This can also help you get closer to Godzilla Multiball with each ramp shot.<br>-If you are close to a Multiball, Titanasaurus and Ebira can me more lucrative Battles than Gigan (also ramp can be harder in multiball as the other balls often get in the way. See Intermediate Strategy section for a great video on the Gigan Strategy).

Company<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gigan strategy is just one way, but a very popular one for good reason. Hitting the ramps is the safe since successful shots come back to your flipper; the ramps will count for hits on Gigan and damage to the upper floors of the building which will help set up your next Battle with a multiball. But you may need to change your strategy based on how the machine is playing though. For instance, a lot of Godzilla&#8217;s can be tough to make the left ramp.&#8211;if this is the case I&#8217;d avoid Gigan (and maybe even Megalon). Without hitting the ramps you can still focus on simpler things like the Godzilla and MechaGZ multiballs without stacking and still get a good score. One of the first things I do when approaching a GZ I haven&#8217;t played is to try hitting the ramps. The difficulty (sometimes it&#8217;s just that you might not be &#8216;feeling the shots&#8217;) should help you make a decision on your gameplan for the rest of the game. That said, if you are finding the ramps tough to hit on a GZ, you&#8217;re likely going to have a tougher game. Ebirah is a fun choice to pick as an alternate, especially for working towards Bridge Attack MB, but hitting the spinners is <strong>way<\/strong> more risky than a ramps. Gigan hits can all be to one ramp or the other as well, so you can focus on whatever ramp you are &#8216;feeling&#8217;. (Some Players will just focus on the right ramp and ski-jump to the left flipper and repeat. For me, I find on the (specific) GZ&#8217;s I&#8217;ve played that the ski-over can be just as dangerous as attempting the left ramp (which often has a safe-ish feed back to the left flipper on shots that don&#8217;t make it)). This is one of my favorite things about GZ, that there is many different choices to make based on the shots you are feeling comfortable with&#8211;thinking on the fly about such issues can be the difference in having a good game, especially on a set-up you are not familiar with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But returning to the Gigan strategy, following the events of The Pinball Company video (above), your Tier 2 Kaiju Battle will be lit&#8211;actually, even if you just do 50% damage to your 2nd Battle, the Tier 2 should be lit. The Tier 2 monsters have a lot of potential for points and progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tier 2 Battles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either of the King Ghidorah Battles seem to be the higher value modes of the 3 choices. Both are single ball modes and have a &#8216;fight or flee&#8217; options as you go (similar to Metallica modes). See the advanced (ADV) side of the score cards for reference on the respective Fight or Flee shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Megalon &amp; Gigan mode is a 2 ball mode. It seems more useful if you are playing for progress more than just points since Jackpot shots also advance your Power Ups. For an example of the gameplay <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LDJ-jkHsLJ8?t=2172\">watch the GOAT do it himself<\/a>. Power Ups don&#8217;t seem to have too much immediate score attached to them, but are prerequisites to modes like Monster Zero and Terror of Mechagodzilla (both need Level 4 or 8 to start).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:2px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"gameplay-vids\"><strong>Gameplay Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Godzilla Wizard Mode!?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SoZgZKZWWsY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">German only, but great gameplay and technique video even if you can&#8217;t Spreken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2020 Stern Pro Circuit Championship Game 14\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qvvsCaCKNPw?start=92&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2020 Stern Pro Circuit Championship Game 14 (Earlier Code but great for seeing how the big boys play this in a high stakes game)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Ultimate Keith Elwin Pinball Gauntlet\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C7t9WslI8L0?start=7102&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@steveopub8441\">Escher Lefkoff<\/a> beating GZ (1:57:00 to 2:45:15) (2:07:00-ish: some fancy tap-passing).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:2px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"Tournament-strategy\"><strong>Tournament Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclaimer: System-J Tips&#8211;just my opinion, don&#8217;t take it too seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reduce the risk if you aren&#8217;t familiar with the (specific) game.
