It actually started making sense...I was thinking the

wrong thing when I read it but it's 5 up and 5 to the right...I just count it out and the claw is never in the same spot...Haven't tried to many times but maybe with practice I will get good at it...but yeah a picture works better. I just don't think there is one other than the videos of people pulling it. 5 beeps across the top kind of lines up with the video I saw on here so that's what I'm trying.

 

I also don't know if I believe the 1800 number...why would Fun tell us 100 that sounds more like speculation. We need to stick to facts here. I think 1800 makes more sense too but there's no reason to doubt it says 100 if that's what it says.

 

I am going to make an effort to reload the session...I mean I don't see the thing move that much but over a length of time that can make it to where your not even able to grab it...its not worth it. 

1/1800 seems like a random number compared to the 1/150 and 1/200 chances for PRB and Master, but honestly 1/100 cannot be true. There has to be another factor or something, because otherwise theoretically @CarimboHanky should have grabbed Wasabi Kitty 36 times in the amount of attempts it had to take him with the odds being 1/100. I'm proper determined to find out the root of this even if I end up losing all my brain cells in the process lol. For a while we didn't know about this 35cm distance between the claw and a plushie to trigger the rng, what other information is hidden behind the code? Something maybe obvious? I'd be curious to know if all the plushies have the same model or if PRB, Master and Wasabi are unique. Is it possible within the code to see the sweet spot where we need to hit the plushie to trigger the rng? Sorry I'm probably being annoying tagging a lot but @Fun 2 myself and a lot of people here would really like to try and get to the bottom of this Wasabi kitty mystery, if you can help us figure it out completely and why the 1/100 chance doesn't seem right we would be very grateful!!!

 

Also if anyone else has anymore theories or ideas to speculate on why Wasabi is a bitch to grab please share them as it might speed up the process of getting to the bottom of this. Cheers laddies.

there are 10 plushies (yes im counting the double poop) 9 of the 10 you guys all say that the "sweet spot" exists  and that the % chance the game says is about right.

 

but there is 1 of 10 that gives you guys all the middle finger. so then there are 2 possible factors that are wrong. 1 the game is a liar, or 2 the "sweet spot" is wrong.

 

if the game was a liar, then that would be a typo and @CarimboHanky should have gotten it by now from any typo

 

So then that leaves the "sweet spot" being wrong. If you look at one of my previous posts. I stated that the video @tcotiago supplied. we have a half character difference for the PRB Plushie (possible your 35 cm diameter/radius)

 

And going based on the successfully gotten people that have posted here, I feel it safe to assume that we do have the "sweet spot" wrong and it actually is little more then half a character to the left of the very end

I believe some people aren't hitting the sweet spot, because she's positioned all the way to the right.

People got the Master Hentai and Princess plushies within hours of trying which sounds about right.

You only have 1/100 chance to win the plushie if you hit the sweet spot, but if you don't hit the sweet spot, then you will be wasting your time.

Here's the problem, there's no way to figure out whether you hit the sweet spot or not, the machine doesn't make a special sound if you hit the sweet spot.

The people who somehow got it managed to hit the sweet spot over and over again until they won the plushie. So we just have to check how they won it and try out their methods.

That doesn't make any sense though because there are numerous videos of people winning it and almost all of them are in different spots, people have gotten it going all the way to the right and pinging it off, others have gotten it going deep into the right and some have gotten it so far to the left that the plushie has actually slid along into the claw as it gets picked up. So either the "sweet spot" is absolutely massive or it changes.

Is the sweet spot for shiny wasabi kitty when the doll does not wiggle until after the claw starts coming back up? Most of the time the doll starts to wiggle before the claw touches it

I had the first ones in front quite fast manually but when I noticed the other ones being stubborn I programmed a g-key on my keyboard as a macro to do the job. It seemed enough to see a plushy wiggling and it would get picked sooner or later. I liked to tweak the macro to hit exactly on the middle of it but I don't think that was necessary. Sometimes I got nothing after some hours, to repeat the same macro next day and get success within the hour. Or not. That's how I continued for a few more days to get them all but I don't remember having more difficulties with the green one. In fact it was mostly the yellow one laughing at me for failing. A few times I got one just before I wanted to quit and call it a night, which was nice.

After all this I also got the 2nd brown one out to get all 10 (not needed).

 

I have tested if using the same succesfull macro settings again would make it possible to clean out the cabinet in one session and me become the almighty master of the plushies. Well, no way. I think I got just one in 2 hrs and gave up, didn't want to spend too much time on it anymore. Later I've been able to get some plushies out again to check what it rewards, it gave me some rp.

When we refer to sweet spot, we're meaning the 35cm distance between claw and plushie, which obviously exists. The code won't and can't lie, so 1/100 chance must be correct when triggering the rng. Plus Fun confirmed before and in the post above the sweet spot does exist of course. Don't think it's real but have seen elsewhere on a video that the chances of most plushies were 1/30, 1/180 for saki, PRB and Master 1/360, and 1/1800 for Wasabi. Doesn't add up with what other's have said about the odds.

 

I think the conclusion we can come to is that this is Rockstar's fault for positioning Wasabi all the way to the far back and right in a position where we can't even trigger the rng if we hit the right spot. Whether that means that making her wiggle until she's moved further forward is the reason why her sweet spot comes into view and is able to be grabbed is the answer, idk. Most plausible reason why, but annoyingly still doesn't help us figure out where the sweet spot is or if we know we've even triggered the rng to get her. Also heard people talk about the controller rumbling more on the sweet spot, will check more for that when I try today.

Should the PRB has a Sweet Spot to?
Because i get her yesterday very surprising in the first attempts via macro

Round about 10mins, everytime on the same spot, apprx. middle/middle.

 

now i am aiming for wasabi and master. also middle/middle.

I think that the sweet spot is activated only after 1.5 hours of attemps precisely because it moves forward... 

 

Guys....watch this video!!!!! 

 

I hope this is a really sweet spot! Ahahahaha Now I wanna try on Xbox One. These guys I think is on PS4.

After trying for a week to get wasabi, I finally got it on xbox. First, I was switching lobby every 40 minutes to avoid daily fees and this morning I decided to stay in a lobby the longest time I could and I finally got it. I went all the way up and all the way right. So my guess is the longer you stay trying in the same session, wasabi will change her position and will be easier to grab. I didn’t saw her moving, because I was in my bed half asleep not focusing on the tv and just moving my controller.

Just been trying this for about an hour, I think R* patched it already with the background update yesterday. Instead of the plushie glitching out now it's just your character that does it.

I have asked a couple of friends to modify the chances to 100% so it's almost guaranteed they will win every plushie from the first try.

This way we can confirm whether they are hitting the sweet spot or not.

Well, that's just cute! I've tried long sessions, short sessions, changing up the coordinates, moving the machine, controlling the claw both manually and afk aaaand nothing.😩 I have pulled almost every other plushie three times, manually already. Go figure that the Wasabi one probably spawns out of the optimal reach of the claw and has to be pushed forward pixel by pixel to increase the odds. I had a hunch the claw tended to grab more often if it was just a little behind the plushie heads, but it didn't seem to pull wasabi even after pushing it quite a bit forwards.

If the bug works by pushing it to the left that almost basically confirms that there is a sweet spot thats too far to the right. Its still great to see if there is a sweet spot you can hit.

My friend just tried it out, he couldn't pick all the plushies from the first try, he had to be precise with each one, took him a couple of minutes to pick all except Wasabi.

He's still trying to pick Wasabi plushie even though his aim is pretty precise, not to mention his chances of getting each plushie if he hit the sweet spot is 100%

There's definitely something wrong with Wasabi plushie.

Okay I managed to move the plushie and get it, a little heads up for people who are going to try this, you need to make sure she lands on her side when you push her out of her spot, if she ends up stood upright on top of the other plushies you wont be able to grab her cause the claw skips right past her hitbox when it begins to grab.

I want to try tomorrow too. It's absolutely disgusting that you have to resort to bug to get wasaby plushie but..it's ok! :D

Non molto tempo, circa 30 minuti, una volta che è su e fuori da quell'angolo diventa davvero facile.

This is exactly what I meant when I said it doesn't have a "sweet spot"...Do u have a video or an image for your position of plushie? Thanks

But you said it shouldn't be on other plushie, moreover how did you push it up there? After a while she stops and doesn't move anymore. @InfluxOG
