/mhg/ - Monster Hunter General

So I just went through the Spanish and German translations of weapons and Hunting Arts in the demo.

The Spanish version shows consistent quality, some knowledge of the Japanese original and that they at least put some thought into it when they couldn't find a good translation. Except for "reunión camaradas".

The German version has some moments of relative brilliance and several moments where I went "YOU ARE A FUCKING DISGRACE AS A TRANSLATOR!"
Internally, at least.
Brimstone Slash got downgraded to a Sulfur Slash; the Spinning Meteor slowed down to a merely Turning Meteor; Dragon Blast turned into Dragon Breath; Energy Blade is the regular name of the Charge Blade, so they had to use a synonym; Rapid Fire Rain dropped the Rain altogether; Big Barrel Bombays are big-barrel-bomb-y; and instead of using Palico Rally, prowlers call for a time-out so they can have a drink at their Buddy Get-Together.

The fucking Owl is fucking retarded.
Like seriously.
When they showed it off i was just like "Well if you evade the status effects you'll be fine and it will be easy"

But it's not like the fucking reversed button inputs is just the Owls little gimmick he does every now and then, no HE DOES IT THE ENTIRE FUCKING TIME, and in order to NOT get hit by it at least once you have to play so fucking passively you have to give up 90% of gameplay.

Alright, I'm relatively new to MH games, so I'm looking on Kiranico at the hammer list for X. For example there is an Ice hammer called Pressure Cooker that does only 170 dmg and 50 ele. While there are some physical only ones that do 270 damage, are they just straight up better?

Are those true raw values? I'm guessing not since dividing by 5.2 doesn't give a round number.
If they're not true raw it's way better, if it's just the displayed raw then element might beat the raw hammer in monsters really weak to element.

But overall element is a shitty mechanic and you're better off with pure raw,with the exception of a few monsters with fast weapons.

On Adept CB, does a guard point count toward a perfect guard?

>>147422695
No, but iirc you gain a GP on Adept, that is at the start of the charging A.

>>147423165
Yea I knew that, was just hoping a GP counted towards it.

>>147422695
No. Perfect Guards only occur on R button blocks.

>teams keep being made out of LS, GL, CB

That's okay i didn't need these legs anyway.

>>147423587
What's wrong with CB?

When fighting Narga, if I hit the tail before breaking the spikes and without spikes out, am I maybe "saving" damage done on the spikes? Meaning the spikes could break more easily later, or does it simply not register as damage done to spikes at all?

>>147423803
The axe mode infinite of Upswing > Burst 2, which CB will rely more on because it can't rely on AEDs as often.

>>147423803

The reach of the axe, and the constant horizontal beyblading fucks up other players.

>>147419979
MHgen is literally the frontier team.

Movement speed is slower than 4U, white sharpness is max, no grank content, item usage is slower than 4U (why do they think it is okay for recovery from using a potion to last 300 frames?) and hunter farts.

I'd say true raw values were the only thing they did right in MHgen cause its actually useful information for comparing between weapon types without literally having to fucking use google.

MHX, chargeblade is still all around the best weapons.
>L/GL tier guarding

The tail and the spikes are the same part.
If you focus on the tail, the spikes will break first, before you cut it off.

>>147424991
But it is a jack of all trades

>>147424991
Nice rebuttal

Does adept style for charge blade basically give you guard+2 and guard boost? Also I don't really like the overall changes to it. It feels much easier to use (even regular R is guard point, you guard during B charge sword etc) with less reward.

>>147425169

>>147425256

But it can compete pretty well in the KO and Shield department

Hi /mhg/, two requests.

1) Do any of you have a Gore GQ with Kirin Head bias?

2) Do any of you have a double Seregios GQ, regardless of bias?

Needing a good Kirin head and I hear double Steve is good for graven charm farming.

I'd greatly appreciate it.

>>147425115
Alright thanks, so there is actually a reason to hit the tail when the spikes aren't out.

TGS cannot come any sooner.

Is there an agreed tier list yet on the weapons and styles? From what I've heard so far, it's roughly agreed that..

>GS
>Bow
>HBG
>SnS

are very strong weapons, while everything else trickles off to the back.

I'm loving switchaxe in this game, it synergizes really well with adept (although I feel like adept is the best for most of the weapons).

>>147426019
Didn't expect to see Bows in there honestly, what is it that makes them top-tier?

>>147426102
I think is Adept Bow that is toppest tier

>>147426019
I feel like LS is tied with SnS, if only just below it with its red upkeep being so much easier than 4U. I want to think Switchaxe is a close case also, but I cant quite tell just yet.

>>147426102
Bow's got a lot of modifiers in its attacks while being extremely mobile. If you're able to land consistent power shots and Triple Volleys, it can churn out a ton of damage constantly.

The 2 levels of coatings also means your damage wont fall off so hard when you run out of one power coating type like it would in 4U.

>>147426232
I quietly agree. If it can get the combos off, a striker Saxe can belt out absurd levels of damage. There's also lots of praise of Striker lance/Glance as well.

I quietly think that if you can get your head around it, any adept style would be fantastic. My only gripe with adept is when I counter, sometimes my attack fires away from the monster due to the dodge roll.

>>147425647
yeah I bet MHXG will be totally different

>>147426383
>sometimes my attack fires away from the monster due to the dodge roll
never a problem with switchaxe thanks to the amazingly broad swings after a counter but the hammer almost always whiffs due to the shitty counter attack.

>>147426019
If you want, you could make a tier list out of all the Jap speedrun times on various monsters.

Otherwise it doesn't really matter except for poor GL

So let me get this straight, in MHX there's no upgrade trees for LBGs and HBGs and instead you just craft all the different ones and upgrade them?

>>147427660
That is incorrect.

>>147427826
But that's what people showed in the videos.
You only upgrade the Bowgun you have (making it stronger but not changing it's attributes) and then you can attach barrels, silencer and thats it

How? Its a bit faster and hits a bit harder, but its not that much different. What weapon are you using?

>>147427951
You upgrade the Bowgun you have, then you upgrade it into a different bowgun or max it out, just like the other weapons.

>>147428650
I'm already using the Low Rank Narga Set though, I wanted to upgrade into High Rank since that one gives Evasion +1.

>>147428572
Get Evasion+1 at most (you can i-frame most of its stuff without it, but E+1 makes it a trivial fight).

Hack away at its hindlegs. Only go for the head when there's a large opening. If its going to lunge at you, roll away in the direction it'll approach if you far enough, or if you're too close, try to roll into its body at an angle.

If it sits for a second or two longer when it takes a stance, its going to do multiple lunges (and often its big pounce once enraged), so be mindful of that.

Also, dont be afraid to stop attacking and roll twice or roll+move if its about to tail slam. Its other spinning tail attack is easily dodgeable without E+1 with practice.

tldr: Practice till it doesn't kill you anymore.

be in critical range when you shoot things
you'll know if you're in critical range because your screen will shake when the bullets connect with their target

different bullets have different critical ranges, pellet being the closest and pierce being the farthest away

I can't wait to stay up all night being a useless piece of shit hunting with /vg/ again

>>147436542
Well, I do need basics, but Bowgun-specific ones. Bushido and critical ranges are the same for Bows.

What I need is stuff like proper aiming technique, assuming it should be possible to aim without using R, ammo management and Bushido-specific strategy.

>>147437945
ok well aiming is possible without R but if their weakspot is above ground level you're obviously gonna want to aim manually to hit that shit

for anything ground level like narga or certain size raths while they're on the ground you can get away without manually aiming, you should already be able to do this if you play bow, I personally never use the 3rd person crosshair aiming

as for ammo? with hbg you'll probably want to start off with something that fires a good amount of normal 2 since that is your bread and butter as it does good damage and has a very flexible critical range.
lbgs have shorter critical ranges and rely on rapidfire to make up their damage, so you'll probably need to make a bowgun for each element otherwise you'll be wishing you had just brought a hbg instead. you'll already be familar with bringing combines for coatings so just do that for the ammo you plan on using on a hunt in place of shrooms and phials

bushido HBG lets you bushido dodge into siege and dodge out of it, letting you sit in siege mode a lot. specific opportunities differ between monsters so I'd recommend looking up a video guide for hbg fights in X as it's easier to see than trying to explain it

For example in Tri-4U You could upgrade from basic "trunk" like bone or Iron to other branches like jaggi or peco or from a standard monster's weapons into subspecies weapons. In some cases you could upgrade all the way from a rare 1 metal path all the way to a rare 10 elder dragon weapon.

IG doesn't suck early on. The final upgrade just makes the buffs last longer so you don't have to shoot the bug as often. It's a quality of life upgrade like the other anon said. The problem is the upgrades paths to that bug are Power and Stamina, which are not the stats you want early on. You want to invest in Speed or the kinsect will move as slow as a slug. This means the best kinsect for the early game won't upgrade to the best kinsect for the late game. This isn't an issue if you don't mind making another IG for the endgame, which you probably will do anyway.

Maybe Capcom should make the shitty gen 1 and 2 monsters do more than charge, tailspin, charge again to reflect map changes. But that'll never happen.

>>147446015
Two lame weapons you mean, the entire bug gimmick of the IG is poorly implemented and there's no reason to not grab bilbotrix/ladytower and use the weapon like a fast LS. They brought no useful utility at all outside of gimmick builds with an impact piercing bug for a KO or two.
CB was just an uncreative hybrid of several weapons with the stupid explosions to please retards, ironically those are nothing now after styles and HAs.
As far as I remember only the GS got a noticeable and necessary improvement compared to 3rd gen with a longer charged combo and starting them from rolls, let's not even talk about how hammer, GL, LS and a few others were made worse.
>great monsters
There's like 4 good new monsters, and let's not forget the poorly adapted 1st gen monsters they brought. After the great porting from 3rd gen that's just insulting.
>verticality
Horrible feature that only deteriorated the game, only good thing it brought was mounting which made breaking some hard to reach places easier in single player and gave breathers to the team in multiplayer.

>>147452515
It's obvious they only consider the first entry into the generation to be mainline.

Why you guys dont like x?
it looks like they made combat and the grind ten times better. and that they made combat actually fun with those skills and special attacks, I don't see the problem.
I kinda didnt like going through 6 of my friends grinding for fucking gems and fucking 30 bugs over and over.
I hear they got rid of item drops or some shit.
how does it actually work.

did they rotate the monsters again in x? is there more or less monsters?

Faggots just like to shit on the newest game for no reason, before it was MH4U, now it's MHGen and next will be MH5, don't listen to them, they're a very vocal minority, when the game come out everyone will be playing it.

Also, about the monsters, there are more monsters but less variants, so there's more variety.

I'm assuming it will be on the NX, it only makes sense fampai. And from the rumors about the NX there will probably be a cross platform handheld version

they're all high tier in mhg

I think a lot of people will be using sns though

>>147454762
sns isnt flashy enough and it isn't as easy to use as ls or sa for shitters

>>147454641
>hammer
>literally bad sns

I was a hammer bro in 4u but there's no denying how lackluster it is in gen. The provoke art is pretty good though

>>147454319
As a button masher I would love this.

>>147454940
striker sns will be the go to weapon for tryhards

>>147455026
>litterally bad sns
What do you mean? Comparing Hammer and sns seems to be like comparing apples and watermelons to me.

>>147454940

>SnS
>not easy to use

How is SnS not easy to use?

>>147453360
Pretty sure you could do that in dos but they took it out because balancing fashion and function was an important part of the game.

Tonfas.

you mean funhavers? I've waited a long time for sns to have some time in the spotlight and I'm going to enjoy it

>>147455421
sns gets the fastest ko times in the game

>>147453942
>you're going to play the game anyway
already pirated X, it would be stupid to bash on a game without playing it
>but its the best game in the series
lol

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, Player2.

Like hammer it's easy to use, hard to master.
People hardly seem to utilize the full potential of a SnS.

>pokemon
Don't be a faggot.

>>147455464
this, sns is pretty easy already, with roundforce and evade its literally impossible to fuck up with
>>147455560
using meme weapons isnt fun senpai

>>147455952
let me know how your gunlance play goes while I enjoy the weapon liked most since the ps2 is finally actually higher tier than "useable"

>>147455792
dont bother explaning anon, its easier to detect ig users that way

>>147455681
That doesnt make the weapon similar. Besides, hammering isnt about KO anymore now that 2 other weapons KO better. Its about the feeling you get when you smash a monster to death with a big heavy high motion value weapon.

>Its about the feeling you get when you smash a monster to death with a big heavy high motion value weapon

you'll have plenty of time to do that when I knock out a monster with my superior ko oil

I heard something that you can hit monsters that are mounted and not knock off the teammate in MHG, is that true?

>>147456494
Hits on mounted monsters contribute to the gauge.

>>147454549
No the future of MH monster AI is to saturate them with as much moves as possible so that people will be tricked to thinking the AI is good when in reality it's just shuffling it's move deck and dishing out attacks on random while you have to react.

So how good with Lance be in mhgen. It never gets mentioned but it seems decent in the demo

>>147456494
Yes
However it doesn't do any actual damage, only helps fill in the mount bar faster so if you have limited ammo or need to sharpen or something then you're still probably better off not attacking.

>>147456494
probably, considering mounting requires more damage than it did in 4u

>>147456660
its top tier in gen

there's no g-rank in MHG?

So it just stops at high rank??

>>147456660
About as good as CB.

>>147456902
Yeah, though I heard the upper levels of high rank are still pretty much g-rank level.

>>147456902
variant monsters :^)

>>147456902
MHXG comes out end of the year in Japan.

>>147456395
Fine by me. I'll still be having just as much fun.

>>147427951
maybe you were looking at a deviant weapon, which have only the one upgrade tree on its own and never changes form but gets stronger

>>147456395
It's time to oil up.

>>147437540
i want to see a cutscene of a hunter calmly zooming across the sand at high boat-like speeds while standing completely still

>>147456660

Striker lance is really good.

Switches out the slow third poke, increases run-charge stab damage, and incredible hunter arts.
You also lose the swipe but you don't need it.
