Great question. Yes. Angles are possible, but trickier on Tornado than other tables. The dots show the lanes you can score from and the width of the goal. The defense can only cover two spots, so something is always open.
Steve Zeoke played amazing👏 No adjustments needed because his defense was so solid. That 2 bar euro is so tough especially for people who never see it. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. I miss foosball! I also miss playing with Steve!
I miss playing with you also. I am ready to try again and be more relaxed and thoughtful. I think I can play with less panic now and play more rationally, lol. You* were the offense and took over game 2 huge. You played pro level, stealing the ball at huge moments and were very very clutch. You saw me slippin and decided it was time to close up shop, lol. We'll do better next time. Better than our 15-0 perfect season lol.
Holy shit that was fast!!! I only just uploaded it!!! Thank you so much!!! You're too kind, man! I will post long races here again too someday, as I get better at editing vids. I deleted the others because they have too much menu stuff etc and not enough production values. I'll stick with the short Twitter vids for now for that, and glad I got you there too 😆 (there's a couple new ones, lol)
@@DarylLewis Oh, damn right. I was dating lots at the time and told them all to stop bugging me like a month beforehand. I was panicking all the time and thinking, "What have I done?!? I can't even speak in front of groups well!" I needed to buy a TCM hat and hoodie (nobody could tell anyways) and study everything about the movie itself, and as much film history as I could in a month, because who knows what he's going to ask me, lol. When we started, I was brutally nervous. Ben is amazing at putting people at ease and making a conversation happen though. Thank You God Above for that 🙏 😊
@@stevezeoke mate the reason I ask about nerves is because you come across composed and well spoken on the video! I would have been a bag of nerves myself. I see you mentioned this in the closing message of the video but to the viewer you appear to have a fluid and smooth back & forth with Ben. Did you have this recorded on DVR or something or is the whole episode available online in Canada/US? That is something to keep forever bro.
@@DarylLewis They sent me a DVD before it aired and said not to post it anywhere for copyright and obvious reasons. I saw a couple of others post theirs on YT and I asked permission to do the same a month ago and they said yes! The other ones that aired that day are available to see if you search TCM Fan Favorites (US spelling lol) April 11, 2015. Without the movies in between though. (I'd sneak you a copy of the movie on memory stick if you were local. Shhh) Some guy posts these and other TCM extras who likely has permission to. Even if I own a copy of a movie, it's more fun to watch on that commercial-free TCM channel because of the intros, outros and many extra interviews and special features. Also because there is a massive section of Film Twitter live-tweeting them all under the hashtag #TCMPARTY. It can be fun, it can also be too extra, lol. Depends on your crowd-size preferences. I know there is a TCM in the UK, but I believe they don't show the same movies. Which is weird considering so many classic Hollywood icons came from there.
Thanks!! I'm about 6 tenths of a second off the world record. I've taken a break for a month, but I'm gonna have an energy drink and coffee ☕ and go back to work! I want that record haha 😄
I don't know if I can get the record. I am a choke artist. If I know there's one corner left and I'm ahead, I'll hit the wall 😆 It's all for fun in the end. I got a cheap video editor I'm enjoying, so I'll keep going.
@@stevezeoke good idea mate, keep it fun and you’ll wanna keep putting the laps in. Then before I know it, one day soon, I’ll open RU-vid and see you’ve uploaded a new world record lap!!
Cool! I like that track. That's a reasonable request. I think I might even be able to do it in a Bennetton. I might not get enough time until the weekend, but I'm on that!
@@stevezeoke hats off if you manage it. Only car setting I changed though was downforce and fuel depletion was on so that would've affected things to. You'll see the top ai cars get a 1:08 something. I did a full race also as coulthard and came in 2nd at behind m schumacher
@@itsamemarkio601 Not bad! Doing 1m08s in a Williams already because I wrote down my setups over the years. It says my best is 1m6.4. I will try to get back there by the weekend.
I haven't played the track in a year or two, but I got pole on expert with a 1m8.244s. I'm surprised. I can probably make a video now, but I wouldn't mind bringing that time down into mid 1m06s or close first.
I started this quest on the Sunday following my last Suzuka video. Three weeks ago this Sunday. I've lowered my time by 1.6 seconds in less than that. I've got a bit more than 0.6 to go. This is day 1 with a view change and setup tweek. The time is available. It might come sooner than MS's Bday, but it also might not come at all, lol.
@@Dalesi Do you think both of my left side tires fit inside* the small triangle tip I cut at the same time? I watched it a lot. I am confident that it was legal. Watch it at full speed. Pausing it is too blurry. Tell me it's illegal and I'll delete it. I push the limit, but I don't think I crossed it. The white line is in-bounds. In basketball, the white line out-of-bounds. Pause it before the kerbs and you'll see I cut off too small a tip for both my tires to fit inside* the white. Look at the outside edge of the left-side tyre. It's close, but I cut off too little to fit both tyres. I think. What do you think? I say barely legal, but legal lol. I have disallowed laps, so I analyze that turn on all of them. There will be no doubt on the final edition. Don't worry 😉
why isnt yellow forward shooting a push side snake? wth... lol. pullside is totally blocked and he keeps shooting it.. a straight might go but push side is huge..
I like the old white balls that were not sticky at least is not tony or frenchy toe kicks that made it unwatchable I love bump or 2 many front shots toeing and moving around boring always was to me I like the old days when the pros did pull and push bump shots more elegant snake rolloevers collingnon stuff tony spreadman yes very talented robots boring again give me a push kick or fake push kick then pull it back from the far man to the middle now that was talent.
No magnets. It's a heavy well-built table, so it's flat-surfaced, and the ball is heavy and grippy. It's easy to get good at ball control quickly on a Tornado.
I was good shooting with the 2 man. Playing buddy's my buddy's playing against would argue block those shots. Buddy playing goalie said cant stop what I cant see. Lol.
I like a Tornado but it is not a glass top Dynamo. Much better table for combos and players that move the ball on the toe or heal. We played a different game in the seventies and early eighties then they switched from the Dynamo's as the competition table to the Tornado. It's very hard to explain the difference. Am glad to see at this tournament they haven't slicked the table up like in some places which I like becuase I learn playing and passing and setting up on the heel and toe. But I could play just bouncing in between the men but I prefer to play with the table slightly tacky because I prefer shooting a lot of different shots instead just a pull. But everyone needs a money shot and that usually is a pull but mine was a toe because I could go both ways and cut the ball between the men if I get your timing down. That's why it's good to have fast ball control and move the ball to kinda see the goalies movement and timing. Am 57 now and have had two shoulder surgeries and I can't play seriously anymore. My partner died four years ago. We traveled all over playing Dynamo Tournaments in the South and Midwest. The problem then we both were coke heads but we still won a lot of Tournaments because we grew up playing before we got home trained. We held down steady jobs so a few times we drove like 600 miles and barely made it in time to sign up. Leave work after staying up the night before and then drive sometimes ten hours and play without maybe a nap in the car. I miss those days.
Very cool stories and foosball talk, man. I'm grateful you shared it on my video. Thanks. I grew up on Tournament Soccer and Dynamo tables. The Dynamos had the most insane grip for front or back pin. I could do any bank from any position on the 3-rod too. Sorry about your doubles partner and to hear that you aren't able to play tournaments anymore. Everyone from back then still fits in and wins their share :) There are probably a few who's names you would know or even recall having played against.
"That's alright. That was your downfall." He apologized for a comment that I overreacted to during the match that was edited out by the production team. I apologized to Charles for those last 4 seconds of this video on Facebook a few days after.
Thanks very much for the kind words. Yes, none of us were really amateurs any more, but it takes a lot of good results to finally move up in rank in foosball. They do that so we go to more tournament$ :) So, it's tough to know how good your opponent will be, but the tournaments are very fun. All four of us moved up in rank after this match.
@@stevezeoke I learned to play on a Dynamo with ramped corners and a single goalie at the skating rink where I worked. We'd play after work sometimes until the sun came up. 16 year old me really had it made.
Can't beat a old glass top Dynamo. Grew up playing on those. A Tornado is ok but the ball doesn't have the same reaction between the men for sure and it allows different styles of play instead of the one shot pull game. The Tornado does benefit those one shot pull shooters. Can't blame them if you can't stop it. I usually gave those guys a hard time because I could get to the hole consistently. It's easier going from a Tornado to a Dynamo than the other way around in my opinion.
@@kurtsherrick2066 remember those rubberized balls that could do an arch spin from one corner to the other? So cool. I only played on those tables a couple times-very fun
Thanks for the link Steve. Old school occasional player here and am getting a table for my teenagers now. Can't believe the high speed shot is legal. It makes for a boring game honestly. I see the same shot over and over. What do you recommend for a single goalie old school style table
Too kind, bro. I had to have luck too :) That's always part of it. Yes! You learn lots from watching and then trying what you saw. Go to enough tournaments and you'll have it all fall together too :)
At this point in the tournament, that team had played 15 matches in a row...tough grind coming from loser side of the bracket. I think he was tired. My 5 (guy on the right) was super tired and got lucky with a hot goalie and some favorable pick ups.
