Official Pinball Table Guides

Sorry about the typo on the shaman guide m8

[Hermit Shark]

No worries - without your guide I'd have no idea how to play this table! The official instructions are a bit ... sparse.

Oh I have completed them m8, a member from these Boards was helping with the proof reading of them. But they should be available soon.

I doubt you will be disappointed with these

I can't wait for the Empire Strikes Back guide.I find now that I have figured out a large portion of the table I've actually gotten worse at playing since now I'm trying to do specific things. ESB was my first experience with electronic pinball and now I'm hooked. I picked up the Avengers table and your guide is very helpful even though I find a table quite difficult. Just need to keep practicing! Is there a good place to look up the basic pinball skills (bouncing ball to other flipper, save gutter balls etc...).

Thanks for all the hard work you put in.
Suggestions on next table to buy? (playing on android tablet)

Hoju ca check out the helpful tips on u tube, there are a few really good ones that show you flipper passing and bang back saves. Also cloda from these forums has great tips as well.

Welcome Hoja_ca well I guess you could take a look at this video - Click Here

Basically explained the basics of the Skills which you will need to work on to improve your playing ability, also I think you should check out the Fear Itself & Moon Knight Tables they are beyond awesome... not to forget the Blade Table as well.

Great to see the SW guides up! Most grateful for the effort put into these.

I saw something in the Boba Fett guide that made me wonder if the table is different on PS3 and Xbox. When explaining Rivals mode, the guide says:

"the Goal here is to get the Ball into the Right Plunger; this is achieved by sending the Ball through the Mini – Loop (1), then hitting it with the Top Left Flipper so that it can be sent through the Quick Skill Shot Lane (11). After which you just need to launch the Ball with the ‘Launch’ Button on your Controller so that the Ball lands in the top Sink Hole of the Plunger"

I have never had this happen though. When you enter Rivals mode on 360, you have to hit the ball into where the A, L, S targets used to be with enough force so the it shoots straight up to the sink hole. It never goes down to the plunger to allow you to shoot it up there that way. If you don't hit it hard enough to reach the sinkhole, instead of going down to the plunger, it gets diverted back to the main table.

Just wondered if the way you have described is true for Zen Pinball 2 on PS3 only?

[ShoryukenToTheChin]

Thanks m8 for the complements,

Yeah the way I described it was a for sure way of getting it into that Sink Hole although I might have added the Launch part when it wasn't needed... by all means your way seems to work also, so I would say do what your comfortable with.
I try to make the Guides as detailed and accurate as possible, but of course some typos etc. always rear their ugly heads, as long as the reader gets the jist of what to do I strongly believe I have succeeded in what I set out to do.

Oh ok, well if there's a choice of how to do it then fair enough. The point I was making is that, as far as I can see, it's impossible to do what is described in the guide because the ball will never go down to the plunger. You either shoot the sinkhole directly from the upper-left flipper or you lose RIVALS mode. May well be that the method you outline is how you do it on PS3 though, which I wouldn't know.

On another note, jolly useful to find out how to divert the left orbit from the R2 bumpers to the right inlane on ESB. I've played that table many, many hours and never realised how to do it until I saw the guide. Great stuff.

I actually think your right about the Rivals Hurry Up I'm just thinking your info is far more logical but either way hehe if you get into the plunger lane whether it goes into the Sink Hole manually or automatically it's covered.
