Join me as I try to beat Cuphead on expert mode without Shooting, Dashing, or using Ex Moves/Special Arts. Using 2-player mode is also banned unless a fight is literally impossible without it. Also, Divine Relic is banned for this challenge now that the DLC is out, but I will fight the DLC bosses :)

To (hopefully) accomplish this, I'll be using the Whetstone charm which makes Cuphead's first parry double as a damage-dealing move. This, of course, does much less damage than shooting constantly but also requires Cuphead to get close enough to a boss to parry off of them which can be difficult with poor hitbox placement at times. Couple this with bosses that spawn enemies that Cuphead has to deal with and the already difficult bosses to begin with for a tough and surprisingly strategic challenge. We might have to sell our souls to the Devil to get out of this one!
