    I always thought Root Pack was the first boss because it introduces you to ho bosses will be like way better than Goopy.
    -They show how phases work. One is on the side, one can be on the middle, and one can be in the very back.
    -They introduce to way more Parry opportunities than Goopy.
    And not to mention its more complex in comparison lol

      Well, I feel like what you're saying is proving my point. Goopy is so basic, that he's MEANT to be the VERY first boss you fight against. Then after you learn about different boss phases and mechanics. It's the only placement Goopy makes sense in, in my opinion.

      ⁠@@MrKap yeah, it’s like some form of multi-stage tutorials
      The actual tutorial shows you the mechanics that you’ll be utilizing.
      Goopy introduces the concept of bosses, dodging and attacking, and phase transitions.
      Then the root pack introduces a proper overarching theme between phases, varied patterns, different play styles, and finally how to capitalize off of reacting quickly to parry bullets.

    A lil fun detail of my s-ranking adventure is that to be able to beat dr khal's robot i had to turn on black and white mode. I know it might seem counterintuitive, but i just couldnt dustinguish the red crystals from the background, and apparently the black and white filter helped me. Oh, and for the same reason i had to turn on 2-stripes for phantom express. The last phase always got me with the bonewheel attack, and 2-stripes seemed to solve the issue of me not seeing it

    I 100% agree that Mortimer Freeze is the most un-fun boss to s rank in this game.
    Usually when u play a cuphead boss, they’re well designed enough to a point where if you can’t beat a boss, it’s most likely because you lack the skill. However, with Mortimer, I literally CANT beat the boss because of how inconsistent his parries are. It has nothing to do with how skilled I am, it comes down to RNG and I hate it

    I really liked this tierlist and a lot of the reasoning you had! If I had to complain about one thing, it’s that you mentioned the fight being easier a lot once you’re familiar for controversial placements like 22:26, but mentioned at 32:23 that this part is difficult because you have to get familiar. Just a small nit-picky observation, great video!

      Thank you for the comment! I wanted to add that, just because I said something similar for bosses in different tiers doesn't necessarily mean anything. And also, I'm not sure I get what you mean about your observation? For that particular phase of Wally, yes, once you get comfortable with the eggshells, the phase becomes much easier to consistently pass, but what does that have to do with the "controversial placements"?

    • @BerdlyGaming

    In my opinion, The Robot is easier than say: Wally Warbles, because he is predictable. The laser just tracks you, the parry laser always does the same thing, and the S-missiles at the bottom always follow the same path. Then, the bolts blast always has the same pattern, the hands/magnet always does the same thing, and the bombs are just bombs. For Wally, his attacks are random, he flies up and down so the eggs are always shot at different locations, Willy feels so RNG with his movements and the spinning egg shield is crazy

      This is why this is so subjective in reality, because if I said that in this video, I would've gotten absolutely bombarded with messages saying the opposite. Now objectively, I believe this is not an easy boss and takes skill to get past and beat, especially his last phase, and I believe I ranked him very fairly on the list. But I still get people everyday judging my placement on all the bosses, including Dr Kahl saying I ranked them too high, which I find crazy from an objective POV. And that goes for all my tier lists, including the Run 'n Gun tier list Short series I'm doing currently. Pretty much every Short of those, people are commenting I'm wrong lol. At this point, everyone has their own view of reality and we should try to all be accepting of that if it fits within reason, which I don't mind your reality; Dr Kahl really is pretty difficult without much knowledge of what to do.

    I think goopy and the root pack are both *the* tutorial bosses because they both introduce you to different basics. As another commenter said, the root pack show you different boss positions, teaches you to jump and shoot a static boss with basic parries, and obvious distinctions between phases. Goopy teaches you to be more adaptable with your dodges, how to duck and dash, how to shoot a moving target, and chaining parries
    Lots of different basic mechanics to teach

    A good strat for The final boss of the DLC is to bring chaser with the crack shot, use chaser for when he is far but switch to crack shot when he is near you, then in the second phase focus on whittling down multiple of the damage enemies instead of focusing on one row because even with the chaser (which makes whittling multiple at once way easier) as long as you target multiple of them at once you will do decent damage, finally use crackshot for third then chaser for fourth since as long as you cleared second efficiently you should be good

    • @oscaratriano8534
      @oscaratriano8534 4 місяці тому

      the strat i use is chaser charged shot, first phase i use chaser for everything 2nd phase u can kill the pepper things with a charged shot and one uncharged so u can kill the bottom 2 at a fairly fast pace (and if you're chalice her invincible roll is phenomenal for this phase of the fight) kill 3rd phase with charged (2 hits) then sweep last phase with chaser might not be the best for s ranks but its still a great combo for the fight (i get crackshot chaser tho, crackshot can help so much with the dough sheep that come in the first phase)

    Chef Saltbaker truly gave me the most trouble out of all bosses.
    I played with Miss Chalice, Super art 2, charge and crackshot
    And damn, it was hard.
    The first time I beat it on expert I missed one parry, after that I wouldn't make it to thelast phase for like another 50 attempts
    But by far the worst thing that could happened to me was being at the last phase with 4 hp, an active shield pal and 5 cards to activate another one. AND JUST BECAUSE OF NERVES I GOT HIT 4 CONSECUTIVE TIMES, INSTANTLY LOSING THE HP REQUIREMENT. That happened to me twice.
    Now that I have beaten it I don't feel nervous at all, and even got S rank in my first try when I started a new file.
    As a final tip, I highly recommend Chaser over Crackshot, because it never misses at the last phase.

    I guess I consider root pack to be the first boss because the run and guns feel more like bonuses than actual stages? And the way to goopy is the way you have to go to actually progress and leave the island so I guess looping back all the way to root pack feels awkward.

  • @Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus17

    • @yeetingat100subs9
      @yeetingat100subs9 6 місяців тому

      Well u can get the points for the divine relic easily, just start with the easiest bosses first, beating root pack and goopy already upgrades the broken relic and makes it less bad, king dice gives 4 points so then it gets upgraded yet again and at that point it’s no longer terrible and theres several of the easier bosses u could beat to finally upgrade it to divine relic. + u can do all of that in regular mode, doesnt need to be expert

    Surprisingly the only S rank I did for the DLC achievement is the salt shaker (by accident while trying to achieve A- for him), and the hardest bosses to A- rank were the moonshine mob (my brain just couldn’t comprehend the anteater for some reason) and the ice king

    As much as I love both this video and your first one, I will say I think sometimes you talk about cheesing the bosses a bit too much. I'm curious about your rankings if we're actually doing them the intended way, other than that, great video!

    • @MrKap
      @MrKap  7 місяців тому +1

      I believe it's hard to accurately rank a tier list without accounting for other methods. So in this case, a lot of bosses have tricks that bypass some part of their fight, whether it be an attack or the whole phase. These methods are too effective for me to NOT have them affect the tier list in this case. In any case, most bosses under the Tests Your Mettle tier become so unbelievably easy because of the DLC, that in the end it doesn't really matter lol. I do say that the bosses are too easy and talk about cheesy tricks a lot yes, but I wouldn't be mentioning it if it wasn't vital to why I have the boss ranked where it is. I appreciate your support and I appreciate the comment! 😁

      @@MrKap You make an excellent point! Can't argue with that. I haven't actually got the DLC yet so for me my list would look very different but when I eventually get it, I'll probably go back and S rank all the bosses. If you haven't already checked it out btw, I highly recommend hollow knight as a platformer, as its 43 bosses all have a hitless mode if you'm like a good tough masochistic challenge like I do

    Something I do to make saltbaker’s 2nd phase easier is bring charge. Each pepper shaker dies with 1 full charge and a simple tap of uncharged. Also be sure to also hit the top peppers with the same technique as the previous one on the bottom is in the middle of the “hitting saltbaker” animation. Seriously makes the 2nd phase a joke. At least to me it does. 3rd phase is kind of a joke too since 3 charged shots kill it. Yes, I’m serious.

      It would be pretty different. Many bosses you wouldn't have to worry about the HP requirement for, you now have to (unless you bring Twin Hearts to every fight). You also miss out on using Ms. Chalice and Crackshot, which are both really good. I don't think it would be DRASTICALLY different, but bosses that were easier would be harder, and bosses that were already hard (Wally Warbles for example) just become S tier hard. Everything else in the normal tiers would probably be at least similar if not the same imo.

    • @MrKap
      @MrKap  Місяць тому

      I tried not letting player influence, well, influence the tier list as much as possible. I didn't want to cater this tier list to everyone and rather take as much of an objective stance as possible that purely looks at what's going on and how much can be avoided and/or countered. Esther for example, while not easy, does have ways to counter her mechanics and make her easier, but the rest is up to the player, so right below Tests Your Mettle makes sense. Grim Matchstick is also a good example. Many of his mechanics are extremely easy to counter, but you kinda have to know or be familiar with those mechanics to counter them easily as well as have the right load out, so right at Not Too Hard I thought was a very generous place to put him.

    Objectively, I’d argue that Grimm deserves to be higher simply because of the sheer lack of parryable objects except for his eye beams. I can’t tell you how many times I had to restart because I killed his first phase too quickly or missed a single beam.
    Mortimer also has very difficult parries too unless you get lucky RNG and he sends out a few pink cards.

    • @MrKap
      @MrKap  3 місяці тому

      You are correct. However, unlike Mortimer Freeze, you have plenty of time to wait for the parries you need for Grim during his first phase. Everything else is pretty smooth sailing once you figure out what you need to do for each phase.
