Current Events > Cuphead finally went from 'hard but fun' to 'when will this shit be over?!'

(+) Yeah! (+)

To be fair it's my fault. I should have just maintained forward momentum through the game, as I only had about three bosses left in world 3. But then I got clued in by the turtle to try and beat the run and gun stages without killing anything.

Three of them were easy enough to get Pacifist, but attempting Pacifist in the quarry stage drained all my patience (fuck those pickax bastards and fuck those walls that require a perfectly-timed parry off of a parabolic projectile in the middle of a field of skipping satyrs to get over and fucking fuckity fuck that second lion mountain that clearly has a larger hitbox than the first). The mermaid and actress bosses were still fun, but the phantom train is where I had to draw the line until my patience replenishes.

Just thought I'd share my thoughts on a game that everyone else has probably moved on from.

You can actually parry of the wall's faces themselves. Yeah, I know I didn't know about that until I beat it too lol.

I think that'll make a world of difference, thanks :D

Phantom Express was frustrating as hell, but so far King Dice is a lot of fun. I've only made it to the man himself once and got instantly killed by a wall of cards, but hopefully he isn't that hard to figure out. Unless you're talking about the Devil...

...erm, okay, all the bosses leading up to King Dice are still fun (expect the rabbit in the hat), but the man himself is a complete dick: attempting to parry jump over wave after wave of cards is brutal.

And nothing frustrates me more deeply in this game than not timing a parry just right and taking a hit instead.

Parrying wasn't essential for survival / high scores in BotW, though. To be honest I never really learned the timing and hardly ever used it.

Cuphead is so 2017

Lobber + smoke dash = easy mode

While I recognize how vital smoke dash is, I A) am babby and constantly need the extra two health that the other charm provides, and B) have a really hard time getting used to not seeing exactly where Cuppy's dashing until he reappears, which throws off my timing.

Can't wait for the new DLC. Especially the music since I really liked Cuphead's soundtrack.

I dunno, learning how to parry makes Guardians x10 easier
