I found a couple interesting things in this game today.
First - I managed to get like ten jackpots in one shot. The ball did not go all the way to the "catcher" but hovered right near it in a way that confused the game into providing extra jackpots before it "un-lit" it. This was a fluke and I'm not sure how viable it would be to go for.
Second and much more important - It's possible to farm skill shots over and over again. When you drain with the ball saver active it plays a little animation. If you tilt during this animation your ball will be fully reset (not auto launched from the saver) and let you go for the skill shot again without costing you a ball. You can chain this indefinitely (as long as you drain before the saver disappears) on ball 3 for 3mm per shot. With a decent success rate I think it would clock in around 30 minutes or less. It's not the fastest strategy but it is pretty easy.
Those are awesome finds!! It would definitely take some time to make that second strat work, but this isn’t a glitchless category so I say go for it if you want to!
The ideal "route" is drain balls 1 and 2 intentionally to get to ball 3 for the fast multi ball and farm jackpots from there. This is obviously MUCH harder to pull off on BB and Wizard but it works great for Joker, sub3 for that table.
BB is a problem. The skill shot farm works but occasionally it takes too long to drain and you risk losing the ball.
Wizard does not have that problem. Very fast no-risk drains. Plus the plunge hits the cumulative red arrow loop for the extra points and eventual 10mm. BB also hits the loop.
My theory for a solid safe-ish run is:
Joker - ball 3 jackpot farm BB - play ball 1 normally, when you drain naturally, skill shot farm ball 2. If that drains then skill shot farm ball 3 Wizard - skill shot farm ball 3
Even if I don't run it, hopefully this will be helpful for someone.
Hey guys ! I did 2min18 on JJ XD And 39min11s for the 3 Of course it wasn't recorded TT But I Will come back soon ;)
P.S. do you know differences between usa and eu versions ? Usa multiball is 2 balls and eu 3 balls, another things knew ?
I believe the difference in 3 balls instead of 2 is the only difference in the EU version. I don't know of any other differences.
Hey guys, how can we call the endless skill shot freeze tilt trick ? And create a category for the speedrun, I tried it, it take almost 25min to speedrun the game. A New category avoid to annihilate a pleasant run in no trick category Thx for your reply
Insanely not reproductible technique for speedrun, but very interisting multiple jackpot when 2 balls in the same time goes to the both holes for jackpot
PS : differences between versions : Jap and USA 2 multiballs EU 3 multiballs Jap Joker goal 100.000.000 points, USA and EU 60.000.000
