So is every other Megaman clone in existence. That's how they are. And no, I'm not just talking about retro games. There are tons of recent Megaman clones out there.

That's like overly praising an RPG for being lengthy and story-driven. No shit, they all are.

I think the super-retro-gamer Cuphead reviewers have actually never played a Megaman clone in their lives. And that's what annoys me the most because Cuphead is a legitimately good game that doesn't need this reviewer bullshit.

Just wait until you get near the end, where it blatantly plagiarizes a certain Gunstar Heroes level...

Reviewer bullshit? I thought it was just one guy who didn't know how to jump and dash at the same time who thought the game was bad. Everything else I have heard is that the game is great (and it is), even if they think it is incredibly hard (which it really isn't).

1. Every review I've seen has been very positive.
2. Cuphead is nothing like Mega Man. More of a Contra/Metal Slug clone if we have to pick a game that it clones.

I'd like to try Cuphead but I'm too short on time to try it out.
Darn, sometimes it kinda sucks to be an adult with responsibilities and shit : (

Cuphead sucks. Thank god we got Mario Odyssey to show Xbox gamers what a fun platformer is like.

You kidding? It has received no shortage of criticism for it's difficulty and fun factor. Everyone agrees that it is great looking though.

It is definitely a platfoming variation. What else would it be?

A shooter.

That only accounts for certain bosses, like at least half the game is classic platforming challenges.

At best it is a platformer with shooter elements.

Half? The game has 6 levels that are run and gun (I.E. shooter levels) with minor platforming elements (just like Contra which is also a shooter) and 17 boss battle levels (Pure shooter). The game is a shooter through and through.

So running around on the ground and jumping and performing platformer actions is "pure shoot-em-up?"

What kind of fucked up shoot-em-ups have you been playing?

I didn't say "shoot-em-up", although Cuphead does have some shoot-em-up levels, I said shooter. The focus of the game is literally aiming and shooting, not platforming. If you took a 3d third person shooter, and made it 2d, it would be Cuphead.

No, Mega Man is a platformer with shooter elements. Granted, it is more shooter then Cuphead is platformer, but it is still mostly a platformer.

The platforming in cuphead is seemlessly involved with the shooting gameplay.

You are CONSTANTLY shooting and mostly jumping. You jump more in a cuphead boss fight than any mario level.

It's a platform shooter, like gunstar heroes.

My opinion of cuphead is that it doesn't deserve such praise. The game is excellent, but it's gameplay of manufactured satisfaction isn't such a master piece.
The main complaint against cuphead is it seems trial an error, a test of memory almost. People counter that by saying but every attack is telegraphed. Of course they are, and I've seen it, they are telegraphed extremely well. The detail is nothing short of perfect. If you die, it's 100% your fault, because the game is designed so well.

But that's what it really is, trial and error, only rewarding those with Stockholm syndrome for it.
