Iv been asked by a few people how i get such good scores on pusher.  So i have made a little video explaning the bonuses and how they work and enplane what my technique is when i play pusher.  Hope you find it helpful and i convert some of you mono players to pusher elite!

i would also like to give some credit to blind avarice as he was the person who put a lot of time into discovering all the factors in the bonuses and explained them to me Cool

also b4 anyone points this out i made a slight mistake which i realized after.  I say chaing was 275% and was maxed out.  actually it was only 175% extra and wasn't maxed out. (was think when i did it that maxed out quickly)

Here is the new pointman tutorial

Hope it helps  Cool

This is great stuff! I switched to Pusher long ago but there are too few people out there who bother to retake the top spot on a song if they see a pusher elite beat them... hopefully this will get to some of the ninja mono lovers.  Roll Eyes

Exactly my thoughts!  Roll Eyes

But all jokes aside... I love ninja mono, but I also liked the doubler... it's made of pure win, pusher is pretty cool too.

Very cool tutorial.  I've been mostly a mono elite player... but started testing out pusher recently and have been having some trouble.  This will be a big help.  Much appreciated.

The bonus isn't actually capped at 275% either, I've had it up to ~289% on a recorded test run.  (which means the match was worth 389% of its original value)  A closer guess would be about 300%, but it could go higher, albeit unpractical to ever reach.  Not super relevant, just a nitpick.

This is a great vid, I'm really happy with how it turned out.  Voice tutorials can be a real disaster, but I wasn't counting on Super Clear Brit Voice to make it so easy to understand!  It's amazing how many of the same exact techniques we use without ever having actually discussed them.  If you're struggling with Pusher, watch this vid.  The easy form gravity builds and the notion of funneling (pushing one color right and one color left, as per the Match 21 section) are especially valuable to intermediate players.

Aha.

Now we have the answer as to why Vegas needs something more.

Not really, funneling imo makes pusher easy, especialyl on fast songs.....pointer is supreme on low traffic songs tho
