Reducing C02 by Planting trees
If you don’t know your parries from your Special Arts in Cuphead, we’ve put together a short guide explaining the basics. Cuphead is a tough game to master, but if you go into it knowing what to expect then you will definitely have an advantage. With that in mind, let’s start with the most basic of basics: the controls.
Some sections of Cuphead have you take to the skies in a biplane. Here are the default controls for when that happens.
If you are playing Cuphead on a controller, it can be hard to jump and fire at the same time with the default controls. This issue is solved immediately when you map the fire button to the right trigger, freeing up your thumb to perform the jumps as you continuously fire with the trigger.
If you want to beat Cuphead, you need to master the parry. Anything that is pink can be parried. You simply jump into it, then press jump again at the exact point of contact. Successful parries fill up your EX Meter. Once the meter is filled, press the EX Shoot button to fire off your equipped Super Art.
