Ok, this is a guide to the pie part at the vp for beginners and advanced toons. If u are already good at the beginners part, then skip on down to the advanced section. Thanks.
Beginners:
Ah.. You just finished the skelecog round, but wait-- there's more? The Shopkeepers toon cage will be lowered, as you see-- stand under it and jump up to receive pies. If this is your first time, you might want to start off in the back just a few steps off the slope (in example: When u see it slopes down, take a few steps down it and now u will be facing the rear of the VP. This is best for beginners because the VP won't throw gears at u in the front. Now stand back and throw the pie pretty high on the slope. By doing this, hold down the INSERT key until the blue bar at the top of your screen is more filled then empty. When he is stunned, go in the front and knock him a little off. When this is done, go back in the back and stay far away and try to AIM at the little opening where the cogs come out on the Cog battles. then go in front and knock him out. Keep repeating. PS: When he is farther down the hill, u can go in the front, but i think for beginners the back is much easier.
Advanced: Alright, after u master the basics, It's time to take the pie part one step farther. This is tough, but it can be done. Here are your options:
Situation 1: If you are standing in the back..
Like the beginning section, the back is the eastiest. Instead of standing farther away, stand right behind one of the two wheel holders and face towards the middle of the opening. This is harder then it seems, because too far away from the middle, you will either:
1. Hit one of the two wheel holders.
2. Get in the opening- but not knock him out because it might hit the edge of his opening.
Now to get it in the the little opening, when positioned facing the middle, hold down the insert key until his opening opens (lol that's catchy), and wait until your bar is very low. If your pie is too high, better chances it won't get in the opening via going too high. By the way, make sure u change yur TAB so u can see not just u, but the VP too because every once in a while, he wil shoot gears at you. Just step backwards and jump- or run by his opening. Basically anywhere other then where you were standing. When the gears stop coming, go back to your spot. When he is stunned, move back and try not to get hit. Then position yourself again. Repeat.
Situation 2: If you are standing in the front..
This is a little more difficult, like the back, position yourself just right to face the middle and wait until the pie bar is low. When he is knocked out, stun him, position yourself again. Repeat. The only thing which makes front harder then back is..
1. If u don't stun him quick enough, he will keep moving to where he started, and he might hit you.
2.If u get hit because he moves up too close, and you don't back away, u will get an additional 5 laff taken away.
3.In the front he shoots a lot of gears out everywhere, not just at one person. If your not to close enough to one of his wheel holders, u will get hit. Don't get too close though! (refer to #2 of this 3 point list.)
When he gets on the slopes, his openings are hard to get a pie into unless u are at range, which is very hard then. I recommend going to the back, unless you are the only one in the front. When he is not on the slope, go back in the front and position yourself to hit a pie in the middle.
I hope this guide helps people in the future. Some feedback will help! Tell me if there are typos or things that don't make sence and I will fix them. Phew! Time to play toontown now.
