Damn. That sucks. I'm just glad you got to play it, tbh. Hope you're enjoying it?~
Yea it's challenging, but in a fun way. More than anything, I'm getting a real kick out of the visuals and music
Yeah, the art style is cute.
I think i would get my ass kicked if i tried. Even with co-op, the shooting might just make me dizzy. ^_^ ;
Have the devs acknowledged the random random performance issues yet? Any word of a patch coming?
Yes I believe, in particular, some hitches in Rugged Ridge got flagged to the devs earlier in this thread and they acknowledged it.
Thank you!
I was gonna pick it up on Xbox, but I may get this version in that case.
Playing through this game at the moment. Made it to the third world. This game is much harder than I expected. That dragon was making me very angry...
I haven't tried expert seriously yet lol
I checked out one of the first bosses and was like nope, later.
The devil is kicking my ass. Its one of my least favourite fights because of those fucking blue flame circles that drop down on the second and third phases that seem almost impossible to dodge. He can stick his trident up his hairy arse.
I'm a bit curious, what was Cuphead's reception in Japan once it hit the Switch? Did it review/sell well?
Finally got an S-Rank in every level and got all achievements. I purchased the game on the Xbox on release date, and I wasn't able to get S-Ranks in most of the levels that time, but on Switch it was kinda easier (well, not easier... more like less difficult).
I think it was because I played the game entirely on portable mode and I could focus more on the screen? Anyway... Glad I completed the game and ready for the DLC.
And here are all the achievements. I hope I could unlock those achievements on the Xbox somehow in the future (by linking my Gamertag to my Switch or something).
And Teeth... As a native Spanish speaker (Latin America), I want to tell you guys that the translation was top notch. It perfectly captures the same tone as the original English language.
It was an excellent idea to have both Latin America and European Spanish translations.

An S-rank in every level! And I was almost screaming when I beat that blue blob on the first island last night, C-rank!
Game is awesome though, I just need to play it more but MK11 is in the way.

It's pattern memorization. You just need to focus on a single level and try and try again. Restart the level immediately after getting hit. I also use the Heart charm for the bosses where I didn't need the Smoke Bomb charm.
The most difficult levels for me were the plane ones, definitely.
And my favorite weapon is definitely 100% the Roundabout. Fuck the Charge Shot. Roundabout is the real deal.

This is great to hear. There's basically no way for us to know whether the localization is as good as they can be, so we just had to trust our localizers and testers. It's good to know at least the Latin American localization is good!
Hehe. Shows how much I know. I saw the Japanese writing, and thought I was on to something. Cuphead World Travelers would be cool as hell though. Japan, Thailand, Russia, France, Australia, Canada, India etc.. So many potentially cool boss fights based on world locations. Man, I wish Cuphead would update annually.
Have I told you how much I adore your game?
Roundabout is fun, it takes true skill to maximize damage on the EX shot, by crossing up the boss like it's Marvel vs Capcom, so satisfying!
What a monster! I hope to finish on Expert, I don't have it what it takes to S-rank everything! What's your play time?Finally got an S-Rank in every level and got all achievements.

According to my Switch profile, more than 15 hours. But it doesn't say exactly how much.
It is absolutely infuriating that you don't have any invincibility frames after you pull off a super.
Only the nuke bomb on the airplane levels gives you invincibility frames, I believe.
Yeah, I know that one.
But there have been countless times where I have pulled off the Energy Beam super only to get hit right after
So you know how we used to say 'Wow, that 16 bit game looks so good, it looks like a cartoon!'.
Well I was thinking, obviously this IS a cartoon right? It's the HEIGHT of the craft. This is the pinnacle of making a game that looks like a cartoon! 20 years from now, you can go back to this game and say 'wow this game looks fantastic'. If someone were to attempt to make Cuphead decades from now, they would have trouble making it any better than it is now.
That's awesome.

You know what little thing made me enjoy the game even more? Knowing that our very own Teeth is the voice that says "Knockout!" after defeating a boss.
I really like this mechanic. It make you measure the reward/risk. Super smart!
So I still haven't beaten the game yet but I'm gonna give my overall thoughts on it. I think the game is......just too damn hard for my liking. I feel like it's just not satisfying when I beat a challenge. Why? Because I know there's no relief in it. I just know there's going to be absolutely no breathing room and the very next level will kick my ass.
There's no reasonable difficulty in between the hard fights. It's just super hard fight followed by super hard fight followed by super hard fight followed by super hard fight. No room to breathe whatsoever. It just leaves me feeling so drained all the time so I don't feel a sense of satisfaction or even feel like I'm getting any better at the game.
But mechanically the game is very strong. Controls well, looks absolutely gorgeous and sounds brilliant. So much personality. I mean I do think the gameplay is very good. I just wish the difficulty wasn't at 11 all the time. Have 11 difficulty fights, sure. But have some simpler ones in between to give the player breathing room.
I need to go play Sonic or something so my heart rate can go down.

I'm still struggling with it half way through the game. I wonder what a better way of doing it would be without over complications the controls.
I agree. There's no dramatic arc, just full climax all the time, makes for an unsatisfying ending. I appreciate the great art though, and ultimately you do get through the levels.
I thought one of the criteria for getting an S was doing the battle in under 2 minutes, but 2:04 did the job too for Hilda. Is time not a factor? I'm pretty sure it is...
Okay so does anybody else get a smug little rise out of people describing a boss that they're stuck on that you've already beaten?
I took down Grim Matchstick and the Cuckoo the other day, now reached Inkwell Isle 3. Still continues to be an amazing game, just wish I had time to play more!

Time is a factor, but they secretly give you like 5 extra seconds.
The best tip I can give is to initiate a parry earlier than you think. The parry frames are active for about 1/3 of a second, so don't try to hit the parry the EXACT frame you come into contact with the pink thing, do it slightly before you come into contact.
You can actually see how long the parry window is open. When you hit jump the second time in the air, you'll see a slight pink strip go around Cuphead. Find an open spot in a level and just watch how much travel you have in the air after initiating a parry and you'll see that it's pretty lenient.
So yeah, try parrying slightly earlier than you think.
Think I may need to shelve this game. I can't pass the dragon or cuckoo clock. I get to the last phase for both but can't pass them. I can only die so many times without getting frustrated to the point of not having any fun. And if I'm not having fun than it defeats the purpose of playing.
