Talk:Holiday Punch

Inital findings

Been using these and found that on a laughing victim hits from behind do not crit, doing regular damage, that or the "behind" refers to a range similar to the backburner and not one of the spy's knives. They're also effective when paired with a steak sandwich, and the taunt they use is Showdown like the fists, not the boxing-themed taunt of the KGB and other gloves.

Craftability?

I was just wondering if it is possible to craft this with tokens, or if it truly is unbox only. MartianSanta 16:52, 16 December 2011 (PST)

No, it doesn't have a craft class, so tokens won't work. Balladofwindfishes 16:52, 16 December 2011 (PST)

To quote the page itself, All 14 community items are ONLY AVAILABLE through the Nice Crates. 17:21, 16 December 2011 (PST)

Thanks. I was just hoping that it could be done...time to bargain. MartianSanta 18:46, 16 December 2011 (PST)

The Holiday Punch has been made craftable as of December 21th, and is now craftable and purchasable, to answer your question.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Apparition (talk) • (contribs) 17:46, 4 January 2012

Mislisted?

Wouldn't this item be mislisted as Fists instead of Boxing Gloves? The same goes for the Apoco-Fists. Strider 20:04, 16 December 2011 (PST)

Unused Kill icon?

I never seen it in game play. I saw only punch icon without laugh people. Should I add it to bug? Hinaomi 11:05, 17 December 2011 (PST)

Crit-Boost and Holiday Punch

The wiki says:"Critical hits given by crit-boost items like the Kritzkrieg that are not from behind will deal normal critical damage", but this is clearly disproved in the demonstration video on the 1 second mark. Kritz hits will always cause laughter. I just removed that bit for now because I don't know how other crit-boost affect the Punch. Anyone else want to add to that? - DAn 17:45, 1 March 2012 (PST)

When I did my testing with them, I found that the Buffalo Steak Sandvich resulted in crit-boosted damage and not laughter; someone edited this to the Krtizkreig for some reason. It might have different effects based on the source of the crits? Alioramus 23:46, 1 March 2012 (PST)

Technically speaking Buffalo Steak gives you Mini-crits, not full crits. I was not sure whether the Punch's crit hits, through other means(http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Crits#Crit_boost), would cause laughter or damage DAn 13:14, 2 March 2012 (PST)

Ubercharge

someone told me that the Holiday Punch will make a player under the influence of a Medigun's ubercharge laugh, can anyone confirm or deny this? Alioramus 23:48, 1 March 2012 (PST)

I think that was already documented on this page. In fact it does in the second paragraph.--Fiskie ^{Talk :: Contribs} 13:52, 2 March 2012 (PST)

Laugh time

Using a chronometer and the Schadenfreude demonstration, I found approximatives times of laugh (Scout = 4,8sec; Soldier = 4,6sec; Pyro = 4,8sec; Demoman = 5,1sec; Heavy = 4,8sec; Engineer = 3,5sec; Medic = 4,6sec; Sniper = 3,3sec; Spy = 6,4sec), and when I was trying to add them in the "Damage and function times", it fail... Someone know how to put them in the board ? Lykrast 05:23, 1 April 2012 (PDT)

Angle of effect?

Does anyone else think that the angle at which the effect takes effect should be included in the article? Even a rough estimate would suffice, but it would definitely be useful to know whether it's the whole back 180° like a backstab or if it's closer to the Backburner's range of effect.
