To note, explaining what R-Control does requires that some details about the third phase of the Flying Aces boss fight be revealed. As such, players that have not yet reached that part of the battle may want to return to this guide at a later time. Indeed, what follows will delve into spoiler territory and may contain information that will be unwanted by fans that prefer to be surprised by all aspects of Cuphead’s The Delicious Last Course DLC.

What is R-Control in Cuphead
As previously indicated, R-Control is connected to the third phase of the fight against the Flying Aces, in which the player’s orientation changes. More specifically, Cuphead fans will find their characters moving on the vertical axis at several points in the phase, and the way that they are controlled when positioned in this way is determined by R-Control. Here is exactly how the A and B settings impact character movement, and players may need to experiment to find the one that suits them best:
A: Controls remain in standard orientation when the Cuphead character is moving vertically. This means that pressing up will continue to cause the character to aim above their head, pressing down will cause them to crouch, and pressing left and right will cause them to walk along the plane. B: Controls reflect the character’s position when they are moving vertically. When they are on the right-side of the screen, pressing left will cause them to aim above their head, pressing right will cause them to crouch, and pressing up and down will cause them to walk along the plane. And when they are on the left-side of the screen, pressing right will cause them to aim above their head, pressing left will cause them to crouch, and pressing up and down will cause them to walk along the plane.
Players should now have a solid understanding of exactly what R-Control does. While this understanding alone will not trivialize the fight with this difficult boss in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, having more information about how controls work in Doggone Dogfight will certainly not hurt.
Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
