Alright /v/ think of a new weapon for Monster Hunter
Cannon Tonfa (still not in main game)
Big Ass Gauntlet with grapple moves
>Implying I would use it anyway
Hammer all day, erry day.
>>342050519
A big two handed flail
>>342050519
Hand guards and foot guards
giant boomerang
could be two types
one thats sharp, and causes pierce damage
and one thats blunt and causes exhaust and KO
both can be thrown and also smacked with
A long hammer. Lighter, faster, further reaching version of the hammer. Sort of like the long sword to the great sword. Not sure what cool name to call it.
>>342050519
BIG
MEATY
CLAWS
>>342050919
Like a polearm with a mallet at the end.
NANU CHAKU
What about a staff
>>342050519
Chuckable Spears.
Martial Artist
Quarter Staff
Yo yos.
>>342051167
Insect glaive is sort of like a staff already.
Rapier
One handed piercing sword, held in fencing stance
Lot's of lunges + high movement, sidesteps rolls etc, bonus damage when hitting enemy during its attack animation
Wears down quickly, but high starting sharpness
Whip - combos let you zone in on a certain range, and the playstyle centers around hitting sweet spots with the point of the whip in succession for damage burst. Special could be one large sweep that unsteadies the monster.
>>342050519
I hope the monster hunter team adds that dog as a weapon in the next MH
Pile-driver
Gient Hedgecutters
Whip
Spiked Helmet
Umbrella
>>342050694
>big ass gauntlet with grapple moves
>focus on getting close to monster with quick blows after a sidestep
>can uppercut for vertical movement/dodging
>can grapple smaller monsters
>can unleash an ora ora rush attack but left vulnerable after it
>generally low sharpness but gets dull very slowly
>>342051787
so tera brawler?
maybe minus the OP impenetrable counter
>>342050519
Halberd. (combination of switch axe and lance moves with some bugrod thrown in?)
Flail.
Javelins/thrown shit.
Fist.
>>342050519
Murdergun. I want to see how a fucking red reptile tries to run away when he's being raifef by an italian machinegun
An weapon that switch forms
Naginata - Whip
Would be the coolest fuck ever
>>342050519
Giant Ass Boomerang.
>Has weak melee moves for up close.
>Stronger throwing moves that leave you unable to attack, but in return make you very mobile
>>342051548
you know you just wanna tie up your monster waifu.
>>342051520
A Rapier is nothing without the main gauche
>>342050519
chained Whip
hooked chains
pole-arm
flail
fists
>>342050694
sounds like insect glaive but with more movement instead of insect gimmick, could be fun
>>342050790
so it'd have large aoe hitboxes? could be good against small monsters, otherwise naw
>>342050846
>throw boomerang
>can't do shit until it comes back
>>342050919
polearm could be good, you'd have to make it different enough from hammer to work, maybe no charge but faster hits?
>>342050998
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt6Lkgs0kiU
>>342051285
>yo yos
what did he mean by this?
>>342051520
sounds fucking awesome, but maybe I've just played too much dexfag dark souls
>>342051548
I like the sweet spot idea but the furries would have a field day with this
>>342051762
how would those even work
>>342051992
I like it
>>342052120
so a minigun? could be good for a high maintenance high damage/effect weapon
>>342052245
could be cool but I'd prefer a whip-sword like ivy from SC
>>342052248
actually sounds pretty good, I take it back >>342050846
>>342052436
sounds like you just want to chain some monsters up
>>342050519
this bad motherfucker right here, I am surprised there are STILL no whip weapons in MonHun
A PC port
>>342050519
So we currently have:
2 Axes (sorta)
2 Giant Swords (also sorta)
2 Sword and Shields
2 Lances
2 Hammers
2 Bowguns
So that leaves Twin blades, Bow and Glaive without some sort of crazy alternative weapon but glaive is new and pretty crazy on its own soTwin Blades that combine into a bow Kid Icarus style when?
>>342053150
Just on the small off-chance you haven'T played it do try out Toukiden
Boomerangs that can combine into a big scythe
fists
>>342050519
Tonfas
Gauntlets of some sort, also a whip would be cool
Hunting whip
>>342050519
Pilebunker
And >>342050694
>>342050694
>gauntlets
Play toukiden
Fist weapons, obviously. What could be more entertaining than beating a monster to death with your hands?
All I want is a over sized spear
Gunhammer.
The loaded ammution gets agitated and grows more powerful when you land melee attacks against a monster.
>>342052345
why would you need a parrying dagger against monster that don't use swords
the whole point of the weapon idea is to allow manual parries where you physically dodge and then counterattack instead of pressing a parry button
>>342053919
2kiden
>bladecucks have a several weapon choices
>gunbros still limited to 3
We need a new gunner weapon.
>>342053682
As if the Frontierfags would ever let us have it.
They got bitchy about that one time their shitty bird and lava plesi showed up in another game.
>>342053919
I'm actually shocked that this isn't already a weapon in the mh series. Spear seems pretty basic.
>>342053519
Thanks Anon, I will give it a try. Maybe it will be cheap on the upcoming Steam Sale
>>342053919
Like actually ranged?
>>342054070
Toukiden
>>342050519
Pretty much anything in Toukiden honestly, it may not be mind-blowing as a hunting game, but its weapons are pretty fun.
spear. you can throw it. but you have to pick it up yourself. if it's stuck in the the monster you have to go and pull it out or wait till it drops
>>342054058
a demolitions class with a small firearm like a crossbow or flint-lock peestol and several grenades would b pretty cool and force you to be short to medium range to keep it interesting
>>342050519
Double crossbows
short ranged, but would maybe do some damage for a change
>>342054058
How about an actual Gunhammer?
A hammer that turns into a ranged gun weapon.
>>342054065
the people that made dragon ball let then put spirit bomb in the game
why would they get angry?
Extra Heavy Bowgun.
Basically just a turret you have to set up in place.
>>342050519
Giant shield (yes just a shield)
Fisticuffs
>>342054303
God eater 2
>>342054328
what game???
>>342054058
how tho
existing three pretty much cover all ranged options
you'd have to make existing ranged weapons less useful to create a niche for a fourth one
I mean I could see a weapon that is neither ranged nor melee entirely if for example we went with the yo yo design
it does melee damage but you can't hit at point blank range
you have to maintain critical distance at all times because the yo yo is not a bullet and the cord has limited lenght, so if you're even an inch too far you don't do any damage at all
you get too close you get significant damage decrease becasue whatever, yoyo wasn't fast enough before it reaches the end of the cord, or would even cause you to enter cooldown where you have to reel it back in by mashing a because you fucked up
>>342054232
put a chain on it, short range, but you can pull it back out and do some extra damage.
Plus the some lance like melee attacks, but youre faster with it drawn, and cant block.
The block would be the throw.
Would be something new, with the little twist, monster hunter likes.
CHAINLANCE
Hunting Chalice
>Every hit you inflict on the monster fills up a specific jug on your back depending on your attack type
>X fills Jug A
>A fills Jug B
>X+A fills Jug C
>Pressing R will drink a full jug and grant you a supportive effect
>If all three jugs are full, the supportive effect goes out to the entire party
>X+A+R with a full jug will dump it on a monster to give them an inverse effect
>Full-Jugs X+A+R will toss an explosive phial at the monster, doing enormous damage, but also putting you on a really slow cooldown.
>>342054529
>how tho
Hunting missile.
>>342054495
Its MH Online
China only or some shit
>>342054590
so like hunting horn but somehow more autistic
Maybe an actual axe.
For ranged? Maybe a musket type weapon. You have to shoot in a rhythm to get more damage.
Haven't had the chance to try out the demo I got. Gave the second to a friend that never played MH since he said he was interested and now he's struggling trying to figure out how to use the different weapons.
>>342054178
>Toukiden
>>342054392
>God eater 2
Is that how the ideas for monster hunter "rip-offs" are born?
Seems like that is where they start with those games.
>>342054664
How about a Hunting Flame Thrower
But instead of just fire it could spray other things, like acid or poison, or even a ice spray
>>342054821
Toukiden
>>342054664
>guided weapon
hunting hawk
while the hawk is out you have the one gauntlet to do melee or a sling do do ranged damage
melee damage you inflict activates hawk skills like in prowler mode
The hunting whip from the MH manga.
>>342054730
>hunting horn is autistic
What even means this buzzword on /v/ anymore.
>>342054868
>Spray a monster with bomb slime
oh baby
>>342054328
They just don't like their stuff getting out.
Tonfa, pets, and their Original the Monsters is all they have while the rest of the series moves forward with new mechanics, monster types and weapons.
Other than those they are in a constant state of trying to catch-up while still being stuck in MH2 gameplay.
>>342054058
Hand Bowgun with a Tower Shield
Insect Caster
Javelin/Throwing Knives
Maybe some kind of weapon that requires a different ammunition type. Possibly items out of your inventory.
>>342054868
I like it. Kind of like the Chem Thrower in Bioshock
>you slot in different cartridges for different effects
>you can fire in blobs or streams
>blob trap/glue stream
>healing puddle/healing mist
>then different elemental shit: fireballs, etc.
hunting sling
can do extremely short range melee
you pelt common rocks with maybe bow like coatings
BUT
you can also pelt inventory items at both monsters for damage and hunters for heals/buffs
really nimble with faster projectile travel than bow bot slower than any of the bowguns, same with crit distance
I'm more interested in the 2 concepts that didn't make it into MHX
Hopefully they'll realize at least one of them fully in the next gen
1/2 Hunting Hound
>>342050519
novelty sized flail/mace combo.
swing the mace to charge up the flail, switch to flail and its moveset revolves around swinging a big fucking ball on a chain that moves the PC to where the head lands.
>>342052940
Yo Yo's were invented to hunt animals.
hookcannon
it's a big fucking cannon that shoots a hook on a chain
the barrel has a big spear bayonet on it
you shoot the hook into the monster and then hit retract to send yourself flying into the monster bayonet first
>>342055337
Sword would be shit
A ranged gun would make so much more sense.
>>342054939
Toukiden 2
2/2 Wyvern Boomerang
>>342050519
grenades
yugioh cards
arousal
>>342055404
a piercing sword is something I would love to have in MHX
>>342055531
me too. But a ranged weapon works better with a pet.
It also means your armor will be limited which means you will have to use the pet to evade.
Wasnt there concept art for a prayer staff weapon that utilized paper on the hunters body?
>>342053150
I'm assuming there's no whip type weapon because the long sword and scatter shot already cause enough tripping to make people quit.
The ultimate weapon
>>342055389
Yes
YES
HOOK THOSE FUCKING DRAGONS OUTTA THE SKY
Give the user the ability to brace it on the ground or something and shoot straight up to grab a dragon flying overhead and pull it straight down and it's perfect
>>342055629remove tripping
>>342054858
Why call em a ripoff? It's like saying every fps after doom is a ripoff
>>342055337
>Egg collecting helps you get Monsters you can keep as a pet at the village
I don't really care about taking them with me on hunts I just would like one running/flying around the village where I can pet they tummy happily.
>>342055434
I love it.
>send out rang to go murder things
>go fisticuffs until it gets back
>>342055598
me too but this is official art and and I'm sure they could have made it work
being ranged and having a pet to basically tank or fight up close for you seems way too safe to be honest, especially if you could command the hound from afar
>>342055531
well you have epee shaped sword and board
it still works like sns though
if it worked like really fast hitting really small lance
like if you build combo you get damage boost
>>342055676
Freedom wars
Maybe 2kiden 2
>>342055697
That is why I put it in quotes.
They are not really rip-offs.
>>342055813
Call it hunting games, like the nips already do
>>342053919
That or a halberd type weapon.
Whatever lets me be a matador
>>342055735
I like the idea of fighting with a rapier with a hound at your side
like a piercing SnS but with more mobility with an emphasis on sidehops and backhops
maybe like a reverse insect glaive where YOU hit certain parts of the monster to give your hound buffs

>Loader Bowgun:Gimmick is a secondary loading feature; you can either double the clip size of the primary ammo by extending it into the second chamber, or pick a second ammo to double load, adding half of its usual clip size to the second chamber, rounded up. For double-loaded shots, you can fire off at any time without having to change primary shots, as long as you're not already in a primary fire animation. You mayn't load any secondary ammo of other levels than the primary ammo if you're loading the shot type; extend the current primary ammo OR choose a different shot altogether.
Its marked shot system is Economy Shots. When firing EcoShots, ANY next shot you fire will be saved. Your clip will drop like normal, but the EcoShot will prevent the shot count in your inventory from decreasing on the next shot. Could be abused for, say, alternating Clust/Crag after, say, Eco N2, if you're lucky to find a gun with an EcoShot that doesn't have high recoil or low carry.
Movement speed halfway between light/heavy, sheaths over the head like heavy but lacks folding, making it sheath and draw faster than heavy.
No power barrel, shield, or silencer; instead:
A) Simulfire Mechanism: Can fire the second chamber off at any point in any animation, even during primary fire. Good for abusing the EcoShot, but if your secondary shot has higher recoil than the primary, then both will suffer from that recoil. Due to the fact that you can't double-load other levels of the primary shot in the second chamber, the potential for abusing double-firing Pierce shots is negated.
B) Charger Mechanism: Adds wind-up dependent on shot type to ANY shots in the second chamber. Extended clips' second half gain a flat 10% power boost but marginally slower fire rate, but double-loaded shots go anywhere from 20% to 50% power boost depending on shot type, with Crag getting the largest boost but also absolutely MASSIVE wind up time.
Flail weapon that's full of aromatics. Swinging the flail crushes the perfumes inside the flail, producing large zones that buff the hunters or debuff the monsters. The aromatics need to be packed into the flail every so often, and can be swapped out for different buffs in combat like an ammo type. The buffs are unique to each flail, similar to the HH songs.
Horizontal swings arc well over the user's head, to minimize tripping.
>>342056092
Pshh he should just party with the male npcs then

Its actually pretty good.

A chemical flamethrower. Its a huge metal cannon that you tip chemicals into, that launch out in streams of fire or lobbed out in large plasma like blasts.
>each base weapon comes with a selection of chemicals
>you can combined them for different effects (think HH)
>good timing and persistence is the skill of the weapon, you have to stop 'firing' if you want to move (placing a lid on your cannon, you will have to tip out your brew after each attack, but a single brew can last a very long time), knowing when to launch your chemicals so you can deal the most amount of damage before being interrupted by having to move is important (similar to using crouching fire for HBG)
>you deal more damage the longer you hit the target
>can come with new effects, like firing glue
>>342056285
I'd be down with an alchemist type class, or a bomber hybrid, but without magic I don't see much point of a stave
>>342050519
Whipsaw
Transforms between a whip and a mechanical chainsaw like thing
Fuuma Two Hand Boomerang. Mostly ranged but has a melee wide arcing swipe.
>>342056213
>a giant thurible
yes
>>342056285
maybe instead of a staff, rather a giant slingshot that can throw explosives/vials
If they do make something new it won't be something traditional, look at the SA/CB/IG they all are unique.
>>342056237
I really enjoy it and wish he played. I started playing specifically because it does have gauntlets, but ironically enough I did not enjoy them like I thought I would and switched weaps.
>>342056335
I'd play a flamethrower weapon type in a heartbeat, even if it mean greatsword movement and not moving at all when firing.
Whip
Kamas
Scythe
Fist Weapons
Bow and Arrow
>>342056885
>Bow and Arrow
uhh...anon
Drills, knuckles, 100% pure axe, spear.
A big shield that shoots exhaust projectiles after being charged.
>>342056675
It wouldnt have to be as slow as greatsword, I think considering it will have lower range than other ranged weapons the movement speed of SA would be good enough, or maybe even a bit faster.
But it should be about unleashing a massive, long, powerful attack that you have to time right. A good player will know when the biggest window to attack will appear and will wait for it, burning the monster in its skin. A bad player will miss time it get hit because they have to 'cap' their cannon to stop it shooting.
Throw in some other effects and uses like being able to apply statuses and elemental cannons and I reckon you get a fun new ranged weapon that fits into the MH aestheticI kinda want to send this idea to Capcom in the 0.00001% chance they listen, I wish I spoke moonrunes
>>342050519
Frontier's tonfas after using a greatsword to surgically remove every last trace of "Frontier" from them.
>>342053919
>Spear without being a chunky yet paradoxically trippable brick of depleted uranium like LC/GL
Yes please.
>>342054058
>thrown weapons
Bows. They already shoots spears, about the only thing I can think of that it can't at least vaguely represent would be throwing knives/axes but those would have to be more hybrid melee/range than dedicated range to really make much sense.
>projectiles
Bowguns. New ammo types can account for almost any new projectile behavior without a new weapon class.
The problem is that while there are hundreds of ways to swing a stick at something there are only a few ways to throw a thing at another thing with any meaningful difference in the method.
Maybe a demolitionist class of sorts could work using mortars and setting explosives like mines and mini traps. Would qualify as a ranged class due to true separation between attacker and enemy.
>>342057136
>100% pure axe
please no, we've already run out of movesets you could even give it without being incredibly redundant
they just need to make axe-mode viable again, MHX really doubled down especially with adept letting you just stay in sword mode 100%
I wish this shit would come out on Wii U or PC. I love MonHum but I hate playing a game like it on 3DS
A mobile cannon like the one from Kid Icarus Uprising. A gunner weapon that uses bomb-like cannonballs as ammo, like Normal B, Ice B, Sleep B, etc.
Ammo is loaded one at a time, and then you charge up each shot before firing. Alternatively you can blow it up right in the barrel like a gunlance shell.
>>342057436
>adept
>sword mode 100%
I think you mean adept, axe finishers all day every day.
>>342050519
>Alright /v/ think of a new weapon for Monster Hunter
Make bows and duel swords the same switch-weapon.
That way bows get more utility and duel swords don't completely suck.
It's a quarterstaff with a flail on one side and a spear tip on the other.
The flail side can do light, fast combos that deal high stun damage and have excellent range. The bladed end can only do quick precision jabs with OK damage. Some of the flail combo hits would be bladed hits.
>>342050519

>>342057684
So Dual Blades without demon mode combined with Bow without coatings? How is that supposed to be better for either form?
Gauntlets or anklets that allow ridiculous martial arts moves.
I want to flying kick or ora ora a rathian. It would also go perfect with the biker outfits that are always bonus equipment.
>>342058114
You get both stupid.
>>342057629
yeah if you want to do shit damage, go for it
but you get a new combo with sword mode and you will do far more damage just staying in it, and with Energy Charge you never have to switch back to axe
>>342058343
But they're both relatively weak without their gimmick. How is making their gimmick each other supposed to help?
>>342057684
>combine existing weapon A with existing weapon B
no, enough with this shit
I want to see new concepts like these
>>342055337
>>342055434
a baguette that you can eat if you get hungry
>>342058624
can you mount it?
>>342050519
the game has 15 weapon types. There isn't a reason to add another one. Instead some existing weapons need revamps like Switch Axe
>>342058682
>no, but you can use it to vault over an enemy to miss it completely
>>342058685
Na, they can do both
They dont do that much between games, they can make new weapons and fix the old ones.
>>342058685
why not add more? It's not like they compete with each other, and they're all relatively well balanced
honestly without new weapons coming every gen, it'd be a more boring game
Mimicry/Beastmaster
Instead of killing or capturing a monster, you tame it. You learn how it fights and change your moveset in slight ways depending on what type of monster you have tamed. Upgrade trees could work as you worked your way up the variants of said wyvern and how many you tame.
>Tame a Rathian, your mount attacks now also poison the monster and you get a fire element ranged attack
>Tame a Pink Rathian, now all of your normal attacks are poison and your ranged attack is boosted
>Tame a Gold Rathian, now you have super armor on a lot of your attacks
I know it sounds really fucking stupid, but it was the only original idea I could think of.
>>342058403
And with Energy Charge you get an affinity boost in both modes. If you don't want to change back to axe, use Energy boost in conjunction with Demon Sword in Guild or Striker which makes Sword even more insane.
>shit damage
You realize the finisher totals 95 motion value, right? While the double upward slice totals 50.

A gunshield.
It's a gun. But also a shield. You can guard while you shoot, and shoot while you guard.
Gunslinger dart shooting hand cannons.
Make them the fastest but weakest range option so the goody cowboy outfits aren't completely retarded in universe.
>>342058949
>You realize the finisher totals 95 motion value, right? While the double upward slice totals 50.
and it launches you forward and has almost no combo potential
whilst the double upward can roll into more moves and keeps you on the monster's ass
don't get me wrong, I love the axe mode and personally think sword is boring, but it's just not well balanced. At least before you were forced to switch between them to build phial, but now that is moot
>>342050519
Some sort of punchin' fists with explosives on them or something.

Bullets work for marking places to attack
Other face buttons are commands for the dog
give them different ammo types that detonate when the dog hits them including status and elemental bullets
>>342050519
>Yo-Yo Rapier
It starts out as an axe and you have a gauge to fill out. In this form, you have a modified hammer move set with no golf swing, but you end a swing that moves you back. Once the gauge is full, press a button to send the head at the axe head at the monster and it spins in the place where it's stuck for about ten-twelve seconds where it does one attack per second.
The handle now becomes a rapier that's a little longer than the average SnS where you have multiple sidesteps in every direction but back and one button press does two slashes. The axehead comes back automatically, but the attaching animation is slow if you don't call it back yourself. If you call it back at the last possible second, the attaching animation is faster and your gauge fills up to 25%. If you're hit while the axe comes back you, the axehead falls to the ground and your rapier will bounce off the monster until the axe is reattached.
You basically have shitty consistent damage with a little KO in return for powerful Short burst DPS.
>Shield Arms
Your two arms are half of one shield and you have three phials. You can press R and your arms fold into a shield. Unlike other shielded weapons, you can't hold this block indefinitely, but it lasts for three seconds and successful uses fill up a gauge (one powerful attack will fill up a phial whereas weak ones take a couple blocks). Pressing X after a successful block shoves the shield forward, doing good KO and Exhaust damage and you get to go into a combo. If you press Y after a block, you use up a phial to do an uppercut and you can press Y up to three times to use up the Phials
>1 Phial
Standing uppercut that lets you continue attacking
>2 Phials
Jumping Uppercut that leaves you mid-air to attempt a mount
>3 Phials
Jumping Uppercut and smacks down with arms forming the shield, doing massive KO damage if you hit the head
Short range for consistent DPS and burst KO damage and potential part-breaking.

You take like two steps and it's really fucking hard to miss with it.
>Almost no combo potential
Last time I checked, you could roll out of the finisher and into an upswing, combo the finisher into an axe side chop, or perform a morph attack from the finisher.
You're arguing here to take only style with any real potential for good axe usage and make it into yet another sword only style. Which means that the entire game is literally sword only. I won't let you argue that, especially given that your arguments are flawed.

Did he say anything about flipping and jumping and vaulting and mounting?
>>342059037
Name? Is it that Monster Hunter Stories RPG or whatever?
>>342059824
Oh come on its absolutely identical and you know it
>>342059930
How?
I am trying really hard.
How would a gun work the same as a staff?
What did you guys think about the inclusion of Medium Bowguns in Tri and did anybody like the idea of customizing their Bowguns from various monster parts? Think it would be something worth bringing back?
>>342059998
Yeah look you're just being purposely obtuse and you know it. No more replies.
>>342060013
I like the idea of a third bowgun class but I don't think custom bowguns should return.
>>342060013
>and did anybody like the idea of customizing their Bowguns from various monster parts?
3U and 4U babies who only watched videos of tri think it's great. Actual BG mains in Tri know it's shit
>took twice the materials to make a gun
>absolute retarded stats like "range" which basically meant an abusable no armor skill trajectory which made Pierce the primary shot in Tri even on Raths
>ugly clownsuit guns
Absolute awful idea and one of the worst inclusions in Tri. That is saying alot considering tri also added charms
>>342060134
I am focusing more on the picture than his stupid second part of the post.
>>342060013
I like it on concept but it sort of made ugly looking guns and really didn't add much at the end.
>>342060293
To be fair, Tri only had one single charm table, so if you wanted to grind for charms it was a lot fucking easier.
>new weapons
You know what would be better; a new skill and armor system
LR/HR needs to be relevant in G rank through upgrading.
>>342060293
Wait the games before Tri had no charms? I might actually try out FU then.
Is there a bullshit equivalent?
>>342060654
Welcome to gunning in MHFU. Your best armor set is high rank
>>342060723
>Is there a bullshit equivalent?
Yeah, hitboxes
>>342060013
No, nips don't know how to balance mh, if they were to reimplement that feature i can guarantee you every bowgun would look nearly identical.
There would probably be some op barrel or frame that goes on every gun, similar to how every honed blade set in 4u needs the kujula grip.
>>342060780
HR armor is best rank, looks so good in comparison to Grank
>>342050519
Man I hate the Charge Axe playstyle and I don't understand how Insect Glaives work
they were such shitty weapon types
>>342060654
You know what would be better than all of those things?Monhun on an actual console.
>>342061001
Na
handhelds are comfy and MH doesnt sell well off it
>>342060654
In games lacking G-rank, it's not uncommon for people to mix high and low rank equipment because the skill/slot difference is minimal.
In games with G-rank, you can still get some good G/HR mixes. Hell, I got a set that gave me Honed Blade plus some extra slots and a free waist/charm/weapon slots pretty much just at the end of High Rank in 4U, and I've been using it for almost the entirety of G-rank, swapping out the waist and charm as needed for bonus skills to reduce the tedium of certain specific monsters, although I typically default to Speed Sharpener + Status+1 and Zamtreacherous Maw, although I can go up to +2 with any 2+ slot weapon.
>>342060723
nope not really
it was just jewels back then
>>342061046
Fuck handhelds.
>>342053446
This shit would be awesome as fuck, and you'd get the materials from dragon wings or something.
>>342061058
>clownsuits
Pls locate nearest tree and hang selfNa I clownsuit too, I just hate how G rank armor looks like shit and I want to use HR without the penalty of how little armor/skillpoints it gives
>>342061132
No anon, fug consumers. Because more westerners dont want MH Capcom has no reason to put it on consoles and port it to the west
Handhelds on the other hand are the main target in Japan, so its easy and cheap to port it across here.
>>342061180
The tiny ass cape at the back of the Rebellion Mail is tinted white to match the arms and legs.
Halberd. Sweeping axe swings with one button, stabby things with the other.
>>342061272
I don't give a shit.
The games control like shit on handhelds.
how happy/mad would you be if Capcom announced they were putting magic and spellcasting in the next MH?
>>342055669
DUDE freaking THIS xD
>>342061421
>I don't give a shit.
>I want MH as an entire franchise to die so I can get 1 MH game on a console
And thats why they wont port it to consoles.
>>342061492
I would rather it be a separate series entirely focusing on sword/board and magic
>>342061492
I don't think it would fit well.
>>342061421
The controls barely change at all on handhelds.
The ergonomics may be shit, but the controls are more than fine. In fact, since the advent of the dual screen, it controls better than ever thanks to convenient item, combining, and pinging shortcuts.
>>342061537
How would porting shitty graphics 3ds stuff to a console kill a franchise?
>>342061686
Jeez you really have no idea how game design works do you. I dont have time to explain this baby tier shit anon, lurk more.
>>342061776
You're hilarious.
>>342061686
Japan makes up 80% of MH sales in recent years.
Japan doesn't fucking buy consoles.
Japan doesn't fucking buy console MH on top of not buying consoles, far preferring portable MH for commuting, breaks, and in-person interaction.
Japan is the primary audience, here. Maybe the franchise won't die but the concession made for us alone isn't worth the loss in money and quality that the series will suffer as a result.
Best chance is to get one of the portable MH ported to console, but the graphics would be only marginally different. Maybe increased resolutions, at best.
Actually, no. Best chance is for next MH to come out on the NX, and the NX to either be:
A) A high-powered portable with the ability to stream to a television
or
B) NX Home and NX Portable, with cartridges comparable to if not better than current Wii U discs (which have been pretty much confirmed actually) that can be used interchangeably between them.
>>342061686
Because Tri exists and was a total fucking flop
It didnt even make 1 million sales for a series that always passes that on handhelds
tldr handhelds > consoles for MH
>>342051520
But rapiers were literally designed for unarmored combat... I.e. fights in the streets.

What if we had a trapper style weapon utilizing displacing the monster and running them into set bomb traps and such?
Maybe have them toss small hand-bombs with similar statuses as arrow coatings.

>Someone still has my webm of my retarded spasms when I first got Tonfas
Neat.
I'm quite happy I don't play that bad anymore, because G monsters wouldn't slap my shit if I was that sloppy.
>>342050519
Dual revolvers
How about a weapon where you carry around a bowl of really hot curry and breathe fire.
>>342054058
Spearguns.
>injects venoms (ammo) once you latch on to enemies but the spear comes off after 10 seconds
>has only a certain range, if monsters charges past range, you get pulled and fly (can be setup for mount ups, can sprint while spear in on monster)
>has a super where you stake the ground and if enemy runs out of your range, they trip and take massive stamina damage
>can hook into small enemies then toss them towards monsters
>>342053682
tonfas are fucking retarded
>>342064021
Whoops, kinda forgot to mention that the spear is attached to the gun permanently with a tube of some sort and you carry a tank on your back for your venom/fuel. So you basically shoot the spear at the monster and for 10 seconds you are 'attached' to the monster and can spend fuel to run around and inject elemental damage to the hooked limb until the spear comes off and have to reaim.
Some people complain that there are too many weapons for Blademaster, but not enough for gunner.
Why doesn't Capcom just incorporate throwing knives as a full-on weapon for Gunner? Just make throwing animation faster, give them a unique jump or two for throwing in mid-air. Maybe some kind of move where you throw out a bunch of knives at once as a burst move to inflict status. Have a finite amount of Knives, but be able to pick them up during the fight.
I'm just imagining a lot of mobility with this weapon, but maybe not a whole of damage unless Blast or Poison is involved.
>>342050519
tonfas
Not a weapon idea but item. Lasso, when you grab a monster with it other players can help you pull it down with a mount like minigame where you work together.

>implying it wouldn't be just aerial bowgun
an umbrella
two stances:
collapsed:
- X to swing it like a club and do blunt damage
- A to do stabbing attacks with the pointy end
- R to expand the umbrella
expanded:
- hold R to use it as a shield
- use attack buttons to twirl it around like a spinning saw to do slicing damage
- attack while falling to pop it open like a parachute
>all these shit suggestions
>people actually wanting tonfas in mainline mon hun
I'm glad they have actual game designers on the team and not you guys.
>>342059821
you can roll out of any attack into another attack, that isn't a combo, jesus
>You're arguing here to take only style with any real potential for good axe usage and make it into yet another sword only style. Which means that the entire game is literally sword only. I won't let you argue that, especially given that your arguments are flawed.
I'm not saying you can't use the inferior option damage wise. By all means, go for it. Sword mode is objectively stronger though, that isn't even up for debate.
Next time try to read what I actually wrote you giant retard.
>>342059821
also if you're using adept style with energy boost, you shouldn't be in axe mode anyways, so it's kind of a dumb argument in the first place
If you're sad that the switch-axe is a sword only weapon, then get over it or just use the inferior axe mode and be happy about it. It's the reality of the weapon now.
>>342066532
Okay, what's wrong with Tonfas in the mainline games? I don't play online and I'd gladly trade IG's for them.
>>342066878
They're stupid broken. It's basically an infinite DMC juggle combo in the air.
>>342066878
1. They aren't in MHO, they are in Frontier
2. Currently their stats blow out most mainline weapons since they can only be made in Frontier G which is it's own special little category, so they would need to be tweaked and touched up on that end.
3. With their speed and mobility in the air figuring out how they would interact with theshittymechanic of mounting would be interesting to say the least.
They fit the much needed gap of fast impact beautifully though.
>>342066878
tonfa's just look like they'd be pretty shit balance-wise. Constant attacks in the air would equal constant mounting in mainline and the seem to also do impact damage. Coupled with how fast they are KO's look like they'll happen fairly quickly. Also, again with staying in the air, it seems you can vault off monsters repeatedly. this, coupled with a good player seems overkill as you can stay out of the way of many monsters attacks.
>>342050519
Boomerang turned into an actual weapon
and Rapier
attack types can now either be slashing, bludgeoning or piercing with piercing being especially effective on many monster's bellies, though sometimes at their head or "weak points" as well
>>342050519
Throwing javelins please.
>>342067189
>>342067315
>>342067417
I'd still take them over IG given how boring it is.
A flail as a switch type weapon. Normal mode is similar to hammer with the chain inside the handle. Flail mode uses built gauge for slow high momentum, high damage medium range swings and slams with the ball on the chain. Guess they couldn't come up with another impact weapon so we end up with goddamn SNS impact oil buff.
>>342068046
aerial IG is the shit
>>342054058
Greatbow. It'll be the gunner's answer to the greatsword. Slow high damage single hit shots.
>>342057952
Glaive/Dual Swords/Chain Whip when?
>>342050519
New "Light" weapon class, with three things: Gauntlets, Shortswords, and Hand Cannons. Basically a 140 Velocidrome on steroids. Fast, mobile, and versatile as fuck, with the universal ability to use items as long as you aren't mid-combo, plus you can hold more of each item, and have more item slots than the other weapons Some attacks in the combo double as a dodge, with i-frames, so you can continue doing damage without worrying about DPS loss from dodging, so you can keep up with other weapons despite lower damage. Sword is designed for stylish bomber-type builds, abusing items to hell. Hand Cannon gets one shot type (some are normal, some are scatter, etc), no need for ammo, and elemental/status damage, plus you can fire it normally like a bowgun, or you can actually do SPIN2WIN combos. Gauntlets are mobility and combos out the ass, deal impact, and are the manliest weapon, since you punch it to death.
