## Analysis

Carl D'Angelo and Steven Bowden commentate the first round of Free Play Florida 2018 A-Finals playoff matches on World Cup Soccer and X-Men. The commentary focuses on machine condition (notably a malfunctioning left orbit gate on World Cup Soccer), player strategy (particularly the post-pass technique and left orbit exploitation), and tournament mechanics. Zach Sharpe Parks demonstrates a dramatic comeback from nearly $100M to nearly $700M on World Cup Soccer by mastering the left orbit post-pass strategy.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] The left orbit gate on World Cup Soccer was not working during the tournament, forcing balls safely into the lanes instead of around orbits — _Carl D'Angelo discussing machine condition during live commentary; confirmed by both hosts as an ongoing issue throughout the tournament_
- [HIGH] A player may not choose the same game throughout the Free Play Florida tournament; if you choose a game once, you cannot choose it again unless you defer — _Carl D'Angelo explicitly states this rule and notes it limits top seed advantage and promotes eclectic game selection_
- [HIGH] The post-pass technique from left flipper to right flipper allows repeated shots at the goal on World Cup Soccer, enabling billion-point scores — _Multiple players discuss this strategy; Zach Sharpe Parks demonstrates mastery of it to recover from low score to ~$700M_
- [HIGH] The goalie on World Cup Soccer was exceptionally difficult during this session, blocking most shots — _Carl and Steven note the goalie 'has magic powers' and 'is regulating the entire goal' multiple times during commentary_
- [HIGH] The magnet on World Cup Soccer at this venue was exceptionally strong ('Papa Duke strong') — _Carl and Steven praise the magnet's strength and note it saved balls that would normally drain_
- [MEDIUM] On World Cup Soccer, if you score three goals before multiball, the game becomes significantly harder with different award sequences — _Carl speculates about striker setting difficulty increasing based on observation that players weren't advancing to Three Cities mode_
- [HIGH] X-Men has Hellfire Club and Brotherhood targets that can be completed to light villain mode or Blackbird awards — _Steven and Carl explain the mechanic during X-Men first-ball commentary_
- [MEDIUM] Wolverine mode on X-Men requires 10-11 hits depending on sequence; fastest blinking lights indicate correct direction for shots — _Carl states Wolverine at this venue needs 11 hits, slightly less than usual; game provides visual/screen clues for direction_

### Notable Quotes

> "Papa Duke strong... it saved me twice. I had to give props to the magnet."
> — **Steven Bowden**, ~13:30
> _Unusual praise for machine condition/maintenance; 'Papa Duke' reference to designer John Papaduk's World Cup Soccer design philosophy_

## Transcript

 Hello everyone and welcome to Freeplay Florida here in Orlando. I'm Carl D'Python Anghelo. Steven Bowden here. We're going to catch the very first game here for the A-Finals. We have top 24 players. We're going to be on World Cup Soccer in just a couple moments. I particularly mean World Cup Soccer. If I make comments on that, we can have some opening comments on that. It is indeed. Yeah. Very nice. Spinning that soccer ball the opposite way. I guess it's tradition in tournaments, you know, providing that nice spin on the ball that I experienced some magic down where I thought I had a caught ball and all of a sudden it spins out. I was like, okay. Yeah, that's right. I'm just a tournament player. Come on. Let's go. Wake up. Indeed. But did you take advantage of the gate that was not working? No, I didn't. Do you want to know what gate? Yeah. The gate at the left orbit? Oh, okay. So that, all right, so that, okay, that confused me because I was like, okay, the gate that was always on. It was always closed. Yeah. Yeah, it would never open. So I kept shooting the left orbit a lot. Yeah, exactly. Until I realized, okay, then it would come down and you could catch it on the left flipper a lot. Right. Most of the time. Right, exactly. And then that's how I got one billion. And then I saw Jim get two billion. I was like, okay, he should do it more. Exactly. Do it more. It's all about that post pass from left to right. You can get it down and then keep repeating that shot. and yeah once I saw that on my second entry in I was used to it not being used to it coming around and being dangerous so I wouldn't try it until I shot it the ultra spinner and I was like oh okay let's go then exactly shoot your goal stop the soccer ball and just do that all day almost over multiple for me yeah really I mean I was thinking about well can I can I make it to the final in less than a billion I didn't make it though I didn't because I think was the striker setting hard though because I only got like, I never got to the Advance to the Three Cities. No, I never did either. You're right, I never did. I usually do it by accident. So maybe you had to get all the striker letters every time, and it was harder because that would just fall into that award, you know, to take care of the first easy striker, get that out of the way, the penalty kick thing. And all of a sudden, oh, there's three goals before multiball, and then the Three Cities happens, and I come out, and that never happens. Right. And then when Jim got his $2 billion, I noticed his next award after that was three goals. He didn't get any. He didn't get another. Yeah. I was like, what? That's a huge skill. I was like, wait a minute. This game went from here to like way up here. And when I saw that, I was like, you didn't even use the three cities? Oh, my goodness. But I guess I'm right. You can see now, if you're viewing, you can see the magical series of games we had. Up in the corner is Radical. Then we got Dracula, 30 million. What is that? Is that Jack's Open? Jack's Open. Devil's Dare. A suspiciously friendly Devil's Dare. I don't know why. Yeah, indeed. Right? I was surprised. I mean, you could play extra balls so you could get those right targets down, which I did do twice. And I was like, all right, we're ready to play. And we had Grand Prix, my favorite EM, Barracora, with their special rules, double and triple scoring. Very nice. Playing very nice. Quick draw and TX Sector. Yeah, TX Sector spinner all day, right? That's when it kills you. And it kills you often. Right, that's the thing. That's when it's TX Sector spinner. But you shoot that right spinner, and if you shoot it too clean, it will bounce against that wall, get your two mega awards, your two mega levels, and come right back out. And you're dead. We're on. We are on. We are on with World Cup dog soccer 94. All right, Zach Harts. It looks like he's going to take care of the goal first. Maybe not. He has a chance to think of it. Wait on it. Wait on it. Now, the scoop on this World Cup seemed to be very easy to get in. Yes, it was. Compared to all other World Cups where you hit it over and over. Damn, that shot. That handable? I mean, like, that hit was clean. Yeah. Wow, that was too clean. Okay. Even the whole bouncing off the kickback in there, that worked the one for me. On the other hand, the goalie seems to block every shot. He had magic powers. It's amazing. He had magic powers. He did. I don't know. I mean you see the resting position is quite central I mean, yeah, if you can notice on the top if you're viewing at home You didn't notice when he stops he kind of stops in the middle. That's what it just regulates the entire goal that way But yeah, check out the soccer ball. It is fitting the opposite way is fitting toward the player So be ready There's one see if he goes after the goal again to get his first easy striker word If it's late, we're going left orbit one down and nine to go. So I heard someone getting a multiball and not shooting for the jackpots, but just shooting for left over. Right. Yeah. And it's certainly viable because you get it up there. And those bumpers are live. So lots of times I shot there once and I get three zitties lit. Or it was fine. Get it? Yeah. That magnet needs a magnet there. Yeah. And this magnet's pretty strong. Yeah. It saved me twice. I had to give props to the magnet. I was especially surprised at the strength of it because even when you come down the end lane and bounce over, it wasn't enough. So I used the magnet, and it actually grabbed it for me and let me have another chance at it. Right. He's talking about this. Yeah. Right there. Doing the grab. The one that everyone forgets to use until they're already walking away from the game. Oh, I should have used the magnet. It had a lot of spin on it for me one time when I did it, where after the magnet grabbed the ball, it flew off to the right. Right. You have to be careful, especially if it doesn't stop vibrating and it's just sitting there. Nice save. Good slap. Yes. all right see what else boss will work on mr. Matthews because he could have caught that I mean it lands pretty safe from that orbit most of the time this is penalty kicks let's see you're gonna go for it's gonna take his take his s-word nope he'll go for it he'll get it though on the back end though there's lots lit there we go catch this on the fly nice all right you felt it Hold it off. Now, it's going to hold it here. This was happening toward the end of the night where it would hold it here and it would wait for a ball save. You've got to be careful. Hopefully, it will act right. Give it a little push. Yeah, give it a little bit of a thing. Here we go. Usually, the ball save is okay. It will put the post down, then let go of the magnet. And by the time the ball falls, the post is back up and everything is okay. It's just stuck on this and tape put over the magnet there. Yeah. And it's just kind of stuck in that crevice. It'll do it. Watch it. Watch it. Okay, that was surprising that it didn't... Yeah, it's fine. It moved a little. Oh. There you go. And we're back and better than ever. Hopefully I didn't break his flow. Let's see what happens. You're in it. You're starting to fire a little bit. Then you have that happen. Again, no chance of a rubber on the outlays. Don't even think about that. So anything that's missing is in the potential great danger All right, it's like into the struggle I don't win you the goal Maybe take a ramp to set up the shot Oh Smooth felt it one goal is lost here Morocco okay, he's got 35 for this. Okay, so The special challenge is on so you can hit the button to light the goal after you score it one time, right? Let's see if we get in there really quick and then relight it really fast We had Dan Scholar of Project Pinball taking a picture in the booth here. And Multiball's daughter's got Ultra Spinners. They're loading that up. It's pretty good. Really would like control, though. Just a little bit of it. Not even a lot. Oh, no. There they go. Yeah. The drain change. It begins and ends. But 129, you know what? It's not terrible. Nogoli has magic powers. Yeah, Nogoli is regulating an entire area up there. He is not giving much of a quarter there, even when he leans to the right. It's not very far. You can really see. Big respects to the people in the chat this morning on this lovely Sunday morning here in Florida. Chris Warren going after the goal at the start. It's not bad. I mean, you get your goal. It's $10 million plus $5 million bonus per ball, right? So don't slouch on taking the opening goal. An early magnet use. That's all right. I was going to be going off the flipper there. So, you know, do whatever you can do. all right I guess feel the kick when we take it got it clean all right work on some more s-words it's got two more to go spirit and speed you hit those white the white shots to complete us oh please please like a ball but no it went around the world and caught a piece of left flipper but not enough to slap save it And so there is our status at the end of ball one. Mr. Matthews with the early lead with 129. And Zach Parks did not do much of anything in his first ball. No S words, no goals. Let's see what he goes for. Another goalie. Oh, boy. Okay, you better take advantage of that because that was looking to get on its way out. Yeah. He's doing that. Well, you can see where he is. He's like, uh-oh. Hey, we're back. And you can see where he was. That was kind of a desperation. Ah, that was, yeah. I know exactly what that drain is. He held the left ripper up thinking he was going to get a piece of it, and all of a sudden he didn't, and his ripper was still up. Right, right. The amount of times I've drained that way, I can't even comment. I'm going to get a little bit of it, and then I'll use the right. Oh, I didn't. Oh, no. All right. There we go. Got him. Tick to goal. Ultra spinner. That's a very nice award. Of course. Let's do it. Perfect award. Load that spinner out. Filling the kit. Filling the kit. He's going to take the ramp. Let's take the ramp now. No, he took the kit. All right. He made it. 30. Made it. No problem. Now we ramp it. All right. A little late, but it made it. Let's see. Let's see if Derek knows. Okay. Good, good, good. Good, good. All right. So he's not using his magnet. So we could try to bounce over it if it doesn't make it. See what happens. Wow. Wow. On the fly to the free kick. And we have a perfect shot. Here's the pitch. And no. Just a bit outside. Backhand. Let me try the backhand. Let me go for the. There it is. Look at that. Look at how smooth that was. I mean, you saw it. Never seen a woke cut like that. You could even argue he was a little late on the backhand and it still went in. It still made the right turn into that hole. So the margin of error is pretty big. $40 million for a shot. Always feels good to get that first shot in because here comes a kickback. How about a dunk ball? Nope. Doesn't want to do it for him. That's three blocks. Four blocks, but not that one. Got it. All right. Relight that kickback. At least that's my priority. Yeah, get that kickback now. Let's even put it in the goal and so it comes around so you can get a kickback shot Alright, there's a free one Like that kickback just nothing else is late just to kickback get it He almost got back to me Take all the spinner too late. He was able to kickback. He was too late on it. I don't know balls active again now Alright, there's one He's going for it. He's going for that time. Definitely is. Reversal to Fortune. Oh, and no! Too, too, too, too rough there. Yeah, the tilt's pretty tight in this game. Little too rough. You could tell. I mean, it was like maybe an inkling that he might get away with it, but nah. That second danger was really quick and you knew that was stack three. But, a 283, that's not insignificant at all. I mean, I'm sure you wish you would have had a better multiball, but... Kind of where it is on this game. You get one chance. Yeah, there's a lot of weight on it. Bob Matthews with the unofficial official weight stopwatch. Go turn it. And as we wait here, I mean, I guess we can discuss that left orbit you were telling me earlier about the gate, right? I mean, we haven't seen many people take a big advantage of it yet. Not yet, no. Not yet. So it seems that we'll see if Bob will maybe adjust strategy there. Since he has to start over on his soccer ball qualities there. He has no essence. He's got five shots to go. So maybe he can just go load up the spinner, make some progress. Maybe he should just go. Hopefully he gets the ultra spinner or the ultra jazz. Either one will be good. Right, either one's good. Either one's good. So Christmas is that chance of being good. So what we're talking about is when you light a city on World Cup, normally the game will send it around the orbits past the lanes and come screaming down here and, you know, ricochet and, you know, all the fun stuff in there. This gate up here is either disabled or has not been working the whole tournament, which is fine. Neither. But so all the balls go into the lanes to light tickets and then safely feed this direction if the ball is not spinning. Oh, time for some TV. Yeah, but against that goalie. No. No. The door is closed. Just don't even try it. We wisely complete some soccer ball for it to light the lock. So there's his three goals. This could be pretty big if he can start multiple now. Three ultras lit. Ooh. Very important save coming. Ah. That was three goals and three ultras gone. Yeah, there go the cheap ultras. Yeah, the best thing you want to do is get those three goals and start multiball right away. That way you're probably going to get $120 million worth of Ultras. You get Ultra Maxxins at $40 million. Especially if you get to a place where you're able to stack Ultras. Yeah, they're going to get massive. Stacking Ultra Spinner. Wait, what? You mean I have $40 and now I have another $40 coming? Sweet. All right, a little bit of Ultra Jets. How much are we going to get? Wow. Oh, wow. Very disappointing. Yes. Oh, get it back. This is bad. Take that out. Relight it. Will he shoot the right ramp? The right? No, he's not. Yeah. Because that doesn't always grab it from the right because it's all coming around too fast. Okay. At least that right ramp is asking for trouble. I mean, the reversals on that is pretty bad. But again, this game is fairly friendly. Even when you half ramp it, it's not terribly dangerous. terrible here we go they used up his magnet already so that little safety net gone see what happens here all right take the ramp and here comes a setup shot for three no what three no off the left all right you got all right Oh, no, he's late. All right, so we know what early and late look like. Oh! That was a little forced move there. Nice hit to bring it back. And now, hopefully he's seen the backhand from the other players. He has. Surprisingly, it didn't go in. No. And there we go. So it did give him the shot. I mean, you know, we can't fault the game too much. It gave him five chances at it, four or five, including a backhand, which had a look at it. Right, right. And it didn't go in. All right, Zach will probably give it a moment. I have to see those dangers, if he in fact did see them. We have a stream up on one of the TVs over here, but it's the Twitch feed, so it's delayed by late. So, yeah, you can watch. People can walk over and watch their dreams. Right. It's like, oh, what great thing. Oh, what are you doing walking over here? You just had a great thing. Oh. It's a way for somebody to troll it. Like, you know, somebody to lock it. Like, he didn't lock it and walk around disappointed so they think you drained. You know, so you start molding balls. And then you walk back. And then you walk back. All right. Zach is up, needing everything. Come on. The world is yours. Let's start it by getting that last quality. Speed. We need speed. Ramp. Orbit. And hit the middle. All right. Either one. There we go. All right. We're done. Now lock and flip. some super jets for you nice now he's seen the post pass if he's been watching the stream he's going for the right and it's dropped now he's gonna get a shot right at it because there's a ball sitting there uh oh all right get in there because that would have been dangerous if if it went to a ball search wow all four different services and then just All right. One goal, one city. Where are we starting? Morocco at 35. There's the first one. Nice quick shot there. There's the first one. Relive. There's another one. He's back in his game. Ah. Still got two. That's two. And parting gift. Three, two, one. Grace period over. All right. So, he is no longer in the doldrums. Let's see, where can he go next? He can start loading up. What's his ultra? Jet? Yeah. Load up the left orbit. If the game will give him control. There it is. All right. He's got to go for the goal, though. Yeah. No, he went for it. Hey, we went for it another way. We got it. Got to stop that ball. All right. Ultra ramps. And we just heard the striker light. It didn't show on the screen, but I heard the tones. More spinners. Yep. City, there's no ultra depth waiting. More. Nice. Nice. Two cities. Next one, Boston. Boston Tea Party. Oh, he tried to tip! Oh, nice! He almost made an error on the tip, but he recovered. left spinner for Boston Tea Party. There we go. Roll nice. He's unlucky with those rolls there, the one over the left. Good decision. That was right in between whether it was a bounce over or a tip. Great shot. Now he was very much in this game. Some more cities. Boom, yup. This is getting serious now. He's got the post pass down. Nice. And you just keep loading this up. He's got that orbit down too. Yeah. Those million gems ain't bad either now. Take another city. Now does extra ball light on Washington DC? It does not. It does not. So no 50 million. Alright. Usually when you get to Washington you get that extra ball and on tournament settings 100% that'll be 50 million, but hey, you just gotta keep pressing Welcome to San Francisco Look how consistent that is you just have to be careful that it doesn't Sting you with a bad feed that just barely instead of landing nicely. Let's go off the joint. I'd be oh that was close Yeah, I was look faster. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you had to make a decision there and he or I was gonna recover it He recovered it though. Alright, next one. And again, look at what Zach is. This is coming from less than $100 million and he is taking a significant lead. That's two studies ago. That's the way you start to feel it now. You know, you're right there. And then the big red light's going to light. Nice decision. Alright. Okay. Will he let it now or will he have to take another trip? game says no take another shot got to complete both inlanes you can barely see at the top there so you can get one more in lane and then Los Angeles will be lit here it is take a free goal yeah all right all right this is the tough shot here yeah on the fly or goddess and now welcome to Los Angeles host of the World Cup final give him a chance at it all right all right now measure it oh early and early give him another chance at it try the moving back in oh I can't watch oh that was close here it is boom oh it almost tried the messenger in there moving back can all right he came back from less than 100 foot up nearly 700 and so now that everyone else has seen that I guess the itinerary will change for everyone it's gonna be left orbit everybody sees how friendly it still is nothing's changed over last night you know thanks I am no physics of the night settling or anything no you know and that's out yeah come back and coming back yeah all right that was close he's gotta do it he's gotta take care of that goalie you know there is all right now he doesn't have a kickback lit so we gotta get gotta take care of that Boston Tea Party all right that's that feet was a little less optimal but he got it he got it back doesn't have the post yet all right we go lucky lucky about the sponsor was the tea party nope too late on it the tip over and now Boston Tea Party done and it did not give him another chance at that yeah all right but it's 450 or so 490. all right that is significant work for bob and chris if they're going to want to try and recover some points here but at least i hear that bob's lock is lit yep okay now i see it is like i hear the lock music now i can see all right step one no Okay, all right just trust that one again shoot that ramp like the lock get that lock Thought that was gonna be waiting to get controller. Yeah, all right TV war 50 million shots at the striker hole Don't be distracted by the fact that you still need a lot. All right good A little tapping We've been here before Time is ticking Time Time There we go It's a shame that some time had to go off the clock Because we could have started Maldivar with that running That could have been interesting Yeah Keeping that 50 million lit With Maldivar running At the goal anyway alright back in now he could have waited for it yeah you need to wait for it alright he's ready I'm not saying anything else yeah alright advance two ranks for Bob to go to Canada and he left off at Morocco and the goalie is just regulating the game ok finally we see a chick in the armor that's one that's two If we need to be lagging with the ramp, we can fall into the saucer one-timer. Oh, get control. Oh, this is button time for me. Yeah, there it is. Used it. There it is. Wow, nice. Okay. sweet now there we go put it in BAM nice give another chance yes amazingly the ball fell on top of each other and they both stayed in and one goes and we'll probably get to see a score and he has 666 with one ultra and some goals I I guess that's bonus coverage. Yeah, that's close. Yeah, he's got enough cities to cover it. There it is. Okay, so now that gives him the lead right now. Awesome tea party. Boom. Again, we're not even stopping. We're not waiting. We're just going. We want that full value. Bob playing much more on the fly than usual. This is going to be going. Yeah, let's go. Another goal. Boom, take it. The great ultra. Yeah, we want that ultra spinner. Yeah, that was a bit of a reticent attempt at the slap because he knew he had bonus coming, so he doesn't want to lose that. But his magnet was lit. He should have given it up. I forgot the magnet. Yeah, I just said it. Always forget the magnet until after you walk away. It was wild. I knew it. Like, I bet you it was too far. Yep. All right, well done. All right, Chris has a hill to climb now. Yep. Chris sees his job in front of him, but he does have step one ready. Actually, he has to re-lock a ball if he wants to. There you go. Of course you do. Yeah. You could accidentally go in there and just get a two ball. Yeah. Who wants two ball? Who wants that? All right, Chris. All right. Here we go. There's the lock officially. Now, again, he has no magnets. He already used that. All right. Ramp transfer. That's good. And the pitch. And, wow, amazingly late. Second ramp transfer. And, oh, that hit the back. There it is. Nice. Okay. All right. All right. The long journey begins with a single step. Step one is number 10 ranked Austria for $40 million. So, it's going to be like five or six goals. Yeah, we will. I think so. With this goalie, that's a fair one. Okay, surprising. Oh, wow. Oh, it came back and went off the ring. That little metal piece, they rolled back in it. Clip that. Somebody clip it, save it. Oh. Parting gift? No. Yeah. Well, at the end of that exciting game one, if that's what we have to look forward to on this group, we're following the right group here. as Mr. Fred Richardson finishes the official particulars of match number one. Bob Matthews takes the big three. Zach Parks comes back from nearly nothing to get two. Derek Fugati with one, and Chris Whirlwind with zero in the first game. All right. It looks like the final game just finished on TX sector. Fred's inputting those scores, but here's your standings after round one for most groups. Let's see. We're Drew with the early lead. Who else? At the expect is being put in and Shannon Stafford with the lead on X man. All right All right Impress our yo Carl D'Python Anghelo is gonna move the camera Maybe able to hear Fred in the background taking care of next Game choices, you know We have to wait for the entire round entire round of games to finish before you can pick the next games It gives the top seed the power of choice of all the games or order as they see fit a Rule that has been mentioned especially implemented you might not be used to is that a player may not choose the same game throughout the tournament So you chose World Cup Soccer. You cannot choose World Cup Soccer again for the rest of the tournament. So you would have to go through the entire lineup unless you defer. So there might be some strategy there. So that does take a little bit of power away from the top seeds. favor of promoting a more eclectic set of games for the competitors. As Carl is just about finished we have moved the rig over to Stern's X-Men for game number two and Carl is returning to us now as we're about to begin some X-Men. That is the furthest game possible in this room so I'm hoping the wireless All right, let's see. Let's see where we are. X-Men is about to begin. We hear the orchestral music in the background signaling Magneto's attack. Looking solid. Here we go. All right. Zach Parks. I assume Zach Parks shows X-Men he has the top seed. He didn't beat him. He's working on his whole fire club targets first. That must have been me. It just seems like it required more Hellfire targets to start. More Hellfire and more Brotherhood to start. It was my illusion. It was your imagination. It was my imagination. I haven't hit them yet. Come on. But there are two targets on the side, on the left and right, which Carl is indicating right there. There's a Hellfire and there's a Brotherhood. You have to complete them a number of times. Sometimes the screen will show you. If you can look up, it'll say Hellfire Club and one more hit. So if you can hit one of them, there they are. Now they both turn on. That's the signal to the player that the Hellfire Club is available, which conveniently turns the villain light on without you having to complete the inlanes. So that's the deal. That's normally two inlane completions. Right. To the live villain. Right. But if you get one of those Hellfire, we go to those multiple, just says, let's go. It's a bit of a shortcut. We're going to start Wolverine's heavy breathing tour down the lab. Now, was this the accidental start, would you say? I think so. Yeah, I think he backed into it. It's sort of him and the kidney there. I mean, I don't think he really meant to hit him. I mean, it was sort of like a side play. And so, but he's going to work with it. See how far he's away from his add-a-ball. He's pretty far. He's got at least one more completion of the in-lanes in order to light his Blackbird. In order to light the Blackbird or the Villain, you've got to complete the in-lanes. And it'll rotate between qualifying a Villain and lighting a Blackbird. And on this game, the add-a-ball is one of the mystery awards. And he's not gonna make it. No, he's not gonna make it he would have to have hit it through the grace period and then still Get it. I think I'm all about ready. He's probably gonna want to start a hero first or a mutant I guess Before he starts that villain mode See who gets control We are ready still for Oh Oh, 10 hits for Wolverine, which is slightly less than what I'm used to for the next Wolverine. Usually the next Wolverine is 11 million hits after the first one. But this one needs 11 hits, so that's not too terrible. All right, stepping up to Derek. See if Derek goes after his side targets first to prime up a nice multiball, a little bit of security. Again, soft plunges all day, absolutely. He goes after a skill shot, maybe an early lock. Let's see. Let's see, Brotherhood shows the number of emblems you need. It doesn't tell you the number. Plus, it goes away kind of fast. So that can be a little bit inconvenient if you're trying to keep track of it. Hellfire is a little bit more cooperative. And an early Wolverine again. Oh, Wolverine, let's go. Yeah. Let's do it. So Wolverine, you've got to shoot the correct direction to get the most points. Now, you have two clues of it. The first clue is the faster blinking lights is the right direction. And the second clue is on the lower right-hand corner of the screen, you can see the arrows pointing to the correct direction. So whichever way you're looking, shoot that direction to get the most points and advance down the lab or hallway or wherever he is, the research center, to get to the end. Head to the right. Head to the right. Sometimes the game will not let you head to the right. All right, he's already got stretch for the middle target, Which is I think a million a shot now believe so in the latest version Elusive very elusive when you need them Wow, let me tell you very elusive because that center shot it seems to be way earlier than I think it is when I was in there nice, okay, 900,000 Oh a nice backhand for another 900 Wow already he's done first first lap done 2 million plus 3x bonus And again, we continue keep doing this as many times we need to do it with increased values It's same thing same same game plan just worth slightly more now Well, I'll give that yes nice good job Right half desperation mostly skill That was an interesting drop catch with two balls in the drop catch. Maybe bounce over. Yep. Okay. Take your time. And nice. Head to the right. Four points. Nope. There you go. And he can head to the left and get other points, but they're just smaller points, and they don't advance you down the hallway. All right, head to the right. Head to the right. All right, Blackbird, he's already used his edible, right? Yes. We won't get to see what that was. Maybe some Monosex. Maybe I would take that. Maybe some Pops at 4,000. Right, yeah. 4,000 Pops. Where my Monosex? He's tearing this up. All right, and hello, Deadpool. Deadpool has been hired to help fight the next villain. So when he can make it to the next villain, which he needs one more rotation of the inlanes to get it, he'll be able to get that when he comes out of this multiball. And he's already at the second lap finisher. Another shot for a million coming. Hit that middle. Pardon, Giff? Oh, maybe. He's going to get a chance at it. There it is. Nice. Took it down for another four million. Sweet. And more multiplier. That was certainly boosted in the ladies version. I think another two million two million to show up there right for okay Excellent Wolverine multiple down each It's gonna catch it out he's gonna bounce over now so we're still relatively safer. Oh Okay Nice ball from there Nothing too bad cuz Deadpool was hired to help my gun that would have been helpful there Definitely to get some free hits on them, but decent bonus almost five mil And that is pretty significant really significant damage Alright mr. Matthews will he Also be working on some side targets and whatever validation slash ball state period he can ring out of this game Oh mistaken full plan all yeah and the ball Steve cares not that you're in the pops it's gone and get it nice Working on some beasts. Now, in this one, can you start more than one hero at once? I do not know. I never thought I was going to do that. Because I think you can. Because I was thinking I had started a hero and I hit Wolverine and he made a noise. Like it progressed. So I'm thinking maybe. Well, I know Wolverine is a special case. He's that multiball hero. I wouldn't say. I haven't played one where you can start a hero. Because usually you can just turn on total happy Wolverine. You can start everybody at once. Yeah. It's like I've never played like happiness. That'd be fantastic everybody and take everybody here Whatever happens you can only just get one villain at a time. That only makes sense, but you can just have everybody world Show me that game. Yeah Chris Warren steps up when he sees one significant score and to also ran do you think he might go for some side targets no go over the initial skill shot he's still not valid yet so you have some options now he's not going for locks from Magneto now come back he's trying to get rid of that early lock a little too far All right. Pounce over. All right. Here's his first decision. Yep. Take a lock. And whoa. That went off. Okay. That magnet was on. Yeah. Hit the right target. Activated the magnet. And he hit it. And he was gone. I mean, a fireball. I mean, a fireball right down the middle. And that was powerful. Zach is back. And his villain is lit because he still has his Hellfire ready. You can tell the Hellfire target is lit over there. So hits on those won't make any progress because he's already at Hellfire Multiball. So if he can get in there. Again, I guess it's going to be up to him whether he wants to take a mutant into this. Or knowing that he's down by 25 million. Just press it. Right. Take the safe road or the... This is what the finals is about decisions like this And again Magneto still sitting there unfinished so that's what he went for all you pay for that So no more balls these validation still there, but you can't just it now without a ball. See second chance at a lock All right, this isn't time he's going he's going for at least one Newton's gonna start somebody He's got one more for Cyclops, one more for Rogue, I believe, if he didn't start that already. Nice backhand. Now he can take this into the building. Nice catch there, too. So he's going to go for the villain? Yes. Nice. Okay. How far? How far? Oh. No, he went for Stentles. Okay. Okay. All right. We're going for it. Now, someone was talking to me that leaving your Hellfire or Brotherhood lit makes it easier to get the villain lit. Yeah, it doesn't do the thing. It doesn't do the thing. Yeah, because I tried the thing. I wanted to know if I could do the thing when I was in the garbage entry. I was like, okay, no, it doesn't do the thing. Okay. So I think he's going to have to re-earn this. Okay. Because I remember being like, oh, okay. So cool. Nobody can do that anymore. Well, yeah, you used to be able to light hellfire. Light one of the protocols, then just go right for a villain, finish it, and then it would be lit. Right. And then finish all the villains really quickly. That disappointing sentinels. so we'll see when he comes back whether he has to re-earn that villain i believe he probably will yeah which means he'll yeah i do yeah yeah put him far back it's what six scoops that's like yeah and it's not that it's not that uh the kick-out's not that dangerous right and it's not like i've been rejecting a lot i mean you know you would hit in there it would go in there yeah yeah it would would be fine all right they're exciting the situation he has his villain let he does not have either hellfire or Brotherhood ready so it's a regular villain for now let's see he does take some luck off of a side surface somewhere who will he choose who will he choose will it be sentinels will it be shadow king okay difficult shots for a big point first shot of show no save that all it just drifted right on out you should get just a little bit late I'll take the first shot on shadow king is that professor Xavier's I was just to the left of the blinking lock there on Magneto that would have gotten the point started but I didn't give a chance like we're going like you're not ready to shake it we're out of here all right mr. Matthews is next with no nothing ready to go just be he has only one only his first lock done and that's it I believe yeah just he's done in the first lock that's it that's rogue started no no it's not think at this point I just be up to just shooting cyclops and storm combos until I fail if you just keep it in that flow it can really help all right rogue you're done nice shot there good job A little ramp action. A little Wolverine. How many hits are left? We're not sure. He was going to light that lock no matter what he did. He was going to use his upper flipper to light it. I don't care. Alright, that's two. Even though that center lock is not linking, it is active. So, you might think it's not working because it's not on and the other two locks are lit. But yeah, that center lock definitely will work. Clean shot through Beast. No problem. Beast laying down. That's three. All right. Gets in the back. Okay. One more hit. One more lock to start Magneto, but it would be at a relatively cheap value. Yeah. He has one hero done and one hero half done. Yeah. He's got another ball coming, so I would hold off on that. Yeah, exactly, but he's going for it, it looked like. All right, there's Iceman. Oh, no. Okay. Get ready for that up and over thing. Filling into it. Ah, a little late on the shake there. All right, so that's where Bob is. He's going to have basically one done, two mutants half done, and probably plunge to start multiball. I mean, depending on what everybody else does. Assuming he retains second and doing ball three. At least at the start of it. On qualifying, Chris blew this game up. I don't know if he ended up at the top, but he was really close to it, if not. All right, Chris. Now, he's got to get lock one done first. He's like, yeah, forget it. Forget target three. He's like, I got to get the lock done. Now, it may be time for Wolverine. The Rogue's here. That bounce is getting a little bit more trustworthy as we go along. I'm surprised at the amount of time it's done that. I don't know, has it been that way throughout the tournament? No. Look at that. I mean, that wasn't as good, but again, it wasn't terrible. No. I mean, it wasn't terrible. Whoa, that's one. One unit damage, two unit damage. all right he's got other targets around the transform rogue and other things but the best one is always a rogue one for another two million and we're still alive man all right Professor Xavier sometimes that shot will give you credit for a storm as well this one doesn't whoa nice also miss blocked by the game Yeah. All right. Bounce over. And he doesn't fully trust the bounce over because he's using that left flipper sometimes. But, oh, no. Good job. Recover. He's back. That will light the building. And not a cheapo. There's the cheapo. He came from El Cheapo. My Iceman started. but he did waste his Blackbird award he's gonna have one more completion of the inlanes to light that Blackbird again and here comes the sentinels all shots are lit to take down the sentinels potential for about eight million total for the sentinels by itself this could be decent value get it ah again the same thing we saw in the first game where you hold that flipper up you think you can get a piece of it and then too late you realize you don't have a piece of it and the flipper is still up and you're dead I mean that's the aim is so common I'll just almost feel better knowing that I'm not the only one that's convinced I have it I guess typical all know all right well we have our question answers I did not have to re-earn a villain it's bad it's back look at that so that's the guy do the first thing he Okay, get in there and let's start Hellfire. Really? This game's wide open right now. He can Hellfire. He can shoot the lock to try and get somebody out. Brotherhood. Okay. Just get in there. Oh, my gosh. I'm not sure. Backhand scoop. He doesn't remember that he has Hellfire ready because. No, he's got... Oh, he's ready for the big one. Okay. That's not bad. Okay, yep. He knew. See, he knew what was going on. He was like, look, let's take this one. And when he comes out, then for sure he would have his villain ready. Yeah, it's the 700, which is, you know, not great value, but it's not poor. Those guys have been increased as the version of this game has addressed So with everybody else's scores, it's not a bad play He's only needs one more completion on the inlanes to light his out of all I just see that stage on a ramp That was beautiful. Well done You need to okay that'll light the scoop Oh No, no Thought he had to already you work on those saucer hits there scoop rather I still split there yeah take little saucer hit little scoop make progress nope don't we like the magneto ah all right wait on it wait on it it's a little bit of me like oh there we go now now it's time now let him see his choices come on game all right get back over there you're ready for no fire club Oh shots a little shots combos hopefully Deadpool will show up making all the shots yeah it is more all this is ball stay not a problem this is all no problem here all right ball stays gone add ball that's fine everything's coming back that one's coming back the other balls coming back he's made quick progress in the Brotherhood Deadpool it just showed up really quickly it flashed Deadpool there he is taking down somebody boom done now the big points start rolling in you can get this treasure up and over nicely done set it up again not quite as good but he will survive that pool again so when does that pool like show up when he helps me so like during every combo it seems like if you combo during it then Deadpool kind of shows up because you get combo you have to use combo to get him and then if you combo while you're in the villain then he gives you a little bonus right yeah all right we have a ball spec right up here yeah in the lane just sitting right that spot Jim even though he's playing looks like he's going to help out. Right. By the way, here comes Fred. Here we go. Fred is running the tournament here for us. Running the A division. And Dan's running the B. Fred's the scorekeeper and TD now. Question is, did the interlock get the staples? Well, it would remember them, but the ball save light would come on. As long as that setting has been set. Ooh. Steve believes Deadpool helps you just from switches. Okay, that's sweet. So if I can put it in the bumper area, he'll come out and just start wrecking people. Okay? So, okay, I'll take that. All right, so we do have Coindor, boss, and sweet. So it should be good. All right. All right, just a few moments and our show will begin again. We will take this time. I'll take this time to plug Indisc. Come in January to Indisc. If you've never been, it's going to be huge tournaments. We've got tons of different divisions this year. We've got our main tournament. And we're all the card-based system this year, like the old Papa, like Papa used to be. Okay, right. Set-based. So he has five games on the main division. Everything else is four. Two days of classics. We're going to run our first ever high stakes division, which is $50 a card. Nice. Wow. Bring your money. Yeah. Bring your money to the desert. Oh, man. Yeah. Let's see how that goes. $50 a card. Who will be brave enough? Exactly. Interesting. All right. So, yeah, January 11th and 13th should be a good time. It's always good to go out there. I mean, you know, just. They're going to have all the games available there. All the pinballs available. All right. And some bids also. Sticks? Yeah. And that place is huge. 500 games, I think. Wow, nice. All right. We're back into the action. Back into the action, and Debt Pool has helped us. 600. Oh, I said 500. 600, excuse me. I was off by 100. And Zach has already went through one rotation of the Hellfire Club you saw that quick cutaway to that panel that doesn't look like the values not really good for killing no there I think isn't well up a quarter anything about 25 maybe and to the value he's got another villain as load his eggs hole but this involved to me right right right shadow King if the magnet will stop messing with his balls first shot is the Charles Xavier in the upper left corner over there by back Nino that me my ice man is still here you can at least have two mutants running at once yep all right I swear I'm done good points nice man running rather trying to find it all right there you go all right so that's one who lights oh all right good value for ice man he's got a fire Cyclops free him from the spell of the shadow king bounce over oh the backhand he just that was just a bailout I mean he was the name he was a very good that was the name for it though now he's working on it all right who else was be free from the spell oh that one didn't fall in the scoop surprisingly another shot at the shadow king those points start growing pretty quickly but you don't get a lot of time to shadow king now we have Phoenix ready see now we're getting to that point where if you can get if you can start Magneto 2 that's what it's like Million a shot. Okay, go get it. The world is yours. Oh, a little high off of Wolverine. But next to the ball puts him first right now. Oh, yeah. And five million lead is significant. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. So Derek's going to step out. How's he going to get five million? How's he going to get five? Well, how close is he to a villain? He's not. He doesn't have either of his Hellfire or his Brotherhood ready. He used up his first Wolverine, so that's going to require at least a few hits to start. He might be just at the point of starting some decent mutants and cashing in on some two millions. Let's see where he is. Well, there's a safety net going. Alright, Rogue is ready. can't you rogue that's two million and here we go oh that was a shot at it it was a second shot at it yeah he's going after some points anyway just it it was not just road and other points available there he's just trying to turn back you know this yeah there it is all right it's the one rogue and some lock Not will let the bounce over that it should we should do it and we're ready to go Right once we have there we go. All right Four million ago, I think No less than that three million ago now And where is he at six hundred thousand so cheap value there but yeah, you only had to get to finished And that was it. I guess he concentrated on Wolverine and Rogue, coordinated a light there in the middle that indicates who he's done. He's done Wolverine and he did Rogue. So he's going to get six out of the hit. That's that of all. So a little bit of chill time. Not much. Bonus time. Flail time. Free time. Free time is over. Free time is over. And the balls know when free time is over because they decide to leave. And one has decided to stay for a bit longer. Okay, he's at 35. He can hit that side clause right into the ramp, and he's got the lead. He might have the lead anyway. He's got a lead on that. That fine Now luckily this is not the premium They don have those nightcrawler targets popping up the method Started over on lock so he hasn't had his first lock yet, right still try this Yeah, this is the first one. Yeah. All right next villain ready No multiball villain yet. He hasn't done that yet Set nose with a quick points saber tooth to light everything on the board. All right It's like little cheap old 50s until you Get the right one. Meanwhile, not crawlers there with his 500,000 a shot, I believe It's points points points I'm out of here. Stop wasting my time. I'm out of here. Alright, where is he? One more to light the Blackbird. Wow, where is the right? Where is the correct Sabertooth shot? Come on, we gotta... Going to the left. Now to the right. Good bounce to get it out of danger. He senses the danger. Their legend game has been on. Oh, it's got down, yeah. Yeah, so one thing about the speed right here is there's normally a post on the ramp right here. Right. So the ball will bounce over to the left of it, and it's broken off in this game. Okay. So that's why you see a clean down the middle from there All right, so that's 41 for Derek versus 33 for Zach and now mr. Matthews of the villain and How many locks? at least one Because he's got one and he's primed the others the other three he was trying to find out He's not going to tell him. No deal. Did he land in the villain? Oh, yeah, that was... That's what happens when you full-plunge sometimes. And here comes another automatic plunge. That's Wolverine. All right. Yeah, he was trying for those side targets. He hit them once. he still needs two of those hits when he finishes with this in order to light the hellfire club multiball but you can make up a bunch of points from here if you get a couple of laps done two million four million your bonus acts can go up but one thing he does have to work on is his blackbird he has a one more lap one more lane completion of the inlays to get it oh whoa I did check those shots and with the grace period and he gets it done there it is now we'll give him one ball back I believe you think it's too late to get the other yes it might be one all right all right there's his first move down the hallway of destruction Wolverines rampage whoa that was a seeing eye straight down the middle where we're going we're not going to a multiball that knows all right so yes that's here potential for about eight million from his from this Alright, needing to start some other heroes. Let's see, this is lock number four. Okay! That's season time. Okay, that's good. He's like, my kingdom before a status report on how many locks I had. He could have went through that whole thing and never known that that was number four. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't know. He was just taking risks on it. What's his value going to be? I mean, he does, he still has his sentinels. let's hope for the eight and a half million didn't get from here and then put this on top of blackbirds lit for the edible and 800,000 oh no oh come on three two one that's it that's too late yeah more time for sentinels and I has infinite time 89 seconds for the second right hit Wolverine where we have not all laid on the left flipper he did get a little piece of it on the right but not enough for it to help him there 23 So, Chris Warren's long road to stay in this tournament, really, right? I mean, because he has a zero now. So, he needs to get something here. He needs to climb up the ladder. And his first goal is $23 million. Well, he was focusing on Magneto earlier. Yeah. But he doesn't have any value there. There's nothing there. So it's not worth it to start, in my opinion. Fall back on some Cyclops combos, maybe. Get some people started. Still not valid. Still not valid yet. Let's see what happens. Valid now. Valid now. And Wolverine is... Oh, he hasn't done Wolverine 1 yet. No. Okay, so... He's got potential here. He's got three lots. Wolverine. He's going for Magneto. Here we go. Yeah, he wants something. This is not going to be enough. At what, 650? 600? Yeah. Maybe less. This is too started. Not even too finished. And the one he started is not even Wolverine. So even the Wolverine's hits, the cheapo hits, aren't even formatting. You're right. It's Iceman, Lamp, and Rogue. So there's not going to be a lot of energy damage taking off this man. I mean, that's an edible. That's an edible just in time. He might get all these back. There's a hit for 600. Okay. Yeah. Because he did finish rogue there, so that'll help. Whoa. Drain train. Drain train continues. All right. No. I was about to say just get on that get back on that horse Chris, but no the horse through mom done It's like no we don't get time to think of it All right Derek with that three-point win gives him four Zach now also has four and Bob also has four believe right so yeah Makes it interesting last last game here no tiebreakers then for sure we are in three two one zero for scoring here right so no point bonus for the winner all right I shall move the camera as the car with the camera to the final selection for our opening round we can look have a look at the other matches in progress the dark Dan Coyle was for Adam McKinney before Janet Stafford is through with six he is doing the next round so game three will be on the very dangerous temperamental walking dead there will be no mercy there will be no rubbers on the outlanes there will be no misses allowed Other than that, it will be a nice casual game. As Carl wheels over the very convenient wireless rig over the battlefield. We'll get to see just how dangerous this Walking Dead is. It's pretty dangerous. One thing that is not as dangerous, I mean this is the standard edition so there's no magnet for the well Walker so at least we might see people pounding on that but everything else is vicious because of the no rubbers on the out lane so there's no really chance to save anything that heads over there and also as a bonus don't touch it like you know hitting it a bit breathing on it wrong way and I'll caution your danger so Fred Richardson our tournament guide is leading the other groups we have we have a devil's dare we have radical and World Cup will be coming up guess the door reset here this is the 2018 free play Florida circuit event tournament in Orlando Florida 24 people qualified out of 110 I believe players that we're just about ready Carl is on his way back here and ready to go and we'll see that the initial decisions will be important. I mean, because really every decision can be your last on The Walking Dead because any mistake can be your last. A made shot could turn out to be a death. To be death. Alright, Carl's back. Carl's back. Just talking about how every decision on this game can be your last. How every decision on this game can be your last because of the lack of rubbers on the outlanes and the fact that you can't touch it very much. Yes. You can't look at it the wrong way. You will get a strike for it. So even made shots off of targets can be bad. Only then it's relatively safe. I was going to say the well walker, but we see what happened there. Yeah. Well walker handles his business as we expect. Yeah, everyone's wondering why the score is so low on this game. Right. If you look at the qualifying end, you'll see right here it's the bounciest walking dead. The drop targets are bricking. Yeah, it draws Basically those qualifying scores It's a frowny face It's a frowny face Basically you stepped up and you were rolling the dice Could you get on one of those three balls Could you roll a seven And put everything together Would the game allow you to start a mode And then start a multiball And then start bloodbath And then start 2x scoring That's your ball, that's your ball of the tournament So you better do it now And that's where the 140, the 180 million is coming from. That's where they are. It's from that one ball. Did you already talk about how this is on competition settings? No, I did not. So you cannot light modes while you're in a multiball. Very important. I need to set mine at home on that. No training wheels. Yeah. No training wheels, like Josh said. All right, so that ball stayed. All right, so that thing hit in the house. Sometimes hits on the prison didn't work either. So you got to be careful. If you shoot it too fast. That's extra hard. Extra hard off-tose. All right. Prison lets him live the drop. All right. Every shot is stressful. It's like you just want to collect the ball to get an opportunity to get another dangerous shot. Even that was a potential waste of a shot. It's like balls that don't hit anything. It just seemed like a waste. You want to always make progress somewhere. Derek's not wasting any time just trying to Wow, that ball rolled down And then it caught little P I saw it do a little bit of a knuckleball on the way down That wasn't straight No, it wasn't It did a little It had a little It had a little wiggy hit Yeah, I was like, what was that? It was like, okay, this is good off the tip No, it isn't Alright It's not enough The problem with the off though is it's Hitting some air off of the magnet Maybe. Going slightly over. Because if it's too clean, it's just, no. Yeah, exactly. I found the shots just to the left or to the right of it were the ones that were good. Right. You don't want to hit a dead center anyway. If you hit a dead center, you're going to take it down the middle. You're going to take it. So. Right. No. No. Let's look at Bob Matthews' initial decisions. All right. That may have been a decision. Mosel it. That's fine. Whether it was or not, let's start something. Slow it down. Slow it down and choose something. Anything. Was that a go for the tunnel? No, no, no. Yeah, we knew that was coming. I figured maybe he was going to the tunnel. Maybe. You know, being as generous as I can. Yeah. Because he did with two shots at it. I mean, with two shots at that area. So I figured maybe he could steal a tunnel start. You know, steal that. And then although you really want to save that for multiple, I guess but Really just take what the game gives you at this point. I mean you can see we're picking up scraps here All right, we're going to see chris's decisions as he's playing spoiler going straight for the bricks Boom, there's one One more to start the prison round Will you survive the drop he will survive the drop? All right, moving progress. That'll cause him a danger, absolutely. That failed post pass nudge will cause a danger. Here's another one. He cannot move. Don't breathe. Don't breathe. Don't breathe. Okay, you can breathe a little bit. I'd like to see a mode started. I'd like to see a mode started now. Thank you. At least it's barn. Bounce over and just load up the barn. Not counting that. Not counting. Oh, that was close. Ramp to multiply? Yeah. I think we're getting to that point, yeah. Knife into the barn. Uh-oh. Okay. Now ramp, multiplier. Barn, sweet. How much? Eight. Decent. Doubled, yeah. Decent. We're not done with the barn. That's right. It's four and three-quarter. More barn. Another doubler. Another. Boom. Barn it up. Bam. Double five and a half. Got a multi-kill flip. I mean, I guess it is just paper. Oh, yeah. You don't post pass when they're blocking that. I don't know if you just saw that, but you do not do that. Oh. Good touch Alright We're not done That was 6.2 And a multi kill So he's thinking Do I really want to do that again He's trying to No no no You don't You don't That's just walking down Yeah Yeah that hit didn't count that hit big town oh and then he took it out of it nice ball though yeah good job this game solid and yeah exactly as far away from pretty much anything yeah the star doesn't have the well round started and They also had the prison round started. They still had to use a hit for that. I mean, does it get to a point? I mean, he's just playing against two other players. Does it get to a point where we just start loading up left-handers for bicycle girls? I mean, what are we going to do here? It's not like he's close to anything. I mean, he'll have his ball state time to mess with the target. And that's it. They'll have three seconds. to hit some targets. And if he happens to complete them, then we'll be in business. If not, then he'll just be picking up scraps off the ground. Hopefully he'll light the extra ball to get that. If he can start the prison, he'll add some high-value shots, some relatively higher-value shots on the board. But he would have to survive the drop. He's going for a mode. That's two strikes? No, one strike. Surprisingly, one strike for that. Take a prison shot. Nope. Take a well. Keep going well. Keep going well because well is the less dangerous of the dangerous situations. Oh, it didn't count. Not enough. Trying to edge him. He's trying to get off the edge because you hit him solid. And here we go. Goodbye, everybody. He was trying to do it right. It just wasn't good. Yeah, it just wasn't good. All right, so 3.63. So he's already. Yikes. Yeah. Nothing. What, five well hits to go? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no skill shot. He was trying to get that skill shot because the bottom rollover is a little temperamental. Sometimes it wouldn't work if you roll over it too fast. Oh, no. All right. Oh, that hit didn't count. That hit didn't count. He was ready to go. Bring him over. Oh, no. Oh, no. You don't post pass. Let's walk him through it. Get another chance. Here it is. Here's the shot. Don't do it. Just this goal. No. Oh, wow. Oh, look at that. He's got to get it. Take it. That's big. I got this post pass. I got it done. I don't know. He has to win this game. Yeah. So, I think he should have brought him over with this. He should have taken the chance at those drops. It was light blows before getting in there. Yeah, I'm ball-chained. That extra ball shot didn't count. It was lit, but the game was still thinking there was some ball coming out of the trough there. So it did not give him his two-and-a-half. Danger. All right, so, yeah, that holds. It couldn't hold. Yeah, that's right. He doesn't have to be. He doesn't have, right. If that holds, he's good. Ashley has beat, he has beat one. Let's see, if that holds, he's good. If he passes. He just needs to pass both. There's one. He just needs to pass one. Right. Zach or Bob. Right. So, yeah. He's got a shot there. Certainly does. Bob just, he's like, get a little prison hit just to start the round. There it goes. Oh, okay. Now, all right, so now we've got the prison started. I will start the round. And that is straight down. Damn magnet. That is straight down. And the game was still delayed. Like, it didn't even know. I started nudging the left and right when that's about to go. Try to get that side-to-side motion on the ball. All right, so vault. Vault. That's where we are. So, wow. Like, Chris is feeling, I mean, you know, he's playing for pride, but there's a lot of pride he's showing right here. 53 million. I'm telling you. He's like, look, I'm here. All right. This is what you need to do. Do it. And there's still circuit points to be had here. Right. So the higher qualifying position, or the higher finishing position, I mean. Oh, come on, housework. Yeah, that wasn't right. Nice move. Let me prepare that egg shot for later. Two more prison shots. All right, here comes one. Here comes one. Oh, he saw the post pass work. If he did it, we'll give him one more shot. Just take it, take it, take it. All right. All right. Boom. Nice. Here we go. Well, you can't start a mode during this. Well, you can work towards bloodbath. And everything is lit and whirled. But how do you advance through this? Is it just alternate house shots and then the same sort of pattern? Or you can do house shots only. Mm-hmm. Because the, like, right now you have to hit the prison. But not that. You can shoot one of the lit shots or the prison. The light of the prison, I guess. Right. And then if you, you know, have a miraculous ball, you somehow get the siege. Right. Which I think is harder to get to than anything else in the game, just about. Oh, almost Lazarus. So you had to keep that flipper up in order to defend. And, oh, that one's going down. And this one will stick around for a little while longer. Yeah, have you played Siege? No. No? Mm-mm. Josh, have you played Siege? Have I played what? Siege. No. None of us have. Nope. All right, he's got one more mode to... I think it's my closest ever. It's not there, man. There's the challenge for this game. The new Validarn. Yep, play Black Man Standing and Siege in the same game. All right, where are we going? Are we going to the arena? No, we're going to go to CDC? No. Yeah. Yeah. One more completion for Bloodbath. Yeah, I think so. Because he's got the modes lit. So, let's just start bloodbath now. Yep. Oh, oh. Dirty, dirty well walker. So, that will mean his modes are not lit and he won't have a chance to light them now, right? Or will he? Well, because his blood completion, well, he would go in the bloodbath and it wouldn't light because the bloodbath starts. Right, right. That would take over. That's what I'm thinking, man. Mm-hmm. All right. Alright, Mr. Zack, it's gig time. Alright. Get in the prison. Wait. Is this the final prison? This is prison. No, this is just to start the... No, the prison's blinking. No, it's just to start the shots, I think. The house is blinking. Yeah. Yeah, but that's just to start the initials. Oh, okay. Alright. Alright. I was like, wait a minute, that looks more exciting than I'm used to seeing. He's only 11 shots away. Oh, crud. He's three wells away, though. That small little three. There's two. All right, confirms the two. One more, and he lives, and he catches, and off the side. No, will he get another shot at it? Will he get another shot at it? Yes, and there we go. Well, welcome, multiball. Just keep pounding the points. Just fling and flail. Let's go. Go, go, go. the party's still going the ball say you're still on like no real progress to bloodbath but whatever that shot was doubled or at least I yeah yeah use this to X the extra ball live for some points that airs the two I play feel well done he's got it that out oh let's see how many points that state was worth for that in lane rather wow three more on that shot still has the extra ball for two and a half million well five million oh he was going after it holy post pass and go for it yes he's gonna go back and go the extra ball it's still five million and the 2x is gone for a little bit more and now it's He's gone. Modes are lit. And he's stuck on that extra ball. Yeah. Now, now, the other thing is worth a little bit more. Yeah, with these modes lit? Yeah. Yeah, just go get one. Go get some Barnes. He got it. All right. Yeah, go get that Barnes. That's what I'm saying. Go to Barnes and get that. Because that first shot was Barnes. Yeah. That's what happened. Oh, gosh. Okay. No. nice hit. We still have not selected our mode yet. Barn mode no. We're trying for barn. We really want it. Post pass barn. Oh no. Go up the arena. Alright. Boom that's one. That'll take it. Another one in a row. Whoa big. Double this one. Double it. Big big big. Oh big big shot. Woo. That was a. Finish it. Keep going. Keep it going. Let's go. More. Oh. Extending the time. More. Looking towards Blood Bowl. Right. He's getting there. All right Bumpers. What you got to stay for him? What you got to stay? Oh. Okay. Okay. What target does he need? It's probably the bottom one. It was always the bottom one. Oh, he got it. He completed it. And he stopped it on the right one. Take arena. Oh, he's taking arena shots. He's trying. All right. That's it. That's a million and a half for that. You only got two more prison shots. Oh All right, that'll be it yes three One in that double arena a double might still be on okay There's a timer on it too, yeah, okay prison is all I need. Oh gosh. Oh, great ball. Well done. Well done. Yeah. Big, big pressure. Nice. That just punched his ticket. That makes it very likely he will advance. Yes. At the Great, this is going. All right, so Derek is close to not much. I could have used his well before. He welled on the first, on the second ball, I believe. Yeah, we're just on the prison round, so. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, no. All right. All right, so there we go. So Bob's got his target now. There it is. 15 mil. That's it. So he has started the prison round, right? He has started the prison round, but he's got seven shots to get through it, right? Too many. But the well walker is ready to start, so then that's five more shots. He has six shots to go. Oh, boy. What would you do? Door number one seven shots on the prison Score number two six on the well walker You have three seconds of ball save What do you do Here we go This is what the finals are about One hit on the prison, done. Going for prison, it looks like. Prison. Uh-oh. Prison still. Oh no, alright catch it another prison hit Right, that's correct We'll see if Chris can take that score down right we get one additional point for writing yeah Do we work on it? He does have bloodbath lit. We can just end the party that way. All right. Bounce over is nice. How many targets? All right. You need that lower one. That's what that looked like. Yeah. That shot looked like an early chance at the lower one. Oh, nice, yes, absolutely. It's actually better than hitting straight on. He needs that lower one, and it's just tough to not be early on that. A little bit later without hitting off the top of that slingshot. That window is so small. Or be goofy and bounce off the well walker And he might usher it into there I've had him do that I've had the well walker just put it right in there Okay Oh That will not be enough walking depth To take over First place there but Let's give it to Let's give it to Zach Parks is the arena champion and he will advance to around the 16th. All right. So we still have two games running on World Cup Soccer and Radical. I got to see. I got to find my commentary team for quarterfinals. We're playing. We are gone. Let's take a look at the standings. Let's see who I can go ahead. No one yet. Yeah. No one's really confirmed. No one. The game's actually unfinished. It won't stay here. Devil's Dare looks like it has an issue. The coin door is open. Glass is off. Which is what Group 2 was on. Radical appears to have just finished. Are you ready to play, Steve? I'm ready to play. I'm ready as I ever be. Who didn't go through from the round? So Jim goes through from the round, and who else? Let me switch back over here. Oh, my. There we go. McKinney had four. Adam. McKinney. McKinney. I could ask Bob, but Bob is in the post-knockout blues. It takes him around to come back in. Josh will commentate. He doesn't want to play. Yeah. Yeah. All right, scores are coming in here. Teo said he would come in at some point and do some commentary. He's taking a little break now, which makes sense. It's nice Carl Weathers here. Wonderful resorts that this is being held in, the Karib World Resort. Yeah, Karibi Royal. Not quite Karibian Royal. Right. But the real question is who's playing X-Men right now and who's going to kick them off? Oh yeah, that is a great question. Alright. Alright, Fred's going to go input score now. I guess the devil there is going to be our straggler if it... yeah if they're all right Adam and Jim advanced all right I'm gonna go find out what's going on with Devils there yeah and see your part woke up in front of us there so we can't really see how far that is I imagine in the late goings of that game so Carl's gonna attempt to move big over maybe in between balls but right now we still have the excellent game which is behind us X X man is turned the other way so we can't see the score at all and then World Cup has a player right in front of it so I can't use scores at all. No, I guess Adam McKinney is not leaving early. He is advancing, right? He is well in. Okay, the rig is about to move over for the final ball of the World Cup. We have a score of a Bill. One Bill every play. I don't know how to switch it. Here comes Carl. switch it over for the final ball there we go there it is so one and a half billion for Jason Wardrick and 850 for Bill Kurtz and Sebastian has just started multiball at 150 and change so he's got a long road to catch up I think this is his first first multiball starting off with number 11 try to get that first one in like goalie said don't forget I'm here that goalie had put on his goalie shoes oh wow I mean that bounced everywhere to get there Wow. All right. There's the second goal. Here comes the third goal. Button, button, button. Yeah, button up. There it is. No, he shot the ramp for that. That was a legitimate light. Kickback. Nice. Controlling that. Score for that. Another red shot. Oh. Tried to be late on it. Outfoxed the goalie. Oh, there's another goal. He's riding the tip of the flippers here. Whoa, he's still good. Oh, the ball got away, that ramp shot. See that power in late there? Oh, my God. He is off the bottom of the flipper. How is he recovering some of these? No button. Did he use it? I don't know. I don't think he's used it yet. I don't think he hasn't used the button yet. He's still at 434. and at one point he basically needs to win the game so quick button again that's trouble but they're all excellent how in the world is this live when we saw it that's how that's one of those where one flip will usually just bashes it down and it's over it was able to get the right flipper out of the way in time Oh, not that one, though. Yeah. All right. That will move forward. Jason and Shannon? No, let's see. Jason will have five and Bill Kurtz will have five. Do we have a tiebreaker? Because, yeah, Jason will have five. Bill Kurtz will have five. We will have a tiebreaker. We will have a tiebreaker to advance. All right, let me go check with Fred. So Fred will get the game choice for the tiebreakers. A good thing we did. Turn over to this game. That was a very important ball. Sebastian could have definitely foiled a tiebreaker and maybe advanced himself. But right now we're preparing for a Jason Wardrick versus Bill Kurtz. And we'll see where the rig is moving. All right. Devils there still being worked on by the way play field is up that's not a good sign and the mobile rig is moving let's see which door it goes past Jason Werdrick gets the choice of game of order. And we're going down past Paracord, past Grand Prix, past, over to Dracula. Oh, it's a beast, a monster. Now we will see how Dracula will treat our competitors this time. like everybody welcome to Sunday morning pinball it's free play Florida Steven Bowden here Carl D'Python Anghelo was here he has the wireless rig Josh Sharpe and Jim Balancito are right next to me and we are in the opening round of 24 of the 2018 Free Play Florida Papa circuit event Stern Pinball Pro Circuit event rather and our tiebreaker game between Jason Werdrick and Bill Kurtz to advance will be on appears to be Dracula it was on Dracula now the rig has moved and Carl is standing to it like a gatekeeper yeah you're right there Bram Stokers and the tiebreaker would be already nervous but yeah that would be nerve-wracking not only would you have to hit your shots you would have to put the house together correctly make sure you get 30 millions you know who won it's whoever gets it gets the game to say 30 million it's kind of over at that point that's the other player to do the same thing but at least the status report Devils Dare has glasses on so and the rig is going over Devils Dare hooray everybody we get to see Devils Dare And how will we rearrange the camera? There we are. As we rejoin the action in the middle of the vault. All right, looks like the middle of ball two action for Devils there. And we're going to get the scoreboard switched around in a moment. All right. Yeah, I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know how to do it. All right, so while we're on double stare for game three, the tiebreaker on Dracula has started. So you may hear that in the background, but we rejoin at the middle of the ball, too. Now, on this game, special stipulation was you could play extra balls. So that's very key on this one. You light extra balls, you got to light those four red lights right there, the four targets over there. And if you can complete those the extra ball will light on that little u-turn turnaround. I don't know what you call that little Little Algar looking That and you can do that you can play that extra ball go ahead But as far as main goals complete the target banks the light the locks the multiball Whoa nice nice that was on the way out See if he will if he would have the center bank or he will go toward the right target bank for the extra ball right stand-ups rather Light extra ball. Let's see And that angle right there it's pretty tough to I found it's a very very tough yeah You got it no, it's like no on a sneaky right is that sneaky that dreams very common Because it's like you think it's going in lane, it sneaks right on out. Yeah, and that's just probably a little bit right there that hits against the rubber. It goes right out. And you sort of have to kind of predict that really in advance that it might happen and just do something so that it doesn't. But Drew at 650 at the end of ball two. It's not a bad setup. I mean, mind you, Dan Carl was nearly a mil already. He's feeling better about things. But Nick Mueller. Nick Mueller. Dan was telling me about. Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had their two balls in the. Spuller was telling me about they had two balls in the tropa. Some player played two balls or something. Well, there was a flipper issue with the game. Okay. I don't know exactly why he was talking about the two balls, but maybe that's why they just drained them. We're playing only players one and three? That must be it, yeah. So we have two John plunges there. I was like, okay, why is there a no point? Maybe Nick. Nick's maybe he's been DQ'd. Oh, okay. Now that would make sense. Brian's coming up now. So if Nick's out, that gives him a zero, which means the zero's not available for Drew or Dan. So if Brian gets three, Yeah Yeah Brian's out of luck No matter what Brian gets three That would give That would He would Yeah He's dead in the water Already The game is Yeah That's the matches The matches Academic Yeah But you can see Doubles there Which you never see Right Yeah That was a pretty decent spinner So what are the multiplier rules? Is it complete the drop targets for 2 eggs? And I think complete everything for 3 eggs? I think you've got to complete everything. All the blinking shots, which is everything blinking on the play field all the time. It's always blinking. It's always throw madness. Shoot everything. Make it not blink. A little pot shot at the center bank. Good decision not to flip that second time. just to get a little bit of control. That upper flipper just provides the minimum amount of health. Yeah, it's not. What was the, yeah. Right? Just enough to try and hit those targets. Right. Just enough to graze away. It's an odd position. Yeah. Oh, so you think you might have a shot at it? It's late. There you go. Oh, there it is. Okay. Yeah, I got to use the hit the green drop target there It does have two red stand-ups to light extra ball you can look at those nice nice reaction Spitter ass bonus Yeah, okay, I've already had one there nope you hit the second target ah Oh, just a little bit early on the right flipper. Maybe if it was just a half a millisecond lead, you might have got enough to get that back. All three. If not for advancement, this is for position in the standings. It looks like the BSD game is already finished. Wow, yeah, we hear the music. We can hear the dulcet tones of despair and destruction. The game has ended. let's see can't tell from any initial body language to advance yet so trying to see yeah so some people I had a I had one player come up to me on this game they said I had licked the kickback on the left and it never it never kicked it back in it wasn't working what's wrong with the game oh no oh there's a button you have to use to use your kickback manual button don't forget I almost forgot In like a split second, I remember, and I put both flippers at once. And then I remember for the rest of the game. Yeah, that is a manual kickback. Now that, oh, that's threatened. Woo-hoo. That was a potential nudge there. Woo-hoo. All right, so now we're still messing around with the bumpers. Adding a little points. He just has that one target down there on the lower right for the light extra ball. And it had a look at it, but not strong enough to hit it. That's pretty much adding some significant bonus. I mean, that wasn't bad. I can see it scrolling up by like 300, and it comes out, and then gives you some more on the way out. I mean, that's not bad. Yeah, that's not a bad little shot there. All right, had a look at that center channel. Little lob. Oh, nice. A little lob again. Oh, boy. All right. All right. So, assuming this is a DQ. Or maybe he plays ball. Yeah, I didn't understand what Dan was telling me. But, yeah, it's a DQ. Okay. Okay. Alright, looks like we have another issue. Two balls loaded in the... Shooter lane is my guess. Fred's going to take some pictures of the scores. Hello, Nick Greenan. Welcome. Welcome to our show. The DQ, I believe, is from Nick playing exactly what happened right here, which is two balls loaded in the shooter lane. He's thinking about what's happening. Oh, okay. And he played those two balls. Oh, he just played them? He just played them. He just played them. Oh, okay. So. All right, here comes Dan to take a look. I mean, I can see not noticing that two are in the shooting lane when you plunge them, but, like, once two balls come out in the field, I mean, I guess then you can trap up. Right. Oh. All right. All right. All right. So we may be losing devils there. It's going to tighten up the choices even more for the drivers in the groups there, right? Yes. We're going to see a lot more EMs. Oh, God. We're going to see some Grand Prix. What do you think of the format without being able to pick the game more than once? It's tough. It's tough. So, it does take some power away from the top seed, which would, I mean, in theory, it would, in theory, discourage hot increase to get the top seed, knowing that power is taken away from it. Right. I don't know whether everybody knew that before we started. So, if they didn't know, then it's irrelevant. If they didn't know, then okay, they didn't care, and they kept, if you're in the top seed, then whatever. Right, right. You don't care. But, yeah, I'd rather ride a bank that I'm comfortable with, especially if I'm choosing it and I have to go first. If I were choosing it and I get to go last, that's different. That's totally different. If I was like, choose and you go last, fine, okay, that's totally different. All right, this basically locks this game in. Yeah, we're done. It didn't be all academic anyway, but yeah, but Brian was playing for points and you know certain points there All right, so there's the word devil there is out of there All right. I need to go find a commentary team now for the next round. Yeah, we're about ready to play our round so let's take a look at the final standings although the vanish once Fred builds the next round all right so Zack Derek advance we just we just saw Drew and Dan advance and then we're gonna see Adam and Jim Balsito advanced and we will use the Carl Weathers and I guess Shannon well why not who won the bill because I don't know yet yes then put the scores on double there before you can input the Dracula match. Alright, let me go around and talk to some people and figure out what's on the... We'll leave it here for now. Alright, as Carl is going to look for some commentators, everyone is... Everyone here at this desk is going to be playing too. as Carl hopefully is going to find out who actually won the tiebreaker because I see Jason still hanging around there so maybe he did bad I think the final score is going to be a tie. No word yet. As I see Carl D'Python Anghelo is in the scrum of people looking to recruit some commentators now. There's a group of people watching the broadcast, which is what we're watching, which is just the scores. So he's trying to find some people now who will come on over and toss some pinball on this great Sunday morning in Orlando, Florida. Orlando, Florida 2018 event Staring for the points saying the wrong thing anyway, but it seems like we've got some recruits coming Yeah. Now, unfortunately, there is a game going on on doubles there. What's going on on doubles there? And I don't know how to switch it. What's happening on doubles there? What is that? Oh, he is getting a game. Okay. So he's getting a game for that. So we have to remember the score that happened. There was a mil and there was like 800,000. Then a 300. Yeah. so so this is very important yeah because if he gets second so he has to climb a ladder there of about a mil we know that target but this is ball three so this is getting a little thin here Uh oh Oh no, this is going to be bad Okay, this is alright Still gets to continue playing And no kickback, oh boy And we know one target that he's looking to get Is that million Now that other 800,000 or so may be significant because yeah if he can get second then that might put the tiebreaker careful all nice good job putting that flipper back down and he can still build this up I mean that extra ball is still available at any time there's two targets done out of four just grinding it out, grinding it out took a pot shot at the center bank and lived wow, if only that shot was lit for multiball, but it is not, he would have to go through the far left in lane first, to hit that clean shot oh, and that will be all So now now we're done officially Now we're officially done Because that will not allow him to advance I believe because that was still to be drew and Dan advancing right because they had one milled in about 800,000, right? Okay, so that still puts Drew at seven and it's six probably and then that's it because Nick would have five. Oh, he's not over yet. Oh, he's not done yet. I thought that was it. Okay. Hold on a second. Now let's see if it's over. Before I saw ball three show up there, and then it wasn't. Okay. We got an extra ball maybe. All right. All right, so now we'll have the final stand. They'll be coming up. There we go. Drew and Dan advancing. No ties? One tie. There was one tie. They've already played it, though. It was on BSD. They just have to input it. Who won the tie? Oh, yeah. I don't know. I don't know who. I don't know. We don't know. Looks like, I mean, Jason's still over there. Yeah. Jason's over there. Right. All right. So we're going to get the quarterfinals started up pretty soon. Your commentators will be Brian Brian Dominy and Derek Price. Alright. Please welcome them to the stage. Alright, here we go. See ya. Next real study. See ya.
