>HOW DOES ONE BEAT THIS DAMN GAME!!!

Infinite amounts of trial and error, building skills more and more across a period of multiple hours a day, trying new strategies, retrying old strategies,

and a WHOLE lot of dying.

Just git gud mate

Just kidding, the game is all about muscle memory, be cartain that these people that finish the game without taking damage, already died A LOT before being able to do this

I'll have to try several times before you remember "Now the boss will do this, now an enemy will appear here"

It can be really hard lmao, I got it without knowing how hard it was and didn't play for months, honestly it's really hard to beat bosses the first time but you do get the hang of it, the people making it look easy have just been through the rounds

It is formally known as The Great Cuphead War in my house. 300 percent on all 3 saves. About 3 years ago. It is my greatest achievement to this day.

At some point, you just become

Been playing for awhile.

Early, my advice is to get Smokebomb (invincible dash) and the Roundabout weapon first.

Spend your first 4 coins on Roundabout. Do the first Run-n-Gun and then buy Smokebomb.

Those 2 items should be able to carry you through Isle 1 and quite a few other bosses.

Coffee is a good item for plane levels to be able to spam ex attack more frequently.

Have fun!

Are you changing your weapons for each boss? My advice is to fight one boss at a time, get good at that and then keep going. Gotta keep practicing.

What is cuphead in mobile?

Cuphead was brutal for me until I started paying attention to the upgrade path and what weapons I was choosing. The right loadouts will make the toughest boss far more manageable.

Use an xbox controller. And a good mindset

yeah i was basically in the same situation as you (though i started being able to play cuphead for some years now, but at that time i never thought of it since it was too late, like years after it released) i was also always a fan of plataformers and remember watching all sort of content about the game when it came out in 2017. I started playing like 3 weeks ago, i think i just remembered it one day or something, ive been playin hell of a lot games recently so of course i had to try it after so much time of never playing it, i literally beat saltbaker yesterday and i finally leveled up the cursed relic to divine, now the only thing left for me is to defeat every boss in expert mode and get that 300%, i knew it was a great game, and after playing it i was exactly right.

Welcome to your new obsession.

Play a boss enough so you understand patterns. After that you can beat any boss with any weapon.

My 100% achievements playtrough took 2800 deaths.

Depends on how you want to play, and what boss you’re fighting. If you like to stay back and shoot from a far, like with ribby and croaks for instance, roundabout would be a good option. If you prefer to do higher dps and enjoy close combat (which can be harder) something like spread would be better. A lot of the fun of the game comes from trying different stuff and seeing what’s the most effective for any particular boss. But if you get bored or feel like you’re struggling with a specific boss, don’t feel bad about looking up the recommendations for that boss. Remember, you gotta have a great plan and then some! Hope you enjoy the journey :)

honestly. roundabout and spread or roundabout and crackshot got me thru most of the game

Definitely think and do research before spending coins cuz you only get so many . Chaser, spread and smoke charm are great

Get the improved dash asap. Also the roundabout shot is insane if you know how to use it

Maybe I should go into Super mario community and ask "who's a fan of Mario?"

Jokes aside, glad you enjoy the game and congratulations on S rank with 1 hand

One handed?! On the flower boss?! /j

I think we all are a fan bud

I love the game so much I got a 300% save file and all 42 achievements

Did you just go to the cuphead subreddit and ask who’s a fan of cuphead?

I love watching my plat vid for this. I was so locked in at the end I was just jumping around the falling chip perfectly and I love reliving that moment. I have no idea how many hours it took to finally beat him but it was a lot. Congrats 🎉

Don’t say that, it is that hard, u are very good playing and that’s it, I also got it 2 years ago, my 2nd favorite after Dark Souls 1

>Not as hard as the reputation it has.

Totally agree. I think it was the prefect level of difficulty for me.

I expected it to be way harder based on the stories i heard about it on release. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't some rage inducing impossible game either. Just a pleasant challenge

I’ve always wanted to go for it but always found it intimidating. How long did it take you?

Find some coins and buy the i-frame dash ability.

The first advice I give to new players is to get used to jumping and shooting at the same time by rolling your thumb instead of picking it up from shoot button, moving to jump button, then back to shoot if that makes sense. Its natural for some people and for others it's a weird thing to get the hang of

Heres the first tip just relax and remain calm because this game is a rager lol.

From the game itself to the dlc its fantastic but challenging in its on right. There's really no tricks that come to mind just be patient, calm, and strike whenever possible. If a boss feels too hard dont be afraid to watch the walk through of it. I had to for a few of em.

Most of the bosses arent overly extreme outside of mad scientist, or Mr king dice

#1If you’re trying to roll a certain number on the die, crouch under it, and time it right; when the number comes up on the dice double press the jump button asap. #2 If you are good at parrying, when the cards start walking across the screen at the end of the fight, parry each card twice. Go forwards, and back. This lets you get some momentum for when the next card comes. #3 If you aren’t good at parrying, then try your best on the first card part where they walk across the board, and take note of where King Dice’s hand is. If it is on the left side of the board, when the hand comes down to walk the cards, go to the opposite side of the screen. If the first time the cards start walking and his hand is to the right, when they start going again, go to the very edge of the left side of the screen, and then the right next time, and so on. #4 Smoke Bomb is a must. Hope this helps, and good luck!!!

The Cuphead wiki has tips for bosses on their respective pages. Otherwise, just practice. It's a hard game and you need to try over and over to get that muscle memory and get into the zone.

Something that helped me was turning the sound off on certain levels. Removing an entire layer of stimulus helped me focus better.

Good job on your progress! 

This game is awesome! I've been playing this sort of hard platformers and those crazy Japanese bullet hell for a while, so the game was on the easy side for me but it was still a very enjoyable experience! The reason it's fun is because it's built in a way that it can be learned regardless of your experience with similar games.

One quick advice if someone is struggling with these games : stay away from the corners or edges as much as possible. Focus on being as close from the boss as possible and it will make things much much easier! 

Would suggest equipping the extra heart item if you're struggling on hard mode.

When I found the thingy that tells you how many times you’ve died I googled the average and let me tell you…I suck at this game

It's a game I never finished... couldn't beat the final boss...

Something about the Art style I find disturbing. Anybody else is having a similar reaction?
