IFPA16 World Pinball Championship - The Final Game???

[@FloydMaxwell]

5th time watching. As great as the other 4. Greatest comeback of all time.

[@willpollock7243]

Never watched pinball before. Have to say, it was brilliantly entertaining. Wish I knew more of what was happening in between, but an exciting watch nonetheless. Great stuff.

[@JDLPINBALL]

Hi W P. The complete final is towards the end of this 7 hour video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYLNZ2ambrCJeKc. This includes discussion by the experts (former world champions) on how the decision was reached to restart the game. Keep watching btw - pinball is definitely on the rise again :) :) :) JDL

[@kmed1994]

me too 🤣

[@granpastreetz]

Same here! First time watching competitive pinball.

[@Deadly1996]

*Ten Million, Ten Million...*

[@MisterVercetti]

That has to be one of the greatest comebacks in pinball history. Daniele's lost Bats bonus wouldn't have even mattered, that's how hard Johannes came roaring back.

[@JDLPINBALL]

Hi and welcome to JDL Pinball. The Daniele Johannes game was probably one of the most amazing events in pinball streaming history. Really pleased you enjoyed it. We stream live on www.twitch.tv/jdl_pinball and then post edit videos on to our JDL PINBALL KZbin channel. Lots of content there going back to 2016 when we started. IFPA16 (2019) in Italy moved us to the next level and we continue to try and raise the bar even higher. Check out some of the IFPA18 (2023) videos or our KZbin shorts! Rgds, JDL

[@avanasmitty4984]

This was amazing!!! Great representation from the youth at this year’s world championship. Awesome gameplay from both competitors!

[@markhorsburgh]

Thanks for uploading this separate. It was a phenomenal final

[@JDLPINBALL]

Glad you enjoyed it Mark :)

[@g1tegCW]

The best finals I've ever seen. Thanks JDL for recording this!

[@JDLPINBALL]

Cheers Chris, glad you enjoyed it. It was an amazing event to be part of :)

[@toddybody]

Keine Ahnung, wie oft ich mir dieses Video schon reingezogen habe...Immer wieder geil.....ich hätte gerne ansatzweise diese Skillz, diese Ruhe, diese Übersicht, diese Ballkontrolle....dann diese coolness beim Flippern, null Hektik, kein Spinner, kein Angeber......tougher Pinballer.... Absoluter Respekt, Johannes.

[@JDLPINBALL]

He really is a national treasure! You can see him in lots of our other videos www.KZbin.com/JDL_PINBALL. A few years older now of course but still has that same laid-back style. JDL

[@MikeRidgeway]

Wow. To put up that kind of ball in that situation with everything on the line. Just amazing.

[@maggy40404]

absolutely amazing, those people standing in the room with him that day are some of the luckiest alive, i was so hyped watching this

[@silverballmania]

Amazing... rather terrifying :-) The coolest ball ever! Great - Johannes

[@EXCELLENTpoo]

I mean that BSD played quite nicely but still an absolutely amazing performance from both players. Truly two of the greatest.

[@fischersmethod]

This one video got me intrigued with pinball…. Amazing

[@JDLPINBALL]

Lots more videos to watch - this is probably the best game ever streamed though! Glad you liked it. JDL

this video was my introduction to competitive pinball and it was thrilling

[@JDLPINBALL]

Glad you liked it Illhark. Lots and lots more videos on our channel. We stream live on Twitch too! JDL

[@l.lewbowski6871]

Just read an article in a german magazine about Sharpe saving Pinball and finally came to this thrilling final. So entertaining, thanks!

[@JDLPINBALL]

You are very welcome. Couldn't help noticing your KZbin name btw - check out this Dutch designed pinball machine at pinside.com/pinball/machine/big-lebowski . Based on the film of course!

[@l.lewbowski6871]

@@JDLPINBALL Very cool, actually it is a combination of my real name and the Dude.

[@fgp3]

wow what an amazing game this guy knows what he's doing, thanks JDL for sharing the link

[@JDLPINBALL]

We watched him grow up here in Germany and develop into the champion he now is! This game was over 3 years ago, June-2019. He still plays in that very cool manner! JDL

[@orangemidget1972]

Super gemacht Johannes, es ist überragend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chiefcoffee6509]

Johannes is the real deal. Skill levels off the chart #worldchampion

[@deanhankio6304]

"my first ball is stuck" is something you never say in real life

[@isaacriggs4656]

Es at the end of words in Italian are silent most of the time.

[@willm7290]

Kinda sucks for Daniele because he was in a rhythm and the machine glitch really killed that. Feels bad, man.

[@JDLPINBALL]

Glad you enjoyed watching this Will. Daniele is a real sportsman and was the first to congratulate Johannes on the win with no hard feelings. Sometimes that's just the way things go. They are both still great friends but highly competitive! You can see them battle a few times in through the Olympics weekend videos that have just been released.

[@Zanedragon]

I love this bavarian teenie :) what a player!

[@JDLPINBALL]

He was back then (2019) and still is now (2022) although he's not a "teenie" anymore :). You can see him battle with Daniele in the Olympics weekend videos that we've just been released. Check a couple out on kzbin.info_pinball and feel free to subscribe to get future notifications. Cheers! JDL

[@skippychurch2965]

So... why have a tournmanet on a game with credit dot that clearly doesnt work well?

[@JDLPINBALL]

A few asked that question after the event Skippy. You could have played that final another 1000 times and not go the same glitch though so don't think it could have been foreseen. It gave rise to an amazing game though which most agree is one of the best ever for drama and demonstration of just sheer determination. If you want to see Johannes and Daniele battle again - check out the Olympics weekend videos that we've just been released on kzbin.info_pinball and feel free to subscribe to get future notifications. Cheers! JDL

[@skippychurch2965]

@@JDLPINBALL I'm talking about the credit dot. The system sees soemthing isn't working and is alerting the op to have it fixed.

[@JDLPINBALL]

Interesting, not heard of this before so just googled it ...."The credit dot is a decimal point (a single, lit pixel on the display), that appears after the number of credits or after the words free play on the DMD display on WPC games. It is a quick indicator used to tell the operator or owner that there may be an issue with the game". There is clearly a 'dot' after FREEPLAY. I'll ask around at our and see if anyone else spotted this. Thanks Skippy! JDL

[@skippychurch2965]

@@JDLPINBALL you're welcome. It's meant to be low key, so it goes unnoticed sometimes. But that credit dot, sometimes, can be a huge problem. Good luck!

[@ramairneon]

It's probably a bad End Of Stroke switch, which is irrelevant on WPC games since they are fliptronic. They would address any other functionality / scoring issue or pull the game if it was a legitimate problem.

[@BootsORiley]

incredible

[@JDLPINBALL]

Truly is Boots! Never tire of watch it !!!

[@aljoschaheppner9108]

Wie geil war denn das?

[@mirkogrohler3407]

Gratulation (:

[@peterdahlman]

Epic!

[@emildobre4442]

I had no idea that this could be a championship

[@JDLPINBALL]

Lots and lots of pinball tournaments around Emil. You can see lots of them on youtube/JDL_PINBALL of course and we regularly stream live on www.twitch.tv/jdl_pinball

[@kreterakete]

Will they ever use a pinball 2000 like revenge from mars for playing tournament??

[@JDLPINBALL]

Hi again Neal. Answer to your question is definitely YES. Our German league finals at Seligenstadt have both RFM and Star Wars. Whether you would ever see them on stream is another question as rigs are not really suitable as they stand. We'd therefore advise TD not to put the machines in the finals. Might look at doing a stream during qualifications though. Freddy also has both machines at his Pinball Paradise! Jim

[@kreterakete]

JDL PINBALL thank you very much for your reply. Well, I understand.. but..give it a try .. cause the flipper RFM is entertaining and the mirror Glas top should take care of good reflection I think. All the Best, hugs.

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

WOW

[@JDLPINBALL]

Have a look at some of our latest videos of Johannes and Daniele playing awesome pinball - KZbin/JDL_Pinball

[@JDLPINBALL]

Have a look at www.ifpapinball.com/ and see if there are any tournaments in your area DJ. Its a great hobby with some really nice people across the world ! JDL

Aqua teen hunger force brought me here

[@JDLPINBALL]

Strange connection but I hope you liked the switch :) JDL

[@StimpyThe1]

“Daniele didn’t make Jesus rise out of the machine, he just played well” is probably the best pinball commentary I’ve ever heard! 😂

[@JDLPINBALL]

Yep, Cayle George at his best 👌

EPIC!
