[Music] we hope you enjoyed the women's playoffs earlier today it is tournament number four right now it is the classics 2 again 32 people will make the playoffs last year this tournament Was Won by the number one player in the world aser leov who will it be this year to take this home let's find hi there everybody this is uh IE pinball stream for the classics 2 finals this is the first round of the finals we'll be covering the three of us hi I'm Ron hi I'm Mike Welsh and I'm Tom graph welcome we're here at the Riverside Convention Center in beautiful Riverside California and we're going to be watching some Classics action yeah some more Classics today our second Classics tournament our third actually if you count the classics match play uh Neil and Tom did either of you get a chance to play in the classics today I did unfortunately that's why I'm in the booth I I I did also unfortunately because I am also in the booth but you uh you did very well the last two uh classic tournaments uh yeah the match play Classics I I finished second and then yesterday I actually did nothing for most of my entries and then the last entry I had I think IID have a first a first a 100th and a first wow and just got in at the bottom that's pretty amazing uh but uh a lot of uh great competitors here top 32 uh whittling down to the final person and uh the winner gets this beautiful trophy here awesome Trophy and the qualifying we should say is is I think the hardest qualifying format there is where basically it's it's not it's not a situation where you could just play the same game over and over and keep putting money in until no you you pay for one entry four games and all four games have to be good yep or well three number ones in a terrible game can also but even then you'll be at the bottom of the list the consistency needed is high level high level and Beyond what I can normally produce I'll say that yeah playing one good game of pinball is hard enough what Lear for especially in games of of this era where house balls are plenty yes too many too many so right now what they're doing they're getting the groups together in the high seeds in each group are picking their games or deferring if they just want to pick order and we're doing I believe we're they're doing so the high seeds depending on how long they stay in they cannot repeat any picks all right so looks like we're headed over to CarHop for our first game to a surprise of not me at group five group five so what you'll see is probably as the tournament goes on you're probably going to be seeing a good degree of car hop I'm guessing you will be seeing a lot of um uh cheetah probably yeah car hop I think it's a game that people weren't familiar with as much and now that people have been able to put their games in they've sort of figured it out uh you'll probably see a lot of the uh hitting the lit spinner and this is an interesting game in most got Le games of this era you usually have to just roll through the in Lane to light the spinner but in this game you kind of have to hit this combo on that right Loop there's a drop Target up there and then through the upper spinner will be lit and you can keep comboing that to increase the spinner the huge value I think 200,000 a spin huge points yes in the classic match play I was in a group with uh Bowen Kerins and he had no idea how to play this game so that's all you need to know yeah if you can execute on that spinner big points and looks like our our first group here will be Jeff folis Eden Stam Travis muray and David Johnston how important is it to go for this target when it's uh flashing that's a good question because I've seen people just tra and completely ignore it depending on what mode it's in there is a mode on this called I think it's called Bullseye M Bullseye mode where it's a million a hit on that that Target up there and you got to hit it pretty good I noticed glancing blows do not register no all right player one is going to be Jeff tiis I saw him put up a good car a good game on this in qualifying over 50 million he's looking for some hot stuff baby this evening with his Donna Summer shirt so you saw him trying to hit the spinner there it's lit off the plunge unfortunately missed and it is a combo that it goes out whenever you hit any other switch you see in the center we have hamburgers if you get them in a line something happens I think if they're in a line it does light the bullseye for a million as long as they're in a line easy trap here yeah this The Godly flippers of this era pretty much always an easy trap there's that spinner shot can he keep it going now in qualifying I know D Danielle yashari actually had he rolled this twice wow insane yes he had a crowd around him for that so there are chances of big scores here a little hang up on the spinner there and these gly flippers the ball comes nicely to a trap yep one one good thing about that design the only good thing yeah because it could also get a little floppy so you go to do a dead bounce and it doesn't work and it just like right there it did not bounce off very far I noticed at least on this the um kick out from the left the left hole is not as consistent you have to kind of trap it from the right you can just let it bounce off the left flier yeah I noticed the same thing when I was playing this run so interestingly uh Jeff has his Center Bullseye lit to collect the last letter in car hop the O unfortunately he just hit a switch so it change but that does give you a jackpot ah do you actually have to shoot it or does it just give it to you I I think you you just have to shoot it but I'm not sure I guess hopefully we'll find out when someone hits it someone will do it when I was watching Jeff earlier he chose the timeout most of the modes and just go for the spinner all day I think that'll be the high level strategy you'll see will he go for the drop no he's going for Target these are Godly drops so they will pretty much always and there's the yo there's the jackpot nice there's the bell and you do just get it they got a pretty heavy duty Bell in this thing it it's a very good sound and you can see the letters on the backlash the car star and the Hop and I believe that's Progressive from game to game so you do want to keep an eye on that is a Hallmark of Jon Norris the designer of this game oh he loved his Progressive Awards a nice ball one from Jeff that's excellent ball one at least for me that would have been excellent ball one I would have taken that my qualifying all right another Canadian Eden Stam Eden Stam well I didn't recognize it first cuz last time I saw him he had hair shorter than [Laughter] mine Co does that oh didn't quite get the spinner there still got some good points and that question mark gives you a random mode unfortunately it was just a th000 points there yeah he wasn't expecting that uh had to bounce off that post yeah he didn't play the kick out he didn't play for the bounce pass he hit it on the Fly and then he also hit the center post the center post it it had rubber on it yesterday but not today I notic they took it off there's a ni spinner shot I know this guy Travis muy he's on that PO cast yes triple drain so this is an interesting feature you use the flipper to cycle through the modes you want to try to get a good mode uh Bullseye round was a good mode score 1,000 not so much let's see if he gets something he gets the line up the hamburgers which not great but the bullseye is lit for a million he could try to hit that or maybe just go for the spinner some it I would say Travis very it be a very deliberate safe approach yeah playing he's not going to just go for things yeah this is definitely the safe way to play it if you can make the the spinner shot you're never in danger he's trying to post pass over right now yeah I kind of I gave up on the post pass I I just did shat all well just's get a diner Vibe with this when I hear all the bells expect to hear order up it's making me hungry I'm I want an ice pop well if I look this up this probably came out around the same time as Diner still trying to post pass not coer get it to that left flipper he's not giving up no I'm going to make it work don't tap pass it though don't try that I tried the alley here David Johnston another Canadian oh they Canadians are here in there oh that's the danger of hitting those control the level of talent at this tournament is probably the highest we'll see overall I would say all the best players in the world are here quite a few nice spinner rip there off the plunge look how much he got just from that huge and again keep here there was a post transfer yeah he did it win little late uhoh how do you raise that Target up there I believe the left that left rollover on the far left the play field will raise it okay so you just want to hit hit the spinner or hit the center shot and it will re ra then you can combo it into that right Loop he went for the bullseye so here we go he's going to try to hit the bullseye so some players have been timing this out already you can hit the bullseye for a million as long as the Mode's running looks like Eden just going to ignore it Go spin all day there he goes and see as a glancing it did not I think that register did not H the Bell there go one ring that Bell nice shot oh but the spinner didn't light no tra now he's into the Heatwave mode we'll probably see him time this out 3 million isn't a lot of points and takes a lot of shots to get through this mode yeah it's like eight or nine shots at that Bullseye to get it and it's just too risky when I played this two days ago this is what we were doing like uh no we're not we're not that a lot of this a cool feature on the back glass in the top left there's a thermometer and it actually raises as you make shots and you have to fill the thermometer and to get the reward sometimes it's for double your score which if you're greedy maybe that's worthwhile sometimes but and look at the grid it has the actual numbers which I've never noticed before but a lot of The Godly games with the grid do this two one that's awesome and I believe it say zero too no it just goes from one to off there we go there lit look at those points 200,000 a spin that's absurd oh this is a nice little hurry up feature on the bullseye it counts up to a million but if you time it right just for the end it it goes to 10 million oh it does it's really hard to get that 10 million but oh wow we see Eden there just time it out continue the safe strategy watching this you can see why this is going to be a popular pick just because you you get a chance yep not going to get house too much do the safe things keep the ball alive and get your points nice up the middle tried for it save he's going to settle down now he he backhanded that Center Loop before so I'm wondering if he tries that again there he goes try it this timer counting five four three not quite as exciting as like a shuttle launch or award extra ball for what a million yeah I'm not sure if that's worth worth points there maybe uh 250,000 or 500,000 is usually got got Le amount oh again no rubber on that post so great ball from Eden finding up to 10 million solidly in second place but we saw it just takes one or two good spinner rips you get a ton of points absolutely there's one it he's doing it but unfortunately I don't think you can light your spinner while this Mo's running but maybe he's actually trying to double his score that would be exciting hang on there it goes and I will say one of the six seconds one of the awards or modes you can get in this game there is a catchup award and it is actually on did he do it I think he did it he did jumps into the lead I love it gutsy play so when I was playing this before one of the awards I got was catchup and they spell it like catchup like the the food item uhhuh but it didn't catch me up to the first player but it C caught me up to the whoever I was closest to that's another got leap special right there all right back back to work back to the grind and I got to say these players make it look easy but that's a tight shot there and hitting that upper spinner it's not what a ball there from Travis a great ball catching up the first place doubling his so in this mode what are we going for the Suns that are flash yeah the the Sun Shots I believe the bullseye is worth more points than the the shots so I think you get two hits for the bullseye and one for the lanes does it tell you how many hits you need uh it's the thermometer on the back glass unfortunately we we don't have a full view of it there's a nice Bulls I hit arm's running low he's got to make one or two more shots maybe Bullseye will do it oh and that's it and that was a nice little shake to save it from going into the outline on the right side there and also this is Scott Le so there is no grace takes the score was that score 500,000 that's not bad take that free points free trying to get control there you another mode another 500k that's nice and the nice side the nice dead bounce side everything good dig there keeps alive tips it over and out now we're going into ball three Travis is in the lead by hair over Jeff both with 14 million Ron and Mike I think we're going to see a spinner rip here I think so an attempt now there is a skill shot on this game that upper rollover but it's not really worth it cuz it turns off the spinner might as well just plunge yeah hit the spinner for Millions versus I think the skill shots only spots you on ice pop not very worthwhile and Andrew Foster in the background from the UK waiting for Jeff tiis speaking up ice pops he wants to ice his warning yes that is not a malfunction that is their tilt warning sound W he can double his score here like Travis did going to do it no he's going to time it oh he he's not going to it is a risky proposition it's a lot of shots make it's a lot of points easy for us to say go for it we're not there of course but I'll say go for it come on yeah Jeff's no dummy he's going to play for that spinner do the save thing he's going for the Post transfer oh he's going to call it TD there an issue it's an issue Bob Bob Matthews coming over not sure what the issue is I wonder if he's asking if the about the drop Target that's what I'm wondering fact not up because definitely it is down sometimes so is this star roll over here or is it up top I was thinking it's the the roll over on the left but I could be incorrect you might have to combo it from the spinner okay and then it re raises I do know on the right one of uh the lights says light spinner and the other green one might be a raised drop Target okay but I'm not not totally clear maybe we'll keep keep an eye on it we're waiting for this ruling feel free to subscribe to IE pinball yes if you're tuning in for the first time you can follow it's free to do so Carl is an amazing streamer oh they're paging we are paging Jim bedo whose game it probably is I'm guessing our main our main Tech yeah shout outs to Jim fixing all the games this game was at uh pinball at the lake and that's uh where I got my first try at it and I had never seen it for my life and here's Jeff I guess we're playing on yeah they're probably calling him for one of the other matches and there the the the drop Target just re raised when he hit that up oh there's he's good he's good he's probably GNA explain Jim the former pin birg Champion yeah I think that's what they're asking about is the drop Target because I saw him just point in that direction this is where you hope you don't drain instantly cuz you look so foolish when that happens it's a spinner anyways there we go here's your chance ni and that's why you time out that mode so you get a chance to do this for way more points great control by Jeff I how much like this is what I had to do huh that doesn't mean I'd be able to do it but and if you can keep comboing this this spinner builds in value oh it does yeah I think it goes from ,000 I think up to 200,000 maybe even 300,000 which is ridiculous yeah you can see those Arrows by the spinner they'll light up progressively as you keep comboing that oh what a dig there he seems to have the secret of the post pass down though see the replay here instant replay wow oh and Jeff lost it but he hit the spinner that's what he needed to do y up to 25 million yeah it's going to be tough to beat can you guess his T-shirt Norwest pinball Championship okay this should be a game the sweater just enough of the shirt see if you can figure out what it is tries the backhand the center a little bit early there it is yeah I think it's that switch on the side that's when the targ came up okay the the one in the middle the switch right here yeah that's what it looked like it went up hit that Eden got into an ice pop mode you get those by completing the drops he's just going to time this out should these got leaves really unique playfields but they'll have all these modes that you just time out oh he tried to get some play off that Center Post but no rubber and right now Eden is third we'll see if David has anything to say about that and now it's player three Travis yeah we'll see if Travis has anything to say about Jeff Tois is first bounce oh man I cringe when I see that dead flip cuz these flippers are not the most reliable with of this era they'll just die and you'll lose the ball nice nice flip with the upper flipper there oh an actual trap that it it got past the Trap oh is he going to double his score again he's shaking his head no not this time where is he he's going for it oh my goodness this will be crazy I love it got to do it go for the glory y another glancing blow it doesn't register oh he's got to be close now oh a little bit early stay in oh nice save there we go one more shot do it Travis glancing I want to see it so bad three is that it two one one more hurry hurry oh come on oh he got ripped ripped off period either and he gets nothing and I'll like it could be worse it could be double or nothing true L everything that is a Godly thing also yeah that would not be good line them up extra ball I think that puts it on the purple hamburgers and now the extra ball is lit on that Center Target un fortunately every switch changes the hamburgers so we won't get to see that to what do you think we catch Jeff right now three or four lit Spinners yeah three good rips good rips oh and he's in Heatwave again for score do it do it do it do it I think he's got 10 he's got to get 10 doing it he's doing it doing it what a brave three four five man oh wow three two one I think he got it he got it that's amazing he jumps way 37 lead the guts and it pays off and yeah and Jeff Jeff had his chance there and he he did not go for it and the extra ball was lit again but wow he he'll take that that's amazing I love it I think play by tra actually another feature of the Heatwave mode there he hit that right orbit and I think that doubled the value of the bullseye as far as advancing his thermometer and that's why he got so much progress with that one Bullseye shot big risk big reward in the car Zone that doesn't work now David has a little bit of a mountain to climb here but if he can chop away that spinner yep all things are possible with that spinner lit and in this match play format you should really be looking at that I think it's 11 million as his first goal yep just doesn't want to be last four uh it's a 42 one Z scoring so taking a games three games 4 two one zero late we'll say it looks fun to shoot watching it it's like you said Tom these uh gly layouts don't really see anything like them nowadays no everyone complains about cookie cutter layouts like you had great layouts well different layouts anyway I could say for a newer owner of a game of this era they were built extremely well say they made they made some good ones in this era yeah they have the best drop targets any manufacturer n oh rough bounce there down the middle fortunately David will take a last but great job to Travis getting the first place there with that really gutsy play yeah doubling his score twice unbelievable doesn't show Danielle's 27 million that's unbelievable what did he do did he just do Spinners did he I heard he just did spinner yeah him he prob yeah he probably just never missed for 20 minutes or something like that wow uh oh am I not supposed to throw any I don't I don't have the liquid death they've had a bunch of yeah get the Liquid death official sponsor there there you go if you're thanks Carl if you're uh justun tuning in you're watching it never drains in Southern California our second Classics tournament the third day here uh we just finished the first round the first game of the first round uh stay tuned we'll have some more pinball action coming y I was going to say what does the chat say but I don't yeah unfortunately we don't have access to the chat here but have access to the chat but I'm we've got a great set of games here in these uh Classics finals uh lots of you know like CarHop I don't think many people know know about I didn't certainly didn't know about before playing it the pinball at the lake and just a great lineup really dialed in games I'm excited to see what's next me too I think it's Rush no just let's go I thought that Ron and I are big big fans of the game right R how about you Mike you like rush I do I do like it um I need to put more time on it but the code is really good I love how all of the modes and the multiballs sort of integrate with the songs The Rush songs you know I think it's really clever it is yeah they did a really nice job with it they did all right we might be going to supersonic ah oh wow Super Sonic uh is the next pick huh or or or the rig is just kind of hanging out yeah it could be supersonic is like the it's the anti- St game it's left flipper only all left flipper all the time so R and Tom have you had a chance to go to the game lab or the Food Lab here in Riverside Food Lab I have I haven't gone to the game lab I I have not some great food there at the food lab right across the street here in Riverside um and then right across from the Food Lab is the game lab which is a really cool arcade tons of pinballs there I think Jim operates a lot of his machines there what do you mean like right out here yeah yep right across the street I okay I did go to the Food Lab then and I didn't even know about the game lab yeah it's right right across from the game lab or from the Food Lab and the game lab yeah great games there Jim Belo Jay Collins operate there and I think we're about ready to get to the next game all right and it is super there you go elect one of my favorites Su better Sonic what you want to do on the plunge is get the center lane the center lane lights the spinner what you will I'm guessing all the players will try to do try to get center lane you're going to try to shoot that saucer there's your multiplier and the lit spinner on the right side and that's that's basically it probably won't see too many people shooting anything on the left side oh and if it's on the right flipper either a tap pass or an alley pass or post pass to get it over ice nudge he's trying to get control yeah this is playing very fast very hard to control uhoh that's trouble gone he never had control that entire ball this will definitely be a quicker game than C oh yes y and this game can really be feast or famine if you just can't find that center lane to light that spinner find the saucer yeah you can't find a saucer your score will be so low yeah and also important it opens your gate down here to get the ball back in the shooter Lane and he gets perfect plune and he's going to get a trap uhoh no there we go here some spins a little bit early y I always like to see the decision like spinner or saucer CU some people don't go for the saucer at all they'll just hit spinner nonstop I usually like to get some bonus first uh use the spinner hit hit the rollovers until I get some bonus and then go for the saucer yeah and the other thing is the spinner is pretty good on this yep just like all the games here the Spinners are really dialed in nice not nice nice good thing he had that gate open at that Stargazer we saw yesterday that thing was insane nice he's got that pun down relights the spinner reopens that gate but no left from the game left outlanes brutal be minimal bonus there now we're in the same order as last game player three is Travis he's playing he's trying the that pass seeing if he's going to do good that's where I kept plunging it left flane I mean that's what could be so frustrating sometimes if you just can't find the plunge can't make anything happen it's hard to find that uh Center when you're going back it reminds me of what is it called strikes and Spares and Strikes where you got to keep hitting it up to try to get the one lane over and over and it could never go there there's a nice alley pass into the saucer here get twox for that that's another thing how to handle the kick out on some it comes down and you can just drop catch it and go in this one you can't really do that yeah looks like he tried but solid was heading towards the tip of the flipper so fli it away all right let's see if he does that tap pass heuse practice to yeah looks like he wants the alley but but he will have 24,000 in bonus there there's David center lane do we have the center lane oh the game is designed too for it to be difficult because it actually goes down from the center right oh had hate to see that you get to Center Lane in immediate drain you don't get a chance all right Jeff getting under control here let's see if he does a tap or an alley pass either just sends it pass all right saucer or spinner spinner and oh not a clean shot yeah we little caught up on the gate all right will he send it up top again try try tap pass thinking close coming that's at least two drains that were kind of below the slings if you will just trying to get control of the ball and end up draining all right in Stam current Cur l in the lead here see if he can find the plunge again yeah he's really had that DED in ball one and OH Close walked it over tried to nudge it in but no luck but he does complete the 1 two 3 4 five yeah some good bonus he hits the drop Target which doesn't go down thank you B some nice bumper love there up the the saucer 3x now everything's going his way right now let's see how he approaches it nice there we go try to flick it up backhand it now somebody told me you could backhand the saucer into the into the really okay yeah I'd love to see that I'd love to see that I wasn't going to risk it but the waterfall I I I try to avoid it just because it generally puts it right into the sling right maybe Eden was just trying to see what the feed was like to see if maybe it would have worked out so he's got his bonus maxed 20 at 20,000 with the 3x 60,000 he could get the 5x if he gets in the saucer nice sa that ball alive oh some great saves here byen nice he went for the saucering for that phenomenal flipper skills going to get a clean shot here oh goes for the spinner huge H it too hard it was too clean stay in oh the gate is open because he had just got that two yep it'll turn off a spinner but he can relight it going down that Center [Music] and oh love love to see him get that saucer for the 5x too nice dead bounce there to get that spinner shot nice I was going to say my prediction after all the rejects is it would just bounce in and that's what it did all right sitting at 100,000 in bonus now I I at this point you got to get in your head don't tilt right great ball awesome you want to know how to play supersonic you just saw it and the cool thing is it counts up really slow so you get to enjoy you get to bask awesome Lost World might be the only one that's and it's great you get your opponent has to stand there and watch your bonus count up player three Travis he trying to dial in that it but to cradle on the left but it's on sitting on the flipper he bats it into the spinner no oh I was going to get stuck there for a second nice alley pass there on the Fly nice save thank you in Lane get in there there you go beautiful all right now he's got to five catch uncomfortable it's really stuck he's not going to have to nudge that out time to get a TD oh come on not even a cursory little little little Love tab like nope just I'm not trying it okay yeah there is money on the line now so that is true you get that ruling when you can I love when it's between the in lane and out lane and the ruling is I can drain it for you if you would like oh here it comes goes all right so Jim must have said tap those flippers it'll come out nice lit spinner shot there oh down the middle but that was a nice ball from Travis yeah puts him solidly into second place David's going to try to play catchup is that the actual name of the shot I don't I don't know I just called the one I we parag it's the waterfall the jet stream it's a valley yeah it says jet stream there so I guess that's the proper here oh just a little too high on the Alley passer a little too soon and these flipper skills aren't easy especially in a tournament setting the alley pass is always the scariest thing to try cuz the ball's almost draining while you do it for me I I I would see the tap pass is more dangerous yeah oh wow house ball there for Jeff yeah he's going to unfortunately take last here and get a zero stay at two points and Eden has a great opportunity to get first here get four points out of oh nice de bounce gets a clean shot a little bit late and pays for absolutely yeah and Travis has got to be thinking if he passes Eden he's moving on with eight points but for the purposes of the stream we don't want that why not we want the drama want the drama all right but have said on the thing they gave me when I was doing the announcing to not you know root for any players I'm not rooting for Travis or root for what I just said either mhm tried to Alli pass on the Fly he's trying to get that initial trap there we go he did practice the tap pass before but he must have not like what he felt and just like no I'm not doing that I think a lot of players feel like you do Tom where the Alli feels safer than the tap yeah yeah sometimes on on some games the tap pass can get squirrly and Paragon yeah I trained on this one trying to tap I did not have it down all right Travis is going for it he's up to 150,000 at this point you start thinking about the bonus X yep he's over 10,000 in bonus all right let's look at the C that alley pass oh perfect that's about as good as you can do it full track rip there yeah right now he's got lit spinner gates open beautiful he's got that down sticking with the spinner yeah sometimes you almost hope the pop bumper just throws it right into the uh the saucer there I mean he he might have been watching Eden earlier and the saucer just wasn't sticking so keep it safe there you go there you go there go and I think with the bonus there that will that'll do it but put him ahead of feeding but David still has a ball in hand that's right don't forget David and this is definitely a one ball game so he can come David could come back here and play spoiler and take thing is it's not one person who moves on it's two people who move on correct so if Travis gets the eight that means it's going to be a tighter with the other three players had to send that oh no no love no but don't get a point well it's going to be uh Eden at three Jeff still at two and David at one so really anybody else can still move on it's going to be a battle for the second spot yep congratulations to Travis for moving on I think he's guaranteed to move on now yeah battle for second and who was a high seat is it Jeff to yeah Jeff so Jeff Jeff picked those games so let's see what Jeff picks for game number three and just to uh quickly go over the tournament format just in case anyone's not familiar it's 42 one0 scoring first place gets four points second place two points third place one point three games in a round and top two move on high seed gets the pick game R position so Jeff is going to we'll see what game he picks what do you think what do you think we'll see for the next round oh I don't know the other rule is Che what the Picker cannot pick the same game at any point in the tournament which makes it tough you know got to be a little strategic about your picks as I know yesterday danelli picked those games at the beginning the last few matches he was just picking order at that point because you can defer and just say I just want to go last or first or whenever wherever you want to go the other thing is we have to wait for the uh the other groups to finish if it's like yesterday how many groups is it seven eight eight groups I think it's eight groups of four yeah 32 players yeah eight groups of four there are no buys yeah big brackets so they all play their game one and they all play their game two so we have to wait for uh everyone to finish their game too yeah we see we might be able to hop into a game in progress another game yeah yeah I know Ron wants to see stars there's no way stars is still going on it is on five balls on five ball which is pretty rare So when you get your usual two to three house balls you actually get to play at least two balls you get to play some pinball yep I it's the fairest Stars you could ever play Jeff had some good scores on hot dog and so I wouldn't be surprised seeing that to see some wide body action really wide Ultra wide get some inline drops inline drops hot dogging skiing fun skiing skiing mustaches you got to have mustaches oh yeah in the late 70s if you're just tuning in you're watching indisk 2023 I'm Mike Welsh I'm Ron howlet and I'm Tom grab so what games could he pick what is the game selection in here what games white might we see this stream even though I know some no one will ever pick and we will not see but I feel like we'll see some cheetah I we were going to see some cheetah people like cheetah and there was a meow with cheetah that people were using that you you'll get to see Paragon maybe Paragon oh man Paragon I'd love to see Paragon that's always exciting on stream it is games like like Surfers I've never heard of that game before I've heard of all the other like Surf City surf champ surfari which is back there I never heard of just Surfer it almost looks like it a surfer a lower case s for no reason almost like they made Surfer realized there was another game called that like oh crap put an S on it yeah but but in lower case lower case cuz they couldn't fit it in the art we got bow and arrow Abracadabra which I I I kind of like that game it is a neat game that's a great game tourament very challenging but not horribly brutal I felt like I actually could Aladdin's Castle lad's Castle I did not have good luck on that game did not play that game pool sharks that' be fun to see on stream pool sharks you might like Classics pool sharks Go With It Go With It Frontier possibly oh Frontier that got that was was a fairly floaty floaty Frontier jungle princess J princess classic that's good kill monkeys for some reason poor [Laughter] monkeys uh Cay C Ray ah if anyone watched the uh was it Expo final from two years ago two years ago last yeah last year not not even last year it was 2021 was it oh no yeah you're right it was last I'm bad with it's okay well let let it slide yeah they had a c there and it completely like didn't work and then it started to slowly start working as this as the tournament went on was the weirdest thing it was like it was like Christine that movie that repaired itself it's the machine that repairs itself they've decided to drag in Grand lizard from uh no I'm just kidding no God oh I don't mind Grand lizard it just it just it just plays too long and it's basically the upper Playfield is just taken from solar fire it's like the same thing have uh either of you had a chance to put in some cards in the open I think I put three in and I I think they were all bad I I put in quite a few and yes they weren't I can you have to really really blow up the games it's tough I mean it's very five good games of pinball are you serious consistently you can have one stinker but you better have four really good ones if you're going to have a stinker tough in the chat we have Dalton pinball talking about tap passing he's pretty good at tap passing that Dalton I love to have pass one of the cooler looking things I think we're going to see car hop again I see Carl uh Eric Stone is currently on it you can hear the flippers going okay yeah but if we're waiting for Eric Stone it could be 20 minutes could 20 minutes I'm not exaggerating in any way it literally could be 20 minutes for those who haven't seen Eric Stone if he has a game that he dominates he really dominates and that group is Eric's uh Eric that can't be right I'm looking at the wrong classic sorry you're looking at Classics one uh I'm fired could be fired if you weren't hired yeah that's true I haven't seen my okay so that group is insane it has Kaylee George Colin MacAlpine Eric Stone and Andy Bagwell holy cow they played pool sharks uh Colin took first Eric Stone second Andy first or third excuse me and Kaylee took a last and like I said currently they're on car hop and Carl is moving the rig into place we are going to see car hop again some more spinner stream is thinking my uh 20 minute prediction is wrong and it'd be more like an hour well Eric has stopped play okay Colin uh looks like Colin MacAlpine's on it and Carl's coming back over here and we'll we'll be on that in just a minute I was watching some of the the Youth Tournament from car is shaking his head shaking his head let's go to the hop let's oh God oh for our Beyond Boomer audience get some more hamburgers more Burgers they on ball one everybody oh my goodness so yes Eric Stone with 79 million he might roll this I'm looking at Carl I warned him about CarHop before we started well Carl it was either that or grand lizard so we tried to get the game out ah yeah we tried to get him to throw the game out but the four players could did not agree oh wow so did you see that yeah I I saw it was boom but he's going to get the ball back here because this game has a feature if it's going through the loop it it'll light the outlane for a ball yeah it was it was lit there wasn't it good programming good job got yeah play pball Forever yeah you could see that light there for a second that that is nice anything to extend this game longer [Laughter] right I apologize Folks at some point we're going to run out of things to say about Gara I do like the different flavored ice pops up there it's like you got Cherry hamburgers I mean who doesn't like hamburgers there was a nice alley pass there from Colin to get the ball into the left flipper just gets a single warning there yeah things I would fix with got Le I would change that warning sound because it literally sounds like you you've broken the game I think that might have been the idea all right Colin's going to go spinner oh just late I'm still amazed goly had one of the best flipper designs ever made and then they switched to this one of the worst flipper designs ever made I heard that that that was actually a John Borg design yeah supposedly it was a John Borg design [Laughter] sorry all I know is is um and we might see a trap up here no he Jon Norris who designed this game he actually I'm I'm on another podcast silver ball Chronicles and we went over got Le and he actually sent us an email saying he agrees that the fli time is horrible and he lobbied to have it change to something better a so that's the designer who didn't like it so he's going to time out the mode exasperated Mo timeout excitement Andy Bagwell laughing in the background here you go I have an idea for a feature and Travis looking on if you do some kind of pattern with the flipper you can get it to count faster so you can get through it that would be cool that would be nice I don't want this I'm just he has the hamburgers in a row though so he's probably going to shoot that yep there he goes select a feature you going to do Bullseye mine them up three points line him up he has no idea what he got no idea what he got he really lined up the hand hambers oh he did not he did not get the kick out right there yeah he confused unfortunately we call that got Le confusion nobody knows what's going on unfortunately that is pinball 32 million 33 million 79 billion that's got to be earthstone yes so did I hear that right that Carl said uh two players got the catch-up feature dur this game oh wow so that's why the scores are so up scene right now all right Kaylee George getting ready here with the classic band maneuver shirt there's a uh Johnny neonic and high stakes which has a sign band maneuver Kaye George I got to see it he called it before he did it yeah and uh pinball the lake there was uh signs on all of the games listing all the Maneuvers that were banned because of Kaye and he was taking pictures of them all yes but on joh I remember before he even shot he said like okay reveal for the first time and then he started doing it and then he broke the game kayle's just such a phenomenal player oh absolutely just still a wealth of knowledge the thing is if you look his his match play record has to be just excellent oh yeah he's one of the best match players I've ever seen he almost always ends up in at least semifinals finals of almost everything and at this point all the young kids today he's an elder Statesman of players there's that level two spinner all right heat way play for 3 million I don't think he's going to play that for a 3 million no and I guess the 3 million versus double your score is just random there some more Godly Randomness just got to pray that you get double your score if you need that trying to get the ball under control here [Music] wow unbelievable I that was kind of like I wish we had a replay of that I was like playing with it a little too much and then recovering somehow recover somebody somebody clipped that ey bro yeah someone clipped that our our director is not at his post oh that was classic I would have dreamed three different ways that whole sequence what a great s can't believe Center Post actually work I think Kaye was just bored like I'm just going to flip award back to the Spinners oh didn't quite get that Loop all right select the feature oh my God no so this is going to instantly throw it outow K score a 79 that's so wrong it didn't even do it to the the next closest person so all you have to do is go to the scoop oh yeah there's random modes there now I'm upset cuz I got that feature but it only caught me up to the person who was ahead of me not the first place person wow well we wanted the drama I think we got the drama ladies and gentlemen I give you goly well ketchup is my favorite condiment I guess the idea for those that feature was if you had had two people playing you know like a couple playing and one was way better than the other they were probably not thinking catch one could catch up to the other one that was the actual idea for that feature they probably weren't thinking a three World Championship yeah players were going to be on the game you know thing is you can't turn it off you'd have to hack the software oh well well he definitely catched up he caught up oh man and this is only ball two we could have more ketchups do you think Andy wants a ketchup I mean you got to go for it I love rip Andy's always great to watch he's very animated does something good and gives himself a high five self high five wow yep what a chill maneuver off that Center post that was awesome all right Heatwave play for double your score will he do Tris muy will he do it or will he just hold on he's going for it yes there's two four another CH over does that even work with no rubber ding ding ding six he's got to get it now after those Center posts he deserves it oh don't drink 10 seconds eight it's got to be close two more time sticking down five four good patience one last shot is that it I I think he did it no shot got to hurry 10 please please game oh he had to be he must have needed hoping too laughing about it he's he's kicking himself does it like do a weird thing when you're going through cuz it looks like it's yes long as the flipper button is down it's cycling so it Cycles very very quickly oh he's got a question mark though yeah after the heat wave the modes are relit on the saucers oh look at the back hand trch oh 1000 wow we have a catchup award and a 1,00 award and I believe the switch hits cycle whether it's the question mark or select a feature so that was a little bit of bad luck there that it was on the question spinner no quite get around no what's a dead bounce over he's going to drop catch it oh out of control was going to go to the tip all right yeah yeah I like that move there hold the flipper up post pass worked and Spinner time that big long shot kind of reminds me of that was too danger it stays up I seeing that shot there kind of reminds me like Vegas or actually there's a lot of go leaves that have that long loopy shot a little late on the man no catch up for you great effort there from Andy so close yet so far rooting for him to get that double yeah is this ball three or ball two ball two ball two ball two continues and we have Eric Stone current ifpa champion I think Eric needs to be more lit now can you get the doubler or catchup on the heat wave then uh the heat wave is just the double your score or 3 million I think those are the two options okay more Mrs a there has to go back through the loop falls into the sa play for 3 million probably not going to do that no probably not well if you need to get a soda or water this would be a good good time you have a 15 seconds ignite death Rays 15 seconds I mean speaking of game heat waves it was kind of rainy here today yeah side yeah no heat wave here yeah I thought it never rains in southern California it just never drains in southern CIA just never drains these are all fallacies well with Eric Stone playing it certainly never drains let me tell you it definitely drains all right back into normal play on the post transfer try to hit that right but Eric with a narrow lead after that those ketchups Colin definitely wants a ketchup a ketchup yeah he's gonna be aiming he might even uh start his Heat Wave on purpose to get his modes lit on the saucer to try to get that catchup and there's the Heat Wave and we'll get to a mil interestingly more than double his score at this music going to let this time [Laughter] out you know it it's not actually 10 seconds because if you count it seven six five four it's pinball seconds they're like movie seconds Colin apologizing to us not your fault yeah you didn't pick the game to apologize his saucers are lit now if he wants to try for that for a mode for a catchup catchup you can just go for the spinner oh catch up he needs a catch up you guys are making me hungry he's going for here we go let's see I want to see it I want to see it catching up to player two all right see you didn't C we just got a real match oh my goodness all right that just put Andy in a predicament the entire game is just people doing catch up over and over whoever gets the last catchup is going to win I mean I know we're joking about it but that was a smart tournament decision right there knowing that seeing that's an option and all the other players taking advantage of it I wonder if you can do it twice in one ball I mean his left saucer is still lit here was just going to say I'm thinking it if they were trying to get this thrown out while the game was going on I'm thinking after the game is over it may be thrown out it may be no says okay so Carl Carl did say it cannot be removed if they're playing well on it so so unfortunately there Colin taking it so but he did get that catch up and we have a ball three to play all right it just got more fairness it really is it's like this is playing long pull it these guys are just too good yeah all right Kaye taking off the jacket yeah he's he warm he's warm it's a heat wave yeah it sure ain't warm in here I'll tell you nice spinner shot nice tip over but a little swirly there we go gets it under control all right spinner no not just not uh oh he let it come all the way getting that drop up there yeah there it is that right shot is actually a little bit tight yeah these players make it look easy but it's tough to get it all the way around to that drop Target there it is Spinners is 200,000 the spin but not a clean rip there still lit still lit huge points play for 3 million you just hit a spinner for about 10 million so don't think he'll play this sponsored by downtown pinball League I once got to play a Sopranos that had the plunger removed thanks to kayy one of his exploits and I was in pinberry believe it or not no it was a uh Sopranos ah same deal with the Playfield validation stuff I just love how they're not true seconds at all three three three three two all rightly early got a mystery L there he doesn't need to catch up to anybody that's the problem oh yeah I just realized that I wonder if that would break the game if you pick that if he gave you as an option it takes away points what he really wants to do is roll it and then cat you up oh that would be hilarious am I wouldn't see that I hope we see that yeah might as well see that at this point I wonder if he's thinking he's got to be thinking that he could be thinking [Music] that nice ball there from Kaye cuz he would think like would that break the game that would be great man no one's entering their initials the popular AAA like the Heatwave Champion was a AA all the Champs are a The Sopranos exploit I believe it's the deal where you can what soft plunge you hit the drop Target which doesn't count as actually play file validation you can lock the ball doesn't count as play fi validation sof plunge just repeat and a player like Kaye can just do that all day do that all day so they you just remove the plunger entirely so you you hit the flippers and will launch it which will hit something that will validate the play all right what Andy wants to do here is get past Colin and then get some strategy right now he's got Heat Wave lit or he might just go for the spinner oh trap so one thing I noticed there are these hot dog inserts under the bullseye and each time you hit the bullseye it lights a hot dog and I don't really know what that does exactly maybe nothing maybe it lights it for a million if you get all three hot dogs I'm not sure 9 9 8 8 7 yeah basically every second is actually two seconds in the goly world five five four there is no grace period in got Lees world too so maybe that's their we'll make our seconds longer for you all right let's see it here we go catch up catch up catch up catch up catch up don't go past it it again the game didn't want to cooperate but he he could get the up to 10 million here as we talked about earlier I don't know if he'll go for it no oh yeah I saw that there that's interesting drop drop no Spinner's not up the middle is he going to try again mystery catchup something good CCH points right all right Andy in third place by hair right now over Colin in player three is Eric Stone trying to catch kayle's 94 million that could just be one spinner yeah really right right off the plunge we'll see stretching it out side stretch there early whoa oh nice nice use little post with no rubber on it play for 3 million yeah we've also got a nice replay section here at the uh tournament for people to practice or play some other games other people not playing in the tournament James Bond Is Here Yeah Legends of alalla here but more importantly heavy metal meltdown is here hit the flipper buttons get those sweet guitar licks metal metal all right back to our regular scheduled pinball machine oh oh he went for the saucer and he paid for it no that was so weird to see a ball go that quickly wow yeah all right Colin could catch Andy and then catch up to Eric and then catch up to Kaye you ever think the uh tournament organizers just secretly or be like please break game please please something break on it and we'll just lie we we we can't we can't Carl said secretly like a flipper bat breaks oh we we can't fix it like you don't have no oh no thankfully CarHop has he got it okay Mercy on us and wow over there he wanted to steal that one point from Andy but uh Andy is not out nice job to Kaye there getting that first place and I don't know if we'll see more carof in the future we're going to see more carop we will definitely see more I will say at least that was a little bit entertaining the catchup was entertaining do you think the market value of carop has now gone skyrocketed I don't think so pinball prices no not not like mystery castle c it's behind us yes or Hoops Hoops Hoops that did go up yeah everyone wants a Hoops you know all the uh the good ones I I well Hoops is a yeah that's a solid actually a lot of the street levels got really good playfields some of them have really bad rules like what is it one slug super Slugger Silver Slugger Silver Slugger yeah it's like all the game is just you you hit what is it they're all Mysteries but the Playfield Shoots Great rules are not the best we just need someone to make some nice custom code for some of these old games yeah there you go and get permission from got Leaf somehow they're very stingy about their rights so that's what part of the thing I like about indisk a lot is you see a lot of these games you don't really see everywhere and they really do a good job of like trying to bring in these Oddball games that you know it's a lot of fun sometimes sometimes it doesn't work out like carop and you people start to learn the exploits but it's I really appreciate getting to see these games you don't really get to see everywhere was the last time you saw what is it Street Fighter 2 back there yeah that District 8 too but but it's gone surf Safari which is running a custom ah there's the other game I thought we would see a lot of and here it is we're going to get to see The Meta I think now there's the way I usually play cheetah and then there's the way they discovered to play cheetah which is much safer which is basically you just hit the left orbit an exploit at a pinball tur continuously and and this has this special ROM that if you ever played at penberg or Papa had where the bonus collect is only lit once per ball on the left so you can't just Spam it over and over that was the original meta the original way cuz you could get like a 100K bonus and just hit the left and collect it over and over and over and over so then they Nerf that but I guess they discovered I mean when you hit the left side you'll see it when the playfields up it'll drop the targets yeah it spots you to the Target the targets on one through five and it'll just keep lighting things and it's safe the only variant on it I know some people were hitting the left and then they would hit the three bank until they could get the um multiplier up to 5x because it's carrying over as soon as we see the play field get the telestrator up there we go there's jetah so you see on the the target bank at the very top top is for your multiplier but the target the three Bank on the right if you hit it I think the second time it starts spotting multipliers oh yeah we're going to see The Meta here we go doesn't quite hit the roll over there but gets the ski jump I saw Kaye and qualifying do this for about 20 minutes straight so yep I think we're in for a ride here so did Andy pick this uh oh cuz he's first yeah would tus have defer oh Tois isn't in this group oh no yeah we're sticking with this group I'm I was confused we were following the one group now we're following the other group that's all right oh shake it shake it couldn't get it out it was rattling and that was not a tilt yeah that didn't tilt yeah tilt is very loose on this oh yes with with this collection of players yes we're going to see The Meta we're going to see this and it's not easy that that left lane is I could do it yeah it rattles and you really have to get a clean shot to get a to go over that rollover the game the way the game wants you to play it is actually to shoot those one through five Targets in order which is very dangerous or you could just hit those rollovers hit the L but these players say no we're not going to do that and there you go full TR we go and the raising the left flipper just to get that upper flipper out of the way there we go spot spot another spot from the in Lane you can just roll it bounce it over keep going oh he's trying oh wow wow still not tilt yep I mean good efforts to to try to get it out and when you see it rattling that's always good once they get into a Groove though we're going to we're going to be here a save that's the other thing these players see those attempts to save the ball I'm like wow that didn't tilt I wonder how far I can take it instantly tilts whenever hopefully the machine doesn't tip over seems like Eric's trying to do an alley pass here yeah on the feed whereas Kaye was trying to do a ski jump nice oh nice save oh there's the TT found it so you can do the wi shimmy but if you actually slide it you will tell cheetah was the I think second Stern widebody big game first one big game was the first one we got both of them here both designed by Harry Williams oh he was aiming for the drop he's going for the three the three bank that sues two two purposes it raises your uh your bonus if you complete it the second time it starts upping your multiplier especially on ball one that's important if you can get the multiplier up it's carrying over on the this game they have it set to carry over there it is so see how the X now yeah there's a little green insert that's telling you that okay this will increase your multiplier now if you complete it you can also increase your multiplier with those Targets on the top but hardly ever up there so you are seeing some variations on the strategy see he's got the 2x now he's got got 3x uhoh that will hold over so then when he starts doing the other strategy the rest are doing he'll be getting Collex at 5x if you can get it up that high that's like 500k he's got the bonus looks like maxed or near maxed already okay he's going to start going that way nice save don't tilt but see going for the bank puts you in a little more danger he's he's not quite in the control but I think he's happy with 3x so he's just going to start doing that now so now that his bonus is higher he wants to complete that 1 two 3 four five to light his bonus collect on the left and that in Lane just did it for him yep he wants to hit that left lane now and here we go oh he's got okay he wants more he didn't want to take it he wants he wants it all yeah nice a he paid for it but I I like to see that he he wanted more but that that 3x will carry over two now if you're wondering what what are those drop Targets in the upper right that's that's the grid no one is going to go for that but if you can actually get three across it will give you different Awards depending on the color I believe uh two of them light your Spinners which I I do think that carries over so it depends on the setting but being that they have the other thing carrying over they probably have set that's carry Strat wow a clean shot all the way through imagine that Strat with an endless collect if this was the stock software that the game comes with that's what you would see they would just collect over and over so if they had 5x with full bonus it would be 500k just continuously look like there's a special on the uh left out lane yeah that's worth anything but it's worth points I don't remember how many it's said like 100 100K maybe yeah I I believe 100K is right that's another one of the one two 3 four five Awards if you keep spotting these drop Target full disclosure I own the game but I'm not sure Point totals I'm not the best with that I mean who cares about the special when you can just do this all day exactly and hopefully uh the guy who came up with the software that's actually running is watching the stream and maybe can make some more modifications to Nerf this ah this is pure skill yes that it is but it still needs to be nerfed it's too nice to play feel well there was a bonus X from the top oh nice nudge great save another one staying alive back to a cradle back under control actually be better if it didn't come straight down if somehow every time you went up it went all the way out then it wouldn't be as repeatable have the uh the ball right into the top of the slingshot post had a accelerator magnet so it takes it probably wouldn't be that hard to Nerf I mean you just take away the spotting yeah spotting the drops I spotting the drops that especially like two or three on each shot that's a little bit too many yeah but Andy's DED in right now and I mean this caliber of player makes it look so easy but it's definitely not easy to repeat it so continuously like this yeah Andy's doing an awesome job here oh almost 3x some nice bumper love there was only one target for Forex on the right he's not going to go for it aing for yeah now one target that's another 100K that's a 100K Target right now nope he says nope too dangerous I'm going back over Grind it's like you hit the switch it's a Target it comes back hits it again and you hit the in Lane it's another Target now it does take some skill like there andy noticed that the ball was traveling too slow he couldn't do the ski jump so he did have to flip away so you do have to be able to read the ball coming back through the in Lane but usually it does a nice little bounce over like that I should explain the five Bank in the center there in front of it you'll see the inserts they each have different awards that you're getting one is light collect on the left there's other Awards like um actually uh bonus to to 100K one shot save actually the the three bank before that one target I kept saying for no that's not true he he hadn't completed it once yet now the x is actually lit on the three Bank on the right progress I can't wait till they go for the catchup feature oh so special it's like another 100K that'll be 300K nice I'm thinking that should be a band [Laughter] thing is I I can't really say anything bad about stuff like this cuz you know even the tournament organizers of this tournament if they saw something like that as a player they'd be all over that oh yeah oh yeah as a tournament organizer they're probably like oh no we can't do anything I it sure feels good when you're the one doing it yes it does fortunately quick ball there from Kaye he couldn't quite get the uh get in the groove get in the GR there see what Eric does here maybe in my case it's just jealousy cuz I don't have the talent level too to do the same thing over and over it's like yeah that would be fun so Eric seems to have fully switched over to the bounce Sor tuning in you're watching indis 2023 this is the classics 2 tournament uh 32 uh people in this round right now qualified for playoffs it's a uh three games we're in the third game of this one at uh each game game uh if you take first second third or fourth you uh you get uh four points for first two for second one for third and you take a zero for last oh and Eric just lost it there but the uh the players with the two highest scores will move on to the next round so we have 32 players and four person groups playing three games with those 42 one zero scoring like Tom said the top two will move on the bottom two will get some some cash I don't know how much I don't remember what it is but it'll go from what's my math here 32 and I'll be half of 32 16 and then eight then four I'm thinking yesterday it went to about 11 I'm thinking with CarHop and cheetah in play it may go longer great control by Colin here so on his first ball Colin was focusing on the bonus X let's see if he is he switching over to the uh this left shot strategy here looks like it going to get a collect there nice and this tournament will be played on a uh there's a selection of 18 different machines that could be in play high see gets Choice be there picking the game or their position in play but they can only pick the game once in the whole tournament so not per round for the whole entire tournament so they coming come some strategy in there with your picks so Andy weighing the lead here with two million points and he needs it because he needs to get a first here to keep his tournament oops alive absolutely never lucky there's some kind of math where there will be a tie and we'll get more action that's part of pinballs more pinball but Carl's shaking his head he doesn't want any more action oh he doesn't want any more action well time constraints pinball is unique in that the better the players are the longer everything takes that is correct and these are the best players in the entire world here I mean at this point where this is in dis but it's also called the ifpa the the open would this be the largest major at this point very well cuz the worlds are invitation Y and being open it's completely open anybody can attend anyone all you in chat you can well not this year but next year yeah please come please St put on your calendars I can guarantee you the same games will be here but they got five hours if they're close qualify on the open that's true that's true I I don't know why I didn't think of that nice nudge there keep that ball in play Andy is uh he's been in the best groove of all the players as far as this uh he's got this shot down maneuver he doesn't want to go home I mean it's just perfect every time and even he might be surprised how perfect this is right look at this nailing that shot when that Ball's bouncing it's not it's not trivial at all the uh the open which is the the main finals of tomorrow uh which will be streamed here live uh Andy actually qualified with his first card wow yeah that is amazing repetitive the game is allowing them to do it it's rare that pinball allows you to do anything so when they made when they made this game they were not accounting for this level of play that for sure that is correct I would say these players would be arcade establishment's uh worst nightmare they keep getting replays yes you only put a quarter in oh it's having trouble getting up to that switch oh oh almost lost it there those outlanes can be and if you do want to play in the open we are at the Riverside Convention Center in beautiful Riverside California or rainy Riverside California there still there's still time plenty of people playing but also a lot of onlookers watching on the big screen behind us and thank you for everybody joining us at home Wherever You Are remember you can uh subscribe to iie pinball uh Carl has a lot of tournament action in here he does a lot of tutorials of new games and you played a new

tppy voting is still going on couple days you could vote for I pinball for best streamer yes nice we also have the uh high stakes bank here at the tournament today the the finals will be at the end of the day tomorrow for that I think there's over $15,000 prize Pur 15,000 that's a lot of money 80 players that's a lot of money although I think you still would not be able to afford the latest James Bond 60th anniversary with that money you would still need $5,000 more Keith Elwin who is here would appreciate that appreciate it but to be fair you could buy a brand new James Bond premium that is pop yes wonder if got to wipe that sweat off chopping a lot of wood here grinding away it is hard work just concentrating on that he's got the 4X he's just making it look easy yeah I mean keeping this level of focus for so long you got to keep in mind we've been playing pinball for three days straight now long time a long time long time he doesn't like that shaking his head right in the pop good it does make me sad to see three Spinners so unused yeah not not like most Sterns there's not a classic Stern game that does not have a spinner it's almost like at this point just for variety I'd get greedy and try to get get the 5x cu the three Bank on the right will give him 5x if he can complete it these players are smarter than me and they will not do that I know Andy knows he knows who's in his group and uh all of them are capable of catching them the more points the better right oh ah there it is great game great job by Andy there even when you drain you get an extra 100K for the special wow five 56 million what was the the high I think said was 5.3 so that that was a new GC I believe great wow feature of the Sterns of this era before ball three they will show you the high score so you know what you're shooting for let's see if the other players can play Kay's been having trouble finding it so far getting in the groove he's having trouble oh oh now that's that's just a rubber from the plastic that's easy yeah I think they're just going to probably ignore that he's just yeah screw it I don't care that that won't harm anything it's just going to it's going to make it way down it'll fall fall into the uh out hole and probably and reset the game no eventually it'll fall into the coin box area probably don't worry if there's a reset we have the scores good thing Carl wasn't listening there you might have fell over nice nudge and Kay I know owns a bunch of games himself and he knows what that is oh yeah not going to damage anything we're all good Groove it's looking good now who decides if there is a tilt is there a ref there is no referee the game decides if it's there's a little tilt Bob in the mechanism in the game which this game was made in 1980 and the Tilt Bob and the brand new James Bond pretty much looks the same yeah that mechanism hasn't changed in has not changed half a century save yeah we forgot we you can wiggle this one yeah oh he just couldn't get into the groove there no it was a struggle Eric up believe Eric Stone is the defending ifp world champion he is and he's uh he's wanting some Classics and opens here as well 2020 uh main Division champion here at indisk I believe he's wearing the the ifpa world's shirt yes that has the like May of 2020 date on it or whatever it is where it didn't actually happened y wonderful pandemic ending that yes till I think it's possible we may have a three-way tie after this game that would be great would be awesome cuz I'm only on here for round one I get to stay [Laughter] longer he's just trying to get into a Groove here there we and from that uh other group we were watching uh Travis muy and Jeff tiis advance to the next round okay what did they play on for the third game they played hot doggin oh which we were guessing that tiis would pick hot dog took uh he took first and uh David Johnson took second and Travis took third so we're watching the the other wide body was it aren't the B ones a little wider yeah that each company kind of had their own widebody Dimensions Stern stern was was the least wide that's probably why their wide bodies play the fastest they're also longer they're wider and longer in a regular play field valys are just wider they're actually the same length than Godly they had multiple uhoh widths er's try and get back into control here go do the thing see that he's giving a little extra little bump yeah like boom boom there we go the group now over two million and if Eric Eric's able to catch Andy uh Andy will be officially for those just joining us you're watching cheetah we're all getting a look at the new meta new super Strat which is funny cuz this was this was the old meta oh and over a little too much little too much not what you want he pay for it yeah one time it made it all the way through what an effort from Eric Stone there and now Colin wants to avoid this tie breaker I believe yeah CU as the game lies now it would be a three-way tie so he need he needs to try to catch Eric if he can he can avoid that tie actually I was watching this today Colin was the first person I saw actually doing this and everyone after him I saw was doing it is Colin guaranteed um never mind he's got to catch Eric so I think I remember I was watching Kaye do this Strat with Colin and Colin asked is Kaye just doing this all day no it said yeah okay so then maybe Colin tried to do the same thing so you're saying it's kayle's fault again actually I saw Keith Ellen play this and he did the same thing yeah yeah like you said it's the old meta the new meta I think the only variation when Keith did it he was he was doing this part and then when it come down he went for the three bank until he got to 5x and then he just went left only like this whole Strat is just having the patience to get into the groove to begin with it's like when it doesn't go up far enough you can't get enough speed with it coming down to get the ski pass nice if you do too hard it comes all the way out oh that ball is looking sketchy for a second there too it takes out lane a lot more than you think it would if you look at the posts it just looks like it would not take the out lane it's just almost like uh you're being bored before there was such a term as being bored no he's sitting at uh 300,000 in bonus right now mhm getting close so what lights the collect bonus on that line the um the Five bank it's one of the Five bank Awards it's the four inserts in front of the Five bank okay gotcha you when you complete him the first time the thing is he had it if I remember he had it lit right at the start of the ball and took it yes so I don't think you can light it again okay on this ROM on this version of the software but also he's got the 3x too so he's at 300 you said he's at 300K right he drains so think he only has that one drop up if he wants to get 4X as well yeah but he's probably just going to well actually no that won't give it to do it again you need to get that he went for it he did drop Target Bank two times there we go so he can try to get a bonus multiplier which be 400k which would be enough but it's more dangerous so but I think he has passed ER bonus now if he doesn't tilt yeah you're right especially now he just got a multiplier off the top so if you're in this situation do you trust math you're on purpose you know not take a chance at maybe tilting or something going wrong with the game game resets something like that I'd rather rather get it just to make sure yeah but everyone always says that reminding myself not to tilt cuz a lot of times he got the 4X too so he's a he's got so Colin is safely Moving on but he does have a chance to P pass Andy Bagwell and take uh Eric on yeah it stand right now I believe it'll be a tiebreaker between Andy and Eric but we'll see Colin can keep grinding away so you're saying right now as Andy is secretly saying yeah Colin drain now you're good dra you're good there we go he's trying wow look at Andy behind him you see his reaction he's like yes don't don't punch Colin Andy [Laughter] no all right so Andy and Eric get to play a tiebreaker it's one of those things where like oh they never root against their fellow players oh believe me please rain please but Andy did the work yes he had he had the thing down better than anyone else did yeah all the players did work on that game that was just a master class and man I'd be exhausted after playing that Marathon game jeez so yeah we're moving on to we'll have a tiebreaker between uh Andy and Eric Stone I believe and I don't know if he's watching but if my buddy Scott who did the code update that's on that se if you're watching please watch that stream and fix that please who is the higher seed between Andy and Eric Stone not sure maybe we could get that info you could get that info on your phone directly in front of you if you're just tuning in uh we it it never drains in Southern California we are in our second Classics tournament playoffs um we're getting to the tiebreaker of the first round so stay tuned we'll have more pinball action for you so Eric is the 18th seed and Andy is the 31st okay and Kaylee was the number two seed and unfortunately he it's not CarHop it's not it's going to be stopped right in the middle stopped oh come on the suspense Paragon maybe no Aladdin no paragon Paragon Paragon Paragon yes yes this will be much faster high five for Paragon H my favorite B very brutal this will not take long yeah I think this is definitely one of the best Classics game games out there just a high skill ceiling very skillful play very difficult we we'll probably see some tap passing how did I forget that's the third wide B got cheetah hot dogging and Paragon Classics man all right we're going to head on over to Paragon yes yes winner of this game will advance to the quarterfinals oh they got to move the and Camera down for the score displays first and second oh first and second Duhon the incredible artwork the artist Paul Faris on top of the lion thing that's like a self-portrait so you want to uh increase your bonus here uh by hitting hitting the spinner will will increase there's a Target oh no the spinner I think the left saucer these targets which the front one is very dangerous uh this saucer roll over will increase bonus and the drops uh Dr hitting three drops down will give you 2x multiplier finishing the four 3x and then getting in that back saucer for 5x your bonus yeah this this game is so brutal that the first drop Target is pretty much useless I never understood it's just like it means nothing just to make it that much harder yeah just to get to the second one very nice can also spell Paragon by going in that saucer and this is set easier they're going in order yep which I like there's a free drop right are you going to see a tap pass nope we're sending it oh the be Slayer the nasty be Slayer that's that pop buper on the left nudge oo all right see tap tap pass here on the left let's see A's calling it he's he said he said I can't tap pass oh no now I have you sometimes can post it and then send it can you Aly pass at all or does that not work not not with the two flippers I wouldn't try it you can also do the rolling backand sometimes if you flip it back and then it rolls up and you backhand the the drops that's another technique now Eric's doing the right thing oh that's Paragon hitting that lock down bar sometimes will send it between these saucers and I've also seen people flip like crazy yes because it decreases the power so the kickout power is not as much the other thing is the bonus resets every ball unless you get to the super bonus getting at least 20K two drops can't quite get the third there two the drop that actually means something and if he gets the 20 bonus uh that actually locks in on his next ball yep there's some bonus that's called the waterfalls I believe the actual waterfall the actual waterfalls oh oh it literally did not hit anything that was amazing you can see this uh gaping hole here very dangerous area right if he doesn't get at least 65 430 we're done he will not be stays up it's tournament life on that n good What A Catch too had to do it well he sent it with the AL pass we were proven wrong yes takes a world champion to prove you wrong survives the Beast look at that drop catch with the scissor flippers yes there's a space in between the flippers you can drain in between the flippers got to love that intensity that's Eric Stone that's that little flipper up there that's what it's us mostly for is just to get the ball out of the area go and he gets he's thaning God all this after that one save Alli passes oh my goodness big points there unbelievable 25k caught up to Andy and big bonus now at this point what do you go for you get the 5x I just want to yeah spin or increase my bonus maybe go for Paragon letters you're only two [Music] [Laughter] away the inserts are cup so yes and you don't want to tilt here no that's another thing I should bring up yes yeah 20K times 5 right now so he has a bonus that's actually more than his current score final ball appear on here there's a saucer for speci you guys said you couldn't alley pass you guys were so wrong sorry never even thought of goodness I find it uh sometimes a little easier with the upper flipper to hit that spinner nice save almost at 30,000 31 now over over 150,000 bonus he's pointing at the cuup insert y I think it changed the path of the ball what a ball what a world class ball yep all from that one save so Andy's got to be thinking bonus and 5x let get those Paragon Lads and like the special five 50,000 for a special oh that was nice he will get at least one flip that is that is a victory in his name right oh no the out lane good sportsmanship by Andy what a game from Eric Stone that was a hell of a game that's only the first round that's why you gotta watch out that that little Flipper on Paragon actually flipping at anything like I was saying everybody big thanks to iie pinball for streaming today give them some follows give them some subscriptions support
