Cuphead by TheMexicanRunner in 48:42 - AGDQ2019

Well, it's time to try again, come on, hello everyone, this is the second take, so I'm the Mexican runner and I'll present my couch real quick. I have EMU boom-boom mcar black, nice hmm and I have candy Dona here in the cold and I have the audience right there, yes the worst report is all the time. Well, first of all, I would like to explain that this category is all SMP, so in the first category I will use the expert, but I am going to make a mistake which is the French expert mistake, so in a Beatle file I just go in and put highlighted to the experts and then I just go to the title and that was the magic, but it's very important, you need a little bit and shoot, so it's very important to keep in mind for this category. on expert despite starting a new game it's going to be expert and I didn't test my controls I'll just deal with it oh okay so should we all calm down?

We're ready, okay, five four three two one, okay, everyone welcome. For

cuphead

this game is crazy so it's incredibly difficult and not just the typical TMR like you mentioned he will play expert not only will he do all the S&P ranks the rank is the hardest thing you can do in the levels boss rank is the hardest thing you can do while running, what voice acting I love, so the game, if you don't know, has four pretty basic moves, jump, shoot, and e^x special, let's start off good in this level of race against, so each level of race and weapon, TMR, you must get a P rank, which means pacifist, which means you cannot kill a single enemy in this level, so, a Unlike the other boss stages, he can take damage and, in theory, it could take a little longer, but he can't kill a single enemy, so he usually arrives at the end of this level, where you would normally have to defeat this enemy. ending that locks the level.

TMR will actually take damage and jump under it which will happen very very soon in the meantime okay he's doing a quick setup here it's very important that he do this I was going for the alleged cliff Aaron you didn't get the ledge gear , you used the stop function which is the most intended way and you succeeded. Through yes, very, very solid, we have another runner and gun that is so stressful that the first level is incredible, so we will see this grape appear because Tamar did not defeat any enemies, but the next level is another.

The next level is another God running called the treetop problem. It will be very similar, but you will notice that TMR runs as fast as possible through these levels. At the beginning, it's a level where you'll actually reset the cooldown on his run. skipping this level because as soon as you land from a dash the cooldown resets and you can just chain those dashes very very quickly while he does it again he's not killing any of these enemies he's just traversing because naturally This is a quick dash as you progress through this level, but you might notice that in the previous level you were collecting coins that weren't for P rank, P rank was just because you need them.

When you leave this level you will enter the store, you need to have 11 coins in total, three from the introduction, five from the first stage and three from this stage, you are about to skip another enemy just to not be able to get that P rank, so I hope everything goes well, that was. a job that was simpler than the first but still very difficult, okay we have to go directly into this store here so this will be the only time you will visit the store for the entire time you will buy two weapons called the lover and the roundabout and he will buy the roundabout from the Lobby and he will also buy the smoke bomb, which is an amulet that for each of those dashes will be invulnerable between the start and the end of his - so it's actually very useful.

There's a new freebie I discovered recently. I can walk out of the store where they are perfectly framed and I can buy the other two weapons I needed, it's just two seconds longer than the four seconds I was saving. Normally, we skipped a bit of dialogue there and were able to get out faster just like he said, but this is the first boss we'll face. This is an expert difficulty, so to get an S rank you need to first do several things, you need to stop the color pink, three pink items that were first in each of these boss fights that you will search for by looking for pink items. ​​in French disruptive frameworks somehow, there is no computer, please could you help us?

I needed to reset there because you don't actually need to take damage in any of these fights either, not even one point of damage, so you need to boost three times, you don't need to take damage, you need to beat him in the short period of time, which is usually not a problem, but. depending on how lucky it may be and he needs to land 6px hits, those are exits that he is doing right now, so throughout the fight he needs to land six of those and I think that is the right thing for the ice rink and because it is expert, that's the final type. of judgment as an expert so he just got his three Perry now all he needs to do is finish this fight this is the final phase of the fight well done well done I really want to justify myself just sometimes the game I like especially when you play for the first time on a computer, sometimes you can just keep the frames, don't worry, when that happened, I was pouring, I mean, in my defense, you did it, you totally did it.

I saw with these eyes and those guys would probably check the ball. that's buddy yeah yeah so we get close to the next fight this is the first well this is the first time the weapon swapping bug really comes into play so usually in a casual match just you will fire one type of weapon, but If you look towards the bottom left of the screen, your investment will switch between these two weapons throughout the fight and the reason is that each weapon usually has a cooldown, but if you spam that switch of weapons, then the cooldown will change.

It's like the two weapons share their cooldowns, so in the middle of, say, between two boomerangs, you're slotting in a lob or a shot and you're just doing like double the damage that you normally wouldn't do in a match. casually, as far as it goes, you basically skipped the second phase, the second phase started and immediately the game says, well, you've done enough damage to go straight to the third phase, but go ahead and do it so we're already in the third phase. and once again, team art is going to spam these shots, but as quickly as possible, he and again I wanted to reiterate here without taking damage, doing it quickly, looking for three things to stop and fit into es5 and he did, I hope having done it, yes.

Honestly, we don't know what the weapon is. The ax may be a bit glitchy so sometimes with the super meter it will be misleading, but don't worry, also don't worry about the skill level he got. The skill level only showed one star, which is honestly a bit flawed. The important thing is that we see that this is when the level is completed, so we finally get a small break in the action as we approach the dome. Grant, Aaron, you know this game best. That I, do you think I'm the one that we missed something in that introduction to this game?

I think we covered it. There will be many more things to talk about. What are the main things to understand in this career? It's the things you covered. great job Larry yeah he's always great so yeah this is a much slower fight so keep in mind he's looking for three pink things to stop. This boss is not very groomed. He's about to generate those three question marks and TMR already has it. he never needs to worry about Perry in this level some levels are very random this level are set he is already in Phase Three of this fight and these three are done for that there will be some anticipation here while we wait for the result screen yes they normally used an auto splitter and it doesn't actually complete and unless you met all the requirements, you can look at the timer, you know you've done it and you're happy we don't know here.

There will be a bit of anticipation to make sure we see it on that Excel weekend ahead of us. It is the first time we will see the boss of the plane. There are a few of them throughout the game, mostly they are platformers. bosses, but this is the boss of the first plane and he is totally different. I mean, the criteria for S rank is absolutely the same, so once again, three Perrys without damage do it quickly and yes, then it will search in this particular level, the main danger is so Actually, there is a lot of danger in this level, for one, these planes coming out are semi-random and he just needs to make sure to stop his pink ships now if the first phase is called Gemini phase and if he is Gemini phase. it generates this kind of meteorite at the wrong time where, oh my God, looking out, like it was a black bullet, I think Tamar knew it would be a terrible bullet, but if it was a black bullet, ooh, that would have been bad. so it depends on how he can dodge the bullet alone, he can also dodge those spinning bullets alone, but combine them and it's very difficult now, this Sagittarius is the truly hardest part of this particular stage just because those stars make it like that. difficult in the episode, the fight with the axe, the extra shot for the plane is if you look at how tmr is doing damage and at the bottom left of the screen he is filling up these type of cards that are his, they are the X meter and that is for both platforming and On the plane, you can use one type of card at a time to shoot those giant bullets or you can wait for all five cards to appear and then you can use your best e X, which in this case makes you a giant. bomb and allows you to do a lot of damage, however, because this boss's hitbox is very wide, if he uses these missiles then it can cause the boss to take multiple damage, so while I'm blabbering on and on, PMR just you have to do it. it's not like he's looking all over the screen well done, well done, his eyes are just all over the screen, just making sure that for all these different projectiles, everything that the boss is throwing at him, let's see that, so well In fact, another one is coming, that's what I feel.

The first few poor bosses are kind of a tutorial and then this simple mode is kind of a tutorial, okay, but here we have this boss who is going to be a cat. Cagney Carnation. I think so. technique in our nation, so there is actually a lot of improvisation. in this first phase of this boss because he needs to make decisions if I'm damaging the boss or should I clear all these bullets around the screen and make sure I have enough space to navigate so that he always adapts and he needs to be careful because the things that you are matching in this level are those pink seeds called that fall from above, but when you parry something you get a double jump, so to speak, so you jump higher while the damage is all projectiles.

They all come from the top of the screen, so the parry sends you higher and then you potentially risk launching yourself into another enemy, so the team only has to make this decision. Do it through the screen. Do I kill the boss? Here we are. phase two phase two usually lasts pretty short, we'll see how this goes and then phase three begins phase three the team art does so much damage that it's not so bad that he can crouch on the right side, but what's really careful is which are very good. well it had to be canceled noise Michael runs Oh what do you think could have gone wrong?

No anticipation because sometimes if you don't get the boss suppression you don't get this round and yeah that's a really scary moment. So this is the end of the first islands. I've built all the bosses and I have everything Island H has to run and gun levels and they have some bosses so now this is the first time we meet the King who dies. I'm not really sure what he's like here. I'm supposed to cash in on soul contracts. Yes, it's true, there is no contrast. I mean the devil he is trying to mortify the citizens.

Well, I'm going to go borrow the harness. Here we go baroness von bonbon background bomb the first couple of the first three phases are made up of some mini bosses there are five possible this one is the hardest there are five potential mini bosses TMR will fight three of them in the meantime no. you just have to deal with those mini bosses, there are also these kind of jelly beans at the bottom of the screen and that's where the powers come from in this stage, so if you're unlucky, you already have two, which are pretty good, especially for the second mini boss, here's the third: no TMR is good for Perry, now he just needs to worry about these mini bosses and make sure he doesn't get hit by either the mini boss or the flying jelly beans. on the screen, he actually had pretty decent luck, I think, well, actually he, candy corn is the hardest, so it doesn't matter, actually I would say it's okay, learn, now he's just spamming with these attacks in Phase Three of this boss, our face. this boss that we have already reached and that was a great phasewe have the express FETs, there are four phases in total.

Perry is not a problem at this stage because they keep throwing them. bricks down or sorry, so I thought it might be PES too. Fields Phase two is quite complicated, you just want a cycle of it, let's see if we can do it right, no problem and then phase three, the main thing in phase three, I don't. I don't know if it's necessarily speeding it up or it just looks cool, but you want to end up with both twin heads on the same side. I have nothing for that smell. Very well, oh, okay, very well, where and now I face poor, however, it is the most dangerous.

It's probably the shortest, but it's the most dangerous because these fireballs are going to come out and you just have to be very, very, very careful that he's pre-firing his shots here, so when he opens it they'll already be hitting the heart, it may not be enough. okay, okay, I never know what that super meter is, it's just ours to keep track of that we have to distress them, actually, no, I just keep track of what I know, being a kid, that's the main thing I I have to concentrate, I think we are all keeping track. of that one, yeah, Tim, are you like King Dice?

What do you think about King Dice? Yes, actually, the last of my favorite bosses along with Cala María. I mean, naturally, no, really, I mean for me. I didn't play there is a mistake, a gun game was heroes, it has a very similar format for the boss fight, but for me this was the first time I saw it, so for me this is the right one, go to number two I really like it because it has many bosses and at the end the King dies there are nine different bosses that you can choose here obviously you have some that you prefer according to this group but depending on the route II you can do different ones or in In some cases, all the bosses, yes, the ones that are faster, obviously, the ones that are faster, the ones that go for a while, actually, the speed race was using the number three in the dice clue, but what is the cigar if you are familiar with this. game, but this one was found to be faster right after accurately measuring it, yeah, no, no, I just want to say definitely what's left for the cigars, buddy, next we have four, which is, I think the Domino, is there some danger in this again.

I mean, though to reiterate, you can actually get more health in this stage, but there's still no damage, even if TMR lands on one of the places that has more health, he can't take damage in this for the three mini fights. bosses plus the final King. dice fight and that's a consequence of playing the legacy version, if you play on the current patch, as long as you finish a fight with three health points it will give you credit, so even if you use the five health amulet or something like that where If you have extra HP, you can use it, but in this case, if you take any damage, no matter how many you finished, it's not good, they won't give it to you, so a quick safety break, like a small break to drink coffee. here let's see that three nice, the monkey becomes dense and then the monkey, you want to explain to the monkey, yes, then come on, you may have found this casually, I know I did, this is, let's go for a glitch here, it will try to freeze to this monkey off screen and this is very fast, if he succeeds he will try again, he will have many opportunities here, it will always be faster to keep trying instead of fighting I think. he got it and if i cover it, he did it normally, there's like five phases to that fight and that takes way too much time, so at first you'd think I'd never do that fight in a speedrun, but it ends because everything's fine, king. dies himself, this fight may be a little unfortunate depending on where the pink variable cards are since there's a big gap you can, but yeah, I hope I can't hear it.

I hope everyone behind me is toe walking here, oh my gosh. Oh, my Arab, it's good, very good. Wow, yeah, I won't keep them. They were like finished. I have to start the fight again. How many pairs do you think you actually got? 54 55, so the devil himself is coming as the final boss. The game has four phases in total. In simple mode you wouldn't actually fight King Dice or the devil, but in regular and expert modes, these are the final modes and naturally we're not going to hand over those contracts. You have to fight us for a man they are on. the first phase there are a lot of different attacks that the devil can do, the spider is the worst, this attack is good and the wood also the projectile ring type is difficult and this is one of the most difficult because it adds a lot complexity and makes you have to dodge where you really just want to deal damage, so the phases you get here will affect what you do because there you're looking for parabola elements here so you don't have to worry about them.

Later, until now, he has only received one attack which actually has two. He only has one fairy at the moment. For you, you need two more. He is doing something. That's more hitbox off screen. There he did a little more. This is the phase in which he will want. to get the rest of the stops because phase 3 and the boring phase are the last two phases and things are going to pardon the pun but this was it bruh all hell breaks loose so he's going for it , the parrot, this is the hardest way to stop. but he's going for it the temple has very little help it's enough he says the power has to take out these tears time that was a 48:42 thank you come on TMR TMR TMR TMR I actually wanted to say before I take it to you guys again, we had $10,000 anonymous and everything you say is a game, friends, thank you for that donation, thank you very much, well, I mean like this, the theft, she could classify it as you saw, it may seem easy, but it is difficult, it is difficult, well, first .

Above all, I want to thank everyone who is supporting this charity marathon from the bottom of their hearts as well as all the people who work behind the scenes to make this possible. I want to thank the couch by commenting and making this race more enjoyable because I definitely had to concentrate a lot. Normally I talk a little, but probably in this category I still yell because there are too many dangers happening. Still, I want to thank everyone who came here to see this and everyone who donated to fulfill the incentives for this race to happen. 75,000 K no 7 Series 5k dollars I went a lot and all the people in my own streaming that helped me make the trip here to agdq possible.

I am very grateful to all of you and for the Coptic community you have. very active community, you can ask anyone you know, the people at Spiricom lake have the usernames there on Twitch, you can message us, even myself and I will guide you if you want to start learning the game. speedrunning, this is a pretty amazing game as you throw it in like it's too much to talk about and we could spend hours and hours talking about everything, the music of the game, the graphics of the game, in this case it mainly focused on the dangers of difficulty. and all that, but the game is a work of art in my opinion and that's why I love it, it's difficult.

I tend to try to find something else and this category is one of the most difficult and yes, I am very grateful to everyone. thank you very much
