Today I wanted to go over the new Ambush mode. It's not new, it's always been in the game, but it's worth playing. Hey, Birdbookie. How you doing? Welcome. Alright, so... Don't play with your food. Yeah, let me just get this started here. Ambush is now... You can earn up to a maximum of 720 million points in it. So... And the way you do that is you can earn multipliers in it now. So I'll run through it. Basically, this game's set to competition mode. So there's certain rules now. It doesn't start on the first successful shot. So basically, the ambush works. You shoot the U-turn. Shoot the U-turn. Everything lights up white. You shoot a shot. If you're in regular play, it's random which of those shots will start an ambush. In competition, first one doesn't start it. And then you have to shoot the U-turn a couple more times. White shots again. Shoot a white shot. And that starts ambush. and then you're in the blue and white phase. I forget what Dwight calls it in the notes. I think that's it. Basically, there's a red shot on the scoop, on the U-turn shot, that locks in the value, and then the right ramp will cash it out right after that. However, you don't want to cash it out. You want to shoot the other shots, build it up, and kind of alternate between the two phases because that's what awards you a flamethrower and then the multiplier. So you can get all three multipliers inside of ambush. Yeah. It hits. Thank you. Raffle, raffle. There's no raffle. There's no raffle. It would be fun to speed run. Just see how quickly, you know, you can get the 720. Oh, there's a shot that didn't register. And I tweaked that switch, too. Slow rollers always, always register. See, I could hear the, you heard the switch sound there. There are two. There are two. That's three. This should be a secret Tony Hawk clip. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Wow, that took me, that took me, you know, a second longer than it should have. yeah i had a 690 earlier i want to get the full 720 collect it's not hard to do our famous last word you know the question is what do you do in the competition are you going to risk this or not because there's risk involved, without question. But I think it's an easy way to get to your multipliers. It's probably safer than bashing on the hunter and Boba Fett targets. Because you don't have to worry about building. You can just shoot the red, lock in, lock it, then shoot another shot, lock it, shoot another shot, just keep alternating and not worry about building at all. Although that's kind of what I'm doing here. I'm not really building much. But I should, I'm going to start locking in stuff. Maybe that was my problem why I couldn't, I didn't get to 720 last time. Or maybe before I shoot the red shot each time, I need to make sure that I build first. Can I get that? Yeah. Alright, there's another build. That's my multiplier award there. So the next one will come with a multiplier also. So this is an important one to build up. That was interesting. Not expected. If I can get this up to 80 million, I'll be locked in at the high value. Or maybe it's more than that. It must be more than that. Alright, let's do it again. not locked in high enough all right now we're at the max multiplier at 180 there's my max value i can shoot right now there we go all right 2x there we go we got one of them i just need the flamethrower and if i get it before the ramp expires there we go there's a 720 Alright. Now we can start the multiplier here. I mean the multiball, not the multiplier. I already got the multiplier running. Pirates multiball is okay. So we'll take that. Woohoo! Now you got 6x running in pirates. Or whatever you bring in. already done and the flamethrower on the shots I didn't shoot already but although I'm missing everything Bye bye. Bye bye. Okay. I was going for the ramp there. You should have left me in prison! Uh-oh. Multipliers. Multipliers are dead. Damn it. I lost them. I wasn't paying attention. Don't forget to hit the Boba Fett targets occasionally to extend your multipliers. All right. Oh, come on. Got one. Only one. All right. All right. Might as well go through the rest of the game now. Barf emoji, huh? but now the the important thing is i've got my scope and my uh hunter ready to go so i can build up the multipliers again and i have to play hunter to light my next multiball so let's do that hunter i hope this works mando keep going Ideally I play Scope now. Get something. I usually go for the middle target, but I'll take that one. Alright, and now I've got the Hurry Up, which could be very valuable with the 6x. Before I start it, I'll hit that last Boba Fett target that I need. I'll hit both of them actually. It's lit. I'm gonna be greedy here. Paltry multiplier-less points. Exactly. Okay. Alright. What's fun is I've got a... How can I tell how many more I have shots here? Because the more multipliers you have, the more shots you have to hit on these. Which is just crazy to me. But I'd like to actually multiply the final one if I can. Because I have a flamethrower. Oh, that was it. Damn. Okay. All right. Sad million. All right. You have a choice. Yeah, Outlane Ball saves. I always do Outlane Ball saves. What else is there? Encounter, Razor Crest. I can hit Razor Crest enough. Add a Ball. Armor is actually very valuable. If I already had an Outlane Ball save, I'd pick Armor for sure. White Heel. Heel is lit. Alright, Mission. Mudhorn. that is where you'll find your why am i what am i doing what backhand to that i don't mean to do that it's weird do it again oh so much for that lane save yeah it wouldn't have been 100 million ish with the play exactly but and it would have gotten me the achievement too because I think there's an achievement that's uh collect 75 million on a hurry up I have a focal point where a ball passes to know when to flip or live catch um not that I think of um at this point for me it's all like second hand it's just it's muscle memory when I come to those situations I'll try and point them out because honestly I don't know no multipliers it's sad now um but I do have I can play this to get one I mean that thinking like that, Fliptronic, it's more about the, um, it's more about the the loop passes. That's what matters more on the flipper position, I think. You just have to be good. Alright. Eh. One try for that. I don't care about accuracy. I probably should, but I don't. I still haven't played This is the Way, so... I'm curious. I need to remember where the extra balls are in this game, because I don't... I can't remember where you get them. Two more Delay Rangers. Let's just kind of move through the missions, though. Try and advance through everything. Well, there's an extra ball. I'm going to try and go deep in this game so I'm going to go for the extra ball one from starting mode and you can buy one from best car well here's the best car oh good that's good to hear good choice good choice huh get the extra ball they're taking the shutdown let's move so my game has a the um the orbit does not feed cleanly it there's a rubber post there that i need to move or i need to um oh this is ice spider i really did want the multipliers for this one um i've got a flamethrower let's at least take that but it sometimes bounces off this uh you know one of those post rubbers and sometimes it doesn't so and i can't explain why it does sometimes and not other times and i I missed my upper playbook on that. There's my action ball. And that's a mode shot, I believe. Alright, now the unlimited supers. getting greedy here trying to back in that one i missed the first one yep total greed that's all right Good number of points there. Still an omission, aren't I? Alright. That should do it. I haven been watching Andor I need to I need to I haven been watching much to be honest Although I did watch some of um Cabin of the Curiosities Guillermo del Toro Just, freaky stuff. I mean... I mean, really freaky, freaky stuff. It is very good. I'm not going to get the topper strategy. This game won't be here too much longer, I don't think. I have my full complement of multipliers now, though. I do need to play a hunter, though, to be able to play another multivolt. Or buy it at the shop, right? I wouldn't spend $2,000 on a topper anyway Even if I was keeping the game for a while No way Yeah, two grand I always like accidentally hitting the Boba Fett targets because it... Ah, damn you, switch. Oh, maybe it reds. Actually, reds. Never mind. I take my damn you switch back. Alright. How do you complete Hunter? So you hit the three targets to light Hunter. That lights one of the inlanes. After you roll over the lit inlane, the opposite orbit will light. You shoot that, and then you have to shoot the orbit you didn't shoot. So, like, if I roll over the right inlane, I shoot left orbit, then right orbit. And those targets time out at some point now, so I actually do need to hit that shot. I want to... Oh, that's trouble. There we go. Okay, so... Well, I've got the foundry. I'm going to take the foundry while it's lit there. This you must determine. um this you must determine we'll get another outland save even though i didn't use it last time how's the tennis elbow it's getting better but it's still not great that hurts i shouldn't be playing them all right all right so here's hunter find the jedi i have a bad feeling about the left ramp that's lit right now orange that'll actually give me more best card it'll increase the best card that i collect if i finish it now it's the right ramp that would do that since i already shot the left or the right or the left over it completes it and that lights my center shot for the hurry up but let's take scoop let's start a mission and another founder i don't play tennis it's pinball elbow, but who wants to call it pinball elbow? What do I want? Smart bomb, flamethrower, no. Add a ball. Add a ball is good, but you know what? The armor adds the ball save. It gives you a lot more ball save time during the multiples. You will totally call it pinball elbow. It was after Expo. Those games just killed me. Okay, my multiplier is getting ready to run out, I think, so I'm just going to tap those targets a bit. Unfortunately, I don't think I can see that the timer for the multiplier is running, and I had to do that. That may kill me. Settle down. Settle down. No. This is a bad time to shoot up top because it's the playfield at maximum pitch. all right pinball pinball i think i moved this kid with that tilting huge destruction alright there we go that's perfect that thing is flat and I'll still mess this up by now but you see that thing it flew over everything I gotta finish the encounters at some point so I gotta play him That thing has a plexi cover over it too. Which is why that really surprised me. I held my flip rep. That was the problem there. Don't hold your flip rep when you're up in the upper. 36 seconds left on the multiplier. And I wasn't paying attention and shot it up there with the thing at the maximum pitch again. oh no all right wait wait wait wait wait wait wait now do i have a shooting strategy that works well just just don't uh don't don't keep your flippers up it's like you want to impulse flipper them just just little by little keeping them up is what kills you the pro is is easier I find. My multiplier's getting a little low here. Oh no, I missed the targets. That's not good. Not good. Because my multiplier's going to time out here. It's going to die. Okay. I don't know what I saved it by, but not much. 30 seconds. One of the second hurry-ups is worth more than the first hurry-up. I haven't paid attention to that. But I want to extend my time a bit more if I can. So that I can last through the hurry-ups. Thank you for the outlay. And I'm dead. Yeah, you can extend the life of the multiplier to both pet targets. I assume that bringing a scope in or finishing a hunter will also do it. But I never go for that. Why don't we skip that? Okay. Shoot again! My hurry up's ready. My encounter is not, though. So I actually want a super skill shot. Super skill shot to try and light my encounter, so I don't have to shoot the left ramp so many times. So the super skill shot is hold the left flipper down until it hits the C switch. It comes down. You want to shoot the right ramp, the scoop, the right ramp, and then the, in this case, I want the left ramp to get that super skill shot. Super skill shot. One shot. You're not done yet. Keep it up. Oh, no. And then shoot the right ramp. You'll get it next time. There's a bit of a grace period there. If I had shot that, it may have given it to me. So now I'm going to be forced to just shoot the left ramp over and over to light. Light that. Let's finish this. Hurry up. X-multiball will be lit or ready to light. We can move on. I have Scope and Hunter. I could get another 6X Multiplier run here. Probably want to take a chance. Let me get the multiball closer. Even though it's a Pirate's multiball. Not Pirate. It's the one where you just have a single Jackpot at the end. I can't remember the name right now. This is the one I never want to play in competition. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Okay. All right. That was dangerous. I want to see if everything's looking all right. Yeah. I have 209 drop frames at some point during this. The 4K recording really taxes the system. Really, really, really. I thought for sure I was going to be fine with this new setup. I'm surprised that the 3060 is having trouble with it. Okay. let me get a mission running and I'll get the multiball so I can finish both at the same time and I was a dummy and I decided to hit Hunter although I can start that during Hunter can't I and then I can start the multiball then I can shoot the final Hunter shot or I can die alright 209 is nothing. 209. 209. What's 209? Sorry, I missed something. Almost finished it. Moth Gideon was an ISP officer during the purge. I got a ball stuck at the top I just want to kind of keep it there I would prefer to avoid any further violence and encourage a moment of consideration it appears we are trapped I will initiate self-destruct sequencing just as you betrayed our business arrangement i would gladly break any promise and watch you die in my head what i do now out of all you may think you have some idea what you're in possession of but you do not i mean this this jackpot the super jackpot this has a cap so oh well I advise disgrace magistrate grief Carga. Wow, that was nice. Nice, Jualito. You have something I want. It means more to me than you will ever know. Awesome. I believe 50 is the cap. Dorian! Stick with the sub! Excellent! Yeah, there's a 50. I got a Mando a while ago, but I haven't played it much on stream, I guess. Sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound like that. I traded my Toy Story for this. Because I just couldn't stand Toy Story. Oops. So I am out of... I'm going to get a single-time Super Jackpot right here. for 50 million super jackpot i don't mess it up there we go okay aim carefully oh i missed my scope i missed the scope all right so now it's um another hunter to light precious cargo uh missions slightly I like those odds. I still need to play my encounter. It's not a keeper. It is not a keeper. More like boar story, yeah. Your brain just dies like it doesn't see. Oh, that... When I play that, that's just wild. Three more to start. See, that's... So many... So many shots to light my next encounter. and then the final wizard mode needs even more shots and that's dead not quite not quite I still have the mission I can light too sure that give me that wizard mode I still want to play my final encounter Encounter's at land. Stop. Stop doing that. Oh no. You know, a lot of manas I don't see this being as dangerous as this one. This one, it likes to just hit the sling and then go left out lane. That's why I'm going, oh no! It would not be the best stained glass challenge. No! It's fun. It's a fun mode, but no. I'll be picking up brush tomorrow, so that'll be fun. Okay, held my flipper up. Why is that there? This is the stage of the game that I'm not too fond of because I feel like I have to grind out stuff to progress. In the house, would you do it? Tomorrow? Yes, tomorrow. Tomorrow. And then I've got Indy in the garage to play at some point. I've got to get that in here. For the torture stream. See, I held the left flipper up That's why I died there I'm excited to play Rush Especially after I saw, I watched Raven's last stream on it And he started doing some Just shooting combos at one point Had a massive combo value So I really want to see what I can build that up to. Alright. So now, I'll shoot the left ramp five more times, I think, to light it. Let's see. Yeah. I'm going to light it just so I can have all the... Oh, you... Damn it. See, you scored 75 million in a single hurry-up. I need to do that. Do you rather get a maiden than a rush? Yeah, I agree with that. I do agree with that. Maiden's a fantastic game. I'm hoping to get a premium off the next run. For sure. It's for the permanent collection. Dos. What do you mean by two? Dos, dos, dos. What's a permanent collect? It's a game that's not going to leave here for a long time. It's looking like all Elwins eventually. Like Deadpool's going to go soon. Guns N' Roses is out of here. And then I think Pirates is taking a hike also. why not bow yeah true there is another maiden run coming sometime next year all right i want that super skill shot i want the super skill shot so i don't have to shoot that ramp so many times unfortunately my balls are that's not gonna do it oh no see there's that give that back there's that grace period i was talking about right there But this won't be... That's too far away. Right, yeah. Ooh, gosh. How many more? Two more. Okay, that's not too bad. Let's get the mountain ski pass here. Kind of want to play You Have What I Want because that's the one I haven't played that much. Pirates stayed quite a while. It did. There's too many good games now in general. Oh, I need to shoot that a lot, don't I? Three more. Oh, just get my stupid shots. See, this is the grindy part. Well, that was dumb. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Alright, now we're all lit everywhere. You have what I want. How much did I move this game? Oh, that's right. It holds him up there. Totally forgot about this. I should get a free war. Yeah, I will not get the last... The last, uh... Wizard mode and pirate. I'm done waiting for it. I am tired of waiting. Three more! Two more! Come on, ball. Stop. Stop. Just stop. Stop. You're not stopping. There. All right. Now left ramp, I believe. One more. This is a very generous ball. 467 whoppers in 27 days. Damn. I have someone else in the there's no one else I know of that has a pirates I was the last one shoot left ramp to complete loop level yeah I'm gonna say that balls on so stay up there they suck like that I got greedy. There's no time here, so... Just wait. Just wait. this has spoilers in it if you haven't seen mando i just realized that of course it does though that's kind of a silly thing to say isn't it What am I doing now? It's, it's, uh, okay. So now I actually need to shoot the, uh, yellow shots, don't I? Yeah, because this is just increasing the back row. Shots to complete four. Okay. This is the phase that everyone at the tournament was, it was, yeah, was just shooting over and over again to get the add-on balls. That exploit is gone now, thankfully. I could park... Where are we counting down? Oh, damn it, I didn't even realize there was a timer. I'm not going to finish this stage. There's no way. I need to pay attention more, apparently. Oh, it's just these shots, the yellow shots. Okay, those aren't a timer. Not the whole phase itself. Shows you how many times I've played this mode. Three more. Two more. Oh no. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Damn it. So now I have to go back and do them all over again? Or does it just take me back one phase? Let's find out. Just one shot, okay. Okay. This is the same thing where I have to shoot the, probably have to shoot the other shot. Ooh, another multiplier. Oh no, that's just extended by. Oh no, that's just extended mine. Oh yeah. Fine. You can stay up there. Boo! Boo! Thanks for the prime sub! One more, one more. Then get it. Death, death. There we go. Oh, is that him? Look at this. Hi, remember for once. Yeah, Luka. I'm never greedy, right? Is this starting? So I'm going straight into precious cargo, I think. Is that what this is? No, phase four. I thought because I shot at the middle. I don't know this thing. Two more. One more. One more. Okay. Nice to meet you. Ha ha ha. I figured it was gonna go straight into this once I had it. Alright. What am I doing on this? This is green shots, alright? Alright. Alright. Scoop. Scoop. Scoop. Scoop. Scoop. Scoop. Scoop. Scoop. Fleet lid shots for timing, Mike. Then what's the top? Do I need those shots up there? Shooting them since they're there. The man who left me behind is now my savior. Alright. That flipper died, so I assume I did something I was supposed to. Alright, I gotta look at the screen and see what I'm doing. Shoot left ramp and complete encounter playthrough. Okay. Kind of okay. No, don't do that. So what are all the green shots doing? They just raising the value for up here? Oh, it's a roving target. Oh, that was weird. That was unexpected. Try again, try again. Do flashing shots. Yes. You have a potential problem. He has escaped. Shoot left ramp and completely counter-flip. More encounters. Left scoot. Alright. I see green shots again. Let's just shoot them while that boss is running. Sure I don't have the other multipliers running. Oh, this looks like orbit. I need to shoot the orbits, right? For the child? Right, right, right, right, right. Very thematic. Shoot the shots. No. Alright, good shot. Let's go. Well, that was dumb. Alright Shoot the center ramp I did already I did Alright what's left Oh that's That drained me I should go back there Wait I shot the center ramp already though Okay all right last one i like those odds i've got a ball savior thankfully i was getting a little worried there that i was gonna mess that up somehow all right I like those on flashing yellow shots flashing yellow shots okay Okay, phase one complete. Probably gonna do that too much now. Gonna overuse the whole full screen thing, aren't I? I'll wait till the end. Alright, same shots? Same shots. Same shots. That's the same shot again. Into the scoop again? Oh, okay. So the saves are the same as the last one? Okay. Next time you star wipe. I don't know how long this is going to be. If only I had played these modes more than what I have. More flashing shots. I have a ball safe though. Alright. Alright. Right orbit. That's all that's left it looks like for now. And I got robbed. Thank you Blanche. Wait for the plunge, now shoot it. Oh, missed. There it is. Go, go, go. Okay. to my ship with the kid and you're gonna let it happen go go go okay all right scoop no hold my shots oh it's another phase because i've got a ball save again mission master So this is just points. Victory laps. You know I feel like I can't, on this game I can't flail away and hit shots. A lot of games I can kind of find them. This one, I can find the center. I can find that right ramp, but the rest of the shots are kind of hard for me when I'm just flailing instead of aiming. All right, ball save's gone. Now what? Super spinner. Armor, more ball save. Oh, it's wizard frenzy. I saw the countdown too late. I didn't realize what was going on here. Uh-oh. Oh, no. I didn't finish it. Oh, no. Maybe I did. I finished it. Okay. Yeah, the spinner. I was going to start shooting the spinner. It looked like it was going to be worth quite a bit. Let me move this back. There. Ooh, big bonus, too. Alright. This is the way. Complete lit shots to light. This is the way. Really? I have not played this is the way yet, so... Like, never. I was going to try and be safe and ski past to get that right ramp. Eh, that worked. I drained last time I got here. Before, you know, with the lid. It was crazy. Backhand. Thanks for the prime sub. Get your way through three stages and earn your signet. Earn my signet. Each with a bonus round. Sage needs five shots to complete. Okay, blah, blah, blah. Okay. Do it fast. Shoot the shots fast, not slow. I will eliminate the enemy, and you will save. Alternate. Surrender, or face the consequences. that is where you'll find your quarry okay upper playful rewards here in the frenzy bun huh I believe mini playful tutorial multiplier okay Okay. Okay. Got a multiplier. See that. I'm not paying attention to my fall save. It's just... Okay. Alright. I missed. Okay. Same thing. Now we get a bonus round, right? Alright. So get back up top again. Got it. Back up top. Up top. Up top. No up top today. I need to just let these drain. They didn't want to drain even. That's great. There we go. Got one up. Took a while. Took too long to get it up there. I didn't finish it. Alright. Yeah, I'm not going to have enough time. Oh! Ah! That one wasn't as good. in which I survive. So many lights. At least out there we got a shot. Thank you for bringing peace to my valley. Okay, another one. for the battles ahead game gets kind of buggy after signal click ah but hopefully it's um that's all been fixed hopefully bonus round all right mini playbook ah nice that's what i needed earlier Too many balls! There we go. Got another one up there. Okay. Only one target, huh? Ah, and I missed it! Alright. Do it again. Got it. Okay. Zero Axe? okay you've earned your sickness all right this is the way so that mean it can go up to 7x play field now now what that way you do You just missed something, Dalton. I'm just moving my map here. Okay. What do I do now? I could play Ambush again with another plus one X with a Signet. Can I double it then? Do it again. Do it again. No. yeah i'm trying to wonder try i could go for ambush again and try let's see it was 720 the first time so i could be 1.4 billion theoretically i'm gonna go to the foundry first though because uh who knows what no i'm not because i missed completely let's see what i can buy got lots of best car imagine if the internet went bad thanks dalton okay so you can only buy the extra wall once huh i can add a multiplier um like razor crest razor crest just to kind of get it moving no no no um um i'm gonna do the multiplier why not because i think i have scope ready to go Yeah, I do have scope ready to go. Oh, no. Yeah, that's typical. How many shots do I need for the multiball? I play an Ice Spider that's, you know, big. Come on, don't do that, game. I can't look up and see. Tie Fighter more. Two more. Okay, two more. Jesus, give me the rain over there. One more to light it. It's lit. Man, stop it! It doesn't want me to play anymore, I think. It's interesting seeing the blue lights here. I'm not... Alright, there's my last scope. Let's go in the foundry again before we start. Sure, why not. Jack of all trades. Woohoo! Another one. You have a choice. I'm going to do the add-on. No, I don't have a flamethrower, do I? Oh, I can do both. Let's do both. Add-on ball and flamethrower. Excellent choice. I was going for that so that I could change the multiball. I didn't want to play the second one with that. Oh, well. No. greed yes of course always greed still a decent game i think well done all right enter your initials see what greed will get you all right now i now now we can go achievement hunting if i want let me take a look at what I need thanks backhand
