Let me tell you, you should REALLY want to at least try sword 'n' board in MHGen. Blade oils are fucking insane, all of its arts are great, and the adept style lets the back evade become an adept dodge also.
I must be the only one

Newbie here. What's the appeal of Lance? It's like gunlance, but without the explosion.
>>337798215
When I played Hitman I thought it was some OC weapon they came up with just for the game, so stupid it looked.
>>337797737
Why would you need adept/bushido for sword and board? It doesn't have survivability issues. Unless the dodge attack is strong. I'm thinking of trying it out with striker style to spam more hunter arts.

>Tzzz...
So fucking satisfying.

Better mobility, better defence and counter-attacks, better accuracy/options in where you want to attack. Lance also has faster stabs, and Gunlance shelling will eat up your sharpness quickly.
Time slicing sword that's 190 centimeters long
>>337798691
Why is a gunlance shooting and HAMMER cost you sharpness anyway.
>>337797432
>>337797737
>Adept/Bushido
Nah. Striker + Exhaust and Affinity Coatings are where it's at for MHGen SnS due to how exhaust is actually useful now.

>>337798325
With evade + 3, you're practically invulnerable during the entirety of the small lance backhop animation in mh4u. Hence, you can triple backhop through just about anything and set up for another attack.
Also, gunlance shelling doesn't scale with raw (I think)
>>337798489
You don't need it, but it's fun to try out as, aside from CB, it's the only weapon with two adept factors, and in fact can do both at any time unlike CB which needs to change modes. Plus yeah, that adept backdodge is fairly strong. I think it's something like 40+? I could be wrong.
>>337798325
As of MHGen, it doesn't have the heat management mechanic, meaning it's simpler. Furthermore, you can do a lot more with your shield with the lance - you have countering, shield advances, shield bashes. Also, without arts, the Lance is a hell of a lot more mobile than the Gunlance, being able to chain up to three backhops, plus it has the jousting charge.
On top of that, it doesn't make too much difference, but it also has the "piercing" mechanic which modifies your damage very slightly if you attack an area where impact would do significantly more damage than cut.
>>337798820
Yeah, I'm aware, but even so it's worth it to try every style out for yourself, if only to find a play style that suits you better or to know what the game offers.
I feel like Striker SnS should have removed the A combo just to keep balanced with the other styles.
Hunting Horn is without a doubt the best weapon.

Only thing it needs is a burst ability like Wyvern Fire. It would be pretty overpowered if it had that, but it does suck a bit not having a big attack to wake monsters up with. Thinking of trying out Switch Axe on my new hunter but it's hard to adjust to the move/attack speed after HH.
>>337798820
Does anybody actually use striker for the hunting arts or they just stack three absolute evades?
>>337798789
In real life, firing bullets does in fact degrade the rifling of the barrel. As for hammer, if you look at their models, you'll notice some of them have a blunt/shallow point. I like to think of the point as the thing being sharpened.
>>337799001
I run Striker with That Uppercut, can't recall the name, then Circular Force and Absolute Evade. Circular Force has I-Frames and it charges very fast so I always have 1 Art up to negate any damage I might take.
>>337798691
>>337798930
>>337799062
I'm actually Insect Glaive user, still training to get the essence more accurately. I think using the pheromone shot will be easier, but the guide says only idiot do it.Ex-Bow user too, why is bow damage so low? I think I hunt large monster 2-3 faster than using bow.
>>337797737
Havnt played Gen, but I do enjoy sns in 4u, it's a fun weapon. Also glad to hear that is pretty top tier weapon in Generations.
>>337799001
SnS has some powerful arts. The Shoryuken as you saw in the video has no problems knocking out monsters along with the exhaust coatings, and the roundslash is like a moment of invincibility that recharges fast. I'm not so sure about the combo's usefulness but I take it that the combat evade is a good option over 4U's backhop that gets gutted when using Striker.
It also depends on the weapon, Charge Blade now has the absolute worst Guild style in the game but Striker and Adept add in new guardpoints.
>>337799324
I'm well aware of CB's situation in MHX...
I think I'm gonna go Bushido Bow when Generations are out. Always dabbled in Bow, but now I think is a good time to main it.
Where my musicians at?
>>337799676
literally my fave since it came out
>>337799515
That's funny, somebody said to me that former CB users from 4U gravitate towards Adept Bow in MHX/Gen. I guess it's true after all.
The fall from grace aside, I still haven't seen footage of Adept CB which on paper seems to address whatever fucked it up a little. I might give it a shot, but hearing how the game is anal about giving the player money to work with sounds like a bit of a letdown.
Will probably default to Guild GS/SA or something, I heard the former is relatively mid-tier now (even if weapon balance is supposedly better overall) but whatever hits it took can't be too bad. Aerial GS and SA look like spammy fuckfests.
>>337799676
It's a weapon I'd love to use more often, but the moveset feels really simple and not as satisfying as other weapons.
>>337799296
I heard Bushido bow is absolutely monstrous in MHGen.
As for essence extraction, yes, as long as the hitbox you want to hit is on the same horizontal axis as you, it's just much simpler to send the insect out in a straight line and get it back. If your insect is fast enough, it's just a straight ranged attack, really. Much easier than having to tag something with pheromone first. Note that your insect flies straight out in the direction your hunter is facing.
However, there are times when you need pheromone shot. Examples include red from dala's head, which otherwise, is so fucking high you can't reach it consistently, or Apex Diablos's horns, which is the only area you can get red from without drive.
Hence, you need to get comfortable with both.
>>337799676
Right here baby
>>337800052
The moveset is simple but it relies so much on accurate usage of the moveset that it gains a lot of depth from that. Wacking them right in the head with the thing is so fucking satisfying anyway.
>>337800052
You can look up Chris' videos. He still uses CB in X. Just not Narga videos. Narga is like THE tutorial monster for CB.

>yfw enhanced notes in MHGen
>hitting a monster will enhance the note that's played during that move
>playing a song composed entirely of enhanced notes will encore the previously-played song at the same time
My only gripe is that its selection of arts is a teensy bit lacklustre.
>>337800786
>>hitting a monster will enhance the note that's played during that move
Oh god that is great. That is how I have been playing all this time already.
Also if I wanted to farm distorted charms NOT GRAVEN CHARMS how would I do that?
>>337800786
Tell me about HH in MHGen. I haven't even looked into it, that sounds interesting as fuck though. What are the weapon arts? I'm really glad they've been moving farther away from HH being a support weapon and more of a big club with great group benefits.
>>337800309
I suppose there's also satisfaction in pulling off buffs for yourself or the team in the midst of combat.
>>337801016
Gaijinhunter has a video on them, skip to 8:50

Only one of them seems to be very useful

Thanks anon

Oh fuck I remember this son of a bitch in Dreadlocked/Gladiator
Quick off topic question:
What is the best MH that isnt on Wii (e.g. Ps2, PSP) so i can emulate it?
>>337802387
I love p3rd and psp emulation is great.
You have to get a fan translation though.
And freedom obviously is great but it is a little old now.
>>337802604
**Freedom Unite
JE SUIS MONTÉ
>>337802387
Try either Freedom Unite or Portable 3rd w/ translation patch on PPSSPP. Funny enough, the PS3 HD port of the latter works on it.
Give 3DS emulation some more time and that'll open up 3U, 4U, and Generations.
With Nintendo WFC being kill, monsters like Deviljho can't even be hunted anymore in Tri anyway.
>>337802685
Pardon...
>>337802604
I heard online play with PPSPP still booming, is that true?
>>337798794
How do I get good like this?
>>337803029
There are probably tons of small gatherings of people playing it together, but I don't know any large collection.
I know a few folks in /mhg/ like to go through the FUn every now and then.
>>337803201
Well first you'd need access to Frontier.
>>337803201
1st you have to play Frontier.
And 2nd, that's not that great.
He doesn't use the fade slash to dodge through attacks or follow up from fade to charge for extra kick on the attack.
That and he shouldn't have to pull so far from the monster, especially since the SAF has a double side-step now.
You could press a hell of a lot harder with Heaven style than that especially against Gold Ian.
>>337802604
>>337802769
Thanks. Technical stuff really isnt a difficulty. I just want to play MH on a Big PC screen. Fucking 3DS is killing my eyes.
>>337803954
You could always mail off your N3DS to get a video out port.
>>337803982
you're raifu is shit
>>337803954
Then you should definitely emulate the ps3 version of p3rd with PPSSPP
Best looking you can get on pc outside of Monster Hunter Online. (which is shit don't bother with it)
>>337803954
Funny, I've always been playing MH4U on a non-XL N3DS and I've just gone to playing 3U on the Wii U and found the HUD elements tiny as fuck.
>>337804009
1. I´m way too lazy for that.
2. Not sure if the resolution will be so great using this method.
>>337804107
Already on it, Mang!
I want to play some online, but afraid of being laughed being such newbie player. Are the online player being cunt normal?on hacked 3ds anyway.
GOAT WEAPON COMING THROUGH
>>337804347
There is a prepatched p3rd in the Monter hunter general pastebin.
I tried posting it but it tells me that my post is spam
I just like massive shields
>>337797432
epic!
>>337803954
>One day drag my desktop out to play MH on a 65" TV
Pure bliss.
>>337800786
>>hitting a monster will enhance the note that's played during that move
>>playing a song composed entirely of enhanced notes will encore the previously-played song at the same time
Any monster or just the big monster?
So could I clean up lets say all the fucking Rhenoploth and still get the bonus?
>>337805453
If IG can extract essences, LS and DB can fill their meters, and CB can obtain charge from small monsters, I'd imagine so.
>>337797962
Turok?
>tfw no mh4u on vita
>>337804394
You'll probably be the one laughing at others. As long as you don't cart every single quest and actually deal damage to the monster you'll be fine.
>>337804394
Well, we were all shit at the game at one point. Most people you'll find recognize this feel. As long as you're contributing to the hunt without disrupting others and know what to do (like no trapping elder dragons since that's impossible), you will be fine.
I must say that hunting with /v/ is actually chill as fuck, in contrast to all the weapon and platform wars and other shitflinging that happen here. It is a much less frustrating experience than playing with randoms if you can get the people.
