Post by HaakeWhats your favorite skill shot? I really like TZ's but like all the
others I've tried, after a few times its easy. BSD's is a pretty neat
idea also.
I wish I could say that I have played all these games mentioned, but
unfortunately I haven't. So, I have no idea the details of each skill
shot. In addition to naming your choice of game could you also please
describe the skill shot for me and anyone else who may not have played
the particular game.
My favorite is when you press the plunger, launching the ball straight
up the shooter lane and into the orbit, while holding the left flipper
button, allowing the ball to loop around past the diverter at which
point the player has to let the left flipper drop and then flip it
again to shoot the ramp that is lit to score the skill shot. I'm not
sure where the diverter was but I'm guessing at around 11 o clock area
on the game. Imagine if the diverter was at 9o clock..that would
increase the difficulty even more because there would be less time
between passing the diverter and the ball reaching the flipper. It
would be better if the game was spring plunger instead of button
because it would take a balance of skill to plunge hard enough to pass
the diverter, but not so hard that it increases the speed and
difficulty to make the next shot from the flipper. Flip too softly
and the ball doesn't reach diverter. There could also be a pentalty
if the player chooses skill by holding the left flipper, and then
plunges too weak so the ball doesn't go through diverter. Alas, those
are just ideas. Anyway, I'm not sure what game it was but it could
have been MM and the Damsel ramp.
