What he said

I really like the detail of color with the Djimmi boss. When color cartoons came out. Disney had the contract for full technicolor, and so Looney tunes had to use two color until Disney's contract was up. Which made a lot of their early color cartoons with that color scheme. Very good attention to detail.

@@limitbreak2966 full technicolor technology was contracted out to Disney, who had exclusive rights to use the process for a while. So other animation companies had to use other processes like two tone technicolor, which is was Looney Tunes used for its first color animation. They used that process for years until the rights to full color became available. That’s why looney tunes early color cartoons looks weird because they could only use that specific process which only provided the two tone colors. And Djimmi uses that same color palette in this fight as a homage to that technology that many companies had to use. It’s fascinating.

I like how for the Sally Stageplay boss it implies Cuphead and Mugman are so good at acting that when they get hit by the effects they genuinely get hurt and die

I love how Djimmi actually uses his brain in this fight (both literally and figuratively). He sends out a Cuphead clone which may as well be just as strong as Cuphead.

The strange reason Mangosteen has that name is thanks to Gunstar Heroes, one of the inspirations for Cuphead's gameplay. Specifically, there's a boss who is a floating face that, for some bizarre reason, is named "Melon Bread", so they decided to give him a bizarre fruit-themed name as well.

For Mangosteen, just stand underneath him. The cubes, except for the orange one, can’t hit you when you’re directly underneath the 8 ball. So all you have to do is move when the orange cube comes and the ball shoots a bullet at you.

I 1000% with honey bee being last. In most of the boss fights you can't be mad at anything but yourself, in the bee boss it feels like it was just made to screw with you. I also found that boss more difficult than any other boss. But that boss can just go to hell

Astrological nerd here. Hildaberg’s 3 signs are Taurus (bull), Gemini (twins), and Sagittarius (archer). It was fun watching people react to them appearing. Awesome ranking list; really on a Cuphead watch right now, so it’s fun hearing various perspectives on what bosses are more favoured.

I've been replaying Cuphead these past weeks because I was so hyped for the Netflix show, and now I'm addicted to watching rankings on youtube. And lemme tell you guys, I am SO GLAD I came across yours. It is actually refreshing to watch a rank that doesn't praise the same old bosses and that shakes things around a bit. I know this is super personal but I for example do not like Cagney AT ALL and people just love him so I was a bit tired of seeing him be on top constantly. Same with Cala Maria, which is my LEAST fave boss of the whole game, I just hate the mechanics of that boss (super unpopular opinion). I also absolutely love how you both have Djimmi as number one, he has been my favourite since I first played the game in 2017.

Fun fact! For some reason, in the Djimmi the Great boss fight, Djimmi has a second hitbox off screen, and you can actually hit it a lot of the time. During down time in between phases, if you just chill in the bottom left corner and drop bombs, you'll be able to hit him for free and get some really cheesy damage in, even when he's not on screen. So next time you do this fight, if you have some down time waiting for his animations, try this trick and it'll speed up the fight a little bit more and make your expert runs just a little bit easier.

I think Cuphead, Dark Souls, and Star Wars are all in a three way tie for the worst (Although the star wars ones are probably the funniest and least frustrating of the three) -Alex

That number 19 spot felt like a very difficult Mario vs Bowser fight. I wish that's what it was like for a Mario Game.

All the rage from not beating the boss it feels so satisfying once you defeat it

Didn't expect djimmi to be number 1 but a nice surprise

(However, this boss isn't my favorite either, I just do not like it as much as the others as well.) 1:20 I can, just go left then up, then wait for another platform above you or dash across after going left and up. It would have been a better choice then dashing immediately to the right. Harder to pull off and recognize in the midst of a boss fight. Especially if you do not know the bosses tells or what certain things mean. The bullets go zagging left and right, not straight up or directly after you. So you did have a chance and or means of getting away if played just right. Do I expect all people to be able to do so, no. Can we say it was damage that was impossible to dodge or not take, no.

right! that’s my exact method.

7:36 those cube dudes are the pieces of chalk people use on their sticks when playing Billiards

1:24 go all the way to left of the screen, jump up, and either wait for it to pass as the hit box doesn't make it to the sides, or dodge it normally.

Even playing through the game again 5 years later, Phantom Express still kicked my ass. It's the neurotic platform micromanagement in the phases before that gets me. But I find the last phase to be the easiest by far since you can still fight the boss from mostly anywhere on the screen and there aren't enemies messing with your position the whole time. At that point it's just another fight where you have to pay attention to the projectiles. You don't have to worry about any extra enemies that screw you over if you kill them in the wrong spot. I love the concept of the fight, it just pisses me off whenever I have to beat it again.

Shoutout to Sally Stageplay to being the most fun on two player

They do have to understand that each boss has to have a certain quirk to make them hard. It also initiates the idea that they should use charms beyond double parry and smoke dash. I've used the axe and coffee more often for S-Ranking which helps alot. I do agree with certain points though, Goopy has a very boring attack pattern and it's bs excuse is it's an early game, they should toss dark soul equivalent bosses already Edit: shouldn't*

Finally I find someone who has the same fellings about this boss, this boss took me 4 hours to beat HIM on full healf because 4 phase was So hard to dodge,

I'm assuming you're talking about the devil right? Bc phase 4 in that boss s u c k s

The weird thing about djimmi for me is the fact I struggled on him for like a week and then when I finally beat him I got S rank for the first time!

my personal tier list:(worst to best) -goopy -brineybeard -honeybottoms -root pack -von bon bon -carnation -warbles -sally -cagney -hitler mouse -djimmi -ribby and croaks -hilda -beppi -phantom -cala maria -king dice -grim -devil

Also yes I 100 percent agree with me chimes being meant to torment war prisoners The final phase on dr khals robot is insanely easy imo at least on regular difficulty for me I first try made it to the bullet hell but choked cause nerves then it took me like 40 minutes to get past the first three phases since those first two are hell and I would choke the second but once I made it to the final phase I beat it while on one hp the whole time it’s honestly just a easy bullet he’ll imo

I completely agree with the theme rankings, you're clearly a man of culture!

I love the strength stand reference. Lol

Fun fact: the onion In the root pack only attacks in self defense if you don’t attack he’ll smile at you and leave

I liked Sally Stageplay but she seemed to easy compared to the other Isle 3 bosses. Wish they made her just a little more difficult. The reason I think this is because it only took me a few minutes to beat her the first time and she was the easiest Isle 3 boss to get A+ and S Ranks. That’s just my 2 cents though.

1:27 there is a platform behind to you’re left you could have landed on.

Retroactively going back as I've now gotten the plat trophy for this game (including DLC) and really loved it. You could just feel the passion in every moving frame of this thing and it deserves all the praise that it gets. Incredibly strong boss line up as well, contending for the very best in any game I've ever played that isn't Dark Souls 3 or Sekiro. My list would prolly look a little something like this (based on expert mode and without Ms. Chalice): 27) Rumor Honeybottoms (for all the same reasons you guys cited) 26) Goopy Le Grande (simple and boring but not all that terrible) 25) The Root Pack (pretty much same as Goopy imo these can swap places but I like the variety here more) 24) Angel and Devil (also boring but amazingly atmospheric) 23) King Dice (I'm better at using the dice now than I was before, but I still hate most of the mini bosses. My favorite is prolly Hopus Pocus and I only wished he was a little less tanky) 22) Wally Warbles (the ONLY boss I couldn't beat on expert without the Heart Ring. It teeters on the line of absolute bullshit sometimes but it's more engaging to me than everything below it) 21) The King's Gauntlet (I don't necessarily love these but it's a decent time. The Rook is prolly my favorite) 20) Baroness Von Bon Bon (relies way too heavily on RNG in the first phase for me) 19) Glumstone the Giant (I kinda hate this one tbh but I acknowledge that I'm not very good at it. I just swear that there's unavoidable damage sometimes) 18) Ribby and Croaks (insane jump in difficulty on expert, although like Bon Bon, a little too much RNG reliance in the last phase brings it down) 17) The Devil (I'm a little better at this fight now but this used to be bottom bunk. I still think there's some bullshit but the atmosphere helps a lot) 16) Beppi the Clown (the second to last phase kinda sucks but all around it's pretty well designed and has a cool aesthetic) 15) Hilda Berg (I enjoy every boss from here on out. I love when Cuphead bosses get more and more insane as the fight goes on) 14) Cagney Carnation (mostly cause I love the theme lol, but also a very well designed fight. I just don't really go back to this one as much as the others) 13) Sally Stageplay (I feel bad for this one because it does everything right, but I also don't really replay this one as much) 12) Cala Maria (the Medusa phase is not as bad as everyone says it is, although I won't get mad at anyone for not enjoying the final phase. I like it overall) 11) Chef Saltbaker (hardest boss in the game easily. I hate the fires that track you in the first two phases but otherwise great atmosphere, music and challenge) 10) Dr. Kahl's Robot (insanely difficult as well, I wished the last phase wasn't so tanky but otherwise really well done) 9) Captain Brineybeard (I find this one to be a ton of fun, it's almost ineffable why I like it so much but I just do) 8) Grim Matchstick (the perfect amount of health and the platforming is well done. This fight is actually easier on expert funnily enough since the clouds go the opposite direction) 7) Djimmi the Great (the variety is great and it keeps you on your toes, although if Esther Winchester didn't exist this fight would be a lot higher) 6) The Phantom Express (staggering amount of variety here as well. I just love the wackiness of everything here, only thing I don't love is the cart you stand on) 5) Moonshine Mob (amazing idea for a boss, and almost perfectly executed. The anteater phase is a little slow but otherwise it's practically flawless) 4) Werner Werman (my favorite base game boss. Perfect health, good challenge, funny concept, great music, it's got it all) 3) Esther Winchester (the best plane boss by a mile. The insanity is on full display here, it's basically schizophrenia personified and I love every bit of it) 2) Mortimer Freeze (that second phase alone really stands out as being so well designed. Not too tanky, and it really does feel great to do this one hitless more so than most of the other bosses here) 1) The Howling Aces (yeah the DLC absolutely kicks ass lol. This one is also a bit of an ineffable one but I just find this to be the most fun boss with the most fun idea and my favorite boss theme as well. The screen tilting isn't all that disorienting for me either)

17:37 there is a very short high pitched sound effect that plays 1 second before she does the freezing lazer out of her eyes which make it ez and actually make this attack completely avoidable

I found Cagney Carnation exceptionally easy, I A+'d him on my first try in my first playthrough.

The attack names appearing at the top, her angelic form looking similar to Kefka, etc. Also, I find the secret route to be darkly hilarious.

The ranking averaging process is complicated, no one can get placed higher or lower than any of us placed him. Sometimes when there’s a boss one of us hates (in this case me) it drags it down a lot due to conflicting with other bosses rankings following that rule etc -Alex

One of the funniest things is he actually got the dates correct, 1920's-1934 is when the great depression fully hit the states!

1:23 And It take me first time seeing that to know that is the only way you would take damage lol If you dash to that platform sooner, you would have time to jump over the bullet. Or just stay on the left side and just jump back. That attack has a clear platen, it your own fault on this one.

I don't want to sound rude but I would advise when doing an opinion based ranking state it is your opinion in the title and give a reason for every ranking. This really seemed like an odd mash-up. Neither of you gave a lot of reasons or explanations of most of the middle rankings. It seemed odd how some easy bosses were the worst and some were in the best. like the tom and jerry were top 3 for being easy and the blue blob and root pack was at the worse end for being easy. It just doesn't seem consistent and seemed mostly based on looks of the boss and atmosphere.

This game is the dark souls of not jamming out to every single music piece in the ost

getting A not even S on rumor honeybottoms killed me inside and made me rage more than the devil
