"I quite enjoy boss fights and stress."
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
little PSA for new people, when Amber says she's not gonna be good at something, she will be good at it lmao
i loved this episode! you did so good too, the whole of world one in a single episode is mad impressive! also, i love the voices you gave people in the intro, it was so fun haha
super excited for more of this! this episode flew by!
Yeah I'm 0% surprised at how good she is 😆 What's crazy is that she somehow still has time to comment on the background of the fights
seriously she is crushing it. to be fair Hollow knight is pretty good prep for this.
I’m genuinely so excited for the rest of this game. Your editing at the beginning with the 20s jazz filter on your voice?? GOLDEN!
"Is this game going to upset me?" Had you asked this before you started, I'd say absolutely, but then you did your first boss hitless, so I think you're gonna nail this
Customizing controls is normal and good. Don't ever feel bad about adjusting things so they work for you. Constantly fighting controls can make a 10/10 game something you don't even want to play.
Also, your videos are always so much fun! I'm super excited for this series. 😁🍀
That frog cardigan is just delightful!
I want one
"Oh shit I just ate a carrot, he probably hates me" made me crack up. He's here to avenge his devoured siblings!
51:14 "oh-oh dear" perfectly describes cagney carnation's gatling gun attack
Having shoot on the left face button (X for xbox) is a pretty traditional setup, but I can see someone wanting it on a trigger. I moved dash to R2 to make it like Hollow Knight.
Ha! I did the same thing!
The onion only cries IF you shoot it. If you dont then you get a completely different secret boss phase. Very cool
There are a few bosses that do this!
Never knew that!
Amber laughing as she loses her sanity has to be the cutest thing I've watched in a while... I would totally go mad in a blink at this game (and I know a few friends that did), which is why I never bought it in the first place, but I enjoy watching people managing to overcome its challenges.
It's honestly not quite as brutal as many folks say. It just requires the same sort of patience as games like Dark Souls (it's fairer than early DS, too). It got its reputation because the charming art-style attracted a lot of folks unfamiliar with that sort of game.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth its honestly way easier now with dlc weapons and charms at least until you get on expert mode 😭
dude the hours i spent grinding the 2 frog bosses and you getting it so quick is so sick
In your defence, she got super lucky and never rolled Tiger on the slot machine. That one's by far the hardest to dodge.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth bull was always hardest for me
Everyone tells me how frustrating this game is, which I why I never bothered to play it.
@@TurnerTurnip You're missing out.
There is something peaceful and calming about watching Amber play frustrating games.
My favorite Amber phrases are "I did-jit" and "Oh I don't like that"
I love the frog cardigan!
Also I very much relate to not wanting to talk over King Dice's song, when I reached that point I literally just sat there and listened to the whole song before actually going through his dialogue.
OH MY GOD! you've just made my day
also, your hair? love it!
Yay, I'm so excited to see you play Cuphead! You have a way of embracing games and their characters, and I'm excited to see that in Cuphead's unique ambiance.
That is the longest I've ever seen anyone go without taking a hit to start the game. This is going to be a great playthough to supplement Emma's Hollow Knight playthough :)
Emma's Hollow knight?
@@kenlykkeslett7501lol, Amber recommended HK to her friend Emmalition. You sometimes see them in each other's comments.
@@JaggerG Oh, so not another recommended playtrhrough on RUclips then?
I love watching you learn how to play the game as you go along! Even if you get frustrated, you still find something enjoyable in the experience (even if it's "the background is so pretty"). I could stand to learn something from the way you play games.
You can teach yourself to think the same way she does, if you want. Whenever you START to feel yourself getting frustrated, find something to compliment in the source of your frustration.
I personally taught myself positive thinking using multiplayer games. Any time another player got one over on me, I made sure to compliment them over the chat. Even just going "nice shot" every once in a while really improves the vibe of the game.
I’m not sure if every boss is a triple entendre but The Root Pack is referencing The Rat Pack, a sort of confederation of early 1900s performers who often worked together. The two most famous members are Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr.
lol I loved the audio effect you did at 1:48
God I bloomin' love this game. The music alone is masterpiece level, and I wish there were more games out there with set-piece style fights as the main progression objectives as opposed to linear levels. The DLC for this game is also sensational, so much effort put in and it really shows.
Top notch editing. It really adds value, thanks for putting in that extra effort.
That was impressive! When I saw you triple parry right into your special I was like, " she's going to be just fine"
The sound of the Knockout victory is a top 10 dopamine hit
Woah, that's fascinating! Literally every sidescroller, basically since the SNES days (so over 30 years) uses X for attacking, but Amber has been through so many soulslikes recently that it feels weird for her to not use the triggers. I've literally never seen this happen, it's great. I've had the exact opposite experience when starting Elden Ring.
34:11 every word spoken directly out of my soul
your channel is so much fun to watch
Oh I love it already! The more chaotic levels become the more you scream and laugh at the same time and that's just fantastic to watch! You put so much effort into editing this video to make it fit the game which makes it just perfect. I can't wait for the next episode.
Along with Hollow Knight, this is one of my all-time favorite games, so I can't tell you how excited I am for this playthrough.
same comment as for bloodborne and hollow knight, and i still can't believe how incredibly good you're at video games, you breezed through this. honestly i don't know why i'm surprised anymore 😅 keep crushing it 💪🎉
The art direction of this game is so beautiful! And the soundtrack is incredible too.
I'm so looking forward to this. Your platforming skills definitely leveled up during your Hollow Knight playthrough and I have no doubt you'll do well with Cuphead too. Next stop: Celeste.
Would absolutely love to see another Celeste play through it is such an amazing game .
Amber would adore Celeste! Would love to see her experience that game's story and platforming
41:46 The frustrating part of playing cuphead in a single image 😅
Awesome video! Loved your Hollow Knight and Undertale playthroughs, looking forward to seeing the rest of this one!
You're voice with screaming and laughs are adorable
Sorry to do this, but: *your
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth thanks
Love this new series idea! The cute yet slightly sinister and very stressful nature of this game really fits your style well. Great choice of game, can't wait for the next episode.
Wow I'm very impressed by your quick reflexes from the start with controls your just learning.
41:45 the giant puppy eyes 🥺😂
You did great on this one. Your gaming instincts are really kicking in! Changing shoot to RT is definitely the right choice, GL
41:39 "you can actually pinpoint the second when her heart rips in half"
For anyone planning on picking up this game, you can and should remap the buttons so you can shoot and jump/dodge/etc at the same time more easily.
Edit: Just like Symbalily did.
as a video editor myself i must say that your editing is improving so much!
You did a great job and made me want play cuphead. Also don’t feel bad for having to change controls. I have to do it all the time because of my hand. Another amazing video. You’re amazing and I love you!! ❤️💕
“I have now discovered that I quite enjoy boss fights…and stress.”
Words only a gamer would say.
One of the first things I did when I started my Cuphead playthrough was to reassign "shoot" to R1 (right trigger) and "ex move" to R2. You can immediately tell that I am a Souls player lol.
I did the same, and out dash on a trigger as well.
Omg you're playing through so many incredible indie titles! This will be another exciting series to watch you play; can't wait for more!
I can’t believe she is playing 2 of my favorite games at the same time lol
@@andresaguilar597 Undertale? Agreed 😌
This is truly one the greatest gems in videogaming. It's good you "held off" on playing this, because you now also get to enjoy the DLC right after.
*edit You pretty much smashed Isle I. Good shit. You've done really well exploring the island as well, keep doing that, check everything.
Thanks for the walkthrough. I'm surprised to see this game on the channel. Especially seeing how the author is not easy in battles in Undertale (more precisely, dodging from Projectile). Today I finished watching the 4th episode of Undertale and I want to joke that the author went to Cuphead to practice.) The author did a great job in Hollow Knight and Bloodborne and I think that you can do it here too. Good luck!
08:48 - Nice picture on the right on the closet.)
35:48 - Interesting fight... destroy, and then violate the grave... Black humor.)
59:51 - It would be unpleasant if this beam killed the hero, and again it was a draw.)
Yes! Cuphead! Ive actually never beaten it. It was a blast when I played, but I got stuck on a boss, put it back on the shelf, and never picked ot back up. I'm excited to watch you play. Good luck!
So excited for this! I avoided this game for so long because I heard it was so hard, but it turned out to be one of my favorite games ever
The silence after being so close and dying is so real lmao
I am so excited to watch this when I get home, I know its going to be good fun!
you did so well!!!! you absolutely breezed through levels that took me dozens of tries. ur gonna do amazing
Totally respect you changing the controls for what works for you -- iconic behaviour tbh!
Awesome video, excited for the rest of the playthrough!
The editing on this was so good! Loved the video!
Oh BOI!! Cupped claims another victim!! I mean fan... This is gonna be a fun series.
The Editing really is the cherry on top of an already very fun video!
I love difficult platformers but I don't have the mental fortitude at the moment to play Cuphead. So I'm very excited to watch these videos. I also missed your cheerfulness in the face of overwhelming difficulty. You're awesome Amber!
She is killing it! Did better than some popular youtube gamers
You're a god gamer I'm honestly embarrassed how long some of those took me and you just plowed right through it lmao
I’ve never played this game before but I’ve heard it’s pretty challenging and I think you did an amazing job! Your reactions were hysterical and the voices you gave the characters were exactly how i would imagine them sounding. Also your super cute
"I quite enjoy boss fights...and stress" laughed a lot at that but I do love how you tackle bosses. By the way, any plans to tackle elden ring? It feels more open world than a souls game but I've finally become better at playing it and am working my way through.
I'm such a long way off covering it I think! I could push it up but I had intended to do the other souls games first! 😅
@@SymbaLily that's true. You've kind of inspired me. I might try to play DS3 blind because I've learned how to play them from watching you. But I'll certainly watch the rest of DS2 and DS3 when you get to it. And Elden Ring if you get to it eventually too.
Don't forget Sekiro!
@@sarahIcommented yeah she would absolutely love Sekiro.
@@SymbaLily| If it's frustration and challenge you seek, may I suggest trying the game "Getting Over It" by Bennet Foddy? It's a thoughtful little game that discusses game design, internet culture, the nature of challenge, and human stubbornness.
Technically it can be beaten in less than a minute. It took me somewhere around 4 hours. A fantastic game.
This went just as I expected. Lots of stress, but Amber is really good at the game right off the bat. Love to see it!
I'm thrilled that you're playing this next! You're so talented btw
Really great game! Glad you're playing it 👍
The Genre is known commonly as a "Boss Rush" game. Where each stage is just one boss with mechanics. Now Cuphead isnt a pure boss rush as it does have some run and gun stages but its mostly Boss Rush.
just started the video and i HAVE to say!!! your outfit this episode is stunning!! the hair accessories and the sweater are everything!!!!
Now who's gonna tell Amber that the best score in the Run and Gun levels requires you to beat them without killing anything?
You got this, who cares if you're not good (didnt watch yet, i am sure you are doing great), excited to watch this
Wow, really good boss rushes. Definitely took me longer
That king dice theme is so good
yayyy a cuphead playthrough ^^ It's a game I've wanted to know but not play, so I'm glad one of my favourite youtubers is gonna go through it :o (also the little golden rings in your hair are gorgeous had to be said)
This video has been DELIGHTFUL so far!
I actually saw my first ever play through of this game just 2 days ago. Your play through just 2 days later has come as a very pleasant surprise for me! ^^ It's gonna be great, best of luck!
"I'm not good at platformers" gets an A- on the first attempt at a boss.
"I'm a games journalist" can't complete the tutorial.
And they wondered why the internet ripped the piss out of "that" journalist.
First Undertale and now Cuphead!
2 of my favorite games in a row 🤯
Damn I love the choice of Games you play. Just found your channel an went through the whole ds1 let's play and loved it. I played cuphead with a pal and it was a damn blast! I think you'll enjoy it very much. :D
Welcome to Cupsouls!!!
I put shoot to my left trigger and jump and dash into buttons similar to a "mario" esque game for me. It's much easier that way I just hold down trigger the whole time basically, there's no penalty for doing so.
Glad I got this recommended to me! Love your accent and your vibe :)
0:38 "That's the spirit" 🤣🤣🤣
You did so well! Can’t wait to see more
That's awesome so glad to see you playing cuphead
Don't forget about those one-card specials.
Sometimes it's worth it to blow them on the last phase to brute force it.
Ohhhh Cuphead!! What a beautiful game-
Ayyy let's go! Cuphead is literally my favorite game. It may be difficult, but with practice, you'll do great!
Good call on the smoke bomb. Best item in the game.
That outro was perfect
missed watching your videos so much. also, i LOVE the frog cardigan
Absolutely love the hair!!
i know this has nothing to do with the game but there was something during the frog fight that (for some reason) really made me think of Slime Rancher. i think i was playing the two games around the same time. I think you'd absolutely love the game and i'd love to see it played again
Been enjoying your hollow knight playthrough, that game is incredible and you are so bloody good at it, way better than I was on my first go! I also love Cuphead, curious to see how you get on.
6:29 better than a game journalist
You're actually quite skillful at these hard games.
I love this game really excited to see this !
I love your narration and energy in this video ^_^
Is it just me, or does Amber keep looking more and more like a fantasy character?
She's always had that elven/ fairy vibe but here she could have stepped straight off the page of Name of the Wind
Amber, don't be afraid to change the controls if that would make it easier on you- The fact that they CAN be changed, means that you should make them whatever makes you feel most comfortable!
If people DO get bent outta shape about that, that's a them problem, that is not on you.
I always view difficult games as like learning a dance... it can seem impossible at first, but the more you practice, the more noticeable progress you make. Until that point where you master the dance, and it almost feels like it's easy, and you could do it without making mistakes
that's the beauty of games with difficult but well designed boss fights, if you keep your cool and just practice, you always get there in the end. So there should never be any shame about being "bad" at first, not saying that you are, but often I approach games with excitement about being bad, it means there's something to learn, which means there's satisfaction in the eventual payoff of beating it
For me, Sekiro was the prime example of this. A near ideal "practice makes perfect" game
Glad you're finally playing cuphead! You will love (and hate) this game.
