Great work!  The technology is there for 1.5.  Dont forget Barra bottom 1600 on hideout.  That is something Marky used.  I dont have mame is this game playback available without it.

From my short experience with it, it's more a break glass in case of emergency move. Unfortunately on average it seems to actually give you a lower score. I could be wrong though. But on the last level, and you have nothing left to lose, and you are desperate, yeah it's definitely something to go for.

It definitely averages higher but we do need more data. In my 1.3m game I used it up until L12, averaging 2.7 smashes. From L13 onwards I averaged 1.2 smashes

Corey used this technique for the full game however he didn't drop that fruit at all on levels 18 and 19. Excluding those two, he averaged 2.625 smashes with the first apple over a full game.

The only other game that (presumably) used this technique is Mark's 1.4m but unfortunately we don't have the data/video for that one.

The jackpot method is skipping at least the first two fruits. I didn't create skipping the second fruit. I founded skipping the first two fruits. In other words, the delay the first fruit that you called it is what I call the Jackpot method.

OK, finally watched some of it. This is basically equivalent to the Wes Copeland "perfect" game. Both games were able to get max points on all three men. Both did something surprisingly safe. Wes constantly panic grabbed during his game, and Phil didn't ever skip the second fruit, and chose the safer method. Both safe methods happened on the hardest version of the first board you play in the game.
Both games scores ended with 8,000
And as far as difficulty, yeah 1,478,000 is equivalent to 1,218,000.  IMO
So far what's shocked me. Wow! I had no clue you you could kill three birds on the springboard stage!
The chain stage. This is a hybrid of the regular method combined with my method. Amazing!

3 birds with one fruit or total for the whole board?

Delay 1st fruit = jackpot
Delay 2nd fruit (1st apple) = what I was referring to

No one does the 1st one yet. Only myself, Corey and marky have implemented the 2nd (i think marky found this strat?)

That's right.
