Cuphead: Ribby and Croaks Boss Fight #3 

Ribby: No! We lost our soul contracts! To a cup! Croak: You sayin’ it’s my fault?! Ribby: So what if I am?! (Ding ding) *Aggressively punching each other*

The lesser known children's book, "Frog and Toad Get the Shit Kicked Out of Them".

"You comin' back here to make a cheap reference?" _"So what if I am?!"_

“You sayin’ it’s my fault?” “So what if I am?” *starts pummeling each other*

Fun fact: every frame in cuphead is hand drawn, so every single possiblity, every action, every projectile, is all hand drawn frame by frame. Think of the work required to make just one battle alone, let alone the whole game...

Ribby and his brother Croaks were always getting into trouble--picking fights usually. But it was only a matter of time before they found themselves in a fight they couldn't win; they were ambushed by a hungry snake and needed someone to bail them out. The devil found them without much trouble, as he often seeks out the desperate, and promised them incredible strength at the cost of their souls. The contract was made, and true to his words, the brothers gained an increased size and amazing power...more than enough to dispatch the serpent who wanted to make a meal of them. The new fighters yearned to test their power and get even stronger; they invaded a fly showboat making port on Inkwell Isle, promising the flies that they wouldn't be eaten if they continued to provide Ribby and Croaks with strong fighters.

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate that background?

Finally, Battletoads on Xbox one.

Ribby: "Our soul contract! We lost it!" Croaks: "You sayin' it's MY FAULT?!" Ribby: "SO WHAT IF I AM?"

The frogs made a Street Fighter references before the fight: Ribby does Ken's taunt and Croaks perform Akuma's signature victory/taunt pose

When you gamble and get 3 tigers...

I can't lie..These dudes are giving me a hard time lol

*A KNOCKOUT!* "Croaks! Your idea of turning into a slot machine didn't worked! "YOU'RE SAYING IT'S MY FAULT?!" "SO WHAT IF I AM?!" *DING DING* *starts fighting*

Street Fighter references... Alright Cuphead, I'm interested.

Considering they're frogs in a club full of flies, who do you think the background characters are rooting for?

toad eats frog and becomes a slot machine... *LOGIC*

Ribby:Did you see how i kick those dumps? Croaks:You say IT'S MY FAULT? Ribby:So what if I AM? *Battle ring start playing.*

*"You went for broke and now you're croaked!"*

Ribby and croaks in.. "Here come dat boi"

Ribby: I can’t believe we lost our soul contracts, by two cups! Croaks: you sayin it’s my fault!? Ribby: so what if I am!? *starts pounding each other* Cuphead: maybe we should go…. Mugman: yeah let’s go….

That one fly with the cigarette doesn't seem to be paying attention to the big brawl in the foreground. That two fly show on stage must really have her attention... Or maybe fights are really common there, what with Ribby and Croaks hanging out there all the damn time.

We already did this in one video but we can't resist.... YOU SAYIN ITS MY FAULT?

This made me imagine a scenario that has happened way before this fight: Ribby and Croaks are in Devil's Casino, playing some games. They too get tricked by the Devil. But instead of pleading for help, Ribby punches the Devil out of his way and runs off, while Croaks turns into a fan to slow down the Devil, King Dice and everyone else who's trying to come after them. He, too, runs away after a while, but him and Ribby soon find out that they need a hiding spot. They find a room full of slot machines and fuse together into a slot machine to disguise themselves and blend in. Their chasers run by them without noticing them. After they've gone, the frogs revert the fusion and run away from the casino, laughing at the Devil's stupidity.

Mudha we love ya mudha

*THIS BATTLE WILL GET RED HOT AND BEGIN*

This fight, or Hilda Berg is the first real challenge you will have to face, the frogs methods of attacks can be difficult to manage. However they are very much focused on patterns. Learning them will make them quite easy. The first phase is easy once you figure out what's going on, the tall frog will spit out fireflies that slowly home into your position, they can be destroyed with only 1 shot. If playing two player, if one of you has the shotgun, the guy with the shotgun can just act as an umbrella as the other shoots the boss. When the short frog starts spinning his fist, he will start shooting hadukens. While it seems intimidating it goes in a pattern which follows as "Jump, duck, duck, duck, jump." And repeat, some of the hadukens can be pink, however I don't recommend trying to parry them unless your sure it's the end of the attack, or that you can get back into the rhythm of dodging. The second phase is also really daunting, with the tall frog trying to push you back, and the weird projectiles that the short one is throwing. However, there is a safe spot, run a bit past the start of the wind animation and try and stay there, that spot will prevent you from being instantly hit from a downward projectile, and if he launches upwards, you easily have enough time to move out of the way, I'd avoid dashing if you can, as the added movement may launch you into the short frog accidentally. The final phase, the slot machine. Can be a bit of trouble. Firstly the coin it fires are easy to avoid, just make sure there isn't one in your path when you go to parry the lever. Once you hit it, you can get one of 3 results. Bulls: which are the easiest to avoid, just watch what direction the small flame is facing to tell you to jump up, or stay down, if your lucky, you can get multiple ups in a row, giving you time to deal pain uninterrupted. Tigers is quite the nuisance, the balls that come all will float In the same way as the other balls, so find a rhythm in a spot and dodge away! Snakes will test your footwork as it's just a giant trail of many platforms that deal damage on their sides, keep a good flow of jumping and don't pay much focus on the boss, I highly suggest not using specials during this attack, as there's a good chance once it ends, you will fall in between the platforms. Or, just plain ruin your rhythm.

Here after watching the Cuphead Show

After the fight: "ARE YA SAYIN' THIS IS MY FAULT?" "SO WHAT IF I AM?!?!"

"YOU SAYIN' IT'S MY FAULT"?

Ribby: Your idea of turning us into a slot machine didn’t work, AND we lost our soul contracts to these cups! Croaks: You sayin’ it’s my fault?! Ribby: So what if I am?! *DING DING!* (Ribby and Croaks start punching each other.)

Vs. Dat Boi and Pepe.

Don’t let this make you forget that Mr.Krabs sold spongebobs soul for 62 cent

Ribby: We lost to those cups! Croaks: You sayin' its my fault!?

“You guys want an evening you’ll never forget?”

I finally got passed the slot machine thanks to you 🤗 Had to learn quick how to shoot & jump the whole time.

"You sayin' it's MY fault?!"

This joint is hoppin'.

this game is incredibly interesting!

DID THAT FROG BECOME A CANIBAL?!

You sayin its my fault?

The fact that this is a boxing match is consistent with the utterance of "knockout" at the end of this.

That slot machine part is difficult as fuck. It took me a ridiculously long time to get past that shit. The first two parts (The frog-fighting) was fairly easy. But that fucking slot machine kept screwing me over every time.

1:06 imagine if there was spoken dialogue for the frog brothers at this moment Frog Boxing secret technique! Ribbiting Slot Machine

Is it wrong that I find the twin fly dancers in the backround cute?

I really love the music! I'm glad this game came out.

One. Frog. + One. Toad =

Dat boi and pepe teaming up

Croaks:Your saying it's my fault Ribby:so what if I am *starts fighting*

comparing this video to 2015 gameplay from before they had a live band doing the music fills my heart, so glad this team got the funding they needed to make their game the best one it could be

Ribby and croaks: hahahahahahahahahHahaha two tea cups are losers! Cuphead: no we’re not!!! Mugman: cuphead let’s just get those contract Ribby: if you want ours. Croaks: you need to beat us. Cuphead and mugman: now you’re talking

Man, Frog and Toad fell on hard times after their books stopped selling :(

Here come dem bois

There was nothing more satisfying than completely dodging the tigers attack on my first try, the slot machine part was very visually appealing since it was the very first time I'd seen such a huge visual transformation in a boss

It's been exactly 2 years since this happened and the song still slaps.

It's like wario and waluigi fighting together

Ladies and gentlemen here they are the fighting frogs!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

This battle is TOADilly awesome!

I've just now realized at the beginning, the frogs are referencing Ryu/Akuma and Ken.

"So how are we going to beat this guy, Ribsy?" "First I'll spit fireflies at him while you just stand there wavin yer fists at im, then while I'm waving my fists you trow these little energy balls at im." "Uhmm..." "Then you do this rolling move over to the other side and throw these disco ball thingies at him while I spin my head around real fast like a fan to blow him towards you." "But..." "But this is the best part! Then you'll roll into my mouth and I turn into a slot machine! Itll spit a few easily dodgable coins at him, then when he hits the lever it'll trigger one of three randomized spiked platforms that'll shoot out at him!" "Uhmmm... I was thinking we both just jump on him at the same time and beat the daylights out of him"

The fly lady smoking doesn’t give two shits about the fight, she just wants to watch her girlfriends dance

Joel's dad used to be a boxer who sold his soul to the devil? No wonder Kermit the Frog became a devout Christian and had a son who destroys operating systems.

Thank you for this video because when they turn into a slot machine i was stuck on the frog one but now i know how you do it thanks!

Yes thank you this video was so helpful

I have expected one to turn into darts on one phase for a dart frog pun. And one to turn into a bull and one be a matador for a bull frog pun in one phase.

I just bought this today since it's finally physical copy. This is addictive AF

My little sister thought that Ribby and Croaks were Frog and Toad XD

Ribby and Croaks do remind me of Frog and Toad.

This is one of my favorite fights in this game. I like that's there's two frogs to fight. Too bad a lot of the other bouts suck.

They were fighting souls since they were little tadpoles

I just love how I'm in a casino watching this.

I love how all those flies are standing around watching two anthropomorphic cups fight two giant frogs like it’s nothing

after like 50 attempts I finally beat em, and got perfect run in the process :D all thanks to getting snake twice in phase 3

“So what if I am.”

Inspired by SonicDestroyer12 Ribby and Croaks were two strong frogs who came into the devil's casino once. The devil hoped to scam them, and claim their souls. But Ribby and Croaks were smart, and could tell the devil was up to no good. When they lost, instead of paying up, Ribby and Croaks made a beeline for the doors. The devil was furious! Running after them, he tried to catch them, but Ribby and Croaks were much faster, and the devil could tell he would lose them. But before they disappeared round the corner, the devil cast a spell on them which gave them the odd ability to turn into a slot machine. It was a curse upon the duo which served as a reminder that nobody could ever outsmart the devil.

The firsts two parts are easy as pie, but the slot machine phase is what had me,

That fly on the right in the table grinning with double knives could really use some help.

God, do I love this boss' music!

🐸+🐸=🎰? *HOW!?*

My favorite boss battle YES YES

this level drives me crazy i swear ive played it more than 40 times maybe

Apparently, ribby and croaks are the hardest world 1 boss, that's why many people struggled with the battle on their first time

This is my favorite boss.

I kinda imagine this fourth phase in expert mode where the slot machine would blow up and Ribby (short frog) world just throw random platforms at you

Fun Fact: Originally Cuphead and Mugman would receive a completely custom move set with classic Street Fighter moves like the Fireball and Dragon Punch

😱AAH BARS ON FIRE😱

Thanks

1:09 Reminds of King Boo from Super Mario Sunshine ☀️

I swear, this boss attacks feel WAY faster when you play the boss instead of watching it.

Ribby in Croaks in: "O shit waddup"

"I dont think we're supposed to be trying to kill this guy!"- cried toad as he tried to reason with Frog

Thx

One of my favorite bosses

i think the dev made it clear that GAMBLING IS BAD!

You're good with words, but how are you good with your fists?

How to turn into a slot machine: Step 1: Become a cannibal

ARE THOSE THE BATTLETOADS????

The moment he got to one hp I felt the anxiety all over again

I love the inspiration in these guys, and I love them even more thanks to the Cuphead show. *this comment is unoriginal* *You sayin it's my fault?* *So what if I am*

Ribby and Croaks... The unknown cannibal calamity

Here come dem bois! O SHIT WHADDUP
