Cuphead Speed Run Video

[Jab]

Hi everyone,

I've been working at speed running Cuphead over the last two weeks, and last night I believe I've set a new world record for beating the game at 200% with the added difficulty of pacifist on all the run and gun stages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb9_YoPoLoo

Have you checked out the Mexican runner? He's done an all expert run, but I didn't watch all of it yet to see if he also included run and gun levels. It was around 30 minutes long, but he might have done less than you. I'm not sure, but speed running this game is his thing right now.

Good job on your run though. I hope you keep it up!

If it was 30 minutes long, it sounds like he did just all the bosses with the weapon swap glitch. Still really impressive, as that glitch can start to hurt your hands after awhile.

He's currently listed as the number 1 player for running both normal and expert. But he's not there for the glitchless category so it looks like he only does speedruns using the weapon swap glitch, which means nothing the mexican runner does conflicts with the category you put yourself in. But currently, your category is rather specific so nobody that I could find also attempted those restrictions.

The closest one I found on speedrun.com was the glitchless 200%, for which there are also no entries currently. Maybe you should submit your game into that category? It still makes it appear a little less impressive that you hold the WR because there simply were no competition, but your run was only about half an hour longer than the 100% glitchless run, so that should carry some merit by itself at least.

I hope more people take interest in your category so your records carry more weight. :)

I've already submitted the run to Speedrun; including my previous 200% glitchless. I think I'll give 100% another go with what I've picked up to see if I can move up in the leaderboard.
