Uh Michael is uh saying that about the uh backy pattern the one in 10. >> Oh yeah, we actually which he's also been giving out a lot. Yeah, he has been, which is kind of ridiculous considering. [Music] Every time you kill him, I'm going to put one pineapple on one. It's a good thing you're not an Italian citizen. You know, happy for you though. You like that pineapple on that pizza? Go for it. [Music] Yeah, do it. Do it. The voice tone changes crazy. [Music] Welcome. [Applause] >> All right, [Music] >> this match will get red hot. >> It's on. [Music] Call me. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] >> Yo, what's up, Trisk? >> Yo, Trisk found us. >> Oh no, look what I got here. Yeah, I actually two cycled Dracula on this exact device. I taught him uh I taught him a little bit of cash and he got a two cycle Dra which was the scroll glitches I did. I did a couple of them. You did race race 14 and uh the cheese. You got the race 14 like immediately. >> Yeah, that D-pad you have is really good for it. >> Yeah. or dog one advocate. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for giving that to me. This thing's awesome. Oh. Uh I guess you can drive me. Yeah, it doesn't matter, right? Uh we uh I guess that does give us an like on scoreboard, but probably better than not doing ghost slopper. I don't know. I guess you just die. Oh, I didn't have a right. Well, you might want to count. >> Uh I tried to play it as aggressive as I could. >> I think that's within five, but >> if anybody feels like checking back, that would be great. >> Yeah, if uh Wolf's ghost was off screen for five. Thank you, Michael. >> Thank you, Michael. I I you're you're the best. >> Michael's been coming in giga clutch on the the live frame counts. >> Yeah. >> I guess it would have been better for me to just heal. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's just I honestly didn't even know what to do. >> It was hurting my brain even thinking about it. >> Mobile was a wolf fair. >> We're good. Okay. Thanks. [Music] I got a single. [Music] >> Wow, he's dead though. >> Okay, >> I think we both hit two triples earlier, though. >> Yeah, that probably did make up. >> Wow. >> I I literally just shot a lover straight straight forward. >> That was just to show him it was boss, though. the better circle of this game. True, true, true. [Music] I made it three time. [Music] >> Here's a real highass belt. It's all [Music] [Music] works. [Music] Okay. I'm surprised she had that much health. >> Yeah, >> I guess we did go to that face pretty quick. It was like one, huh? [Music] >> Oh, yeah. It was good. I think I almost died that parry star. Honestly, I parried it pretty late. I might have been like a frame off time to it. Let's [Music] get >> now. Go. [Music] [Music] Okay. Okay. Yeah. 682. >> 682 is good. >> Very solid. We're bust out these L1 ones like practically every attempt. Yeah. [Applause] [Music] Bring rope. I heard the game being busted. I think I held up right to too late. Never mind. >> Brawl is truly booming. >> Now go. [Applause] [Music] Oh my [Music] god. >> You too. That was good. What was that? Like a 35 or something? >> Probably seven. Okay. Well, dang. It seemed so much better than that, man. We worked so hard. It's cuz the candy corn's so scuffed. >> Yeah, >> I blame the candy corn. [Music] >> I was so excited about that one. >> I know. Candy corn first on uh co-op's really brutal. >> Yeah. Okay. >> A brawl is surely brewing. >> You're up. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] That's probably that late, right? Yeah. [Music] Okay, that's good. >> I really wanted to greet the EX, but I would have died, I'm pretty sure. >> Yep, pretty sure. But yeah, I really got to make it a point to die over here. I was trying to get the the um the next EX off. >> Yeah, >> that's not perfect though. >> Yeah, it's weird on that pattern. I'm I'm kind of like incentivized to start exing a little sooner, I guess. Yeah. >> We're not used to actually getting like a pretty good pattern. Now go [Applause] >> make sure to [ __ ] >> That's okay. [Music] He did it again. What a guy. [Music] [Music] This puppet probably will be around for a while. [Music] Okay, good. Okay, we get another chance at Bey. Yep. You better not one in tennis again, man. It's already been like four times today. Or at least give us Skippy again. That helps a lot. [Music] >> Good day for a and begin. >> I held jump. [Music] [Applause] I'll die. Okay. Nice. Not bad. Yep. He actually didn't screw us over for once. Okay. [Music] This match will get red hot. Now go. [Music] [Music] Oh, I did not end up where I thought I was going to. [Music] Oh, I need to take damage. Try to die low. [Music] >> Okay. Yeah, that's fine. Good. Solid solid pace. All right, next boss that can scare us incoming out of the uh 20. >> Yeah, out of the 20. >> It's funny because there's 19 bosses in here. >> Well, the grandpa kettle. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Forgot about it. [Music] Come on. rumor. Hook us up all the platform. Every single platform. [Music] >> No mean pleas. >> Oh my god. He did it. >> He did it. >> So much higher on co-op. [Music] Orbs. >> Orbs. [Music] Wow. Nice job. So, I guess you just go in. Oh. Oh. Oh. Did something happen? Okay. >> I was on locker. Yeah. I >> Oh, okay. >> I got cross weaponed. >> I actually wouldn't have dashed out if I didn't hear you make that sound. Oh, but I assumed something went wrong. Like didn't die like immediately when I spread exed a couple times. >> Okay, so I just got out of there. Oh, all right. This is fine. Police B was a total jerk, but we're still okay. Good day for a battle. [Music] [Applause] I think I think [Applause] Okay. Okay. Where? [Music] [Music] >> All right, Sally. Don't hit us with 400 lightning bolts, please. >> This match will get red >> now. Go. [Music] [Applause] Can't believe she took that dump, man. At least it was an instant transition. Oh, I forgot about my Okay, well, we're both at three, so I'm going to have to take some damage here. I guess you could just take one hit and that'll be good. [Applause] Nice. Well done. Okay, dude. That phase one was like freaky. Something about that phase one was just bizarre. >> Yeah, I don't even remember what happened. I'm just >> Yeah, I'm just living in the prizing to be honest. >> It's It's for the best. It's for the best. >> All right, so while Worman we I don't go for the 6x and >> that's kind of Oh, yeah. If I can go for five quads, I will do the damage boost and death. So, be ready on the fifth >> EX. >> Otherwise, I'm not going to do it. >> You're up. >> So, you could even steal a little early like you did to be safe if you're nervous cuz it's honestly not that bad. [Music] to the right. Yeah. [Music] >> Oh, I didn't get hit. That's fine. >> It was still okay. >> That works. >> It was a crap pattern. I was nervous. >> Mhm. >> I forgot to get hit. I honestly forgot to point that out. Like I didn't your health. >> It's just that pattern's so bad because if we speed it up too much. >> Yeah, it'll >> it crushes you when you get no quads and you just the run's dead. [Music] >> That's okay, though. This is still fine. [Music] >> Here's a real highass belt. [Applause] [Music] Interesting. [Music] Uh-oh. I ped that a little bit. We're okay. Um, okay. [Music] Oh. Oh. Oh, Patri. Okay. Thought you were going have to take the death. Yeah. The problem was I was at 2 HP. Oh, right. Right. I should have uh recognized it and taken the damage over to you. >> That's okay. It's not that bad. >> It's still It's still a pretty good pace to be honest. >> Yep. [Music] >> We'll just have to both remember to take damage at some point. >> Yep. [Music] >> Good day for a battle. point it up to me if it looks like I'm still late in the fight. Okay. [Music] [Applause] Oh, sorry. [Applause] [Music] Okay. Okay. Nice. >> You can do this. >> Yeah, this is definitely possible. We don't have that much wiggle room to play safe. So, I mean, if you're if you're if you're comfortable with the uh train threat, we can just >> Let's go for it. Unless there's something that some good reason to not do it. Yeah. >> Exactly. [Music] Good day for a small. Now go. [Music] [Music] What am I doing? Okay. Should still be fine. I'm breaking. Okay. You need to rev. Okay, it's actually fine. Um, >> I'll take a death. Okay, cool. Me and you want to get the tail. Okay. [Music] Okay. Okay. Good job. I actually been faster, I guess. So >> yeah, it probably is cuz I got to do an extra full damage lobber EX because I >> that split. >> Yeah, I actually had time because you were so low. You died so low. I actually had time to get off like an extra double damage lobber EX. >> So I think that might actually be better. Interesting. So hey, we accidentally got a better strat right in in a in a good a solid pace run. So, >> okay, time for the last to fight again. Okay, we get one heart. That makes me feel a lot better. You're really I don't normally have these reaction times. Like, that's so that's >> a brawl is surely brewing now. Go. [Music] Oh, [Music] I was very careful to see. >> Yeah. So, we're okay. Nice. >> A brawl is surely brewing and begin. [Music] Okay, we get a we get a bunch. >> Probably if I get hit once on Purleta though, I'm going to go up. >> Mhm. >> And parry. Nice. So, if like she charges, I'm going to get hit once and then go up on the parry. The parry chip. >> I'll aim to get hit twice. Now go. [Music] [Music] >> Nice job. Uh, do you want me to take the death? >> Uh, sure. >> Okay. >> Just make sure you die really low. >> Mhm. >> I even get out of the way and just die at like the very bottom of the cards to be safe. You can still parry though. >> This is what we're practiced. Good day for a well battle. >> Okay. Okay. We're okay. >> All right. >> We didn't get good RNG on King Dice, honestly, but uh we're doing fine. >> Yep. Good luck, man. >> You do. >> Maybe with our good lucks combined. >> Yeah, let's let's just let's just like play the video game. Like we again, we don't have that much wiggle room here. So like let's just let's just play a normal D. >> Yeah, we don't have to do anything uh different than how we normally do it. [Music] Last will get red. >> You're up. >> Well, you can still do it. >> Okay, that was fast. That wasn't that bad. [Applause] damage. Yeah. [Music] [Music] Spider people. >> What a game, man. Of course they give us spider first. Well, we did clutch out one more almost two seconds more off the record. Yep. freaking spider first and we got charged Petta. Like we got a pretty bad king dice pattern. >> That was just an unlucky ending. Yeah, >> we had the play, man. >> We did. I think we played good. That's just the classic classic Cuphead experience.

Video description

Back in July of 2025 legendary speedrunner and friend of mine SBDWolf visited me for a week and we took the opportunity to work on Co-Op speedruns in Cuphead. Several things delayed this being uploaded but it's finally here and with a couple more Cuphead Co-Op related videos on their way! After spending a few days working on strategies and practicing we had quickly gotten a few records but found ourselves on a sub 28 pace this run! Unfortunately we got trolled with bad luck on the Devil but still finished out with a new record of 28:04! We DID get a sub 28 run but.... that run ended up being invalid due to barely invalidating a certain Co-Op rule which I ended up making a video explaining which can be seen here - https://youtu.be/xy8smZehQ8Y This was awesome having effectively my original mentor of the game and now good friend visit me all the way from Italy for us to both get to run this game together that's been so meaningful for us both. While we didn't get the sub 28, our original goal for the visit was sub 29 and we crushed that and improved the Co-Op record a lot which I am really happy about.
