How to Stop Sucking at Cuphead - Five Tricks you might not know
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- Back when I started Cuphead, no one sucked more than me. Do you know how many hours I spent dying to almost every boss? But through hours and hours of playing, I am now a semi-average-decent Cuphead player who now sucks a little bit less. Here's five of the tricks I've used to get where I am today.
This video assumes you know the basics like... "Buy new weapons, change your controls until it feels comfortable, actually SHOOT the boss, etc." You're not a noob. We both know that.
I've looked at a few popular "Cuphead tips and tricks" videos on RUclips and I've tried to put stuff that wasn't already repeated too often.
Note that I'm not following a guide or stealing someone else's stuff. These were all tips that I learned on my own. - Игры
Let me help you out there, friend.
Tip 1 - 0:52
Tip 2 - 1:58
Tip 3 - 3:59
Tip 4 - 5:01
Tip 5 - 5:39
My favourite boss is Werner Werman he looks neet also I use homing shots shot a also charge shots shot b

Here's 1 more tip: Sometimes staying still is the best.
Few bosses have blank spots that they don't attack. Exploit that.
Thank you for specifying the RIGHT weapon instead of the best weapon! All of the videos and reddit posts I've seen tend to overlook the fact that if you're playing for the first time from scratch, you don't have access to the "best" weapons or charms early in the game.
Plus, some weapons are better than others heavily depending on the boss.
For example, the Lobber is awesome against Grim and Rumor, but not Baroness and Phantom Express.
@@pantheman2842 it also depends on the person sometimes
ExXxactly TF Lmsao Riiiiiiiiittttttteeeee We Don't Have Any Of Those Weapons Starting The Game So how about a video that explains how to get those weapons Einstein 😭
@@pantheman2842 Tbh I’ve only had to change my weapons once for Grim Matchstick
Yes, I use converge when I don’t have to use the joystick very often, and use spread shot for better dmg, and chaser for homing
One thing that I observed about Cuphead is that you watch the body cues from the bosses. They aren't necessarily telegraphing their moves. They set up for the attacks. You should prepare to dodge the moves. For example, Ribby (whichever wears the white outfit) leans backwards before throwing a quick barrage of fireballs. Goupie (whatever the bouncing character is) pulls his head back before attempting to headbutt you. He pulls out a boxing glove (after taking the growth pills) before trying to punch you.
One of the ones I see most people mess up on is in grim matchstick’s Boss where he opens his mouth before he turns into a flamethrower on the third phase
@@Nitroglycerinconsumer It's really easy to overlook since your eyes try to focus on avoiding fireballs and platforming and also all 3 heads are constantly moving. I focus more on sound cues in that case
Goopy*
Sometimes there are fakeouts. Probably not always intentional, but for example in Sally Stageplay's transition from the first phase to the second she teleports to the background using the same parasol mouth animation that signals one of her phase one attacks where she's about to make a fast drop on you. And more often than not you can tell when it's the attack and when it's a transition but sometimes she can pull a fast one on you and make it seem like she's transitioning, however it actually turns out to be her drop attack and only after she finishes it she finally moves on to phase 2. Very sneaky.
@@danielc9509 yeah, you can also use the sound cues.
Oh my. I would have never beaten the game without the weapon lock. It's really useful, especially since I used Peashooter and Spread my first time fighting basically every boss.
Oh god we are the same peashoter main and spread secondary weapon is the best
What is weapon lock? And how do you do it? He didn’t explain that in this video.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 go back to the tutorial, that’ll help (I can’t tell you which button it is, cause I don’t what console you use)
You're the only youtuber that helped me beat expert mode. Thank you so much I can die happy now 😂
Aw shucks! Glad I could help buddy
DLC dropping in 2 months... really excited!!
@@JustoAllDay hey pls help. what tips do you have for fighting plane bosses? I can’t beat them fast enough for an S rank. The plane boss in world 1 makes me look like a clown. Whether I utilize the device relic or ms chalice, I can’t beat them fast enough.
@@jacobh3554 when you use the divine relic whetstone his ass. Helped me speed a lot of phases
I just beat the game earlier today before having watched this video just now. All of these are extremely valuable tips and probably the most important advice for the game. I definitely increased my playtime by a lot by constantly restarting if I took a hit early, racked up over 100 hrs on my first playthrough so I still sucked but I got a lot better throughout. Some of the later bosses I found myself being pretty good with and not having as steep a learning curve with. It's a great game and a great feeling to have beaten it
Nice work!! That's awesome!
I restart as soon as i take a hit early too but we know its because we are gonna need that health for the later boss
choosing the right layout is absolutely key. that said, I don't think I have encountered a level where roundabout isn't a huge asset
Da dragon third phase
@@Bouldinger Peashooter is better for the flame attacks and lobber is better for the flamethrower
i just use crackshot and charge for everything, its a combination of two of the most useful weapons for every boss, and if the boss is hard to hit, i use crackshot, if the boss is still, i use charge.
@@stephenclaridge5654 now with crackshot available, pairing it with charge is hard to argue with.
6:21 I actually find chaser really good against the first phase, because it targets the eye balls and it destroys them before you even get hit, also in my opinion Ms chalice is good for it too
@WhiteManCandyVan use converge
@@ibrahimatteya5630 Converge was literally the reason I could even beat Phantom Express.
Chaser is actually pretty good for Phantom Express in general despite its weakness.
The peashooter is the best for me, since it does decent damage, and if you start shooting at the right time, it can destroy all the balls before they even get on the cart.
@@pacifistichuman82649 I used converge
Trying to s-rank grimm... These tips helped a lot, thanks!
Great!! I'm happy I was able to help you out 😁
Same with me but im tryna beat it lol
I've finished cuphead it's pretty hard also thanks for commenting and liking my video! 😆
I’m a pro and it gets easier but I’m sure you’re a god now because we’ll 2years ago
I’m a pro and it gets easier but I’m sure you’re a god now because we’ll 2years ayo
Bonus tip:
Use dash to go through narrow passage.
For you see, when Cuphead dashes, his hitbox gets shorter. So you can dash in stead of ducking sometimes.
he mentioned that
3:13 I have the the exact same problem with this. she has cost me so many runs because that happened so many times. Thanks for the help.
5:01 I also had this problem, with Wally Warbles or Dijimmi the great. When every I saw some pink sword or bird, it was instinct which was costing me ALOT of time
mAN, U ACTUAL LEGEND, BRO, IM SO GLAD U COULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING SO WELL IN DETAILL (especially the dashing section, eVERYONE NEEDED THAT)
thanks so much for making a good video about this topic
Yo, I love your vids! This is so underrated! You certainly deserve more views
The tip about using the right weapon can also be applied with charms. For example, my go to charm is smoke dash and I use it for as many bosses as I can. However, for some bosses, using a different charm can save you a lot of trouble. For example, I found that using the parry sugar charm or whatever it is in phantom express is better then smoke dash because there is a lot of parrying in that level. And for airplane levels, smoke dash doesn’t do much, so something like coffee is much better as it will help you defeat the airplane bosses quicker.
Just to note, the smoke bomb charm during the airplanes actually gives a bit of invincibility when going small.
@@mal2138 Oh, I never knew that! Thanks for telling me that!
I have been trying to figure out how to buy/get the coffee charm, and I can’t figure it out because it isn’t available at the shop lol.
Oye...this game..I love it but it frustrates me so
Thanks for the insight! I have a few more tricks up my sleeve now :)
No problem! Hope it helps you out 😁
I love the way you present it. And love your comments
On djimmy the great I got past the tomb stone wave bc I spammed pause giving me time to react. The problem is that there is a menu in the way but I still manage to dodge the attacks
thanks for the tips!
Good show mate, quite nice indeed! So nice in fact that I'm feeling cheeky and typing with a bloody English accent!
This is first time i see an actual person who has chat rules
Subbed, just starting the game, big help, thank you! 🙏💯😃
This is good to hear RIGHT
(not even five minutes ago)
after I beat the entire main story and every boss in the DLC except for salt
Helped me extremely by remapping the buttons
Also just so people know the weapon lock is good for Cagney carnation because when he goes across the whole screen I sometimes accidentally fall through shooting him by jumping and the weapon lock prevents that.
Congrats on the 900 subs
Ahh, stopping the succ. My only obstacle so far to a successful life.
I have no idea how i missed some of these
Great tips and I employed the dash on Briney Beard in the exact same fashion as you did-I like your style, dude-when I’m trying for an S rank yeah man 3 parry’s and I forget about it. CupHead is the most creative, punishing/rewarding game I’ve ever played! I had to pre-order the collectors edition. Thanks for sharing, man!
For number 2 you could also use smoke bomb if you have it equipped
Ok I found lobber really useful for the first two parts of grim matchstick, but more useful for stage 2 because your in the sky especially since the lobber goes down when u shoot and kinda bounces, and grim matchstick is on the bottom left corner of the screen and it does good damage. I also think peashooter is best for his 3rd stage, u could make some shots on lobbet but when one of the heads isn’t shooting fire on the middle row I totally recommend peashooter. So if your having trouble on grim matchstick like I did use lobber and peashooter
charge might be better for the final phase just so that you dont explode the fireballs
It's good to switch weapons, unless you have dlc then you use crackshot the whole game, it's really good
Exepct Grim on the last phase
I used to be a god at the game, killing dr kahl in 2 or 3 tries, but after 3 years of not playing, I even forgot the controls, so I am trying to get good again
Dr kahl is ez
@@s.a.t.a.n6216 Yea cus I bet u literally just started playing when DLC came out, so you can cheat and use the new weapons.
@@PugsAreCool262 well, new weapons aren't that great against him, especially the new EX moves on chalice in air fights, they're far more situative and aren't very useful in Dr Kahl's robot
@@Ne_Ne_Vova_UA Dude, the comment’s a year old….
@@PugsAreCool262 yes, and?
I have a feeling that if this guy suffered what I did I’d give him respect
Justo: ''Stop sucking at Cuphead get gud ya idiot and stop calling Dr. Kahl's Robot a hard boss!''
Also Justo: Struggles with what's quite literally the easiest boss in all of Cuphead: _The damn Pawns._
Not even lying, I self taught myself all this during my first play through!
with the dlc there are 2 tricks to be good
1 equip the crackshot
2 equip the smoke dash charm
Nice advice my boy
For ribby and croaks i used roundabout and spread shot too
Never played cuphead but thank's for the tips😁
Tip 6: activate chameleon mode and see 2 places at once
Despite how difficult this game is, I wouldn’t call it “unfair” because the obstacles stay consistent and go in a pattern, so once you learn from your mistakes you can beat the bosses fairly easily
I saw this video and then beat cuphead two days after, this tutorial was amazing!
h-how!?!?
I’m a cuphead pro but u just make this good to watch
JSAB players when they play airplane levels in cuphead: *ultra instinct dodging time...*
Also for the dash u could use smoke bomb
First: get lobber and boomerang to use glitch
Second: congrats you did it!
They patched it my man
You dont even know that much if you say that
if someone wants a combination, here: boomerang , Lobber, bullets/ now charm< smoke or Automatic PARRY/ Super art 3 / i know this is a noob combination
I never knew how to play Cuphead, but now I’m learning, I’m getting better, but I wanna find new Ability’s to have a better Shooter, and more Health.
Tysm
great vid i lovee it
Thank you!
Little tip for anyone you can dash under some crouchableobject
Bro this is actually funny to watch the way you talk hahahahha
I got this game like two weeks ago and I’m almost on the Devil Ty Ty
before dlc: use right guns use right ults and use right charms
after dlc crackshot + ms chalice = s rank
Sending this to my big brother.
I literally ALWAYS die for trying to parry.
Spread in Sharjah are the best weapons but if you don’t have charge just use p-shot
The only thing I do is practice and I mean practice! I will spend an hour or more on one boss to get the hang of beating them! So far it's worked and if I can't I just do the simple version and come back to the regular when I'm ready
I'm doing all of these, playing since 2020 and I'm pretty good. I got cuphead 4 days ago and I'm fighting murine. It's not that it's hard, it's the fact that I battled him last time long time ago and I forgor his attacks. Only murine and the train left.
Can you please tell me the easiest way to get passed junkyard jive please ? He is the last person I need to beat to get the king dice
This game is truly a great. And an absolute nightmare. Lol
It's been a whole hour of me trying to kill the freaking carrot, I'm putting the blame on the slee0
thanks i was just doing my expert run
what controller do you use
You know whats funny, On The robot. The other day I just decided to start being good and I just one try it now😭
how did you do those insane parries in ribby and croaks?
Parry Sugar I think
Sc2 player here, I immediately thought that macro dodging was making a solid eco
i love how i watch this video then i immediately beat cagney. lol.
imagine watching this as a newbie in cuphead and you get the whole game spoiled
0:10 he killed the thingy with a uncharged shot
or for 3:30 you use one of the most useful charms smoke dash.
Do you play cuphead on switch? If so, can you tell me how to get it to yt?
Cool thing: weapon lock lets you shoot down
I literally die everywhere in this game I play a lot of games but this is the hardest one by far
get the right weopen and use dash at the right time me who is just trying to beat hilda berg and either of those working: spongebob popsicle user has stopped working
I was using smoke bomb all the time when I first picked up cuphead. But now every time I play I try my damn does not to use it, I feel like it's a crutch
For the dash part I feel like you can just Yule smoke grenade but I dosent let you stay in the air for to long
Actually. I did learn some trial and Error. and to learn how to improve
How do you get weapon lock?
Isn’t Cuphead one of those games that was more or less designed from the ground up to be extremely challenging and difficult? 😐😑
Yes but that doesn’t mean advice isn’t needed
How do you switch weapons mid game like that
In my opinion the bests weapons on the bee fight is the boomerang thing and lobber
How are you so good you need to teach me your moves
This is just simple video game knowledge
Cool Tipp: just being good at the game
ive beaten every boss on regular except for junkyard jive the robot
King Dice 2nd boss name is Chips Bettigan
I've s ranked every boss. Even saltbaker. I don't know why I'm watching this
Pros at cuphead usually use the crack shot maybe lobber or like spread
the problem is that my dumbass unconscious part of my mind decided that it would be a good idea to dodge INTO the attack of the boss, especially during the plane missions...
Dashing I'd good in some situations but if you were me trying to get the max relic ITS SO HARD
Very funny
For me roundabout was the best for me
Had to wait 4 years for teh doc wepons and the new character before I could the the normal game
Me: Sees Justo playing spread challenge
Me again: Hey! I did something similar! But it weakens my attack power and it took so frickin long
I clicked on this video and a cuphead ad showed up lol
I suck more than he did most likely I had trouble beating any boss or even a run and gun level and would love to know how to just be able to get to inkwell isle 2 and would need to be able to survive
Wow good information what else is new
I am watching this all though I have beat’n it
