A Cuphead Idea or smth
okay, this idea occured to me yesterday and i really wanna talk about this.
So, we all know that in Cuphead, be it the game or almost any AU really, Cuphead and mugman can revive each other through parrying their souls/ghosts.
But there is another way to revive your teammate in the game, and I never saw any AU use this information!
I am talking about how you can sacrifice one of your HP and revive your mate.
So if you don't know:
I play the game on the PS4, so in my case, if i play Cuphead and my friend dies and I couldn't parry Mugman, my friend can press the "Options" button to revive themselves. This only works when I have more than one HP. (It doesn't work when miss Chalice's HP is 1 but her second super, the heart shield, is activated.
So, now that you know this:
What if Cuphead dies during a battle and mugman revives him from the sidelines every time his brother loses in "single player"? (Or vise versa.) Wouldn't that be a cool thought for an au? The reason why only one brother fights at times and not both once they find out about this?
Of course, using this information and mechanic in any story, there could be many more possibilities and scenarios. Mugman wins in a 2-Player fight with one HP, but his brother died and he couldn't parry Cuphead's soul in time. So, he heals himself up as fast as possible and revives Cuphead/Cuphead revives himself. One could also give this a time limit or something.
Honestly, I am just surprised noone uses this game mechanic in any au or content. It's really fun to revive yourself at the cost of your teammates HP.
(Is it because it's too convenient and would make a story uninteresting? or did noone know about this?)
