Deadpool Pinball!

[OriginalEther]

I didn't get the table when it game out, but decided to give it a shot after seeing the trailer for the upcoming movie.

Visually, I find the table a bit chaotic; it certainly not Masters of the Force. Though, given the nature of the character, the tone fits. The audio and voices, on the other hand, I love.

Modes and missions, from what I've played and read (haven't done them all), are creative and well done.

The tables difficulty, or more specifically the manner in how it's difficult, is my main complaint.
- The missions themselves, for the most part, are very reasonable.
- The different mission difficulties is a great idea, and one I would like to see more often in an attempt to cater to those that find most tables too easy. The scoring for that, from what I gathered, does need revised; it really doesn't seem worthwhile to try to attempt it in hard.
- Much has been made of the center ramp, which doesn't really bother me, though it hasn't hurt me too many times (fingers crossed).
- I've made it clear in the past the I don't like high-strung slingshots at all. Far too many times, I get punished by them when I did nothing wrong at all.
- The crux of the problem, I think, are the cross ramps. It's a very difficult shot that carries a lot of risk, as a missed shot often finds it's way to the outlanes. But worse, the table revolves around those shots, so you can't really pick and chose when to go for them. Which ultimately means 95% of the players out there won't get anywhere on this table.
- Ultimately, the table seems like it's going out of it's way to cause a ball drain.

Still, I am enjoying the table, and am glad to have gotten it.

You're not the only one, and that's fine. Deadpool as a character is (purposely) grating, so the table fits his personality. Obviously not everyone is going to love every single table we release, which is why we continue to make more all the time. Sorry this one was not a hit with you - but I'm sure you'll find more in the future that you like.

Everything is ok ? Really ?

also while playing I suffered a ShoryukenToTheChin, when I was in the middle of the wizard mode multiball my ps4 controller died!!!! all my balls went down the drain.. no more jackpots for you and oh by the way reset the table for me to

Oh why do I have a feeling that name is going to catch on for this....

Do you think that it is fair that after a "skillshots" there is a high probability that the ball falls on the "out" and automatically You are losing "save the ball" and there isn't possibility to save this ball without losing a "save ball"?

this happened to me a lot today.

you have a choice : do you want skill shot points, or ball save active.

I wanted points because I was trying to win the tourney. seems like every time I made skill shot It went down the out lane to the grenade save.

Yeah I'm sorry that I can't like this table also. I want to but the slings are out of control. Hoping that future tables don't stay on this path of deadly slingshots like this one and SW episodes IV, VI. I overlook it on the SW tables because they are awesome, but Deadpool....

I already knew my slipper dreams didn't stand a chance in the once a year tournament, but maybe Zen will have something in the future where I could compete for a chance to replace the glass in my coffee table caused by the merc with a mouth.

I'm a big fan of Zen Pinball and play this game from the start. I have all the tables, which came to ZenPinball2. I have some nice records (Neuroup on PS3) and you can't say that I'm newbie. I want say with full responsibility that Deadpool is the worst table and one of the most annoying table. Something is wrong with him.
Only I think so ?

"To each their own", as the the old saying goes. I personally love this table, while the Plants vs Zombies table is my least favorite. It all the matter of your your tastes.

I play most of my pinball on the Vita, and View 4 seems to work well on most tables. Same issues with Deadpool. I struggle with my timing when he's dancing in front of the upper right flipper. I suppose that's the point, he's up to shenanigans and supposed to get in you way.

Scored a pretty decent 289M on the table... each time I get a high score, it's been the result of completing a few main and side missions to get the jackpot around 3M a pop. Then getting a sustained multi-ball that runs in to the others. Had a single pop at Chapter 6 but was so excited to complete all 5 that I lost concentration! Does finishing Chapter 6 launch a wizard mode?

In landscape orientation I play pretty much every table in view 6 (damn near perfect)
In portrait I play in usually 3 or 4 (whichever gives the table the most tilt)

Any news on the guide? Btw i love your guides there awesome!!!

Working on it, hopefully will have it done early August since as I'm going abroad on August 7th for 2 weeks.

Thanks for the kind words.

Neither of these 3 views i feel very comfortable playing on. 1w is annoying because when deadpool dances on the left bumper, he obstructs the upper left flipper shot. View 6 just seems too "far away" compared to other tables in the same view.

Well I managed to beat Issue 6 (Wizard Mode) on Hard Diff setting, yes some things are quite hard to hit consistently. Overall the Table is a blast to play.

It's fun to play when you get a real "flow" going. Only problem is i'm having a real difficult time doing so. I can complete the chapter missions on easy. couple on medium. But overall i haven't had a really great game on this table yet. Think a few days ago i put up a score of a measly 28 million and that got me 11th place on the leaderboards (After they got fixed).

I even adjusted the sensitivity of the upper flippers to see if that was a problem with hitting those combo ramps at the top.
Also the views of this table really bug me. On most tables i play on 1 or 1w, some others, view 6 overhead view.

don't get me going on that stupid purple smoke too....

That grenade saver is a god send

you can actually make a death save if you time it right and it bops right over the grenade and onto the flipper

with how damn random the drains are on the table i like to keep that grenade alive as long as possible, that is unless the stupid ball drains right off a skill shot
