Is It Possible to Beat Cuphead Without Jumping?

[@SampleChample]

Shoutouts to ChickenNinja42, who beat me to this challenge (minus the bee haHAA) and is overall one of the gamers of all time. That being said, I probably won’t do his Cuplocke challenge that everyone’s been commenting about, mostly because it’s not my style (I like puzzles over raw difficulty). My boy above seems better at that sort of stuff anyway.

[@austinisintexas209]

Aw will respect your decision tho

[@treyway-ml4xr]

You should do his cuplocke challenge but try it without jumping to see if it is possible

[@betweenthelines19]

sample already said he wasnt gonna do the cuplocke challenge or anything with those same rules

[@OptimalLeisure]

I remember actually getting a little bummed seeing nobody mention how cool crackshot's ex move is for movement, so to see somebody use that really neat movement tech to actually beat the game without jumping is just something else.

[@aspenisthebest]

yea with the bee boss i was shocked how he did that so smoothly

[@TwilightFlower9]

According to all known laws of elevation, there is no way a bee should be able to be beaten without jumping. Sample, of course, beats it anyway, because Sample doesn't care what they said was impossible 2 weeks ago.

[@lucasboi7623]

Fun fact:for king dice you don’t need perfect timing on the cards. The reason you did parry them was because of the heart effects that were recently added to make it possible for chalice

[@ramaicatseye]

yep i was looking for a comment that said this

[@Anthaneus]

8:07 you don't really need perfect timing, I'm pretty sure they changed it so that the heart cards have small hearts above them that are meant to be parried by ms.chalice.

[@BetterDayz55]

I was thinking that when I saw it bc those definitely don't exist with Cuphead and Mugman. . .

I was so convinced the bee and dragon would be flat out impossible, I can't believe you actually pulled it off.

[@deathbyTB]

Agree

[@czuylertan6104]

Technically grim is already impossible he just added more pain to the monster

[@KeDe1606]

@@czuylertan6104 he‘s so difficult, that fighting him on the hardest difficulty makes the fight easier. It‘s like his difficulty-meter overflowed and reset to one. Edit one year later: It kinda reminds me of the Okumura boss fight in Persona 5. Where the boss can be pretty difficult, if not downright impossible on lower difficulties, but on Merciless (the highest possible difficulty), he becomes not just the easiest main boss in the game, but the easiest non-random encounter. Period. Even the scripted/tutorial battles are tougher than him

Chickeninja42 challenges you to do the cuplock, (go to his Channel to see it) since you beat him to finish rum or honey bottoms jumpless.

[@the_newt_nest]

I feel like I should point out how much your narration has improved, even from your Kirby TAS 8 months ago. You've got the cadence of a jazz radio show host now. Wonderful job, glad I follow you.

[@RespawnGamer_]

I love these videos because they give me a feeling of myself wanting to do it, and it’s HARD.

[@denisemedeiros7660]

Dear sample, you beat chickenninja47 beating Rumor honey bottom without jumping. So he wants to challenge to beat his cuplocke! Good luck.

[@sword_pro_8]

Great job! Fun Fact: In the flower fight you could've used Super II on Cuphead which gives just enought hight to propell yourself onto the platform. Another Fun Fact: In the toads fight with Super II on Cuphead and Coffee that charges your cards automatically you could've hit the lever though this defeats the "No Parry" rule, so I understand why you didn't do it. Another Another Fun Fact: The cards of Mr. King Dice grew extra hearts so that Ms. Chalice can parry them since she can't parry vertically like Cuphead. Another Another Another Fun Fact: The Djimmi double hearts can't be used to score A tier on bosses and with the Double Heart charm there's 9HP instead of 10HP since there's a 1 digit max. If you want another Cuphead challenge try the "No Shooting" one, it's very tough :)

[@iwannaseehowlongyoucanmakethis]

Why can't you get A rank with djimmi? Does the game just wouldn't let you

[@sword_pro_8]

@@iwannaseehowlongyoucanmakethisI believe it's for the filter that you get after completing the ALL the main bosses with A rank (A-, A or A+ all work) the devs didnt want you to cheat it using double hp

H-H-Holy guacamole! I honestly thought that this challenge would break you due to its potential impossibilty, but... You did it! Congratulations! What you just did is a superhuman feat and I'm very proud of you. Keep up the good work. By the way, Miss Chalice's third Super Art actually spawns a spear that you can parry dash off of.

Great video. The amount of effort you put into this video is insane. Also it’s crazy how broken the game is with the dlc and djimmi

[@executesnipes2298]

Sample, since you beat Rumor Honeybottoms before ChickenNinja42, he did a Cuplocke challenge to surpass you, so that means you must beat the game with peashooter only, no EX, no super, no coins, must complete a boss first try, no taking damage, and if you take damage you must restart the run.

As mentioned in chickeninja's strategy, you completely forget about the cursed relic which whould have given you both coffee and smoke bomb for Cuphead which would have made it easier using his super art 2. Still, it's truly incredible you have managed to beat it only using the crackshot with Chalice.

Also u can get freinds in star allys even if they are not ina post same thing for superstar or superstar ultra and you can od this challange in other kirby games im just making it esay on u. Also u can replace partners in all 3 games. Also self defense laws have not been placed in kirby so u are allowed to kill bosses like king dedededdeddeedee whispywoods since they don,t die. Also u don,t have to protect every single thing if u did not kill it but it dies to something else u won,t go to jail. Also u can make a little story if u want like oh no something bad has happend but before it happend king dedede made murder liegal will kirby destroy his past ways of commenting mass genoside or will he go to jail forever and let the planet explode note u can let partners kill evevrything but kirby has to not know or he will go to jail for not doing anything to help his buddy also be realstic on reason why kirby can see ok. Not like Kirby ingores the demon ok.

A challenge that I thought would be interesting would be trying to p rank all of the run and guns while constantly shooting. Never really tested this so I don’t know if this challenge would be certainly lengthy enough. Nonetheless, would love to see someone try it.

[@charlietu7683]

So this KZbinr named Chickeninja42 was proud, impressed, and a bit upset that you completed rumor honeybottoms and he wasn’t able to and had to do it in simple mod, so he challenged you to do the cuplocke which means, you can only do the peashooter, only expert mode, no super arts, no charms, no coins, no ex moves, and no damage. So if you take any damage you have to restart ur run

Theoretically this could all be possible on a new save, but here's the catch: using Ms. Chalice really helps, but in order to unlock her you need to complete one of the mausoleums which require you to parry in order to beat it.
