Thing Table Skill Shot, how??

[GFunk]

I've read the in game guide of how to get the 1m, 2m, 3m skill shot from the plunger over and over and I still don't get it.

There's times I managed to score it over and over, then can't get it again for game after game, doing the same thing.. I think!

Is it anything to do with the lights up the right hand side? I've been convinced it is, then convinced it isn't.

Can anyone explain it to a pinball noob? I don't know all the pinball table terminology, but I'm trying!

Thanks

Hi GFunk, at the top right where 'MAC' flashes, I wait till the letter C flashes twice then fire it...

Hope this helps.

I think your shot must hit when the lights reach the end in sync. What I would like to know is how the Duke Nukem one works? I have not been able to get it at all.

Hi element, I learned the Duke Nukem skill shot by watching a review by Crowcontinnum, when the ball is close to the grey brick wall thing you press both flippers together and it rolls to left side. I cant do it everytime though.

I get lucky with The Thing. I shoot it randomly because I use such a low camera angle.

Yeah, with Duke you need both flippers. I kept trying to do it with one for a while and of course that wasn't working.

There are like trap doors you push up when you hit the flippers so the ball doesn't drop.

Oh my god! It works! Thank you!

Man I've played this table 127 times and had no idea it was anything to do with the MAC light, been obsessing over the lights at the side. Came to close to wanting to peel my face off!

Thank you! THANK YOU! My face is saved!

In regards to the duke skill shot, the gun needs to be fully charged with a little bit extra juice in addition to timing the 2 part mini bridge connection (the longer you can charge the gun, the better the chances the ball makes it to the other side). It is with out a doubt one of the harder skill shots to do (at least in my opinion it is).

Also, ive found hitting the first part of the connecting bridge on the right side first followed by the left part right after (by this i mean, hit the button for the right piece first followed by hitting the button for the left piece right after with no more then a .1 second delay in between it) can help a little bit as well in the event the ball is lacking speed slightly.

I've submitted thorough 30-60fps Skillshot tests on Duke, definitely an issue with extreme speed variation.

i guess i should say i play at 60 fps with vsync enabled after seeing matt's comment since i dont know what element's settings are at. So not sure if my comment will help due to the settings i use and the fact i use keyboard to play with.

It's tougher at 60 than 54fps as the ball exits at reduced pace. I haven't tested every other feature on the table and presume 60 is intended. Probably needs fixing.
