Alright who's the fucking liar that voted

Oh, as an aside, please don't spoil how things ramp up. Emerald had never heard of it, so I linked it to him and he is going to try after work. Here is the extent of what I've told him:

MrSmartGuy - Today at 9:53 AM
yeah i've never beat him
i've come closer than most i've talked to though
you have to hit 40 home runs on 50 pitches

emerald are get grade F - Today at 9:53 AM
oh yikes

MrSmartGuy - Today at 9:53 AM
my best is 31

emerald are get grade F - Today at 9:54 AM
And I assume that's in addition to more extreme side to side breaking on the pitches

MrSmartGuy - Today at 9:54 AM
........ sure

It's no big deal, I'll just not check the topic till I'm done lol
---

That was a typo, but pretty much the perfect one.
---

I beat Owl but Tigger was too much
---

I never could beat Tigger
---

I played three times and got a grand total of 1 homerun against Eeyore.
---

Got stuck on Piglet
---

Just did a run for old times' sake. Got 26, then 25, then 35(!) on ol' CR. Maybe it's possible after all!
---

Why.....why???

I had forgotten about this game. Life was good. Life was worth living.

Arrrrgh!
---

Tigger, since CR is virtually impossible due to having access to every pitch type and pitch speed in the entire game

Owl is tougher than Tigger though.
---

I couldnt beat Tigger

Damn him
---

People are calling this FLASH game for KIDS IMPOSSIBLE!! How Far can you get????
---

It's been ages. Can't remember where I got stuck (tigger or CR?) but I remind the grind and the suffering.

Was the original version in chinese or japanese or something? I seem to recall the first version of this game not being in english the first time it was passed around.
---

i actually can't remember whether i beat Christopher Robin. probably not.
---

owl or tigger i forget
---

Just beat tigger, I see why Christopher Robin is OP

I shall persevere! For a little while, anyway
---

I beat this when the fad first happened.
---

Made it to CR in just under 20 minutes.

Definitely took a lot longer the first time I did this(Hours, probably).
---

Oh man, never heard of this before. Got one homer off Eeyore first try. Second try I got the hang of it better, but fell to Piglet.
---

I guess since I have the excuse to, might as well post one of my favorite gifs ever.

Owl took a handful of tries but by the time i was passed him i cleared tigger in 1.

Now i just need to take on CR.
---

i can't even beat Tigger anymore. sad.
---

Didn't get past Tigger but I also never knew you could upgrade your stats.
---

Ugh I got to 37 on cr
---

I feel like I got decently far back in the day, but based on my skills today (ALMOST beat Piglet) and my not remembering you could upgrade, I kinda doubt my memory.
---

Owl was always p hard for me but I had beaten him before anyway
---

Oh shit, didn't know you could upgrade stuff. Might have to go back and try again. Busy with other stuff though.
---

If I let myself be sucked into this hellish cesspool again I'd probably reach CR in under an hour

But **** CR.

Also I remember this game being on some all Japanese site. Wtf is this English

Man Rabbit's even more of a chump than I remember. The slow-fast pitch doesn't work in this game because it gives you plenty of time to line up your bat to crush it when it bothers coming your way.

Exactly 19/35 on Owl. **** Owl.

Tch, only 28/40 on Tigger and I needed to hit the last 3 to pass. Weak.

Redid him and got a 33. Much better. Still would be slaughtered by CR.
---

go to robin.

im all set. dont need to beat him
---

I'm playing for the first time.

Beat Lumpy and Piglet on first try. Does this game get hard?
---

Ok, Kanga and Roo took 5 tries.

I can only expect this to get worse.
---

You asked for it.

Have fun with Owl. Rabbit sucks.
---

I'm at Owl now. Rabbit only took two tries. Owl is harder to be consistent with.
---

wtf Owl
---

Owl = upgrade contact so your sweet spot is bigger and time your swing so that it is either zigging or zagging towards the sweet spot when you pull the trigher.
---

Owl at Christopher Robin top speed still gets me most of the time.

Tigger's base mechanics are easier than Owl's too. The main issue is the sharp increase in both the raw number and 'percent of total' home runs you need, which makes fighting (?) him slowly crush your soul over time.

CR's top speed in general is ridiculous for having access to all the pitches

Rabbit is 50% (15/30). Owl requires ~55% (19/35).. Tigger suddenly jumps to 70% (28/40). CR is 80%. (40/50)

So yeah it's a huge leap. Tigger's power is weaker but you need to be more accurate to the tune of hitting 9 more home runs despite only getting 5 extra pitches.
---

yeah it took me quite a while to beat Owl, then i spent about as long against Tigger and couldn't beat him despite doing "better", getting 25 or 26 a few times and also a bunch of 23s.
---

I work with a touchpad on an old laptop. Pooh's slow drift makes lining up anything difficult, and couple that with a left button that doesn't always register and an already notoriously difficult game becomes painful.

I got to Lumpy, I understand the basic mechanics, but this isn't going to get any easier with less than stellar controls. Maybe I should get a mouse.

you definitely need a mouse for this game
---

Also tips for Christopher Robin:

-Get all the way to the back of the box, this keeps timing consistent when moving left and right.
-Remember you can swing more than once with the ball in the air. I have a tendency to get fooled by Kanga's pitch thinking its a fastball, but the way it backs up sometimes gives me a second whack at it. Doesn't always work, but don't give up just because you swung super early.
-Learn to recognize left and right out of his hand. This is the most important part to hitting home runs. Timing will come naturally.
-dont suck.
