I agree with excluding Rome and Civil War but not SLF.
Let's see if we get any other opinions.
Airstrike is high scoring, but there are other sources of points on the table. I cycled through assignment ranks when I logged my best scores. And you have to be extremely good at airstrike to actually make full use of it - most players aren't there.
Earth Defense also has a very difficult to attain kickback, and getting extra balls is nigh impossible. The play time on ED is reasonable. So that's a plus.
And bottom line is that Earth Defense is fun (imo), and a great looking table.
Also Rome isn't banned currently. Doesn't look like it will be.
I'm not entirely sure, but my current feeling about optimal strategy is to actually do a Captain America WM first, then focus on Iron Man Direct Hit and Super Combos. I think this constitutes fairly balanced play. Nearly all modes end up getting some action (there aren't many modes in total, though).
It's definitely a rough table, but I don't think it deserves to be disqualified. It's certainly no worse than Earth Defense, in my opinion.
Very few people seem to exploit that strategy, but that doesn't really make it right.
It's also possible to achieve good scores by repeating WMs and/or Iron Man Direct Hits, but that's much harder and doesn't seem like it can compete with sinkhole spam. Although the sinkhole scoring only works for 3 balls. The other 3 have to be something else.
