I have seen this happen on a couple occasions. One sf suggested that it might be because the SOS cards were high cards (i.e. 5 star lure, sound, drop, trap) so the VP fight was more difficult. Actually, I just don't remember what the cards were. This began happening after an update about 5-6 weeks ago, I believe. My preferred spot is "rear gunner" so I reverse strategy & try to hit him in the head/torso instead of the door and hope that the toons up above can get the door. Fortunately, I am usually able to go with a group of sf so we can discuss the battle after we finish - whatever the outcome! lol Two of my toons are high toons (117 & 118) and, let me tell you, I can go sad too -- just takes a bit longer! Besides the obvious frustration of a VP having a panic attack, reversing strategy as a toon can be quite a challenge. My toons are small. When the VP is "normal," this is an advantage and aides in getting pies in that rear door, but it makes throwing pies high enough to hit the VP in the chest of head difficult. One suggestion is to keep the same target areas but quickly switch positions with your teammates until he gets down to the bulls-eye area.

Good luck... and let the pie fly!
