That’s factory behavior, but I’m referring to game-to-game carryover for the jackpot value. It’s a really good match-play machine, and really bad best-game machine.
Nice game list but I have to question the Full Throttle selection.
A super low production game 99% of players outside the sanctum have never touched and have no clue how to play.
Especially on the card system it seems like an odd choice. In finals, the few who have access to one are at a serious advantage. I doubt anyone will select it in finals anyhow, so why not replace it with something people will want to play?
Low production yes. But there are tutorials out there for it. It has a simple enough rule set you won’t miss out on crazy strategies not having lots of time and deep knowledge of it. It’s a fun game and gets flack from many people who have never played it. I like making people play games n that category.
5 years and no repeat games. Plan on keeping that tradition going.
Given the general aversion to out of control games in Finals, I’m pretty sure Full Throttle will be a finals mainstay. Barring a few odd moments like most games, the game is all about being accurate and drilling your shots. Like @JSwain said, there isn’t an oppressive strategy; just getting into a flow and shooting well.
No stretch. We figured out a few glitches we were having due to bad micro usb cables. It was setup in freeplay at Allentown for the whole show and I never had to touch the game once and it’s currently on location at flipside bar on westerly with no issues as well.
I’d also say that people probably have more access and knowledge to full throttle than Viper which we used last year with a run of 438 in 1981. How many of these actually still exist? And same for dragonfist we are also using this year. 301 made in 1981
Viper and Dragonfist can be boiled down to two or three objectives, though, which is a lot easier to pick up by watching or talking to other competitors than a modern DMD/LCD game.
