really I need the saucer too for the extra I need one more oh jeez I'm looking at the screen up the that's it this is a easy restart petition them yes shot shoot ramps long day brain's not all here I guess are Precision flippers I don't care for precision flippers some people love them that's not my thing I will never tell anyone to put them on I think if you want to improve your flippers you can put the um put the new Stern bushings on but I wouldn't put the Precision flippers on new bushings are enough of an upgrade if you're having flipper issues shoot the another Direct Hit to the bridge I can't hit the scoop online oh thank goodness yeah they change the bushings with like think the stranger things rerun right right around there toensure I know boo this is a weird Godzilla it's got too many ways to save the ball really does pick your fight I have some upstairs I don't have them here so I can't show you like a comparison but there there's a there's less a slop in the new bushings monitor your Godzilla is heading towards the bridge Yep this is a baby game then absolute baby game godilla has called in backup jets are being deployed to deal with right let's get the target for nope that's not what I wanted I want the blinking blue Target there we go and got to finish another set of that and dra doing it yeah yeah I deserve that I did not all right again tanks Bridges all that fun stuff not Nilla shots tanks closer let's get out of the city po to win it's it's can you it's still a frame right it's right there just just look at it it it's so pretty it's actually not the game is actually not the best example of it it's it's the cabinet's very scratched up fo cities thanks for the Suba UN in another city are up the Tom and I are retiring we're both we're both cutting off soank Godzilla's attention the bridge has completely collapsed shoot the right okay both tanks and Bridge and I just need to get my power running now and then we'll have all the monster mon stuff and not drain like that anymore yeah well pachers actually I enjoy the game I think it's a fun game it it's I had one ages ago and the main reason I sold it was I was getting pissed off cuz I every time I would try and get to the wizard mode I would fail on the championship at the end the only way to get back to it is to run the entire ladder of uh of um cities again which adds like what a good 20 30 minutes to the game and it was just frustrating so I got so annoyed after getting to the mode that I just I sold the [Music] game sounds pretty common for me I guess though scoring is a little unbalanced too some of the modes are worth way too much for what they are with the um the high low particular I want to sayp all right I got to start there's my power line all right power Line's there let's get out of here get out of the multi don't need it bye-bye what causes the goat in uo it's random and there's actually an adjustment that uh is like goat percentage or as much as you [Music] can I want the Imposter cuz I want my Mo back there an ally oh almost a nice sling in the scoop this is bad okay Mo the yes you always have to up the goat fora the tanks are trying to f off Godzilla all right this doesn't matter Point don't matter just trying to get their Planet X finish that Victory challenge one day ball safe still running so it doesn't matter I can't get out of this there we Gozilla Hasen a direct can I explain what the imposters are so we have the mag the grab lit right here magnet gra you go over the lane that lights the magnet grab when the ball catches um You release it down this lane or you have a little bit that you can actually shoot the other way and you get an imposter War that's what it is is um there are four imposter Awards so the first one's always uh earn an ally um I am not remembering the other ones right now off top my head so scoring that they really don't do any score at the last one the last one's 250 million points apart from that they're assle uh I just need to finish this that's right oh no radar indic in the all right let's get the saucer with the alley if I can I get the extra ball cuz if I actually beat Planet X I will need the extras to try and get to um Monster Island Madness but that's not going to happen now apparently crap this is not a good [Music] all there we go that'll finish that one ah my [Music] MOA that might get it in one let's see did okay and then final shot all right there's that perfect all right you learn how to hit it by watch him dice it's also another way to light Ally just the first one just the first one is it points maybe minor points yeah I don't really think much of the points or I think of the um imposters all right now we are what do I need to do I need to light my tier 2 battle and play thatp build and then we're good to go I'm going to ignore the rage [Music] combo uh yeah let's do godsilla MOA and Rodan versus King Gora fight I still love the call outs of this game I think you know their voice actor did fantastic uh Rick um Z I think that's his name but it's such a such a difference between uh if you compare this to jaws and Jaws I feel is very limited just cuz it seems like the license really lock down what they could do with the voice acting D doesn't have much oh let me get that uh that saer to get the extra oh don't do that saer for the extra take was that third one yeah that of the two two battles which is the best one it's really whichever one's easiest to get out of I think this is cuz it's just three shots so you light the scoop you're going to hit the scoop and then just flee it's low points fight or flee flee all right now Planet X will be [Music] thank you sling Planet X our plans are all falling apart humanity is bringing the fight all right fun time fun time just tells you you can knock I don't know what the I haven't looked at that I've saw some of it but no you're not going to get any collaps unfortunately flip tronic not right now at least I haven't set anything up but yeah see it here also collaborate and stream with your friends add trusted collaborators and friends to your favorites so they can knock and ask to collaborate but I don't have any uh I don't have any speakers I need like headphones so that I can hear other people something I I've been meaning to do it first officer get us out of here and back to Planet X the ailan appear to be retreating back to their Planet let's take Godzilla and roll to Planet X with their sa way we go we must stop the exilian all right power lines first first phase missing all of them all right will defend our planet to the death I get this oh I got the spinner H now tanks this is the easy level this is only the F oh boy I'm Not Dead Yet first level I can have only one ball in play and be okay second level if you haven't seen this for the victory challenge you cannot be in single ball you have to be in multiball which is what makes it so difficult the future all right now it's I probably should um tweak my plunger so it so it hits that um cap the ball on the plunge for this ah no I don't I don't need to do that cuz on the second phase you it's not like the balls plunge out oh boy no don't use moth in this phase no how many more do I have Ah that's okay I still have the add ball if I need it I didn't I need okay come on go back go back okay we must stop until it's assault on our home good there it is and scoop and scoop all of you join me in Escape all right now the fun what is it godilla has won yeah the knock thing's new I mean I don't know exactly I didn't read up on it just joking friends I read up instead on the uh you know updated app stuff and the uh and the increased sub prices on mobile cono make a good pin probably good probably good the D East one was weird ah missed the shot damn it I got it on the first one still have multiball that's what matters right here get rid of that ball come on I don't have a lot of time to fool around right here all

but I I do do enjoy playing through the entire all short way come on don't drain okay finish a thought shortways getting the monster mon completed so tanks power line Bridge um and playing through two cities and they'll light the shortcut that's it D you can do better than that oh Rampage okay um and you got to get the billion do I know you yeah I don't either normally well I do if I'm playing for just fun those destruction jackpots can get nutty if you you know you really push them far you should play for them the shortcut to get to Planet X and then thus in turn get to get to um king of the monsters early too building doing this cuz an extra ball would be would be nice to have right now another one yeah that fourth city with tanks if you really build them up it's it's so I missed it okay um I don't really want to shoot the loop uh yeah I don't want to oh goodness there we go okay there's my ailla yay I normally would play this out but since I'm where I am in this game I'm not going to play anything out [Music] uh one more for level six okay so I got a little bit to a so basically it's just play through the game now um that was bad I was going to I was about to say that um that'll give me some powerups is astronomical yes yes the code fixed the Rampage yeah exactly wrong with our computers the uh the the that second uh final shot over here all right save or just you ruin it all we'll be right back oh my goodness um nope I missed all of them there we go worth it worth it worth it worth it worth it yes worth it okay oh my gosh all right get that start Mecca try and get the supers in Mecca so I don't mess this up return I have two more balls left I think keep shooting restart no not this one mega Godzilla Mall I an add a ball that's good I got to finish this multiball this time Godzilla is now making his to the city's main line of defense no restarts with Monsterland Manis on the line here well there's another hidden call for restart yeah thanks thanks I'm not using my heat rate cuz I'd rather save that for um for the super if I need it guess I could do the the reverse building shot if I need it come on I can make that left ball this is sad this is sad it's just a left ramp I can't shoot left ramp all right there we are now we're in the super build phase and now I'm pretty much going to get this no matter what cuz I've got my um I've got my ball go for the Super Jackpot now it's lit if I can hit the tail whip if it starts counting down I will use the heat ring it's going to get right there super jackp all right all right there's one super doesn't get me all the way on all the you know everything I need but uh it's this okay power ups lit that'll be level six [Music] um still not there still not there Zac thanks for the sub uh what do I want here I'll just take a ro in it doesn't matter all right I got a lot of powerups to get now what what would uh what would you do to grind powerups now tank multi sure sure we'll do tank why am I grinding I need to get the power up level eight to light king of the monsters now that's why tail web yeah tail web killed me last time I tried that's why I haven't done it that's so that was my first thing too I'm not as accurate on tail whip as you are that's for sure I'm actually really bad out of it destroy tanks to light Canon super ja sure keep putting tanks there I'll do that all day have destroyed Mas Cannon is lit for Super Jackpot Tri Super Jackpot I just wish I remembered everything that gave you um powerups Godzilla has crushed another T has destroyed Team all this stuff has to be giving me power ups I would think yeah that's okay other than tail whips keep going for Godzilla multi yeah yeah considering that since I messed up on the other one um that's right destruction jackpots will do it I believe those increas it by one do I work for CERN no I do no destruction jackpot don't do it don't don't okay yep that got me one all right I bet finishing Tesla strike would do it too jet fighters I think we do it give me something I don't like my ski jump I didn't on purpose miss that ramp but it it's nice when it happens like that oh and there's another extra ball if I can do this too that's right that's good that's a good thing all right there's the extra I'm going to ignore that I don't know why I just shot that I'm trying to go for tail whips I don't know how you get that tail whip all the bet does the end of Tesa strike if I can shoot it power is down Godzilla is one step closer to destroying the city yeah that did it okay I got another power up now that's seven streams a bunch of people would think a shark should eat a [Laughter] no got the destruction jackpot lit I should need to take that uh it doesn't matter in get ready in 3 2 1 all right there's another one ah a tail whip all right where am I here another train will get me another one um oh plus two uned power seven I think Zach had it on his machine where he could just hold up The Flipper and bump it a little and we go in the the tail wh Loops are not going to happen play bridge yeah Bridge could do it what if impostor this bridge is really taking oh well that's the final impostor battle hold up and baby flick yeah it the ah baby flick just doesn't work okay destruction jackpot destruction jackpot baby flick baby flick I'm trying it right now it's not I'm not confident on it but I can try it next time didn't do it didn't do it stop it saer you must feel pretty good about yourself ah one more just one more tail Whip's lit ball one locked Godzilla has uned his WTH I guess I can just play multiball again get it there oh one more tail whip look at it all right so I just need a super here right a super boosted one there goes the muting of this video with this zero supers incoming yes I got the button though please please yeah that's normally when I need a super I won't get it yep you're totally Jack Jack free single get the add ball now while I'm at ball okay build I'm trying to shoot the building I'm trying there we go okay there's a super I think that does it yes it's lit all [Music] right have fun or just go to it should just go to it [Music] right five secret com oh that's great yeah give me a stuck ball right now perfect perfect timing yeah secret combos I'm I I got to go other there thank you I get a ball stuck on the left flipper you know just trapped I will uh I will drain out of this there we go up thank you it seems is king of the monsters all right I don't mess this up I'm going to drain actually because I had used the Tilt warning [Applause] [Music] there shoot again that way I've got full you know I don't have to worry about it ladies and gentlemen all right so if I finish this we'll see uh monster ey of the M Madness if I don't then it's going to be very very sad cones for everyone if I miss yeah K so I will not try to point press this well the first phase doesn't matter I can point press that the second half is just going to be you know try and get through Titanosaurus I beat Planet X zmac I beat it monsters yeah I I know I can't believe I actually did the damn thing finally so F part one doesn't matter part one's just points it's part two that that really matters so I can play this out I'm going to play it out do what I usually do go for um go for the name of the monster I can't remember at the moment cuz I'm just too space at the moment there we go erra not erra I'm really I'm too damn nervous already jeez megalon yeah I always go for megalon first I always do well you keep put megalon there what the heck I mean it's going to build my value nicely but that's mean that's just mean spinner the megalon value is massive because of it but it's funny Godzilla's giv megal a pounding he won't soon forget megalon is down for the count all right I need to hit those targets uh now is when I like to use my heat and that's everyone down for the you can't do 2x during this though so should be a juicy Bounty I'm not going to point press the Bounty though I'm not going to try and get my 4X or 5x I just want to get through this oh that's a massive Bounty I mean that's huge yeah I mean this could be a 10 billi if you on a perfect run it would be a 10 billion Point uh King of the monster but I'm just going to try and get through this I'm not going to try to keep everything in play the entire time I have an add ball so I can use that when I need it um the two shots I find the toughest are the upper Loop and the um and the spinner cuz there's so many spinner hits that you need and the loop just because Loop's never fun in multiball folks this is a back and forth battle of Epic Proportions so I actually won't use the out of ball until I'm about to drain the last ball just so I can have that safety net normally I'd play that out I I I would try to I would try to pull it in earlier to multiply it but with with the Monster Island Madness on the line I'm not I'm not doing that that's fine that was a weird kick out [Music] Loop we want greed everyone wants greed I know well if I can pull it off I'll pull it off you know I'm not there's a loop okay so what I need I need a center shot and then two if that ball had just cradled on the left I would have been so happy all right we're down to a 3X Max now it ah sorry no greed no greed here not this time I thought about it I really did God damn it 10 9 there's a timer no why did I do that sh I you know it's been so long since I go I didn't even remember there was a timer on this Godzilla has King Z against the ropes oh my gosh I was going to freak out there I was going to [Music] [Laughter] just all right King gadora has been defeated oh my gosh it was almost cone time oh that's for sure so now king of the monsters is just a timed mode I'll save the whole time I mean Monster Island [Music] M and I've gotten here before but I uh achievement it was before the achievements were there so I got the arrows and again ball save is going to stay on the whole time so just a matter can I shoot those two upper shots now oh let these balls go there's one okay it's always the left ramp give me a ball just give me a clean shot I just want another clean shot [Music] no six balls is too many on this layout there we go all right that's more arrows more arrows 10 9 8 7 5 4 come on give me Shots 1 that's it not that much out of it Gora all right yeah it's just a go nut mod exactly godilla is off for a welld deserved rest That's all folks all right the damage to is Asal now what I think I still the achievements I don't have on this are like the lifetime achievements like uh you know 50 imposters that kind of thing utterly incredible yes World Poker T needs to be fixed yes yes yes it absolutely does slow bar thanks for the prime good was that ball one yes yes exactly the tgp has now been reduced for this tournament it is now uh actually I'm probably going to end this right now yes this you know I I actually don't think going to Planet X is a bad tournament strategy on this it takes about 10 or 15 minutes if you can do slow bar thanks for the gift Subs my goodness can I return the game is still in the warranty phase um but yeah I think going for Planet X and king of the monsters is not a bad tournament strategy on this uh it's it's not that far in the game you know to take the shortcut after the second City it shortens the game not that that's a great thing but um but you you get several billion points out of it can I talk about pin Slash in person so okay so pin Slash in person is going to be the entire indis weekend there going to be two games I don't know what yet but a pair of games games and it's going to be a challenge mode with a leaderboard the top four people through the entire weekend on the leaderboard will play the four player pain Slash playoffs which are going to be the hour between uh quarterfinals and semi-finals for the open so in that point I'm going to have the tutorials up and just show the the goals I haven't decided if it's just going to be straight who finishes it first or if it's going to be the timers like it was online the timers are a little more difficult to run um so it's probably it's probably going to be whoever finishes the task first is going to win the match and this just going to be best two of three or best three of five um Big Buck Hunter times two you find me a second Big Buck Hunter but there's no challenge mode in big buck so the point is to have each attempt be you know not take forever so I'm hoping a challenge mode that'll take you know four to five minutes max so that you know anybody that wants to try for it can try for it have both games available so you can practice on both figure out which game you like to play more or or less or whatever you know cuz they always play differently nothing ever plays the same um and then just stream it stream it at that time and hope people like it open season with the kids yeah yeah so as long as the kids don't play it first everyone else will feel like they have a chance and then they'll play it and no one else will play it they'll see the leaderboards and go crazy right so but we'll see so I I would assume it's going to either be Godzilla JW or um I don't think Avengers probably one of those Miss some of that what what did you miss I'm I cannot this game I can't play the uh stranger things doesn't have a well it has challenge modes I mean it could be something else it really could be it might not be an L1 game Maiden doesn't have a challenge mode unfortunately it doesn't have to be an L one just the games have been structured in the past so that they have I have a harder challenge you know when I was doing the online ones but I don't want something that's going to be like like Vu and I played the bond heads up at Ace I don't want it to be a single shot goal you know it's going to be something that's going to take two to three minutes to get to when we're actually in the heads up portion yeah and Johnny will not be allowed anywhere near anything at that time unfortunately I'm not giving away we're not giving away a game like that one Ray got my got the Aerosmith perfect run up to that point yeah I think a bit more advanc rules at that last it's a matter of can I get the tutorials what's nice about Godzilla is I have the tutorials already star yeah no it was Star Wars Star Wars was the final game the game he won for it was Aerosmith and then what I got $300 it was it was a brand new Stern or $300 for second place I think that's what the the difference or it was 500 it was something like ridiculous the the gap between for that first IPA heads up imagine splitting yeah I can't chop in AOS Smith in half you want 80 bucks or something yeah it was still a fun time I still liked it and it kind of kicked off that it didn't kind of it really did kick off the heads up thing I'm sad that the IPA doesn't run it anymore it would be nice and that's why I wanted to bring back SP class I've been trying to think of ways to get it back into an indisk or get it into indis somehow but this is the first time I feel like I have a decent plan that's going to work well um I think it will work well it's nice to give all the other players an hour break so they can go grab a uh bite to eat or anything like that a guessing how many players have hit game over it's got to be plenty I don't think the game this game is not the hardest playing game so I think a lot of it is attainable especially with the shortcuts I mean maybe maybe 10% of the owner just a wild guess that's just a complete guess though are you sending an NAA cnk I don't they're shipping aren't they I haven't seen anyone streaming yet have you do I want to play Nowa all right I am going to call it because I I actually you haven't seen Queen you're not missing anything Queen was a sadly a disaster in my opinion um but yeah I've done my goal on this I think oh I was going to look at the achievements but I think it's all lifetime stuff yet it's fine no no no it's not fine I know that Mama you killed the pinball machine yeah you really did what a h that's a license that really makes me sad because I I like Queen a lot but that was just oh I it's it's it's up there with some of the um spookies for me sadly and really sad really really sad all right where am I sitting you where do you want to oh we're gonna go to the B and Chimes tournament playing Princess Bride on pirate pwns ninja oh that's awesome that doing that hope I get to play that at some point thanks everyone for tuning in thanks

    competitive_signal: Godzilla shortcut path (Planet X after city 2, then King of Monsters) identified as viable tournament strategy yielding multiple billion points in 10-15 minutes, reducing overall game time.

    high · Streamer analysis: 'going for Planet X and The King of the monsters is not a bad tournament strategy... gets several billion points out of it... takes about 10 or 15 minutes'

    licensing_signal: Godzilla licensing appears more permissive than Jaws licensing. Streamer compares voice acting quality/variety between games, suggesting Jaws IP holder restricted vocal content more strictly.

    machine_intel: PinCLASH will feature two unrevealed games with challenge mode support. Streamer speculates likely candidates include Godzilla, Jurassic World, or possibly others. Games must have challenge mode capability and appropriate difficulty scaling.

    medium · Streamer: 'I would assume it's going to either be Godzilla JW or um I don't think Avengers probably one of those' and notes Iron Maiden and Big Buck Hunter lack sufficient challenge mode support
