the poor without the finger could be there for a half a second oh man let's transfer it into another double Elway chicks a way into a double catapult super what are we eating here with all of this [Music]

I watch it out there all right you got it Clark is it Clark Clark got it first a oh [ __ ] what what just happened so welcome to our key at Expo 5.0 Spring Classics finals he's called the Angelo okay we're gonna we're gonna follow my group since I don't have many people who are commenting right now you want to come today Jean no yes yeah you have a vibe you want to commentate this first round Jean is a little uh it's good okay so we're gonna watch the tag team and I'll be coming back to change it around I'll come and change everything so you don't have to just watch the chat Jay's coming on the mic now Jay Collins everybody director for this you can the draw on this screen its gate button Oh get rid of it yep and that's it cool all right it looks like we're gonna play tag team Karl had a great game on in qualifying so hopefully this will be a master class I used to own this game so I know pretty well if I can describe to you the rules pretty cool game kicks out ball ox that's great Turner play but main strategy is to let your locks tag lights the upper left lock up here team bank here will light the lower light rock lower right lock down they're locking both balls lights the shot here to start multi ball and multi ball all play field scores are tripled best thing to do a multi ball is probably get this in Lane spinner lit here this switch lights the spinner here I like just Karl won't win fourth there if it wasn't lit but triple scoring lit spinner is worth thirty thousand a spin if I remember correctly so it's huge it's like a jackpot shot really cool rules if you like the locks and drain with a ball lock it actually ejects the drains but if you drain out the left right here out the lit lane there it actually is a ball safe so you'll kick out your ball lock and you get to keep playing but you have to relight the lock so that's pretty much tag-team a nutshell extra bottles worth 500 right now going through this Lane up here enough times will light the extra ball for 5 mins and I think special when you complete the top lanes here five or six times four four four times maybe is also worth 500 thousands and there you go that's tag-team so let's see how far we can do let's spin her there you missed it a little early I got a few there and then the nails it right after it goes out but yeah this is a just a really fun game like you know I guess we say what you want about the theme I don't think everybody loves it but I sure love playing this game

    • 3:55
    so Carl completing some lanes right now needs to get that lower right lock it looks like another thing you do have to knock down all those drops in order so yeah it kept it catches lots in there and I say to keep it out of that Lane oh and then makes the reaction shot into the lock that's that's really really awesome so Carl's Carl's ready to light up here if he can get this lock shot here that's here we go multi ball 3x and the GI changes to read a really good dick there so this isn't kind of interesting situation you really want to get that the spinner lit but he's gonna just kind of go for the multi ball lanes they're on there and he just backhanded it right out and that's the dangerous re it's so tempting to kind of flip that up when you have to cradled over there and and get that spinner shot but yeah so you know all the way back around every once in a while you can let it bounce there and you might be able to say it was a left flipper but it's a decent ball it's a good start wanted to do more on multi ball I imagine but it could do worse okay all right Carl's hopping back on here
    5:27
    yeah that was a I saw you look at me did you just get tempted into trying to kind of do that you know backhand with the two ball cradle yeah that spinner yeah yep yep yep so risky but you know it's it's such a big carry that's hard to see exactly so it's uh yeah I was just talking about how that can happen every once in a while you can get a bounce off the apron and because it's just so close to the flippers down there and get one back with the left but all right looks like I had a tissue so jump off go ahead
    6:11
    all right stepping up Cory done Cory the B division winners from indice from 2018 I believe
    6:27
    it's a quick multiplier multiplier off the three lanes let's see if he works for tag or for team I'm assuming tag they can sometimes glance the ball off the tee and team - unfortunately hits the e so you're gonna have to knock down all the other drop targets down there before team is available Aztec has been eliminated from the tournament the plastic is broken unfortunately that was gonna be my next mission out of game now all right Cory continues it looks like you got the targets back up for team so you can start working on e again I am tagged up there and I just need the G to light the upper-left ball long the good thing about getting the ball blocks is they give you a ball save if you go over the left of theirs to save lights right here if you have ball lock then you roll over the lit one it will actually eject the lock ball oh that looked like a little fumble there from Cory but it'll yes that's right Cory was second in this class this one this is past year the lit lane over there will release that lock ball so it's a good ball safe that's why you really want to go for the tag lock first lock that ball in the upper left just in case you drain out that left out lane that you have a 50/50 chance of actually retrieving they've all escaped you know with the when you look at this game you think like I could I could play this game forever there's just only one out lane and it's doesn't look that big and the flipper gap doesn't look that big and yet it could be pretty draining yeah anything that goes out to that left it seems like I almost always goes out you know so yeah that's a great design the first time you shoot over there is typically when you have that multi-ball lid you know so ball to here and Karl probably it wasn't like too too thrilled with that necessarily but he's still in first and doubled up on the next highest score so a little walk progress
    9:32
    there's that upper left lock now you definitely want to get in there oh good save Oh another great reaction shot
    9:50
    yesterday main three games around four two one zero we are only choosing a game once so if you pick a game you can't cheat it again of course you could always play it again somebody else uses it in two styles
    10:18
    oh nice nudge and right down the middle it almost got a bag off the apron and there goes that lock you get to keep that lock lit so you know even that kicks it out you will get to reshoot that lock when your next ball starts you know so you don't you don't lose the progress towards locks but you do lose your lock ball so there's no lock stealing this game you know which is I think this is 85 and I had too many I don't think this may be the first game that really kind of had had a you know multi ball where you locked balls and it kicked him out of the lock so that when next player wasn't able to use them and you think of another game that did that like 85-inch I can't really yeah so you know Soren doesn't need to mod this one
    11:19
    you talk about the special or extra ball at all I did mention yeah I did mention the extra ball on the lane oh and yeah didn't have a lot like anyway so yeah it's so important to get that role under you get those right lay this Lane right right that yeah and get the right two lane at the bottom too to light it but you can't light the next one yes I collected yes I'm three of them I definitely did explain that so she's going through here and then up through here is what lets you collect correct right okay awesome cuz extra ball is five hundred thousand yes specials are five hundred thousand also yeah and that's cut by completing the top lanes right to five x right I think it was five not five X but the next one after 500 go if you've lit 5 X the next completion light special I believe and it actually alternates between here and then one of the one of the lanes right with the bumpers or anything just yet right exactly yes which it's causes it to just switch around all right Corey's trying to get his block on the right I believe yeah you definitely want so you got both lit now oh yeah great bounce there you can do some interesting stuff with that upper left flipper in that ball lock I actually I'll hold the flipper up and like shoot it backhand it yeah around that post there a lot and I've seen balls go you get from a cradle you could actually kind of almost quick flip it and you know from the crooked it'll it actually just roll straight up into that that thing there so it's another way that way to do it that's it doesn't have a very often but it's great shot there from Corey so it's got his two balls now don't want to get that multi ball going all right now he actually got to get the dangerous shot which is alright you missed it and it's going out that left Outland most of the time already a ball there I didn't work don't be tempted to backhand it
    13:15
    Allie pass post pass I'm not sure hit the it every balls work there yeah all right whoo I didn't have luck always letting the ball just fall off the upper clipper yeah it will sometimes get out of the middle I need some pace yeah go ahead in the wrong way in the wrong lane boo boo thanks for the bits
    13:45
    so you know is there's Carl's got a nicely but this pretty close game if somebody gets multi ball going they could you know they could really come back here so Jacqueline is definitely not out of it you know even with twenty to twenty five thousand right now our communities our house nice nudge get back to the left flipper
    14:20
    all right there's his first role understand now that right right in Lane well I'm Pokemon continent nice well uh yeah like the next one it just missed that a there it gets going it gets both of me a great shot great take there
    14:45
    Jacque has really come on I mean you know he started playing two or three years ago and he's uh his skills have just blown up in the last year or two I'd say all right Duncan has now lift the that second roll under award there
    15:25
    and it's not on timer I don't believe it's know ya need to light it oh there's been a nice winter here great shot it doesn't look that spinner shot doesn't look as tough as it is and he just collected is rolling there two sorries yeah it's looking good right now one away it's on the extra ball yeah or the point two ordered extra polished sing that's when I started getting tempted to Ally the Bodleian on the right I know it but it can go up and over and all the way around the lights also dangerous oh
    16:00
    nice nice rainbow into there but yeah and then it's up on the other flipper so mercy the timer and it's out so he's not going for his a it looks like unless he's just no he's not I think he's trying to get the roll under but maybe he doesn't not really sure that how the rule works there maybe and you know pay for that all right but great ball by doctor you just put himself right back in the game in second place now after two balls yeah I think it's got to be happy with that
    16:52
    [Applause] l RTO lotr brett poops does kick out locks hoops this game is about five years older than hoops but is an amazing game as well
    17:22
    there may be others but you know as I'm thinking I think this this might be one of the first games to kick out Locke so we're really not sure it's just kind of a little bit of a guess that was a Karl just did a you know he just shots that that right looking for that extra ball shot and gets his 500000 I was just wonderful play there as you would expect from Carl D'Angelo I'm actually not sure about Bear Cora that's not a game I have a whole lot of familiarity with unfortunately that's great he put a little spin on it and lost control that nice little tip and great shot
    18:26
    yeah you can't let this draw it's tempting that almost like that drop and you know maybe get it down the flipper but see that that probably would work there oh but he gets it back so he's got to make progress now again on that tag lock but you know that's the that's the one you probably want to be trying to make progress on you're gonna get him get one oh this is close yeah it's left foot versus a backhand that G but he missed the missed the G there put the G down when he collected the oh I'm not sure but he means to hit the G reset the bank to collect the G and then it gets both there's the a and almost got the come on now G there's a G now we relate the lock so good going for that again wanna let that pass ever was I was quite gonna make it had the same quick blip
    19:27
    right both locks back again multi-ball left shot Oh way le there Oh tough break but you know 2.3 million plus is whatever bonus we got here probably you know 50,000 100,000 or so not a lot of bonus in this game that's one thing it's pretty much you know compared to the points to get elsewhere a bonus is pretty much enough in this game I mean it's better than it's better than nothing but not a lot better all right so player 2 and player
    20:37
    2 is gonna finish last Cory's got oh we've got a big road ahead but definitely pull this off a couple of walks when he does - yeah
    20:59
    when I say it's a hard decision how to get the ball from up there to down below yeah it is I noticed I you look like you tried to kind of roll it up to get some momentum on it maybe is that the purpose yeah yeah that's smart I think that's you know yeah that's a great option if the ball has momentum usually it'll roll right over the right flipper for a pretty easy bounce over most of the time I mean you know who's always risks pinball after all
    21:41
    all right so Cory finishes in third yep so it's all up to Jacqueline right now I mean you'll take it second place with one ball to possibly get the extra two points you know oh yeah yep all right so there we go all right so just need the scores yeah I'll be right all right all right Game two I'm going to be choosing warlock so we'll see that game three was going to be as tech or Game two but now Aztec is permanently idly tournament which really I guess one of the plastic lanes at the ball died broke so wait till these scores get input so let's see
    22:41
    to the first group for the secondary motion saying hello no one okay there we go so Doodlebug Matt young took it for points Bob second with two points Mike well third with one point and they're getting the Sarah thanks everyone for watching you're watching the Spring Classics here at Arcade Expo 5.0 and we have people realizing they're on camera and know all right so let me go move the I will go move the camera rig and be right back
    24:34
    alright switching over to warlock again a common thing light until probably the second round thanks everyone for watching and away we go
    25:45
    yeah this warlock has set up a little easier than there wasn't in desc we did put supposed to overs back in the aliens still playing tough though for sure no doubt about it I'm not extremely familiar with this game I do know that the drop banks will spot lit spinners so I think the center Bank yes lights the spinner over here the the lower left bank lights the left spinner and the upper bank writes the upper right spinner shooting the left orbit advances the value but it is nasty feed you get a screamer back doing that so the car looks like he's just going for a rip spinner strategy which is you know probably the best strategy on this game given how it's playing nice little nudge to make sure you got the end lane there
    26:49
    it's car lines with 224 it's solid score and desk so what's uh what's your basic strategy on this I'm not extremely familiar with the the rules on this game I mean I like the left orbit yeah for the 20 40 70 value I like having my spinner lit also for it okay I get more value um so like the light the left spinner and then just try and try and rip that as much as possible I yes but it can be draining yeah the other way about it is build your multipliers and I still like to do that also because they carry over ball the ball and then she drops multipliers on lanes yeah okay pretty straightforward
    27:34
    it's it's sometimes it's going down the middle and is it most times it's not tilts not too tight so hopefully you know guys that air taxi turn there's not that's frustrating I got warning off the the save I did did you maybe pretty good yep apparently Luke I think so you uh took the Bob well take the Bob off but that is not the case unless it fell off which you know no I didn't even happen but I think I think it's I think it's still in there it's there ya know mark has a good had a good ball to 1:45 cool so do you know what the qualifying scores like on this game I did not play it I was uh I was like 1.2 million oh wow ok so that's pretty good that was gram see if I didn't pull up anything else here
    28:32
    warlock second place was Derek with 1.2 third tile 905 hiding 896 nice job Heidi and then they just kind of go down the for hi for hundreds of mid-range tough break back player one
    29:22
    great right spinner shot there that's a tough shot it's a long longest shot in the game there so you get some good value for it it's been it works pretty well
    29:46
    her dragon fists make it some tilt sounds there that wasn't a warlock if anybody was wondering oh hi speed Ripken spinner to follow it up
    30:20
    girls really dialed in on that right spinning right now so good for ham
    30:39
    you almost kind of prefer that weak shot there because you don't get that screamer feed so that kind of you know half sleep miss works out but it's good ball he's a 750 right now so
    31:01
    a little hard to tell but that is that 750 yeah it's so good that right spinner is a little more juice than I remember so yeah yes and when you got that Lane feet with some speed on it seemed like it really went Marx kind of fighting it right now I think good player obviously to get this position
    31:57
    great spinner shot but wasn't Lin unfortunately all right decision time go for drop to go for that orbit Thank You girls a bank you got nothing lit right now so you want to you know you're not trying to finish third so especially after taking a third in the previous game you know you got to go for the win here I think so
    32:27
    it's hit drop time just right off the inside between the post those are hard because you know you've the right place probably actually moved the post into the ball but you always want to kind of try and nudge it into the flipper you know right now yeah yeah you're absolutely right there yeah for those that don't know this game is basically the same klamath blackout yeah identical I think nearly is there something different well the I know the lane guides are different for one okay these are very more Stern this game has a very stern feel to it but it does yeah yeah the three yeah the 3 spinners and lots of drops I absolutely agree with that it's also the way the game flows I feel mm-hmm yeah can't argue with that center bank goes that's that's a killer blackout does have slightly different rules for the friend that has a blackout I played before I know they're a little different but uh okay
    33:34
    Zach AJ designed by former stern designer did not know that that certainly explains a lot
    33:54
    but you know that there's something that happens a slight extra ball based on the I think a little bit like meteor as well if I might if I'm not mistaken that was a big move I'm not sure if there was a warning there I couldn't hear can't hear the game very well in the stream but
    34:14
    you know I think like kind of like the Wow if you get three in a row at any time it lights the extra fall and then they collected on the drop so maybe just the upper drop bank not entirely sure but it does have the bonus ladder
    34:43
    so Carl do you know how to multiplayer that the multi ball the extra ball rule works in this game I believe it's a little bit like meteor wow where if you line up the bonus ladder on the I honestly don't okay that makes sense though I'm not I'm just not entirely sure how its collected some of the chat knows or maybe uh grants around throughout my video Jim explained it to me once and my mind is a sieve that's why I like classics come on you can put that out you can get that out oh I think you tried yeah fine it didn't tell amazing maybe the table did fall yeah two warnings yeah
    35:30
    valiant effort I mean well he's in second place right now currently second and fifty and then we look like a 5130 something maybe yeah hard to say oh yeah 51:58 I can actually see if I can ever so yeah definitely better for mark there after the first game so he's not out of it I mean you know six points could still avance for sure I get you in a tiebreaker to advance to see how Corey and Rocklin do nice yeah right down the center so
    36:23
    all right trouble oh nice any any kind of shaking you can do well it's maybe up in that right arch to slow it down or like nothing to slow down no you can try and project the you know just the angle it's gonna come down that yeah well it's gonna bounce off the wall enough to go to what slipper hang on all right he's got that right spinner so he's not gonna catch second one by sixty one Cory can do right now looks like his third finishes 161 130 well this could be interesting if jock didn't takes last it'll be eight to two - all right so yeah so three players for the last shot spot Oh yep and there we go that's what happens it happens so three-way tie breaker essentially all right let me go put some scores in here and all right I'm playing on the I reckon yeah we definitely still have some games going on all right I'm gonna move the cameras here
    37:33
    give you some more sponsorship captain's auction and Orange County pinball is coming up
    37:46
    oh wait no dragon this is over so we will get to move on and I'm gonna get to pick a game you know what am I gonna pick so the other rule in this tournament is you can only pick the game once for the entire final I probably won't ever get to pick a game again though so looking down the line here what I want to pick what do I want to practice on
    38:24
    dolly dolly I had enough practice on that until he is mean cuz I don't think that let's see who's the top seeds that's I'm not gonna bomb and be a David J granted gene humbly David isn't microwave David and gene
    39:05
    he made a lecture inspection the guy that made the warlock made Electra and spectrum huh that's that's fascinating
    39:29
    how's everyone doing today having a good Saturday while st. Patrick's Day you'll be doing anything special
    39:53
    all right I'm trying to pick between free-falling wildfire all right cool yeah I'm thinking wildfire possibly
    40:28
    these mics are so I think you can hear everybody talking oh I should probably turn that one down all right we're still waiting for this I can't really move the cameras right now so unfortunate weird this is the downside to the mobile rate is I can't just switch over to game its own instant partners have to wait between balls between games in some cases I could defer game choice you're right Steve I could I could who would give it to them
    41:09
    cuz yeah I can only pick the game once for finals and I won't get to it
    41:33
    it's not yes that's that cookie oh all right yeah what haven't you seen what happened that we seen we haven't seen wildfire on camera halfway I don't know if anybody's gonna pick wildfire Harley let's see what else do we have heiresses but I'm not gonna the guy says no no way no way I think I'm gonna pick wildfire yeah yeah I'm gonna go move the camera right now I'll be back
    43:54
    Jays looking for groups trying to get on something here alright I'll get it started we are good to go
    45:24
    all right mark unfortunately said right before we played that he has never played this game so this is a poor choice for him oh hey well there's not much to the game really you want to light your double bonus the last ball you want to try and get the 5x if if you get lucky with it right and drain at the right time to get 5x bonus would you yeah I know I mean II know I always want my ball yeah i ball is worth more than then bonus generally my opinion oh nice dig that was great great safe those interested the second group in a has chosen to play tag team so and they're in a 5 4 3 2 situation so some interesting possibilities there so we will probably get to go to thing after this zoom I guess yeah that should take a little longer
    46:22
    but I've seen some long games on this one today I you know I've seen some really short ones obviously but you talk about the interesting to the weird spinner role no I did not yes so the spinner is lit in this game for a thousand spin slit right now I see the light right here based on what the bonuses so when your bonus is a multiple of I think four I think it's 0 4 8 12 16 20 you have or it's like two six it's something like that so it goes on and off based on how much about a so if he dances above us the spinners gonna go out please max out so okay so your max out spinner stays lit but yeah by twos slightly so even all the I think all the bonus advances are even so it's like every other okay something like that right so you know we started to it's lit the advanced a for it's not you moved the six it's lit you advanced eight it's not something like that super strange nice ball by Mark though yeah sure for yeah
    47:32
    yeah I mean so you know what these three here I'm sure you all you mentioned it but when it winner here is gonna advance so of the mark query and jock didn't
    47:49
    nice spinner shot from Cory I think the spin and spinners pretty juicy and then can be pretty valuable on this game you can actually avoid advancing your bonus to much more points on the spinners actually but uh the easier said than done for sure so now he's out as it yeah
    48:13
    shocked him with the old hi mom there Stockton was very happy with Cherise apparently he was the top qualifier awesome two eight fourteen and twenty there you go lotr breath thanks for the info I knew is something weird they're like multiples of four is but it looks like it's uh I don't even know what that's yeah I can't even do any math on that I can't generally do a lot of math anyway okay - and then every six every six okay there you go sure and whatever I do enjoy the layout of this game I think it's fun now this sounds just aren't about sounds are whole sorry nothing
    49:04
    alright so Carl's back up hey he isn't really factoring this game too much you know only gonna be out of the three down here I need to get the points so and let's mark Gilmore in the driver's seat so after a tough game on a tag team he's pulled it back together good to see
    49:30
    that's a bonus collect saucer there it resets so when you collect it you you know you have to start building it again but definitely definitely worth worth getting it in there if you can it's hard to shoot directly a pretty much a nudging it up a pop up ER
    49:56
    so it looked like once I you know the bonus goes back to 2000 when you collect yes like right but needs you've gone over 2000 you haven't hit the magic numbers I'll call them that and you collect your bonus it does not like the spinner interesting so you'd have to get back up to eight I assumed okay boy yeah I like this quick-draw bottom yeah you get some you had some weird bounces you definitely a lot of nuts a very nudge II you know bottom and personally I just love games that require a lot of a lot of nudging but yeah it's different yeah I like different so mark you know he's he's bummed about that drain but to 30 to 35 is great score you know I mean in qualifying when you can beat on the game for a while you probably probably expect to do a little better than that but here in a Finals game it's nothing to sneeze at for sure so and we're only on ball 2
    51:14
    we're back with our spinner lid no no that was a while that wild yeah I think the F at light is out on that Bank - I couldn't get that working before the tournament so we got we're gonna bulb out but oh nice save good now did you get it back there
    51:35
    alright spinners lit again till we get some more bonus no bonus
    51:48
    that right lane I was having a hard time with today the three arrows that go up yeah making the shot is that yeah making a shot yeah yeah I didn't really know if it was valuable or not because you like to double bonus on the drop targets anyway so you know yeah I think that's one of those you know I need a place to park a ball it's safe so you maybe go for that when you know you know you don't want to try doing something funky like tapping or you know just to put it on the right you might not have a spinner lit so oh no oh oh boy bummer he just nudged that out himself I think yeah I think so too yeah because it was gonna go down one of them I feel a little bit there so yep up to 126 I made up some ground I think but uh so gonna have to come from behind that nice play by jocked in there
    52:54
    Oh tough drain so Joktan gets a gets a weird bounce out here off of this thing and then just kind of straight over the post there you wouldn't even think that would necessarily make it that way but the most funny sometimes your than anticipated that I think it's actually a pretty good play there to to just try and draw a backhanded into that Bank when you got nothing nothing much else to shoot for it's collect a little bonus does not relate the spinner look at that weird rules as you go out there
    53:38
    it changes named a weird fire we definitely caught the the collective bonus go back to 2000 do not relate spinner yep do not pass I think Luka probably ever gonna I don't want it
    54:06
    so marks in the driver seat here and makes it yeah nice nice nudge on the left out lane to keep in play definitely oh that's okay look like it might be a for the middle yeah there we go off that right sling so it looks like the game has no slings but actually there are slings here and here which is a little different too so they're very drainie this one seems to if it comes down from the top yeah yeah yeah I got a fun design just some quirky rules maybe
    54:45
    and definitely is it not the best sounds but we'll forgive them nice drop catch yes indeed
    54:55
    korie's another player is you know he's been playing around here in SoCal for a long time but behind bi you know I've know I've been playing with him for at least six or seven years at least and his flipper skills have really improved in the last two or three years from when I remember first playing with him yeah yeah I have to agree and you know he's always been a good he was always a good modern player but yeah and his performance in in this year certainly uh was exceptional in classics and believe did he qualify in modern and then this this year I don't remember I remember know that day's a big blur to me so hectic I know it really was at Corey's one of those guys that he traveled more he'd be yeah he'd be rising the ranks yeah sure yeah no doubt about it and he's an awesome dude yeah
    56:07
    yeah love there yeah I probably could have had that one he was gonna wish you had that back but you know weird that weird design of the bottom it catches you out sometimes that's what it's designed to be all right jack them kind of killed the time right now what the heck the crowd going over here is that would you check the net me yeah no I was was laughing at press action button to cancel Club yeah yeah yeah I don't want it Center bottom we need a center button on wildfire no bonus collect monster style I don't want it keep my spinner lit I'm talking about the game right yeah tough break sorry okay so go get some scores in this guy looks like Mark's gonna Vance
    58:02
    all right we are going back to tag-team to watch the second a group
    58:14
    save Derek with two points about with for my foot five of Bob with three
    58:22
    they're accepted a bit of rough ball looks like we have a bit of our fault Matt stepping up with the nine hundred eighty-four thousand and one lakh ready to go he needs tag at the top to light his second lock and they get his multi ball he has no multipliers right now so he's nowhere closer to getting the knuckles get Lee special all right TIG
    58:56
    and that tea light went out there too so I can't tell where the progress is that right it's got all the uh got it lit so hey did ya both walked her lit he's gonna sure to put the upper left if he's got the ball in the right flipper good little nods there to get it but settle down almost oh gosh and then just not that post I think that's the right play though I just had a little too much momentum to get it you know to get it around the around the little divider there with the stand-up target and up into that lock area right
    59:37
    so Mike's coming up here he really is really in a hole right now but you know again you can put up a lot of points in this game in one ball so he has one lakh he's got the dangerous ones to light oh wait no he doesn't know yeah you're right oh there's the trough save if you're if you're quick and you're paying attention you know you'll get a few of those I I seem to never get those but you know I'm always trying to save everything so you have to almost let it let it die on purpose and then you can you can kind of get it back all right he just reset as a Oh bummer so saying the the role under is such a crucial part of the game that you need to be shooting that shot yeah I mean if you get it through that you know you get that light if you get a ball that comes to that right lane call in Lane there's the right lane there and you don't have a lock lit I mean you definitely want to be trying to park it into that roll in there because there's nothing else to really shoot for you don't want to take a full-speed shot at a drop target Bank you know right well the other reason is because you any ball that comes down here is wasted unless you've shot that Rose already really really good stay there Oh another one and this one's very going down oh and uh okay it's off five the sling yeah
    61:08
    yeah I agree with Ruthie Carl it's the role under shots important to either you forget about though because you know you're focused on ball ox and the big point so Bob is definitely the driver's seat here he's just trying to you know he had pad and and he'll you know advance easily if he keeps us going oh yeah there's your spinner shot yes miss still have a shot and there we go kills it 10k spins oh nice sneaking to the roll under and that was that I mean that spinner was worth you know probably three hundred thousand points sounds
    61:45
    again another reason where I think this is you know really great game design is he it's you can't really just shots and hit spinners on this one you know I stood there's another one where you know spinner is just way more valuable anything else in the game but you can't constantly sit up okay you can't just you can't just like kind of just do that over and over again it doesn't let you do that so I might pull that off a couple times but alright he just looked special which is gonna there is there's 5,000 now Bob a three-point to any all right desk good to let that go walk away but Bob looks like he's punching his chicken right there yeah extra I agree I think that's probably safe for at least a second place
    62:37
    I'm probably first all right Derek stepping up obviously Derek's an amazing player so yeah he could blow by this with a great run at stereo circuit and the heads up challenge and you know another player that's you know start playing a couple years ago regularly and it's just you know just taken off he really is just picked it up and run with it the skills of impressed the hell out of me watching how fast he's been able to improve yes yes and I I had a feeling last year with the Houston playing lights out and knew he was gonna be coming up yep very quickly he's dedicated he's completely dedicated to learn and everything and I mean you just see in his eyes right here how's he standing this game like let's see now that's how he's how he's doing he's just focused concentrating and the first time ever playing with Derek is uh he just was I could just tell that he was he was just watching he was like hawk and me was just picking up like little details and and now he's better than me so good for him alright well he's got both locks lit now let's see if you can actually get these all right upper left yeah a great shot yeah thanks for the bit spin Stadium
    64:03
    all right so now my challenge is getting a ball on that lower left flipper to shoot into the lawn you got to exponents when he gets the 5x that's when the special gets lit so he's going to three more completions oh that could be dangerous yeah that's oh that's a good place to park it if you can do it yep oh great save all right it doesn't go for the oh he's got the one with a lock okay yeah he's got the lock ready to go so taking that over the second roll oh oh and just missed popping in there oh no oh I would like to see him just trap up there and take a second I think Oh swing bounce it got and plugged it all right now the hard shot I actually think I think the right lock is harder you do yeah I do it just seems like it just rattles out so easily I'm gotta get it just right all right the right to say for those the left is it is definitely safe yeah you miss Ted but yeah it missed
    65:39
    all right we're we're back at the bottom of the mountain so now and now it's it's it's roll under yeah get that extra ball get the special in the antenna slit and he's going he's going he knows he's going for it so Derek definitely knows the rules here cuz that's a million points right there yep totally agree he's up to 4x now so he only needs one more yep
    66:07
    so standard spinners worth a thousand lit spinners worth ten thousand and multi ball it's thirty thousand so even a thousand to spend its points you know it's not it's almost 1:1 normal spins almost as much as all your whole bonus this the bonus is so funny it's like put all these points in this game and then a bonus isn't worth anything
    66:32
    is there a link to standings standings are at never drains calm /ae 2019 there's a special for 500,000 awesome let's put Derek right back in the game it does alright and I had a feeling oh oh you just pass up a shot to it he's focused he's gonna try and get the G right now I think to get that second ball walk or get the first ball walk so he has that safety net sure think that's yeah it's not about strategy all right there's a little under so one more lane to the plus so what's he gonna do the G is the safe well the shoot up to the left to the scoop and then hit the G with the upper left flipper yeah it's a safe shot from here needs to win though so you know I think in my position I think I'm going for the e right here and he goes for an outlet roll Endura it's not see bonus quick starting to pop up on these on the upper left yeah you can collect your bonus actually it's on the left on the third lock shot right now what's not worth yeah it's I mean that's know if you get it in there you're happy to have it for sure but yeah it's the points wise it's I think the max bonus is twenty five thousand times five so 125 I mean you know it's definitely something but he needs he needs more than that right now that should be able to bump over and then alright
    68:11
    all right yeah very good he's good he's got this and the gang yeah and the collect so let's see it doesn't collect it multiplying Oh interesting yeah that's horrible those were like oh yeah absolutely the whole bonus rules in this game that this they're just nonsense but again that's you know you kind of wish they were better I guess but you know everything else is so fun and cool that I don't know who cares you just kind of ignore it it still presents you a lot a lot of choices you know when you you're sitting down there on the ball and one flip or the other so that's what you really want in game design like this oh boy another good save
    68:55
    oh he's got the right one it's exactly that's why you do that yep all right I mean for me I may take the chance to alley pass it so I was sort of five hundred thousand yeah that's yeah although he doesn't he'd first you're right yeah you really are a thousand helps though he's you know he's got a hope he's got a beat Bob here and then hope that Bob you know doesn't have a good ball three to so true he definitely needs he's a lot of points multi balls the way he's gonna get couple spinners in multi ball and you know he's gonna get there but it's unfortunate that the lanes really don't do much now they're they're ten thousand oh no no he was going for it but it was a no and just misses just goes out last second there alright the G yeah I'll be going for the G right now I agree you can backhand it up there it's you know quick little flip is right yeah it almost always hits that G it's harder to hit the T in the a up there that off the backhand
    70:10
    so oh oh that's oh that's a good roll under for him they lit lights it would like this mean actually take a shot at it there you know Derek knows better than I do so that was unfortunately the wrong target to hit down there yeah he's got to complete the whole Bank now to be able to collect the M alright back to G nope he does not want to back on that so these are just 10,000 points for completing a the lanes just mom he did take a shot at the extra ball there oh just misses all you have to do is trip that little there's a little wire gate there you just have to trip that little switch there and you can collect it doesn't have to make it all the way around he's just missed getting it up in there alright good actually that's good I've actually seen somebody backhand that before you can yeah you can back Envia the from the upper flipper there yeah yeah not easy probably not not something he's gonna try here but it trouble alright
    71:26
    great ball but yeah great ball all right Derek coming from almost nothing the 2.2 million on ball three there really showed you what kind of player he is that's for sure
    71:51
    all right Matt young magic map stoking up Matt from San Diego DISA playing a lot of events but he usually does pretty well he does
    72:13
    also needs to catch Bob here and I know he knows this game really well too as I believe he had a really maybe he was a high score six point seven million I think maybe was Matt for my qualifier on on tech team I think it was a David was anything over right at the end without that's yeah and there you go alright some that may help that may actually help Mike because what happens is if Mike does not take it might gets last that's gonna get one point and we'll have a tiebreaker here okay so Mike Mike needs a point here it might need to put into tiebreaker with Bob winning Mike needs a point to just advance about right okay no points possibly a tiebreaker okay so he's looking at a man needs a million points in this ball here to get past Matt almost exactly going for that role under you might have been actually go off the role under there oh
    73:20
    my god that is o and just that is one risky play paid off that time but is that cut so yeah great yeah I mean great great play I mean that there's you know that's kind of we mentioned that before like it's you can't really just you know Ally pass or chatelaine they're hoping to light that spinner you might you might pull it off but really try it again that's the question yeah really try it again I mean like you know he's picked up picked up most 500000 points and he just missed getting a lit I'm loving this though this is this is just great like you know going for it play got a lock you got a locker so that's I mean that's huge - because then I just parked essentially you know as ball safe possibly a possible ball save in the left out lane
    74:25
    oh no and there's no bonus here so that's not gonna do it so it looks like I probably have a time yeah we're gonna have time for a girl who's ago we're gonna be between Matt and Mike Matt and Matt young and Mike Welsh almost the whole San Diego group here except for Bob and we're gonna get so let's go put some scores in right yeah that was some gutsy play there by Mike and almost paid off Lee I agree lock a ball first if you're gonna do that so you have that this little safe to me that even though it's not guaranteed at least gives you a little something
    75:09
    all right we'd like to thank our sponsors captains auction warehouse they provided a generous 500 odd gift certificate for the winner of the 8th division and we'd also like to recognize orange county pinball's also for supplying prizes gift certificates as well for a 1st to 4th place thank you to both of our sponsors along with all the other prizes that were donated and raffled off throughout the tournament from various people dirty Donnie pinball star Golden State Festival and more thank you all
    75:54
    all right let's see what tiebreaker we're gonna have here I think Karl for being Carl thanks laziest all right let's uh I could put the tourney camera on but I know people in the shot don't want to be in the shot watch the reactions no I will I'll be nice
    76:48
    well who's ever on the top yeah head do it you want to laziest want to see driving fox oh yeah oh wait I got a moving camera once they pick a game I'll be back
    78:42
    for a database fun okay but we'll get the scene going here and I'll work on that while uh we're not gonna have the groups here let's see so we're a tiebreaker between Matt and Mike wells Mike is first Matt a second and I have issues my software so I've gotta take care of that first time I'm running on a new a new system here and this server and the sequel database is not set up how I expected you set up it's gonna be a little line of commentary I apologize
    79:36
    [Music] I'm having to manage it that's the first time I'm doing it so that's why it's a
    79:56
    this tournament is my test for the Rhenish system here it's like a strict sequel motive to turn off how do I turn off the strict sequel mode
    81:28
    they're really sensitive okay it looks like it's a it worked I I put it in
    81:42
    it was just a strict super mode all right perfect there we go all right let me get back to comment in here they minimize all these windows thank you everyone for your patience all right I can see again looks like Mike had a great first ball
    82:07
    probably why he chose this game Matt look hopefully had a rock first of all oh boy
    82:20
    Mike is the main head streamer I'd say for the San Diego pinball Club for SD PC SD pinball twitch channel subscribe if you have not already the he runs an excellent strength
    83:07
    looks like that was going through the orbit shot at that point oh that would I think that was probably savable with the proper proper nun you can really give this this machine a nudge the tilt Bob well it's there it's um it's uh it's you get away with some decent lead Mike trying to extend his lead some more excellent shot the spinner built up with multipliers which are pretty high already
    83:54
    yes things just nudge in quotes I mean you can throw the you throw the game to the next game and then you want to boy all right so Mike with an excellent game ending well over the average for today seven hundred and fifty nine thousand sixty
    84:23
    not out of range math but he's got some work to do if you want to risk the left orbit twenty forty seventy you can build it up pretty quickly there we find that shot viability is going to be going for drops and spinners nice nice nice patience there
    84:51
    alright he's lit the left spinner up and that's it Mike Welsh moves on and we will be starting the semifinals in a moment thanks everyone for watching
    85:11
    all right final standings let's see the show up here I advance mark Gilmore advances Bob Matthews advances and once the scores come in for warlock you will see that Mike Walsh advances and then these will vanish
    85:32
    actually Jay is going to be paying out people that were eliminated
    85:46
    moderns you don't like that warlock has the modern stern seizure mode in it when he hit the left over it's nothing like some other games what was I playing at a set a Skokie his uh rapido ally with the lights off and the LEDs when you shoot anything of that game you go blind I'm thinking of bringing a headlamp just it just a bug Shane hi Shane if you're watching I'll bring a headlamp for you all right final results right there
    86:39
    you've a decent crowd watching on the screen and will wave hi hi
    86:52
    I hope if I could get shot as a entire Arcade Expo from you know let me see
    87:02
    I can't all right maybe in between games oh I'll move a camera and see if I can get one pointing it towards the entire pimple hall with 500 pinball machines insane
    87:50
    and I what do I get Derrick on the mic here okay I'm getting Derrick on the mic here don't work that way hey everyone this is Derrick newly eliminated freshly off the floor sorry Derek that's alright nice nice nice ball integrity thank you Thank You excellent ball it was it just hurts more when it drains after that much time if it just drained at the beginning I could just walked it off and I'd be fine then that's all right hey thanks guys so what what's your favorite out of the the listing here of all the games so ya know what I like to play the most yeah what do you enjoy the most I mean that doesn't have to be tournament wise but just what would I like the word Lockett Dragonfish I'm I'm really getting into winter warlock it in fact that last game I was debating between tag-teaming warlock it's it's a really cool game hmm now I really enjoyed Doodlebug I enjoyed playing it I loved playing it I hate playing in the tournament it is yeah yeah we that was a that one was acting rough it is a fun game though it's awesome alright I'm moving the rig okay we're moving over to wild card
    89:35
    so the wild card the and I don't know what all the other announces already talked about so we're probably gonna replicate and duplicate a bunch of stuff
    89:44
    Doodlebug man I have a love/hate with you so so I'll card the the right right flippers a little bit weak so I mean you're going left orbit twice the second time to get your your double bonus the feeds are all good but I think a lot of people's yeah a lot of people are starting to aim for the scoops to get the aces in at the bottom especially when the when the flippers a little weak
    90:23
    all right so we're gonna prove we played wild cards I said did you have a chance to play in the last room no not in the last round okay because I know that I was just talking everyone about you know the the flippers world a little bit weak yes during during qualifying but you know we had an hour at this point it's been two and a half hours with minimal play so yeah I'm hoping they're a little better you're right I mean from what I recall at least if it doesn't go all the way up the left over at the feeds not terrible it's not like an auto drain down the middle or the right outline all right and we're going play right player one is David so he chose he chose this game yes he chose this game and this is a this is a one player game - David able to be playing on his own that looks pretty pretty good so the the aces and the deuces but outside of just collecting them what what the what the bonus for finishing at all is that the Joker that you that you get in the middle of the playfield me you get a joker it's no for this game okay it lights a special special on the little horseshoe lane on this lane yep we'll give you 100,000 for that
    92:03
    come on my bird clear it also gives you ten thousand for each light that you necklace with this three lights okay and what lights the what lights the ten thousand lights is it the scoop every time that seem to be I think it's the Joker's okay
    92:22
    so it's always look for one okay I'm a you know what I could be completely wrong and I used to own this game and I'm really embarrassed right now well let's lid off the plunge though that that makes me think you're right it just flashed it was flashing randomly so I was thinking maybe the saucer did something maybe there's some help there anytime the score motor runs it's it's flashing you got it oh that's unfortunate I think it's a great game this one's playing a little sluggish for me yeah I mean when you have nice strong flippers and you light that spinner and you hit that spinner it's it's in my opinion is one of the best spinner shots in football really and it seems like it's pretty safe as long as you don't really hit up into a popper any well that's that's a danger but you can't hit until the pop very easily okay but when you can really nail it straight and have it go all the way back and you know fall into the scuba it's it's a great shot nice very satisfying I think any classic game has to have a good spinner I think that's got to be mandatory but I I know everyone that put this on they put a lot of effort into getting these games and all the games are in great great condition today none of them went down during qualifying nuts anytime you have a classics and no games go down that's pretty good nice nudge and I like that they left the tilts a little loose you can you can move it yeah yeah nobody screaming about tilting their game now and the tilt say you get they they deserve all right so that's 286 800 it looks like I'm gonna add this it's gonna look fancy right yeah 72 font
    94:01
    yeah it's it's just unfortunate like we were talking about the the the flippers are a little soggy so and that even that spinner didn't seem incredibly a juste so you're only getting five or six spins maybe ten tops and it's not getting all the way the top so you're not kind of getting out of danger and resetting from the top part Jordan Jordan could see Jordan would not like that I agree with that
    94:34
    did Jordan advance I was that we didn't pay attention to be finals we should announce who who moved on and B and who did let me Apple yeah we're gonna grab that while mark starts this ball here and that's a very unfortunate drain yeah yeah host right to the left outline let's see B division which you could see at the linkage remain posted on the chat or at never change comm /ae 2019 dancing in B is Chris Campbell Tom Isaac Jordan Fox and Kyle Smith eliminated were Rick Smith Dave Lord Brent Stoddard and Jorge Martinez I gotta say that this field was was stacked I mean there it was what 60 people for what was you thought would be a smaller yeah sure man yeah yeah they were I think there were more people here than what Jay was yeah this was large and you know this is an event where you're gonna get a lot of travelers from out of state you know you're not bringing up bringing folks from you know top 200 or anything like that but the competition was fierce like just getting into a you need to really solid scores and we talked about earlier those scores kept on going up as the day went on yep like things that you thought would be safe but early on just weren't demolished all right so he's got a double bonus yeah but not much bonus right now so he wants to work on adding bonus I would be shooting exactly for that those lanes they seem pretty safe on this version the game the scoops yeah saucers whatever we're gonna call yes
    96:10
    but yeah when was the first scoop and put out I mean everything in a classic had a saucer right there was no no real scoop back hunch had an under playful scoop that's what kind of what you thinkin yeah good question for the chat yeah Mike was just playing so so he can't answer it but he'd be the first one I go look it up kind of our local games knowledge rules guru Mike trying to crack the secret mania code on monsters he's saying he's really close
    96:42
    you're gonna have some fun talks with the developer at TPF is he going yeah he'll be there David will be there yeah yeah a lot of like a lot of SoCal representation
    97:00
    all right Mark's good building a solid game right here so over this is his last ball yeah and once he got to 220 so it's not insurmountable nt thousand right there yeah another right here Wow so now as long as he doesn't tilt out he's he'll have the top score I gotta find where you put that two eight there it is okay let me copy this
    97:40
    that's a good a good bonus counting 312 to 92092 92093 Carl's Carl's up to put all that game knowledge to to use to show it to you guys first hand hey Vic the game started with a countdown of ten effectively doubling Carl's game he does not need that advantage for anyone who's played or knows Carl personally
    98:44
    and then it accounted to the right right number this time ww as in whirlwind that's so tough to use acronyms now for four games there's just so many of them that's how first of all all right a lot of work to do missing miss that scoop twice too so when the style of flipper the the drop catches is interesting too and you just a new add no shot at that the flippers are just interesting so so when you try and drop catch there's a slight delay and how they how they fire and operate so you just have to be careful
    99:59
    we should require a Carl to have tough trivia for every one of his streams
    100:13
    it's weird because whirlen was not the first game that came to my mind although it absolutely has to two scoops and also a subway path between the scoops too so if that's the first scoop then that would have to be the first subway oh
    100:41
    this I feel like he's not gonna like this game afterwards or he's gonna go buy one and practice it
    100:52
    alright 10,000 there this that's been a nice shot up to the to the right part there it's the returns pretty safe you get some more pops it'll take some times it goes right back in you know for for not having a great game that point wise he's not doing bad the saucers are kicking right out to the to the flippers so it's good nice catch his nudging is is superb
    101:28
    yes he did own 100 it stays up that's why I never will sell any of my games I don't have many of them but I feel like it'll have a vendetta against me all right you know it look I just looked back at the game and spats and curses at it
    101:58
    all right gene steps up his first target is 172 and then after that he'll be aiming for 286 is that as that scoop dude a lot of people have been missing it off the plunge I feel like I'd found it when I was playing it was it just it changed it's a joke I did it James got it so did the left or of it left off was actually easier right now got it got it yeah it's kind of nice when you went up and it you know it came back down with that if counted as a if it rolls up and then rolls back would you get to two switches on that I mean this this has to be old enough that it doesn't know a reverse versus a yeah it was just a little too soon on mine yeah Karl used some harsh words like heck and darn it [Laughter] so chat is saying that a the first game with a scoop would be whirlwind is the first one that came to mind to them yeah and then I added if that was the first game with a with a scoop it's also the first one with a subway because it travels between the two scoops that are on there right so today we learned
    103:21
    listen interesting drop catch out of the out of the scoop there it's you can just let that dead bounce from what it looked like and use yeah yeah you can but I can't question what gene does because he he was he was the top qualifier for most of the day and I think he ended up second gene always tears up the classics always and I was talking to him earlier like you know I'm decent at moderns I'm decent at solid states what is the difference between a classic and those that makes it when you step up to it it's just it's it's weird you know yeah I can't get a hold of these the way the flippers feel and the bounces they're different take that
    104:24
    trying to get a double bonus that's Oh didn't need to bump that at all he must have known there was a little right-to-left lean there or he set that part yeah there's double bonus he's not 25,000 so it you're saying at this point just keep going for this for the saucers here oh yeah cuz I don't want to build that bonus up especially with the value of this now that little horseshoe gives a bonus advance too which is nice yes
    105:00
    nice heavens spinner there yeah the best you'll see on this game yeah he's he's definitely taking a different strata at this he is going spinner all day even on the fly as soon as I say that yeah I need to add classic to my my Home Collection
    105:32
    he is uh he is one there he goes that is it great job - congratulations gene all right I'm moving all these scores here and what Paul was that was a rewrite yeah ball three yeah about what I wasn't expecting this game I mean really these were lower scores in my opinion you should be on five ball game he should be able to clear six or seven hundred thousand yeah all right second group is completed as well I believe they were on let's see let's take a look come on they were on tag team j1 Mike second Bob third grant Jays got a nice ghoulish look to him it looks like a Halloween he brought he put its you know he also looks about 30 years older in that particular picture I love Jay Jay he's done a great job today with it with everything yes I feel like he probably does that when he goes up to play like dialed in and stuff - and it takes his picture it's getting the flashlight under some of those cameras on the GP games a little finicky if you you know I don't know whether it's taking the picture it's the most of times right when you hit that last initial right yeah it seems like it's at a different at a different point you're right on that I think gave it Oliver just chose TAC team that's why I ever heard that correctly no Doodlebug yeah we were just praising it I gotta give what the fans want now I think David will stick to he won't go anything to old wild card yeah that was surprising yeah he must had a really good qualifying game on that's probably why I remember the camera here alright yeah David David sticks to his streaks if he has a good game he wants to stay on it might not be his favorite game he might have only played two or three on it but if his last game on it was good he gets a feeling and he goes with it so and he's a fantastic player as well you just saw Carl move the rig across he's going to take an extra second because uh there's a game going on on wildfire
    108:37
    I think the best partner today was I learned how to play eight different games that I probably had never played before yeah it's it's good it's a big rig it does exactly what's supposed to do it fits nicely around the machines it doesn't get as long as there's you know foot or two a space but between the machines that has no problem at all he's been bringing it to a lot of big events he will be bringing it to pin masters as well and when he when he moves it there's not a lot of camera adjustment that he has to do because it you know it's kind of already like preset so it's nice
    109:49
    what's up oh yeah he's got a switch over the I guess I could have hit that button
    110:05
    all right tag-team what a great gamer this was my first experience with tag team what a great game i I thoroughly enjoyed it - fun game yeah so so are you a multi ball guru of Bob Matthews I'm going to get all my extra balls there's only one right oh my guess you get to go on the yeah you know I know one is the getting the 5 times multiplier does it and I think spelling tat like hitting tag like five times like those it - there's oh wait you don't you're okay okay so so yeah give me 5x lights - special Oh on the on the lanes you've got the one special here and then got it and it alternates the other one is is via this roll under okay so when it's lit like right now you can shoot it they'll collect the volume then you have to go down this Lane to light the next one okay the third award is extra ball and 500,000 also so you get 500,000 for special 500,000 for nice
    111:11
    yeah you can you can choose game or position if you feel you're going pretty far neat and you like all the games like Bob Mathews was doing he was just deferring ah that was a tough one the the double flip might have worked on a stern but the double flip on the older games you have to delay the second flipper just a bit because they don't fire as fast so you got to give it a give the ball a second to hit it and and then you can double flip down and it wouldn't have mattered if he went over the roll over or not if he had a locked ball what it does is it'll save the lock ball it's like a wheel of fortune and free spin but Carl was shaking that for no real reason he wouldn't got any benefit might have felt better maybe 10,000 points I yeah it's not enough I'll tell you that's not worth a million that's what I needed Oh spinner for ten thousand I got 300,000 I've been seen out there that there's the apron is so close to the flipper yeah that if he didn't flip that ball possibly will come back yep it's tough to tell yourself not a flip it is it is it's and it's got to be the right of center if it's left of center coming right to left it's not not gonna work I caught it so tough that's like trying to dead bounce the apron that's that's yeah yeah yeah yeah the game selection was ridiculously good you can tilt this game we showed it off a couple times in our in our last match but this this style of game you don't you need nudging you're not draining down the middle all that often even though the gap looks really big between the two flippers holding up one of the flippers cuz they don't they don't extent they don't go up too far you can actually usually get the tip of a flipper on the ball so you just hold that up and nudge it over works way better
    113:27
    you're not really making large move okay making a large move but you still Intel yeah I think the biggest thing about this game is just figuring out the angles that the ball is gonna come down at like it's not playing difficult it just takes weird weird angles coming down and you have to get used to it it's a good catch right there you can cradle on the top left flipper it's advisable you can take a free shot to your tag letters or there's a one way gate right next to the G of tag that you can get back up into the to the rollovers for that said special plenty of shots yeah I think that's what's great about it and it's still it's balanced like for a game with this many shots this many opportunities and stuff and a multi ball it wasn't like anything was if it was a free multi ball then I'd say otherwise but you got to really work for that multi ball and there's no ball save on it so you can drain out quickly so we just collected one of those shots that you were talking to get into that roll under okay that's a touch that is a very tight shot that's by no means a given you don't have to make it through it you can just hit the little switch down there to get it got it walking up I mean this is the best scenario for him yet 24000 on the first ball he's not too far behind like we said extra balls and specials are half a million on this game so there are strats you just go spinner get your in lanes the feed is super safe because there is no right out lane there is a right I did anyone see if that was worth any points for the Free Spin we still don't know if that's worth any points I deserve to go 14 oh yeah yeah that's the I mean you'll have an advantage on ball three knowing what most players will have no one's blown it up on ball one or you know one or two yeah Jeanne might be another case but Jeanne also won the first game so you're okay with Jeanne yeah there he goes he got it on the second time around it's just continuation that is 10000 points a spin very similar to Raven and TS sector and stuff like that I think those are all 10,000 spin games all right now so now we just stood the second value for the role under by getting the that right in and that's the 15,000 yes value okay and that stays permalip yes okay nice there's that double flip that we talked about you got it delay the second flipper just a little bit because these aren't as strong as your modern Stern's and that just usually throws the ball out of danger and not having a right outline just it's fantastic all right so he's got both walk slit now and the good thing about the lock is as you've seen if you do go out that left out lane if you roll over the white lit saw you will get one of those back you'll have to wreak wala fie that lock but you are still playing so 10k is that what the lid out link gets you know thanks Jermaine I made sure to go over this time oh that's trouble oh he didn't even try and nudge it there that's all right yeah buddy have a ball locked he really should have tried to admit right not much bonus in this game yep so David will walk up again not well he's got his Taglit so that's that's yeah my first priority yeah he's going up into the left give yourself that safety and then honestly with the scores I'm probably just going spinner all day unlit spinner I you know what five completions at the top for five hundred thousand true true well now he's got only one away from the extra ball yeah so if he rolls through the the right yeah yes I roll too bad oh there it is kissed it look at that so this is now my priority Oh it's hard to make let's finish out on the fly yeah it's it's a I've I've hit more post thing I think that just had went out when it hit and that spinner still you know it's a it's a thousand and it's going so it's oh no there you go that's gonna come out that's oh nothing is gonna come out everyone I'm sorry the commentators just lied to you
    118:15
    why yeah yeah you just missed the spinner he's lamenting on the the timing the non grace period spinner
    118:32
    see where he goes his first target is 435 and I think you go unlit spinner it's a thousand per it's a safe return and you're building your building towards that five hundred thousand still want tag still want to block for that safety net this is true but from so from the right flipper I did not find any of those letters up when they're easy to hit really not from the what I would do from the right flipper is I'd actually hit the lock shot and let that send it down to my left flipper okay yeah yeah I know that's a good shot that's good good come for them yeah oh we just missed it
    119:26
    it's tough to see which lane is lit the the leftmost lane is bright the other two are dull and I missed it again so it's really weird that on the tax side it doesn't strobe the shot that you need it becomes solid for the second one and it actually doesn't move to the third one either even when you I don't understand the tax side of it but almost the lights are not functioning yeah the dangerous team well he's all right so he's already cleared the 4:35 he's cleared his first goal true I I think the smart thing is still the lock as you as you pointed out but then he might not know the value of the extra ball zone or even how to get the extra balls this is this is not an obvious game it's not one that you see very often there you go all right all right it's so he's at a four X or X I need one more to light the special Oh tough one okay he did work he did what he was supposed to do yep
    121:02
    so Carl it's just the M and team from the left from the left flipper he may go for that i I don't know you know because you really want that safety nut right so you need to either spell tagger team one or the other you might just take it out here and just say to heck with it
    121:29
    all right he's going safety strategy oh this is there's nothing wrong with this nice save oh we almost got the the rollover mmm I don't know about that back-end but saves all right and he now needs the a and tag so that was that let it bounce off the apron maybe instead of flipping it by bouncing mean tilts right so I mean although you lost this one Carl it was the best because gene one yeah yeah yeah oh yeah the situation is well marked market second so that puts market for four points so so you need help but you're not mathematically you have an out yeah and I assume dolly is already yes dolly is completed all right so let's see how a dolly ended J with six grant with four Mike with three Bob with one we are eight four two zero yeah so so there's some so if David or Mark win well I can't say they're three over there there's there's a bunch of tiebreaker having too much to go over unlikely scenarios yes yeah well as the game is played will update ball the ball but they're you know right now David picking eight ball
    123:27
    man I don't even want to think about good luck right now that was that was a rough round so so group two we already stated and J Jay and grant in a good position but Mike and Bob are not out yet so all right I call drunk driver with David now cuz he called cuz he got a call the wild card any Paul yeah an internal RNG generator got that helped him pick that oh wait I need to change game hello this 8-ball is nasty yeah it is mean David eleven thousand on oh we already finished the first gene gene was player one Oh gene Oh cuz he want to get out of the way that was nice of him okay he's already through so he doesn't he doesn't care oh so a ball was one of his top call Frank games yes and how many times did he play it to get that top small thing score yeah this this was one of them if you got the super super bonus you know you were pretty good if you got it Oh needless to say he did not get his bonus there but wow that was just crazy
    124:59
    so the so the best punch that I found on this one is the rightmost Lane the pop was doing very well to light yeah yeah the spinner and the a line yeah but getting the what it seems seems to always want to go to to the one to the left yeah the one exactly it's amazing if you're super patient you can plunge for about a minute and let it just roll barely out of the gate I don't feel there's enough money on the line to do it but if you really wanted to you could and the other thing about that right pop was sometimes it would take out hit the eight for the for the ball say but sometimes would go over the candy cane and give you your your multipliers your bonus multipliers and it was a really really safe beat from that right side a little nudge and you could just catch it right on the right flipper I he had to really move this game tilt it cuz I I was pushing this thing all over the place and without any tilts yeah it was it was a move I think your warlock move might have been a little bit right yeah all right okay it's some monsters right I this is exactly what Carl wanted to walk up to mark in last place nothing from a crazy score perspective
    126:26
    yeah I mean mark needs would have to get fourth that's that's the only out for Karl Karl has to win and mark 4 ok let's see what he does I mean at this point now you probably just put it up top the Tap House was flaky at best okay nice move right control you must learn control that shot okay so the other thing if you do get all four of the top lanes what will happen what will happen is uh the arrows will alight and if you go through that arrow you will actually get one of the candy cane bonuses which you know your two times three times five times etc so once you have the the lanes lit you don't even go candy cane anymore I mean with a commanding lead at twenty two thousand but I mean
    127:41
    anything can happen on these so you know if I'm gonna if I'm trying to light the lane here the candy cane was not hitting the the shot so I would actually aim directly at if that's what you're going for the candy cane was not yep yep yep okay nice Jill nice oh right Outland yep punished for missed shots is this game they Karl said it's it's a little bit brutal there's there's a little metal piece right there right yeah so you can you must have caught it right on the corner okay now it wouldn't matter as much still don't want to use it you don't want to use it yeah catch no he's an on-the-fly player so that's fine this is his comfort zone might help to take out the five and six there well he's nice shot he stripes this camp all right I'll take it 3,000 per for for each ball and in bonus and as as we discussed complete that fourth Lane and you all of a sudden have like a shot that will give you your candy cane value every time you roll over it and add to that about Oh feel good ball for this game yeah all he needs is a point yeah as long as David doesn't win right as long as David doesn't win
    129:20
    we mean oh I thought we were gonna be watching some plunges oh just kissed that target and Wow oh he did pick this game driver no one here is actually consumed any alcohol he was just saying that his game choices seem more like someone who's not it's a little random but I I mean to me it makes sense I really like this game and you get no points for Ferrari reap lunge super seeker skill shot five second ball save timer ah nice nice now kick it and hold okay let's see what he decides to do here oh
    130:17
    I think he could I was a little bit of a flipper gaff I think that was savable the the slings are not very strong so you get like this like little back and forth which I feel makes it a little bit well now it's firing pretty hard but I know it'll go between the two slings and you just don't know when it's gonna come to a flipper or an outline like that that's it right there mark advances gene advances yeah so that that determined the fate of the the group Congrats to to both of them and our other group was playing on what did the other group just decide to play are they already done wildfire okay they're Auvergne Martha and player two is leading right now after ball one no you're right David David can't slow guitar what am I saying yeah it's been a long day it's been a long month Karl oh it's not over yet what are you talking about we get to see each other a lot yes David yeah I did yeah okay so David has to pull in front of mark here right yeah and then you can still play spoiler
    131:56
    David not too big a Boz oh yeah exactly this is your punishment still a few different outcomes
    132:08
    yeah I have warned a thousand point ball on this so it's anything's possible yeah I mean like the there's the spinner lit right Oh
    132:19
    so at this point just rip that's not gonna hurt he's gotten you know what okay bye he's got twenty seven thousand in the bank already he want some more not unlit Landy yeah so every ok oh that's gonna be perfect every one that he takes out is nine thousand points to
    132:44
    settle settle set up all right so that was so close he just needed the two other roll over so so Carl will not be playing spoil over that does determine that mark and gene are going through congratulations just like we called it everybody we call that foresight and Carla's still this still works towards placement your points in the round determine where you get when you're eliminated so he's still playing for fifth through through eighth position minor differences if you care about walkers and he's got the so this top lane let he's got like everything ready to go he's probably gonna have the best ball ever we should probably record this and send it to Papa TV he's showing us the good use of that out Lane say what a move right there that was not easy back up top hit the 8 there it is what nudging all right let's see what he decides to do here a little tap no I thought he's gonna show off some skills now you definitely just go back up top you hope for the white arrow roll no as I say that you got something something different that's some good reaction time though he is now squarely in first but it didn't I mean after bonus it but it doesn't matter much but this is still good this still makes you feel good even if you're eliminated you want to go out on a good note
    134:45
    [Music] now at maximum bonus he just needs one he needs the the 16 a 14 on the right-hand side but he gets it now he needs the 8 why not let's give it to him oh absolutely absinthe all changes when there's anything on the line like it could be a tootsie roll on the line and it's like oh my god this is the most important thing in my life right now look at these moves look how easy this is Carly's not ranked 42nd for any you know no reason he he's a fantastic player I've had the the pleasure to watch him play to learn from him to try and mimic him I even wear the same shirt as him one day to hope that by osmosis I would get some of his powers so when he gets a special just that's the way to go out go out with a special he he seems to disagree but but that was that was a good match
    136:00
    nan your game picking not in your game picking as what Carl may argue yeah we we like to call that sandbagging he is way better than 40 seconds I got changed camera now all right some camera Shane over there oh that's a one oh man hey guys I told you I was tired today III thought that forty second sounded way off
    136:45
    this probably shows you why I was eliminated in the first round because I I can't read numbers I probably actually thought I was winning and it was it was a what's up oh it's it's great the ease of moving it it's cut down on set-up time yeah sure I got you
    137:29
    Oh tough one and the feet are pretty friendly it's got a at the bottom it's got it's got a weird layout just does this layout have a name I think I like the time bottom right okay okay you knew what I was talking about I was actually called the French bottom I knew it was something like that oh nice nice look over it's it's interesting because like when one game became popular and did well then they just throw out a bunch of him that look at the exact same and have this kind of bottom but I think like galaxies kinda has like a similar layout I think that was a few other of this time
    138:33
    so Jay is is he took first so far he's got 313 nearest person is player 2 at 277 alright he's at the dreaded a 2 X 5 X bonus stage Oh every switch changes who X bonus yep third ball and it's not even every switch it's just his things 5x ah ok 3 you know right there 5 is it just this no I was gonna ask if it was just the side swings but there are no swings above the flippers I have some announcements for B division in a minute
    139:20
    and we learned the spinor rule earlier what is the spinner of the spinner rule is the spinner is lit for one thousand spin when your bonus is act two thousand eight thousand sixteen thousand hmm or 20 times okay that's interesting I was thinking it was like exponents of like two or something like that but at least I think that's what it was to eight fourteen twenty to eight fourteen twenty it's kind of random yeah and the spinner is worth a thousand at that point or yes okay thousand instead of a hundred laziest is requesting a direct audio feed for this game I think he left that attachment at home Oh see now this is a problem J just collected its bonus but it's his weight Oh is he getting at a 5x yes okay I thought it didn't collect with the multiplier yeah I think we learned this Mike was telling me that this this was true this is I mean this is massive and he can build it right back up I think at first he thought the game malfunctions sketching out those old processors sometimes I think it was on purpose
    140:56
    we'll think about it that's how Eames used to be so they wanted to emulate nem that's true excellent nudging here so he's that five times and he's building it back up these games were always interesting where your advance bonuses were just random switches placed on the play field or random rollovers I guess
    141:29
    or did you know the two outer outlines outer aliens will give you advance bonus as well he goes oh right up to 20 oh this would be a massive collect he's at the five times but it's a lucky scoop hey absolutely in fact hitting it you probably aren't gonna hit it from you know hitting it up the right hand side cuz it's just going too hard yeah like hitting the spinner and then getting some good pop lock and stuff I got that's nice nice J on fire here yeah this is a huge ball and there's the boy and he's just switched the 5x - it was at 2x yeah so now he's gonna take a breather halftime show here a special set to point I would not know I know no no either I was looking at Karl for that answer but the person playing is probably the one who would know this yes the most
    142:48
    Ricki Roos requesting commands on my jet and I don't think I've set up any commands on my chat so I see the automated thing from stream elements like that's not gonna work you can look at the commands but they're gonna be empty I'm curious click on it now yeah let's see where what shows up well you don't know what's gonna happen as if we go out it's because we got really curious about this link that's up there [Laughter]
    143:25
    yeah people were putting in things like exclamation point brackets oh yeah and that's the comment I just never set things up I'm just dominating and Carl you cannot say that you're lazy with all this that you've that you've built and done for the pinball community it's it's absolutely ridiculous
    143:57
    well the the old Stern manuals probably give you all the nice rule sets and stuff the the newer ones don't tell you anything about the game because of code updates and all that other stuff so you got some generic things and even that doesn't seem to be the truth like the Munsters manual says you can only get one mystery per per game and at a at a point you were getting like two randomly and we couldn't figure out why err how hey back a bit about I can't speak anymore that's it I'm done yes we are on the wireless ring wow I can't even believe that like that didn't go down any in lane it was like out lane and it was teasing both in lanes and as Lane on just to the flipper this is Jay it's cool ah good ball good ball not nice fantastic yeah yeah let's see if he does he roll it is he close no he does that's still that's okay high score from night that's and and that high score in the game will likely stick because he didn't roll it so it's that's even better
    145:15
    so this that actually really helped to grant in this situation yes because Mike had first and he would have been through all right so at this point Mike has two hundred eighty-five thousand eight hundred eighty six thousand six hundred okay so Bob Mike is through if neither person passes him let's that's the easy way to put it [Music] there are probably some other things that can happen but that yes and he's found this the spinner here I'm surprised he's taking such active live shots on your I I I feel that Bob is kind of a control player not all the time though okay he's decided this game he's just he's going for it and it hasn't hurt him yet
    146:12
    it is fascinating with gentlemen this is Dracula used the same wrong which is does he have it so the only other double bonus if that had been five times oh my god two hundred short three or a hundred I mean still holy geez and that that was random that that was where if that had been on five times and he just Auto if he purposely drains at five times he's he wins or he beats Mike so this now grant has to well Jesus he's not gonna come in between them so never say never
    147:01
    yep oh wow that's good reaction I thought that was a perfect dead bounce candidate and it was not okay control grant a a long time player and I recently moved back to California it's a great party oh yeah he drives hours to come that's who that is okay and that puts that puts Mike through yes so Jay Mike advance Wow a 300 point difference it's incredible great job all right let's see come on there you go
    147:51
    that was one incredible game oh that's great let's get to watch all right move the rig over so I don't know if Jays gonna do B he's paying out people for B division right now I believe mm-hmm get all done and we have the results for that right that's all set do you want to we haven't told the the waiting crowd who won let's take a look well we'll take a look we'll tell you it's a tape in fourth place oh wait a second here and we got a tiebreaker for second and third so in fourth place we have bridge Jordan Fox in first place we have Kyle Smith and our tiebreaker for second third will be Chris Campbell and Tom Isaac which I think we got to run that before a finals I'm gonna ask Jay that's me if I would the rig over to him about okay sounds good congratulations to Kyle congratulations to everyone who got through to B again not not an easy field and it was really tight it was seven six six two so Chris and Tom were just behind it it worked out just so that Kyle got through he got one point in the last on the last game to eke out the the victory
    149:17
    yeah one more slingshot and you know if you go on to pin side and and all the other places they basically say look up and decide if you want to just dream and then that would have been that would have been the right choice at that point 18,000 times five he would have in another fifty four thousand on top eight ball for the tiebreaker yep yeah we this will be between Chris and Tama at Chris Campbell and Tom Isaac
    149:59
    okay getting things up here we're on an eight ball tiebreaker I just want to get it running since they were up and they already started so this this I assume is is this Isaac I actually don't know who this is I'm working on that right now okay
    150:23
    there we go my first camp oh yes this is Chris this is Chris of captain's auction yet warehouse there is sponsoring and giving gifts to the to the winners he's 500 from from captions auction yet for first and we were talking with him earlier they are gonna start running monthly tournaments at their new venue oh boy I look forward to going up and playing we were just like discussing that so Kyle needs to coordinate their times because there's Santa Ana and and all these other places a lot of pinball a lot more than there were there was in the last five years absolutely I think I partook in 64 events last year Wow something like that yeah Chris she's having a very good ball here this is he's got everything that you'd won he's got the the left out lane lit
    151:28
    commentators curse oh wow but that in Lane was nice oh okay all right up to 3x man okay that's that's not though not the worst it's what 45,000 in bonus yeah a nice ball all right Tom stepping on
    151:55
    yeah I feel JME Garvey that a sooner or later we're gonna have to have just a norcal socal brawl pinball brawl pinball I think this might be Tom's first tournament is it really well he has no rank Wow I'm noticing oh yeah he's good lazy programmer when rank is null don't show ya coalesce sorry just geeking out a little over here all right Tom's got his last ball here if this is the first tournament what a great showing I think we've got someone for life in the pinball community all right still great you all right so Chris comes in second Tom comes in third actually excellent all right then speaking of our sponsors
    153:19
    I believe this is Jason Garvey right you should just make States and come down SoCal is a you know our venues are good it's it's I had fun coming up to the Oakland area this year it was it was a great time everyone was really cool we're running into an administrative emergency where we don't have enough envelopes to put the cash in so everyone was just being handed wads of cash and trophies and the
    153:57
    baskets and some pictures gets a nice little trophy everyone's smiling Jaradat I knew it was sorry about that man yeah and disc is is phenomenal by far one of my favorite non pin burg tournaments
    154:20
    there's an image of half the hall here well you can kind of see all the way back of the white birth on here so draw on it but yeah all the Eames are on our side and all the monitors are over on the further side the 500 pinball machines here at the museum with pinball you can see the back of both of our heads no I think we actually look like we have the same haircut but Carl might we're talking and these two people have no idea they're on camera yeah this this is actually considered PDA at this point they have no idea all right let me see what game they're going to go back to I mean that was entertaining it was great
    155:07
    and we're stoking the fire with a norcal socal rivalry we will we will see you guys some people might be up there for Golden State but we will definitely make an appearance for city champ
    155:29
    barring that you can you can get in within the 5 seconds that you need to to get the 80 tickets but that was a fantastic event last year too so what game are we on we're moving this scorpion alright first first time for something I've seen it sounds commentating tonight sorry I missed that I was trying to listen Jay saying that because he's the director I believe but he is making some ineligible for the main prize Oh believe okay that's very kind I don't think anyone was worried about it I I wish he would just I I think he should have played for it I I get Jays just a nice guy he's really nice yes he is but I think the way that everyone's been today like you know the winner should get everything but we good we are good thank you yes great day there is a tournament for the show it's smaller right now well it was a small of what 66 people I think it was yeah all classics just classics I think the format kind of helped you this was a herb style qualifying it was you know five hours of qualifying it was just really a short yeah yeah it wasn't it wasn't much but it was yeah nice yeah I liked being compact mm-hmm yeah you don't see very many like single day you know a limited qualifying tournament so it was just fun yeah I agree well if J wins we'll give them a big round of applause and that that'll do it yeah Raymond a she I was I was looking for you I'm surprised I didn't see you yeah Raymond where were you not talking to you Ray day I had to use first and last name so let's see if when he goes for you might just go for the locks bhulok green lock and then multi ball I don't know which way you wants to play it whichever is this a locks to hamper yes and qualifying you don't see it at all so you don't know all right there you go
    158:19
    [Applause] okay locks both of them went and we go into multi-ball so is it uh I was a fast multipole the other ball hadn't even kicked out yet but you don't have to do anything qualify locks so these advances bonus multiplier know a little bit of a benefit so when you get into the multi goal are you hitting are you going for that no bank no I'm gonna try and shoot a backup top of it that's better okay you see keep telling my voice how excited I am
    159:03
    yeah Carl described it as a grind fest game and I can't disagree with him okay he's got one cradle this is perfect if this comes down to a flipper you'll be in good shape so will you backhand here no oh he's going for the targets the things that he said not to go for well he's playing I'm not yeah this is also true that it doubles your bonus right is that what yeah advanced advancing the bonus multiplier and that's it okay well he goes five times but the bonus seemed to lokasya maybe collected it I'm being attacked of the chat now was I did not understand the enormity of laws until we were at some place and they had a printout of how you progress through modes in waz and it took up an entire living room wall oh and that was an unfortunate wow that was very unfortunate 10200 that was tough so they have a yes an entire printout of how you progress through every bit and piece of laws thing and it was across the entire dining room like I don't I mean kudos to to the wife that allowed him to put that up in the dining room and have pinball machines in the dining room too and so it's it's a it's a wonderful place
    160:35
    there we go again he's trying to Jimmy it yeah that'll tell but he it didn't have anything so so does your bonus do you add up both the blue and the green is that how bonus works on this game or do you collect one you only got like one side of it kind of like a la grand prix maybe the chat room can help us a chat room what's going on unfortunately this is one game I'm not as familiar with is everything else you just had no interest in like I don't I don't just walk out mine is Aerosmith so that's fine we had a nice discussion before getting on our flight about this is the final four yesterday so I don't know Marc Gilmore this is the first time I've met him yeah I had not played I mean he's played in a couple tournaments he has a his or he's not if yeah okay but but speaking of the other players so it's a J Collins is the tournament director here he's also done some great work on our logo designs he did all the he did the architects book but the Spring Classics design a few days he he did the IE pinball logo and that looks amazing he did the Indus cloak oh he's done a lot of work for us he's been helping tremendously he also runs the games admission control in Santa Ana good place if you haven't been there definitely take a visit and then Mike Mike is the streamer extraordinaire down San Diego SD pinball on Twitch that was interesting okay so it is so no loss - right right you just have to be ready to flip if you did not know that that would happen and then our last player Jean he is the owner of a vintage arcade superstore in Glendale and is a master at classics he's off you haven't noticed he's in just about every classics event in Southern California yeah if there's a finals he's in it he's had good runs at Indus classics I think he was excited that you guys announced two classic days oh just wait yeah yeah more in the works guys yeah don't don't don't miss in this next year okay yeah
    163:01
    it's it sounds like it's gonna be a bit I don't know how you can top this year I had that much fun don't miss in disc ray ray Raymond no no no no no no no no that's a crying face the moji stuff firfer you're missing it no you're not missing it this year yeah I mean if we have to go pick you up we might that's fine classics week yeah it's there's a lot plan alright just needs the left walk you can't post okay you can't post us I did find that out even though the the slings are in really odd spots it actually works out pretty well alright so it counts not the bonus right now oh okay that's why it was so delayed pickleball time yeah all right so now he's gonna shoot the drops because that's we did last time right now now that I believe was a big shot the the sounds exactly and everything is multiplied by three right now to a number
    164:19
    nice backhand to get the other ball out of the way hey loves coming down this is excellent execution you see you see him kinda it looks like he's planning he's just keeping the ball up top he's just trying to hit some random stuff free points he does have the spinner lit on the on that side too so you can backhand the spinner from the upper left one if you you won't get much but it's doable look at that these tip overs are are amazing were these flippers stage ugly I did not try staging them with that right to that right orbit that right lane is is got a huge value on it right now right anyways worden gotten he's got the extra ball oh and we are playing these extra balls too this is what a showing here by Jay look at that that's amazing
    165:23
    I can't even figure out which score is his score Atlas he's player one right yeah 341,000 okay I feel like was there was there supposed to be an extra digit in front of there like yeah he's just killin it
    165:44
    we have the meeting is a meeting of the Raymond's and Chad yes yes boof boof is the one that coined David ravenson [Laughter]
    166:04
    that's huge I know gonna count down so he had Bonus Time perm is multi ball as you're in multi ball you have a timer that counts up and you get bonus for the length of time that you're in multi ball
    166:17
    the timer will you can't just cradle that's okay he wanted someone else to play that was very nice of him great Bob yeah that was excellent and so if you cradle both balls the timer will stop it's smart enough to know you have to hit a switch to keep it going but some extra value oh boy Oh get out of there nice nudge good job oh you know idea-wise that was fine I liked what was going with it a hook shot missed it got punished but I think it was the right ladies
    167:15
    okay so that's what that that five bank does it it can double the timer bonus so two thousand per second instead of one thousand per serving this is probably the best grindy game ever Carl no you just see that happening that's yeah you see it was in trouble at the top of the swing yeah
    167:55
    so gene walks up I can't tell the score gene has a 38,000 okay yeah I gotta find a better way to put the player profile stuff because they take up a lot of real estate the switch its shrinks all the other displays cuz normally you have that window a lot bigger where you could actually read it yeah I I think that the chat should vote whether you need to put commands in twitch first or change the profiles it's that great multi ball right here he's playing very well
    168:52
    so you already have suggestions yeah well I know I want to highlight the active player and have the other players be smaller oh I think it's trying to take up the left side of the screen so would you have to manually move you'd have to move yeah yeah so yeah but there's always someone at the desk yeah advanced player yeah and with that I mean you could you could easily if you're gonna do that then you could definitely do the ball number that they're on because the it would keep track as it as it rotates through and I gave someone an idea so that's great so I commented her curse that very badly
    169:43
    exactly oh oh that's ball in there and he realizes that now it was still blinking I know that's kind of cruel isn't it hey let's link this uh that looks nice thing that you can't go into it's probably worth points there you go all right just so calm
    170:23
    you know I do I do have a third mic if you want to you want to talk we might be adding to our desk we do have the B Division champion sitting next to me I feel like a better player just by his presence he put his trophy down right next to me to show it off to
    170:50
    the trophies are really cool it's a standard top for her trophy just kind of like a chalice type thing and then the bottom is a wooden slash metal thing that looks like a pop bumper it's really cool
    171:16
    oh my gosh too dangerous this game does have dangers that's what you heard I
    171:21
    feel like they could have chose a better noise for dangerous but alright yes Kyle Kyle Smith of San Diego 1b division really good showing by him he is also going home with a comment today a comment yeah he bought a Call Me Baba kama
    171:45
    so once he invites us all over again we'll be playing common he didn't take me up with my offer oh that's what was happening ok I was like why can I hear all the conversations around me all of a sudden
    172:12
    so so the tilt Bob is like really it does not stop and I'm surprised that no one's actually tilted this game at all in there he also learned the hard way stop flashing light I don't know Sauron will get on that
    172:35
    you're not gonna suggest him that this should be his next game we don't want to encourage people to put scorpion in this random I this yeah this would be a really rough this you're saying this is probably not an in disc for next year I do not have a game choice and that's that Jim's Department okay yeah I mean I do not know how pirates got into last year's oh that was that was me saying it's a good game it's a good game Jim pirates is a good game I can make it hard Tex Jim pirates is a fantastic game look how solid this code is it is a great eye I if I could afford a game right now I that would be the one that I'd purchase I'm envious of anyone who owns water took my collection from 12 games early on for now so alright Mike got into multi ball maybe I should actually talk about the game we're playing it's been a long day Carl we've expressed this to the crowd it's tough he isn't multi-ball those head
    174:12
    took the headshake value all right back to multiple or back to locking balls of it what what ball are we on we are both three the display says one just a 1 you're right well we know it's not one nice whack of the plunger to get it great better value now I'll get the double count down bonus that we just learned about so 36,000 from that bomb plays at the very oh it's on the reins so that was this timer for multi ball in it yeah I feel like they should have used the other display window to do that number credit right right all right let's see what gene can do genius at 131 he's currently in third place and he's starting multi ball so he needs to surpass 260 is his first goal and that was not nice and if he doesn't make a move here okay he knew
    175:26
    yeah the once you're honed in on the the lock shots there they're not that risky they're not that tough rejects from those locks were not super punishing when you get to the upper play field absolutely or you're you're going for whatever points you can I think if he gets close to the 260 this is the right play I believe a completion is that 15,000 right now I got 50,000 lid on that right orbit right right
    176:05
    okay take some shots up right now the Pops okay and he has this three times bonus multiplier so that you know he's got he's got points of the bank I can't do math right now but boy works on this game he will also else as four seconds of multi-ball time so that's four thousand two and it takes a shot there so to the the best of my knowledge I believe by bonus he has surpassed Mike oh that now he does it for fifty thousand yeah 277 oh nice slang
    177:06
    I was a very friendly sewing sling a nice long count down here some single ball play at three times play field value nice inland like that 50,000 shot on the orbit is is seems like a really good oh yeah this sign me dreams I'm excited rainiest event during this event yeah oh he almost came all the way back he ended out at 475 good game yeah I expect the rest of these games to be like a third of that time though being in this classics unless tag team tech team can be a very long game dragon fist is the next game with it's amazing back artwork and cool see which rules sort of
    178:25
    everyone here at Arcade Expo just said in unison dragon fists the disbelief but it's it's J choosing the games and I am not surprised um I think we've had it on once maybe in the first round but if anyone needs to go over some some rules we can we can Co for my cursory knowledge and Karla can chime in with all the stuff that he knows I know you're like see which you're you're aiming for the top right X is always lit first a hard plunge will will hit the top of this the pop and kind of stay around there and take shots the second you know after race it the second the second one is gonna be lit at the three bank and then the third will be up here on the left side and you hit that by by hitting the orbit and a little bit of pop luck to each time you complete one of those I believe you hit the spinner once to add to your multiplier does it just Auto add to your multiplier or not under percentage it's a very good question you know and then there is a counter on the the left part of the bottom or the right part of the bottom that tells you how many spins you've got and I think at certain intervals of 20 40 60 you can get hundred thousand things lit on those three banks they're testing the right in lane switch to make sure that it's registering and doing what it's supposed to be doing I don't know if you can hear what this game sounds like but it sounds like something's getting mutilated it's very weird sound effects like it's got a bunch of karate people on there and those you know dragons and all this stuff and then you've got really odd sound effects
    180:22
    okay okay the lane guide was actually sinking some so they raised it up that way and maybe that's why we've seen quite a few over the link guide slash flipper that jumped over a few things yeah that's that happens a lot with these these older games right they did it they're just kind of like pounded into the play field yeah from what I know and over time would you know doesn't have this grip it used to write well and the other thing is this is just one bent piece of metal there nothing else is anchoring it to the play field it's the top piece and the the joint that's right it right next to gonna nail him yeah yep all right Jay taking the first end he does not get to any a drop target loves on the plunge you know yeah I think he said he I oh no roll over he's this game was playing fast mm-hmm and you really had to be on your toes all right to get them it looks like he there he got the third one right there nice so now he has this two times blinking but not now now it's solid I don't know what the difference is so now I'd be going for the middle no he will not be going for the middle three so this has the the common Stern design where like the out lanes are below the top of the slings Allah stars and right and the meteorite stuff yeah exactly so it's it's extremely draining thank you for Mark exhibiting that for us not catching a break there no no he's still smiling you can see him in the background he's having a good time
    182:14
    well Raymond's I think you should come out to Arcade Expo next time and absolutely in disc and then you can play this game be happy to see you Oh tough one
    182:33
    more flips than mark let's score the mark alright two of the three drops down so this game also suffers from an immense amount of glare the back glass is real Oh Mike that did jump over something yeah yeah yeah there's a lot of glare even when you're playing the game yeah I mean you can see like you can see the the title on the on the play field of the the dragon fist by the pops up there so even if you had one of those glare guards I don't think it's gonna work cuz it's like even the top of the plate the top of the back is showing on the play field he need the glass you know alright some jzx multipliers on the center bank but he's probably not shooting for it because it's dangerous yeah I just I don't know what the alternative is I know like I said we know we talked about like spinner hits and and they're being points if you get a certain amount he's still in a commanding heat well let's hope that everyone gets a little bit more love the hard plunge is where you want to go on on on this one that short one you can see the pop just kind of doesn't go into the to the oh well seen this before on top of the rubber band this will go on to the right flipper yes this happened earlier today
    184:06
    so this is the second time that the ball has taken air so it's not you know it's not just that guide it's just maybe because it's so fast that it's just taking off yeah that make sense all right what's he gonna shoot for from here I went left orbit yeah I'd agree at this point unless you want to tap it over yeah but I don't think I think it's going to tap it on
    184:56
    all right thank you left orbit that's left over it's going it's for each one of those yellow targets around the play field that you hit it adds like mm to the orbit so it really was only 6,000 total when he was hitting it so it wasn't worth a lot the spinner was worth a ton more I need more time on this game to figure out where the points are and J was not heading towards the center target Bank so I assumed don't hit the center target bang but yeah so he's taking it so so this has see which issue 'ls but it it plays like stargazer is because there's random stand-ups are across the entire play field that if you hit them they light up and add points yeah it reminds me more of Quicksilver for some reason okay okay it's got a left lane to any game with a left lane left lien oh that Iron Maiden is very Quicksilver a so that's left lane [Laughter]
    186:16
    full plunge does not work for Mike okay that's a good day so yes and oh so what were his options there let's go over the IFP a rule book I'd have to look at a front top of the sling but it's the trajectory you kind of follow the path through the ball can go so completely certain now I had up looking up okay but I want to say it may have been to put it down me that's brutal I know if it's on top of the inner lane and outline then yes it's absolutely I did not know that the sling also the same I don't I don't think it is okay I mean that's where when so is that's where the trichter wanted to take it raid a if you're still in chat let us know what the ruling would have been there
    187:37
    all right mark stepping up his last ball marks in the lead right yeah hundred some odd thousand yes yep commanding lead
    187:59
    the strategy of just hitting things is working there you go it's got some sort of well 10,000 bonus
    188:23
    tried to college right post that's still long I mean he's looking pretty good three hundred thousand I would absolutely accept it after watching how how mean this games been
    188:42
    all right Mike wants that right orbit where the spinner is so that he can get the multiplier over there let's see if he finds any other way to move it right to left I I'd be scared of a post pass because of the possibility of not hopping over the flipper yep I think that was the right thing to do it's just there aren't that many points there oh yeah the time I was gonna say there's not I mean he's only 22,000 not even after that shot right because he only got one one lit insert there yeah
    189:19
    yeah there was there was some frustration tilt and in that one and I can't blame him at that point that was that was a rough game of dragon fist okay so you can see the hits counting up he's got 30 40 hits that were counting and then a dream alright my prediction for the next game is April that's it seems to be a common thing do you think that's a weird pick or you you behind this pick knowing oh I'm not behind yeah I liked it but yeah it's not not everyone's cup of tea four four four two is what we're thinking the math comes out to be uh J did not get last so it's not it can't be four four four two right J might have got one point yeah J got one point so it's five other scores
    190:41
    five 441 I mean you still can get into and he called it is a ball FYI but this lends itself to a lot of tiebreak scenarios in fact Mike is not technically out of it yet he has a perfect scenario where Jay gets last he gets first and no I'm sorry actually cannot win because someone else will get second and that will put them at six so he is he is fighting love that time these that one of these yeah yeah my best burger when you bought it or when you sold it what about it it seems like a great game I've seen in a few home collections say 60 bucks yeah high it was one of those I got there what year did you get prize like 32 like six years ago Wow it was it was a I get in the house I go to I'm like okay here it got out of there as quickly as I could that's that's great did you try contact too eager like oh my god no oh that bounce did not work Wow $60 that's crazy I do not see this up you know a lot of people post up on stuff up on Craigslist and stuff I don't see it very often anymore they made so many of them though I mean it's it's isn't it the second highest produce behind Mike Adams okay now they do not know but it I can imagine it it's a fantastic game
    192:42
    nice nice work with a spinner my mark trying to position him position himself in the wind he's had he's played this game on three rounds I believe so yeah I think I know he's he's playing well he's making quick work of the of the of the shots and he's already got four of them what Oh every time he calls me trying to cause finish up again 20,000 units sold first game with memory stuff to collect so gene was telling me that Geno's like the year and everything of every game so he told me like have he went down the list of every year of every game that is here on display today but he did say this was the first one with carryover so that's with that
    193:47
    it's not not much going right for Mike but he's still still on four points he technically cannot win it but you know second place was still really good everyone's gonna be fighting now that's why you don't go on the fly carryover was the modes of the 70s that's what's the modes of the 2010s is that the everything is a super jackpot every shots of Jack fine
    194:40
    Wow so we're on ball to you now and this is getting tight marks in the lead with 57,000 I think he has the best progress to four balls yep so if you can just get some you know hit the eight and get some multipliers going it'd be pretty good trouble mm-hmm that was nice that was I thought this thing was gunfire yeah all right got the falling a little rip that was nice there he didn't call it that time No exactly okay that's three thousand worth Oh action button you mean
    195:43
    not good not good not good okay nice lunch control that okay all right people all right down okay all right picked off another one there oh
    195:59
    thank you slam on the side of the machine oh boy I don't know if you could see that on the camera but you smacked the right side of the machine it's a great job people you know and you want to take this directly nice a little nudge ones coming down from the right-hand side does a tongue no don't help okay oh oh I think you did tilt I didn't hear the chimes I guess I saw the you know didn't make a huge difference I mean he needs first
    196:48
    all right down lucky horse you there huh just making sure you got that five ball again know that the stripes version of oh that's that's all right survives it and it's a nice finish yeah all right does he got the toughest one the 15 is very Mohan I spin the 3x oh okay that's gonna be 45,000 and bonus puts him right it vaults him the first place oh don't get me started on play field multipliers I do not like them they make every game in every mode homogeneous because you can't make anything worth more because the play field multiplier will kill it I
    197:36
    will try the same slap did not get it so 31,000 so he's in third right now he did not win mark marker gene are fighting it out whoever wins between the two of them will win Arcade Expo 5 Spring Classic I'm trying to think to get the multiplier instead of the know you always want those yeah saying you always want the kickback yeah if you happen to get both that's right so the other thing is because he completed all the top lanes that arrow is oh we did get okay nice that the arrow that was roving at the top also gives you your candy cane stack so it's your multiplier and whatever else uh so 122 that will give a little bit of work to gene
    198:40
    so if Mike can pull off first year he'd be tied with Jay at 5-4 third great job there and he gets it off the pop so so again the the roving arrow at the top will award that so you're just going spinner all that your not worried about the candy cane you're just trying to nudge it to the right roll over all right wait a way to be calm it I mean it also works you're not gonna argue with it or complain but that
    199:18
    takes a breather here so I took my game when you're up to confer extreme for the tournament that was cruel and we just so for the Powerball in it have been this bumper I made it so it was a dead zone up here at the top that wouldn't kick a little wouldn't kick over Wow really cruel we're I'm not that cruel these days I was gonna say like that oh man oh well that gives us our winner no wait yeah yep yep mark Gilmore wins the Spring Classic at Arcade Expo 5 congratulations oh wow came down to the lash eyed one or two more balls and he would have four bonus and he would have would have taken it yeah great great showing no great showing so again I don't want to do math on here but mark will we'll have eight points second place will be Jude Jean with six third will be Jay with five and fourth place will be Mike launch there we go there are the final results on screen
    200:33
    mark Jean J and Mike excellent so it's your camera on the where they're gonna be doing the presentation I can put one on there Megan if they present in front of 8-ball immediately calling his wife to tell her I am a winner and I'm going home with a trophy and a small wad of cash yeah the only thing to do is to take a picture in front of the game that you won the tournament on what is showing it's got to be huge for those eight he comes in ranked for four thousand so he's probably played in a handful of tournaments you know puts a few dollars in and and goes home with an amazing trophy look at all this he's happy
