Oh for half a second and then let's transfer it into another double Elway into a double catapult super what are we witnessing here Clark Clark got it first what What? What? What just happened? I think Jockton got it right there. Yeah, okay. That took a while. All right. What was the elapsed time on that? So first round goes to Jockton. James is eliminated. All right. that was exciting wasn't it all right our next round David Oliver versus Mark Pollock I will get them going All right. Our goal will be enlarging Ray. Okay. Mark on the left. David on the right. Enlarging Ray. This is shoot the four stand-ups. Two on each side of each ramp. And then shoot Grandpa. That's all you need to do. That's it. This is called Fast Five. It's going to be 3, 2, 1, fun. Right. 3, 2, 1, go. See, Carl, we call this one Fast Five. Yes, this is the Fast Five. Because it's five shots. Provided you don't hit something else first that screws you up. Right. If you start another character, you can't stack Grandpa in, right? Right. All right. So Mark has got it. Barely had time to describe what to do. We're good. Yep. Alright. So Mark wins the first. I want to see the replay on that. All right. Okay. This is going to be start Raven multiball. David has chosen start Raven multiball. Buffalo, thanks, and thanks for the sub. I appreciate it. All right. So this is going to be start Raven multiball. There are three lights right here that tell you how many shots you need on Raven. To light them, you have to start a character, just like most other things in this game. Yeah. Seems like start a character. Start a character, and that sets stuff up. Are you ready? 3, 2, 1, go! I think you get two Raven Lights with the initial character, or is it with a mystery? Because I've seen a lot of people have just a single character lit, but they have two Raven Lights. And I know once you're in, you can't collect it while you're in, but at this point, you drain out of this multiball. Yeah, you drain out of Herman because you've got a character and that'll light Raven, but you can't actually get Raven while you're in Herman. Right. Although you can bring Lily so you can try to start your Lily. Oh, that's true. Because Lily is stackable. Because Lily is stackable, yeah. All right, so these are best of three matches again. Mark has one win, Mark on the left. Would you try and start Lily or would you try and drain and time out? I would try to start Lily while I have multiball. Why not? Yeah, because you've got multiball. And the Raven is going to stay lit. Just what David did right there. Now he's got the ramp lit. He's only got two lights out of three, though. Okay. Mark just has one. So there was probably a mystery award before we started before we put it on tournament mode. Well, remember, David David has started both Herman and Lily. Right, we're right. Okay, so, yeah. So he's got his three ramp lights on now. All right. So how did you get that last one? I wasn't watching him. It looked like he hit Kitty. Yes. Sorry, I didn't mean to get you to laugh. Kitty gives you another light. Yes. So all David has to do is shoot that left ramp three times. Whereas Mark only has Well Mark just started Grandpa Which will give him a second life But it won't give it to him while he's in it So he needs to be shooting Lily right now So David got his first ramp Or Kitty He's trying to get the ball on the right flipper Okay Hefty nudge Well a little late again Dead bounce okay thank you ramp see if it comes fast enough to transfer oh yeah all right marks got all three now yeah David just all set up here there it is David gets that one all right we're one one All right. The next goal is 3X multiplier. We are 1-1 right now. So it will be interesting to see if these guys do it faster than the last pair did. Ready? 3, 2, 1. Go. This is the most nerve-wracking format to me. Yeah. So David's got his ball locked for Herman. All right. Mark gets his light kitty right there. So now he's going to go for Herman. He'll be my guest. I'm thinking Louie. might be well I don't know still okay yeah David got his Herman before he got the free scoop kidding so he's got to do it the long way now because ideally you want to get your free scoop kitty before you start her and then that's what because you can't get your freebie while Herman's running exactly and Mark Scott is a mark out of street but now he's got both Lily and Herman so he's got it he's He's already got two eggs for one kitty hit. Now he just needs the second one. He's got it. He's got it. All right. David wins. Because you let Lily there. So that was the Herman-Lily stack. Lily's the one thing you can stack in. All right. Our next match. Oh, crap. It's me. Carl. I'm up. It's two play. All right. Me and Mike. Who else knows how to run this? You going to sit in, Shane? Carl's gone with Start Raven. How's it going, Bob? Hanging in there. We'll see when I start to play. Thanks for hosting, as usual, Shane. Oh, my pleasure, Bob. Good to see you. I'm happy you were able to make this one. So Carl chose Start Raven. Yeah. Right? Yep. So he will probably try and get Herman and Lily early here And who's player two here Mike Welsh Mike well, okay It seems to work better ready guys three two one go Yeah, it seems to work better if I call the guy on the right side of the screen and you call the guy on the left side of okay more or less so yeah Carl's trying to get all right Mike's going for her Herman yep same with Carl he's got his ball locked trying to soft line to get it right away and there's Herman and now I'm sure he's gonna try and get trying to get it right I was gonna try and get his Lily here needs two more letters for Lily just Needs the Y. All right. Mike's got Herman lit again. Okay. Got to find it here. Carl's trying to drain out now so he can start shooting his Raven shots. He can't actually get them while Herman's running, so he wanted to drain down to one ball there. Oh, tough nudge. Mike's having a hard time getting Herman now. Carl's got two of his three Raven lines. on. Mike's got Herman ready to go. And again, you can get one for Kitty here. Not quite. Carl still trying to get that third one. Mike's got Herman started. He's going to try to... Okay, Carl got his Kitty to light the ramp. He's got all three lights lit now, so he just needs three left ramp shots. Soft plunge to get the ball to the right flipper. Mike should probably let this drain out. And he's playing the multiball. He's trying to tilt. There you go. The thing is, when you transfer, it usually doesn't transfer hard enough to get a good, clean shot. You usually have to do something else besides just hold the flipper up to get the ball over and roll far enough up the right flipper to make the left ramp. So Mike tilted, trying to wait for the game to queue back up. Carl trying to cradle up. Didn't quite get it on the end there. Just needs three ramp shots. Okay. Mike's got a little late there's one see if it comes out fast enough to transfer my straight the scoop here they post pass let's say up Carl post passes yep try for ramp number two just a hair light and again it doesn't quite roll out far enough to get it on the transfer there at least not all the time that one came out pretty fast but still not far enough Carl just needs one more left ramp. Post pass. I'm guessing post pass. Okay cradle up and here it comes. And there it is. Carl got it. Carl got it. Good job. Carl, what'd you choose? What'd Carl choose? Carl, what's... Carl! What's the goal? Spot. Spot. He said so already. Oh, okay. Okay. Cross-ramp to cross-list or you did it? Easy. Okay, they're good. Ready? Three, two, one, go. So they're going for spots, so they need to get the ramps here. Carl, there is one ramp on the right. Now he needs to transfer into the left. You have to actually get him in sequence here. Okay, let's see if he can do it. Cross-ramp, not quite. Now he can do either one since he's done them both once. And one more right ramp will do it. And there it is. Carl got it. 2-0, Carl. Okay. I'm going to take a break, Carl. All right. I need to see if I can get something to eat real quick before my round comes up. All right. Put the mic up. All right. We're back. Now we have Johnny versus Brian after I input the results from my match. All right. Anybody else want to be on the mic? Johnny, you can just do a quick restart. You don't have to plunge them. Yeah, quick restart. Hold on. I need someone else on the... I need a second person over here. I need someone else to watch. I need... Mark. I just need two people so we can see. You know what I mean? Okay, so we have Johnny on the left, Brian on the right. Okay, Johnny, you're high seed. Game or Raven? Okay, you want this game? All right, we are playing start Raven multiball. All right. Do you have a good strategy for this yet? Yeah, I think the one I just did was a – it could have been slightly faster, but I think it was pretty good. I started Herman. I started Lily. I drained. By the time I started Lily, my Herman was over. I hit the kitty to get my third light. And then just three left ramps. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Are you ready? Three, two, one, go. Yeah. When I was playing, I forgot about stacking Lily in the multiball. Right. I think that seems to be the. Oh, thank you. All right. So I'm watching Johnny and you're watching Brian? Yes, exactly. I have to fix this machine after. I have to remember that. Sin fan, thanks for the bits. So I did talk to Johnny before this, so he has a pretty good idea of what he needs to do. And he probably watched you as well. The question is, does he remember after, you know. It's true. Five minutes is a long time for Johnny. I mean, Brian's not doing too bad. He's going after what I was talking about. He started Herman, and he's going after Lily. I mean, you can even get that kitty. to get that third Raven shot while you're in the multiball. Which is what I wasn't doing, and I should have been doing it. I did a mystery instead. Well, the mystery won't give you the Raven. It'll give you the Kitty award. Yes, but the Kitty will give you the... Anytime you hit the Kitty, it'll light the ramp. So Brian's got two here. If he shoots Kitty, he'll get his third light. So he's actually just shot one Raven shot. Johnny tilted. I was talking about tilting in multiball, but the tilt screen is so long that it's a little difficult. Most screens are too long in this game, huh? I don't know why Brian's actually going for the ramp. He still needs one more. He needs to shoot that kitty target. He may not know how to light that third one. Johnny's still, okay, he just went out of tilt. He must have shooken it a lot. He was swinging it around a lot. All right, Johnny has two lit. If he hits this kitty, he'll have the third light lit, and then he needs to hit that ramp three times. All right, so I think that's what Brian is missing here. He hasn't realized that he can light the Raven on the Kitty. So he's trying it by other means. He has to start another character. Yeah, Johnny's got all three lights. Three ramp shots would be good. You were having some struggles on, I think it was Raven, hitting the ramp shots. But then Spot, you just crushed it. There you go. Johnny got it. All right, Johnny got it. Well, the recovery is really slow, but I think the bob was swinging so much, and it needs to stop hitting the circle thing and registering that before it stops its hill. All right, game or goal? All right, this game? I'm fine doing it. Goal. It's up to you. I'll do it. I'll do it? All right, Johnny's deciding who gets to pick. Brian, you pick Machine? Yeah, Brian picked Machine. Okay. I haven't played too much on these. Dark 3X Multiplier. So that's hitting Kitty twice in the same ball While it's lit That's one way of doing it Oh yeah yeah yeah But you have to light the Kitty Ready? Ready? 3, 2, 1 Go So I think the best strategy for this right now Is either light mystery for Kitty Because it stays Or you can do the Lily multiball thing as well. I think scoop to get that first kitty. Start Herman. And then tilt out or drain out. But then we saw the tilt takes a long time. No, it's that. Right, right, right. But you need two kitties, that's what I'm saying. So I would go for mystery for the first one. Yeah, but then you don't even need to drain out and then you go into Herman. Oh, right, right, right. You're right, you're right. Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm thinking Raven again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but you really want that scoop right away to get that free quick. I was actually having a lot of problems hitting that Scoot. And the other way is Lily. And Brian is just one shot away from getting Lily. But you don't want to hit Kitty before you have both your stacks ready. Yeah, just in case it'd be drained. Right. Because we saw Jockton do that a lot. All right, so Brian has two ready. He's got two X right now. He just needs to shoot the Kitty one more time and he'll have it. He tried to backhand it. Didn't quite make it. Johnny's definitely having some difficulties here. Actually, Johnny only has to hit it twice because I don't think he's used it yet. So if he just hits this twice, I think it's qualified. It seems like it should be an easy shot, but for some reason it's just difficult. Oh, no, he still needs another kitty. Brian got it. Brian got it. All right, we're 1-1. Game or goal? Johnny wants the goals list again. I'm trying not to scream into the mic by talking to these guys. So it looks like Carl was right. Johnny has a short memory. What's nice about this machine right now is that I don't think there's very much of a difference between either machine. Yeah, they are pretty close, I think. You're right. You're right. I'd rather pick the gold than the... Thanks, Shane. Shane readjusting the machine. Two-minute drill. See, this is really exciting because I don't exactly know where all the points are coming from yet. Me and Johnny talked about it. It seemed like the best thing is to light the scoop, get your mystery, start Herman, and then hit Kitty twice to get your 3X. That makes sense. Okay, good point. All right. So I'm going to count you down from five here. I'm going to count down from five once I start the timer. When time is up, hands up. Okay? No, I can't. I really can't. Johnny being a pain in the, you know, like always. Ready? Ready? Ready? Where's my timer? Where'd my timer go? This is the first time doing two-minute drills, so you might have a little issue. It didn't start for some reason. Okay, we'll start it this way. 4 3 2 1 Go Alright And there's no ball save on this So losing it off of a super skill shot Tony wants to win by a bonus So super skill shots? I don't know anything about them really Other than the Holding the left flipper And I think it's the ramp right? Well Brian unfortunately just lost his Herman All right, so Johnny did exactly what I wanted him to do. So he has Kitty lit. Now he just needs to start Herman, and then he'll be set for scoring some big points. Brian trying to hit Herman to get it back up to... So Johnny's got the magnetized ball on Herman, and he just wants to hit that as quickly as possible, and then hit Kitty a few times, and then just start playing the moat. Which I believe this mode is mainly ramps It's all four shots, isn't it? It's the mountain and the orbits And that lights super jackpot Right But are you really going to collect the super jackpot? Skillfully? Well, not skillfully Alright, so Johnny has 2x right now It's really hard to see the scores Yeah, the scores are really low. Sounds like it just got louder. Johnny just got a super jackpot from the mystery. For one million points. Well, it's a million is a million. That dragular shot's going to be worth something. Brian is being smart and also doing his zap jackpots, though, whereas Johnny is not. Oh, hitting the button. Hitting the button, exactly. That just raises the jackpot, right? No, it's a secondary jackpot. Whenever you hit a jackpot shot, you also get the zap jackpot value. Ah. 10, 9, 8, 7, Johnny's in the lead right now with 6 billion. I don't think Bonus is going to play very much into this. All right, I think Johnny has it. I think so too. Oh, it's pretty close. Yeah. Yeah. Oh! Whoa! Oh, baby. Yep, Johnny took it. Yep, Johnny's got it. Oh! All right. Exciting match. Who is next? Our next match. Raymond Derrick? Raymond Ashby versus Derek Price. Derek just qualified. He was in the tiebreaker. Raymond looking over the list, deciding. I think they've had this in San Diego for a while, so I think they're pretty familiar with it. Yeah, I think they're both very familiar with the game at this point. Raymond's always familiar with the game. Yes. Okay, 3X multiplier Ready? Okay 3, 2, 1, go So, in Herman multiball The mystery is already lit for You can actually collect the mystery during the multiball, right? No, I don't believe so That why I saying you want to shoot the scoop first Gotcha Although if you missed it it not devastating because Lily is just four shots Yeah four hits on the target Raymond collected the super jackpot twice. I'm glad we took it out. He literally did it in two shots. I don't know of any bugs currently in this game right now. I haven't had too much experience with actually playing it. There are plenty of bugs in the game. But hopefully they don't, you know, show around here with this format because we're not playing very long games. All right, Derek has started 2x, and he has the 3x ready to go. If he can just shoot the kitty targets. One more time. Ray has to hit it twice. He's got it stacked up though I think Derek just got it Derek takes it Alright 1-0 It's not I mean it's a doable shot But it's not the easiest shot in the world Especially with the nerves in play Yeah it also doesn't like to bounce up there at all When it does juggle Start spot Just four alternating ramps? Four alternating ramps You did it perfectly Good run there If you shoot one ramp and you drain You lose your progress Did you go for the super skill And hit your first ramp? I live catch I did the super to get it on that left flip All right, ready? All right. Three, two, one, go. I mean, I've learned, we play this format for every launch party just about. And I've learned you really just need to, I mean, you're trying to rush. But you need to slow down and take your time, trap up, just like you would otherwise. Don't let your nerves get in the way. Yeah, I mean, that's actually a good idea, because I was actually, like, on the fly trying to backhand the scoop and stuff, and I was like, oh, man, if I had just held the ball, I would have been fine. I mean, you might get a lucky win that way. Yeah. But overall, you know, in the long term, you're going to have issues. Well, it helped me out with Grandpa, but, I mean, that's actually not a bad time. His hitting targets are still there. Thanks, L-O-T-R, Brett. My button on my stream deck didn't work for the timer, so it didn't go away like I thought. Raymond's having trouble with the right ramp. Yeah, Derek's having trouble just in general getting control, it seems. He's got one left ramp. No progress, though. Yeah, Ray tilted out of multiball, which is a good choice. Derek just got one letter in spot right now. So he just needs another set of alternating ramps and he will have it. Have the match. That tilt is quite long. Wow. Derek needs one left ramp. Tried to hit it on the fly and missed. This could be it right there. That's it. All right. Match is over. Nice job for Derek. Derek wins 2-0. This is a single elimination once again. It's so rough. All right. Our next match is Dennis versus Bob. Not Jero. I said Bob. Yeah, you can restart the game midway through. You can if you want to, yeah. Yeah, you hold it down, yeah. Yep, that'll reset and start a new game. So you get choice of game or goal. All right, our first goal is going to be start enlarging ray. So which game do you want, Bob? Okay. If you drain, do the targets still stay lit? I believe so. This one's not as punishing as the other. Well, because Jockton said that he felt like he had to start it twice. So we have the four targets here, here, here, here. Just turn it up and hold on a second. Do a quick restart. So do those four targets and then shoot the scoop I think Pargas carries over I'm not 100% sure I just have a feeling because of the first game that we had It took forever to work On this one? Alright, you both ready? Alright, 3, 2, 1 Go Bob with a little trigger happy there The other guy's named Dennis, right? Yes All right, so Bob has one target ready. So you need all four to light the scoop. And then cancel out your mystery boat as quickly as possible. Now Bob's in Herman, and correctly, he drains right there. Okay. Because you can't get any progress during that. Yeah, in any of the modes. Right. It seems like if you shoot one of the ramps... He's still not in the... He still can't hit the targets. I don't know what's going on with Dennis's... He's in a mode of some sort. That's the skill shot right now. Okay. So he actually has it lit right now. Yes, he does. All right. That's it. All right, Dennis got it. You got it. Okay, Bob. Did you learn some stuff, Josh? All right. All right, we have a 3X multiplier. Bob chose to stay on the machine he's on instead of choosing the goal. Oh, wow. And Dennis chose to start 3X multiplier. So, again, this is the kitty target. When it's lit, you light it by starting any of the characters along. and the other option is a mystery because we're in tournament mode. Mystery is always kidding. Ready? Ready? All right. Three, two, one, go. All right. Looks like Dennis is going for Herman first and kind of maybe doing the Lily strategy. All right. Bob lights his Kitty Mystery Award. Bob starts 2X accidentally, I believe. Okay. So Dennis has Kitty lit. Bob gets a Dragula, unfortunately. That's going to kill some time here. So Dennis either wants to drain or hit Lily. I hope he's going for Lily. Not drain, because you can get your multiplier right now during the multiball. You don't have to drain. Yeah, but he needs two. That's fine. He can start Lily. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I was thinking. So the other has those choices. Bob just needs to hit Herman here to get his hurry-up going. And he's playing on the fly. He needs to slow down, take his time. All right. Ball is captured on the magnet now. So what Dennis really wants to do right now is, that's still fun, he wants to hit the mystery to light kitty again. All right. Bob has the kitty lit for his second one right now, if he can get it. This 2X could be close to timing out also. Because it lasts for a minute, and it's been pretty close to that, I think. He's going for it, but he can't quite find the kitty shot. Oh, Dennis just got it. All right. Dennis is there. Yeah, he got Lily as well. All right. Dennis wins 2-0. All right, our next match, Gerald versus Mike. Yeah, during these heads-up tournaments where it's single elimination, you're like, man, I wanted to keep playing. I made it to the top 60. It was so short. So we have Mike, Jim, and Gerald. Give this to where did Bob go? I blasted this one. Woo! Bob. Bob. Bob. Gerald, where's Mike? Oh, right there. Okay. You're high seed, so you can choice the game. Enlarging rain. Okay. So which game do you want, Mike? This one? Okay. Enlarging rain. All right. The goal is enlarging rain. We have Gerald on the right. Mike on the left. Mike Jim plays on the fly quite a bit, so I think he's going to be pretty good at hitting those targets, don't he? Hold it down. Hold down. No, hold down the start button. Hold down the start button. I think so, yeah. Ready? Ready? Enlarging ray. Three, two, one, go. All right. So this is the four targets followed by the scoop. Pretty simple goal. Yeah. It was the one I completed real quick. All right. Jill has two. Mike has one and drains out. Does it carry over? Yes, it does. Mike down to two remaining. All right. So Gerald only has one left. The left. He tries to backhand it. Nice little pass over. Mike still trying to find the left ramp targets. Play normally and you can't ever miss him Right now You can't hit him He's had so many almosts Alright Mike's down to one So Gerald's out as well They're both on the same one Okay Gerald does Got it Oh no he started Herman That's not good So it looks like you have to hit the targets twice If you have to hit it one more time after all four, they all flash. Gotcha. And Mike gets his last one, gets it lit. Mike just needs to get in the scoop now, and he'll have it. See, now it's lit. Oh, boy. Race to the scoop. And then whoever, if Mike still has his mystery lit, he does. That's fine. We're getting to it. All right. Mike's got it. Oh! Like one. So, even with the mystery lit, we know it's going to count. So, if he's in the scoop, still the mystery is playing out, we're going to give it to that player. Cool. Okay. All right. Game or goal? Raven. What game would you like? This one? Okay. So they're staying on the same game. The goal is start Raven multiball. Ready? Ready? Three, two, one, go. So you were saying that you picked the best strategies, Herman, Lily, and then Mystery? Herman, Lily, and Kitty. Kitty lights the light. Well, yeah, but you do the Mystery to get the... No, you don't need it. because you'll get the kitty light with Herman or Lily. But you need three kitty lights. You need three raven lights. So one raven light for Herman, one raven light for Lily, and then the third one for kitty. Oh, okay. So, yeah, work on it right now. Hit. Get your Lily started. So, actually, Mike's in a really good spot. He's got both of them already going. He's also hit his kitty already. He just needs to let this drain out. And then Raven will be lit, shoot the ramp three times, and he's done. So any time hitting a lit kitty shot will light a ramp, kind of like lock, because it's a multiball Raven. Yeah. All right, so Mike has one Raven shot. Okay, so Gerald needs to drain out. Yes. because he'll have all three lit already. Yeah, he has all three lit, and then now he needs three left ramps. Mike needs two ramps. This is close. Alright, Mike had a nice trap there to get that second ramp. He only needs one more to start Raven. Mike drains. Yeah, there's no ball save on this. So, draining is definitely pretty bad. Mike gets it. Nice. Nice job, Mike. That's 2-0, Mike. Man, I wish I knew all the Raven rules when I was playing. All right. With Sean and Grant now. Two-minute drill. Sean chooses two-minute drill. Which game do you want, Grant? One with the credit is the one Grant wants. Why not? They basically play the same. All right. So we have two-minute drill here. Just do a quick restart. Hold down start button. What do you guys count? I'll count down from five. What do you mean, what do we count? During the two minutes. Just your score, top score. No, no. So. Not during it. Ten seconds to go is when we'll start counting down. Yeah. And I'll give you five. I'll give you a five-second countdown to start, okay? All right? Are you both ready? Okay. Five, four, three, two, one, go. All right, away we go. All right, let's see what Grant's strategy is. Grant's on the right, Sean on the left. Grant's having a hard time finding any shots. Sean's got the ball trapped on Herman, and he gets it off, and away he goes on his Herman multiball. Like you've been saying, hit Kitty and get Jackpots. Yep. All right, so Grant just started his multiball. If he hits it one more time, he'll get three. All right, Sean drained out of his multiball. So after clearing all four shots, does it relight the shots, or do you have to hit Herman? I honestly don't know. I know the four lights are super jackpot. It looked like any time you hit Herman, it relights all four shots. Yes. Just at the different level? Yeah. Oh, ouch. Oh, they're both out of multiball already? Yeah. Sean's at 3.6 million. And Grant is at 3.2 So after losing your multiball The next best strategy would be Honestly I don't know Because I don't think spots work very much Okay You just want your multipliers running all the time right? Yeah What is the super jackpot 5x thing? That's just the dragula shot gets you 5x Not the super jackpot gets 5x Okay 10 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Hands up. Bonus could play a role, but I think Sean's going to get it. 5.9. He also has 5, but I don't think bonus is going to be big enough. Yeah. All right, Sean takes his max. All right. All right. Grant, your choice of game or start spot. All right. We have start spot. Shoot two ramps. Four ramps. Two sets of ramps. Ready? All right. Three, two, one, go. So I definitely think Super Skill Shop is the way to go, but it only took you a few seconds. All right, Grant just got his first letter. And Sean needs to drain out of his permit right now because he will get no progress. All right, Grant, just one more right ramp and he's got it. Grant got it. All right. Nice. All right, Sean. Game or goal? Game or goal? Enlarging ring. Yeah you can switch if you want It's your choice It's your choice Who chose enlarging rate So you can choose the same Yeah Alright the same on the same machines I don't think it really matters that much To me at least Yeah I don't think it matters We had two Heads up tournaments where it did matter Yeah Iron Maiden and Deadpool Was it Deadpool? Deadpool where you You beat me and you hit the SNCC target. I watched the video to find out how. I'm like, how did you get all those points? You got the super secret skill shot by hitting the SNCC target. And I was right at the skill shot. Gotcha. I was fascinated. All right. Guardians was the other one because of the jewel target, the orb. Okay. Buffalo, thanks for the host. Like the John Boats Ready 3, 2, 1 Go Alright, shoot the four targets Then it seems like Shoot them one more time and then hit the scoop Grant needs to get out of his Urban That's exactly what Sean just did I think Sean has three of the four targets ready to go So Grant just needs to drain but he had a ramp He finally figured it out Yeah, Sean just needs one more target right there. And he gets it. And now he just needs to shoot the targets one more time. So it's actually five hits. It's actually five hits, correct. That's any of those targets. And he gets it, and he needs to just shoot the scoop now, and he will be taken back. Grant has a lot of work. He's got to hit three more hits, two more targets. Oh, Sean misses the scoop. Give Grant some time to catch up. Yep, Grant just needs one more target and one more hit. tries to backhand it. Oh my gosh, Sean missed again. Okay. Alright, so it's lit, and he just needs to hit the scoop. Oh my gosh, both of them. Does it carry over? It carries over, yeah, it does. It does. Oh my gosh. These tournaments are a little bit fun, because sometimes you don't see the best play, because everyone's rushing to get there. Sean got it. Wow. I think you're right. I think it's important to cradle up. Take your time. Take your time. Even if you think you're behind, slow down. All right. Sean moves on. All right. We get into the quarterfinals now. First match with Jockton versus David. And welcoming back on the mic, Bob Matthews. Howdy, Bob. Yeah, I crapped out. Oh, well. It's tough. This format is difficult. I know. He got a double hit on it. I had like three shots at it, and I hit both posts twice. Really, I'd like to move to either double elimination or three strikes with this because you're out so quickly. But it gets late. I mean, it's not meant to be that long a tournament. Yeah, yeah. Wait. David. Oh, David's right here. Jockton, you're top seed. So you get choice. Enlarging ray will be the goal. Which machine? Left machine. David will be on the right here. Droughton on the left. So we should throw in another, like, 60s TV show here, Land of the Giants, and use the enlarging ray so they get up to the same size as the Giants. Sorry, Bob. I know. Most people have never seen that show. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Most people have never seen that show. It was that same, like, lost in space. Ready? Ready? Whatever. Three, two, one, go. Okay. All right. Same goal as the last game. Yeah, my strategy before didn't work. I'm thinking you almost want to shoot Lily and Dracula targets to have it bouncing sideways. On this? Rather than risk. Instead of going in the scoop over and over like that? Can you get it from scoop hits? No, you can't. That's why I say, you know, try trying to shoot the stand-ups without making the ramp. David got it. Yep. All right. David's got it. Yeah, I didn't see him get all four stand-ups there. But, yeah, you really, I think you want side-to-side motion. All right. Jockton has choice. That machine. Okay, David, which goal? Raven, start Raven Alright, we are switching machines here David on the left, Johnton on the right Yeah, I was just thinking If the ball is going side to side, you're more likely to hit the stand-ups Without accidentally getting something else True, true Ready? Ready? 3 2 1 Go Alright So Raven what we determined is probably the best strategy for Raven is to start Herman get Lily during Herman hit one kitty target then drain out of multiball and shoot your three ramps. Ideally draining out of multiball without losing all of it. Well, you don't want to... I mean, you still want to do stuff during multiball. That's what's good about this strategy. You can still do Lily. You do Lily, but then, yeah. I actually like this goal. There's more depth to it, but it's still achievable. Yeah, I think we'll need to come up with some different goals that aren't four or five-shot ones for the long term on this. Well, I'm curious. What will the Stern... Let's turn. Yeah, what... The IFBA heads up where Josh and Zach are going to... Yeah, are they using monsters? I'm sure this will be in there. I would assume so. Probably watching. Silently. All right, so David has two... Yeah, Jockton's got two lights. So now he's got all three lit. No, he doesn't have any. Well, he's in multiball. He's in multiball, yeah. So David just has to shoot that left ground three times Jockton drains out He's got two That's what I thought he had There's one So Jockton just needs that cue One of Jockton's There's two Nice nudging Nice nudging to get it over there That was some excellent nudging Because basically it doesn't feed out of there fast enough to transfer Unless you help it All right. That is it, right? Oh, I get to play the plague. Yeah, you get to play the muddica plague. Me and Johnny. Thankfully, I'm higher seed. Kyle, you're going to be a seedy character here, huh? Okay, yeah, we'll bring in Mr. Pollock here. Carl? Okay. All right, so we got Carl and Johnny up. This should be fun. Carl has choice. There's a little trash talking going on here. There always is between Carl and Johnny. Of course. I liked watching Carl scream about pirates. He was like, man, my favorite thing ever was just stealing balls from Johnny. Yeah. The quickest Raven strategy, in my opinion right now, that me and Carl talked about was hitting Herman to Lily to Kitty. Right, Herman, Lily, Kitty. Drain out. Well, drain two balls out and then ramp three times. Actually, no, I guess you have to drain out to stop Herman. Yeah. You got to drain. No, yeah, you're right, you're right. You can just drain the two. You drain two. Basically, you have to drain to stop the multiball. Yeah. So if you drain out two and it can cradle up on the right flipper, then you're basically all set up. Oh, and you count down. Three, two, one, go. So basically you want to get the ramp soil set up, then get it all cradled on the right flipper, and then let the other two drain. Yeah. So Carl just started his Herman. So Carl's got Herman there. Actually, Johnny's got Herman. Johnny's got a two. Lit. Okay, Johnny's got his Herman. Carl almost had a good save. Carl, yeah. But it still goes in a multiple. It's still a two-ball multiple, so it's not a bad deal. But it's a little harder to get Lily with two balls running. So do you actually, is it the targets or do you have to hit Lily four times? You've got to hit Lily four times. Okay. Yeah. But basically I think he's already done that because it's blinking. And when it's blinking, it's suggested it's got it. So now if he can just cradle up because he needs to cradle up. Actually, Johnny still needs his kitty Yeah, that's what Carl needs too Johnny still needs his kitty there So Carl actually drained out of it Which is still fine because kitty carries over So they both have their three lights But Carl has the ball on the flipper So he's got a time advantage here And that's where he didn't quite do what David did Now he needs to nudge it and transfer it over Johnny's too far behind him Carl's got it You've got to do that little nudge to get the X for the timing. Yeah. Because, yeah, just holding it up, it doesn't transfer far enough up to shoot it. We were noticing that earlier. Johnny, what do you want? Johnny, as the loser, has choice now. All right. Bob, can I hire you as a coach? Bob Matthews, can I hire you as a coach? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I work cheap. I'll pitch you. I'll pitch you. I think I'm being hired as a coach. Okay, meanwhile, they're going to do the two-minute drill. So let's see if they choose the same strategy here. I'm guessing we're going to see some Herman bringing in Lily. Let's see if they do Herman bringing in Lily. Oh, hang on. You need to click out the box. hang on click out the box so they can see the screen there yeah okay and it's a fastball so the best strategy for this seems to be uh get herman and uh hit your multipliers yeah herman lily and then get your 3x uh does it go up to 5x it goes up to 6x okay so you actually could even do like light kitty uh in the mystery and then start herman well i think you have you have to have other characters to relight Kitty. But the mystery automatically gives you a Kitty light. Dead bounce. And Johnny, he missed Sherman there. There we go. Okay, now he's got it. Carl's game is not registering. Is there a machine malfunction on Carl? Oh, he had two balls stuck. Oh, I had that happen to me the other day. Yeah, any game that does that, it's really frustrating because you're locked out there. So Johnny now needs to try and get Lily to light his 3X. I mean, how much are the super jackpots worth? Because maybe that's what Carl needs to do right now. I haven't been able to figure out exactly what the value is, especially if you defer and then stack them, how much of a premium you get for stacking them? Yeah. Dead Bounce, 3X? Or is it going to... I figured... Oh, okay. So Carl had a much better multiball right now. Yeah, Carl's got about a 2 million point lead. Well, 1 million now after a bonus kicks in for Johnny, but... Johnny still needs to get his kitty there. All right, we've got 15 seconds left. Yeah, I don't think Johnny's going to be able to catch him, even if he gets his kitty, because he can't get anything started fast enough. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Not enough set up. Johnny got his 2X, but he didn't have anything set up to cash in the 2X with. Do you have any idea what the next best vote is? After you drain out of your multiple? I would probably do spot. Carl took a 2-0, right? He won the first one? Yeah. Good game, Janos Kiss. Yeah, I would probably do spot after that. Carl was saying no. I think maybe the grandfather, but yeah. Well, it spots four ramps, and it's safer to shoot four ramps than four stand-ups. But the stand-ups are only worth like $250. Okay, Carl's going to rejoin us here. All right. Woo-hoo! Our next match, Derek versus Dennis. D&D. Or D&D. Now that I'm shaking. Okay. Format makes me shake so much, I swear. Yeah? I'm always, yeah, I don't get nervous during other games. For some reason, the race doesn't. All right, who was the higher seed? It was Dennis. Dennis. Game or? No, you get choice of either goal or game. Then whoever loses. Okay, we're refreshed. David hasn't played this format. Start enlarging range. Excuse me. Dennis hasn't played this format before, so they're reviewing the rules with him. Not that not having played it before seems to hurt him. You make your shots or have something good happen. So enlarging range. Enlarging range. So I want to see if they shoot the stand-ups directly or if they try and get some, you know, like, rattle. Ready? All right. Three, two, one, go. I'm thinking if you, like, kind of carom it, you might be able to get, you know, all four of them with two or three shots on caroms. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Or the other thing is, you know. Although, Derek's already there. I mean, he just needs a scoop now, and he got it. Yeah. How do you get him so fast? Mr. Shrugged. There it is. Derek's got it. Wow, that was fast. Yeah, it's basically... Yep, all right. All right. 3X multiplier. Okay. So again, this is the kitty target right here 3x, 3x, 3x From 2x and then the 3x You light it, there's one freebie in the scoop Otherwise you start one of the characters To light the kitty You can do this during multiple Ideally you can You can actually do this In the, what, 5 shots? Yep Scoop, Herman, Herman Ready? Ready, okay 3, 2, 1 Go Yeah, it's get the scoop In my opinion, get the scoop for the freebie Yeah, take the scoop for the freebie And then, you know, like four Herman shots Of course, he's only Derek's only two shots away from Lily So that could be start Herman Or it could be Could actually be Lily And the mystery Alright, Derek starts Herman Well, he doesn't actually start him He has to knock the ball off Yeah All right. Derek taking his time. And he knocks the ball off. That will light one kitty. He's going to probably give a point for Lily, is my guess, to light the second one. He starts his 2X. Yeah, Dennis is having trouble getting Herman here. There we go. So Derek, unfortunately, hit a 2X. But he's in a deep time hole. Well, anything's possible here. because Derek's Miller close to starting. He's two really targets away from lighting another kitty. That's probably the closest one. Yeah. One target. Dennis needs to get, you know, Lily here. All right, so now Derek also has the scoop available for Grandpa. That will, okay, he's got the kitty lid. He just needs to shoot the kitty target. All right. So Dennis has his first one lit, but, yeah, he's. Oh, so close. Yeah, Dennis still needs to get his first one there, and that's going to slow him down when he goes into the lane. Derek having trouble. Good news for Derek is now if he drains, he still has the two kitties available. Yeah. Dennis is just not able to hit that kitty target. Oh, gosh. So close. I was having trouble with that before. Yeah. It's narrow and if you hit the post. All right, Derek got it. Derek got it. All right, that's 2-0, right? Yeah, that's 2-0. I started to get a little fuzzy after a while. Yeah, you want 6-X in Monster Madness. All right. Next pair Mike and Sean Two minute drill to start Mike and Sean Alright So Mike gets choice of game Actually we should probably rephrase that Choice of machine Choice of machine Alright so Mike chooses that Mike on the left Sean on the right Two minute drill Choice of unit I need to come up with a different language for all this. Okay, Sean is ready. Ready? Sean is ready. All right. Mike is ready. Five, four, three, two, one, go. Okay. Mike immediately gets his Herman hurry up ball for the multiball Sean still needs another hit there I thought I was doomed when my ball got stuck on the magnet Mike getting a good start here he needs to shoot some jackpot shots So yeah, you shoot the ramp for Sean there, puts him in a deep hole time wise. By the time he actually starts something now. Sean in a really big hole. And is he already on ball? He's already on ball five. Really? That's going to hurt. Yeah. Yeah, he could end it. Sean could end this before five minutes. Yeah, he's done. Mike is... Are you allowed to coin up and keep going? You are allowed to coin up and keep going, but the question is, can he do something in 50 seconds? I don't know. Yeah. And Mike's out of multiball, so it's possible, I guess. Very rough, though. Yeah, it's hard to get points that fast. Wow, five balls in a minute. That's pretty incredible. But with no ball save. and now it's going to cost him several seconds because it's on the magnet it takes like 10 seconds yeah meanwhile Mike's at 5.2 million shooting for his kitty target and it drains out before he can knock the ball off he's in two ball multiball but it's just not going to be enough 10, 9, 8, 7 6, 5 4, 3 2, 1 So game one goes to Mike. Game one goes to Mike. Similar score. The two-minute drill winning score seems to be like in the seven-ish range. Well, there's not much you can do in two minutes on this game. Yeah, yeah. Enlarging range. Mike, this machine or? All right, same machine. Okay. Enlarging range. Let's play Grandpa. Quick challenge. And a trivia note for all you folks. Al Lewis, who played Grandpa, actually ran for governor in the state of New York a couple decades ago. Ready? Ready. All right. Three, two, one, go. And they're off. And unfortunately, Sean hits two ramps when he really needs to hit the stand-ups. Although it looks like he must have grazed one of the stand-ups on the right ramp. It's showing one light down. Oh, no. Mike just hit the Herman. Hurry up. Oh, no. So Sean's got the two right stand-ups. He needs the two left stand-ups now. Mike starts the multiball. Well, I guess he didn't have a choice, really. I would tilt out at this point. Okay, okay. So where's Sean? Sean's pretty close. He just needs to shoot a stand-up and shoot the scoop, right? Yep, he's got a lit on the scoop. He's got a lit. He just needs to get the ball on the flipper. Either backhand or forehand works. There it is. Sean's got game two. So one to one, going to game three. Code update. Your choice, Mike. Game or goal? Raven. Yeah, there's a wheel of fortune right behind us here in the broadcast booth. All right, Raven. And a Beatles or Beatlemania and a Batman. So if you hear some stray sounds, probably one of those three games. All right, we are switching machines. We're doing Raven. Never more, never more. I think this is my favorite challenge of the five. Never more. Never more, never drain. Never more, never drain, yeah. All right, never more, never drain. Ready, ready? Okay. All right, three, two, one. Go. All right. Sean had a good start here. Gets Herman going. Now, he doesn't have to hit that ball off. If he just wants a two ball, he can just drain this one right away if he wants to save some time. But he doesn't. And Mike is still trying to hit Herman. Okay, Mike's got his Herman lock Alright, Sean gets it off Sean knocks it off So he's going to be going for Lily now One more Lily target And then one Kitty target And then Drain out of the multiball He's got Lily, okay Now you just need the Kitty Okay, Drain's knocked the ball Mike's knocked the ball off So now he's got to try and get Lily Sean is still in multiball but he's going to drain one of these I'm sure Mike just needs the Y in Lily alright Sean needs to hit that kitty target now to get that third Raven ok Mike's got his Lily oh no sorry he's letting it drain out but he needs the Y All right. Sean's actually going for the ramp right now. Yeah, Mike's got one ramp, but he still needs to hit the kitty and get Lily to get the other two ramp lights on. All right, Sean's got two lit Raven lights. Oh, shoot. Looked like he hit the Lily, but not quite. So he can bring in Grandpa here if he wants to. He doesn't have to shoot the kitty. He can do some other thing if he's having trouble with the kitty target. Yeah, Mike still needs to get his Lily or the kitty. Missed the kitty. I mean, at this point, if I were Sean, I'm having trouble hitting the kitty target. I've got one target for Grandpa. Go for Grandpa. Yeah, and Mike still has to hit either that Y or the kitty target. It looks like he didn't. Mike got the kitty. Yeah, Mike recoiled it into the kitty target. Basically, it was like a double post rebound into the kitty. Now, can you do another Herman hurry-up? He probably can, right? He could, yeah. But right now, he just... Okay, it looks like Lily withdrew a letter. Yes, it's on time. So it's on anti-time here. Sean having trouble. Can I get that kitty target? Nice nudge to keep it out of the out lane. Yeah. Mike, unfortunately, has Herman relit. Which is fine. It's not an actual multiball. All right. Sean just got his kitty. Okay. All right. Sean wins the match. So Nevada has made it to the semifinals. All right. Sean representing Nevada here. And I'm out for here again. Me versus David Oliver. We're going to play Raven first. Okay. And Carl has choice. Okay, Mr. Pollack's going to sit in again. Carl likes Raven, so he's chosen Raven. All right, so we got Carl and David Oliver. And since Mr. Poe, Mr. Raven was from Maryland, a shout out to all the FSPA folks, although it's 11.20 their time, I doubt any of them are watching. But if they are watching, hello. Okay. Three, two, one, zero. Okay. So we're off for Raven again here. Both these guys know how to do it really well. Carl just first started his Herman yeah David's got his kitty lit okay so David's got one with Kitty gonna try and get Herman there Carl needs to just spell Lily time advantage Carl So I believe Carl just needs to hit Kitty and then he wants to drain out. Then he wants to drain out, yeah. That Kitty shot looks easy, but it's not that easy. Yeah, David's got a bit of work to do on Herman here yet. All right, Carl just hit his Kitty. So all three Raven locks should be lit. Yep. David letting it drain out. He still needs to get his kitty. Alright girl just has two more ramps. He's got that little power. David's only got two lit, but he hasn't made any yet. And now he has to wait for the scoop. Kicker. Carl just got it, yep. Let's see what David chooses for game two here. They're going for 3X? Yeah. They're going for 3X. Okay. Time to go for... All right. Three, two, one, go. Time to go for Scoop Kitty Herman. Yeah, or you can do Herman to Lily. Yeah, yeah. Scoop Kitty Herman's probably faster, but... They're almost the same, a little bit. Either way, when you get it on the flipper there, you want to... Okay, David... Carl's actually going for Lily instead of Herman. Yeah? Yeah. Okay, David's got his ball on the magnet. The issue about not going for Herman is if you drain after hitting Kitty once. I know. So he actually just started Herman. And David misses his Herman shot. Oh, okay. Oh, he already hit it. Okay. Oh, that's right. He had it locked, so. All right, Charles got it. So he's in two-ball multiball instead of three. All right, so final shot, right? David got it. David got it. He's got it. Yep. One to one. and now Carl gets to choose I'm guessing he's going to go. Is he going to go two-minute drill? He's going spot. He's going spot. He thinks he can make the four ramp shots faster. Okay. He crushed it last time. Yeah. It's really all in can you get that first one, because if you get that first one, you kind of get a little rhythm to it. Yeah. And, you know, you can cross-ramp pretty quick if you get the feel. But if you break that first one, then it takes, you know, the ball's rattling around and you've got to get back under control. Three, two, one, zero. All right, let's see. Carl live caught his. And David's 0 for 2 on ramp. Carl actually drained even after a last round. 0 for 3 on ramp. 044 and wrong hit. OK. Ah. David's trying to get the ball to the right. Heard nice little bounce pass there and it be. Oh no, Carl just tried to backhand the right. Really have you done that? I've done it, but it's not reliable on this one. David did a nice little bounce pass, but he's having trouble hitting the left ramp right now. There we go. Can he do cross ramps here? Oh, not quite. Carl has one letter. One more right ramp will do it. Yep. David's still having trouble with his ramp shots. All right, so both of them have to restart, right? No, he was in the left. Yeah. So it's drain out time for David. Carl Carl one more right ramp will do it. And I have such problems with that right room and David tried to one time it. No luck there. It's a good strategy, just didn't do it. Right, one time again, dead bounce. Wow, Carl struggling. Yeah, David struggling too. There you go, yeah. Nice job, Carl. Carl is in the final. And we have Derek and Sean. Yeah, but I need to put you over. So Derek and Sean are up. Derek and Sean are up. Sean having choice. All right, Sean, you up? Yep. How about the one where you hit the target? The ray? Yep. How about the one where you hit the target? Yeah. Okay. A large and gray. I actually like this one. It's kind of fun. makes you play pinball differently than you normally should. The problem is you can get a lucky bounce and take out two of them with one straight shot. That's what happened to me because I thought I only hit it four times and you actually need to hit it five times. All the lights will flash at the end and you have to hit one more. Yeah. Are you guys ready? I am almost ready. I'm quiet. Are you ready? We've got a question. It's a two-to-five versus a three. Here we go. Okay. Three, two, one, go. All right, so I'm watching Derek. Okay, Sean hits the ramp and Herman, and that's not what he wants. So he drains it out. All right, Derek has one, two. Yeah, Sean hit the wrong one on the... Yeah, okay. Sean, there... Yeah. Okay. Sean's having trouble here. He's hitting everything else. Okay. Derek just needs a scoop. Yeah, Sean's only got one... He should cancel the super jackpot, doesn't he? Yes. Yeah. Sean's only got two of the four targets. The scoop, I've seen people struggle. I struggle to hit it. On one of my strategies. John still has to get the two left standups left at left of each ramp. Eric just got another super jackpot. I'm surprised he let that one drain out. I would have gone ahead and tried to shoot that standup again. Did he backhand it? Yeah. No, he missed. He got the scoop. He was trying to backhand that left standup on the right ramp. Eric is not in time to beat Eric. You got it. Go, Cali, go. Okay. Two minute drill. So we will get to see more than five shots. So I think I figured out the best strategy for this. You go into scoop, start Herman, then Lily, get your 6X. Get your 6X, yeah. Yeah, but the countdown is five for this one, okay? The start, the start though. Are you guys ready? Five, four, three, two, one, go. Sorry, the count is actually six. It was a little bit slower. Derek loses his first ball without a flip. Yes, Sean doesn't get much either. Sean, who's did the little weird glitch thing where you try to get the orbit? But I don't know what the point of doing that. Yeah. Sean's trying to get Herman there. He's got the ball locked on Herman. Okay, they both have it locked on Herman. And they're all saying, come on, plunger, hurry up and throw the ball out. Hurry up and throw the ball out, plunger. Okay, Derek just got into his three. Derek got into his multiball. Sean got into his two-ball multiball. So yeah, get your multiplier and get Lily. And then every time you hit Herman, it relights all four shots. Yeah. So Derek's at 2X, which is super helpful right now. Yeah, and Sean does not have his multiplier yet, nor Lily. Derek has his kitty lit again, so he can get 3X. He can get 3, yeah. Sean's still looking for 2X. He's getting some Herman jackpots, but he needs a multiplier. Derek just rained out of his multiball. They're both out. So let's see what they choose to do in their next mode. Derek actually has Raven multiball lit if he hits the ramp three times. I would definitely take it if I could. There's only 15 seconds left, though, so it doesn't really matter much anymore. Yeah, looks like Derek's going to get it. 10, 9, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Heads up. Okay. Looks like Derek's going to take this one. Yeah, basically it's been, you know, like, 7 million is a good score to win in the two-minute drill from what we've seen here. He's got more because he has a high bonus multiplier. Yeah, that's a really nice bonus. I got a point. Yeah. Was it one wonder? Derek one, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's that's two. Oh, Derek. OK. So then we're going to we should do the bronze match first between David and Sean. OK. Yeah, we're going to do the bronze. Yeah, I know. Bronze match, David and Sean. David needs to get more quarters. Last 50 cents he'll spend. Well, he better get more than a dollar's worth. Oh, actually, you're right. It's $1.50. And then, yeah. Well, no, it's 50 cents. The thing is, you know, two out of three, plus if you want to coin up again, depending on what challenge you're playing. Yeah, and with no ball save, that's not a big possibility. So you want to keep the option to drain and restart right away, depending on what's going on. So our brackets aren't updated yet, but it will be Sean Stewart versus David Oliver. David Oliver has, or no, Sean actually has the seed. Right? Yeah, Sean has seed, 6 over 8. Hey, Sean. Sean. Sean. Sean. What is the challenge here? So you have a top suit? Okay. Okay. Okay, and... Are you doing Grandpa again? How do I get rid of the time? Oh. I don't know how to get rid of time. Stop. Maybe you'd stop. Yeah. Okay. You guys ready? Okay. Three, two, one, go. Okay. The Grandpa Challenge. So, yeah, just one shot on Herman Spurgeon. So you guys got to drain out right away. Yeah. Well, Sean's got two stand-ups. He's got three. I think that's the fourth one. Are you watching that table? Oh, I'm watching David. Sorry. Yeah, he's got all four standups. He just needs the ball to kick out. Come to the flipper. Backhand the scoop. Oh, rimmed out. Sean's on the backhand again. There we go. So David took that one. There's a little delay on it displaying that you finished it lighting the scoop there team. Multiplier 3X? No, Raven multiple. Raven multiple. They're doing Raven. Okay. You guys good? All right. 3, 2, 1, go. Go. Okay. Okay. All right. Sean didn't seem like he knew exactly the best strategy for this. David most certainly does. Okay. Well, David's got his light kitty, so that'll give him one. And if he can drop catch there, okay, he's got his Herman lock. So now just hit kitty, start Herman, get Lily, and then you've got your three lights. Yep. So actually hitting the mystery scoop is not really beneficial because kitty will always be lit. As long as you start your multiball. And he starts his... Oh! I thought he hit the multiball. It didn't start. It looked like David hit the multiball. Okay. It starts now just because it timed out to two, but it looked like he got a clean hit and it didn't give it to him. Sean is in three. I think he... Yeah, he just hit his kitty, so he just needs to hit Lily. Yeah. Okay, so now he needs to drain out. David got his kitty. But he needs his Lily yet to get the third light. Okay, now he's got his third light because he's got Lily. Sean has a ball stuck somewhere because he's still in multiball. He needs to drain this. But I don't know where his ball stuck. Oh, there it is. It's right in the pops. Okay. David's got his three ramps lit, but Sean's ball stuck. Can I tell him where his ball is? Yeah. All right, so he just got out. This is going to be rough. All right, Sean just got one. Does the pass over, but wasn't successful. Well, David just got it. Yeah, the stuck ball cost Sean that game and the match. Unfortunate. Hazard of the format Yeah he definitely would have been able to Yeah Have more chances at it than David would have Yeah Alright so next up So David Oliver just took third Now the finals is Best three out of five Yep They'll still pick They'll still pick So we'll see which one they save for last if it comes to that. So this is Carl versus Derek, right? Yeah. And Carl has choice. We need to get more quarters again. Quarters. What do you think of that heads-up format? I'm not a big fan of it. Yeah. It's fun when you're still in it, but when you lose, you're just like, Oh, man, like I didn't really get to do what I wanted to do. Yeah. I think it's better for spectators, though. It's a little bit more fun to watch people go head-to-head. Yeah, although I don't like challenges that are over too quickly. Yeah. I think it would be better if it was a little longer. Yeah. Which challenge is, like, super... The start race is pretty easy, and the spot's pretty easy as well, Although most people have been bricking the ramps quite a bit. Yeah. Just the idea that something can be over in four or five shots, though. Yeah. I mean, that's why we had to get rid of the super jackpot. Yeah, yeah. Because as soon as you hit the mystery, it would have lit the super jackpot. Yeah. all right derek is back we're about to get this started uh so carl is the high c yeah what are we doing we're doing raven okay yep okay and we are all coined up are you loaded are you loaded What? Okay. They are not quite shirt clones. Not quite. Derek has buttons. You ready, Doug? Okay. Okay. Three, two, one, go. Go. Okay. And Carl tries short plunging, whereas Derek does the full plunge. and it doesn't really work out well for either of them. I guess that's a, well, I mean, Carl has live caught it several times with that super skill, so that's interesting. Yeah. Okay. All right, Derek just got his Herman. Carl gets his scoop to light Kitty. That scoop is a long time. You know, a lot of stuff on this is long time, but I think that's part of the whole idea of making this a more casual, player-friendly game is to have more display, explanation of what's going on. That's good for the casual player. The thing is, it's a drawback for this format because time is important here. And so all of the delay while it's telling you what's going on, which in most cases you don't really need to know because you already know what's going on, it just kind of bogs down your attempt to win. Well, I was shocked about how long the tilt screen was. I mean, it is really long. Yeah, and then that, you know, the jackpot scoop over there takes forever, too. Yep. So Derek's all set up on three of his... Yeah, Carl was trying to get Kitty there, and he just missed it. Carl, we've got some work to do. I guess he's going for Lily next. Well, he still has to get his Herman here. Carl drains again. So Derek got into a mode I'm not sure what mode he's in but he needs to drain out Yeah Carl's got one lit But he needs to get his kitty And get Herman going here If I was Derek right now he's only a ball two I would definitely just drain this ball Yeah Yeah Carl's got two ramps lit He needs to get the kitty there Yeah I think Derek's definitely making a mistake He's letting Carl catch up right now Yeah Yeah, yeah. There we go. He finally figured it out. Carl got lucky there. Wait, wait, wait. Derek is putting it in. Carl got lucky there because it came out of the bumpers and went post-post-kitty to light his third ramp. So that was a really good break off the bumpers for Carl there. So now he's got his ramp all set up. Derek just restarted. Yeah, now Carl needs to do the bump pass here. Ah, he didn't do the bump pass. He passed, but he didn't bump. That's what we saw David Oliver doing, getting the bump. to get it over there far enough to make the shot. Okay. So apparently these guys are saying that it was a bug. That's why Derek restarted. Okay. Carl post pass. Nope. Late on the ramp. Late on the ramp again. Nice little tip pass. Okay. Now can Carl bump it? Can Carl bump it? They came out fast enough, but he didn't quite get the shot. I think he's going to try and post pass again. Oh, he didn't cradle up. Wow, actually, Derek added two players as well. Okay, Carl should get it here. There it is. Scrounging away. But yeah, that was a nice little accidental third light for Carl out of the bumpers there. What if you drained again? I would have looked. But I heard it. Yeah, that's true. You got the bumper bumper kitty. You got the bumper bumper kitty to light the third light. Yeah, yeah. That was a bug kind of screwed Derek over. We don't know if he should have just drained it, but he decided to restart instead. Yeah. Okay. We're doing a start spot. Spotting up. Yeah, the guy in gray and black has won each game here. Are you guys ready? Spot. Spot. Ramp, ramp, ramp, ramp. Three, two, one, go. Yeah. Carl missed his cradle there. Derek got his brick the ramp. And he bricks the right ramp. And he makes the right ramp. Now can he cross ramp here? Just pretend you're playing Attack from Mars and you're trying to start Annihilation in a hurry, right? Yeah. Okay, left ramp. Go right ramp. Oh, no. Tip pass, okay. So Derek just started Herman. That's not good. Carl's got two ramps, and he hasn't got anything else blocking him at this point. So he's got a letter then. So he just needs one more. So he needs the left ramp. There it is. 2-1-0. Yeah, the key is getting the one-timing off the return lane there. Once you get the timing on the return one-time. Combos. Okay. All right, so we're doing 3X. 3X-y. 3X. Are you ready? 3X, 3X, 3X, 3X. Are you guys ready? TX, 3X. Yeah. All right, 3, 2, 1, go. Okay. I kind of like the 3X one. I think it's one of the better heads up. We'll see if we even have to play. Carl getting Herman lock right away. All right. Eric is struggling on the Herman. Carl trying to get the ball to the right flipper. There he goes. Now he's going to try and get Lily. Just try and get the ball to go side. Get some side-to-side action off the slingshot. It's a good way to get really. We're still as his ball save running, so he's he's got his kitty light for. 2X there if he can take it. Oh fumbles out of multiball. But he did finish both Herman and Lily, so if you can transpose best, so he tried to backhand it. Oh wow, what a slide save that Yeah, Carl's trying to backhand Kitty there. I don't know how easy it is to do that. It's definitely doable, but yeah, the angle's really rough on us. Okay, he got his first Kitty hit. Yeah, sometimes that right post is in the way a lot when you try and backhand hit. All right, well, Derek just finally started his multiball. Yeah, Carl's hit that right post a couple of times. There it is. All right, so Carl D'Python Anghelo wins the Munsters tournament. Do you guys want to finish it out? TX, TX, TX, TX. Okay. Congratulations to Carl. Derek did well getting second. And that's our host, Shane, you see, dealing with the game here. He's probably taking it off in competition mode. Yeah. It was a lot of fun. How many games did you get to play? One or two? of Munsters in the finals. Did you make your first round? I made the first round, but I didn't survive the first round. I wasn't able to. I kept hitting the post. I had the kitty going for 3X and post, post, post, post. Ouch. You know, quarter inch and like four straight shots. Yeah. I definitely learned some things that I wish I knew during first round. I didn't know the best strategy for getting Raven. and even the 3x I had a pretty good strategy but I think the multiball the lily might be better so we're closing things up thank you guys for joining us that's it, Carl's going to sign us off here thank you Carl neverdrains.com alright thank you all for watching try to get this up on YouTube in a reasonable amount of time unlike Indus, Indus can take me forever see you all later goodbye
