We all know direct shots to standups generally equal death…
With that in mind, what are your most satisfying standup shots? Grazes, accidents, richochets count, and best of all, a clean shot back to a trap counts 2x if you don’t drain!
My top 3 are as follows:
Big Bang on Dialed In.
Grazing the center standup into the left ramp on TZ while both clock modes are running. (ding ding ding!)
Mode shot spot target on Road Show. (just a cool design again from Lawlor)
On WOF, if the Lonnie target is lit for something good (Trip, 500K, EB) and you have the ball cradled on the left flipper, you can bank a shot off the B or A standup on the right into the Lonnie standup. NES taught me that one.
Lawlor really does have some great, highly satisfying standups! In addition to the ones already mentioned, Carry Passengers in Taxi is a fun, challenging shot, and I love the Train Wreck / Jackpot in Addams, both the way it is at the end of a long lane, all by itself, and for the great sounds and callouts you get when you hit it.
The Big Bang in Dialed In is my #1 as well. I’d also give honourable mentions to the Snikt target in Deadpool (standup into a ramp!) and the Gravestone shatz stand-up in Iron Maiden for their innovation.
Backhand to the 4-5-6 target bank on F-14 for a ricochet into the lock. Extra satisfying if you time it up to hit the roving lit number since that will light the loop shots for advance bonus X which you get an immediate opportunity to collect if lock isn’t lit.
