It’s horrible to play

Nah the StarWars one.

Yeah it's a pretty rough move. I agree!

I do the death save with my hips and jar the middle of the machine. Like a hip check in hockey.

It's easier to use your hips and then slap the side of the flipper left or right as the ball bounces and gets a hip shot in the front middle of the machine. You have to time is right but if you practice a lot you can time it right. This way your fingers are already on both flippers when it drains.

Be careful though because a full tilt will cause you to loose your bonus which is a big deal on some games like Indiana jones

Sounds kinky, I hope you mind you own business in the men's room.

@@M1Anut bruh 💀💀💀

check out pinballmap.com you can find all the tables near you

It made a comeback...no worries.

@@AzrialAlaria It seems to be doing well. I'll be 63 this October and still play pinball around 12 hours a day. My game is still intact.

@@parkerbohnn I'm 41, but same. I got good game!

Come to Colorado! We have a slew of youngins that'll give you a run for your money!

LMFAO XD haha same with me including the baked part 😂

Omg lol

I just tried some Zen tables on the Oculus Quest this Christmas.. Now that was fun!

I play digital pinball too (Pinball FX3) but when you have access to a handful of actual pinball machines at your work, you tend to prefer the real thing.

The slap save works! P

Doing that will straight up get you kicked out of most places

@@AzrialAlaria Not where I was. Lol.

Depending on where the tilt mechanism is set you can also use the bottom of the palms of your hands just above your wrist instead of using your fingers on the flippers. This works especially well in multiball on certain machines like Apollo 13. I still have hand speed as fast as the late Brue Lee and when I save a ball my fingers only come off the flippers by about one-quarter of an inch. I guarantee no one alive can save virtually anything without tilting the machine no matter what the tilt level is set at. You'd have to see it in super slow motion to even see the movement.

I've been learning off of him and I've most definitely improved my game to the point I'm getting on the boards. This is also being done in an area with a pinball league and very serious pinheads that play for hours on end. That's how I know I'm doing well!

It exists!

i do it too

Sounds like the place probably doesn't have a tech to do simple maintenance. The machines are built to take a bit of a beating. Manufacturers know people will nudge and rock the machine around to keep a ball in play. Sometimes stuff 'breaks' overtime from this, so if they don't have someone that knows how to make fixes, of course they're gonna hate people nudging their machine(s). Most places (at least here in Los Angeles) that have more than a handful of machines, have someone that can do simple maintenance and fixes, so they don't mind you rockin the machine around a bit. I've talked with many owners and bars in LA about their machines and they've all been really cool about nudging. One guy even told me to "feel free to beat the hell out of it.. it will give me something to do later if it fails."

nudging is cheating

@@JudgeSim2 nudging is not cheating, hush.

Cause you were at airport tavern in Tacoma. That’s not the place to be.

Anyone who tells you that doesn't want you to ACTUALLY play pinball. That is ALL part of the game.

If you habituate your reflexes to something, it can work. The geometry works against you though. For multiballs this will become a much bigger liability, as making a shot with one will give the others a large geometric window to drain through. As long as you're not haphazardly and constantly hitting flippers it's not a big wear concern. Much worse is the excessively long holds which can burn out flippers in a hurry.

@@DeezNutz-yg8io Thanks

@@johnebejer You're welcome! I didn't want to make the last post toooo long, but there *is* one time simultaneous flipping is useful, although it's less brain exercise. A few games have modes that swap the left and right flipper buttons! Simpsons comes to mind as one. I forget the mode name but it's a great way to break your brain! In a good way.

@@DeezNutz-yg8io Yes Ghostbusters has it too. Also the upper playfield on Haunted House.

@@DeezNutz-yg8io Mystery Spot! I suppose you can hit the flippers simultaneously to not break your brain, or actually flip both hands to be on opposite side flippers.

Digital Pinball, I'm a sucker for pinballs with more fantastical designs

@@BanjoKazooie0 Some of the new Stern machines ARE actually becoming that fantastical. Today's tech with pinball is fantastic!

Seems like cheating to me, I guess this is why I never liked pinball!

Hell yeah, but it's a great place to start! I was thinking I'd enjoy this even more if it was longer in length* and more sedately paced. Some nice camera work on the various techniques wouldn't go a miss either. *that's what she said.

I give good tips but I have to size up the player first. One most players miss is depending on the machine it makes more sense sometimes to move your head instead of your eyes to follow the ball. This is one just about everyone misses.

lmao. dude wanted tips on the soft plunge!

He tells you to cheat to win, what a douche.

Actually it isn’t.

@@reeseexplains8935 i would argue it shouldn't be allowed because it is damaging to the cabinet hardware - it degrades it over time ...

@@antigen4Nudging is a skill that people use to do well. Nudging SHOULD be allowed. Watch tournament videos because when players nudge, the commentators say “nice save” not “cheater”.

@@reeseexplains8935 He doesn't even know. Anyone who says that doesn't even WANT you to play pinball.

Nudging is totally legitimate. It's half the skill of pinball. If you don't do it, you'll have no chance in any competitive setting. There's not a single player in the top thousand in the world who doesn't do it.

yeahhh sorry, you just suck playing.

@@royvink9376 They're right. If you randomly hit the flippers, pinball is all luck. (Faint sounds of Laguardia starting a chainsaw with a laugh)

This is a COMMON misconception. There most certainly ARE skills to playing Pinball. I've watched people who have no clue what the hell they are even doing and lose all 3 balls in 30 seconds. Then I've watched the league players in my city play them... It's fucking night and day.

Some pinball machines I can play one ball without extra balls for at least three hours without draining or using any death saves.

I played one ball without extra balls on the Wipeout pinball machine for over 13 hours. No death saves tilt set to medium at a 6 and a half degree arc angle back to front.

Nudging is what separates the amateurs from the pros, it also applies to pinball.

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

Dude, learn history, nudging was part of playing pinball even before pinball machines had flippers. I get it if you’re physically disabled and can’t do it, but otherwise nudging is definitely a skill you need to have while playing!

That's like saying punching is cheating in boxing????? The Troll has failed !

At airport tavern in Tacoma wa I got yelled at for nudging 7/2019
