The biggest hurdle to Christopher Robin to me is the time investment. It's like 15-20 minutes per attempt. That exceeds the limits of my patience.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
You can just refresh the page and it'll save your progress. If you miss like 4 of your first 10, it's probably worth it to just start over already.

I got 37 on him. I needed to hit the last 6 out to beat him and proceeded to completely whiff on 3 of the next 4. I think I'm done trying this.

I could be playing Gungrave right now, but no, I have to finally beat Tigger after all these years.
I'd put in some lyrics to whatever song is stuck in my head currently here, but it's an instrumental. Dang.

Yep, once you have max stats, learn to reset upon failure. Miss the first one? Reset. Miss like 4 of the first 10? Reset.

Grinding to the point of max stats has to take several hours right

Because even when it took me hours just to get to CR in the past I was never close to maxing them

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

This makes me feel better about my own inadequacies.

Shouldn't take long at all.
Time to keep track of CR attempts.

Attempt #1 - 19 Home Runs. Max consecutive: 4

At least 15 must have gone over the right foul pole. They had the distance but my timing was just fractionally too slow. Another 8 or so were unhittable owl garbage, but those might become possible once i'm done maxing stats. For a first attempt he seems less intimidating than I remember.
I don't care how good one gets at the game - no pitch from Owl is ever a guaranteed Home Run even if you're playing perfectly.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Attempt #1 - 19 Home Runs. Max consecutive: 4

Attempt #2 - 21 Home Runs. Max consecutive: 3

Only slightly better than attempt 1. On the positive side of things I made contact with nearly everything. Perhaps only 1 or 2 got by as a whiff. Lots of foul/hits though.

Attempt #3 - 29 Home Runs. Max consecutive: 5

Much better! Sadly I had about 10 whiffs on this one, but nearly everything I made contact with was a home run. My speed is maxed and now I just need to max Contact (16/20) and Power (15/20)
Attempt #4 - 24 Home Runs. Max consecutive: 7

This one was an interesting one. I decided I would try to keep track of which balls I saw by using a pen/paper and marking them during home runs. Here is what I have marked down.

Eeyore/Lumpy/Piglet - 7 HR out of 12 thrown.

Kanga - 6 HR out of 15 thrown.

Rabbit - 6 HR out of 7 thrown.

Owl - 1 HR out of 8 thrown (ouch!).

Tigger - 5 HR out of 8 thrown.

I have E, L and P all in one category because their throws are all just regular flat throws and at least as far as I can tell there is no way to distinguish them from each other. So based on that I saw significantly more Kanga than anything else, and I was god awful at owl, as one would expect. I'll try to keep these numbers for a few attempts and see if it tells me anything. It was a little hectic though getting my hand back on the mouse in time for the next toss sometimes.

Attempt #5 - 29 Home Runs. Max consecutive: 9

I had a pretty nice streak of 9 on this one. Missed a lot of easy ones though. Had 50% on owl though, which is nice. I'm going to need good owl luck combined with not screwing up on easy ones.

ELP - 8/15
K - 5/11
R - 6/7
O - 5/10
T - 5/7

.

Attempt #6 - 29 Home Runs. Max consecutive: 6

3rd run out of my last 4 ending at 29. It started with 4 straight misses though which is just rotten timing on my part.

ELP - 4/6
K - 6/11
R - 7/9
O - 4/11
T - 8/13
Attempt #7 - 31 Home Runs. Max consecutive: 6

New record is nice, but 5 out of my last 10 pitches were owl and they were all misses. I could have put up a 35 easy with the run I was on. Contact is maxed now and Power is at 18. I just need to put together a bit more consistency and i'll do this.

ELP - 10/14
K - 7/11
R - 7/9
O - 3/11
T - 4/5

Gonna take a break now and try again in earnest later tonight.
Damnit FD I don't want to burn my soul away trying to challenge CR stop giving motivation

Give in!

Also I started my progression over. I determined that I was losing several HRs each attempt to A) having an old PC and B) Chrome being a bloated nightmare at times.

So I downloaded the .swf file and a program to play it with. It runs a million times better not-in-chrome. Wont take long to max stats again.
Is this game played ironically? I got bored after the first 2 levels. It's just the same thing over and over.
Bells, bells, bells!
Its played seriously
No more Waifus, just Wife for me thanks.
I'm not surprised.

Every once in a while lag from chrome causes just enough of a delay to completely ruin a pitch

My stats aren't maxed yet but I've already had a 38 on the swf file. Its ridiculously better and i highly recommend doing it that way. Combined with recognizing which pitch types i was struggling the most with this deed is as good as done.
I got to owl without failing

Failed on owl like 3 times and got bored. Attempts take too long.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
How do you even get a swf file

Just beat Tigger!

Christopher Robin...yeah, I don't think this one's happening. I don't think I've got the dedication for it.

You view the web pages source and put the url for the swf file at the end of the website name. When you try to open that page it prompts you to download the swf

I can get you the proper link when im home from work later if you need it.
Eh you know what it isn't worth the hassle

That really is a new low

This happened years ago and it wasn't contained to B8!

Oh

Ok then, I have it but I haven't touched it yet

Not sure I will either. Feels kinda skeevy.

I'm not sure what's supposed to be skeevy about it. Isn't it just a free flash game?

Anyways the link to download it is:

https://www.gamesloon.com/games/flash/54790.swf

Then you just need a flashplayer to play the file. Viola, you have the game without the nasty chrome-induced misses.
Just put up a 36 in which I missed 3 rabbits and 2 tiggers. Was at 13 power, 17 contact and 20 speed so still not maxed yet. Home stretch though.
Had a 38 last night.

I was at 32 with 10 pitches left and choked hard. Only 2 of those final 4 misses were owl balls.
