KnockBack, Episode 108: Cuphead
Added 2020-03-05 17:14:26 +0000 UTCThe so-called run-and-gunner Cuphead is hands down one of the most beautiful video games ever created. Crafted in the spirit of the rubber hose cartoon stylings of the 1920s and 1930s, Cuphead is a rarity in the modern industry: It's drawn and animated by hand, and it's brutally (and we mean brutally) difficult. It's also charming, artfully designed, funny, and full of lush detail that truly showcases the sheer amount of work and energy that went into making it. Thus, we simply had to dedicate an episode of KnockBack to Studio MDHR's masterpiece, and we hope you enjoy it. Without further ado: Here's a real high-class bout!

2020-03-19 03:55:02 +0000 UTCI just beat Cuphead a couple weeks ago. Really is a masterpiece, I thought my love of Mega Man really helped me persevere!

2020-03-13 13:51:44 +0000 UTCThis is just a general KnockBack comment (listening to Force Awakens right now) - I'm so thankful for you guys. Especially with all going on right now, my main escape of Sports hitting shut down and just the ups and downs of life in general: so glad to have CLS to listen to. <3

2020-03-08 22:22:37 +0000 UTCAround Minute 35, Colin said Sekiro when mentioning Soulsborne games that were not made by Fromsoft, I think you meant Nioh. Gotta stay sharp.

2020-03-08 09:20:50 +0000 UTC“Fuck you Grim Matchstick” I have never felt a quote from this podcast in my soul like this. This fight was so hard, but it did feel good when that bastard died.

2020-03-06 04:25:22 +0000 UTCI was looking forward to this one! It’s very inspiring to listen to Dagan talk about animation and in this case fused with his other love: games. An honor to have a question featured on the podcast! Thank you both and looking forward to Dagan’s show!

2020-03-05 21:20:07 +0000 UTCSame with you, Col’. I stopped playing it too cuz of difficulty & it’s not on PS4. 😕 That circus clown boss drove me insane
Brandon Soto

2020-03-05 19:29:59 +0000 UTCCuphead is one of my comfort food games! Plus my kids and I love the art style. I love jumping in and playing the boss battles at anytime. The only thing I haven't done yet is S rank all of the boss battles on expert. Maybe this summer!
Anthony J Sanchez
2020-03-05 18:44:43 +0000 UTCit's really tough. I just kept banging my head against the wall and when all was said and done, I had had accrued almost 1300 deaths... also, I invite you to check what the Moldenhauers look like, they are so fucking good looking; nobody should look that good AND be that talented/capable.

2020-03-05 18:36:34 +0000 UTCBrilliant topic. The design of this game is just outstanding.
Robert McCullough
2020-03-05 18:03:04 +0000 UTCI squealed like a little girl when I saw this upload. Cuphead is my favorite.
