The Balls-iest Cutscene in Saints Row 2...

The "Of Shipments and Skee-Ball" (BR09-01) cutscene features 29 Skeeballs.
Each one of these is an animated Character, not so different from Playa and Shaundi.

(Aside from having a different model and animation rig.)

In the Cutscene file (BR09-01.xtbl), each Skeeball Character is named with a number. Such as "BAL1", "BAL7", and so on. Except there seems to be no logic as to the number they were given, which means figuring out which one is which is a real pain.

But fear not! Because this guide charts them all out!

(Shaundi starts the cutscene in Lane 5, then moves over to Lane 4, while Playa resumes play from Lane 5.)

Bonus Trivia!:
Despite the scoreboards reading 90 points each, neither Shaundi or Playa actually score any shots. Though one shot from Playa is right on the edge.

Method in the Madness:
This information was figured out by replacing each Skeeball one-by-one with the Baseball Bat (to make it obvious which one had it's model changed).

This is why I love this community <3 congratulations for cracking the code (and booting up the game 25+ times, looks like) then sharing the results with us!
