Tilt

[Soulprayer]

Hey,
as my pinball skills are not really good, between n00b and average somewhere, I want to learn some 'advanced' moves.
When watching some pinball videos, I've experienced I can save a ball drain on the left and right side, when rumbling the table at a specific moment.

But sometimes, the table get locked and I can't use the flippers anymore and the ball drains.
I'm convinced, I do something wrong.

How are the rules for that "tilt" and rumbling thing? I've not found any specific help for ZP2

Thank you.

Regards

you have 2 nudges, on the third it tilts. after 15 seconds it resets. I think its the same for all tables.

After 15 seconds it resets one of the nudges. So if you nudge two times shortly after and then wait 15 seconds and nudge again you get the second warning again. If you're careful and do a soft nudge you won't get a warning at all but in order to save the ball from a side drain you don't want to risk a soft nudge.
I think the reset times can be different on some tables. On Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 for example it resets very quickly from my experience.

No! The first tilt warning usually resets in 8 seconds and the second one in 7 seconds. That's 15 seconds in all. A few of the older tables reset in less time than that and a few tables (Wolverine, Ghost Rider) give you 3 tilt warnings instead of two.

Only eight seconds for the first one? To me it feels like an eternity

Cool, thanks - that helps a lot for getting better. :-)
