It will still be available in the West, though, but who knows for how long.

---

I suppose I'll beat it once more for nostalgia's sake.

But Christopher Robin is a real a-hole, I remember that much.

---

Fuck 2020 will this year ever end??

---

I've never beat CR, or gotten close to beating CR. He is the epitome of unfairness.

---

I got to CR myself, then just gave up after like three tries.

---

And now the music is in my head and I know I'm going to play it and waste more time on it for no reason because I'll just quit at CR again.

It just occurred to me that I have never done this in English.

---

Doesn't the game run on flash, which is shutting down in December anyway?
---

the game is certainly archived in a million places and there are portable/local flash emulators. nothing is actually being lost

---

I don't even have flash player on my computer anymore!

---

Eeyore beated, 7/10
Lumpy beated 10/15

these guys are chumps :D

---

Still never played this thing

---

Piglett: 14/20
Kanga: 15/25

No failures yet, but Kanga was close. I don't remember if I'm going to need to grind points to max out my stats or if I'll have max stats by the time I reach CR.

You poor fool. You know not what you delve into.

I vaguely remember getting to CR and quitting.

All right I'll try again

---

It's honestly not too bad...

...And then you run into Owl...

....And you learn how traumatic the game can be.

---

Rabbit: 15/30
Owl: 17/35

Succeeded on Rabbit (target was 15) and then failed on owl (target 19). It's probably for the best because I'm still not even halfway maxed on the stats. I need the upgraded sweet spot on owl because I could make contact with every pitch but the zig zag pattern means a lot of them are glancing blows that dont make it out of the park.

Oh, I'm fully aware. I've trod down this path before and stared into the eyes of the devil himself.

---

I know there's a meme about Christopher Robin being OP in a flash game meant for kids but can someone elaborate on how hes op?

---

Once you get Rabbit down, he's farmable and you should be able to get 28+ off of him consistently for a lot of points.

The characters from level 1 to 7 all have varying pitch speeds (and some change the speed of the pitch while it's coming at you.) and varying pitch gimmicks.

Christopher Robin has access to ALL pitch speeds and ALL character gimmicks, and you need to hit for 40/50 on him having no clue which of dozens of potential pitches he's going to throw every time the ball comes out.

Each character has a different gimmick when pitching, like invisible baseballs, wavy baseballs, or varying speed baseballs. Christopher Robin switches between all of their gimmicks unpredictably, and you need to hit 40/50 balls, which is absurdly difficult.

What NFUN said.

I only was able to get 40/50 on CR once. I felt like a God that day many years ago. Sucks that he is going away for most people without flashpoint.

Took a half dozen more tries, but got the 19/35 to clear owl. I'm going to be curious to go back to owl after my stats are maxed, I don't remember him being so challenging before. It's not a sign that bodes well. I don't think i'll take as many tries on tigger.

---

Tigger: (target 28)
19/40
23/40 (was well ahead of pace and fell apart)
25/40 (I fell very far behind pace and had a pointlessly strong finish to PB without winning)

---

---

23/40 - I gave up after it was mathematically impossible
22/40 - started with 11/12 and then threw it all away by being bad =P

edit:
29/40 - got weird in the middle but then crushed 14 out of the final 15.

And then there was one...

---

15/50 - Nice to have a baseline I suppose
13/50 - And then it was immediately undercut <_<

I think I'll grind rabbit for max stats now so I don't have the speed and hitbox mechanics changing on me from the occasional level up while I try to get used to him.

---

dammit rabbit

19, 22, 32, 25, 31, 27

Had some decent progress while half paying attention and watching videos.

---

18, 27, 22, 27, 28

Several of these would have been higher if I went the full 50 but i've been resetting when it becomes clear I wont even set a PB. Nothing above 32 yet.

---

26, 29, 27, 27, 33

new PB

---

anyone have a save of maxed stats

I really don't feel like grinding rabbit

---

I saw something with Winnie the Pooh in the title being shut down, and assumed it was because of China.
