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.

[@theREALsilviautism]

the saga has concluded

[@betweenthelines19]

aight

[@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

[@ThatBackroomsFan]

Maximum distance with one card, chalice, and crackshot: Jump dash jump ex dash dash jump dash

[@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.

[@Frenzyxyzzy]

You genius twilightflower

[@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

[@TheDuckyDino]

8:10 this attack is actually modified when playing as Ms. Chalice, the heart particles above the heart cards are only present when playing as her, and basically extend their Parry Hitbox

[@apersonthatexists6722]

It is so cool to see someone like this complete something I could only dream about.

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.

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

[@leandr1s]

Rumor Honeybottoms and Grim Matchstick?

[@sirbabybee6267]

Just watched your DLC challenge, super excited to see this! Keep up the great work.

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

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.

[@SoggyCoffeeAddict]

The end where he just says "fuck it, I'm doing the easy strat" is something I feel all too well, Borderlands I'm looking at you

Fair play this is so mad to watch, I’ve only just finished the dlc and I find this game so difficult it’s so cool to see someone do it without even jumping gg my guy

[@RespawnGamer_]

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

[@Zaya333]

You haven't truly experienced Cuphead until you've attempted the hell that is the CUPLOCKE CHALLENGE...

[@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

How do you do the double hearts thing? I tried spinning around and it didn't work.

[@mikeag5662]

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.

[@GigasGMX]

Honestly, my favorite thing about this series is getting to watch someone who parries too LITTLE play cuphead, as opposed to my "OOOH! Something pink! Let me run over to parry it and get hit by something else in the process!" playing style.

[@Aladite]

I didn't even know about the Djimmi heath tactic, that's gonna be super helpful for me, still working on beating king dice,,, bleuch...

[@BJGvideos]

How did it go?

[@arielg.2681]

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.

[@Agent-Dee]

Hey Sample, good job with beating all of Cuphead without jumping! I have to admit, after watching your video of the DLC and this one, I actually wanted to give this challenge a try myself. It was definitely hard with some bosses, especially Grim Matchstick (the dragon) and Rumor Honeybottoms (the bee), which took me about a day and a half to do, but I was able to actually beat all the bosses without jumping. Great job on both videos, and thanks for convincing me to add & complete another challenge run to my Cuphead list.☕🎲🧂🥧

Man. Idk why I don’t see everyone talking about the artistic direction of this channel. It’s amazing, I’m only a few videos into it chronologically, but there’s such high quality. The little intro sequence (if that was truly handmade and puppeteered) looked like a loooot of work, and I sincerely appreciate the charm and dedication of it. Bravo 👏👏😊

[@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.

To make the king dice boss much easier, you can actually just go behind his hand.

But you will take damage trying to the only way you can get there is by hoping his hand will appear on the side you are on and do an invincibility roll

you should try the cuplocke challenge by chickeninja42 it's really hard

[@robiginal]

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. So to whilst you beat every level without jumping you didn't beat the game without jumping.

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

With the card part at the end of King dice, you see some heart particles that float up, they only appear with Ms. Chalice, that's because you can parry them, making this part easier than if the particles weren't there
