If you're not an experienced Cuphead speedrunner I recommend checking out my Beginner/Intermediate Tutorial first! It can be found here - https://youtu.be/AV1DOVWb8YI
This tutorial has been a long time coming as there has been many new strategies since my last advanced tutorial from several years ago. This ended up being a ton more work than I thought it would be but I am really glad to finally put this out as a fully updated guide for the existing Cuphead speedrunning community and all future players that might join so you all can use this as a resource to assist in working up to getting awesome Cuphead times!
