Jun 24, 2011 at 14:16 comment added Jie Wang Dear S$\acute{a}$ndor, Thank you very much for your input. I am sorry I did not say it clearly that I only need the cuspidal curves on some K3 surface. Chen's results is for a general K3, so I am hoping one could just construct some special K3 explicitly to do the job. When $g=8$, one can always get a 2-cuspidal section passing through two general point of $S$, because for each point, it is 3 conditions on $(\mathbb{P}^8)^{\lor}$ to get a node (i.e $H$ should contain $T_pS$) and one more conditions to get a cusp, so one can always find a 2-cusp. I will try your degeneration argument.

Jun 24, 2011 at 5:04 comment added Jim Bryan I think the paper you cite is majorized by Xi Chen's more recent paper: arxiv.org/abs/math/0011190
