It'll still be balanced just as long as they remove that stupid charge from Striker, and make the triple hit only consume one point of stamina.

Long Sword is seemingly straightforward with fair reach and speed, but you got things like the Fade Slash to reposition, the spirit meter, and aura upkeep to keep in mind.

If you're playing 4U, try playing around with other weapons in their respective tutorials if you're not overly keen on it.

>>167222227
Sounds good, I will give them a shot.

Hows the 4U community here? Still active or should I just solo this one and pick up the newest game ASAP.

How are Bows, really? I've never played range, always been a GS/LS/Hammer person, but I keep getting a bunch of high-damage bows with decent elemental effects.
>>
>>167225921
For the past two games, there's a single bow that simply shits on the rest. They can kill shit well, but it leads me to thinking that there's something wrong with how the weapon is designed. That and there's little reason to bother with arc shots.

Arc shots were useful in 3rd gen, if only because element actually meant something on bows in those games.

Valfark's IG doesn't look very good to be honest, It really shows XX shoestring budget, but I guess there's only so much stuff you can cram in a 3DS game without making concessions to it actually work.

It just has a weird shape (since it's basically just one of Valfalk's extending wing spikes turned into a weapon) but it has some neat details like how the center of it lights up depending on the extracts you have which is visible through the gaps.

Those animations aren't of unusual quality. Most of the animations are better than mainline, or are literally mainline animations except you can actually see them because it's on a screen larger than 240p. Dunno what you mean by "game structure," but it's fundamentally just a Monster Hunter game. The only differences that stand out to me are ultimates and unlockable moves (which Gen also has), zenny scarcity (which Gen also has) and being even grindier than mainline (which I'll admit is shit but it doesn't seem like something that the sort of people bitching about MHO would mind; basically weapons require more parts to upgrade and armour more parts to make than mainline but the RNG is the same bitch ass mother fucker it is in mainline).

I mean I guess you could make a pretty weak argument about damage numbers, but if you don't have those you just look up MVs anyway and once you learn the relative strength of your attacks you can turn them off and still use blood splats to gauge hitzones.

The animations on the hunters would be fine but they use the cheapest visual effects on them and have this persistent need to use all the weirdest, most unfitting sound cues for everything in the game, including shit that already exists, where mainline and Frontier nailed that part.

I've finally figured out what's wrong with MHO's animations. They lack weight. Monoblos is the most obvious one. He fucking goes 0 to 100 to 0 during his charges and head thrusts while doing super sharp turns. Not to mention the janky ass mouse camera. It might be fine and fun to play with mouse but it seems more like the mmo vindictus in terms of animation and gameplay.

Kutku is another one. I can see regular kutku struggling to get enough air forced away to do such a huge jump.

It really does seem like a beat em up sorta game.

If you need to git gud with gs you're hopeless desu. Most babies are born gud with gs. All it requires is a very vague sense of rhythm and that's just to play it optimally.

Finally rathian in mho has a really commendable spin. Something that all gen 1s need fixed but I'd rather keep it that way because of how iconic it is when it comes to gameplay. However that running fireball. Something feels off. Well it feels dreadqueen kinda off. Can't put my thumb on it but ugh.
>>167234091
Yeah I can understand blos doing the stupid instant turn charge but damn that blos has no chill. Even regular white monoblos has this cool slide animation as it decelerates from a charge. That thing in mho just instantly stops it's charge and goes straight into a horn attack.

Probably brave for most weapons, and if they don't get nerfed still adept bow and DB and striker lance and sns. Unless brave is all looks and no MVs of course.

>when you play with a pellet gunner so bad that dcing and blacklisting them isn't enough, you have to wait til you're back in the hall to tell them how trash they are
I narrowly saved the guy from being killed by dreadqueen's poison three times with all three of my lifepowders and he repaid me by constantly stunlocking me and the gs with fucking rapid pellet s, nearly getting me killed once and getting the gs killed once. At least normal pellet gunners don't nearly cart three times a hunt. Jesus christ I'm mad. And he was posting dreadqueen v, meaning he got carried through 1-4 too. Honestly I SHOULD have just DCed, to avoid carrying him further.
>>
>>167236237
Why didn't you just fail the quest then if you don't want to carry him
>>
>>167236361
I'd lose my credibility telling him he's the worst player I've ever seen. What I actually should have done, now that I've taken a minute to think about it, is decline to lifepowder him, but it's just my instinct to jam a lifepowder when I'm playing sns and see someone about to die.
>>
>>167234947
>SnS
Striker: Brave doesn't add anything noteworthy, in fact its animations seem like the definition of style over substance
>DB
Adept: Doesn't seem like Brave's additions can top the adept dodge into demon dashes cheese
>GS
Guild: GS is the weapon that most heavily relies on sheathing, so a style that impedes sheathing speed is counter to the weapon's gameplan
>LS
Brave: A counter, a mobility option, and the Adept upslash in the spirit slash chain? The style's additions have been among the best for LS.
>Hammer
Guild: Unless I'm misinterpreting how the style works, Brave is actually quite clunky on Hammer.
>HH
Hard to tell. Brave just handles really differently to the horn's usual moveset. I'll err to the side of caution and say Guild, there's nothing Brave added that seemed to add some amazing new utility.
>Lance
Striker: Can someone who actually mains Lance explain to me what Brave adds? It looks so underwhelming.
>GL
Brave: Guard point on reload, rapid fire shelling, mid combo multi-reload baby.
>SA
Striker: One art on Brave, so auto-shit for this. Will be funny if SP is actually big enough that Alchemy is the best SA style.
>CB
Brave: GP on a dash, shield thrust, quick easy AEDs
>IG
Guild: Unless the bug nibbling at the opponent is actually some amazing extra DPS, I'm gonna say Guild is still best.
>LBG
Striker: So Brave adds an awkward triple sidestep shot that seems impossible to aim and just a waste of time. Pass.
>HBG
Brave: Fucking MOBILITY. Rolling out of siege, sprinting out of roll, sieging out of sprint, and that fucking accelerating RoF on the siege. This shit is as good as the LS additions, if not better.
>Bow
Adept: The triple shot Brave gets roots you in place for much too long to seem useful, and nothing else about the style stands out.
>>
>>167236237
After nearly 300 hours in Gen, I've yet to ever cross paths with a pellet gunner at all. You've met them frequently enough that you have an impression of what a "normal pellet gunner" is like?

Shit, I'm a gunner myself, and I've never seen what could possibly make pellet useful over normal or pierce. Far as I'm aware it's strictly a griefing tactic with Aerial.
>>
>>167237973
The pellet gunners of legend are far and few between I think. And admittedly the monsters that used to be hyper weak to pellet (Diablos and Kirrin off the top of my head) lost their pellet magnets and made it lackluster to use all around, so you won't see people who know what they are doing use it seriously either.

But every now and then, you get someone who knows exactly what they are doing by using a rapid pellet LBG.
And that is fucking with everyone in your group.

Between friends I find it pretty fun when you have 4-way rapid pellet fights while also killing the monster. Using it with randoms is a recipe for disaster.
>>
What if Adept style took away your panic dive
>>
>>167239107
It would literally do nothing at all. An Adept dodge is better than a superman dive, and the weapons that best use Adept never sheathe anyway.
>>
>>167237705
>Guild: GS is the weapon that most heavily relies on sheathing, so a style that impedes sheathing speed is counter to the weapon's gameplan
Doesn't brave GS get lance sidesteps or some shit? Depending on the MVs brave might be more valuable than crit draw.

>>
>>167240106
In 3U it was supposedly decent because a lot of monsters are quite weak to poison, though the amount of poison on the Gigginox Lance is fucking overkill

In other games either the matching element, blast, or another status is is used, still handy for casually going against Kushala though
>>
>>167240262
Thanks, so in MH4U going to Rampart would be a better idea? I made a bone spear but didn't really like it.
>>
>>167240369
You're still quite early in the game. Coming off from Knight Lance+, Rampart does have some green sharpness, and Venom Lance is still on yellow, which means you'd be under the penalties of the low sharpness modifier.

On the other hand, poison damage does a static amount when you first build it up, and Lance can use status fairly well. Quite literally the only alternative in this game is the Yian Garuga Lance. Do look into some elemental Lances and other status, though.

You'll want a water Lance to handle Gravios with.

>>167242469
Because sharpness is effectively your biggest damage modifier because it's a multiplier. Even +10% damage can be huge by Monster Hunter standards.

Relics are a bit funny, the weapons are primarily sought after in the endgame since they can potentially outclass crafted weapons, but before that you can still get some that are better than your craftable options at certain points in the game. Never bothered with it much though, but they're there.
>>
>>167242816
The odds of finding better relics than crafted before endgame really makes the search not worth it. Just going with crafted weapons until you hit crown G is the sane choice, and I don't think I've known of anyone in the general who bothered with it more than you did.

One of the two new styles in XX.
>>
>>167245505
counter moves with unlimited parry window that slowly drains your health or something.

More casual shit like "adept" style.
>>
>>
>>167245794
The only counter Brave adds is the first attack in the spirit slash chain when powered up.

>>167245505
New style in XX. You get a dramatically slower sheathing animation that can be held, drains health and stamina, and during which if you are hit you're going to incur only 30% of the damage and backstep out of the way.
The main draw of the style is that it has a meter that gets filled up by attacking or being hit during sheathing, and when it fills up you will enter "Brave Mode" and recieve a dramatically enhanced moveset that emphasizes mobility.

Is there a website that has time attack records for each weapon in mhg?

>>
>>167248598
That's already a given. Styles are mostly meant to be suboptimal.
>>
>>167248598
It still beats getting one shot. It's not a counter anyway, just a safety option. So just play normally while using as many brave attacks as possible, but if you're caught out of position, you can survive using the brave "evade".
>>
>>167249165
Hellblade, like almost every other wep
>>
>>167249445
Dunno, sounds like it's prioritised as the best way to enter bravemode. Using it like GS or SnS's block sounds reasonable though, although SnS's is better than people seem to realise.
>>
>>167250073
The brave evade adds a bit to the gauge, but not as much as actually attacking.
Besides, unless you're constantly getting hit, occasionally tanking through an attack with brave so you can play more aggressively isn't a problem.
When the demo comes out on the 15th we'll know which styles are worth using and which aren't anyway.
>>
Do i use Guard+ on GL or is it better to just focus on offensive skills?
>>
>>167250261
Pretty sure evasion is still vastly better than guarding on GL. It's generally better on lance too but at least guard lance has a counter to keep it attacking.

The frames needed for a table hopper are next to none and adept has more frames than fucking dark souls

>>
>>167254080
he was talking about that guy who said adept is for DMC fags. It really isnt
>>
>>167253034
e+2 has more frames than dark souls as well, a fastroll in dark souls 1 has about the same duration of invincibility as e+1 (and an optimised build with softcapped iframes in dark souls 2, where iframes are skill dependent rather than weight dependent, has the same as e+2).

I'd say "I don't know where this misconception about dark souls having more iframes comes from" but I do, most enemies in dark souls have much better hitboxes that linger less (and, to be fair, having very little equipment load is similar to having evade extender in MH), plus the iframes start up slightly earlier in the animation, so it's a lot easier to dodge shit with the same number of iframes. Even with a slowroll, which gets two more iframes than no e+ and two less than e+1 and slightly less roll distance than MH rolls have, you can iframe almost everything in dark souls much more easily than in MH.

A fun thing to do (if you're gud enough to iframe in the first place) is to test what I just said by rolling forward through kut ku's fireballs (as a pretty good example that's easy to iframe) with no e+ and see what happens! spoilers, what happens is you clearly pass all the way through the fireball before getting dragged after it because of the lingering hitbox
>>
>>167255336
okay, but the point was adept encourages reactive play, do you have anything to say about that? Or are you saying that e+2 does the same thing, because I could agree with that but I'd still think adept did it more so because you can't immediately attack afterwards.

Out of the weapons I can see

SnS - Alchemy, Striker, or Guild because they all have access to more than 1 HA

DB - Striker and Adept will still be the best for it

GS - Guild, Brave makes charging too clumsy to be worth it

LS - Brave, has access to a lance style-counter and the superior Spirit roundhouse animation.

Hammer - Guild but Brave will be second place instead of Adept

HH - Alchemy and Guild unless if Brave recitals have proper motion values and Alchemy is basically just guild in terms of moveset anyway

Lance - Striker, SP only buffs them

GL - Brave, blocking while reloading, having full control over their shelling and a Wyvernfire that can be cancelled early will do nothing but make the gauge an actual buff for it

SA - Striker because SA is cancer

CB - Brave or Striker since CB only has room for improvement

IG - Aerial and Guild, Brave and alchemy do nothing for it

LBG - Adept, LBG got shafted hard for a brave gimmick

HBG - Adept for pierce, Brave for Normal

Bow - Adept, directional backhops do not save brave

Prowler - Adept, Support cats will be the strongest type since Beast Prowler look like complete shit

I know that feel, anon. I was hundreds hours deep into 3U endgame before realizing you could R charge after a golfswing. I shudder thinking of the cumulative wasted time.
>>
>>167260357
Well on the plus side a missed high does 0 dps, straight usually hits more
>>
>>167258331
Striker is guaranteed to be the only relevant CB style forever because its shield charge has 5% higher damage than every other style's, and Brave CB can't even charge the shield normally.
And Striker Lance's position entirely depends on whether they nerf the charge, if they do, Adept and possibly Brave will take over
>>
>>167258331
Striker LBG is much better than adept since you can cancel the recoil animation with absolute evasions.
Aerial IG is overrated.
Alchemy anything but weapons with 3 arts is shit, otherwise it MIGHT be good. Don't get your hopes up, it's the shitterbait thing again.
>>
>>167260357
It's more about what can hit, and more importantly what hits the part you're aiming for; The difference isn't THAT huge. Also straight moves you forward slightly and has higher reach, so I frequently do a straight (or two if necessary) to hit confirm and then follow it up with one or two highs or a counter. Like most other weapons, there is a way to get optimal damage assuming your target is stationary and its weakpoint can be hit consistently with that combo, but that doesn't mean it's the best combo to use at all times.

For further info on top tier lancing watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZk5JkkNnG4
this is the top record-holding lance TA of shagaru 140 that has a video of the run up (afaik). You'll note they use everything in the lance's moveset at different points, and both guard and evade lance (with knowledge of what they can counter without g+). They even use the sweep to catch the monster on the nose when it moves out of their combo, which shitters will tell you is an attack you only use on quests to clear out small monsters.
>>
>>167262208
No, the sweep is fantastic, it gives Super-Armour too
>>
>>167261159
>Striker is guaranteed to be the only relevant CB style forever
Losing the shield bash makes it a lot less versatile when it comes to comboing on sword mode, and the phial damage you get from those attacks can help when trying to stun monsters. Adept is by far the best one.
>>
shut it
all of you
you'll fap on best styles when you get the final game with all the ("new")arts, mv sheets and movesets
>>
>>167262376
Versatility doesn't matter, only numbers do. Your weapon only really needs to do one thing. And Striker has the highest numbers.
You don't want to be in sword mode for anything other than charging phials anyway, once your phials are full you want to be in axe mode as much as possible to snipe with AEDs.
Adept and Brave also can't use double absolute evasions so they're trash.
>>
>>167262279
The sweep when you turn around after a charge is great for a number of things too. My favourite, which isn't so much a reliable function or something actually wise to do as something that looks really fucking cool when it works, is charging down another player who is locked in an animation and about to get hit (so they get iframes from being launched) then turning around and dunking a charging or swooping monster that was coming for them with a head stagger. In that TA you can see them use it to reorient themselves relative to the monster so when they backstep the frenzy blasts they won't move away from the monster, as well.

>Crit Status is always bad
Even when it's just a flat 20% bonus because SnS can easily hit 100% affinity?

>>167263703
Lance wasn't the hottest in 4U across the board. It's just an exceptionally good matchup for Shagaru, even then its time doesn't compare to the titans that are GS and IG. I also enjoy HH, though I've been playing HH less recently in favour of hammer because with HH I feel both a pressure to play online and like I have to rely on my team being good to not get shitty times even if I hit the monster the whole time.

The only weapons I generally don't enjoy are GS, SA and GL though.

>>167263806
It's what equipment you get if you mine up relics on the expedition. Expedition relics are trash, I think even if you're just getting temporary relics pre-g-rank you want the ones from guild quests. IIRC it doesn't affect the biases of the GQs you get from the expedition either so it's basically irrelevant.

The thing is that it's a 20% bonus on the times when status does proc, and a 20% bonus on status isn't that big of a deal. KO King and straight up Status Atk +2 are considered a waste of points and they don't even need any other conditions be met to be active. The benefit of boosting status is it'll pop more often, but the thing is the difference will be minimal enough that on early activation it's indistinguishable and the monster will usually die before you are able to apply it more than twice. You'd rather just put damage skills in and the monster will die quicker from the same amount of status inflictions.

mhg help me decide what I will main in 3U
So far I've played a lot of IG, DB, SnS, prowler, LBG, SA and Lance. I've played a tiny bit of LS, GS, HBG and HH as well.
>>
>>167268597
LS, GL and Lance are pretty good options because they don't suffer too much underwater.
>>
>>167268597
Play HH. It's arguably the best it's been in 3U, so if you have to use it eventually it might as well be there.

HBG is fun and absolutely destroys everything underwater, but HBG is the best in practically every game anyway. Better to try it in FU where you can bask in the glory of Autoreload.

If you don't have any more tranqs in the supply box and it's a capture mission, then you are out of luck.

A monster being tired is not the same as a monster limping. It'll only ever take 2 tranq bombs to capture a monster once it's in a trap when it's capture ready.

ig got a somewhat small nerf to its mv's. the kinsects got a weird shakeup. the effect extender one got 'nerfed' - the extract time got cut but in exchange it buffs the entire party with 5 attack, 5 defense and 10% affinity as well as heal everyone depending on the extract collected. all igs in the party will also gain the extracts you collect. there's also the speed 1 bug which grants a massive 30% affinity to yourself for collecting white extract

gs got a small nerf to its mvs

sa got a small nerf to its sword mvs but that became irrelevant thanks to demon riot which has got to be one of the dumbest ha's in the game

I really like IG in 4U but those changes sound a bit weird, do the GS nerfs matter all that much with how powerful it is already?
>>
>>167313782
there's a case to be made for the extender bug in multi play since you only lose 20% affinity compared to the speed 1 bug in exchange for buffing your whole party and getting 30s extra triple up time

generally the only real difference from 4u is you have to collect extracts more often and you can use the extract hunter ha to mitigate this

gs nerfs don't really matter, it's more about the buffs in gen, that's why duals and lance are in such good spots right now

SnS was given oils and excellent arts to play with.
Hammer is back in the upper half of weapon balance and has one of the few fun, non-spammy aerial styles.
The bowguns got internal ammo, a super varied selection of free ammo that is very fun and is good damage if you know how to use it. Careful though, their first person mode got fucked and your shots no longer align with the center of your reticle.

How/Why did they fuck this up? Is bow the same way in its aim mode?
>>
>>167316975
In past games, the PoV was the barrel of the gun, while in this game it's the hunter's eyes. This means that your shots originate below your PoV and move upward to meet the center of your reticle, so it'll be under it at short distances and go over it at long distances. You'll often find your shots miss the mark that was dead on your reticle or even collide with one of the many ledges despite your reticle being cleanly above it.
Why? No other reason than to make gunning feel much clunkier. Bow has no first person mode, so this doesn't happen to it.

Actually trying to come up with a way to make skills work in D&D (yes I know) and I thought of something similar to how spell charges work. Like you have a set amount of points for your level, and with that you can "buy" skills from different category, Offense, Defense and Utility.
It will also put an emphasis on miniatures so there's no confusion about your position.

>>167320664

>>167320408

>>167320737
>how spell charges work
To expand on that, how spell charges recharge after a day and how you gain more the more you level up. You could gain skill points and gain better skills overtime, like AuS slowly working its way up to AuXL and stuff like that.
In D&D terms, you could select your feats using a point pool each day.

>it buffs the entire party with 5 attack, 5 defense and 10% affinity as well as heal everyone depending on the extract collected
It only buffs other IGs, it only heals everyone else.

Also the MV cut is HUGE. It still has the sped up attacks with red buff but iirc the MVs are the same as they were UNBUFFED in 4U.

On the other hand the affinity bug extends just red+white and also gives you 30% (iirc) affinity, plus it's the go-to bug for kinsect only I'm pretty sure, so you really only ever need to make one type of bug if you don't care about bug aesthetics.

IG did get a nerf but a weird one (just as you make it sound) where it also got some buffs, but mainly it dropped several ranks because other weapons got buffed more. That's the bottom line for several weapons really.

And then SnS is a weird case where at first it dominated TAs and it appears to have been buffed the most of any weapon but ultimately it dropped to like #10, whereas it sat pretty at #5-6 for most of 4U's lifespan.

>>167320891

>>
>>167320815
He made a very big mistake healing as the monster was turning for its next attack, I usually use the second it sets its direction to heal as it wont be able to hit me at that point. I never saw these people play but he did actually have a chance to avoid death and got too greedy with his heals

I dont even know why you'd heal all the way to max most of the time unless you have peak performance or have shit armor

Maybe I remembered wrong. Does it give other IGs the extract itself?

I'm assuming he's the GM in that case. No GM no game. That gives him the authority to try out new systems, preferably ones that are actually suited for what he wants to do.

Honestly in endgame MH I usually don't even bother bringing healing items because I can never find an opportunity to use them
Most monsters don't need to slowly turn around to attack you anymore like they used to, or they're fast enough that even if you heal while they're in the middle of a whiffed attack, they can hit you with the next one before you can move again.

Ive noticed how higher level monsters still hit me when I get done healing, even if I'm on the other side of the map they always ALWAYS turn to charge at me as if capcom is personally trying to punish me for healing in a combat zone. It's less terrible with huge monsters but regular large mons love to zip around and make things unbearable for me

Doesnt excuse that guy's squandering of the huge window to move so he didnt become a complete fucking detriment

>>167320815

>>167321673
Speed eating +2 should be considered a mandatory skill if you're someone who ever gets hit and esurient z is the de facto best set for most weapons in MH4U. :^) Beyond that almost every monster, even at 140, has an attack or pattern that gives you ample opportunity to heal or even sharpen, especially if you have a shield to block a roar with or HGE (as this is usually a roar). He had a buffed CB shield, there was actually no reason for him not to block any incoming attack until he had a genuine opportunity to heal.

That said 140 movement speeds and aggression (I'm assuming that's a 140 tigrex from how it's behaving and how much damage it's dealing) are really fucked. Pretty sure he would have been safe with a normal tigrex in that pattern.

Everyone gets hit in modern MH, even speedrunners.
>>
>>167322071
Most utility skills are, yes.

>>167322071
Yeah. I'd personally take bombardier, mushromancer (if it's not 4U you're talking about, mushromancer is for dash juices but in 4U those are extremely common because every vile frenzy crystal can be turned into an extract) or speed sharpener over it if you've just got five spare slots though. But everyone has their own taste in 5 slotters.
>>
>>167322212
Bombardier is shit unless you bomb a lot
Dash Juice is garbage compared to Mega and Mega are much easier to obtain in Gen
Divine Blessing, Speed Sharpening and situational skills are all much better.
>>
>>167321938
I don't really get what people are talking about when they say "patterns". It's not like monsters just go through the same moves in the same order. There are some attacks that are always followed by a certain move, but that's about it. In older MH you could tell what a monster was going to do by things like turning speed, but they got rid of that, so.

>>167322286
>Bombardier is shit unless you bomb a lot
If you don't bomb a lot (especially in the game where every weapon can do stylish bombing) you're probably a scrub fyi. But also on a blast weapon it's just a damage skill. Blast isn't a normal status, stop thinking of it as one. It builds up much faster, tapers off less severely and procs more often against most monsters, a boost to blast is going to result in several more/faster procs per hunt.

>Mega are much easier to obtain in Gen
How so? Megas are the ones you make from extracts btw, the ones that it's almost impossible to run out of in 4U even if you main DB and have 100% dash juice uptime just because so many monsters give viles. The only ways I can find to farm those in gen are literally RNG farming ludroth and gypceros and sending meownster hunters out to hunt gypceros if you are lucky enough to have one appear and bringing back like one dash juice, maybe. With mushromancer mopeshrooms, which stack to 10, act as normal dash juices, and you can just directly multiply those, taking up only one trade slot. If you seriously have a better way to farm megas in Gen I'm happy to hear it, especially if, as you say, they're even easier to obtain than in 4U (where they were basically free and infinite).
>>
>>167322317
>There are some attacks that are always followed by a certain move
That's what we mean when we say "patterns." There's also a sort of flow chart (afaik) where some moves can't follow others, so for instance one of two moves might always follow a third. The reason "spastic" monsters like garuga and stygian zinogre seem spastic is that they have less predictable patterns overall (for instance garuga can do pretty much any number from 1 to a brazilian tail swipes in a row, and then suddenly cancel into a beak slam or rathian roar->windpress->aerial tailswipe or just a roar into peck). But even those have a few patterns where you can predict what they're going to do way ahead of time, which is why "MOM GET THE CAMERA" moments like this are possible.

>>167322774
low rank gypceros gives you a stack of 2, high rank gives a stack of 4 in meownster hunters, send out capture cats and you can stack up on extracts easy
>>
>>167322697
No, but high rank Gypeceros with 4 support cats can potentially yield 8 stacks of 4 dash extract.
>>167322712
get mud/snow if it procs a lot
>>167322774
It's shit because you're starved for skills and the damage is negligible considering you have 5 slots, if you have five free slots it means your set already has low offense, it's pointless to add bombardier to that because if you remade your set from scratch you wouldn't need "more damage", also Felyne Pyro.

MDJ= Dash Extract (8*4 max per Meownster Hunter) + Well Done Steak (8 minimum from the cook)
Dash Juice needs Rare Steak which you have to cook by hand.

It mostly means a monster locking itself in an animation an giving you free time.
There are very few instances of a monster canceling an animation into an other attack, Garuga does the fuck it wants, and shagaru cancelling stuff into the bodyslam comes to mind.
>>
>>167322943
>It's shit because you're starved for skills and the damage is negligible considering you have 5 slots, if you have five free slots it means your set already has low offense
We're talking about a hypothetical where for whatever reason you have five slots and nothing else to do with them (which, yes, is much more likely to happen in a G rank game where getting 4 skills on 1 set isn't what you aim for). Damage is damage and the damage from bombardier is likely to be more than from 5 more points of attack, depending on the base blast of your weapon (and whether you bomb).

>also Felyne Pyro
stacks with bombardier

>Dash Juice needs Rare Steak which you have to cook by hand.
Are you literally retarded? With mushromancer mopeshrooms ARE dash juice, that's the whole point. You don't need rare steaks for mopeshrooms.
>>
>>167323065
>There are very few instances of a monster canceling an animation into an other attack
Brachydios is designed entirely around it.
>>
>>167323105
We're talking about Gen, if you have 5 slots any situational skill like Mud/Tremor is going to make you do much more damage than a 10% increased to blast, I can't believe you're still using Bombardier for Blast weapon when that shit has been debunked since fucking 3U.
>Nothing else to do
Besides gemming in skills that allow you to attack much more, sharpen much faster or fucking divine blessing? TrueShot if you gun.
No it's not likely to be more damage than half AuS, 5 Raw is much more than 4 blast if we suppose you're using a weapon with 40 blast, which barely exists in Gen. Blast tolerance builds up.

Doesn't matter, it replaces it because it's free, you only stack them if you sleep bomb.

Are you stupid? Dash Juice are the shortest AND last shorter on DB, it's like running Might Pill instead of Might Seed, you're fucked all the time because it runs out and you waste half the hunt eating them.
>>
>>167323250
Brach cancels into sidesteps and shit rather than other attacks for the most part, so it's not nearly as bad as some other examples. Rusty kush is the same way but is more aggressively obnoxious with it, I feel like you almost have to gotcha it or be a gunner with great aim to hit its snout to hit it at all. (or just 4 player gangbang it of course)

>Are you stupid? Dash Juice are the shortest AND last shorter on DB, it's like running Might Pill instead of Might Seed, you're fucked all the time because it runs out and you waste half the hunt eating them.
Do you even play DB? The only time dash juice is actually a significant help is when you let your daemon gauge run out or at the beginning of the hunt. It's easy to maintain with an occasional daemon mode spin2win, especially in gen, and you can daemon dance infinitely with no stamina if you have an opening large enough to stand in place doing it repeatedly, barely losing dps from having to go back into daemon mode between each one. The weapon that actually benefits most from dash juice is bow. The reason I initially used DB as an example is that it runs dash juices out faster, and that in 4U it was technically possible to have 100% uptime on DBs and never run out unless you were specifically farming like eighty dahren mohrans or something.

You say you're getting 32 dash extracts per meownster hunter excursion, so maybe I was just doing it wrong, but when I tried with all trapper cats I got literally two.

>>167323614
If you don't play striker dash juice is useless.
If you play striker you want 100% uptime.
If you use Mushroomancer you need to eat too many mopeshrooms.
It's bad on DB, only alright on Bow and bow can't afford utility skills so it runs Mega Dash Juice too.
Mushroomancer's only use is the 10 max/ancient pots.
Divine Blessing is much better and Divine Blessing is one of the worst useful 5 slotters.

>>167323614
did you forget that archdemon mode doesn't boost damage anymore only attack speed, also if you are playing striker you need to constantly be in demon mode so MDJ is better
>>
>mfw I made a CB set with S+2, RS, Arty Novice and Crit eye +3.

Any other weapons I can use it for? Maybe substituting another skill for Arty Novice
>>
>>167323614
MDJ is a must in Gen because you always need 100% demon mode uptime if you want to be doing any decent damage. Being able to spin2win from idle in demon mode basically removed any reason for archdemon mode to even exist.
>>
>>167323820

>>167324407
I think he means giving striker archdaemon but making it the nerfed version. That would be funny though.

>>167324464
That's fair. But I think the 4U version should be a flat 10% raw added when attacking a weakpoint instead of 5 hitzone value. It's just kind of nonsensical for there to be a skill that is most effective when the monster has EXACTLY 45 points on its weakest/most accessible weak hitzone.

But hey, at least it was excellent on rajang, with 45 on almost all its hitzones, which is all that most people hunted past hr300 anyway.
>>
>>167324436
It still shouldn't give you 50 fucking percent affinity. It'd still be a really efficient skill if it gave 30%. 50 is just fucking stupid.
>>
>>167324407

>>167324557
>the offence skill most dependent on the player actually being competent shouldn't be the one that is most valuable
???

>>167324703
50% is 12.5% additional damage (without crit up). Admittedly it should only be like 30 when crit up exists, and crit up is a good thing that should exist, but while 12.5% is very significant it's not exactly busted. AUL is 10% or more on most weapons, AUXL in 4U was 7-10% on most endgame weapons, HH's AUL is 20%, pierce/normal/heavy up are a 10% boost for gunner weapons (spread/pellet is 30%), trueshot up is a 20% boost but only for special shots (internal/power/arc)- 12.5% is a bit higher value than the most common endgame attack skills but not by much, and it also should be anyway. With crit up as well, of course, it's 20% more raw on average, which is a bit high, though that's also from two skills.

All that is also assuming no other affinity boosting skills or effects and a 0 affinity weapon, the skill is less valuable relative to initial raw the more affinity you already have (the more of your damage comes from affinity to begin with).
>>
>>167324464
>>167324669
Definitely would like old WE available alongside the new one
>>
Does anyone else miss 4U's blood effects? I loved how visceral they were, especially on weak points. Gen's blood effects are pretty wimpy in comparison.
>>
>>167325005
>the offence skill most dependent on the player actually being competent shouldn't be the one that is most valuable
You'd have a point if most monsters in Gen didn't basically stick out 60 raw hitzones out there begging for you to hit them.
>>167325005
>and crit up is a good thing that should exist
Crit Up is an alright idea in Frontier, where it's just another skill to pile up on top of your 12 other crazy compound skills. It might not be such an issue anymore in XX, but in Gen, the combination of WE+Crit Boost is horribly constraining when it comes to set building. If your set can only have 4 skills, two of those in combination are better than every other alternative, and a third is a must on all but two blademaster weapons anyway, then you have a problem.
>>
>>167325312
Or like deviants with 44 weakspots
>>
>>167325005
oh yeah and WE was optimally 11.1% in 4U, but only 5.5% in the most common worst case, which, again, is a monster with a WEAKER hitzone- Rathian's 90 hitzone on her head.

>>167325208
Yeah, and gen's four thousand flashes per hit are pretty obnoxious especially with how high everyone's affinity is. It's really bad when they tank your fps to like 10 because there's two dbs at once, even though you use the full system clock with cfw. But if you set effects to minimal you lose the (now barely visible anyway) blood splatters.

>>167325312
>in Gen, the combination of WE+Crit Boost is horribly constraining when it comes to set building
Yeah, that's why I agree it should be nerfed to 30% with crit boost. Crit boost is also generally useful and that would still give WE high value if you can get both at once without it being a combo you basically have to prioritise for an optimal set. Maybe two tiers of WE would be better, or something.

But also yes it will probably be better in XX regardless.
>>
>>167325208
I think they're the same but overshadowed by those redundant flashes on every single goddamn attack
Who thought that was a good idea, honestly?
>>
>>167325363
Deviants were actually a pretty cool idea. After 4/4U every monster just turned into a glass cannon with massive raw weakspots, while Deviants would often require more specialized equipment because of their massive defenses against raw damage.
>>
>>167325657
" "
>>
>>167325657
Deviants are just glorified subspecies, otherwise inflated health and attack values are shitty GQs all over.
>>
>>167325419
>>167325312
Oh yeah and I know this is a pissweak argument but WE talis can go up to +5 with 3 slots, which means 9 total points of WE on your tali. One spare armour or weapon slot would then let you proc it. But that's rng/cheating reliant, since you need a perfect WE talisman for it.

>>167326184
Not really. Subs were omitted to make deviants seem more special, otherwise it would be obvious they were just lazy subs but with actual model changes.

I'll admit the model changes are cool but the fights aren't really better than subspecies' usually are, in a lot of cases they're worse since they rely on even more bullshit attacks like dreadking's big fucking fire blast that don't mesh well with the core gameplay of MH. Of course rath subspecies are pretty shit too, and raths being shit in general is nothing new (though at least the basic raths feel like they fit in the game).

Stygian looks like shit and has terrible projectiles but the combo of insane element weakness and dragonblight is alright (Jho/Savage were here first though)
>>
>>167328848
Stygian's projectiles don't home. One type locks on to the point you were standing when they spawn, which they only hit a few seconds later giving you ample time to move even if you're in the middle of a GS charge, and the other follows a broad curve like normal zinogre's but travels faster. Only apex zin has homing projectiles but they home very slowly.

Depends entirely how much damage you do. Solo or duo demolisher should be pretty close to the monster dying I think, in a group of 4 generally only scroll/DLC gogmazios should even take that long and the demolisher will usually finish those off or bring them within a few hits. It's hard to hit smaller shit with the demolisher, especially solo, though. Once playing with /mhg/ we did a scroll gog and one guy was rushing the the demolisher to trigger it when my kinsect killed gog with a lovetap to the wing, it was kind of funny

It works fine, do like >>167331995 said. It's the /mhg/ 4U guide, with in-depth individual weapon guides and a general guide including tips for each monster. It's high quality, though I think it still has a few errors/slight misinfo in some weapon tips, like listing evasion under "nice to have" for most weapons but then basically saying "don't use it" to avoid drawing the ire of tryhards. (It really is nice to have on most weapons if you play below TA level, and basically required for an optimal build even at that level of play on both lances.)

>im using a CB with the impact vail skills
afaik CB is hard to use on rajang but actually one of the better weapons for it if you master it. I only use CB when I'm shitting around with midtier monsters though, so I kinda suck at it and don't know a lot about its matchups.

But yeah pure raw is usually better on rajang. You should try getting a relic (perfect ones are almost unicorns, better-than-craftable ones are actually pretty common) or make ceadeus regalia btw.
>>
>>167332596
It's probably discouraged because Evasion VS Utility skills requires more skill, and because most people run evasion but still can't use it.
>>
>>167332596
ill go with the dora blade since its higher raw then the ceadeus i have all the rank 9 and 10 CB so and i like using htem rather then relics for the challenge
as for using the cb iv got like 500 hours on it now so im decents its just that because of the way it stings its very hard to get a spot on rajang that doesnt bounce, i have to time the tail or go underneath him most of the time just to get an a charge when i time it then i try and just aed him untill he turns normal and hopefully knock him out so i have enough time for super aed. oh and when he cucks the large rock i can get a super aed if i time it right.
other then that its just the waiting game and chip damage with GP

>>167332978
oh my skills are gaurd+2, honed blade, artillery novice and razor sharp.

>>
>>167333124
You can go down to G+1 when you're not fighting Teostra or Tigrexes.
>>
>>167332978
The ceadeus regalia has 30 more points of raw and much more combined purple and white sharpness at the expense of 10 affinity and two slots compared to the daora CB, the daora one basically exists for when you need more slots to get all your skills because of bad luck with talis. If you mean eldaora, after accounting for its very low affinity and very slim purple and white it's actually not very good. Most of its BM weapons aren't, its LBG is godtier though and is the weapon of choice for hameing elder dragons.

>>167333124
4U is good, better than gen imo, there's no shame in still playing it.

>is it worth bring them as well as might seeds?
If you eat for attack up (and basically the best things to eat for are all on combos that give attack up L) demon drugs do nothing unless you cart and lose your food buff, since demondrugs' bonuses are actually the kitchen buffs and don't stack. Kitchen AUS is 5 points (same as demondrug) and AUL is 7 (same as mega demondrug).

>i would like to start 3U
I played 3U parallel to 4U (they were my first games, I got 3U like a mere two weeks after 4U) but while I enjoyed it a lot and liked the monster cast more the slightly smaller weapon movesets, underwater combat with some of my favourite weapons that do poorly underwater (especially SnS) and lack of quality of life features (especially item sets), combined with the dead multiplayer, meant that I never ended up playing it nearly as much. If you can deal with all that shit it's great though.

Drilltusk > Berserk, Drilltusk is fine but it uses too many AoEs
Azure > Dreadking, Dreadking is complete cancer. Took every bad design in a MH boss and threw it into a monster. (having to watch it attack instead of punish, AoEs, wind pressure on every attack while flying)
Thunderlord > 140 Stygian, Thunderlord has very few new animations but it doesn't rely on AoEs unlike Dreadking and like Red Bear they got creative with it's follow-ups and combos.
Grimclaw rubs me the wrong way, it isn't cancer like Dreadking but it's moveset is loaded with lazy AoEs. Maybe because they are conal attacks instead of gigantic energy spheres but still

Is striker hammer any good offline? I read it's mostly known as shit because it loses the golfswing but gets natural focus so you can spam the superpound (which launches everyone in a huge radius online). I'll probably mostly just use guild anyway because I'm used to 3U/4U hammer, just curious.

Hammer has shit arts so it's not worth it, all its styles are good but Striker is the least good.

>Given the information above, the Japanese name, ディノバルド [di-no-ba-ru-do], sums up the monster well, combining words for “dinosaur,” “nova,” and “halberd.” However, after we tried romanizing it, “dino” just felt too on the nose. Also, its tail reminded us more of a sword rather than a halberd. So, we decided to take a different approach and drew from words related to fire, swords, and ferocity in different languages. Here are a few names from the first round of brainstorming:

Ignagrios: from the Latin word for fire and Greek word for ferocious
Ardurox: from the Latin words for blaze and fierce
Kalagrios: from the Greek words for burn and ferocious, and the Latin word for blade
Dynigrus: from Dyrnwyn, a sword in Welsh lore, and the Latin words for fire and wild

We mulled over our ideas for a while, but we weren’t too crazy about any of them. After some more deliberation, we decided to include something dinosaur-related in the name after all, but only if we could make it more subtle than the original name. We looked to actual names of dinosaurs, such as the Carnotaurus and Tyrannosaurus, and experimented with the –saurus suffix. We shortened it to –us, preceded it with parts of the Latin words for sword and burning, and came up with Glavenus (gladio + fervens + saurus).

>To preserve this overall theme in the international name, we thought it would be best to keep it Japanese in nature. However, were afraid a transliteration of the original, “Tamamitsune,” wouldn’t be easy to pronounce. Not to mention, the name was a bit lengthy as a base name, and would really limit our naming options if there were ever a Subspecies or Deviant of this monster in the future. Simplifying it to “Mitsune” was our first proposal, but the director Ichinose-san didn’t like the ring of it. He ended up approving our second proposal, a combination of the Japanese words for “water” and “fox.” In hindsight, I’m glad “Mitsune” didn’t get approved in the end. All we did was chop off the first part of the original name, so it felt like a lazy way to name a monster—not to mention a flagship!

Raizex sounds radical, but you lack the obvious link to thunder.
>>
>>167339232
assuming you use mostly draw attacks (you should except when the monster is downed) crit draw is close to a full 25% damage boost and aul is about a 10% on most weapons, crit draw is way better. I've also seen gimmicky crit+punishing draw LS builds since the draw attack is pretty fast, where you play it hit and run and KO the monster over and over while building up pretty respectable damage, but that's just fun and not optimal (like using kinsect only or heavy arrows).
>>
>>167339232
>>167340680
oh yeah and the draw skills also synergise well with db which gets a high damage multihit draw attack in archdaemon, the whole attack (every hit of it) deals stun and crits. Again though, that's a gimmicky build, those skills are mostly GOAT on GS and gimmicks on other weapons.

IMO astalos and raizex both sound really good, and while I think I slightly prefer raizex I could just as easily see someone preferring astalos. Your bias probably comes from getting used to raizex. After all this is almost definitely why people claim they actually like a doofy garbage name like "dinovaldo" (or dinovalberd as it would apparently have been anglicised), which isn't even good to begin with (granted it's a bit better than glavenus, which from its etymology apparently IS supposed to be pronounced "glaive anus," not rhymed with ravenous).

>Known as 矛砕 [hoko-kudaki] or, “spear breaker,” in Japanese..... Among those in the running for this name were Stonewall and Thickshell, but we decided against them because they only put focus on the monster’s defensive qualities.

>>
>>167346302
The shield and spear paradox comes from both an unpierceable shield and a spear that can pierce any shield (ie hermitaur's claws and its horn). What's weird is that they went with a name that focuses on the offencive and defencive capabilities of its claws alone when the jap name more fully encapsulates the monster, but I guess they were working with pretty limited space for names (which seems to be the reason for a lot of shitty ones).

They play exactly the same...

Spiked spear looks better, expelger is ugly as fuck. Short term expelger will be better, especially against water-weak monsters (where you are in the game I think that's pretty much just tetsucabra, not positive though; probably most notable later on is brachydios), but spiked spear upgrades better, especially into the twistcrawl (lance does excellently with status and element, and paralysis is extremely useful for almost everything- A few things are immune, mainly some elder dragons).

So basically I recommend you go spiked spear+.

Nah, when you unsheathe it it has four prongs that extend visually but they have no effect on gameplay and it looks bad. Most larger weapons have an animation like that by the way. Some even have animations on some attacks, like jho's greatsword becoming engorged when you charge it.

>>167359101
To an outsider it would all look the same. How is he supposed to know it doesn't reference a gameplay mechanic? Anyway virtually all flavour text, including that, references either the weapon's mechanics (even if they're strictly cosmetic) or lore shit, and it's generally clear which is which. It's just not always clear when the mechanics referenced are cosmetic and when they're practical, or for that matter if they are practical then when they are a good or bad thing.

Not really, your reading comprehension has to be pretty bare bones if you have difficulty following it.

>Sharpness and Hunter arts are very specific gameplay elements. There is a clear distinction between equipment description that curtails to gameplay mechanics or visual effects.
Unsheathing is also a specific gameplay mechanic, and there are skills that pertain to or proc on unsheathing or sheathing, so by definition it is not unreasonable to assume something referencing unsheathing references an actual gameplay mechanic- Just as it is not unreasonable to assume the "flavour text" references mechanics in the first place. And, again, the weapon actually does what the flavour text says- It just has no effect on damage dealt. The flavour text is absolutely to be taken literally.

I mean, look dude, the emerging image here is that you're just kind of slow (to put it politely) and I guess you're having a bad day or something so you're lashing out at people on 4chan, but on top of whatever happened to you today now you're just going to have to cope with the fact that you're also wrong about everything and a literal newfag who knows nothing has proven to be more of an expert on the series than you.

No, this is what it says.

From this, we can assume that its purely visual because it DOES NOT use keywords that pertain to gameplay like Attack, Sharpness etc. It does use the word drawn but nothing beyond that.

Otherwise, it would say "ejects four blades when drawn for an increased attack" or something along the lines.

He said almost everything. Even that is an exaggeration though.

In the end hellblade is best for maybe half of the weapons, but it's at least really good for almost everything.

You can kill them in the Japanese versions, Julio. They give different rewards as well, which is the entire point of KOing versus killing and actually makes that statement valid, except you just have one reward list in the western releases.

What should I aim for in Status gunning with LBG, /mhg/?

Is status+2 mandatory, or could I drop to status +1? What about Load up vs Ammo Saver?

Is Kettleblower/Gods Isle still the go to status guns?

With a good tali and slotted weapon or just a perfect WE tali you could get WE on that I think.

>>167366651
Try to time it so you can do this >>167366891 right when you hit the charge level you want, this is less important if you have dash juice (in which case just start charging as soon as you loose an arrow so you have a shot ready when there's an opening)

the skill trueshot up combined with power shots and adept style can get you quicker, stronger shots, but this isn't necessary by any means, just optimal and a big part of the reason bow is the #4 TA weapon in Gen

element is very valuable on bow, but generally try not to prioritise it over raw. For status shots, spread bows are very effective. For both, you gain element/status from charging to a higher level, so don't think you can spam level 1 shots to apply status faster.

adept bow is the best but that doesn't mean you should write off guild bow, it has another HA slot and a sick double backstep that might be nice to have, plus the arc shot which is useful sometimes and fun to use pretty often

maybe most importantly, play around with the camera and bow control options (in the options menu, accessed from the start menu) and see what works best for you. For instance I find bow a lot easier to play with the camera's horizontal movement unlocked from the bow's, so the camera doesn't reorient itself when I turn my character while aiming a bow, and have de-aiming set to manual so rolling doesn't cancel it; That way I can leave aiming up all the time unless I need to quickly flip it off to manually adjust the camera, which is rare because of target cam

>>167367337
It's reconfigurable, before 4 it was X and you can set it to be X again in options. I prefer R myself though, it feels a lot more natural.

I don't know much about in gen but if you're going pure status there's no reason not to get status+2, bonus shot on appropriate guns and presumably ammo saver for similar reasons. Load up isn't as important.

But I don't think I've ever seen or done pure status gunning outside of hame, so take that with a grain of salt. Better to have s+1 and eat for specialist alongside having actual ammo and regular damage skills to fall back on, especially if you can't rely on your team to be on top of dropping bombs, wailing on the head, etc as you proc each status.

Speaking of LBG, I'm salty that you can't carry the equivalent of 2.5 stacks of slicing ammo with 4 or 5 shots of rf anymore, that was the coolest shit.

>>167368719
Better, there's a very in-depth guide on bows that more than rivals those lumped in with all the other weapons in the OP
http://laxgg.blogspot.com/p/mhgen-introduction-contents.html

Don't be intimidated by the introduction, everyone plays up how hard but rewarding their main is. Bow is actually pretty safe to use once you git gud at it because of its high mobility and reasonable range, in fact in 4U I used fleet feet on it because I got a relic with 5 points of it and found that I was never getting hit anyway. It's even easier to not get hit with adept style, though adept might make you feel pressured to do things that might get you hit when you could have just avoided the attacks.

Rathalos is fine, albeit getting a little stale with age. Its variants are all ass, though. Hyper Silverlos is just uninspired. "How can we make Silverlos a good Hyper monster?" someone asked. "Oh, I know," another answered, "let's just up all its numbers by two-hundred percent and make it super fast. That's fun, right? That's what the players want?" "Don't forget the hitboxes," another adds.

Ichinose, meanwhile, steeples his fingers menacingly and stifles a maniacal laugh. But rest assured he's laughing in his head all the time.

But you're not wrong, it is very impressive how MH as a series contains so many examples of bad and good design. I feel like you could almost write a thesis for how to, and how to not, make a video game, all in the same series.

>>
>>167368941
Thanks, anon. I'm still looking for more information, but that definitely helps. From what it looks like, I can still hang at Status+1 unless there's nothing else I can set in my build, at least.

I still need to find good status guns beyond those two, though.
>>
>>167369427
It's all true, especially the part where they admit that it isn't nearly as important in Gen because of haste rain and adept instant charges (and powershot-heavy play). It is a little perturbing that they still say it's "mandatory" when later they look to TAs to prove a point about trueshot, even though no bow TA I've seen uses focus in Gen.

So yeah >>167370201 don't consider focus as mandatory as Laxaria says now that that anon mentions it. It's nice to have but don't prioritise it over better means of getting more damage, just learn to use powershots effectively instead.

In a similar vein later on, I'm pretty sure you can get both pretty easily lategame but prioritise trueshot up over your specific shot type up.

>>167370316
Not as far as I know. All the guides in the OP, or at least the ones for 4U, are pretty good, though. I don't think we even have Generations guides yet, iirc it took us until MHX was already out to get up-to-date and accurate guides for 4U because that's how long it took for an anon to have the dedication and desire to do it.

To clarify, evasion is only present on some armors, right? Or are slots how you add it to them? I'd like to get some i-frames but I'm fucking clueless with skills.

Hey. Is G-Rank confirmed for MHXX?
>>
>>167371204
High Rank only, sorry.
>>
>>167370881
You can get it from armour, slots, talismans or a combination of the three. Like all armour skills, you need ten points in it before it procs, and like many armour skills, it has a second level that's more powerful at 15 points. With NO evasion skill, you have 6 iframes. With 10 points of evasion you have 10 iframes. With 15 points you have 12 iframes.

A lot of people have, throughout time, ridiculed evasion+2 for being only a 2 point difference, but if you're astute you might have noticed that +1 is 4 iframes at the cost of 10 points so 2.5 per iframe and +2 is 6 at the cost of 15 so still 2.5. And if you've played other games with variable iframes, you might already know that even 2 iframes can feel like a world of difference sometimes.

That does mean potentially restricting the armours you can use, and thus skills you can get, though, and relying heavily on anything over e+1 heavily limits the cap of your personal skill as well. About half of shit CAN be iframed with no armour skills whatsoever. Nearly everything can be "evaded" by just having good positioning, but overreliance on that that will screw you over when you get to something that demands you either get the hell out of dodge for an excruciating amount of time or know how to iframe.

Assuming you're playing generations, there's also adept style. It isn't ALWAYS good (unless you're using DB), and I don't know the exact number of iframes, but it feels about the same as e+3 (which was only available in 4U at the cost of 20 points, and was an excessive 18 iframes).

>>167371204
Ichinose actually said they're dropping high rank so they can focus on a really excellent, polished low rank experience. He has also heard fans' complaints about the graphics and stated that they're going to experiment with textures of the same quality as 4U's, and drop the fps cap to 15 to compensate.

play 3U and fight Uragaan in G rank. It's rolling slam and strong variation of the chin slam are the only unique animations on it verses MHGen high rank Uragaan. The only things Crystalbread does differently are it can drop Precious Stones off during it's roll animation at higher levels and it causes tremors on it's puny chin slams like tri Uragaan.

Silverwind has absolutely nothing different from Lucent Cuga except the tail whip stays close to it's body, it uses it's all it's tail attacks to zone you unlike Lucent who would normally stick to spinning, and it has a unique jump animation.

both of these monsters are just copypasted 3U species

There's no promotional picture yet. The picture was a mockup picture. There's barely any information about even the movie studio. But since it's Paul Anderson and there's this Mr X studio involved, it's probably gonna be Sony Pictures.

Funny the sizzle reel is from September, the same month they first announced there's even a Hollywood movie in the making, and nobody saw the sizzle reel. Meaning there's already significant work that has been done even back during the casual announcement at TGS. Everybody just keep reposting the mockup picture.

i think you're confusing story with lore.
the "story" of each game is irrelevant. 4u had more story in the maps than it did in the actual "story"

i'm sad that the movie is completely tossing out all of the lore that is there to build off of, but i don't really care that much since it's doomed to be shit regardless.

i just hope the movie doesn't give new people an incorrect impression of the series like what happened with the silent hill movies.

I'm not, that's the thing.
Even 4U had a very basic story. It's not a story-driven game.

That last one is a good point, but I don't think it'll cause too much damage.

At worst, it's gonna be a cheesy generic action movie. Nobody's favorite movie, but, but it'll put butts in the seats.

yeah. i agree. butts in the seats are good for everyone.

I hope my boy ceanataur is gonna be in it.

Who would've guessed that Gen would've turned out worse than Frontier?

I'll pay to see in the theatre twice if there's a scene with a Seregios picking up a tank and throwing it at another tank.
>>
>>167379853
it's slightly better than frontier because it has charge blade and frontier doesn't.

I wonder if mainline will ever get toned-down tonfas. i feel like the ground moveset is solid enough that with some tweaks it could be a really fun addition.
>>
>>167379753
I think that'd look nice. And it'd be a good thing for young hunter to stumble across.

>Hunter is tired as fuck
>Not used to running
>Stops by water in desert
>FUCKIN' CEANATAUR BITCHES

Again, there's nothing wrong with a cheesy action movie.

Sometimes, I don't feel like cooking a massive meal. Sometimes I just want a burger from Five Guys.

This movie has the potential to be that burger.

The saddest part of a world with nearly all known information at our fingertips is no one uses it

Then why the fuck do you want them? If you need to tone them down then they aren't the same weapon. I'd rather have an actual unique weapon

>>167380650
because the aerial moves and kicking off the monster is retarded and would be absolutely broken in mainline, although the gap between what would be broken in mainline and okay in frontier seems to be closing with each game
>>
>>167377525
The footage clearly shows it's Godzilla 2.0
Like it's even Gore Magala
Woah hey maybe we'll get rage infected people, just like the most source faithful movie of all time, World War Z

Are there any other matchups that can warrant another bow aside from Teo's?

so many monsters go into roar position and do gigantic energy attacks while having tacked on super armor?

dreadqueen is an improvement moveset wise, but those shitzones man

Shagaru on Shagaru and Teostra

>>167378605
Many times, I just like Zenith Wind Press and Espinas always does it as a wake up.

But considering Z Espinas specifically, he's only got 2 or 3 circular AoEs anyway.

Would it also work against the Dreads, or is the dragon weakness too negligible to sacrifice raw+blast?
