There is no fucking way in hell that this fight was properly playtested. The RNG factor alone can make it literally impossible to get an S-rank on this fight. This fight is more of a matter of just constantly resetting until you get 3 pink blowfish AND it's actually possible to parry them without having to throw yourself into a ghost or fireball or fucking whatever, than actually avoiding attacks and dealing damage I've S-ranked almost every fight in the game and this is the only one that has managed to make me fucking mad with how utterly unfair it is. Would it really kill the devs to make some of the eels' projectiles pink or maybe the skulls in the final phase? It's such a simple fix and it makes the fight actually fucking playable. Don't try to argue that the sheer scarcity of pink projectiles is intentional because every other fight on isle 3 has an abundance of them.
The final phase is such fucking bullshit. >get hit by the medusa sonar only to get hit by a skull as soon as I mash out of the statue, 5+ TIMES IN A ROW Niggera should have at least made the sonars dodgeable or have her spit out pink skulls every once in a while.

I completely fucking agree, I've S-ranked the fight and I don't feel like I got gud, I just got lucky, fuck that bullshit.

That's bullshit and you know it
Isaiah Jenkins
I kept having to replay her fight to S-rank it, but I got to replay her fight so it's cool. Seriously, if her whole expert fight had just been the first phase getting faster with the summons I would have been a-ok with it.

After checking out a bunch of shitty let's play videos from my country it seems people mostly enjoy Cuphead for nostalgiabait and for being genuinely unique.
John Myers
I s ranked it in two tries and I suck at vidya.

D ranking her fight literally comes down to luck.

Jacob Roberts
you're a dense ass fuck there's plenty of other bosses that don't throw pink projectiles in the last phase either, it's just a case of training your reflexes so you can sneak past incoming ghosts and fireballs and quickly going from small to normal to parry the pufferfish. i bet you struggled with goopy le grande, you root fuck
Carter Price
You sound like you're really bad at videos games desu.
Aiden Perez
THICC and all that, but that's honestly a good homage to Ursula, even though the little mermaid is 90's
Henry Barnes
Yeah, I guess would need some pretty shitty luck to get a D rank.
Cooper Myers
Have you only beaten her once? Sometimes she only spawns two fucking pufferfish before shifting into her second form, if you beat her quickly enough sometimes she won't spawn any pufferfish at all. That's the issue here.
Alexander Hughes
Lara is cuter
Joshua Campbell
What are you talknig? >NOSTALGIA ??
Carson Perez
who here /S ranked that fucking robot/? fucker ain't got shit on me.
David Butler
No amount of reflexes will help you if a pink pufferfish spawnes in the right side of the screen and you're simply unlucky with the timings of her attacks.
Not even the small plane if tiny enough to fit through the gaps.

>Not even the small plane if tiny enough to fit through the gaps Even then you have to switch back to normal to land the parry before switching back to the mini-plane.
Kind of makes me want Disney to go back to making platformers like they did in the 16-bit era. It's the perfect opportunity for their animators to work with traditional animation again instead of being stuck with CGI and the usual corporate limitations.

I don't remember bird noses in his work. All of his women either look like pic related or have generally round features to them.
Nathaniel Ortiz
There were plenty of background girls and minor characters with triangle noses. There's one in Black Jack vol 1 or 2, I can't remember which.
Ayden Kelly
Yes, yes, user. Everyone knows about that exploit it isn't impressive.
Mason Diaz
I know Tezuka's seinen stuff is generally Sup Forums-disapproved but I always thought this lady from Adolf stood out as particularly unique

Lincoln Nelson
You know what was actually not playtested? The fucking monkey.
Nathaniel Sullivan
I dunno how common this is but the entire third island of Cuphead was the easiest to me overall because it's when I got used to its more unique mechanics like parrying, invincible dash, and holding down a button to become small and go faster (as opposed to the typical shmup where you hold down a button to go *slower*). Once those gameplay elements clicked I stopped having trouble. Cuz he "failed at being mature and was pretentious" or w/e I dunno. Could be samefagging, hard to tell if something is 'consensus' or one person constantly posting that opinion on /m/ and Sup Forums along with other dumb shit like "his only important manga is from the New Treasure Island era and New Treasure Island was 100% a ripoff of Donald Finds Pirate Gold".
The seinen one I'm personally not big on is MW but only because I think he tried too hard to make his style super-serious and semi-realistic which I don't think he was great at. Stuff like Ode to Kirihito and Adolf has dark themes but is cartoony-styled and thus works well with his talents.
Ryder Walker
If you get close to the robot's heart after it gets the black splotches and hit it with the bomb's EX a couple times you will knock him out skipping the last two phases.
Andrew Ortiz
>Fuck you, yes i'm bad. You didn't really need to make a thread to tell us this.
Tyler Bell
You mean in the King Dice boss rush? I dunno why you'd have specific trouble with that.
Dominic Ward
Every once in a while I'd have a run where he'd just freeze up in place as soon as I matched half the cards, it was great.
Blake Robinson
>invincible dash I probably would have actually used the smoke bomb or the dash if I could have bound dash to shift but I rarely used it. Same with shrinking.
Juan Reyes
>getting hit on the final phase >ever
The skulls are so fucking slow, stay on the far end and mash out being frozen before they even get close to you.
Zachary Gomez
I dunno how the keyboard controls work; can't you just map actions to any key?
I actually played a lot of games with a keyboard, stuff with a very "WHAT THE FUCK DO NOT EVER USE A KEYBOARD FOR THIS" reputation like fighting games. But I actually had a working controller when I got Cuphead so I never bothered with the keyboard.
Colton Long
>like fighting games fighting games are actually a decent genre to use a keyboard. If you map the keys right it's essentially a poor man's hitbox.
But I get what you mean.
Nolan Hill
The thing is that the sonars always coincide with the fucking skulls so that they hit me the exact moment I manage to mash out.
Lincoln Sanchez
The game will refuse to let you map shift or ctrl to any of the buttons. As soon as you press it in the binding it'll show up for a split second then disappear. You have to bind something else to them. Won't let you use the mouse buttons either, but that I understand since you don't usually use the mouse anyway. Despite some other games I've played being like that and letting you.
Jordan Cooper
I've had to make do with caps lock for dash which is just awkward to hit with your pinkie for a dodge button so I almost never use it unless I have to to make a long jump.
David Thompson
I came for the amazing aesthetic.
I stayed for the cup porn. then came some more.

why does this exist
Nolan Johnson
Man. As much as I love cuphead's final state I kinda almost wish it was an rpg to explore this cartoon world and get to know the characters you are hunting down the souls of.
Evan Rivera
What's the plot of Cuphead anyway?
t. user who's too poor to play the game
Christopher Turner
You don't even have someone to family share it like I did?
Austin Gonzalez
But anyway. Cuphead and Mugman stumbled upon devil's casino and decided to gamble. Turns out today was their lucky day and won constantly. Devil showed up, not happy losing his money like any sleezy casino owner when confronted with someone who is winning a lot. Offers a fuckton of riches if they win again but will take their souls if they lose. They lose and devil gets ready to take their souls. Cuphead and Mugman beg to keep their lives. Devil agrees if they hunt down and take the souls of all the other's to fucked off after making a deal with him to keep their souls.

James Ward
>Sup Forums disapproved
So that means it's good right?
Henry Thomas
Well Cuphead and his pal Mugman, they like to roll the dice. By chance they came ‘pon Devil's game and gosh they paid the price! And now they're fighting for their lives on a mission fraught with dread! And if they proceed but don't succeed... Well.... The Devil will take their heads!

I'm not against downloading games from the internet. I do use emuparadise. But I'm not going to be a retard and torrent anything, especially a new hot flavor of the month game that presents a prefect opportunity to sneak shit in with. Especially not when I can just play it for free from my girlfriend's family share with no risk.
hey does anybody in this thread wanna fuck the fly in the background of the frog level. cuz i do

Literally the easiest boss in the game. Use the damn bombs and you destroy most of his phases before he can even get a shot off.

Bombs only solve the sarcophagus phase. Everything else gets at least a volley before going down.
Noah Reyes
You only need to move slightly to avoid the puppet's bullets, user. And you can lead the hat so its easier to avoid its iron balls.

>make it to the last phase of cala maria's fight >literally one second after the head comes off she petrifies me (far earlier than she normally does the ten million times i've gotten this far) and I get hit by the skull i just want this to be done i've spent literally all day on this i fucking hate this so much but i've come so far and i have to finish please fucking put me out of my misery
John Wilson
bombs make quick work of the last phase
William Jones
Stand on his goddamn pipe during the last phase and move back into the pyramid circle once he fires his forehead beam. This strategy was a fucking gamechanger for me. You can also cut the time you spend on his sarcophagus form significantly by bombing him right before he summons the pillars and disappears.
Jayden Young
Sarcophagus is eziest for me because I just sit in the upper-right corner and drop bombs. I always lose hp on the puppet phase and often in the first one. Then I'm with 1 hp on last phase and I'm not gud enough to do it with 1 hp.
