    1:10 Keep in mind, every piece of animation in this game was hand drawn frame by frame. To think of how much time they must have taken to get this right and to have it loop correctly is INSANE.

      And even in his intro animation, you can barely see his wings transform into those spooky fingers he makes and back.
      Oh, you don’t believe it’s actually his wings? Look closely, since you can actually see his real arms just below his wings in the first part.

    Grim was out of touch with the world, or maybe just out of practice; he had no giant horde to guard and he'd have killed for a halfway decent damsel. It was just something dragons did, he told himself. As he moped atop his tower, he was visited by none other than the devil, who (in exchange for the low, low price of Grim's soul) offered him riches to guard or use as he saw fit. Grim was overjoyed. At last, he had a purpose...and he wasn't about to fail.

    I think, to be honest, everyone is starting to warm up to Grim Matchstick. Not only is he adorable, but he's sympathetic with his stuttering which makes him a bit sympathetic. Poor guy needs a hug after having been through all that.

    For people having trouble:
    Use regular shot. You're obviously going to be focusing on avoiding his attacks, and the charge shot is great for this. It deals a shit ton of damage when fully charged, which is enough time to let you dodge attacks. Plus, it takes like 2 seconds to full charge a shot.

    One important thing to remember during the second phase, don't just listen, but also look. As soon as you hear the little fireballs look to where it's facing. If it's facing left just jump right, and vice versa. I never got hit during that phase.

    According to the wiki of this pain-in-the-ass boss..
    Grim matchstick is a gentle, kindhearted, playful, apologetic dragon who didn't even want to fight in the first place.. So that means he really does not like it when he has to kill you over and over..
    Something similar to weepy the onion.
    And he wanted to look scary so he was doing that thing you seen in the intro to look intimidating and threatening.. But isn't really good at it
    You will feel now guilty for those that where swearing and yelling at the poor dragon out of anger and hurting his feelings...

    “I-I just meant fun and games”
    “I didn’t mean to put you in the hot seat.”
    “One two there! You better flee!”
    For the first one he apologizes for hurting you for he just wanted to play
    Second he’s sorry for “putting you in the hot seat”
    And finally he gives you a warning, for he just doesn’t want to hurt you.
    This dragon bOi is the one boss that doesn’t wanna harm you, but does so anyway, in a way of playing.

    This boss is just annoying, it's not necessarily hard, just damn near impossible to concentrate on everything that's going on at once. The 3rd stage where he goes on the left and has those fireball things come out his mouth is the worst, there's no indication of where those things will jump and because of that you can't really avoid them.
    The first 2 stages of this boss are fun, cool, and challenging without being annoying like the last 2.

Grim was scared and retreated to the clouds, hoping to be safe, then he fought with Cuphead, playing around in a fire-like style. Grim didn't know better. And he was so DEAD!

  • @hiveemperor54
    @hiveemperor54 Рік тому +3

    Grim Matchstick was not like other dragons. He was a strange, kind, quirky creature who wanted not to be feared, but simply to live in peace. However, frequent attacks and mistreatment from the public lead him to become bitter, resentful and highly aggressive. Grim had attempted to bottle up his rage for a while, but he finally snapped one day. That day, he sought what he previously considered the unthinkable, to be feared all across the Inkwell Isles. That purpose was finally realised the day he made a deal with the Devil, a deal that gave him newfound powers, riches, and even his own tower to guard, a deal that did not come free of charge. Grim knew this though, and would fiercely defend his soul for as long as he could…

Along with this, his overworld icon in this demo beared a striking resemblance to the one for Rugged Ridge.

On the last part, get a few charge shot hits until it uses the first flamethrower move. Than you should be good to go. It took me about 30 tries. And also you should equip the +1 heart charm.

    What ya wanna do is to go in with charger and chaser. Give the dragon a taste of fire while dodging the first phase, then when the second phase rolls around, hopefully you will have a full super. Go to the second lowest cloud layer and stand as close to the dragon as you can - this is important, otherwise you will land on his tongue. Once that is done, switch to chaser and blast away. The jumping fire guys laugh before jumping and this is your cue - a little trial and error should let you nail the timing between the laugh and the jump so that you can jump away yourself. Finally at the third phase, switch back to the charge and blast away while doing your best to stay alive. Beware the flamethrower that one of the heads turns into, the top layer of clouds is safe. If you get a super, blast him with it and the fight should be over.

    This is easily the worst boss I’ve ever had the displeasure of fighting. Outside of his first phase, not a single aspect of the fight isn’t left to random chance. Don’t believe me?
    -The cloud platforms
    -The fireballs’ appearance
    -The fireballs’ jump height
    -The fireballs’ jump speed
    -The fireballs’ sound effect
    -Whether or not they choose to make a sound at all
    -How aggressively they attack (even sometimes continuing to home on you as you jump to another platform after their windup.)
    -The rate of the fire orbs in phase three
    -When he decides to use the bullshit flamethrower attack that is very rarely totally unavoidable.
    That’s not even to mention the terrible design throughout the fight, like how the fireballs come from the target you’re trying to hit and explode into four projectiles on impact with your bullets WHILE YOU’RE SHOOTING AT THE FUCKING TARGET.
