    One notable thing about Grim Matchstick is that a number of people find him _easier_ on expert than on normal due to the fact the clouds are going the _opposite_ direction. This, surprisingly, makes a world of difference, especially for his second and third phase since you’re moving further away from his attacks rather than into them.

    • @JJGB2077

      Yeah, grim's one of the hardest for me on regular but the expert footage in this video looked really easy. I think it's because in the 3rd phase I have to split my attention between avoiding his attacks and actually shooting him (and chaser isn't an option because of the fireballs) and constantly change directions, while expert only has me facing one direction so I can do both at the same time more easily

    A tip for anyone struggling to get parries in Moonshine Mob: Don’t worry about trying to get them in the first 3 phases at all, just try to do it as fast as possible. You then should have enough time to just wait for the snail to give you your parries as it’s super easy to dodge his projectiles

    My favorite part about Cuphead is that it’s extremely hard yet it’s still fair, every time you die it’s your fault and you have to learn to not make the same mistake again, so it makes me happy that the game doesn’t do much to make things easier other than a simple mode, and you can’t even beat the game unless you beat every boss in regular so your pretty much forced to play in regular mode to beat the game, there are no checkpoints so if you die you have to go back to the beginning of the boss or level, and that’s a good thing because it means your not getting too much help and you’ll actually learn how to play the game rather than just being handicapped the whole time.

    I recently S-ranked every boss in the game and I can easily say that the ******* ice mage from the DLC was absolute the hardest one. To get all the parries in time it was required a LOT of rng, taking me many and many restarts due to it, and one thing I did to make the parry issue "easier" was stop firing on the first phase and holding it at the point where he throws his 2nd pink card. It worked for me but it was not funny at all.

Being able to use lobber makes it so much easier to get a quick kill and (more importantly) not blow up his fire bubbles

    • @MrKap
      @MrKap  2 роки тому +19

      Thanks for the kind words! The thing with Rumor is that time is like NEVER a problem, so before DLC you really could just use Chaser and like Spread for her 2nd phase and it would be fine. Now I'd replace Chaser with Crackshot tbh because you get more versatility that way and also the EX is much better. So the weapon kit I would use against Rumor is just Crackshot/Chaser and Spread. Maybe there is a better weapon combo, but that's what has worked for me 👍.

    I S-ranked every boss in the game recently and I would say this ranking and descriptions are pretty close to my experience. In fact, any boss is difficult during the first encounter. But spent some time and they will be miraculously easier with every run. The bosses from the top tiers are the ones that require complex tactics and muscle memory, which can only be achieved with practice and patience. From the very beginning, Saltbaker seemed like a nightmare to me, but after spending an hour on him, I literally trained to dodge things: I got to know where better to do a single/double jump, where to roll, how to parry this damn sugar, etc. (I would recommend Ms. Chalice with II Super for this fight). Train yourself to get past the first two phases with 1 or 2 hits, and the remaining two are quite simple. In this respect, Wally Warbles, Esther Winchester and Hilda Berg were equally the hardest bosses of the game for me to S-rank, as ALL of their phases are pretty hard and require maximum concentration and training. The Robot is certainly hard too, but look for good tactics against him and he will be quite simple, probably the easiest plane boss to S-rank. Also, I want to mention 1 more tip for those who are struggling with the plane fights, as they are the hardest: get the damn Divine Relic and learn to use it. It is really a blessing for the plane bosses (and also P-ranking Run and Gun levels). The weapon swap is controllable and the benefits it gives you outmatch everything. Cheers!

But now it's just a matter of trying to dodge the cheap movement of the eggs and then the final phase. But the weirdest thing about my attempt to S rank all the bosses is that I ACCIDENTALLY got an S rank on the devil boss, and I find king dice to be one of the easiest. I'm extremely glad I used the P-sugar charm otherwise I'd probably still be trying to S rank the devil boss.

      So true. Grim Matchstick when you first play Cuphead is usually a NIGHTMARE for people, including myself, but once you understand how to play the game Grim Matchstick is super easy compared to other bosses. That's honestly why when I ranked him where I did on the tier list, people were like "Oh no he's definitely harder than that". Where I ranked him in the video was me being pretty generous and unbiased with what the difficulties of the boss were and how you could overcome them. With everything considered, I thought where I put was a pretty decent spot and could be lower honestly. I personally think he's light work, but to generalize the difficulty, I put him where he stands in the tier list. Thanks for the comment!

      @MrKap  2 роки тому +7

      I can admit now after reviewing and playing against him that he is more troubling that I led on in the video. I still think the King Dice boss fight is not too difficult if you pick your bosses correctly and learn them, and since people have been constantly saying Dr Kahl's Robot is easy once you know how to beat them, I think my statement is fair. Go against Chips Bettigan or Tipsy Troop, then Phear Lap, then Mangosteen, then King Dice. Chips Bettigan can be a bit tricky to go through the gaps, so sometimes I genuinely prefer going against Tipsy Troop because I think they're easy to beat, Phear Lap is not very hard, just dash whenever the ghost rider is about to go upwards so it doesn't hit you and the rest is not very difficult, and Mangosteen is literally the easiest boss in the game. With King Dice it really is just getting good at the parry timing. The farthest I would readjust King Dice to is the beginning of the Not Too Hard tier for me.

      I think it's so silly you like those - I use Chips, Pip&Dot, and Mangosteen or Mr. Chimes (without S-ranking him). My charm is Ms. Chalice or Smoke ​Bomb and my weapons are Crackshot and Converge (Yes, I have the DLC. Without, I would likely do Chaser and Roundabout)

      The icicle guys work by popping out of the ground from damage instead of being destroyed. It's ridiculously unintuitive. I'm going into more detail on that soon, but I was definitely confused by them at first. If you want any tips, ignore them until they pop out then shoot them.

      Yeah I remember when I was going through my S Rank run, Mortimer Freeze surprised me and probably put me through the absolute worst hell out of any of them, except maybe Saltbaker who I haven't beaten yet but shrug.
      Regardless, I had a lot of trouble just trying to deal with that dude's parries and dodging, especially in phase 2, considering how fast that Snow Golem moves, giving me little time to actually figure out if he'd roll or jump, on top of everything else going on.
      And, yeah, parries were unreliable across the whole fight and didn't make the already hard challenge even harder.
      When I finally beat him I was ready to never see that stupid cultist another day in my life. Definitely the biggest surprise out of any of the bosses.

    I have a very strong ‘no homing weapons’ rule that I apply to myself. And let me say that when you’re required to aim as well, a lot of the bosses go up a notch in difficulty. For the moonshine mob, you are pretty much unable to kill any of the fly-ball thingys in the anteater phase, for the howling aces last phase it becomes so much more difficult because now you have to manage the screen flipping, dodging the projectiles and dealing enough damage in the time limit, and don’t even get me started on saltbaker. There are even more examples but if I named them all this comment would go on forever.

    honestly, id say most of the list is pretty fair though personally'd put Cala just under Devil or above Grim cause it can be a bit of a bullet hell in the second phase even if you get somewhat lucky in phase 1 but that's just personal experience, even the controversial Grim seems fair cause I think most people find expert easier cause the clouds going in the opposite direction make phase 2 and 3 sooo much easier, it's just a nuisance getting all three parries, also fuck Salt baker, he's the only boss so far I've yet to s rank, the others after a few tried and rng but that guy? Almost feels impossible sometimes even if I have the ring equipped or ms chalice, I've lost count of how many times I've retired him, still very fair list and great video

      I just wanted to say thanks for your comment before continuing! Now you make a lot of good points about Grim and also Cala. Cala Maria was a bit tricky to rank which I mentioned in the video. It really does depend on how well you do overall so she can jump around a bit when it comes to placement in the tier. Grim its really just the parries that are sooo annoying, but just straight up beating him is easy as hell, with or without his cloud movement changes (which I actually didn't notice somehow 🤣). Now Saltbaker just sucks man! Expert mode definitely amps up his difficulty tenfold. There's just something about Saltbaker that makes me fold every single time I fight him lol. I can get far without taking any hits, and then my brain just turns off ha. I really appreciate the comment!

    btw Mr.Kap, I did want to point out that while parry ring is still a really great charm, the one downside to it is that parrys won't give you cards (for EX moves and supers) anymore, meaning that you'll have to make up for the extra health with faster clear time. This isn't a deal-breaker for the charm by any means, but it's still important to know, especially because the game doesn't tell you about it for some reason. (& as someone who's also S-ranked everything on expert mode I agree with your tier list A LOT and I definitely find it the best one of out all the ones I've seen. I basically agree with everything & The only seldom disagreements I have with it are really just minor nitpicks from my personal experience.)

    • @MrKap
      @MrKap  Рік тому

      I wonder why the game doesn't tell you that you can't get EX cards while using Heart Ring. Even so, it's really not a big deal at all since you'll always get enough cards to get the bonus, no matter the boss, so it's more up to the player to use them. It can make some bosses take a bit longer, but not really at the same time XD. I'm glad you found the tier list to be fair! It's surprisingly difficult to make these tier lists because there will always be things that you might struggle with that others find incredibly easy (EX; People find Dr. Kahl's Robot super easy, while I find his last phase to be hard to pass while retaining all the bonuses for the S Rank). Since I'm a very seasoned player at Cuphead, I figured it was best to add my own input/reasonings on why a boss was either difficult, or easier than people think it is. It's also why I've created S Rank Guides for some bosses that people think are difficult, but in reality can be mastered quite easily. I really appreciate the comment!

    Right now I'm doing my own journey of S ranking myself. And I can see why this list is what it is.
    My personal hardest for me was a lot of the plane levels. Wally, Hilda and Esther. Then there's Ribby and Croaks and Mortimer.
    Thanks for some of the tips for them. Hopefully soon I can finally fully S rank the game (most likely not cause Saltbaker S Rank makes me wanna cry)

    • @MrKap
      @MrKap  2 роки тому +2

      Ribby and Croaks can be quite tricky at first, but if you take your time to learn each phase they become much easier from that point forward. Hilda Berg kind of falls into the some boat, and Cagney just has a lot of things that try to get you all at once, and with the surprisingly little amount of space, makes dodging hits a bit harder than usual.

    • @MrKap
      @MrKap  2 роки тому +1

      Like I mentioned in the video, once you get good at him and know tricks to fight against him, it becomes muuuuuch easier. You could say the same thing with Phantom Express on what shots you bring, like bringing Converge and Crackshot are very good against Phantom Express. Also his Bullet Hell Phase is just all about skill and replaying it over and over again until you get really good at it imo, which of course means spending a lot of time on it and that would then translate to it being a harder boss. With everything considered, people aren't gonna know how to efficiently/effectively beat Dr Kahls Robot, thus the high ranking. Thanks for the comment!

      I mean that's why tier lists exist I feel. It's just for fun and to start a discussion to explain our viewpoints and learn stuff on the way. I've learned A LOT of tricks or just fun facts that I didn't know from the comments section of this video. In the end I feel I achieved the objective of the video, but it really is subjective what is hard and what is not. The amount of people that have said Dr Kahl's Robot is LIGHTWORK to S Rank has really bamboozled me tbh lol. Last phase is an absolutely nightmare to not take a hit on, so for that reason solely he feels at least mid difficulty, but I think hard since really all the other bosses before him have tricks to beat them or just have less complicated attacks to deal with.
