Did you use the gauge or stylus mode to bowl? If you are using the stylus mode, how to ensure the special powers are being activated?
I still can't beat the russian bowler.. :

I think I have unlocked everything 2 days ago.

I seriously think using the stylus control is much more accurate and better.
To ensure the special powers are being activated, you have to "scribe" on the screen fast enough.
For each character, you have to understand what are their strengths and where they should aim, etc.
