Chad: *fails a level
Jared: “you have brought dishonour to our family”
👌
WHAHAHA FRR
Jared: you have bringed joy and the laughter to all of us
And then immediately turns on ultra instinct
Chad? More like BAD!
Watching this felt like being the little kid at the arcade whose been stuggling to beat a level, then the older kids come in and steam roll the whole thing.
Greggles Geronimo
Nice to have that feeling again huh.
Greggles Geronimo THE GAME IS NOT THAT HARD MAN..
Get good (I’m sorry)
Too true
Lol

Funny how the cuphead creators don’t even call the bosses by their actual name
They probably gave them the names at the end and were used to their code names
@@robertbektas1810 maybe , but you’d have to ask them
@@robertbektas1810 that would be a certain theory, because at 2015 the captain Brineybeard was Captain Silver, maybe they put the names at last
Many if not most projects use lots of working names before a better name is made for the final release.
@@trulyinfamous those are code names
Him beating the dragon and the bee in one go just crushed my spirit.
That damn dragon took me soooo many tries!!
I didn't find the dragon *that* hard. It's weird to me that so many people are saying that it's one of the hardest bosses in the game.
@@conorneligan7694 So does that mean you found something else to be the hardest?
@@thenurseinblack1810 I never actually beat the game, only beat one boss in the 3rd area, but I probably found the clown hardest, followed by, idk, maybe Wally Warbles? Not too many bosses that stand out for me as being much harder than the others.
Junkyard Jive took me days to S rank. This was during the first week of the games released where the professor had an absurd amount of health with no pink items to hit. They changed it now when I went back to it this year.
But can they beat the tutorial?
No one can... it's impossible
I did
I AM A GOD
Mr Bag mask nope, you're trying too hard. stop.
eu4eagle uu
Etika did it in like his first try on stream
Its like, can my physics teacher pass the exam he gives me today?
Lmao
Ale Ale nope he can’t had that happen to me yesterday
Yes he made the test
Bob Eacot prove it
Doge lord because yes.
I'm still waiting for Toby to fight Sans.
I am sure he will do it no hit
Lol
both of them will have a bad time
It’s Undertale
That is something I need to see before I die
Don't forget they're also answering questions while playing.

The creators died on the devil's level, the casino is confirmed to be rigged.
Yeah but you can tell they're playing more speedy than being careful.
*G R A M M A R P L E A S E*
"THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE"
man imagine your job being finding bugs in this
I'd probably just get stuck on the first few ones and end up not finding any bugs
Alex Munoz I would leave some of them in the game so people would have a chance
Oh bugs? I found *B E E S*
@@Cinndrr The biggest bug of all 🤦♀️
Well I'd leave a few bugs so others can actually manage to beat bosses

Plot twist: the devs saw a walkthrough before recording this

I like these guys, nice seeing devs genuinely enjoy the games they create
After all the time spent on a game you develop it would be wrong to not like what you created.
SketOG Well artists can tend to show a lot of humility and sometimes even downright hate or forget their work. But its always nice to look back at something and say "Yeah, I'm proud of that."
It's really hard to achieve that because you know your game nearly at 100%, there are no misteries for the creator.
cough cough Toby fox
inotorious fanboi *cough cough* Rebecca Ford, Megan Everette, and all of Digital Extremes
They did all this without using smoke bomb...
I used the smoke bomb for every level (Except the ones with plane it's just useless)and i think it is the best upgrade
@@tomas8284 I use coffee for the plane levels
If they did, extra props should they do pacifist-able levels
I use it most of the time, but I also use auto parry most of the time especially in the devils last phase (you should know why)
I don’t really use smoke bomb lol
Creators: **died**
Also creators: I am your father
Bosses: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ha
Xd
This game looks absolutely beautiful. I love the old cartoon style. They definitely need to make more games like this. I can't get it tho because I already know I won't beat the first boss lol
Casual
The first boss is easy if you do the tutorial and then practice on a demo or something like that edit: for beginners
I thought so too, but I've played this game for around 27 hours and I'm already at King Dice! It's all about muscle memory and plain luck. Plus, taking frequent breaks will help tremendously.
@@chris-pu6cv how do you tell he got a switch u f***ck*** close minded person.
luca uniquegod What did a comment ever do to you
You know what they say, "if you can't beat em,
Get the developers to beat them for you"
gravy spectre haha very funy
Yeah pretty much like taking the Kevin Durant route aka giving up and playing for a better team

Reddo Dikuu CUPHEAD CREATORS ARE DEAD?!? Not clickbait! (Gone wrong) (gone sexual) (in the hood)
This is the most calm cuphead game playthrough I've ever watched.
me: *cant get past the run and gun in the begining of the vid*
also me: *REALIZING I COULD'VE DUCKED UNDER THE DUCK*
You can also shoot the head and kill the ducks 👍
@@Onesteve3333 I learned that too :P
I was trying to P rank, so I parried a card and dashed to go above the duck and dodge the cars, IT WAS HARD
@Jason Robinette I found that out too :/
@@Jolimations yeeaaa...
I hate that run and gun
At the beginning is was like:I hope they play the dragon and get destroyed
Dude just smokes the dragon.........
The dragon took me approximately 4 tries with the peashooter, lobber, extra heart, and original charge attack.
HEHEHE I AM A SUPAHSTAR CHIMERA medal of Honor will be granted to you this year. You have made your country proud. Salut!
HEHEHE I AM A SUPAHSTAR CHIMERA
Your mom and dad must be so proud
with the charge shot the dragon is childs play
I beat Grim Matchstick easy, Beppi is the guy that gave me a real problem
hold up...
...you could duck under the giant duck in the funhouse run & gun stage...
... I see what they did there.
I see what u did with your name too.
Well there’s no other way how to get past the duck so :/
While ducking under you
Miranda, you can shoot them or parry the cards to change your gravity and avoid them.
The Gaming Ducklett thought the same thing! He knows all the tricks. Considering watching this for some levels I'm having trouble with...
Ign stuck on one of game levels, so they invited the game developers to help them.😁😂🤣
Khesrow Bahram no,the ign beat it.If they don’t beat it,how come the gate it open
IGN reviewers only play about halfway through a game before reviewing it. This is fact. I saw it on TH-cam.
IGN plays the tutorial and then try to review the game. You should see their Doom gameplay, dude was shooting the floor half the time
Developer: "A perfect score!?
Us: "Do It again, show me your process"
Ryan's jaw almost hit the floor when he ducked the duck lol
yeah, no
Mine did lol
I was like "He... ducked the duck, of course, why would I expect anything else"
yea i saw that and was like wtf wow
i just used smoke nade
780 now.
Muldenhauers's deserve all the praise they get. This game is a masterpiece... Period... Glad to see them happy for it ,too.

Wonder if it ever feels weird playing something that you've created. Like Musicians listening to their own music or Actors/Film makers watching their own movies.
Probably they played it a million times to see if it is fair and without bugs
I create my own games and test them. It doesn’t feel very weird, but rather cool to see what a cool thing I created.
for the most part its not weird for musicians to listen to their own music
it feels pretty weird but its cool
I watch my yt vids
It’s a weird feeling especially since you experienced what went into it.
Also I didn't know you could duck under the duck....
Casey Edwards Duck... DUCK!
You saw the 2nd guy legit dash straight through it?! Wtf?
It took me over an hour to beat that level and he just breezed through it.
They had the invisible dash, where you have i-frames when you dash.
Nope, they had p. sugar equipped. You can visually see if someone has smoke dash, on top of the fact that they actually check their load out right before starting and you can see p. sugar equipped.
0:10
That was a nice move from the boss
Matrix q
@@mementomori612 lol
2:42: Wai-i-t!.. So for all this damn time I could have ducked under a duck?!
...Curse you for your wittiness!
It looks like they... *MET THEIR MAKERS!!!*
Some random guy you sir (or girl or both just in case your Trans I don't assume things. This sentence doesn't make sense XD) are a genius.
Some random guy comment is mad underrated.
*badumtss*
Just walk yourself out
Out
Now if only video game journalists could do the same
Mr qKRAKENp Well they’d have to be the tutorial first
Mr qKRAKENp Yeah especially if they played video games for 25 years
This game is on a completely different level of hard. The tutorial thing was a joke, but beating this game in time for a review..... NOT LIKELY!!! LOL
"Game journalists"
Uh huh, sure...
Doc Doogie making a review on a game would imply that they've played through the entire game
2:43 What?! You can just duck under that?! I always used this card to . . . uh whatever.
You could just kill that ducks as I did
Badesh I did both
I'm pretty sure that's the pun. It's a duck and your supposed to "duck* under it
come on lets be honest.. they brought them there to beat the stage he was stuck :D 9:24
lol
I didn't even know u could duck under the ducks , Omg xD
Amir Darabi neither did I... of course they did though...
Right?! And i beat the whole thing on expert. It would have helped doing the pacifist that way instead.
Misanthrope Kirby I personally still this smoke bombs best for that
Thats why they r called ducks
Death don’t ever say that again
These guys are brilliant. developers dont realize how important little sessions like this are for their whole career. even companies that are millionaires
XxgamerxX178 because he said that
XxgamerxX178 because it makes the developers seem human, like they care only about bringing us a quality game and not make their main focus profit
8:54
I realized that I don’t know how to play this game when I saw how he defeated the boss without much bothering while I spent 3 hours on it
It took me 1 hour
Ali Rehman it took me a week,around 2 hours
This is one of the best games to come out in recent years, this is gonna be a classic.
It would have been hilarious if they put some really cheap secret that would have ended the game easily with a win
Date Masamune everyone would hate them if they did.
There kinda is with the Devil but it's a glitch.
Jizeru1 It's easy to do
Ravelord Nito precisely
Sorta like far cry 4?
Damn beard guy is god
Osama reminds me of that guy drom regular show...lol
plukingrevisitedonline You mean Garret Bobby Ferguson lmao. He was also inspired from Billy Mitchell, the guy who had the highest score in Pacman.
Yeah, Billy also ended up trying to sue Regular Show. I think it was for making him weird/a villain.
He mean he technically is the game's god since he made it.

Its not "Can Cuphead creators defeat their own games boss" but Can cuphead boss defeat their games creator"
16:34
I think this is an answer for that
You are copying
Stolen smh
@@mats5217 this is the internet bro things are getting stolen left and right.
You think people wouldn't notice that u stole a comment that's the first comment that pops up
Their art style and boss actions, animations is just so smooth and amazing
I'm impressed, they are good at their own game.
Alex Re Same. They did moves I didn't know you can do. I wouldn't be surprised if they can finish the game with no hits.
ahh the sarcasm... this is what i live for
lol have you seen David Vonderhaar play black ops 3? He’s terrible at it but everyone thought he would be decent. Of course call of duty is a big franchise with many devs but knowing that he’s one of the lead devs you would think he’d know tricks and techniques.
They would have to be. The game takes almost direct inspiration from Contra. I didn’t doubt their ability from the second I saw the title.
Aliyah Rich ya. he made it look like a walk in the park.
I´ve gotta admit they are actually quite decent at the game. I mean, that´s not so common, a lot of devs are sorta meh at their own games, that´s the reason the konami code exists...
Darthplagueis13 They're better than decent lmao, especially the guy with the beard
Well, the konami code was more for testing out bugs without wasting a lot of time but I can see them using it because they were bad at their game too.
^ ^ v v < > < > B A *START*
What's the code for?
the code was for many things, one of them was unlimited lives in contra
I honestly found perilous pier, the run and gun, to be one of the most difficult parts of the game.
it's not called perilous for no reason
The octopus at the end can die
Espically on Pacficist.
Can we get a continuation of this with the rest of the bosses please? I just love seeing the creators go through their own Heck of a game. It always cool to have the creators of something involved with their own game, and other people.
Yes please
those guys look super nice, glad their game is making the sucess it's receiving!
Literally didn't know you could do like HALF of the stuff these guys did during these fights...
^ W ^
the duck thing was literally mind blowing for me.
eartianwerewolf r
Or just "IGN employee asks for developpers of the game he's playing to just straight up skip the level he's stuck on for him"
Can the creators defeat their own game?
me: *defenitely yes*
*THOSE GAME CREATORS ARE THE DARK SOULS OF THE GAME CREATORS!*
was looking for this! heh
Andrey Leonel shut up
Its just a game
The creators of cuphead beat their own game, see? They dash,dodge,fire
Everything is "JUST LIEK DORKSULS" now.
I dont wanna hear darksouls anymore please!
How do you bold text?
So much respect for this development team and the game. It brought me back to time when games where hard. The art style reminded me of old cartoons I loved to watch and the music is just prefect for the title. Awesome game created by an awesome team.
Optimus Vivero
This should have more likes.
Nioh says hallo
Optimus Vivero I agree I’ve been thinking to actually try out the game and IDNGAC (I do not give a care) if it’s all raging but like they always say “practice makes perfect” just keep on trying and trying you may improve or not but never give up your dreams, some dreams sometimes are dreams sometimes they feel like it could happen in the future or it could happen in reality but the creators of cuphead are such an great team, great developers, I like the 1930s art styles just everything about the game really blows my mind for real though
I was totally surprised when the fight didn't end at the gravestone for goopy legrande. You very much succeeded in scaring the crap out of atleast a couple of us 😂
Can IGN make good ratings of games with fair analysis and reasoning?
*Who knows*
Nope!
They give CoD 8-9.5 and gave the new Crash Bandiccot a 6
MemeMan it's right
If you're a true OG fire emblem fan you'll cry at their fire emblem reviews.
remember what they said with sonic?
How could I not?
Who else never knew you could duck under the ducks and the BWWWWAAAAAA!!!!
Lol really?
100 subs with no video goal I was only able to figure it out because I was focusing on how to pass the level passively, if I wasn’t trying to figure that out I probably wouldn’t have ducked
100 subs with no video goal you have 99
100 subs with no video goal subs
100 subs with no video goal but I subbed so now you got 100
They are making a Netflix series of the game...
Source?
U serious 😲?
I would xxxxn LOVE THAT! I was just telling my friend how much id loved to see a series but damn 😅 this probably would take them awhile honestly to pull it off
She's The One Netflix, it actually real, it’s gonna be called “THE CUPHEAD SHOW”
After all, this game is heavily based off of a 1930s cartoon
"So irregardless..."
*eye twitch*
of course they can beat their own game. Only the lord knows how many days went to simply play testing alone
Yea ,but to the minimun they would be decent at least. They are the ones who know the game from play testing so much
Sjono You have to with such a small team. Can't hire play testers
Well, since the "lord" doesn't exist I guess no one knows.
Fr0gg0 Yes we get it; you’re an atheist, so edgy; little problem tho, it was a figure of speech?
Austin S I'm edgy as hell. Never use "the lord" in a figure of speech. He could have said "only the non existent knows how many days". Duh
Dear cuphead devs, make a secret mode where all of the bosses attacks are Floating Jared heads.
Codermations there is a secret boss in the secret files is a doodle of a dinosaur and floating Jered head
Why?
SealBlob cuz it would just be hilarious
+Coderations Yeah, it would. I shouldn't be complaining.
Oh no...
You summoned
*JARED'S HEAD*
EVERYBODY *RUN* FOR YOUR *LIFE*
*(Especially save me)*
3:59 You could duck under the BWAAAA!!? Knowing that could've saved me so much headache on that stage.
Here’s the thing. Back when I was in game coding class, we were all naturally experts at our games. Same thing applies here.
Duh..
Now go get the dark souls devs lol
im sleep
That’s different cuz you can get good at dark souls, in cuphead you need to learn the mechanics after dying a thousand times to a single boss
Solid Snake’s Persona especially the original dark souls once you figured out the learning curve, the entire game was a breeze
@@WardenKaz dark souls killed you by surprising you. You learned by dying and then died to something else. It was a cycle
keero kamiya souls/Borne not even hard though 🙄
But can the cuphead bosses defeat themselves??????😓😓😓😓😓😓
they can

"Nothing unused was done"
Pachi-Pachi who only had 2 minor graphics that werent done: Am I a joke to you?
It's a shame they didn't use co op
Dr Reddit & Mr 9Gag Right? That would have been neat to see.
Dr Reddit & Mr 9Gag Co-op is harder to play
Just Another Guy more fun for us.
one has to talk
Dr Reddit & Mr 9Gag but they got it
They will never add a boss that they can't kill, so obviously they can beat the game. And besides, they created the pattern for each bosses
WELLL DUH even if the bosses were so hard to other people ot impossible they would pass no matter what cuz they created it
Not every developer has played his own game tho. Sakamoto the main developer for 2D metroid had never finished a metroid game before Samus Returns.
WheatenKnight / MCPE DON'T START A SENTENCE WITH AND!!!!!
... and that makes their reflexes above average
Awww don't cry
I think their idea came from playing Battletoads or Ghouls and Goblins while 1930-40s cartoons were playing in the background.... while they were high.
Love the artwork and the animations!!
Should have had them do Dr. Kahl's robot
Ricky Reviews dr kahls robot was the easiest out of all of the bosses for me lmao
I'd like to know your ways
Ricky Reviews use the bombs
Richard Zhuang Your all alone there my friend
+Richard Zhuang I sincerely doubt that. When you've got bosses like Goopy le Grande, Root Pack, and Sally Stageplay, how does anyone say Dr. Kahl's Robot was the easiest?
Kinda been wanting to see this lol
The Bowser one now you kinda can

I Never Knew You Could Duck The Duck
COULD HAVE COME IN MORE HANDY BEFORHAND
IVE BEEN TORMENTED BY THAT RUN AND GUN
Liam Adkins you can smoke dash right through them!
Liam Adkins I just put smoke bombs on, go through the head and dodge the smaller ducks behind the big duck
It's not even hard, I beat that boss first try without dodging.
I just love Ryan Mccaffrey and the Moldenhauer brothers, I could watch this all day. Much love IGN
when one of the creators die on funhouse frazzle with the spread:
the other creator: **switches to peashooter** *observe*
Should’ve made them play co-op
djonesthe21
It would have been unfair....for the bosses.
Samy DC exactly lol
djonesthe21 Co op is more difficult because the health levels of the bosses are increased.
Vari210 and that’s my point
It would've been WAY harder to interview. It's a good balance, one focused on the game and the other answering questions.

Fitting for the style of the game, if I say so myself!
wow these creator vs creation videos are awesome
That lobber qan so helpful with the dragon so glad I just found this video 😂
I love the idea of the sounds actually being written and part of the game, can deal damages to you, it's such a smart and lovely idea
