They will now attack simultaneously, although Croaks' attack is a little bit longer than Ribby's. In this phase, players are now surrounded by Ribby and Croaks in a pincer attack, with Ribby on the left and Croaks on the right. "Crude and bad, 'cause we're from the wrong side of the lily pad." He then comes back on the left side, thus commencing the second phase of the battle. In Simple mode, Ribby rolls slower, In Expert mode, he rolls faster. Once taking enough damage, Ribby rolls to the other side, attempting to damage the players, crashing into something off-screen. In Expert mode, both Ribby and Croaks do their attacks in unison, rather than individually. In Simple and Expert mode, however, the pattern is shot once, with decreased speed in Simple mode, and increased speed in Expert mode. The entire pattern (including the reversion) is shot twice. The pattern reverses after the third energy fist. Ribby throws fist shaped energy waves at the player in a set pattern, some of which can be parried: one close to the ground, one slightly higher off the ground and one high off the ground.Because of this, Croaks' attack is much easier to avoid than Ribby's. These bugs are easily disposable by simply shooting at them. Croaks will spit out fireflies, which are literally on fire, that will slowly inch closer to damage the players. In the first phase, the two frogs take turns attacking the players in a set pattern that is easily memorized and avoided: "We've had fightin' souls since we've been tiny tadpoles." Also, Ribby seems to sacrifice himself in order to help Croaks be stronger, showing that the brothers will do anything to protect each other.īefore the battle, Croaks makes a taunt followed by Ribby, who snarls at Cuphead and Mugman with shaky legs. The fact that Ribby bawls and Croaks bangs his fist on the ground in anger when defeated in Simple mode implies that they may be somewhat dramatic and perhaps sore losers (although Croaks is such in a more aggravated way while Ribby is merely a wimp). Since their childhood, they were tough fighters born in the worst environments, as implied in their quotes. Ribby and Croaks are well-meaning hooligans with hearts of gold and a lot of moxie-sometimes a little too much moxie. He wears red boxing gloves, a red belt and white pants/leggings. Ribby is a green frog who is shorter than Croaks, and has a yellowish white underside. MORE: Super Smash Bros.The duo seem to be wood frogs, but Croaks is a brown frog with a light salmon underside and he wears a maroon belt, brown boxing gloves and red pants/leggings. Until StudioMDHR confirms otherwise, however, Cuphead 2 could be many, many years away.Ĭuphead: The Delicious Last Course is set to be released June 30, 2022, for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Games that may be indirectly related, but not reliant on their siblings to prove their own worth as games. Current hopes from the fanbase are that should StudioMDHR keep to its iconic rubber hose design for future games, then maybe the company could develop its own universe of games, just as players have seen between Alan Wake and Control or Half-Life and Aperture. Pragmatically, the decision for the studio to consider its other options and where it might like to go next for a new game is a far better approach than relying on Cuphead's success to maintain momentum for a second game it might not be ready for. It's abundantly clear that StudioMDHR acknowledges that there is a lot of fan support for Cuphead and isn't simply closing the door on the game forever.
