little PSA for new people, when Amber says she's not gonna be good at something, she will be good at it lmao i loved this episode! you did so good too, the whole of world one in a single episode is mad impressive! also, i love the voices you gave people in the intro, it was so fun haha super excited for more of this! this episode flew by!

[@Fachewachewa]

Yeah I'm 0% surprised at how good she is 😆 What's crazy is that she somehow still has time to comment on the background of the fights

[@CaecoAequitas1]

seriously she is crushing it. to be fair Hollow knight is pretty good prep for this.

[@Mackthecatdad17]

I’m genuinely so excited for the rest of this game. Your editing at the beginning with the 20s jazz filter on your voice?? GOLDEN!

[@theoutletonmychest]

Customizing controls is normal and good. Don't ever feel bad about adjusting things so they work for you. Constantly fighting controls can make a 10/10 game something you don't even want to play. Also, your videos are always so much fun! I'm super excited for this series. 😁🍀

[@SgtSnuggles2008]

"Is this game going to upset me?" Had you asked this before you started, I'd say absolutely, but then you did your first boss hitless, so I think you're gonna nail this

[@SweatySpaghetti]

dude the hours i spent grinding the 2 frog bosses and you getting it so quick is so sick

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

In your defence, she got super lucky and never rolled Tiger on the slot machine. That one's by far the hardest to dodge.

[@TurnerTurnip]

Everyone tells me how frustrating this game is, which I why I never bothered to play it.

[@Sheamuscz]

@@TurnerTurnip You're missing out.

[@ErichDonGubler]

Yay, I'm so excited to see you play Cuphead! You have a way of embracing games and their characters, and I'm excited to see that in Cuphead's unique ambiance.

[@loup-hole]

OH MY GOD! you've just made my day also, your hair? love it!

[@RickSanchez78-d2v]

I'm so looking forward to this. Your platforming skills definitely leveled up during your Hollow Knight playthrough and I have no doubt you'll do well with Cuphead too. Next stop: Celeste.

[@caolanspratt2378]

Would absolutely love to see another Celeste play through it is such an amazing game .

[@zarifmohaiemen5594]

Amber would adore Celeste! Would love to see her experience that game's story and platforming

[@OmegaSoypreme]

That frog cardigan is just delightful!

[@Iamthemaster2]

I want one

[@zaustus1500]

Having shoot on the left face button (X for xbox) is a pretty traditional setup, but I can see someone wanting it on a trigger. I moved dash to R2 to make it like Hollow Knight.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

Ha! I did the same thing!

[@AndrewLaValley]

"I quite enjoy boss fights...and stress" laughed a lot at that but I do love how you tackle bosses. By the way, any plans to tackle elden ring? It feels more open world than a souls game but I've finally become better at playing it and am working my way through.

[@SymbaLily]

I'm such a long way off covering it I think! I could push it up but I had intended to do the other souls games first! 😅

[@AndrewLaValley]

@@SymbaLily that's true. You've kind of inspired me. I might try to play DS3 blind because I've learned how to play them from watching you. But I'll certainly watch the rest of DS2 and DS3 when you get to it. And Elden Ring if you get to it eventually too.

[@sarahIcommented]

Don't forget Sekiro!

[@TSpoon823]

​@@sarahIcommented yeah she would absolutely love Sekiro.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

@@SymbaLily| If it's frustration and challenge you seek, may I suggest trying the game "Getting Over It" by Bennet Foddy? It's a thoughtful little game that discusses game design, internet culture, the nature of challenge, and human stubbornness. Technically it can be beaten in less than a minute. It took me somewhere around 4 hours. A fantastic game.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

"Oh shit I just ate a carrot, he probably hates me" made me crack up. He's here to avenge his devoured siblings!

[@spiridiums]

I love watching you learn how to play the game as you go along! Even if you get frustrated, you still find something enjoyable in the experience (even if it's "the background is so pretty"). I could stand to learn something from the way you play games.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

You can teach yourself to think the same way she does, if you want. Whenever you START to feel yourself getting frustrated, find something to compliment in the source of your frustration. I personally taught myself positive thinking using multiplayer games. Any time another player got one over on me, I made sure to compliment them over the chat. Even just going "nice shot" every once in a while really improves the vibe of the game.

[@ShmuPixel]

Amber laughing as she loses her sanity has to be the cutest thing I've watched in a while... I would totally go mad in a blink at this game (and I know a few friends that did), which is why I never bought it in the first place, but I enjoy watching people managing to overcome its challenges.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

It's honestly not quite as brutal as many folks say. It just requires the same sort of patience as games like Dark Souls (it's fairer than early DS, too). It got its reputation because the charming art-style attracted a lot of folks unfamiliar with that sort of game.

[@veerpatel9910]

@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth its honestly way easier now with dlc weapons and charms at least until you get on expert mode 😭

[@ikebeckman1074]

I’m not sure if every boss is a triple entendre but The Root Pack is referencing The Rat Pack, a sort of confederation of early 1900s performers who often worked together. The two most famous members are Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr.

[@H56735]

I love the frog cardigan! Also I very much relate to not wanting to talk over King Dice's song, when I reached that point I literally just sat there and listened to the whole song before actually going through his dialogue.

[@mooseot]

That is the longest I've ever seen anyone go without taking a hit to start the game. This is going to be a great playthough to supplement Emma's Hollow Knight playthough :)

[@kenlykkeslett7501]

The onion only cries IF you shoot it. If you dont then you get a completely different secret boss phase. Very cool

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

There are a few bosses that do this!

[@Umbrella2]

Never knew that!

[@mf1932]

Along with Hollow Knight, this is one of my all-time favorite games, so I can't tell you how excited I am for this playthrough.

[@MrInsightful]

God I bloomin' love this game. The music alone is masterpiece level, and I wish there were more games out there with set-piece style fights as the main progression objectives as opposed to linear levels. The DLC for this game is also sensational, so much effort put in and it really shows.

[@shishmisha]

same comment as for bloodborne and hollow knight, and i still can't believe how incredibly good you're at video games, you breezed through this. honestly i don't know why i'm surprised anymore 😅 keep crushing it 💪🎉

[@victorcorazza]

as a video editor myself i must say that your editing is improving so much!

[@wickedraven9399]

You did a great job and made me want play cuphead. Also don’t feel bad for having to change controls. I have to do it all the time because of my hand. Another amazing video. You’re amazing and I love you!! ❤️💕

[@liamace1107]

Is it just me, or does Amber keep looking more and more like a fantasy character? She's always had that elven/ fairy vibe but here she could have stepped straight off the page of Name of the Wind

[@AmericanRoads]

One of the first things I did when I started my Cuphead playthrough was to reassign "shoot" to R1 (right trigger) and "ex move" to R2. You can immediately tell that I am a Souls player lol.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

I did the same, and out dash on a trigger as well.

[@woolfmoon]

Who’s excited for Silksong?!?!?! 👇

[@raggedcritical]

For anyone planning on picking up this game, you can and should remap the buttons so you can shoot and jump/dodge/etc at the same time more easily. Edit: Just like Symbalily did.

[@ViewfromtheVoid]

This is truly one the greatest gems in videogaming. It's good you "held off" on playing this, because you now also get to enjoy the DLC right after. *edit You pretty much smashed Isle I. Good shit. You've done really well exploring the island as well, keep doing that, check everything.

[@SuperLycan13]

There is something peaceful and calming about watching Amber play frustrating games. My favorite Amber phrases are "I did-jit" and "Oh I don't like that"

[@TycoPazifist]

Top notch editing. It really adds value, thanks for putting in that extra effort.

[@juanlara214]

what happen whit dark souls 2?

[@JM-us3fr]

lol I loved the audio effect you did at 1:48

[@mmurdersquidd7779]

your channel is so much fun to watch

[@FoxNamedLuke]

Woah, that's fascinating! Literally every sidescroller, basically since the SNES days (so over 30 years) uses X for attacking, but Amber has been through so many soulslikes recently that it feels weird for her to not use the triggers. I've literally never seen this happen, it's great. I've had the exact opposite experience when starting Elden Ring.

[@Walamonga1313]

I don't like 2D games nor platformers much. Bounced off of Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, but Cuphead is just too good not to like. I 100% it because I liked it so much

[@RotcodFox]

I would absolutely love if you played Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, I know you'd have a great time with it

[@MawcDrums]

I put shoot to my left trigger and jump and dash into buttons similar to a "mario" esque game for me. It's much easier that way I just hold down trigger the whole time basically, there's no penalty for doing so.

[@Umbrella2]

Been enjoying your hollow knight playthrough, that game is incredible and you are so bloody good at it, way better than I was on my first go! I also love Cuphead, curious to see how you get on.

[@Atamastra]

Alright, gonna be honest, I kinda tuned out after Hollow Knight. Sorry, I usually don't watch streamers... but it was just that it's my top 5 favorite games and you went from Zote-zero to Hallowed Hero so admirably. But somehow, I forgot how damn adorable and endearing (and competent) of a gaming streamer you are, and now... I'm probably gonna have to watch everyone of THESE too. Cuz Cuphead is such a challenging game, and I just gotta see how you savant your way through this.

[@RealMonkeyDKirby]

Omg hardest game ive ever played...nioh 2 ...and souls game....those are ewsy as f compared to cuphead

[@DSx9]

Hi Amber! I've been watching your videos for a few months now and I must say that my 2 most favourite series are Hollow Knight and Dark Souls! Speaking of Dark Souls.... Will there be any more episodes from Dark Souls 2? I enjoyed every single one! Would be lovely to hear your response

[@randolphthesilver4245]

Would people really be upset with you rebinding your controls? That's crazy

[@RobBoss1]

Oh BOI!! Cupped claims another victim!! I mean fan... This is gonna be a fun series.

[@TwoLeftThumbs]

For someone no good at platforming you were sure good at platforming. I can see I would absolutely suck at this game. I’m genuinely bad at platforming and having to jump and shoot at the same time would be controller-breakingly frustrating for me. Still, I can enjoy your success instead. So, thank you.

[@reisei1]

it's confirmed: game devs > game journalists

[@CyberFreaked]

Those graphics are amazing........ I love the style, i love the game haha going to play this =) and don't watch the video too much

[@patrickhentschke6542]

Damn I love the choice of Games you play. Just found your channel an went through the whole ds1 let's play and loved it. I played cuphead with a pal and it was a damn blast! I think you'll enjoy it very much. :D

[@littlefurnace]

Oooh, i've been looking forward to this! Your twitch reactions are bonkers, and since this game is mostly boss fights i'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do! You only have to get through like 1 platforming lvl per island so you don't have to worry too much. Edit: Lol i was right. first time ever against root pack, didn't take a single hit. This is gonna be good 😂

[@johnrussell-bk7lv]

This has been the only game to ever wreck my calm. I don't have gamer rage. I don't flip out like a lot of people do when I'm playing games. If I'm dying too much or get stuck at a part I just turn it off and come back later. This one, however, made me yell at the screen a few times, then hope my neighbors didn't hear me. It's fricking frustrating, but for some reason you can't turn it off. You're a lot better than I was starting out though, so maybe you won't have that problem... but you probably will. Cuphead is stressful.

[@mrtalos]

"I'm not good at platformers" gets an A- on the first attempt at a boss. "I'm a games journalist" can't complete the tutorial. And they wondered why the internet ripped the piss out of "that" journalist.

[@zengamer21]

I was so excited to play this game but it's just not for me. Great visuals and music but the gameplay is not what I like. Every level and boss just comes down to memorization. You don't win out of skill but from memorizing what to do at every moment. I don't find that fun at all.

[@CaecoAequitas1]

If you like boss fights, you should try Monster hunter world. its got a story and exploration stuff but its basically all boss fights. my favorite game ever.

[@charliearblaster]

every time i watch someone play cuphead I think I can do that, 15 minutes after installing I quit

[@groverwatch2171]

Amber, don't be afraid to change the controls if that would make it easier on you- The fact that they CAN be changed, means that you should make them whatever makes you feel most comfortable! If people DO get bent outta shape about that, that's a them problem, that is not on you.

[@shadowstemple9863]

I could not agree more with the controls issue. First, who exactly would be mad at you because the buttons you press off-screen are remapped. Don't worry about it. Second, whoever designed the default control scheme for Cuphead must have never used a controller in their life. It's terrible. I put shoot and dash on the triggers and then it becomes usable.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

Have you tried playing Little Nightmares? It's a delightfully whimsical and slightly-spooky game.

[@edmundfarrow7353]

Glad you're finally playing cuphead! You will love (and hate) this game.

[@rmsgrey]

If you really want to show off how bad you are at platforming, might I recommend Celeste? It's a game about climbing a mountain.

[@LaSpatuleduFutur]

At this pace you will finish the game and DLC before Silksong's next release date rumor. You're good kiddo.

[@Genashi1991]

I'd like to think that I'm an average player at best, however seeing someone say they aren't that good but the proceed to do (as far as I can tell) exceptionally well makes me think that maybe I'm actually bottom of the barrel. You can definitely do well so believe in yourself. Sometimes all you need is a bit of determination and you can push trough.

[@Patronux]

YES! I love this game so much. It's top 5 for me alongside Hollow Knight. You are so good at it, too! Thanks, Amber! Excited for the next episodes

The Genre is known commonly as a "Boss Rush" game. Where each stage is just one boss with mechanics. Now Cuphead isnt a pure boss rush as it does have some run and gun stages but its mostly Boss Rush.
