My current personal best time on this speedrun - 6 Minutes and 11 Seconds for the 900,000,000 Death Blow on Iron Maiden.
Getting a 6-way combo:
Shots that count towards combos are the left ramp, right ramp, left orbit, right orbit, small loop, and big loop. A 6-way combo is achieved by hitting these six shots in succession, in any order, without hitting another major playfield shot. There is no time limit! You can take a single shot, then cradle up and pause, then take your next one.
Steps to the 900,000,000 Death Blow, courtesy of Colin MacAlpine:
- Qualify Tomb #4, but do NOT collect it.
- Get 3x PF ready, but do NOT activate it. (If you drain your non-final ball during this step, your 900M Deathblow is still in play.)
- Collect Tomb #4. (You're now "all in," and if you drain, your chance for 900M Deathblow will be gone.)
- Complete a 6-way combo, with one of the ramps as the final 6th shot.
- Use the ramp return to go over your lit inlane to activate 3x PF.
- Cash in your Super Deathblow at either the Revive spinner or the Bulls-eye target (must be the true center of the bulls-eye).
Normal Deathblows re-award the same value as your highest Combo award of that Combo sequence, if the deathblow shot is hit as final shot of the sequence.
