Hello YouTube. He actually downloaded me, dude. Oh my god. It's over, dude. The attack is not even possible, man. Dude, I'm not even close. Okay, but now this one's called the Ultra MOI. So, something tells me this is going to be the real fight. All right, here we go. Ultra MOAI. Ultimate battle. Oh, wow. I I think it just keeps getting faster, doesn't it? He was only using 1% of his power until now. Good luck, bud. So, it's a buffed version. Like the attacks are harder and also I think I'm basically killing him 10 times over. Oh my goodness. >> I wonder what the checkpoints do. Do Do you think that they actually get harder? Oh my gosh, dude. This is so much harder as well. Okay. All right. Here we go. We got to lock in. It's over. Oh my gosh, dude. That's so nasty. Wait, it's a slow one. These are all new. These are like new attacks. >> Slow one. Again, I don't know how to tell if it's a slow one or a fast one. >> These attacks are really nasty and he knows it. He's learning. That's the problem. Prepare myself. >> He already knows, man. He has me downloaded. He knows I'm bad against these fast rockets. Oh, I was I was expecting this guy to fly through, but he keeps giving me the slow one on this. It's weird. Maybe they're always slow ones on Ultram Moi. Maybe he just knows it's getting in my head. Oh, it's it is faster. So, it's not always the slow one. Oh, it loops. Nothing. Okay, dude. This is going to go for so long. This is an endurance batch. Okay. Okay, that's a fast one. It loops as well. >> Prepare myself. >> No. >> He knows. No. Okay, this is actually a way to do this. I need to be further back. He actually downloaded me, dude. Oh my god, it's over. Dude, the attack is not even possible, man. Dude, I'm not even close. Oh my gosh, dude. I don't even know if I can ever do this. I genuinely don't even know how you're supposed to dodge that attack. By the way, once he get once he lands on that attack, it's just over. So, we could do roundabout. I don't think we can wet stone the the things that fly at me, which is the real problem right now. You dodge it with the gravity glove. Just don't just get out of here, Nar. [laughter] Look at this. Okay, so let's think about this. Oh, we could fury heart. Is this cheating? This is insane. Maybe this is like how this is intended. Maybe that's why he has so much HP. Okay, let's try this. Let's try this. And if it if it feels too cheesy, you know, we might redo it without. But I feel like this is almost like what this was made for. Let's try it. We do start with one HP, which is the downside. Okay. Yeah, it is going to be tricky, but maybe maybe he'll give us hearts. Oh, the heart. It doesn't heal me. [laughter] It doesn't heal me. Dude, I don't actually know if this is any better. [laughter] This might be just as hard. You have to do the fight hitless. Let's try it for a little bit and see. >> Gravity is the solution. There's no shot. >> Dude, what is this? Dude, that's I can't like know the timing of that. Oh my gosh, dude. Even at 184%. This is so hard though. [laughter] Freaking magnet. Yeah, let me let me take Twitch chat advice and turn on magnet tsunami and and reverse gravity, dude. All right, here we go. Is this what you want, Narga? Yeah. Who wants Fury Heart where we could just reverse gravity? What just hit me? Oh my god. Because the things spawn on the top. [laughter] The one thing spawn on the top. I mean, it is pretty cheesy for some of these attacks. now. >> Oh, no. All right. Um, it wouldn't I don't think it would work for all the attacks. I could try though. I could try. Um. All right. I feel like this probably this won't work forever is the problem cuz he's eventually going to send the baseball guy after me. Wow, that was amazed that heart didn't hit me. >> This guy's gonna ruin my day. He doesn't go over here. Okay, he's not the problem. The the guy that will be the problem is um not showed up yet. I'm honestly amazed that he didn't put something in the ceiling here. He hasn't done the attack that's going to hit me, but there is an attack that's going to hit me eventually. Yeah, we just have to never roll into the attack, which so far we haven't to be fair. My thumb's going to get tired holding upright. Yeah, none of these are the problem. Oh wow, I didn't know you could actually kill the baseball guy. Dude, this is unreal. Well, he's never given me the the guy that comes up into the corner. This is going to [laughter] take so long if this actually works. This is also like the lamest kill ever. But I guess we just as well see how how long we go. Okay, I'll unduck. Yeah, it hits you immediately. You have to duck. It should learn that none of this is. Although I got hit on this attack. So maybe he's going to spam this attack now. Maybe we manip our AI. Oh wow. It actually does shoot a laser straight up, but it doesn't hit me at this position. [laughter] This is so silly. I'm amazed that doesn't hit me. Crush. That's not the guy that hits me. Still never done it, by the way, which is unreal. Oh, yeah. We get more bounces this way. Oh, it gets eaten up on those, though. I bet I'm literally not even done like 10% of his health, by the way. I don't know. The Magna Tsunami actually does a lot of damage, even with the one missing projectile. >> Prepare myself. >> How has he never done the attack with the little guy that goes up into the corner? That's unreal. Oh, whoops. Oh, these hit you out, too. >> Okay, so there's actually two attack. Dude, it's not even close, guys. It's not even remotely close. Okay. Yeah, this ain't happening. I I honestly think this is the either this or you get insanely good at the fight that I could just dodge all the attacks forever. Yeah, I think that this is the way. I think this is the way. Okay, let's let's try it like this. Let's try it like this. >> I think it's more about just surviving until this uh damage modifier is huge. Man, this is so hard though to not get a single attack that doesn't just hit me. >> Okay, I can at least kill that guy. Anytime we could kill something to make it easier, it's definitely worth it. >> No, this is a nasty one. I'm just so dead. H. Okay. Okay. I think I don't know the best way to clear those guys out. Char that is something that charge is pretty bad at. Let's try roundabout maybe roundabout could clear this stuff out easier cuz I it's more about like clearing stuff out of the way and surviving cuz eventually I'll just deal so much damage it doesn't really matter what weapon I have. >> That's true. Super two is pretty good. You make a good point. It It buys me. It gets me out of a a rough situation. Okay, let's try that. >> I want to try roundabout for a little while. Oh my gosh, dude. [laughter] That was the really fast one. >> Spread honestly wouldn't be bad either. Okay, these are really good for this these kind of phases. Okay, actually, yeah, spread also could come in handy. Let's uh let's let's get spreadshot because I think the rapid fire on this will be really good at just clearing stuff out of the way that's close. just blasting some stuff down cuz I don't really need the good ex cuz we're just we're survival is our goal here. Oh, the super only costs three mod or three cards. So, you need five to use it, but it only costs three. That's interesting. Yeah, that's pretty sketchy. But maybe it's not even that good. I don't know. >> Maybe spread's not as good. It spread doesn't seem to like kill it any faster than roundabout. >> Almost 300% damage multiplier. Oh my gosh, dude. It's the really fast one. I don't I just don't get how you're supposed to deal with that. [laughter] It's so hard. Like, those are going to be the attack that screw me on on every uh whether I have one HP or all the HP. Oh, wow. I didn't know you could do this. Oh my gosh. That's the guy that would hit you in the corner, I think. Right. We actually should be doing pretty good damage right now. Dude, it's so stupid, man. All right. Well, yeah, we actually got him to phase three. Okay, I need to experiment the next time I get these rockets. >> I I need to test if I can parry them. >> Okay, you cannot parry them. So, I I don't think there's any easy way around these guys. Like, I could super to help me out, but that's about it. It's just so hard to consistently dodge those, especially when it's the super speed ones combined with another attack. >> Like, [laughter] you have to play so precisely. >> Prepare myself. >> I like I don't even know if that was dodgeable. That's what that's the problem that I'm worried about. >> Like it depends on the RNG if they give you a g good gap or not. The super will help though to get us out of some of those situations if I use it correctly. The problem is just if he does it like twice in a row like he did that other time. >> It's going to be a problem. Okay, this is one we can we can stall this one for a bit. Stall some damage multiplier once he turns red. Okay, he stops carrying. But this does let us stall for time, which is nice. God. Oh, this is good. This is insane RNG. Oh my god. Poggers RNG, dude. Prepare myself. It's not possible, man. Oh my gosh, dude. We had such a good multiplier. I don't know that I could beat this boss. I think that attack's just going to always eventually kill me as soon as I roll into it. The problem is too with super, too, is I I couldn't clear out those bigger rocks out of the way. [clears throat] Dang it, man. Yeah. Like I just I don't even know what I'm supposed to do to dodge that attack. It seems like he could just do this attack at any time, though. Like I I feel like it doesn't have to be in the later phases for him to do that fast rockets, but maybe I'm wrong. Part of me thinks it might be easier to do this with coffee than Fury Heart. I know that sounds crazy. Hello, YouTube. [laughter] You got to get that in the the edit alpha. I I unironically think that it might be better to just play the fight for an hour with because at least I can farm HP. It's just I don't know that I'll ever not get killed by that attack eventually on a one HP fight. Maybe we still rock super two just to help get us through that one attack. And maybe maybe we do char charge. Well, the roundabout's pretty good. Maybe we do charge striker actually because this gives us a rapid weapon for which is nice for some things and it gives us a really good EX. This is actually pretty good too. Actually, this might be better than coffee. The milk carton. Apparently, this does 50 damage. So, you get a parry, your next EX will do plus 50 damage. That's actually going to add up to be a lot over the course of the whole fight. Maybe I'll actually try this meme thing. Okay, this does clear out. Okay, it doesn't clear out these things faster, does it? >> Man, maybe I do need spread. Oh, that's maybe I don't want super two. That's kind of annoying. I don't know. It's It's both good, but it's also like this fight's never going to end if I don't use the X's. Yeah, I don't know how I feel about the super. It's just going to take ages if I don't use the X's. I mean, it does help with like this situation. And I'm able to get my heart. I mean, it was pretty useful right there. >> Dude, I have to clutch this for so long though. This way. Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, dude. This would do so much damage if I didn't have super right now. >> My end is now. Oh yeah, that was going to hit me. I should have supered. >> Dang, he know he he hit me with this once and now he's spamming it. These are really messed up, too, by the way. the really fast ones. >> Yeah, he's just gonna spam it because he hit me with it once. Okay, I can kind of cheese it like this actually. >> Okay, so once he slowed it down to adjust. That's crazy. >> [snorts] >> Oh man, do we want the Maybe we don't do the super and we just try to live the milk carton life and see how good this does. >> If I could use my ex's still, it would be great. But I can't have super too and use my EX moves. This match will get redot. >> Yeah, there is that moment though where I'm going to be vulnerable when I have to quickly generate my card back up. I don't know if there's a way around that with the fury heart. I ended now. really wanted that heart, but Oh, I don't have the Okay, my bad. I've been playing this fight incorrectly. I thought I saw the super for some reason. >> I should be doing exes. >> Yeah, this does do a lot of damage though, by the way. >> I'm curious how that that's insane damage. cuz every time I parry, I'm pretty sure it it's sending out one of the milk carton things, which does a lot. >> And this EX does a lot. I bet I bet E ex is doing like 90 damage, which is crazy. Maybe this is the way. >> I just have to play very defensively and like die. The problem is when he hones in on a weakness, like once he finds he eventually does find an attack that I'm I get all hit by. My end is now Okay. Crush. My end is now dang. Okay, that doesn't work if the angle's bad enough. Okay, that strat doesn't work. That strat doesn't work. We got to abandon ship on that strategy. He's just going to spam it. Yeah. Okay. On the slower ones, it does work. The strat is now. He's trying variations. It's It's kind of funny to see like he's changing the timing around once I start dodging the one timing. >> My end is now crush. Oh my gosh. Oh, I wish I had exes for this. We're >> back to this, huh? Oh, that's cheap. I mean, actually, it was fine. It's just I didn't play it right. I get a lot more practice on the fight this way though than I do on the the one HP. >> Oh my goodness, that almost hit me. Well, here we go. Please dodge this so he doesn't spam them. >> Okay, good. Maybe he'll think that I'm good at that attack. My end is now God. Oh, we're going to be here for a while, folks. Or I'm going to die. My end is now. >> Oh no, he's spamming this again. Okay, this is fine. The tacky combo it was wasn't bad and it's not the super fast ones. Oh, that's I tried to ex, but the input got eaten by the parry lag. Think this was really fast. I thought it was a slow one, but I guess he just sped up a lot. Okay, I need to not ex on the this one when there's the seeds cuz the seeds messed up my positioning. Like, that wasn't a combo I was used to. He's making sure that I get used to it. I'd love to get the EX, but I I just got to focus on surviving this attack. Oh boy. You got to be careful with the seeds. die. >> Oh boy. >> We're probably not even halfway. I end it now. Oh my. >> Wow, that one actually did loop an extra time, by the way. They normally don't do that. crush. This is so exhausting. Crush. Okay, there's going to be an extra guy in here. See to watch out for him. Okay. Ah, that's fine. That's fine. Crush. Ah. Okay. Okay, I need to I need to use exes on these ones. They're way denser. This RNG is pretty rough. Lots of really slow ones. God crush crush. No, dude. That's my bad. I just missed the parry. I really need to not make those kind of mistakes. Yeah, these ones are really tanky. We definitely want to use the ex. >> Oh, that's I thought I could kill that in time. That's okay. We basically traded Those parries go so fast even when the boulder's so slow. It really confuses me for some reason. Oh no. No. He's going to spam it now. Oh, I got so lucky he didn't spam it. I thought that was the end of the run. He might still spam it though. It's lowkey good this attack hit me so many times. Prepare myself. >> Oh no, he knows. It might be the end of the run, but I'll try my best. >> Prepare myself. [clears throat] Prepare myself. Oh my god, dude. Stop. >> He's literally going to do it for the next two hours straight. My >> We actually weathered the storm. >> No, I'm sick of preparing thyself. I'm prepared, man. >> Prepare thyself. You freaking Okay, >> you can't. Oh my god, dude. Okay, he slowed him down a little bit at least. >> Dude, he's so much faster than on the foreground. I don't know the timing of that guy. I'm not used to having to dodge him. >> Okay, that's so stupid. It's over. He found the impossible attack. >> Okay, that one didn't loop at least. Thank goodness. >> Oh my gosh, dude. No shot. Okay, this is actually fine. I really wanted that heart, but I couldn't take it. >> If this guy loops, it's over. Okay. Oh my god. An actual different attack. >> Well, here we go again. The loopy guy is so nasty. The really fast one that loops around. Cuz I don't think there's a way to tell if he's going to loop or not. I really wanted that you >> Yeah, he knows this guy's is like my bane. Whatever. At least I got us through that guy. Prepare myself. I end it now. I end it now. Die. Uh-uh. [cough and clears throat] Prepare myself. >> Prepare myself. crush. I end it now. All right. Dude, this is way too tense. >> My end is now. >> All right, we clawed our way back out of that pit, though. That was ridiculously hard. Oh. No. Okay, we're good. The spikes are actually blocking my shots. That's what was messing me up there. >> Dang it. I didn't see that. >> No, that was in the X animation. Okay, I need to not never do that again. Keep that in mind. He's going to spam this probably, right? Okay, I got I got to clutch up. I got to stop uh losing focus. >> I really wanted that hard and it got me hit. I missed a parry input earlier so it messed me up. End it now. >> I'd love a heart. >> Man, when he spams this, it's really hard to see the one all the ones coming from the edge. >> That's good. at least. Dude, I How is that hitting me from all the way over there? Oh my god, they have gravity. You got to be kidding me. I never knew that. >> All right. Well, I learned something new about this attack. It makes sense why I was getting hit now. They have freaking gravity. They just patch in gravity. Imagine they start subtly changing attacks how they work this deep into the fight. See with that guy, the Luca dude. crush. God. How long has this been going on, by the way? This single attempt. Does anyone know? Oh my god, that was close. >> Uh-oh. >> Oh no, I need to get rid of one of these spikes. Okay. >> Uh, that's fine. That's fine. It doesn't mean he's going to spam this, which is pretty annoying, but Oh, I did it. Let's go, dude. [laughter] I actually did it. The freaking real way, too. Oh my goodness, dude. Dude, 23 minutes and 44 seconds. S Wreck, let's go, dude. Oh my god, man. Dude, my heart my heart when I went to uh when I went to one HP that one time and I had to dodge those things for like 2 minutes straight at one HP, I thought I was going to have a heart attack, dude. 23 minutes. Let's go. [laughter] We actually beat Dude, the milk carton was actually insane. I bet that did a couple thousand damage on its own. That was That was super intense, dude. I thought it was over when I went to one HP. It's crazy on this fight, too, because once it sees that something's hitting you, it literally spams it until you either die or you figure out how to dodge it. Prepare thyself, dude. He was relentless. Did you see it? It's like he heard me saying that that attack was my weakness. That took [laughter] so much. That's like a whole speedrun, dude. 23 minutes. That's like a full run. [laughter] My brain is cooked. Oh, with that though, we did it. We officially beat this mod. We beat everything in it. We even sranked a bunch of fights. We got uh all the running and guns, all the stages, collected everything, all the mausoleiums, all the achievements. We have done all the things. It took what, like 23 hours for everything, something like that. We have beaten Cupno version 2.2. That was very fun. Maybe someday I'll I'll revisit this mod for some other things. Like, I don't know. I I I'd have to experiment to see how much fun it would actually be, but maybe someday I'll I'll think about speedrunning it or uh getting all the S ranks. Yeah, I'll see everybody. Take it easy. Bye-bye. That'll do it for the Cuphead Cup of GDO playthrough. If you enjoyed the series, consider liking and subscribing as it does help me out. And I got more content featuring other games crazy mods coming along with some Cuphead co-op speedrun videos planned for the near future, too. Thanks for watching. Bye-bye.
