Dead Flip Metallica tutorial stream teaching game rules, mechanics, and strategy.
Dead Flip maintains all machines with no ball save and maximum difficulty (tight outlanes) to prepare players for tournament conditions
high confidence · We keep all of our machines super hard. No ball save, no extra balls. We move the lanes up as high as we can... so when we go out on the field and we're playing in tournaments, we're not surprised at the difficulty level.
Extra balls on Metallica can be achieved by hitting the snake enough times or hitting the coffin enough times
medium confidence · Extra ball, I believe, is achieved either hitting the snake enough times or hitting the coffin enough times. I'm not entirely certain.
Metallica's Sparky multiball is accessed by hitting Sparky from the left flipper repeatedly using post-passing technique
high confidence · My primary objective on this game is i just beat the crap out of sparky to get that multi-ball going... It's a lot easier to hit Sparky with the left flipper. Okay. And post passing works really well on this.
The loop pass technique on Metallica reduces ball momentum by dropping it during a power shot to prevent drain
high confidence · you could try loop passing, which is, so if you power shot this and it comes around, if you do like a cute little drop catch, when it's zooming around real quick, what it does is you take a lot of the momentum out, and it just falls over here.
Crank It Up mode requires hitting all four major toys (Sparky, Snake, Grave Marker, and Coffin) in sequence
high confidence · you have to hit all four of the major toys a lot in order to get crank it up mode. It's a little hairy.
“We keep all of our machines super hard. No ball save, no extra balls. We move the lanes up as high as we can. And typically just as hard as possible because when you go to a tournament, you don't know what the condition of that game is going to be.”

Host (Jack)@ 7:46 — Core strategy advice for Metallica gameplay
“If you see Nick and I play, we're always pushing the slingshot into the ball to get it the hell back out and in this area because it's a hell of a lot easier to save with the flipper.”
Host (Jack)@ 31:15 — Advanced technique for managing dangerous ball positions
“Never gloat while you're playing because you drain immediately. And don't tell the opposite player they're doing real well.”
Host (Jack)@ 18:31 — Tournament/casual play etiquette and jinx behavior
“I have a tournament to go to tonight. My reflexes are a little dull right now. I don't know what the heck's going on.”
