Cuphead is notorious for being pretty tough, but what if the team makes the achievement list even more difficult? In the first series of TA’s new series, we’ll consider what would happen if the developers were even more cruel to the list of games.
Given the difficulty of Cuphead as a game, it’s worth noting that Studio MDHR was as relatively modest as Cuphead’s track record. Sure, it’s a bit painful, but trust us when we say it might have been the way, How to do bad. How do you ask?Well, you’ve come to the right place to find … Welcome BS GS..
BS GS is TA’s original editing series that rumors about how rough it would have been if developers took the achievement list to the next level. Rather than a simple grind (killing a billion people, playing daily for a year, etc.), focus on specific details and possibilities, and if possible, set an instance of other ridiculous achievements as a precedent for our dreams. Use as to keep things interesting. Up.
Cuphead: Earn S rank on all bosses
One of the pretty obvious ways to make Cuphead’s achievement list much scarier is to require every boss to get a perfect grade. For beginners, this is enough to complete the boss battle on expert difficulty (A + is the maximum grade of normal) within the time limit (usually 2 minutes, often very tight) and meet the quota. Includes landing Parry and Super Attack. Without hitting. Well, in theory, at least — this particular rating system looks at the final health value, not the damage done. In other words, as long as there is a way to add bonus HP to the total, as long as it actually ends with 3 HP or more, you will get hits and get S rank. This really has nothing to do with base games. The safety net has a tighter time limit as the two charms provide additional health and reduce weapon damage. Weapon exchange glitch With the patch applied, even if you can afford to play a little more aggressively, it will set a fairly unreasonable deadline.
Given that the achievement to get a single S rank is only 3.6% global unlock rate and the achievement to complete the game with an expert is only 0.9%, which is the rarest in the base list, why? You need to start understanding how this will happen The fictional outcome would be such a nightmare.Some bosses can be ranked S relatively easily with sufficient skill and patience, but some of those expert fights are just hard enough to scrape off. JeezThe team opposes, as demanding perfection at every step, not to mention unscathed and against time, pushes the skill floor of this list into the stratosphere, beyond the realm of most players’ potential. I’m glad I made that decision. In hell, only 9% of players were able to beat normal mode, so this is a bit uncomfortable with Cuphead’s list, especially Microsoft’s continued push for accessibility improvements. Given that there is. Such things work better as personal goals than system-level achievements. Different people play differently, so some people struggle to fight others and vice versa.Therefore, many music game lists 1 Perfect play, not a bunch or everything (forbidden in heaven) — gives players that level of skill, but allows them to choose the battlefield.
It’s worth adding that most of the above are really only relevant to base games. With the advent of DLC many I think it wasn’t too crazy to see such achievements pop up in The Delicious Last Course’s achievement list with more tools. Instead, DLC lists are actually a lot easier than baselists because they don’t require the completion of a complete expert, even if some of the particular lists are a bit tricky. Going back to chasing the S ranks of the base game, it’s much easier to handle with a selection of powerful new weapons and better charms. Of course, Chalice herself has a shopping list with better perks than boys. Invincible dodge rolls, parries burned into her dash, double jumps, some straight bust supers, and additional hit points … she’s real, people. Did she just miss the S grade because of the hit? You don’t have to worry about hitting Super 2 (a single hit shield that negates one attack and lasts until used) and ends up with 3 HP or more. Does the clock foul fall? Her other two supers do a lot of damage (one is vertical so it’s very good, three fill most of the screen and even drop parry objects to get one stock back. There is), you still have her natural additional hit points to give a buffer there.
However, I am pleased that Chalice did not produce such a result. Many of the benefits of DLC are lost during the flight phase, some of which are one of the most difficult S ranks (look at you, robots). Still, depending on the type of outcome that tends to stumble you, something like this may not even be the worst thing that would have been possible if StudioMDHR wanted to be the right annoyance .. Let’s take a look at some other options that would have turned Cuphead from a challenging but rewarding perfection to an absolute nightmare.
Complete expert mode in co-op
Gathering only one person Cuphead is really good at in a room is hard enough, not to mention finding a second pro to join them on the couch.Such achievements everytime In this case there is no online multiplayer, so you need to find a local who is performing the task, as you are effectively linking the points of your personal progress system to third-party performance. Unlike many similar classic games, Cuphead is actually quite difficult in a two-player game. Attacks can be unpredictable because the boss has more health and the enemy has two different potential targets. Also, the second porcelain guy running around could be another distraction for the already loaded game … and if the buddy isn’t pulling weight, you’re in a terrible time. increase. Even without the additional cruelty of defining expert mode, this is hard to see in the list of local-only games known for its difficulty. Some levels? Certainly — it should be fully feasible in some of the early battles.Request all The level, however, is obviously malicious …
Defeat all bosses using only peashooters
Speaking of maliciousness, why not get rid of the main way to survive boss battles more efficiently? Peashooters are Cuphead’s default weapon and not terrible, but most unlockable alternatives can be used to deal with enemies with stronger or higher survival rates (using weak homing shots). And completely worry about evasive attacks, etc.). The problem is the fact that the longer you fight, the more chances of confusion. Cuphead has quite a few attack patterns that can be quite dangerous if you can’t break through fast enough. Combined with the fact that it is limited to basic eight-way shooting (which makes it very difficult to land a safe hit in some boss phases), this is especially for the game. Rough in the second half — early combat is designed around the fact that you probably haven’t visited Pork Lind yet for some upgrades, but later islands will be a bit annoying in some places. .. If you want to make this even more rude, why not hit an extra condition there … isn’t there a charm? Sure, that sounds fun. Enjoy the basic cup life and basic cup.
Complete the game using vintage mode
Where should we start from this fictional hellish landscape? I think the logical place is how to actually unlock the Ultra Retro Filter Set in the first place. To achieve the results of 0G Pacifism, you need to defeat all 6 Run and Gun stages without killing any enemies. The percentage of players is managed according to the achievement data. This is the first piece of the puzzle trapped behind a wall of fairly steep skills. Then you end up with the filter itself. Vintage mode consists of two parts. A real ear-pleasing audio mode with black-and-white visual filters that make Cuphead even more archaic, and small music and awkward warp effects. It’s cool to have these as a bonus to get a little confused, but forcing players to use them is a scary choice. The level of Cuphead is so detailed that it can be difficult to read even with the benefit of brilliant techni colors, but dropping it for shades of gray is especially deliberately distracting for low quality audio. This can make it particularly difficult to track actions. To make matters worse, there are no visual clues like pink that guide you here, so you should remember everything that can be pardoned. As a novelty? Vintage mode is great. However, as a way to actually play the game. It’s scary.
