Cuphead Intro

Cuphead Intro

[@CandleCoveCast]

Once upon a time, in a magical place called Inkwell Isle, there were two brothers named Cuphead and Mugman. They lived without a care under the watchful eye of the wise Elder Kettle. One day the two boys wandered far from home, and - despite the Elder Kettle's many warnings - ended up on the wrong side of the tracks and entered the Devil's Casino. Inside, Cuphead and Mugman soon found themselves on a winning streak at the Craps table (I thought it was Crats, not craps). "Hot dawg!" (Hey that's Mickey Mouse's catchphrase!) Exclaimed King Dice, the casino's sleazy manager. "These fellas can't lose!" "Nice run, boys," laughed a newcomer. The brothers gasped. It was the casino's owner - the Devil himself! "Now, how about we raise the stakes?" He suggested with a toothy grin. "Win one more roll, and all the loot in my casino is yours!" The Devil boomed. "But if you lose, I'll have your souls! Deal?" Cuphead, blinded by easy riches, nodded and grabbed the dice for a throw (What an idiot). "Good gosh, Cuphead, no!" Cried Mugman, for he understood the danger. But it was too late! "Snake eyes!" Laughed the Devil while slamming the floor. "You lose!" The brothers trembled in fear as he loomed over them. "Now, about those souls..." The brothers pleaded for their very lives. "Th-there must be another w-way to repay you." Mugman stammered. "Yes, p-please, mister!" Cuphead added. "Hmm, perhaps there is." The Devil snickered, pulling out a parchment. "I have here a list of my runaway debtors. Collect their souls for me, and I just might pardon you two mugs." "Now get going!" The Devil roared, kicking the boys out most rudely. "You have 'til midnight tomorrow to collect every one of those souls! Otherwise I'll be the one collecting yours!" Cuphead and Mugman were terribly frightened and ran away as fast as they could. "C'mon, Mug!" Panted Cuphead. "We have to find the Elder Kettle. He'll know what to do!" "What a fine pickle you boys have gotten yourselves into!" Said the Elder Kettle. "I know you don't want to be pawns of the Devil!" "But if you refuse... I can't bear to imagine your fates!" The wise one exclaimed concernly. "You must play along for now, collect those contracts!" "And you'd best be ready for some nasty business...!" He warned. "Your debtor 'Friends' won't be very friendly once you confront them!" "In fact, I expect they'll transform into terrible beasts!" The elder Kettle flip his lid and hands Both Cuphead and Mugman the potion which he whipped up. "Take this potion so they won't hang you out to dry." He said. And with that the brothers poured the potion in their heads and something magical happens. "It will give you the most remarkable magical abilities!" The elder one said. "Now go to my writing desk and use the mystical inkwell there." He added. "You need to prepare yourself for a scrap!!" The boys entered the mystical inkwell that's on the writing desk of the Elder Kettle and started training themselves for a one hell of a business to deal with. Collecting the contracts from each debtors who made the same deal with the Devil in order to pay their debts. Took me a while to write down the story.

[@HandyAlacrity]

You could've just copy and paste it from the wiki or somewhere else.

[@Vaehlo]

And what did we learn kids? Kids: Cuphead's an idiot that loves money?

[@lucathekid5632]

And mughead about 40 seconds later in the casino becomes the voice of truth

[@Xerclipse]

Kids: Gamble with the devil and beat up other people to pay your debts.

[@captaintalon4485]

Xerclipse More like beat up other people to pay your debts and then beat up the devil so your debts never have existed in the first place

[@deborafuentes1874]

Luca The kid *Mugman.

[@GM-kp7yw]

Lesson two- NEVER go to casino

[@jamescbender43081]

Zipped by the captions too fast...

[@sunsinger7479]

you can just pause the video

[@Pokestar12121]

James Bender you can pause the video or set the play speed to lower

[@neogauntlet1008]

For you two dudes, the point is to capture the story/experience. Yeah you can pause but you miss the music. I felt enraptured when i first opened this game.

[@danielthelevel100]

Well Cuphead and his pal Mugman They like to roll the dice By choice I got a MacBook Air And gosh I payed the price PAYED THE PRICE And now I'm waiting for this game To come out on Switch or Mac And if that does not ever happen Well... My spirit will not be back!

[@Smileandwavelol]

This comment need more likes.

[@SC-iq2ho]

now its on switch lol

[@me6214]

ffs dude how are you going to not edit the loading screens out and slam through all the captions What's the point in showing the game intro if you're going to skip through it all

[@DanteXChannel]

I dont have any capture card or HW I am using the XBOX ONE DVR. MAX 5 minutes.

[@SRUICBMOOWTCTLA]

Dante X Poor excuse. Nothing is stopping you from taking multiple videos and you could just as easily stitch them together and upload. If you're not going to do it right then don't bother doing it.

[@egfelixdcg]

I could still appreciate it. Watched with my hand over spacebar to pause/unpause. The good thing of doing it this way is that I can read and take my time to appreciate the pictures, and I know that soon after I unpause I will see the next scene. It's almost as if I was playing the game

[@masterwallace4268]

Why do you want to make a intro video but you skiping everything like a dam speed run

[@thomashoang6789]

LOL, was thinking the exact same thing. I came here after pressing some buttons when I played this intro and accidentally skipping the pages, not knowing that you couldn't go back. Yeah, I know you can pause the video to read, but it would be nice to be able to read while listening to the soundtrack.

[@jorgeroblesreyes9254]

00:57 Final Fantasy VII reference

[@JuanyPany]

Jorge Robles How?

[@MaybeNotARobot]

This game pulled of the 1930's cartoon style way better than BatIM did.

[@Emeraldm0usey]

Hulk Hogan Sandwich Man Even if this is true, both art styles and story are amazing

[@MrMuppetLover]

Man, these indie games sure have a dark tone to them. Think I'm not lying? Think again: FNAF games have a dark tone, BATIM has a dark tone, you get the point.

[@rosecandy8922]

2:24-2:26 That's the best animation I've ever seen!😂 Someone NEEDS to make a gif of that!

[@J.R-Himself]

"The Devil will take their heads." That's... That's what we do... *(Laughs)* 😈😂

[@CAlbus]

Justin Richard EX how old are you? you should know the difference between "there" and "their".....

[@J.R-Himself]

C. Albus well it's hard to prono- ... nevermind I get it now.

[@quinnfletcher3906]

Is it just me or does master Kettle seem to be awful casual about the whole thing?

[@pkgreyscale9484]

Quinn Fletcher yeah it probably happened to him too

[@Smileandwavelol]

I think he knew all along that the two boys went to the casino, and decided this would be a huge lesson for them.

[@GM-kp7yw]

It's because screaming after the shit hit the fan won't change anything.

"ended up on the wrong side of the tracks and entered the devil's casino." -lit era l ly-

[@МистерЕгор]

cool

[@sodapop2581]

The intro makes it seem like Inkwell Hell ( where the casino is) is closer than the game actually shows it to be.

[@mrex666productions7]

King Dice is the size of a human in the intro but when you fight him he's so large that he can swallow cuphead? At least the devil was properly sized.

[@missiletoe99]

I assumed it was standard cartoon logic at work--characters get big and scary when they get mad.

[@wingcheunglam5737]

1:19 Mickey Mouse:Hot Dog King Dice:Hot Dawg!

[@MineSweeper-bg8un]

Black shirt? White puffy gloves? RED SHORTS?? THEY PULLED OFF MICKEY MOUSE'S HEAD AND REPLACED IT WITH A CUP

[@tonnakt]

How do they not spill their liquids completely in the game?

[@sharkiebyte4868]

tonnakt using one of the supers you spill a ton of it

[@notarealdjay]

tonnakt. JayD: THEY DID YOU IDIOT

[@sharkiebyte4868]

Also tonnakt they spill while they run

[@quinnfletcher3906]

How do they have cups for heads in the first place?

[@tonnakt]

JayD And Sans well geez don't gotta scream at me

[@psychoboom653]

I think this is what video games in Fallout would look like...

[@MrTBSC]

what´s the problem with waiting 2 or 3 seconds to led viewers read the textbits? ... and don´t tell me to pause when you just skip the text as it apears .. .. what´s the point of showing the intro if you quickly skip the text ?

[@joshuafoote5144]

1:33 Aw, craps!

[@funfun1122]

mugman > cuphead mugman isn't stupid

[@J.R-Himself]

The Craps Table. LOL

[@DrAnimePhD]

Justin Richard EX That's what the game is called. Craps.

[@chileshems88]

It's still an unfortunate name.

[@jeremymiles8021]

Well CupHead and his pal mugman They like to roll the dice But mugman didn't like it

[@mk9649]

Is there a reason why Cuphead isn't on PS4? This isn't out of rage, I'm just asking calmly, for any of you stereotypes out there. Just saying, that would be pretty cool too. If not, that's cool, I have my PC.

[@mk9649]

Nvm, just checked and it'll never come. Dang it. Ah well, good thing I have a PC.

[@handofstand]

Hey there! Don't forget: *PC MASTER RACE.*

[@PlanetZoidstar]

I know Cuphead is largely a callback to classic 30s cartoons, especially those by the Fleischer brothers, but do you get the feeling Cuphead and Mugman are based on Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit? I know ALOT of cartoon characters looked like that back then, some were blatant copies of then-current characters (like Foxy Fox was a blatant ripoff design-wise from Mickey, and Piggy Pig was a ripoff of Foxy) They even have the right coloured shorts and everything.

[@kinggooktheautistickingewg788]

[@doppelcipher6875]

why would the devil have a casino

[@friccle_]

Doppelcipher The Triangle i think people say gamblings a sin but i have no idea He just does.

[@FabioniMacaroni]

I don't know, why are there CUP PEOPLE

[@hypennik3960]

He gotta pay the bills?

[@Godzilla-se8in]

King Dice owns the casino, but I think it's just to draw in people willing to bet their souls for the devil, like some fucked up money laundering scheme.

[@3AMJH]

Because the devil loves gambling?

[@MarianaSantaMaria-b5y]

Cuphead y mugman

[@chewieschannle1844]
