"POP's Guide to hitting the box" VP battle series

[C. Clyde]

Pop, this is the same method I've used since I was a Level 2 cold caller, and it's the best method to date. Standing at an angle in the back up close is exactly how I got my title. In my past VP Battles, I've scored 40% of all the stuns between the eight toons.

Just remember guys and gals, when the undercarraige opens, pump 'em in there as fast as you can, 'cause if a gear comes and hits you, it's really hard to get one in before it closes. 2c

I hope you duck finds this inf usefull, Good Luck

Yep, my duck can kamakazee and can actually hit other toons for laff increase. My big dog is a pro at the distance shot.

Now how did I ever miss this post? Hmm, maybe because I didn't think I was ready for the VP. lol. I am now thanks to this guide!

Two thumbs up for the humorous post. It sure made me laugh. Thanks!

Still not ready to battle VP Solo. I'll just let you guys do that part :-)

I don't know if it's me or what, but my pie-throwing technique bites big-time. I just have no control, it seems! When I place my mouse over the blue bar under the pie, it just wiggles and I have NO idea how to control the height or whatever of my pie throw.

Soooo... I am the official Tooner-Upper whenever I go in to fight the VP. There's always a bunch of toons who get knocked out by his jumping, and so I toon them up while dodging the gear showers.

How bad am I at stunning? I had a cheeky brown rabbit run right up to me, get in front of me, and say, "You should pass!" three times in a row. Made me blush and laugh at the same time.

That is funny Some people have all the nerve! He could have just stood next to you and stunned no need for the wise (snip) remarks. As far as using the mouse, my opinion, don't! It's more difficult to control the "shot" that way. Try using the <insert> key if you haven't already. See how that works for you.

You really don't have to worry about the bar that much. For the "distance stun" tap away at the insert key and back off until you see your "splats" near the center of the box door. Continue tapping away at the same rate and when it opens your pie will go in.

Good Luck

Glad to hear my efforts have been appreciated as well as usefull. Maybe I'll actually sit down one day and finish it

Thanks, keep your eye's fixed on your mailbox!!! "Pop" is sending you an all expense paid ticket to the trolley in the playground of your choice. ENJOY

My toon is as tall as it let me make it (I didn't know ANYTHING about the VP then and it was out on open) and I still don't have any problem doing the kamakazee method. This is my evil twin smile who can't seem to do that

LOL i know i do the same thing sometimes. I, the dumby that I am, Just discovered that you can hold down the "inst" button and it goes back and forth. Doooooh...LOL. I'm right there with ya I think think some parts u jsut can't get good aim. I think thats what Disney was going for tho (to make a challenge) so we should just have fun with it!

Been a while since I've seen this thread. Anyway with the insert key I find it easier to not hold it down but to tap quickly for straighter shots and tap slower for a higher arch. Once you get a tapping rythm going you can get the same angle and hit the same spot over and over again.

Then again what do I know??? I haven't seen the VP in so long he's probably old and grey by now . I'm lucky if I see the VP once a month, Factory runs are just too boring

[Weird Winky]

Well im good.... well my 3 of my friends (all doing seperate runs in seperate distrects) all called me to do vp with them because they always have their quickest runs with me Also when im out of vp some toon (not just cold callers but once I had 2 holly's at once) come up to me and say you rock. And then applause! So im guessing im good... so if you want any tips ill be happy to give you some!
