Which monster makes you shit your pants when you see it?
This guy still makes me turn around when I see it during other missions.
Fucking brachydios.
Not a fun fight
>>343468309
Never really noticed it before but Jho looks like a giant penis with legs
>>343468721
>monster THAT CAN FUCKING DODGE
>THEY THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE AN ENJOYABLE FIGHT AT ALL
>>343468876
Now I imagine a giant penis on legs moving exactly like Jho, doing the backsteps and then spraying a jet of cum side from side all over the huntresses, slamming one of its giant leg-like balls on the ground and making them flinch and then jumping on the closest one, flopping on top of her and pinning her down with its giant glans and proceeding to cockvore her.
>>343468721
Fuck you, Brachy is loads of fun!
>>343468309
I like Jho, he's really not that bad. It's when you ry dealing with him and something else, or heaven forbid two Jhos who are both perma-raging. Jho by himself is rather easy since his crotch is his weak point as far as being able to effectively attack you.
I hate that owl in MH Generations more and I only fought it twice. Yeah sure thanks, I love being confused and sleeping.
>>343469354
>>343468721
I used to hate him on 3u, he became fun for me in 4 for some reason.
I used to hate Joe until I made a set for him that had tremor resist on it.
>>343469741
smart idea
Alatreon.
Took me half a dozen tries to beat him at the end of High Rank in 3U, even with G-Rank gear and all. Fight went down to the wire, 2 carts, no pots left, and under 5 minutes remaining. I've still only killed him 1 or 2 other times online, he's just such a chore to me that it isn't worth it.
In other news, I'm about to get the Argosy License award, I just need to lock a damn Plesioth in the forecast so when I inevitably miss all the rare drops I don't tear my hair out in frustration. Then I just need to farm resource points, forge a gorillion weapons, and crown hunt.
Nearly there.
>>343468309
everytime I see that particular jho picture it looks like the spines on his neck are teeth and it's like a land nibelsnarf
>>343472115
lol wut
>>343469656
>>343473271
Jesus Christ.
>>343469656
But what if the control scheme is bad on the PSP Monster Hunters?
>>343473271
i might also add that he insists on doing every.
single. quest.
so much time is wasted on gathering quests when all he has to do is unlock the wycoon guy, which took him 2 months
>tfw I got bored of MH4 because low rank and high rank are way too easy for me to grind through to get to the good stuff
>>343473674
Come back to 3U, friend.
Still plenty of people online for the Wii U version.
>>343472115
I thought the same thing
>>343468309
The fucking Rajang, although he doesnt pop up, I take those assrapes willingly.
I've yet to take a Frenzied Apex one down, I've given up.
BEST
>>343473196
Oh shit, I fucking see it now.

>Playing MH3 vanilla on Wii
>Doing HR quest
>Middle of hunt
>Suddenly this plays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3M06QVyWpw
>Deviljho is here
>Me and the rest of team bail the fuck out of the area since we recently started HR and we don't have the proper gear to deal with Deviljho yet
>Wait till he leaves the area so we can go back and fight the monster we were hunting
>Had to quickly finish off the quest before he comes back
>Our faces when when he first showed up during the quest
>>343477023
so basically this
Rajang and the way he fucking crashes into an area like a comet during multi hunt quests
i don't think ive ever been more terrified then when i was fighting tigerstripe zammy for the first time and a frenzied pink rathian swooped in and started using moves i had never seen before
aside from that, i just get excited when new quarry shows up - you go from being the hunter to the hunted and have to manage the fight in the field. i really enjoyed the seregios hr questline where he popped up everywhere
Regular Jho is a pussy in MH4U
140 Apex Jho is fucking terrifying, I'd rather fight 140 Apex Rajang
>>343478353
>Apex Raj
>attack his legs with purple sharpness
>bounce
fuck apex
>>343478857
i'm actually happy Apex isn't returning for Gen
the deviants don't seem much cooler but eh
>>343478857
Apex is actual artificial difficulty because of the fact that you need a drive stone to effectively attack that at any given moment and not bounce, even if you have a skill that's supposed to negate bouncing.
>>343477785
Rajang is horribly executed monster that just makes you go 'that's bullshit' when he's a party crasher because of how he bounces right towards and kills you before you have chance to flee even if there's another large monster.
Jho is a party crashing monster done right. He's an slow and unstoppable force that you can run away from (and will) and will attack anything in the field.
Also helps that Jho's theme overrides Rajang's showing he is the stronger monster. The fact that Jho is not labeled an elder dragon even though he can destroy an entire ecosystem by eating everything in s proof the real 'elder dragons' are a bunch of pussies.
>>343479690
>He's an slow and unstoppable force that you can run away from
that's what i love about Jho, you can outrun him but he will always keep following you, so you can never escape him outright
he's like a looming terror that you can avoid for a while, but you are always checking the area exits to see if he's on his way
it helps that his theme music works like the Jaws theme
>>343473405
If they gave Brachyodios FU hitboxes AND you had to claw. I think i'd break the controller in half.
>>343477023
Every encounter with Jho before you get late HR gear in a nutshell.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW5kDpCX6hA
>>343468309
Only at 140
>>343480116
>it helps that his theme music works like the Jaws theme
It's the slow marching beat that really makes it work. It's not over the top jungle shit trying to sound intimidating (but isn't) like Rajang or Chameleos. Or a rip off of old 1950 natural history documentary music like Khush. Or trying to hard to sound spooky like Kirin. Or managing to be garbage all the way through like Aknaktor.
It's just a slow marching brass to make you know something has appeared that is going to make a playground out of your asshole and all you can do is run and pray something else grabs his attention before he gets hungry again hombre.
>>343480361
Another older gen fossil that should have been dumped entirely and not brought back for gen 4.
If how stilted its animation is, I can't imagine how the awful the original Rathian was like before it was redone in Tri.
>>343479690
>>343480116
Also he will fuck with your quest in ways you don't even consider. And then eat the monster you were supposed to capture after he kills it during the mission failed screen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDF1wJ5DUk0
am i the only one?
>>343474343
>>343474502
Not that guy, but come on, this is clearly what he means.
>>343481558
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9FUam8Gc1Q
>>343481306
man, gotta hand it to Tri
i think it's the one game in the series that made it feel like there was a real living ecosystem going on, which the gen 4 seems to be missing
monsters like Peco and Jho were great in that respect
>>343480921
People learned not to stand directly in front of monsters then so it wasn't that bad.
>>343468982
Shitty filename, should have put BASED Kamiya instead of Toriyama.
>>343481558
Fuck no.
This faggot in 3U pissed me the hell off. I didn't play FU, so his shitty poison attacks were my first memorable experience with God awful hitboxes in the series.
And then in 4U they took away the music since he's blind or whatever, but it really just meant he lost his only redeeming factor.At least the hitboxes were better though
>>343468309
>NibbleJho
now how do i put my blue foob inside my ass-explosion-salad?
>>343482863
Khezu and Gigginox are two different monsters anon.
Very similar, but still different.
Gigginox has heat pits for eyes, Khezu is straight blind which originally meant that it never actually spotted you, which in turn made the fight have no music.
Then they made Khezu spot you in 4U but still no music which is dumb on both levels.
>>343479690
>rajang is horribly executed
I read this a lot but and I can see why people think this, but the first question that comes to my mind is: are these people blind?
His attacks have short tells and are fast as shit but he attacks in obvious patterns,
>Fists of fury
>backhop
>Spin
It's a hard fight, but it's easy to learn.
>>343483038
holy fuck i'm blind and honestly thought that looked like a nibblesnarf's head on a jho's body
>>343481558
>Gigginox will never come back
>Instead we're stuck with Khezu
>>343469656

>>343482139
I said as a party crasher you lobcock
>>343482139
Bullshit hitboxes shouldn't be the reason, you already had Rathalos's roar to stun and fireball to the face for that.

Good Sony's faggotry finally bit them in the ass when they made bullshit demands of the one dev who had no problem working with Nintendo instead.
>>343484862
This. Just got a new xl and it is so much better than a 2ds.
3000 hours of playtime, and the only two monsters that make me tremble with fear is 3U's Brachydios and this guy.
Thankfully Brachydios was nerfed to hell in 4U so he stopped being scary. Teostra is the opposite, like goddamn, I hate that time limit but it does make fighting this oppressive motherfucker way more terrifying.
>>343468721
You haven't lived until you go Lance against Brachy without taking a single hit. Shit feels fucking amazing.
>>343487493
Gunlance works surprisingly well too, but nothing beats the satisfaction of grabbing a hunting horn and knocking him the fuck out in recital mode.
>>343487365
How the fuck do you even fight this guy? Am I just supposed to memorize when his fuck-you explosion will go off?
>>343487680
Figure out something that works.
I'm an old hunter, back when there weren't any guides, so I had to make up my own hunting style. Generally I just back off after he's been enraged for a while, if I can remember to.
>>343487680
100 seconds from when he enrages, every time.
>>343487680
when i played i just used a timer on my phone to manage his supernova move. also used bioresearcher skill so i didnt have to worry about getting devastated when under blastblight status.
>>343480361
Garuga is pure horseshit in G Rank
Even before that it still suffers from wonky hitboxes and very little indication for what attack it's using next. Shit needs a revamp.
>>343487365
My biggest problemw ith Teostra is that I cannot fucking into fighting it with anything less mobile than a Greatsword for some reason.
>>343487365
i have like 400 lvl 140 gq teo hunts alone in mh4u and it just gets to the point where i prefer fighting him over any other lvl 140 gq because i know the entire fight on basically a muscle memory level. honestly teos the most fair lvl 140 fight because everything is extremely telegraphed outside of his charges, which you can avoid by not standing right next to him at the end of other attacks (why would you be doing that? it kills you in one hit dude).
ill never fucking understand lvl 140 rajang though.
>>343468309
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7BNkrjpDVg
>>343488453
The key to 140 Rajang is to not let him move ever.
>>343488453
Rajang isn't that bad though. His HP is shit. Jho on the other hand is a fucking sponge and don't get me started on Zinogre.
>>343488453
Rajang is bullshit because he actively defies the laws of physics where he can blanka ball and stop right before he hits the ground, float there and immediately shoot back up.
WE GOT SOMETHING CALLED INERTIA YOU FUCKING NIGGER MONKEY, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE FICTIONAL, YOU CAN'T IGNORE IT.
>>343482001
looks like he was trying to attack the other hunter tho.
>>343486476
>Horrible hunting flashbacks.
>>343488795
>>343488695
People say that because Rajang has been hunted to exinction in 4U because of guild quests.
I hope it gets removed in 5 and someone makes a joke about it.
>>343488868
He is. There's no such thing as "real living ecosystem" in the monsters AI.
>>343474643
I know, right? I don't usually upgrade from my base gear until Hi Rank at the earliest.
>>343468309
When Gogmazios spread his wings and started nuking everything I shit myself.
>>343488795
i have no idea why people did 140 jhos honestly. its like rajang but with 10x as much hp. i understand rajang is just a stupid dps check with trap abuse so you can end hunts in like 5 minutes and you sorta accept that he can kill you entirely on whim because of that. i like to try to solo 140s though and soloing 140 rajang is pretty much the most annoying thing on the planet. 140 jho is probably worse though but i havent tried because i would probably have to buy a new 3ds. zinogre honestly isn't shit compared to other monsters at 140, i also have a shitload of experience soloing him though so im probably biased.
>>343489226
Love fighting him for that attack alone. Fucker starts off like some giant Gore Magala/MUTO hybrid and then just turns into Gyaos when you get his health low enough. I'm half expecting Gamera to fly in and start blasting fireballs at him.
>>343489552
i dont like rajang because he hops around way to much. i spend more time running around waiting for openings and that just burns my wystone time, though this mostly applies to solo. plus the apex hitzones especially with the red arm factor are just annoying. i like jho because i can be on the offensive nearly the whole time under his belly by his feet.
>>343488695
This
Ideally you get a 4 man team and constantly trap the guy
>>343488453
If you know how to deal with 140 Rajang, he goes down much faster for the same amount of rewards.

They revamped garuga for 4th gen and that's exactly why it's so shit now.
It's first gen hitboxes were better and that's just insulting and further proof that 4th gen is mediocre at best.

Rajang.
Apex Rajang for even more terror.
>>343474207
Patience is key, rajang combo is a motherfucker.
Honestly had more trouble with black gravios g rank.
>>343487365
People had trouble with Teostra? It took me like like once to get him but after that he was a cake walk.
Same with Faltas. After the "Oh fuck what do I do," the first time I fought him you literally just stand behind his left leg and poke him in the thigh.
Shit was anti climatic.
So far, Rathalos, because he's a full fucking cuntsmobble that will follow and hound your ass for no fucking reason, while fleeing the area the second you even try to get a combo on him.
Also I'm growing to legitimately hate the Insect Glaive. 80% of the fucking fight is trying to get the fucking red and white essences, 15% of the fight is mounting just so you can get the fucking essences on half the fucking cast of monsters, and 5% actually being able to com--WHOOPS YOU ACCIDENTALLY NUDGED A BAD SPOT WITH THE TIP OF THE GLAIVE TIME FOR BOUNCE FUCKING CITY GOOD LUCK GETTING OUT OF THE ANIMATION LOOPS SPAM BECAUSE YOU PRESSED X A FEW TIMES NOT EXPECTING IT!
That's not even going into the literal fucking traphole the insects are. Raise it wrong? Scrap the fucking weapon completely and start over. Get ready to farm more nectars than necessary.
What the FUCK. I just want to use the glaive and combo in peace. Why the fuck this stupid shit. Please tell me Generations helps alleviate this
>>343490610
i guess i KNOW how to do lvl 140 rajang, i just don't like it because its just trap spam.
>>343490998
4th gen hitboxes are so fucking good dude. you don't remember original tigrex hitboxes do you? 4th gen's flagship, gore/shagaru magala, are so fucking good fights compared to any other flagship at release.
>>343492139
Generations lets you upgrade the bug and glaive separately from each other, but it's still one bug stuck to one glaive forever
Kinsects also have independent regular and elemental stats so you can't accidentally make your bug a gimp cripple by feeding him crappy element nectar instead of the good + shit anymore
One of the hunter arts throws your bug out to grab all three essences in one go, but you should probably git gud instead of relying on that
>>343492785
The problem is that in order for it not to be aids, I need to raise the bug.
But because I'm not in fucking G Rank, that means any and all nectars are a bad fucking thing, which means I'm going to have to scrap my glaives and remake them from the ground fucking up. Sure it'll be great at first, but once I actually hit G Rank, I have to throw it all in the trash and start the fuck over.
I don't mind having to get the essences. I mind when the only way to make it bearable prior to the end fucking game makes you have to start over because your performance is permanently gimped otherwise. That's fucking retarded.
>>343468309
If you're not just talking about Monster Hunter, Cryssalids in Xcom make me fucking shit myself if there's ever more than like 2 before I research Laser weapons.
If you aggro more than 2 at a time, you are super fucked 100% of the time without energy weapons, even on easy mode.
>>343493457
I did that exact same thing.
It takes barely any time, and if you have spare materials laying around, it becomes mildly inconvenient at the worst if you have to farm for shit (I had to farm some pale extract from a LR Khezu and it took less than 15 minutes to get 10 of them).
Just shove Speed nectar down their throat till they reach 114. By that time you should be able to get the right mats to make a proper one.
t. A Baguette Stick user from Day 1
>>343492508
Why are you talking about unrelated stuff? I'm talking about Garuga's 4th gen hitbox.
As far as overall hitboxes go they're the same "fixed" things since Tri.
>>343492508
I prefer lagi, seregios, zin and brachy by a long shot.
Magala was a disappointment, the whole edgy design, the forced storytelling and shagaru having those shitty RNG mines. Gore was just too easy, the only accomplishment I enjoy about it are the animations.
>>343493457
You're overthinking this anon, if you're not going to be using the glaive in G2/3 then you don't need to worry about prepping them for extender bugs since EE won't be available until then and once you reach that point your glaive will probably be outclassed by something better
Most of your early game glaives you can safely dump speed nectars of any kind into since it's the only important thing to have besides EE
Anyone play the Japanese version of the full game yet? I heard it's not nearly as good as 4U but I'm not sure if my friend was being a flaming idiot or was telling the truth.
>>343493846
>>343494061
Well, I guess that makes me feel a little better. Here I was agonizing over how infuriating hunts were despite them being anywhere from 18 minutes at worst possible on HR to 9.
Guess I'll just suck it up and take the plunge.
>>343468309
For me it's pink rathian. i don't even count how many times i carted against that pink pussy, and i'm well over 200 hours
>>343494205
How much you will enjoy X depends on which weapons you like to use
>>343494282
Another thing is that in X effect extender has been nerfed to only increase time by 50%, and only for triple ups
The pure speed bug seems to be the best choice now since speed is still the best stat, it has a double up version of the new EE, and makes white essence grants an additional 20% affinity
I play Lance. I've farmed a gq to 140 that had Apex Jho as the main monster. Now I know that doesn't seem like a big feat, especially since Lance is a good weapon to fight the big pickle, but there was another monster that happened to be there with him. A monster I had to kill every time before I fought Jho and I still cry thinking about this chore:Apex Yian Cut Cu. The endless tripping and spiral of rolley polleys. I'd rather fight with a group of SA and LS.
>>343494205
it's not bad, but the village quests are like 40% gathering quests. some of them specific, most of them they let you gather anything to get 5000 account points or something like that.
i solo'd pretty much all of the guild hall, the monsters are weak as hell i guess, except for the variants, which are pretty fucking strong and hit hard, starting from fucking azuros
>just unlocked variant azuros

>>343486034
Nintendo's bullshit seal of quality is better to work for then bullshit deadlines.
>>343495303
I went as far as I could, and man, this was night and fucking day. Sure it took 16 minutes to down HR Rathalos, but considering most of it was focusing on the tail instead of just killing him in hopes of a Ruby, it sure felt so much better being able to quickly and almost immediately double essence up and go murder mode with the Najarala Nail. Too bad it didn't paralyze him once, somehow. Still was infinitely better. Christ, I feel like an idiot for using an unfed bug this entire time.
Last one I played was MHFU, loved that game. Which one should I play next and where can I find it?
>>343496757
PSP has Portable 3rd which you can emulate
3DS has 3U, 4U, and MHGen
Wii U has 3U
>>343496757
not tri since online is deadand it's missing more than half its content because of it.
If you really want to go in order p3rd or 3U would be next. although p3rd is pretty short, easy and has no g-rank, it has some stuff that's missing in 3U so it's worth a shot.
3U has swimming, don't know how you will think about it, but most people hate it.I miss it
Or you just skip straight to 4U or gen.
>>343496757
emulating monster hunter 2 is charming but rough, you can also try monster hunter freedom 2, it's an expansion of 2 but they dropped the day night cycle and fixed them to specific quests, like the later games
>>343498164
>not tri since online is deadand it's missing more than half its content because of it.
Three monsters. Which you can play with the hacked iso that's been floating around since 2010.
Honestly, tri is the best emulatable MH that's not MHFU.
>>343488693
WAKE ME UP
>>343498714
Tri is the BEST emulated MH. FU is garbage by todays standards.
>>343468309
Same. I suck at fighting him and it doesn't help that he has much higher HP than the average monster. It also doesn't help that he's the game's default choice for monsters showing up in G-rank expeditions.
>>343498937
No it isn't. Though you have to play it on a PSP, sitting outside waiting for a bus while it's snowing for the full experience.
>>343498714
>Three monsters.
Well, and high rank. Village alone is a joke.
Didn't know about the hacked iso though.
Still, if he has a 3ds he should probably just go straight for 3u or 4u. or wait two weeks.
>>343468721
Fuck off, Brachy was one of the best fights in 3U and 4U. Nothing gets my heart pumping than his music and the sounds of explosions right beside my ears.
