## Analysis

A gameplay video of Black Knight Sword of Rage pinball featuring a player (DAS) achieving a 536M score. The video showcases advanced gameplay techniques including mode selection strategy, super mode exploitation during multiball, and a massive single-shot combo during retro mode that generated approximately 150-200M points by stacking multipliers. The player demonstrates knowledge of shot sequences, mode completion mechanics, and strategic ball control.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Super modes during retro mode provide 3x multiplier on points — _DAS explaining the massive 150-200M shot: 'I was doing that during retro which is three times the points so I was getting like five to ten and then to the cat... when you hit this shot it cashes out with all the supers... it's like you hit this one shot and it's just... 150 to 200 first time that happened'_
- [HIGH] Avoiding collecting Santa Maria during the game makes the playfield less thin and preserves options for multiball — _DAS: 'I was intentionally not collecting horse Santa Maria could it makes for dangerous my priority it makes the play a little thin and stuff it's better to have that go during the multi ball'_
- [MEDIUM] Red mode is more likely to complete than green mode — _DAS: 'red mode is like you're more likely to complete red mode than green'_
- [MEDIUM] Super modes in retro mode functions as a pseudo-wizard mode if executed correctly — _DAS: 'super modes and retro is like is that's like the wizard mode if you do that right you get drop it'_
- [HIGH] The sword shot carries over between modes if lit; once solidly lit in a mode, you only need to hit center shot first to activate — _DAS: 'so my sword is still lit when it's flashing you need to hit it first once it's solidly lit in your mode it's going okay so it does carry over if you start it lose your ball'_

## Transcript

change my mode I don't want to start at least Lords oh and I got the worst one okay now I'm happy [Music] not messing around we're gonna kill this worm real quick alright doesn't work on that side buddy so I was I was intentionally not collecting horse Santa Maria could it makes for dangerous my priority it makes the play a little thin and stuff it's better to have that go during the multiball because really hit everything anything that was a weird strategy choice course that shot was the shot that was going to destroy you sometimes you have to take sometimes this man stupid waste my bossy the lock shot yeah but that's what killed me last of all to I wasn't nowhere I'm multiball so I'm just gonna finish the mode which is there it is I got my extra ball I didn't tend register yes that's two so I'm gonna get my mode going but I don't want that mode you got greedy for a second [Music] it's hard to complete multi functions you patent the same shot and it doesn't really show you the mode shots and multiball so I'd rather use another mode that I hopefully get other stuff perfect red mode is like you're more likely to complete red mode than green Oh [Music] there we go folks Center shot left shot cash that in real quick told you I got a hundred coming alright that's how you do the bar oh and I'm in retro mode look I must've done a lot of hurry ah Lazarus right start my super modes right away this is when super modes would be your best friend I think I used all the good ones snow pops is great so it's super pops I'm gonna let my balls drain get those free pops [Music] super mode baby super mode super bows I could have got greener I just was like I want to see what happens who trying to be Jack dangers score on the street I have no catapult most of all Oh super modes and retro is like is that's like the wizard mode if you do that right you get drop it no that was those super pops shopper dude no look going nowhere alright so now we're gonna do we're gonna do some sword upgrade mode the the sort of power or fury or rage I can't remember so now I have my blue shot lid now I can just hit the center shot ten times in a row let's see if I can do it all in one go there's one now it's this shot ten times what I have to do that first I'm done well it's gone I'll take it still a juicy baby Wow right here right now 530 yeah big time wow I don't know how you did that you need to tell me after this game is over how you did that Thank You Neil Neil dice is a man man that was sick that's a Jesus that's a GC on this machine that's the wrong one oh man you will not go up there will you aah everybody out of the pool no you called it they weren't allowed oh yeah you don't hit the left side stick okay don't make a couple billion for like 50 so I was doing that during retro which is three times the points so I was getting like five to ten and then to the cat that's probably the best thing I've ever done and it's nowhere near no well I don't know about everybody so those are scoring you super well and I believe the more you have it gives you multiplier so you had a third one gun you can afford one going that's what I did in that mode so by the time I did it all those points were adding and then eventually when you if you hit this shot it cashes out with all the supers try to avoid then what did so hang out all the points I've made which is five thirty forty fifty million or something and then it multiplied it by three because of that retro multiball so it's like you hit this one shot and it's just guy look at 150 to 200 first time that happened I was like some girls watching me terms of sway and my boss yeah cuz like I looked up like ah geez see coked up so I just got it so my sword is still lit when it's flashing you need to hit it first once it's solidly lit in your mode it's going okay so it does carry over if you start it lose your ball you start but you just gotta hit the center in first so that's definitely a short plunge hit it safely situation [Music] well wants me to hit that one so I'm just gonna try it whatever our kid just lit it timeout cuz I just want to hit the center shot a bunch more times it's easier there it is if you did the high jump and yet I'm only three modes in but I'll take the high score my goal is black castle so that lit the super and I hit that so I'm just it's like if you can keep them going throughout your game it'll like change the way you think like do I want to hit that left orbit because that'll cash out my supers work where I wanna keep getting more points for whatever ah I'm gonna go I'll take it Wow Wow 5:36 baby and more credits Morenstein all right now it'll show us how it says the super champion that's how much I made in one shot wow that was the Jaffa 280 I don't know if that includes the points before but that was
