I ended up only getting past Shagaru Magala in MH4U, got stuck on Pink Rath.
Is it worth trying to finish up more of MH4U? Or just move on.
I always do this with MH games, did the same thing with Freedom 1, 2, and Unite. Any other anons get fatigued with this series?

if you can't beat pink rath then you'll miss out on half of MHGen's contentif it makes you feel better pink rath isn't in the game, but a worse version of her is in the endgame
someone make a room
>>344233482
>Is it worth trying to finish up more of MH4U? Or just move on.
Most of us are going to move on to MHG. By the time you finish 4U, there's a risk that most of us will drop MHG. So it's on you.
>>344233834Is she worse than Gold Rathian

>>344232139
>they held most solo kill records in 4U
Are you 100% serious? I could never kill shit with the bow past Caravan 10. I love the bow to death, but I'm trash with it.
I tend to use bows in MH, how are they in generations?
>>344235087
how? literally all you do it shoot it while staying moderately close, you have almost no downtime after firing
the only reason they do so well is because you can always hit the weakpoint, especially on gogmazios and the like
>>344235087
solo kill records with bow are done in double heroics mode with unending headshots
you have to be really good
>>344235087
Maybe against non-140 GQs. I tracked only 140 GQ times and bows weren't the top.
>>344235389
Oh wait a minute, I have to add that the speedrunner site didn't allow heroics like >>344235374 mentions.
>>344231328
Anyone know a great way to get a new 3DS cheaper than full retail price? Thinking about grabbing one for the new MH coming out.
>>344235490
refurbished off nintendo website
you could also try craigslist if you don't mind getting murdered
>>344234806
Why do you hate it?
Disregarding RNG stuff like the guild quests and relics 4U had the most balanced and fun gameplay by far with the most monsters
If you don't like the direction 4U took the series youre gonna hate Gen
>>344235649
I prefer fighting with the cats rather than playing with others. I don't have friends that play MH and playing with randoms is mostly miss rather than hit for me.
>>344235040
>azure los is worse than silver los to be quite honest (tbqh)
Not if you're a Hammer user. Fuck that infinite hard head.

>Monster Selection
I realize Gen 1 will forever be lauded by Capcom, but the newer monsters may as well be nonexistent. Gravios and his army of skeletons being in but not some monsters like Narga is some shit, too
>Mounting is some shit
At least X/Generations increases the threshold before mounting so it'll be less prevalent.
>RNG bullshit
I know you brought this up, but I'm not playing MH for Diablo-tier loot, and it sucks that whenever people support the game's longevity, they mostly attribute it to the repetitive GQs and RNG relics. I may as well boot up FFXIV (or any MMO for that matter).
Most of the gripes I can think of off the top of my head. Game doesn't sit right with me for some reason, and I certainly don't feel satisfied with just these complaints here.

>tfw will never get this as collaboration armor.
literally perfect for monster Hunter.
>>344237494
Gen is like 70% 4U maps with a couple of early maps and moga woods.
And endgame revolves mostly on 4u maps.
>>344238159
Ah, well japed, then
>>344238343
No, please, continue to dissuade me from playing Gen.Seriously, it'll give me all the more reason to just go play the other games.

I'd play it.
>>344239164
Then just use a bunch of them.
So these built in bowgun ammo types, are they any good? In the demo they have stone shot, demon, armor, and recovery built in. Demon and armor built in are nice. I never wasted bag space on them before, might actually use them now. How strong is stone shot compared to normal level 2?

If we get a Pokemon-themed MH clone, I'm willing to bet that it would be about controlling dressed up Pokemon to beat up bigger ones or something. Ninty/GF/Creatures would probably hate seeing Pokemon getting beaten up by humies unless it's in Smash.

Too bad Striker Lance is used for constantly just charging and poking since charge pokes are fucking 70MV.
>>344240320
To be fair, Narga is 100x cooler than Rathalos.
>>344239016
Pokemon is trash for kids. Please fuck off and go shill MH stories elsewhere.
>>344240271
Because it's such a buildup to the good ones.
And I usually get burnt when farming early monsters to get full sets.
I don't know.
>>344239937
But that would require people to murder pokemon and maim them while they're at it
>>344239164
Same, I finally settled into SA after a while with 4U but it seems like they totally fucked that one up now and my secondary CB got the expected nerf into the ground. I'd go with hammer but it just doesn't satisfy me in the way blowing my huge phial load all over a monster for the kill used it.
>>344240419
depends on weapon. db is fine with guild, though adept makes you literally invincible if you know the monster well enough.
>>344235186
Guild bow is better than ever. Backhopping twice in a row while holding the charge button will give you an instant LV3 charge, ALL bows have power AND arc shots, and there's lv1 and lv2 power coatings, plus lv1 and lv2 element boost coatings.
But everyone goes Adept since it's the piss easy baby mode version of the bow.
>>344240419
You'll need to look at video tutorials for each weapon to find out what each style takes away
Guild is (almost) no changes from 4U
>try adept GS
>think it'll suck

>>344240686

>>344240836
I thought I was going to hate Aerial GS, but I think it's my favorite way to use GS now.
That unsheathe attack is too fun
>>344241013
already started before you posted
>>344240419
Adept makes you fucking invincible, as if you dodge any part of an attack with a demon dodge you turn into a whirling missile of death, refill some Demon Gauge, and get two free demon dashes by holding a direction. Shit's completely whack in a good way.
Basically if you're more interested in maneuverability and slashing around then go with Adept. Striker is for if you're a dash juice junkie.
>>344240937
Every style tends to change just one or two moves for each weapon but it's still enough to need to look it up to know how to use it.
>Swaxe is my spirit weapon
>feels like a part of my arm when I use it

I fucking hate this.
>>344240836
Adept GS is amazing, I mean that's all you do as GS. Charge and dodge.. It gives you like an innate evade +2 and lets you do some sick attack. It's probably the best GS style.
Also while we're talking about weapon styles..
>Lance: Striker > Aerial >>> Adept > Guild
>Hammer: Guild > Aerial >>> Adept > Striker
>Switchaxe: Striker > Aerial >>> Adept > Guild
>>344236972

>>344241280
Vertical sword slashes used to be just X, man.
>just keeps getting better as games go on
Not if you're someone who actually cares about Axe Mode, sadly. The motion values for Axe Mode have been gutted consistently over time. I appreciate the roll into upswing and the finisher, and you know what I appreciate the motion value buffs and improvements to the finisher in Gen's axe mode. Sadly, axe mode is pretty much completely fucking useless in Gen as literally everything focuses on the sword. Have 2+ arts? Infinite Demon Riot Energy Charge. Aerial? Sword gets a swing on the way up. Adept? Demon Riot closes the gap in power between the axe finisher and the sword double upswing, plus the latter is far less disruptive online.
>>344241710
Maybe.
I might go back if I find a group though.
Until then I'll just keep fucking around with steam sale shit until I find the urge to try again.

>>344244242
well i mean. it is an improvement. now that i think about it, it might be hard to get the colors off of him
>>344244030
You lose the ability to freely call back your insect, which is pretty crippling.
>>344244242
>still slower than palico
Man, how the mighty have fallen. What's worse, the nerf probably won't even weed out the je suis montes. They will just go aerial IG and do the same thing over and over again.
>>344243292
Did you guys make it in this time? I got in briefly then disconnected again. Maybe I was making everyone dc somehow
>>344244386
Extract Hunter III makes that not exactly much of an issue.
>>344244030
Adept IG has the bug have NO stamina. Which means you can't recall it. It'll limp over to you, or you need to go over to it.
On the flip side, you can perform an attack after an Adept dodge that makes the bug attack in concert with your stick, stealing juice from whatever part of the monster you attack and dealing extra damage.
It's honestly not that crippling once you put time into figuring it out, it's just a little slower, and not even by that much as proven by being fewer than 40 seconds off of the latest speedkill.
>>344243307
Guard points now continue on with animation that triggered them. Heavier attacks will do the push back and cancel your attack. If you use the morph to axe guard point you'll guard the attack and keep going with the axe morph.
>>344244242
So it takes 10th place now. That's a nice improvement.

Adept DB is pretty simple. Simple dodge into the monster's ass every chance you get. Good damage and it fills your demon gauge. Whirlwind of death and it feels fucking great.
>>344246706
I can see why that would be an issue. Still, shit was great. I'm amazed we got even one KO with only two cats.
>>344246912

>>344247028

People were talking about shit performance on the old 3DS, but I just played the demo online and shit was perfectly fine.
Is it people justifying paying 200$ for another 3DS?
>>344247028
My only regret was that we were not able to kill it with a Kitty Bomb.
>>344247346
It plays perfectly fine but people get autistic about it, it's no different than anything else on /v/. Though MH Gen is capped at 30fps while 4U is 60 fps. As in if there's no other monsters onscreen it's silky smooth but as soon as one pops up shit drops to 30-40.
>>344247346
Shitposter kun, people are complaining that MHGen doesn't run as good as MH4U on the n3ds, not the other way round.
>>344247561
I actually liked those frame drops on monster spawn since it made me aware that my quest or everwood run had an intruder.
>>344247497
I was more upset I didn't have enough meter leftover for a post-hunt jihad. I've made it a point to allah ackbar every slain monster I can so not doing it leaves me feeling empty.
>join a public room

>the demo kicks everyone out after the quest is done
Why does it have to be this way? That narga had bad luck.
>>344241937
As another swaxe user I was kinda salty about how the axe mode was better than the sword mode. Why have sword mode on a timer if it's not the more powerful mode? It's a shame that they went full retard the other direction and gave you infinite sword mode with your sword mode power up.

I've been looking for this thank you.
HH feels slightly different.
Why do I sometimes make double notes?
Why do my recitals sometimes have two effects?Am I retarded?
>>344252584
Maybe.
They changed HH so that now when you actually hit monsters you make a double note.
A full song of double notes will play the song twice, or play the current song and the previous song at the same time
>>344252584
A note becomes a double note if you hit the monster with it.
If you play an entire song with double notes, you play the current song as well as encoring the last song you played.Yes
>>344251351
Fatalis can be KO'd, it's just highly unlikely because most of the time he's standing on his hind legs.

What determines a stun with the hammer and hunting horn? Is it based on how many times I hit the monster on the head overall, or is it about consecutively hitting the monster on the head?
>>344253053
If you want to play online even a little bit, yes, get Generations while it's new and the community is at its peak.
If you don't have online access or absolutely don't want to play online then 4U will be cheaper and relatively easy to get into.
>>344253124
I prefer more of the male armor designs
I wish Capcom would just let us completely change our characters after we've already started the game, though, because I like some of the female designs more.

Hunting parties have a limit of three deaths shared between all four players. So long as you don't die three times and single-handedly ruin everything for everybody else, you'll be fine. You may have heard that the gear grind is harsh in this game but to get acceptable stuff, especially early game, it's really not.
Plenty of other people work, too. You won't lack for people to play with. Even the much older games still have SOME people around.

Use a save editor.
I got tired of my huntress' voice about 500 hours in and used a save editor to change it.
>>344254597I got a Lens on my very first G-Rank Steve kill.
Really, cases like yours, while unfortunate, are out of the ordinary. For nearly all rare drops in 4U I got it within, like, five kills. The rates are really not bad because you don't have a 2-3% chance per kill, you have a 2-3% chance per item roll. It could be MUCH worse.

>>344256776
Attack up will always be useful and worth the slot
We got pretty dicked on Hunter Arts though
They're pretty much all useless
>>344256776
Yeah, everything for HH sucks but it's not like no one expected it.
>>344256776
The arts and and styles are eh, but the double notes are great.
If only the demo HH had Attack up songs.
>>344257460
Everything in the demo dies easy anyway, it's not like it's necessary.
>>344257460
The HH Hunter Arts don't seem worth it at all. Even Harmonize seems kind of meh because it takes a few seconds to execute and I really shouldn't be missing that often.
I'm probably going to just end up using two of the general Hunter Arts. I'm thinking about the Evade one so I can avoid wombo combos and maybe one of the healing ones just for the utility.
>>344257195
I did it all the way up into High Rank. Just don't expect worthwhile armor skills and you're golden. Each piece actually has 10 more defense than normal so you'll actually be harder to kill as well.

It's funny because Dreadking Rathalos is easily my favorite redesign of the Los set, comes with a baller ass cape, and is pretty much tailor made for my hunting preference of aerial GS.

Is there anywhere I can find videos of some of these speedrun times for the various weapons?
I think it'd be interesting to see what kind of sets they use and how they play with some of the weapons I've never tried out before.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't a youtube or nico channel with some of this stuff uploaded.

In MHGen? I can tell you without the videos they all use Silver Los/Viking set.
Super Crit and WE is the new meta.
There's also plenty of jap videos on youtube as well.
We need one more dude for bat cat slaying!
>>344258974
room?
>>344258329
There was a channel that uploaded various speedruns from niconico, but it got taken down so now you have to find them individually
You'll see a lot of silver sol mixes for weakness exploit, super critical, razor sharp, etc., or los EX mixes with the Akantor R boots and gloves for weakness exploit, attack up, heat adaptation, and blunt benefit in appropriate zones
You'll see some people talk about how great deviant sets are but since they have no slots it's difficult to stack offensive skills on them and speedrunners have largely left them behind as a result

>>344258834
>>344259175
What about HGE?
>>344260202
Absolute Evades and Adept rolls/guards mitigate the problem somewhat.
Dreadking Rathalos armor is probably something you could use if you do need HGE.
>>344260202
No need for that, since everyone has absolute evade at the ready at all times.
Maybe on a CB set, because it doesn't benefit from crit all that much, and you can't GP->AED roars anymore. So you have to awkwardly walk up to the monster in axe mode and press X+A.
>>344231328
Why has MH just not felt the same since F F2 and FU?
It's not the controls, I'm adaptable, it's just it feels like it gets more dilute each release.
If you didn't play FU you're literally a babby, go play it right now.
>>344249908
Not him, but I have the MH 3DS and a Vita, I'd still prefer MH on vita. The Vita would just suit the game so much better. The online would be infinitely better, controls would be superior with 2 sticks, higher resolution.
I love my 3DS but it's not suited to MH.
>>344260368
FU had absolutely shit balance and hitboxes, now that you're playing something fairly balanced with decent hitboxes it just doesn't feel like that unfair dick game that keeps trying to fuck your ass
Someone post the TA chart with all the weapons
>>344260202
There's not that many important monsters in X with high grade roars that can't be dealt with through blocking, absolute evading, adept evading, etc., but there's some people who use dreadking rathalos to deal with it
Expect to hunt a lot of rathalos in this game
>>344260367
It's easy to just GP, overhead, and follow up with a round swing in the same way that you would AED punish before
>>344249908
>>344260550
Supposedly the original vitanon actually got a 3DS. But he still wishes it was on Vita.
>>344260352
>>344260367
>>344260685
Oh good point about absolute evading roars.
>>344260685
Takes more, and most importantly does less damage/KO. Motion value for the round swing got nerfed hard and does twice less damage than before, it's practically useless. Coupled with increased stagger thresholds, that will probably not flinch the monster most of the times, and you'd be open for the monster to attack after the roar.
Reminder that if you didn't beat Monster Hunter in FU you suck at the entire series.
>>344260647
You went right past >>344239961 and >>344244242
>>344260368
Older games were slower and more mechanical. Every button press was really deliberate. If you didn't watch the monster carefully and learned exactly how it moved you would get fucked in a corner and killed. But once you learned it, you could predict exactly what the monster would do and slaughter it.
Newer games are faster and more organic. There's much larger and more diverse movesets, so it's harder to predict exact monster behavior. You have room to make a lot more mistakes, but mistakes are easier to make.
Technical memorization vs action and reaction.
>>344261218
Maybe I'm a scrub for preferring the slower feel then. I dunno.
>>344260851
Why are there only 3 monsters? The funny thing is I can't tell if there's selection bias in these 3 monsters, because there's such a mix of positions. Look at the weapons with the best timings, which is Lance, SA, HBG, DB and GS. Lance has 1, 1 and 10, SA has 2, 3 and 6, HBG has 2, 3 and 14. DB has 2, 4 and 12. GS has 1, 3 and 5.
The only hidden agenda I can think of behind the original compiler's intention when creating this list is to show that contrary to popular notion, GS is still one of the strongest weapons, and he selected the 3 monsters with the fastest GS timings.
>>344261372
Nah. Though I prefer the newer game style in a long-term co-op time-sink, both have great merit. I started with Freedom 1 and even with all of its faults and aggravations it was an incredible, unique experience.
>>344261446
Those are the most popular monsters to speedrun. I want to know if there's some kind of speedrun table around for many more, though.
>jew uragaan's IG is a goddamn gem knuckled fist on a stick
>220 raw, green sharpness
>completely outclassed by the easy as fuck to make cephalos IG
What were they thinking?
>>344261846
I suppose it can charge arts faster, but if it's inferior in every other way then I suppose it's not worth it at all
>>344261446
Oh shit the answer is that on the Japanese speedrunning site where the original compiler took these times, these 3 monsters are the only 3 with records from all weapons.
>>344261709
There is, but not from all weapons.
>>344261846
They weren't
The weapon selection is just as bad if not worse than in 4U but because every weapon can be upgraded to a lvl10 even though most are all just interior to other weapons people still act like gen is some amazing thing.
>>344261589
I really harbor a little resentment at capcom for not latting us transfer characters from 3-4-G.
I think that is part of what made F F2 and FU so great.
>>344262145
I would have preferred the G weapons from FU
I'm not sure why that system never came back
>>344262273
FU felt like another step towards the perfect MH game, and each one since has felt like a sidestep.
Not worse, per say, but a little off course.
>>344262258
Transfer characters? I don't recall that.
mh5u when
>>344262485
FU was literally F2 with G rank, so if you had an F2 save it could be copied over to keep your progress
4 and 4G had the same thing, but the west only ever got 4G/U

Lel 3 years away tbqhwyfam
>>344262429
Sluts.
>>344262485
You could bring your character from Freedom, to Freedom 2, to Unite.
Essentially you kept any 1-3Rarity items. Anything above that, and all your gear was sold for zeni. You'd then be given "tickets" for some of your gear that could be exchanged for gear a little better than what is available at the start. Kinda like a boost. So instead of having to start with Iron Ore armor, you'd get a set from one of the 1 or 2 star monsters in exchange for tickets. Same with weapons.

>Is she worse than Gold Rathian
I fucking loved fighting metal raths in Freedom Unite. Their weak spots made GS a great pick, and the fight was really dynamic.
>>344266305
When ever is GS not a great pick?
It's basically the easy mode of MH.
>>344234385
"strong Rathian with harder head" is not as hard as "everything Rathian does is toxic poison"
>>344266123
Dunno, I just got the demo a few hours ago.
Of course, the first weapon I tried was my main.
>>344266417
>want to pick up GS
>almost too dedicated to hammer and lance to relearn an entire weapon again
I should just do it if I want those good times
>>344266305
If I recall correctly, in FU, metal raths still had their head as an impact weakspot. It was fun killing them then.
Then P3rd came, and metal rath took such pathetic damage that hammers became suboptimal against them. Actually, after P3rd, hammers, due to their inflexibility (HEAD ONLY), were never strong again.
>>344266637
GS it's pretty easy
charge x3 if have a good attack window or unseathe attack if you don't
Once you learn the monsters to heart you can start charging to hit them mid attack/turn and shit
Aerial style seems too dangerous for me to use in serious hunts. I know it has that E+2 when you footstool but I still feel like I'm left vulnerable for way too long. Losing the basic roll and jumping into attacks I could have evaded doesn't help. With mounting so much harder to pull off now it doesn't seem worth the risk.
Maybe I just have to work with it more and get used to it.
>>344267091
how is aerial hammer?
it sounds awesome but I don't have the demo
>>344266668
It wasn't their weakest point, but the metal raths were really vulnerable to impact in general back then, only their backs and tails had impact hitzones lower than 40
Now we have ferocious metal raths with even further inflated health pools and frontier sized fireballs
>>344267028
That is by far my favorite part of hammer is pre-positioning myself to get the level 2/3 charge or the golfswing and really getting into the rhythm of the fight. I've heard a lot of people say that monsters are paced to fit GS a lot of the time, maybe it'll be kind of the same way
>>344267185
IT'S TIME
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfAF_FLEVfA
>>344267091
No, you're pretty much right. Aerial is the je suis monte shitter bait style, aerial GS in particular, and speedrunners consider it a joke.
>>344267280
that looks super rad holy shit!
>>344253124
I was gonna go male hunter again because I went female in 4U, but with how many online hunters are male I figure it's good to give the female outfits a show.
Some of them are pretty fucking cute.
>>344267746
I've kept my character as close to the same as possible ever since Freedom. I always felt like with a few notable exceptions the female armor looked cooler.
Killing that owl made me feel bad.
It doesn't help that Bravely Default music is playing in the background.
>>344238307
Not impossible they'd put out alpha and omega though, we still wouldn't get it though
where the hell is the CIA
>>344232574
This forever. I never really cared about the DB, but I might consider maining them this time around.
Mained HH in 4U, but I feel like picking up Bow in MHG because of trying out the Steve bow.
How good is Bow now?
MH5 can't come soon enough fuck
>>344254991
Just the way I like it
>>344270976
You could kill monsters with those boots
What weapons make good use of aerial?
How is DB this time around? I ignored it all 4U and want to give it a college try.
>>344270186
Steve's weapons aren't nearly as good this time around.
That being said, Bow got some good buffs and adept is very very good.
>>344271216
I would say the best weapons for Aerial are Greatsword, Hammer, Insect Glaive and Heavy Bowgun
Greatsword can pull off super quick level 3 charges, which if done correctly you can pull them off in succession. They lose regular ground charges though
Hammer can only pull off level 2 charges but they can also do the double mid-air bopper which kicks the shit out of monsters. Their R charge on the ground becomes an uppercut but I don't remember the rest.
Insect Glaive doesn't really lose much from Guild, and in return, its pole vault move is modified to be super fast and horizontal if it's held forward. Their aerial attack is the red juiced version by default, and red juiced aerial is a cartwheel attack that hits several times.
HBG just spams this shit, which the file is LBG but HBG does the same thing, soalso I recall something about being able to roll out of sentry mode really easily in aerial
>>344271440
Also the hammer thing, I meant this about aerial charge, as they don't stay in the air long enough to do a level 3 charge.
>>344271216
Aerial Swaxe gets a free hit on rebound
>>344271687
I'm not a fan of Aerial Swaxe because the discharge isn't done in mid-air. It's started, sure, but you stand on the ground for 90% of it anyways so what's the point
>>344271440
It's important to note than Aerial GS charges are only 75% as strong as regular guild style charges. So it's not quite as amazing as it seems.
>>344271272
Speaking of the Steve weapons, is the LBG still okay, at least?
>good buffs
Like what, anon?
I'm interested.
>>344272162
They're easier to hit with for me so they're 100% more strong than Guild charges where I'll miss 90% of the time because I'm bad at reading
>>344272195
power coatings got split into 2 levels and every bow gets power and arc shot now
in adept you only lose arc shot and when you dodge you automatically get a level 3 charge
>>344270976
sucks that the armor was complete ass
Am I free to attack a monster being mounted now or are they still at risk for being smacked off
>>344272391
Attacking actually helps bring it down now
>>344238307
Hibiki would be a better fit, theme-wise.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1lJnQOK24Q
Shogun Hermitaur getting his shit rekt here.
>>344272391
You can attack freely now however attacks won't do any damage and will simply build the boost meter.
So you're probably still better off sharpening or healing.
>>344272290
>split into 2 levels
I feel like that just means level 2 would be what was normal back then and level 1 is weaker.
Please prove me wrong.
>>344235521
limiter removal is gone for HBG, but striker removes siege mode if you like that playstyle. I'll play adept before I unlock evade armor skills but I'm looking forward to running all the 'buff' hunter arts on striker. Absolute evade is actually really nice too, since the battle one is a free reload.
>>344267185
>how is aerial hammer?
like fuckin heaven mate
seriously satisfying
>>344272827
It is.
But it does mean that you've got an additional pool of weaker coatings to use rather than simply firing blanks.
>>344273103
True, I didn't think of that.
Does it also mean you have 4 times the possible number of coatings if you bring combine materials?sorry if i'm asking too many questions
>>344252851
>call walmart in my area

I've never tried CB when I played MH4U, but I think I'd like to try and get into it in MHGen. Any short bullet point pros and cons for the different Styles and what are some armor skills I'll want to keep an eye out for?
>>344275264
Adept. Dodge into X-R-R all day.
>>344235521
Aww man, SA sounds boring as fuck.
>>344275381
Bad timing. CB playstyle got gutted in MHX. You really should try using it in 4U at some point, just to realize how perfect it was.
Anyway

Aerial is quite shit for CB imo, Adept is the most pleasant to use, if such a word can be applied to MHGen CB at all, but Striker gets an extra 5% attack bonus to Axe attacks, so potentially it's a bit stronger in terms of DPS.
>>344242010
>>344242617
Personally I find it more intuitive in Tri and Generations, since X handles the vertical attacks and A handles the horizontal attacks.
>>344276295
CB is much better in X.
It feels more like a monster hunter weapon, waiting for the right opportunity. Mastering the CB in 4U made the game too easy, GPS into AEDs was way too good.
Now GPs require you to have an end plan, the real shitters are the ones that can't adapt.
I think I may have been mega baited.
>>344242617
I think the old layout makes more sense, different buttons for different slashes makes more sense.
>>344276610
t. GS shitter
>>344274525

fug it was for this guy>>344275264
So if i use my powershot as a bow user after a charge 3 does it become 4? Or if im using load will a 4 charge become a "5" charge? Or does it cap at your highest available charge?
Which Monhun is the best to emulate?I wanna play some before my3dsarrives
>>344278180
No, it doesn't upgrade the shot above what the bow can actually use.
If you use it after a lvl 2 charge it becomes lvl 3, but that would be a waste of that first shot.
BUT you can skip straight to lvl 3 power shot from lvl 2 charge and save the charging time, in case you don't have a very small time window and probably couldn't fit in a normal lvl 3charge.
>>344278285

TIPS FOR A BEGINNER BOW USER?
I'm going to train with in mh4u to try and get useed to the controls
I've never usd a ranged weapon before
>>344278508
Thanks,friend
>>344278776
Despite being ranged weapons bows and bowguns still must stay pretty close to the monster, just not point blank, like blademasters.
Learn the critical distance for the shot types. It's not as tight as some people make it out to be.
Bow is the easiest gunner weapon to get into for a BM. It has infinite ammo, but has a limited number of coatings. Power coatings are a big deal, since they add 50% more raw damage.
Most monsters have their head hanging low enough for you to be able to shoot them without having to manually raising your aim up. Just move the stick in the monsters direction and release the arrow as its turns around towards you.
>>344241280
I actually prefer it that way. Much easier to combo.
>>344242010
>that design
Hnnnnng
>>344279263
Ceadeus axes are the best.
Mainly use LS. Adept LS was FUN. Aerial IG was FUN. Striker SnS was FUN. What should I play next for more FUN?
>>344279142
>Most monsters have their head hanging low enough for you to be able to shoot them without having to manually raising your aim up. Just move the stick in the monsters direction and release the arrow as its turns around towards you.
Yeah, this 3ds nub thing isn't great. kind of wish I'd just stuck with the vanilla 3ds and got a cpp
>>344279439
Aerial GS
>>344279263
Ceadeus Swaxe is what got me to start using Swaxe
>>344279534
I've put 750+ hours into 4U on my o3ds and another hundred or two into 3U, the soft lock-on is fine. Although I do wish MH was on a proper platform where you can use two analog sticks.
>>344279439
Adept Bow
>>344278776
ranged is perfectly playable on 3ds without CPP or n3ds. After lots of carting and rage, the controls will be second nature. you don't even need to claw so it's already easier than it used to be
what are good styles for IG?

Same here. I'll probably end up just using the touchpad camera again like i did in 3 and 4
>>344272342
Fuck you, it wasnt a bad set of armour for impact charge blade with the right charm. That armour was my jam.
>>344280360
Dunno, I didn't do all the Village quests in MHX.
But there's one where you fight all the four Flagships one after another.
And, after a quick glance at kiranico, there seem to be the exact same quest as in P3rd, Jho and Narga+Tigrex.
Anons tell me why iSHOULDuse the HH
>>344280118
Aerial. Forward pole vaulting is great at covering distance
>>344281074

>>344280360
no wonder jho is always so pissed off
>>344281074
buffs are gr8
it gets the least out of the styles though and is best with just guild. Double notes are great, its hunter arts are eh.
An attack, all notes are double notes regardless of contact, and one that plays all songs available at once
>>344282096
>one that plays all songs available at once
It should be noted that this hunter art activates all songs only on you, and not the other hunters.
>>344282096
What do double notes do? If there's a song that goes white orange orange, I shouldn't hit the monster with white, and should focus on hitting with orange?
>>344282812
Double notes are not double colors.
If you play a song made out of the double notes, it will also trigger encore for the song you played before this one.
>>344282929
Oh I see. So gameplay hasn't changed at all, but you can potentially get two buffs with one song. So if you play purple purple for the movement speed, and then when it wears off, you play a double note purple purple, do you get movement speed + ESP?
>>344283198
Honestly don't know how exactly it works in the case of the same purple-purple song.
But if you already have purple-purple song active and play an attack up song, it should get you the attack buff and renew the purple song.
Although I don't really play HH, so I'm not sure if playing the song another time while it's active extends its duration, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it does.

>IGN MHGen video
>the guy claims to have played 300 hours of 4U
>double carts to G.Maccau
>>344290095
Apparently the GiantBomb guys triple carted to it in the demo
>>344290095
>IGN video on 3U
>guy is playing with LS
>supposed pro: "Yeah, you picked one of the slower weapons"
I almost vommited
>>344290458
They did. Like three times in a row.
In IGN video they also triple cart, the second player, a grill, carts the final time.
I was actually surprised I knew the grill's name. Before she got hired by IGN she sometimes co-hosted some British mobile gaming site's streams.
Coincidentally, they used to host MH4U streams, where they sometimes played with the viewers. Out which I was probably the only MH player, considering the usual "mobile gaming" audience.
I don't understand the point of being able to pick a Palico in the MHX demo. Will you be able to play one in the full game instead of your usual character?
>>344291319
Yes. You will be blacklisted if you do though.
WHERE ARE THE ROOMS
>>344291615
What gam?
>>344291319
Yeah, you go to the palico board and go into Prowler mode. They're basically the 'fuck around' mode, getting the most out of them is another story.
Though they can get mid-tier speedrun results, they're not popular online to say the least. If you won't get blacklisted you'll usually be asked to change.
>>344290830
>They did. Like three times in a row.
Fucking hell really? I can't imagine 4th gen MH being that difficult to get into.
>>344291709
MH4U or MHX
I just wanna HUNT
>>344291912
It took them a hour and a half to finally kill it.
>>344291436
>>344291912
So playing a Palico is something you should do with friends and not randoms then? That sounds alright.
>>344292138
Only if you want to lose friends.
>>344291912
They're not willing to tolerate cats but will put up with random aerial IGs spamming cartwheels with or without red for the whole hunt?
>>344292046
I do imagine Jumping Jaggi is a tad more dangerous than the dromes or aggis but goddamn. Were they just getting greedy for the most part or had bad rolling sense?
>>344292296
Nah, I'd say he's between Jaggi and Dromes.
Well, I didn't watch all 1.5 hours of it, I don't think they even bothered trying to avoid its attacks and were just trading hits.
>>344292282
Something like Aerial SA can still be useful somewhat, but yeah I'd rather ask somebody to change their style to something else if they can help it
>>344291912
it's kinda sad, but prowlers will probably only be "accepted" ifgaijinhunter makes a tutorial for them, and a separate vid showing how "fun" or how much of a "powerhouse" they can be.
I think my only real nitpick with Monster Hunter is there's no real way to gague how good one of your attacks are compared to another without looking up a guide for the numbers. Like there's no real way to know that the DB dance attack has lamost all it's damage on the first and last hits without looking that up.
Monster weak points show you effectiveness with blood.
Monster hardness is shown by whether or not you bounce
Monster elemental vulnerability is shown by getting at least one drop from them and looking at their armor's stats
But nothing in the game to show you say "Is it better to use a CB's full burst as soon as you get an opening or would you be better off spamming the single phial bursts.
>>344291990
Gimme a few (10-15) minutes.
>>344231328
What armor is this
>>344292825
There is. The magnitude of the blood splash effect. But yeah, MH is definitely one of the few games that are much better experienced with a guide at hand rather than blind.
>>344292968
Beruna set, the starting armor (with 1 def a piece) in the new game.
>>344293003
Really? I thought the blood splatter only showed you that it was a monster's weak spot, I didn't know that a more powerful attack also did more blood. I can live with that if that's the case actually.
>tfw using guild style CB
No fucks given, except the shortcut nerfs. Fuck the nerfs. Tempted to go greatsword this game though
>>344291912
>If you won't get blacklisted you'll usually be asked to change.
this only applies to what's been experienced in japans servers right? I'd be disappointed because playing as a prowler has been alot of fun in the demo. you guys won't kick me if I come in with my prowler, r-right?
>>344293503
I assure you, most sane hunters who don't give a damn and just want to hunt won't kick you for your hunting preference.
Is Gammoth fun to fight? I'm liking it and its theme the more I watch the CG opening, it's a nice change of pace hearing an elephant trumpet after multitudes of same-ish roars.
>>344293962
How effective is prowler?
Honestly even if it has less dps, as long as you're making an effort, not eating up all the KO's, and still acting as a partial decoy then have fun with it, man.
>>344292793
As much as I heard his fans are obnoxious, I haven't really bumped into Gaijinhunter's fanbase that much, maybe it's because I picked up 4U a bit late and that most players had Star Knight or Baibaikaiser by then instead of whatever other clownsuit of the month he made a video of. Perhaps in the comments his fanbase sounds like a whole bunch of cocksuckers but that's pretty much the case with a ton of places. Could be worse I guess, at least he isn't something like Verlisify.
Maybe I'll witness any trends in certain setups he might inadvertently start in MHGen.

RIP Player 3.
How do you guys do it? I love Monster Hunter but I just didn't have the heart to power through the single player campaign, and after I finished it, I was too behind to jump in with everyone online.
Do you guys just skip the single player stuff? I wanna roll with people who know how to play and not randoms.
>>344301582
I usually just play online and then go back and rush through the singleplayer. SP has too much forced storyline shit for me to care. I probably wouldn't do it at all if it didn't unlock stuff.
>>344239020
Why is there arena quests then, retard?
>>344301582
I do single-player first, and then do the multi-player. Seeing the higher rank armors gives you incentive to keep on fighting.
>>344239020
I don't speed run either but it's retarded to tell people how to play the game. The real cancer was relics and they're gone thankfully.
>>344294939
dump it
>>344301582
I beat sp and then I lonehunta the guild quests.
I haven't played online consistently since tri because I'm too self-conscious
>>344300951
Oops sorry for the cart. And I kept knocking away the sns, my bad.
>>344300951
Okay, someone else can make a room.
Or we could move to 4U maybe.
>>344303114
No biggie, the head is the impact weapon's territory. I was just helping out a bit with shield bashes. SnS is surprisingly effective at KOing even without the right coating.

Gee
Je suis monté
>>344304928
What weapon will they use this time? I bet aerial GS but they'll never charge. Frenchies love that combo GS style.
>>344300010
I really hate rathalos. It's not a difficult fight, everyone knows its tricks because we have to fight so many of them in all the games. It just feels like the monster was specifically designed to be obnoxious rather than challenging. Just like gravios. Their attacks and behavior are made to make you mad instead of being outright dangerous.

>>344305442
How do I properly use the hammer online? I do well with it in single player but online I'm shit at it. The monster has more targets so it's unpredictable with where it'll decide to go next. And now in Generations your allies are an obstacle too. You're just about to start your golf swing when bam, blown away by HBG supernova. Or you go in for an opening and have it ruined by the SA user's ultra combo art. I like the weapon but I feel frustrated with it.

>>344305892
People seem to forget there are ways to extend super armor with hammer, like leading with a instead of x for the combo, or not realizing spinning is has amazing super armor despite doing junk damage. You have to realize sometimes that optimal DPS may not always be the best option. Remember that we also exhaust monsters no matter where we hit.
>>344305892
Superpound them. Or you can constantly unsheathe attack the HBG.

But hammer is good again in gen. It's only real mediocre appearances where in fourth gen and it's still not terrible.
>>344308878
Hammer is average in Gen. Improved from being downright terrible in 4U, but a good weapon would be something like the SnS and the LS.
>>344308152
Gunlance has only gotten progressively worse
Lance keeps getting fucked with and gets pigeonholed in X
HH didn't benefit from styles/arts at all compared to other weapons
At least Hammer got decent arts and a good aerial/adept style.
>>344309261
You're talking out of your ass if you think hammer was bottom tier in 4.
>>344309445
>>344309261
>>344308878
Hammer's moveset just feels a bit archaic compared to the newer weapons. Very simple and very deliberate. Not necessarily a bad thing at all.
>>344309387
Yeah, I'm really bummed about the arts for HH, I did like bushido as you get three notes of your chosing after a dogde. I also am really happy and curious about how double notes will work out with songs. when I get more used to it.

>terrible
Oh, you people.
>>344309945
Pretty typical. Hammer is the weapon that requires the most gud to git.
>>344310297
that'd be switchaxe
hammer is incredibly simple, even GS is harder to use
>>344310297
Well I wouldn't say that. It's almost the simplest weapon in the game to use, after all. But to call it bad simply because other weapons can also KO is pretty dumb. It still shits out damage almost nonstop once you get the hang of level 2 charges.
>>344310554
Nothing is easier than hold x to win.
>>344310747
So, GS?
>>344310554
Maybe it's just because I played hundreds of hours of 4U with a Switchaxe and have lost perspective, but it's hard to imagine it as anything but an absolute slaying machine. The side step is so good, covering distance is very easy, it's long as fuck, and the combos are very easy to do.
>>344310847
uh yeah? greatsword is the most mindless weapon, perfect for the newest of hunters or the laziest.
>>344310747
at least hold x to win has a shitty side dodge so you need decent timing and positioning to use it
hammer is ridiculously mobile, and has so much poise break you can literally mash x and stunlock some monsters like sergio
the sliding uppercut is fucking insane also
>>344311057
GS is funny. If you're bad at the game: use GS. If you're okay at the game: Feel free to use GS. If you're really good at the game: You might be using GS. It's got so much going for it at any skill level.
>>344311213
If you want to start having fun while playing the game: use anything but the GS or Hammer
>>344311213
Pretty much what this anon said.
Though, a bad GS day can be horrible, while a good GS day is fantastic.
>>344311202
It also has a block which hammer doesn't have period. You want a lock on monsters? There's no beating greatsword against rajang, aka the only monster that matters after a certain point.
Every time he gets up a gs can put it right back down.

>axe was better than the sword
It really wasn't at any point in time. The standing side slash and double slash in sword, even with an element phial rivaled Axe's hack 'n' slash which hasn't changed in damage since P3rd. Every other axe attack has gotten weaker with every installment, despite the fact that power phial has always put sword over the top in every installment. There's a reason people said you should always be in power phial sword mode - because by the numbers, it's the superior weapon, and even the increased unaugmented motion values, reach, and movement speed of the axe won't make up for its lacking attack speed causing the sword to win out.
Maybe if we keep this moveset and these motion values it'll finally be equal in the next entry.
>>344311614
Man I hope so. I want to use an axe as my primary weapon so bad, but Switchaxe just doesn't want you to stay in axe for any length of time. Filler until you're allowed to use the ridiculous sword mode again.
>>344311614
I wished they would give us some other axe comboes that isnt the upswing combo or the blender.
>ignore IG because I didn't think I would like it
