What about the bug girl in the Moonshine Mob?
Can't believe no one follow up on this
she's so fricking hot for no reason
doesn't have a better design, but her dance is so sexy

I just want to frick the human, honestly
Absolutely disgusting.
They're both good, but the helicopter needs love too
For me, is the bee queen.
Hot bee milf
love superspoe

She is pretty cute.
Based bee enjoyer
Chalice all day, every day
I tried playing as Chalice, but after runnin' jumpin', shootin' and dying 228 times in the original game as Cuphead, I couldn't get used to her moveset.
The DLC bosses were clearly made with the expectation that you're using Chalice for them all, but the boys have a better time than her on some fights. It's mostly a matter of whether parry-dashing or parry-jumping makes for an easier fight.
The dragon is one of my favorite bosses in the game but he is so fricking impossible to S rank as chalice it is unreal
The horse and rook in Kings leap are definitely designed for chalice.
I find bloomers just as erotic as panties and I feel blessed that they are considered comparatively innocuous
i didn't realise the power blast is her straw, neat
It's the anteater for me.
Maybe its just me but did his animation look a bit too good, like compared to the vanilla game some of the DLC bosses stand out like a sore thumb.
>some of the DLC bosses stand out like a sore thumb.
Which ones?
Off the top of my head him and the final boss, Im sure theres other enemies animated in the same way as well.
If I recall, they specifically said this DLC was approached with animations from the era of late 1930's to early 1940's theatric animations. So think of the base game as Silly Symphonies shorts and the DLC as a full theatrical animation of the era.
the dog troupe are a lot more 40s than earlier
It might be because he's pretty big, and has detailed shading.
The cat in this fight is pretty big and still blends in with the rest of the fight
You can easily tell what bosses were made earlier than others. Goopy, Werner, BrineyBeard all stand out for being simpler in design and lacking shading. Meanwhile you got ones with god tier animation like Hildaberg.
But that could be said for any old school animation as well. Sometimes the animation would be simple, and others would go wild with shading and movements. So even with the quality being uneven it fits the core concept well
honestly that inconsistency is kind of... inevitable? authentic? to 2d shit. like when you're watching a disney movie, glen keane's scenes shows up and the thing suddenly turns s-tier
I agree. It’s the small “mistakes” that make the game feel more authentic and charming.
Well they have a lot more experience than when they first made the original game. So most people improve when the do something for a long time.
the baker boss's animations are especially good. the dlc bosses animations have like late 80s-90s disney levels of crispness its frickign insane.
Saltbaker has final boss privilege and was animated on ones
On fricking 1s
I can't imagine how many hours they sunk into making him but he looks goddamn fantastic for it.
They went quality over quantity with the DLC animation and even if it's short I'm all for that. I kept dying to bosses once their big animated moments happened because I was too distracted watching them move.
DLC very much looks even better then the base game, which was already fantastic looking.
Saltbaker is something akin to Fantasia, absolutely beautiful.
They should use this game to teach people in Art College.
iirc the final boss was animated on ones, like in this iconic scene, which makes it really fluid
Good taste, anon.
The animation kicking up during that part really caught me off guard, its amazing!
His grin really sells it for me. That and him kicking my ass the first dozen or so times I fought him
He needs more art
is he dating the snail? i like to think they are at least friends
The snail's his boss, ya mug. Man...
friends with size benefits
Honestly thought the anteater was female at first glance. Must be the mane.
Played Moonshine Mob first and was not expecting full screen animation of that level
Gotta give it to the guy who animated it all, he's extremely talented.
yeah she's great
Wait, the animator's a woman?
I don't blame the former. Look at this cutie. My favorite thing about Cuphead bosses is how they can convey everything about their character in the very first second of seeing them before they murder you, and this literal b***h is no exception. That poise, that haughtiness, that snout held up high like she knows she doesn't even need to dirty her own paws to kill you. I like Esther and that jitterbug in the Moonshine Mob as well, but I can see why Doggy Cammy stood out.
>Spare her pups from being shot down and she'll give you a smile for your act of mercy even as all five of them are ganging up on you
Worth it.
I was sad when I found out that's a girl.
...are you serious?
Yeah at first gance I thought it was a homosexual looking dude.
bruh
She reminds me a little of that Tex Avery wolf but I thought it was pretty obvious she's a woman
I like that she salutes you before she leaves.
Nah, design isn't sexy enough
I wasn't commenting on her looks, but okay.
die coomer
Ah yes The Coomer, what about him
She must appreciate a fair fight.
Yeah, I love little details that can convey a character's personality without dialogue.
Mugman's face is killing me
>Everybody is animated
>Cuphead and Mugman are just cardboard cutouts
Why am I laughing?
Reference placeholders that are put before the boss was programmed
You got Wichester's phase shift out of the saloon? That shit is smooth
I am literally unable to stop cooming.
She caught my attention, that's for sure.
She doesn't look anything like a 1940's cartoon though, probably the weakest boss design thematically. At least the waifubait from the base game had some Betty Boop stuff going on.
Those dogs look like dogs though, the boss looks like a fursona inspired by 40s design.
>I'm better than everyone else because I have a different fetish
Its a meme you dipshit
>shaming other people's fetishes
Don't you have a bondage fetish Anthony?
Both can get it.
>giant cowgirl
great taste but wish doggirl was also giant
Nothing is stopping you from drawing her as a giant yknow
size is a suggestion in cuphead
It's a cartoon. They could increase size at any point
Me? I still want to frick the flower.
>that fic where Hilda learns that making out is basically sex for flowers
>ends with Cagney cumming pollen all over her body
never thought I'd get turned on by that tbh
source?

works/12655299
can't paste the URL
Thanks!
Something about pairing Cagney and Hilda feels very fitting.
>mfw I remember certain animators were openly liking and retweeting suggestive fanart of Cagney around the time of the game's release
What is it about this flower that makes it so frickable?
Say what now
I suppose they were just happy people were making fan arts about their video game? I know some of the animators are furries but... Yeah
There's just something about evil flowers...
I love this trope makes me feel if there are flowers that can kill you
I just realized Studio MHDR copied Jacob Lenstar Mugman
FOUND IT!
For me, it's Saltbaker.
He killed billions
Daddy material
I want to frick the plane.
For me, it's Mugman
Funny pic
Source?
a based artist from /trash/
They don’t have a blog by any chance? Aw.
Why all the Cuphead hate?
it's funny
🙁 But Cuphead is cute also!
They prefer the mugman
It's because he's a smug butthole and thus comidically fulfilling when he's abused, since he always gets away with being a lil shit.
i'd frick both don't worry
Esther probably has the best animations in the DLC (excluding Saltbaker because he gets Final Boss privileges)
The animation in the DLC somehow is better than the base game, and that is saying something.
They really pulled out all of the stops for the DLC, its fantastic just what they did. It really is the delicious last course. Saved the best for last.
You can't rush perfection
Better delayed game than a rushed one
Honest worth the pay off. It was already a cheap DLC, so having an island worth of boss fights was more than enough. But the animation on all of them already bypass the main games animation, so they really went above and beyond.
Imagine if cyberpunk delayed more for well being.
Those motherfrickers needed to be pressured a lot more, and only because of all the blatant lies they said about their game.
Cyberpunks issue is they announced the game about 6 years beforew any actual work was being done on it. And by then people were actually started to get upset about the "delay" announcements with nobody knowing at the time they where still midway making the game itself.
Cyberpunk was a paper tiger from the start. At best, it would have been another generic open world game
i think the worst part of cyberpunk is they really didn't use the source material right. They were faithful to the lore of the world but not the gameplay.
>its not co-op in a game about running a criminal crew
>hacking should be powerful but dangerous to do
are the things that come to mind but i'm sure there are more and thats ontop of the game not working when it came out
My favorite boss from the DLC. I love how in the music it starts yodeling in the final phrase.
You have no idea how happy it makes me that Cuphead's animation was original done with cels
No cels, just paper
You're right
wrong choice of words there, sorry about that
My fricking heroes.
UH OH
BANGER ALERT
The in-game theme is a bit different
Esther's animation is so good you can call it sausuga
CARLOOOOOOSSSSS
2022 is a good year to become a cuphead fan
How so?
wow
They don't really resemble each other at all, though.
Wydm?
I mean that the only similarities the two characters have is that they're cows, are you slow?
I like when she turns into a sausage
cool
I'm not the biggest fan of this game. good presentation, but the gameplay is mid
The gold standard is still metal slug and gunstar heroes, and there are other indie games that are much more inventive than this one.
It's like Okami, style over substance.
The frick you talking about, Okami is amazing
>The gold standard is still metal slug
metal slug is fricking horrible, frick off nostalgiagay.
Explain your reasoning
>The gold standard is still Contra
FTFY
Metal slug is great but I have to agree with
contra is just perfection, I can still hear format x from hardcorps and remember the doctor and his long legs robot, it's just good
Cuphead is still fine, no one here is going to call it bad
contra is ok, I have nothing against these games, but I don't understand why they are so overrated like that, is it because everyone played it on console ?
MS felt less gimmicky to me than contra, I still think the isometric levels in 3 are somewhat underrated, but no less gimmicky than the rest of the game
I love MS attention to detail and gameplay but it just isn't as snappy or fast as contra can get despite it being more simple, it's hard to describe but the bosses "dancing" or more accurately trashing around to the music in latter entries just sticks with you, contra just has ridiculous highs on its set pieces
Frick off contrarian
>metal slug
Do you do this everywhere cuphead is mentioned? You were in Cinemaphile 2 weeks ago
Gunstar heroe's bosses are top notch but the levels are bland and make up half of the game, I can't see how you can call it the "gold standard"
Why they only ever show Mickey's naked ass in the new Disney Plus cartoons?
They never do that with Minnie, yet she was naked on the original shorts without problem
What do you think the answer is?
Brineybeard is Bluto
Every brawny sailor with a beard is Bluto
Who's not Sinbad.
Looks more like cow Goofy.
A girl has to make a living.
I don't know if it's autism or whatnot but Cuphead has such an inherit understanding of attractive female design that I personally want to frick each and every one of them no matter the species, size, or even material they're made of.
>when the yodeling starts
this entire game is lightning in a bottle
Nah, its just a raw example that with love and lots of intricate work amazing things can be made.
Sure sure, satan
If this were the world of Roger Rabbit, that is totally what happened.
Cuphead in the Roger Rabbit world as a game seems like a dream come true for the forgotten rubber hose toons in that world. With so many of the bosses based on actual toon characters, it'd be a lot of their big chances to make a comeback.
Predictions for season 1b?
>Predictions for season 1b?
Cuphead and Mugman still don't know how to shoot
Well, they didn't drink the Elder Kettle's Special Sauce.
True. Maybe they'll get the powers from Chalice, who knows?
You would frick a car?
Cuphead fans be like "Yusss frick me daddy"
Titane (2021)
wtf were they thinking?
The base game had some weird transformations but this was on another level
Why?
There’s something about a character getting sucked into a vacuum and transformed into sausages that’s very deviantart-ish
I don't think that was the intention but unfortunately cartoon shenanigans and deviant art shit go together like bread and butter
people want to frick the dog plane so that is par for the course
Those eras of cartoons didn't hold back on that kind of stuff. It's entirely fitting for the era.
Didn't one of the first bosses become their own tomb stone?
And another a cooked chicken on a hospital gurney?
Yes
Goopy Le Grande and Wally Warbles
Think they mean the cow food tf through vacuum succ is a deviantart tier on its own like expect to see that in a future deviantart thread
you people think too hard about what may or may not be someone's fetish. it's downright freudian
don't have to think too hard when I can find shit like that regularly browsing for my own fetishes because PEOPLE DON'T TAG THEIR SHIT PROPERLY. you'd be amazed at what crap there is to be found
The entire thing barely lasted a couple seconds, its a legit 'blink and you'll miss it' moment. In no way is it DA tier
Is this honestly your fetish or what? I cant imagine someone focusing on such a thing that much
how was that a "blink and you'll miss it" moment, it's a huge highlight of the whole fight, it's easily one of the most memorable moments from the dlc
It only seems like a fetish because it's happening to a girl this time
>thing in cartoon/video game/comic is slightly weird
>"lol it must be a fetish!"
>"I bet the artist came to this"
>"what's the tag"
>"any twitter artists supply my fetish I just discovered five seconds ago"
I would delete my 1,000+ carefully curated pictures of Midna forever if in return I never had to encounter a horny bastard on the internet again
Calm down dude, I was just making an observation
It would be just a cartoon gag if it weren't for that blasted website, or the internet as a whole I suppose. Stuff like that happens to Toons all the time and they don't bat an eye because they defy the laws of nature and physics. However, you slap a child in front of that for extended amounts of time and for some reason they grow up to be really into the whole idea of someone being transformed into food, despite the ethical dilemmas that'd arise from such implications.
Don't worry, she'll get better
Esther Winchester has become Foreverial Sausage Esther and she was fully sausagized with her organs and inside and literally his whole body changed into a permanent living sausage version.
>WHIRRRRR
Vacuum cleaner fetishists must've jizzed their pants once they saw this transformation sequence
OH GOD NOT AGAIN
it succ her
I kind of bothers me that in her third phase she's galloping and flying backwards
Yeah the end credits showed she's fine. These are toons, after all. It's why she kept fighting rather than lament on being a sausage
iirc the bird does die
Literally delitized
Are Cuphead threads allowed here now?
It has a show so yeah
Cuphead has better 2d animation than seemingly all big cartoon channels so why not
While I do want tv animation to get better, Cuphead is theatrical in quality. I don't think we could ever get something on this level with a tv schedule in play. Hell, Cuphead almost took a decade to make. I didn't even think the game would come out originally. It's really impressive that they stuck to it.
There are a lot of animators on twitter doing this really fast and have you ever watched animation collabs? a lot of crazy stuff there
>Cuphead is theatrical
I wouldve compared to some theatrical 2d animation release, but its not like big companies can make anymore, or bother with it anymore. The only recent " 2d cartoon" movie that came to mind was pic related and thats not really 2d, just 3d with shaders.
>The only recent " 2d cartoon" movie that came to mind was pic related

Studio MDHR...??
you're the weird one for remembering that list
UH NO.
Yes you are, normal people hardly pay attention to it much less make a whole ass list. At most I could see the Gnome Way Out stomach boss raising a few eyebrows.
Calamarie is also implies to eat seamen. Sailors. Whole.
yeah she swallows seamen
Holy shit an implication that Cala Maria did the thing sirens and giant sea monsters were known for doing, that MUST mean the team is filled with voregays right? Not buying it, you and the guy calling the vaccuum tf DA content are just reading way too much into it.
I can make similar claims too.
>all of those characters that are living objects
Woah damn, must've been designed by someone with a living object fetish
>all of those with cartoon gloves
Totally the work of DA tier sicko into toon glove fetish
>All the giant bosses
Clearly one of the team's hidden macro fetish
I hate that part so much you have no idea
then just go to the secret phase
This first fight kicked my ass for a little while. The gnomes were a constant source of irritance but the whole thing was fun. Best theme for me aside from the Bootlegger Boogie
*dyed
Sorry for typo
>Listen to Sally Stageplay full theme
>The fricking Tap-dancing solo partway through
It's wild how much music you miss hearing going through a normal playthrough considering each song is 3.5-5 minutes long and each fight is maybe 2 minutes tops.

The Keeper of Time in:
No Time for Die
Airplane level, taking place waaay high in the sky set against the backdrop of a day progressing through time from dawn to night as the fight progresses. Theres a large Big Ben-like clock-tower made of clay or paper-craft in the middle that the fight revolves around.
You start out fighting the Baby New Year in a flying crib. He tosses baby bottles, pacifiers and rattles at you with a devious wink and grin now and again, occasionally pulling out a toy rotary phone to call cherubs to hang over and below his crib and harass you, as well as throwing his big top-hat that spins around the rim of the stage until coming back to him.
Transition to stage 2 has a fighter plane stopping above his head with a banner that reads "Happy Birthday" before handing him a draft notice and putting a cigar in his mouth. Baby New Year gulps and transforms into Uncle Sam, the crib turning into a small fighter plane with his upper body sticking out of the wienerpit.
Uncle Sam will use a rifle and bald eagles to attack you, as well as using a radio to call in two small planes with the now middle age cherubs flying them.
Stage 3 transition has Uncle Sam grab his head and yell as he rapidly ages into a smaller, decrepit, and feeble Father Time afflicted with Parkinson's (he's shaky and old). His plane now turns into a peppy little cloud dripping with sand.
He wields a large scythe that he will wind up with and swing across the entire screen in a straight line, while his cloud fires out volley's of sand. He'll use an hourglass to slow time and cause your reactions to become slower while he launches the hands of a clock out like needles in several directions. He will stick his fingers in his teeth and whistle to summon the two now equally old and feeble cherubs flying with walkers and canes. The one with a walker will lob medicine bottles and such at you, while the one with a cane has one of those ear-horn hearing aids held to his head-
i'd play it
You'd play it
yes.
that he'll sometimes use as a megaphone to yell a big, various old-man noises at you like "Eh?!" and "Oi!!" and "Ah!!"
The final stage has Father Time suffer a terrible heart attack and keel over on spot, laying back along his cloud while holding a flower on his chest. A lightning bolt suddenly strikes him and the sky turns black and stormy as he is transformed into a black robed figure, who jolts back up and pops its head out of his hood to reveal the Grim Reaper. His cloud is now a thundercloud with the face being turned into a mischievous skull.
The Reaper still wields the sycthe, but now he takes less time to wind up his attack and slashes twice in succession across the upper and lower portions of the screen. His cloud now fires small electric bolt projectiles at you while the Reaper himself throws flaming skulls and launches souls from his eye sockets at you that track you for a short bit. He'll stick his fingers back in his teeth and summon the cherubs, now transformed into any two of the Four Horsemen (discounting Death, but including Conquest, he oughta look similar to the Conquest from TBoI) riding on a similarly theme'd flying horse. Famine will launch a swarm of locusts from his horse's mouth; Pestilence will launch two arcing balls of sludge from both his and his horse's mouths; War will rear his horse and then charge straight across the screen and winding up back where he started; Conquest will summon two beams of light from the top of the screen that take a sec to charge then fire straight down.
When the Reaper is defeated he will be struck by another bolt of lighting, this time shocking him in place and outlining his body through his robe like an x-ray.
Mid-fight, Cup/Mug/Chal and the boss get so into the fight they break off the set and run rampant through the studio ala Roger Rabbit while MDHR employees jump out of the way
Good idea but MDHR is 100% work from home and has been from the beginning.
No problem
Don't got non.
Personally, I'd love to see as a boss a witch, that is a nod to the Evil Queen from Snow White in her hag disguise. Starts out as a normal boss fight, using her cauldron to throw her attacks at you, but then, there's a second phase where she summons a tornado and it becomes a flying stage, with her on top of a broom and the battle taking place inside the tornado, as a bit of a nod to The Wizard of Oz.
Underwater level with them in submarines instead of planes fighting a giant octopus/sea serpent
not really a boss idea, but would have loved if King Dice was the main villain of the game, and the devil a secret final boss after beating the game on expert, but let the devil mentions in the main title, song and casino logo you can enter the nightmare fight in the dlc only after defeating the devil
I really just wish the Devil fight itself wasn't so underwhelming, and that King Dice had his own fight as opposed to being last in line of a gauntlet.

Plane boss against a giant tree with four phases based on the four seasons, starting with Spring and ending with Winter
Bruh, you on my wavelength?
Though, my idea was for you fight a big elder tree. He starts off asleep and "fights" you through blowing snot bubbles and snoring causing acorns to fall out of his boughs. He would then wake up, and pull two HUGE FRICKING RIPPED arms out of the ground and proceed to try and wail on you. Some hubris would cause a forest fire to start, during which eh begins to panic and and the animals try to extinguish him to no avail. 4th and last phase is him being engulfed in flames and screaming, only for him to rip his roots out of the ground like legs and turn into a giant flaming ent and chases you through the rest of the fight in an autoscroll.
>first phase of the fight is against a legless dragon that causes tidal waves, ice hurricanes, and shoots fire
>after the legless dragon is defeated it's replaced with a giant tick robot that fires lasers, bombs, and shoots giant fists at you
>in the final phase the legless dragon returns and proceeds to fight against the giant robot tick with both using attacks from the previous phases but playing off each other and you have to defeat both of them
>also all of this takes place in a Interdimensional rift
vaguely gay stereotype tapdancing duo
not a boss but a plane equivalent to the run n gun levels that plays like the mosquito levels in rayman origins
also a run n gun level set on a construction site that's one big homage to donkey kong, wrecking crew and all the construction site cartoons, it ends at the top of the building with a fight against a gorilla
This made me picture a boss fight against a construction worker gorilla fought on a construction site, who starts out using tools like jackhammers and sledgehammers, then goes feral and starts throwing barrels like Donkey Kong, then falls out, turns giant, and climbs back up like King Kong while swinging wrecking balls and cranes at you
kino
A matador who is also a bull. He starts out with fancy sword fighting acting all suave but with each phase he becomes angrier. Eventually his uniform is reduced to shreds and he is fighting just like a wild bull.
also kino
Zodiac boss, where you'd fight a bunch of zodiac animal in each phase, with the rat being the final phase
I kind of want a sequel but move to different animation periods.
The 1940s one would lean heavily on Looney Tunes, Tex Avery, Bob Clampett and the weirder and scariee Disney stuff like the Pink Elephants. Since it'd be 1940s there'd be a smattering of war or patriotism elements. Maybe someone invades Inkwell Isle and Cuphead and Mugman are "drafted" to fight them.
I just want the end boss to be a general or dictator staring down at the player who's on a globe that the boss will throw lead soldiers to fight or just angrily spin the globe.
Yeah making a 'sequel' cuphead but now they've moved to 50s/60s/70s animation would be interesting to see. Seeing the styles of Ralph Bakshi, Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, and Richard Williams showcased as unique bosses would be pretty wild
I don't know if I'd specifically want to see Cuphead go for it, but I'd love to see a game pull what Cuphead did in terms of the attention to detail in animation and looks, but with 60s limited animation instead
chaos.
imagine barging into some place and slowly everything goes out of hand into a beautiful mass of good old cartoon chaos.
like you standing on a small slab of ice at the top of a mountain and suddenly an avalanche, then you jave to survive your way down as you surf through the chaos everything is leaving.
mix prime oggy and the wienerroaches with the golden era of old cartoons then spice things up with ren and stimpy and voila.
Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.
Past floats in a semicircle around a the christmas tree in the middle of the room attacking with both fire from the side he's on and from the shadow he casts on the side he's not. He's crushed by an extinguisher cap.
>This brawl is the shadow of things you can't beat!
Present lands on the tree, crushing it backwards and blowing out the rear wall revealing a rushing, howling background. His giant form tries to whack you with his torch or Tiny Tim's cane while Ignorance and Want attack from inside of his robes. He ages away into dust letting the tree rubberband upwards showing you've been on a hearse carriage the whole time.
>Ignorance, want, you'll fit right in!
Christmas Yet to Come has gravestones undead hands raise out of the coffins you fight on to claw you while trying to box you in with gravestones.
>May be or will be, you can still be a loser.
The fight finishes in the grave itself as you climb up a vertical autoscroller trying to avoid being buried in equal amounts of both wealth and dirt while all 3 spirits offer hands you can parry in order to climb out.
Amazing! 5 Star suggestion
I've had the thought cross my mind before, but Peawiener from Skullgirls and her gang would work pretty well for a fight.
>Phase One would be against Lenny, who'd simply sit there scratching his head and looking around while you dodge George bombs walking along, zipping in go karts, or flying down in arcing planes.
>Phase Two would be against Tommy Ten-Ton and Andy Anvil, Andy throwing dashing punches across the screen while Tommy tries to drop on you from above.
>Phase Three would be against Peawiener herself, who'd warp from one side to the other while throwing out more bombs, firing off shots from her pistol, and dropping objects from the sky
>Phase Four (a soft transition from Phase Three) would get Avery involved in Peawiener's attacks, poking out of her hat to fire off a shotgun, or even helping Peawiener fire off a screen-filling flurry of laser shots.
Frick yeah, Peawiener deserves it.
sounds cool

I don't think they would ever do anything openly Nazi-related in Cuphead. This guy being a German-speaking tank driver is probably the closest that they went towards the idea.
The x-shaped armbands on the dogfigthers are just as close
I don't think the armbands showed any symbols, it's probably just generic military clothes. Plus they weren't given an apparent accent in the text.
Yeah, the pickelhelm was a way for them to bypass the association with WW2. It's the closest thing, but not 100%.
>I don't think the armbands showed any symbols
They do, her does at least
He was clearly intended to be a WW1 era solider though.
Is this Sneak King for the Xbox 360?
I could sadly only find shitty meme variants of the original gif
They really wouldn't. Still, a propaganda cartoon DLC champaign sounds like an amazing thing in my head, even though it obviously wouldn't happen
It wouldn’t happen in any case because war propaganda cartoons are from the 40s and Cuphead is strictly 30s animation
There are some world war 1 flashbacks in some 30s cartoons such from the early porky pig shorts
Exactly. If there was a war segment, it would be Cuphead and Mugman wearing Brodie helmets while a snippet of Over There plays, not the two of them beating up Hitler and Hirohito
There were still 30s cartoon about the nazis, like pic related
That's the same cartoon where they have bosko said frick
Gene Kelly homage boss fight where cuphead is taken throuh various scenarios while a live action actor does some crazy dance moves as attacks
That's a really good idea
wondrous idea
Thats the winner right there
They get caught in a storm while sailing and become stranded on a strange foreign island full of old vintage anime bosses
They move weird and choppy and look like they are using every cost saving trick in the budget between the moneyshots.
>They move weird and choppy and look like they are using every cost saving trick in the budget between the moneyshots.
That could actually work in a gameplay sense, like if they had a "teleportation" move which is actually regular movement animated on 3s/4s and such.
A leader of a portal/pocket-dimension worshipping cult. The stage has a floor in the middle that the player can jump on/off. In the first phase he’s just flying around the stage and doing different attack: 1. He spawns a big 3D cube over his head and launches it at the player. It ricochets from the state borders like a DVD logo. 2. He goes to the top middle and starts waving his hands kinda like bishop from King’s challenges. He launches projectiles to the right that go lower and then go all the way to the left. He then makes 2 copies of himself doing the same thing and triples the projectiles. 3. He spawns 3 portals in random locations that each have a jester jumping out of them. The jesters do a wheel-like forme and ricochets from the stage borders, but can be destroyed unlike the cube. In the second phase he’s visibly damaged and angry now. He goes to the middle of the top half of the stage, kneels and conjures a big portal behind him. It’s an all out attack and he’s using all of his remaining power for this final push. All kinds of things come from that portal, from tracing lasers to other projectiles. In the third phase the portal goes out of control, gets much bigger and sucks the boss in. Now instead of projectiles coming FROM the portal you have to dodge projectiles going INTO the portal, from bricks to other stuff. The portal get’s smaller and smaller until disappearing completely. The knockout happens when the ceiling crashes with other cultists sitting at the table all knocked-out.
Cuphea, Mugman, and Chalice find the lair of Father Time Keeper (An hourglass with a Father Time getup) while he's sleeping and accidentally break one of his hourglasses, altering history and sending them to different time periods with changing animation.
>1940s: The dictator of Pigmania, Prosciutto (a mix of Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin) has invaded. Levels would include fighting a general in a tank, a literal muntions factory and Prosciutto himself. Bob Clampett, Tex Avery real wacky/weird stuff.
>1950s: Aliens terrorize the planet. Plane level against a UFO armada, a morphing creature (claymation?) and a rogue nuclear bomb. UPA stylized up to an abstract level (with a level like The Dot and the Line?).
>1960s: No set style. Everything from Rankin-Bass/Harryhausen stop motion, Hanna-Barbara/Jay Ward, Yellow Submarine, scratchy xerographic Disney just to show the craziness of the decade and counter-culture
>1970s: 70s animation like Fritz the Cat, Down and Dirty Duck, Fantastic Planet, Heavy Traffic, The Wall, Heavy Metal, Rock and Rule (those last 3 are technically 80s but similar).
>1980s: You're about to go into a He-Man, Jem, Transformers style but Father Hourglass reappears and he's extremely angry. Father Hourglass throws everything at you as he changes forms. He starts as a baby and you fight him in a silent cartoon against a clumsy dinosaur (like Gertie) until Hourglass changes him into a much more fearsome T-Rex (like Rite of Spring) He ages into an adult and you fight a rotoscoped warrior who changes into Supermarionation. He ages back to his old form and he's standing over the paper the player is on. He tries to pull Duck Amuck type attacks on you (and some video game related ones like changing your weapon or player) until he dies and his ghost tears the paper freeing the player into MDHR's studio
Probably too ambitious but fun (and soundtrack would be amazing).
Damn does that sound like an epic dlc pack on its own
Some very good basic concept. Could be ironed out but I like the direction.
Florence Filmreel in Nitrate Nightmare, kind of an homage to old school film vamps, the fight is on a black and white 'screen' with intertitles between phases
First Phase is her lazing sultrily on a chaise longue while she sends a horde of lovers under her spell after you
Second phase, she transforms into a wanton exotic dancer (Mata Hari-esque) and moves around the screen while firing projectiles and shit at you (Similar to Sally Stageplay)
Final phase, our vamp in a rather tongue-in-cheek fashion, becomes a vampire and adopts a new attack set, including turning into a vampire bat that makes her more adept at avoiding attacks. The lovers from the first act are also back to attack, but this time as the undead.
Her defeat animation involves her becoming a nun and leaving her wicked ways behind.
What is your opinion on this bee lady?
One of my least favorite fights, but her boss theme is underrated and she's probably got a fat ass.
>that moan she does at the beginning
unf
Why is her name Rumor Honeybottoms?
the canon explanation from the cuphead artbook is because she runs a tabloid newspaper, hence "rumor", they're bees who spread the buzz around the inkwell isles
>died her fur
She was already dead as a character.
I wonder how all these characters would feel about the amount of people wanting to frick them.
probably some variant of 'GEE you guys have too much time on your hands' since they predate the hayes code
>You want to frick? Alright, but make it quick.
YES MA'AM!
creeped out and cringing
Even the devil?
Yeah. yeah, I'd say so.
Does anyone have cute art of Hilda?
Yeah, i got a cute art of her.
thank you
You're welcome.
>we want the pearl audience
I love how one of her attacks is just laughing derisively.
I need more art of Hilda as lovers transformed.
I don't know what you meant by that. You mean like this?
For me it's the fly dancers.
As per old timey cartoon head bow rules, the one on the left is a femboy.
Same when I first saw them
So I guess question for Cinemaphile; what are all the references that have been found/confirmed. This is the list so far it seems
Gnome way out
>Boss is based off the Betty Boop short "Old Man Of The Mountain"
>Phase 3 is based off a boss from Yoshi's Island
Ice Cult Scuffle
>Wizard may be based off Ice King from Adventure Time, Professor Grampy from the shorts of the same name, or Koopa Wizard from Mario series.
>Phase 2 sword attack is confirmed based off another game that I forget the name off
>Phased 2 defeat pose is confirmed based off a pose from another game that I forget as well.
>Crowed is based off the ghost dance from the Betty Boop short "Snow White"
Dog-Gone Dogfight
>Phase 1 bulldog is confirmed based off a SF character
>Bulldog may also be based off Spike from the Tom and Jerry shorts.
>The cat that he pulls out for his attack is the same cat from Murine Corps.
>Phase 1 may also be based off the first major boss of Vector Man
>Phase 2 boss may be a reference to the JoJo stand Sex Pisolts.
>Phase 2 attack is confirmed based off the attack from the robot dogs from Alex Kid.
>Phase 3 wiafu dog may be based off Cammy from SF.
>General boss may be based off flying levels/egg fortress levels from Sonic games.
High-Noon Hoopla
>Boss based off Disney characters such as Clarabelle Cow, Goofy and Horace Horse-collar
>May also be a reference to the 80's cartoon series/archade game "Cow-Boys of Moo-Mesa"
Bootleg Boogie
>Phase 1 boss based off the unused spider character design "The Flying Gentelman"
>Phase 2 boss based off the concept boss "Light boss"
>Characters based off the designs from the short "Woodland Cafe" and the movie "Mr. Bug Goes to Town."
>Phase 3 Ant Eater is confirmed based off an old short who's name I forgot.
King of Games
>King of games may be a refference to the PeeWee's Playhouse character The King of Cartoons. May also be based off King Bom-om from Mario 64
>Knight Horse boss may be reworked boss fight from the unused squid boss.
Secret Devil Boss
>Based off unused phase for the devil.
>Maybe based off Fantasia
Saltbaker
>sugar cube characer may be based off Stay Puff Man from Ghostbusters
>Phase 2 leaf attack based off Wood Man boss from Mega Man
>Phase 3 dance may be based off "Pink Elephants on Parade" scene from Dumbo.
If you have any more you catch, or even theorise please respond. I would love to see what you have caught. Remember MDHR went super abscure in their reference from both cartoons and games so literally ANYTHING could be a reference.
The sword attack in Ice Cult Shuffle is based off Hsien-Ko's super from Darkstalkers and the loss quote in Saltbaker's third phase is a reference to Gill from Street Fighter 3. And the specific SF character bulldog is based off is Rolento. The devs really love fighting games apparently.
I believe the entire Kings Leap is a re-tooling of the unused "Airship" level with the similar idea of a gauntlet of parrying focused mini-bosses.
King of Games
>The guillotine girl the rook dreams about has the same hairstyle as Betty Boop
More specifically, its based off her appearance in "Poor Cinderella"
This is what Disney's exclusive 3-strip Technicolor contract caused.
This kind of color strip is a secret feature from cuphead
well its obvious, but is based on minnie mouse
there's a couple pages talking about the dlc in the back of the cuphead art book
*chalice
LIES
chalice is so cute and strong. i love chalice
the end
I thought he was friends with the gnomes. They looked like they got along. He even puts on a puppet show for them.
Super interesting that they took that that Snow boss theme, and made it a boss's transformation.
That definitely gives the boss more depth.
He has a frost power likes Ice King from Adventure Time.
Black person, Ice King isn't the only bearded, frost-powered character in animation.
Didn't he appeared in the other short summertime?
>As the Elder Kettle is to Cuphead and Mugman, the jolly Chef Saltbaker is to Ms. Chalice.
Ouch
>As the Elder Kettle is to Cuphead and Mugman, the jolly Chef Saltbaker is to Ms. Chalice
so bad guy Elder Kettle soon?
cute
Man, I really want to see Saltbaker and more Chalice in the show
Always with Upon a star, Anon!
>The new Air bullets are ripped wholesale from Mega Man 2's Air Shooter
>The process of restoring the Cursed Relic to its full power (endure the curse as you keep fighting bosses) is taken from Final Fantasy VI and its Paladin Shield
>The Angel/Demon boss seems to take cues from Silhouette Mirage with how their attacks alternate between harmless and harmful as you change the direction you face
>Saltbaker eats a mushroom to grow giant, obviously from Super Mario Bros.
>Winchester's final phase where she's trapping you between sausage links while spitting bullets definitely feels like something out of a Gradius boss
The Wizard in Snow Cult's Scuffles intro animation references the long legs and hat pick up in the bettty boop short, "Saint James Infirmary". Specific when Koko the clown is doing the cab calloway dance as a ghost
The spider boss's structure and dropping skull bombs are based on the Pon & Kon fight from Kirby
Rolento Dog's flexing is based on Orange's poses from Gunstar Heroes
The snowman bringing his hands together and slamming them to create a wave is based on Frost Man from Megaman 8
The ice cubes he spits could be a mischief makers reference but that might just be wishful thinking
Thanks good I not the only one who noticed the dog making the at Orange pose.
The snowman phase is confirmed to be based off of Darkstalkers
Only one attack.
3 is based off a boss from Yoshi's Island
I was more reminded of the Dragon boss from Rayman Origins myself.
If anything the dragon boss itself is probably also inspired by Yoshi’s Island
Neat
Third phase of Mortimer Freeze does this https://youtu.be/VNttqN1wUMY?t=467 animation when he comes in
Milt Kahl
wub wub wuh
even does the head swaggle
This guy is a brain blast. Hardest bost in my opinion.
>Chef has a change of heart after doing his community service
Good ending
It's okay, guys. He's redeemed.
Since it will be 10 years before Cuphead 2 I'm going to take this ending as Chalice at some point gets her body back.
That Cow Girl isn't dead?
The only boss who died was the first one, the blue slime thing.
Everyone else is fine based on toon logic
And Wally.
Toon physics transformations. Daffy could get minced up a hundred blocky pieces or get cooked into a perfect roast duck and still walk into the next frame perfectly normal.
don't you kill literally all the characters at some point
>Saltbaker shatters into a Dark Souls landscape
he got better
>drew a salt topper on top of the topper
its shit
I've beaten Elden Ring without much of a sweat but this b***h and the dog pilot are too much for me.
>page8
Golly
Did they... you know?
They're literally a family anon. The little guys are their pups.

>"What do you think of my wife, Cup? Pretty hot, huh? She’s a real piece of ass, if you know what I mean. Don’t you think? C’mon, you can say it.”
>"She's got a nice as-"
>get decked
Know what, dad?
Fought the nazi, duh?
Yes.
They spammed the paratroopers.
Is that Rolento?
>Clarabelle Cow died
Yeah, rip.
So cute.
Cuppy
>Clarabelle Cow died her fur and is now a Boss in Cuphead.
Don;t you mean dyed her fur?
See:
>her fur
>heifer
Imagine suffocating from Porkrind sitting on your face. He strikes me as a pretty cleanly guy but the smell would still be insane.
>a literal pig
>cleanly guy
Doubt it
Pigs are actually clean animals, Muhammad.
>Clarabelle Cow died
>her fur
underrated
Reminder that Miss Lightbug is canonically taken by Spider Mobster.
She's so cute.
Good to know Cinemaphile cannot stop itself from being degenerate as frick even when it comes to something like Cuphead.
It's par for the course
Chinook best girl
Looks like someone here is horny for some cartoony girls.
Well done detective
>someone
somemany
You guys must really love this Cuphead game.
their game is charming.
>t. Dean Takahashi

I wonder what happened to him?
It's a miracle jannies haven't deleted it yet, honestly.
Maybe they wanna frick cartoons too.
The cuphead game is honorary Cinemaphile. Plus theres a cartoon I guess but that one is worse than the game.
Yes
Ayo cupman, where are my freaking ingredients at?
I don’t need no instructions to know how to cook
What happened to my freakin' bakery?!
rate my taste
bi/10
God damn was his fight underwhelming. That skeleton should have lead into a second phase airplane segment, which then would lead into the giant phase. Bring everything together under one, big, bad boss.
he is easy now because I know his patterns but he was a nightmare to fight the first time I played
It was a missed opportunity that they didn't do a Canadian-themed stage, as a nod to the game's origin.
I thought that was Gnome Way Out, since it had geese
I want them to have their own story.
I wonder what noir flick the gal on the left is going through
Guess I should play Cuphead one day
You liked Contra? It's essentially that, albeit a lot more fleshed out in many aspects while still maintaining a decent challenge.
Never played Contra. Aware of it and its gameplay, but never played it. I've played Mega Man X though.
I have beat Cuphead already but I still need money to buy the dlc pack
You should.
the thing that cemented this as the best DLC boss is the sausage link spread in the last phase, that was great to play around
doggy
Feet. More please.
Are those paw pads up to her heels?
Disgusting.
You think she might get a lil flustered if you pointed out they had a funky smell?
>I-it's the boots I walk around in all day, anon!
>not even vaugely resembling the original style
>dog paw feet
>all cuteness removed
I never unederstand why so many furgays are so adamant about having the character be more explicitly animal-like than human. I have a vague tolerance for characters with animal-like design elements but I just can't get into things like this, they are ugly as sin.
>I never unederstand why so many furgays are so adamant about having the character be more explicitly animal-like than human.
I often see more of the opposite in regards to their art. You're not wrong tho.
This needs an update.
How is the clown not shit tier? He's ugly and I hate his fight.
How can you hate Beppi? His design is great and his fight is fun as frick, probably one of the easiest too.
>king dice not in top tier
How dare whoever made this list make this mistake
Devil is better.
Which boss did you guys go for your Isle IV S rank (If you just got one)? For me, it was the Howling Aces
>a Cuphead cartoon series developed by Nickelodeon.
How would this turn out?
Never airs on Nickelodeon and is instead sold to Netflix.
So back to square one?
Cancelled after two seasons after not pulling Spongebob ratings.
>cuphead season 1B comes out
>It pulls a Steven Universe/Adventure Time lore dump thingy
What would you think that would be?
chalice origins involving the rugged ridge
I don't know, astral plain bullshit? DLC heavily focused on that while not giving it a proper explanation.
From what I can gather, it's the cuphead equivalent of Heaven?? I guess?
Ms Chalice is a black trans man from another dimension.
Just my take on it. Porkrind is also in Best Boys.
is the domino mid because he's half woman?
Yeah, they have a cool aesthetic to them as well, but kinda hard to be a good boy when your other half is a girl.
Glumstone looks better without the beard.
>Skele conductor in top tier
Based and underrated.
Superior rubberhose design cow incoming!
Jesus Christ.
More?
>bare naked
>crotchbreasts
>belly
You have my interest Mr. Ant. Show me more.
Udder
Technically the same thing, so w/e
Crotchbreasts is an ignorant, vulgar, made-up word for "udder". Allowing idiocy like this is why language is decaying further into a slurry of changing meanings and made-up words every 3 months.
I only saw one Esther fanart piece that was as good as this; however, this is just asking for my attention. Why can't Esther get the same treatment?
>stuck in the middle of a lake of fanart and you are udderless
magical girl chalice
>You are hired to write an episode of the Cuphead show
What will it be about?
My horni fantasies.
Cuphead and Mugman finally get their shot potion, start fighting back instead of running around.
I don’t know precisely what it would be about but Saltbaker would definitely be there.
A classic 11 minute short with Esther Winchester like old Yosemite Sam cartoons but more Tex Avery-ish
These bugs
The female pilot dog from the flying aces. Of cause it would be filled with furry fanservice.
Introduce the female characters. Make them fat/inflated
Bonbon is gonna be great simply because she's constantly angry
Make an entire episode centered around the Moonshine Mob's "flour/dough" business being busted, like that episode of Dexter's Lab.
I would actually use the characters from the game as opposed to what the show did.
Cuphead and mugman reach puberty and get a special potion
What does this potion do?
shit and piss all over kettle's house and he kicks their asses
Not gonna make it
yo lenstar hows rog
I'm not lenstar I'm just some random anon who just really likes his art.
Silent episode so the episode budget goes to the animation and music while also employing use of loops timed to the music to save on animation and pad the runtime, the actual episode would be about Cuphead and Mugman exploring a cave or something
I like her
This was far from the wurst thread
she can have my sausage if you know what I mean
You guys enjoy playing that game?
Good Thread eveybody
oh yeah mugman got fucing kidnapped in the table reading episode, didn't he
