade / SotD / Rome - These four tables I just can't get into enough to actually learn them.

I like Mars a lot though; it seems a great balance between nice clear and simple shots with easy to follow rules but has some whackiness thrown in to keep it fresh and fun.

(a little off topic sorry xD)

My MARS score has just increased from 209 M to 318 M. And I still haven't beaten the pyramid mission...

Here's a wee tip for the oasis shot buddy. Aim for the extreme right ramp/orbit (through the bumpers) and the ball ends up on the top right flipper at a nice speed to hit the oasis shot from the end of the flipper. I can hit it more often than not using this strategy.

This is exactly what I do. Oasis shot is around 75% for me, the extreme right shot is about the same.

Rome is Done. What an utterly silly table. Instant Drain ramps, extra ball earned from taking silly chances on said ramps...and throw in a two-ball ROMULUS mode that nets you over 100m when you complete it. No play balance whatsoever on this table.

Indeed.. Spent quite some time spamming the southern garrison, got to 60 Mill or so.. But then focussed on romulus and got 100m + for that.. Not rly statisfying as id rather get to wizard mode to set my highs..

OT: 100m is doable.. But im more into getting top 100 scores on every table. After that top 50. An so on.

I wanted to give myself a static goal, one that doesn't change from day to day. For instance, I have scored in the top ten on two different tables but, since then, have been bumped down to the top 15 or so range. And, honestly, all tables are not created equal. I have no desire to play Rome ever again, so keeping a top 50 score on that table just is not something I want to do. Also, the lack of a Saved Game feature on the older tables means I have to sit down with at least 4 or so free hours to make a run at a new high score. I am sure i will come up with new goals if I ever hit 100m on all tables. 5 left to go

FF Done

Fantastic Four is Done...until the Leaderboard reset

[rapierdwit]

Blade Done. I will say I got a bit more appreciation for this table getting over 100m on it but it only made me think that this table is a few tweaks from perfection. Multi-ball is where it is at for score (Not counting wizard mode, which is where the good scores REALLY are) ,the fact you have to hang that upper flipper out to prevent SDTM drains on normal ramp shots makes me think it was a.) not planned or b.) not well thought out. Come on, who can hang a flipper out to divert a ball DURING multi-ball?!?!

[PassivePatric]

I managed to get over 100m on blade last night, i am going to take a long break from that table now.

On to the next table, Iron Man (think i have 75ish m) or Rome (97 m), i really don't like either of 'em... That romulus multiball keeps draining before i get to collect the jackpot, does anyone have any tips on how to finish the romulus thingy?
