I can't tell if I like hypers more or less than anomalies tbh
Like on one hand, hypers can be real pains in the ass, but at the same time you don't have to do nearly as much grinding to get what you want out of them
heady goblet
Not to mention they've got a much lower grind in general
You do a questline in LR/HR and bam
You got them
icy stump
Tbh idk why people don't appreciate GUs endgame more, that shit is so open ended it kicks ass tbh
You got big bad superbosses, deviants, hypers, bullshit insane events, it rocks
Also
I'm pissed we never got a event quest with all 5 risens back to back
Instead we got a souped up mal/magna and a souped up version of both their rare(?) Species
I don't want that shit, I want a gauntlet of shit, that's way cooler
icy stump
You do a questline in LR/HR and bam
That's only for the R series armor, that's not even the actual hypers themselves iirc
icy stump
Which BTW, R armor is fucking goated
icy stump
Ye fr fr
Rise only doing 1 set per monster is still kinda wierd tbh
Like I get that it's to presumably to streamline things, but like whyyy?
icy stump
I'd love to have a alt set that's that's same statwise, but different aesthetically
icy stump
True
heady goblet
Especially with Qurious crafting
icy stump
Literally a deviant set from GU maxed out is nowhere near as good as a set in the modern Era
heady goblet
Mixed sets were always mad good at least
icy stump
Like my dreadking set got atk L, Wex, Earplugs, wind resist, adrenaline 1, and crit boost on a good day, at the end of G rank
My end of G rank set now got waaaaay more shit on it
heady goblet
My best set got Challenger 2, Crit Eye 2, Wex, Crit Boost, Razor Sharp
And also
Jho Cena
icy stump
Tbh I feel like we should go back moreso to the old system
Make every skill have 5+levels and make it so you only really get the good effects towards the end few upgrades
Tbh WeX is way too fucken good to just be a lvl 3 skill
Maybe make QoL skills 3 levels to make gemming them in easier
heady goblet
The Crit Boost in my back pocket
heady goblet
Maybe make QoL skills 3 levels to make gemming them in easier
That just leaves them tossed to the wayside though
icy stump
Well crit boost at least needs other skills to be really good tho
heady goblet
I think QoL skills should be like shock absorber
Where it's one point for the whole effect
icy stump
That just leaves them tossed to the wayside though
Maybe 2 for like, earplugs and stuff
Wrong reply lol
icy stump
Like just go back to the old metric of +1/+2 for QoL skills, but they're way easier to get
heady goblet
Especially in a system like Rise's
icy stump
But it's nice to just beat the shit out of the monster as it's yelling
heady goblet
Not to mention, roar rolling exists
Wich granted
is a lot harder in Rise without evade window
love me frame perfect rolls
icy stump
When you look at it on paper it's not great, but in execution it's nice
Like think about this
You're Playing GS, you just strongarmed a monsters attack
You go for TCS
Oh no, the monster enraged and roared, stuffing your TCS
Stuff like that is entirely mitigated by earplugs
Which tbf, is less useful in rise cause you have counters an stuff, but there's gonna be times you can't counter
wide oyster
this was incredibly satisfying
icy stump
This is the fun way
wide oyster
vote Volvidon, Aurora Somnacanth, or Basarios
wide oyster
they're the best monsters in the game
knotty ledge
I voted for the actual best 
wide oyster
and definitely not the most annoying ones
Mizutsune is great
it gets a really neat variant in Sunbreak as well
knotty ledge
Daily reminder I should play Sunbreak
wide oyster
it's a good time
I've been going through it again
on another hunter
with switch axe
knotty ledge
vote Volvidon, Aurora Somnacanth, or Basarios
I only fought normal Somna and I thought it was fun
I might be a weirdo
knotty ledge
What changed
wide oyster
nothing too bad though
they made Somnacanth do actual damage
and all of its attacks are massive and hit multiple times
so counter weapons suffer
knotty ledge
wide oyster
unless they play around it
knotty ledge
Oh rip
knotty ledge
I don’t play around anything I just hit harder
wide oyster
maybe you'll like it though
wide oyster
I don’t play around anything I just hit harder
what weapon do you use?

Charge blade is peak
heady goblet
~~Charge blade is peak~~
It's okay
knotty ledge
do you play spread bow?
I had a build for it
wide oyster
once I get decent at swaxe
knotty ledge
Swaxe is the one weapon I always want to try
And end up never touching
It’s a curse or something
heady goblet
Swaxe is the one weapon I don't really nice with
Unless it's GU
Then it's my favorite
wide oyster
swaxe is amazing
it's so bad when you're starting out
but
once you get the hang of morphing and using the sidestep
it becomes peak
I can't wait until I get the counter switch skill
swaxe is the unga bunga weapon of mh
no defense
heady goblet
Hammer:
wide oyster
only offense
hammer has water strike
at least
swaxe's counter is purely predictive
heady goblet
Not a base moveset move
heady goblet
And slow af
wide oyster
It’s a curse or something
at least you play its cousin
charge blade
I hear that charge blade uses its morphs very differently
though
with swaxe, you constantly want to be going back and forth between sword and axe
apparently, cb doesn't do the same
heady goblet
Really depends on the style of CB you like playing
icy stump
vote Volvidon, Aurora Somnacanth, or Basarios
You clearly haven't fought basarios/gravios 
wide oyster
Basarios is on that list
but you're right
I should've put him twice
that's how annoying he is
icy stump
I meant plesioth lol
But true
I have been running around trying to entertain a 6 yr old for the past 10 hours I am beat

It's like picking my favorite kid

Just because they deny it don't mean it can't be seen

heady goblet
How y'all feeling at the prospect of a new MH game?
icy stump
If we get it in over the moon
IF nah
Ah well
I just hope we get some more GU/Rise isms in it
I have school when that starts so rip
But I'm prolly gonna pull the stream up on my phone for the sevagoth drop
heady goblet
Same, I hope we get a new weapon if/when we get a new MH title
rose bison
But I'm prolly gonna pull the stream up on my phone for the sevagoth drop
sevagoth?
the warframe?
icy stump
Yes
rose bison
are they releasing sevagoth prime or smth
icy stump
Just sevagoth, but you get him for free

i was totally expecting elden ring news but no monster hunter news
but i got the opposite

still sad cause no elden ring
but MAN
it looks like open world monste rhunter
which is like an amazing idea
heady goblet

rose bison
i feel like its one of the few games that isnt open world but lends really well to it
heady goblet
Seamless open world would go so hard
icy stump
Lemme get right to stabbing rathalos in his big dumb face
heady goblet
Can't wait to run off to a late game area and completely break the progression
Three times
rose bison
i absolutely love seeing new monsters
icy stump
I just hope and pray we get moveset customization
Please
Styles, switch skills, something
icy stump
It a even number gen
It's coming
heady goblet
heady goblet
God I hope so
icy stump
I wonder if they're gonna do a weapon revamp like they did for world
heady goblet
I doubt it
icy stump
Yknow, shakeup the weapons a bit
heady goblet
Seems a bit soon for another rework
icy stump
I mean maybe not a flat out rework rework
Buuuut more things like switchskills would be cool
And they already have a shitton to work with
rose bison
man i want wirebugs still tho
topaz quartz

Tal vez sean 2000
heady goblet
We making it outta LR with this one
icy stump
Please I want to be able to boot up the game, and gun immediately over to a rathalos to hunt it
icy stump
Ok so
I'm predicting those are gonna be two giant ass snake wyvern skeleton elder dragons we fight in the game
Prolly as like the final bosses
Prolly not dalamafur big
But big
heady goblet
I'm hoping so
icy stump
The one that's like the Greyish color looks almost robotic interms of the design on it
heady goblet
What are you fucking talking about Unga there's no grey in the image
icy stump
So I'm wondering if that possibly means this is like a metallic version, or possibly a indicator we might see something akin to the EDW
The one that's not black then
It's orange at the bottom/like a wierd green at the top
heady goblet
Yeah
icy stump
That and the rings look connected to that one specifically
heady goblet
At least two are connected to the other
icy stump
And if you look where the black dragon intersects it, the bottom portion of the logo looks like a six lol
icy stump
Yeah
heady goblet
That's actually really interesting
It's like
The serpent's are being lifted by the smaller ones
icy stump
Yeah the rings are actually like, little dragons doing loops
heady goblet
I thought it was like a ballooning thing
icy stump
Nah I think it's more them doing loops cause like if it was them ballooning the inside of the rings would be filled
We might be getting some oroboros ass symbolism here
heady goblet
What do you think the stuff going on inside the rings is?
Looks like some weird dualism thing
Between the future and the past
icy stump
Honestly
If we get a pseudo retool of the equal dragon weapon that'd be a neat idea
Like maybe have us fight both a ancient civilization enhanced monster and a non civ enhanced monster
Either we fight the unenhanced version 1st, then fight the mech versio after, or more interestingly maybe we have a narkarkos situation, round 1 is a mechanical monster that is strong, but almost limited by its metal form, but after we beat it we don't actually Kill it, we just bash his armor off
Meaning after we fight a harder base version of the monster
Like primalzeno
icy stump
Tonfas?
heady goblet
I was thinking Magnet Spike
icy stump
Tbh tonfas seem like the easiest to slot in
icy stump
Tho at the same time
Acceleration axe could also work well
icy stump
Having a straigh up axe would be nice
Prowler mode would be a funny thing to bring back
heady goblet
Imo
All you need to rework Magnet Spike
Is tone down the MVs
And remove the I frames
icy stump
What about the whole "locking down the monster for several seconds thing?"
icy stump
Honestly I'd keep the I frames somewhat, make the MV reasonable, and just make it primarily do exhaust
And when the monster is exhausted you get to do the knockdown magnet thing
heady goblet
I think the I-frames for a weapon that moves as much as it does is absurd
Just make it godly for microspacing
icy stump
I mean yeah, but toning it down to be reasonable isn't unreasonable
heady goblet
What
icy stump
Like you carry a set of DBs and a GS together
heady goblet
Yeah, that'd be cool
icy stump
And you can change between both
heady goblet
If you did that
icy stump
But like you have to sheathe to switch
heady goblet
You could even split the magnet Spike into two separate weapons
heady goblet
Imagine a Bow GS combo
icy stump
Gs would prolly become everyone's 2nd pick
heady goblet
Definitely
icy stump
Cause GS is a straigh damage upgrade alot of the time when a monster is knocked flat on its ass
heady goblet
Wake up hits too
icy stump
And alot of the pain of aiming is removed when the target can't move
They'd prolly have to balance it tho
heady goblet
Actually
icy stump
Like I could see them doing a thing where if you bring one weapon you get special combos or smth
heady goblet
It's really hard to build for two weapons simultaneously
Especially when those weapons have different needs
icy stump
Like if you run GS solo you get a dash strike or smth
heady goblet
Think about bow
icy stump
It's really hard to build for two weapons simultaneously
This too
Bow and hammer prolly could work together well
heady goblet
It needs Mighty Bow, Shot type empowerment, stamina skills, along with elemental damage buffs, and evasion skills
GS needs raw damage, focus, and in Rise specifically needs offensive guard as well
icy stump
If they bring back dual skills that dprolly alleviate things
That or lean more in on skills being more unique in terms of effects, like frostcraft n shit like dat
heady goblet
They'd have to load up a lot of dual skills to make it truly viable
Could be a neat G Rank addition, I guess
icy stump
I mean I think that's the interesting conundrum
Do you lean in on one weapon, or do you spend yourself out for more versatility
heady goblet
Because if it's added in from the get go Monsters would not only have to be appropriately adjusted for the absolutely sky high skill economy the game would have
And it could also just lead to the game being naturally decisive
And really hard for newer players to get into
But at the same time
It would be a really cool addition
This is
Quite the conundrum

GU presumably takes place very shortly after 4U cause non of the returning characters aged up at all

Rise probably takes place only a year after World
icy stump
Ok so I tried to look up some lore stuff to see if I could give my theory on that one random rookie in velocidrome armor in elgado (I don't wanna look up his name lol) being the pubmaster from GUs kid thanks to the knowledge of the pretty sizeable timeskip between 4U/GU and risebreak, and TiL the pub master from GU is wyverian
Ngl, I never noticed
I now feel silly

I was blinded by my overwhelming desire to kill all the things
But this now begs a new question

heady goblet
topaz quartz

Yes, although it is not very similar, I can't ask for much either, I don't think they would have considered basing your dog on a "quiltro" (Chilean cross-breed dog)
wide oyster
out of curiosity, for people who have played both World and Rise, which one do you prefer? (and why)
heady goblet
Rise
wide oyster
out of curiosity, why?
heady goblet
I prefer the faster paced gameplay, if we're including Iceborne there's no clutch claw, Wex wasn't nerfed, Element is actually meaningful, it wasn't powerscaled to hell, Switch skills are an amazing idea, and the new skills they added to play off it were great
wide oyster
I see
I agree with almost all of that
I hope that they bring switch skills back in Wilds
heady goblet
I doubt they will, but if they do I'll be very happy
wide oyster
at the very least, I hope that they make some moveset adjustments that reflect the influence of switch skills
for example, I hope that they change the switch axe's draw attack to the switch skill version rather than the default
considering the former is genuinely a straight upgrade
that makes the weapon feel better as a whole
that's just one example, though
rose bison

rise
its just more focused on gameplay than immersion i think
though i do enjoy the world of world more
rose bison
i dont have iceborne so cant talk about any of that, but hte other stuff yes
icy stump
Out of Gen 5, rise
wide oyster
why?
icy stump
Alot of Worlds design decisions feel kind of half assed imo
Like clutchclaw/dps checks, etc
Instead of making fights harder in IB by playing around the hunters strengths gained in Gen5, they effectively nerf the hunters dps by making hitzones worse/upping hp by a shiton
(Comparitively ib HR->MR scaling is about a three times hp multiplier, while normally it's around 2 times)
And in order to get good dps you need to wrangle with the clutch claw, which is a inherently janky ass mechanic
Meaning fights that are relatively unchanged from their older versions (like rathalos, glavenus, zinogre, and most returning monsters tbh) feel strictly worse than their gen 4 versions of the fight, because in Gen 5 they drag on
Or you try and use the clutch claw and get annoyed by that
Whereas in risbreak, they manage their MR really well, because instead of explicitly nerfing the player to make the new threats harder/take longer to make them feel harder. They went out of their way to build the monsters around our expanded movesets
rose bison
i love risebreak
icy stump
Monsters like diablos/anjanath get attacks with abnormally long windup to bait counters
Other monsters get moves that have much faster startup than usual to keep you on your toes
And monsters have way better tracking to keep up with the player
The monsters in sb are built around what we can do in such a way where it's fun yet challenging, in a similar way that GU is
That and monsters (generally) have really fair kill times, meaning fighting a monster isn't a 20+ minute ordeal
The two main gripes I have with risebreak are that
-the roll nerf sucks
-the anomaly grind takes longer than it realistically needs
And like, one of those gripes is mitigated by decorations, and the other is a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things
TLDR, risebreak is designed in a way that's fundamentally fun, whereas alot of things in world are designed moreso to make the game more "difficult" as opposed to fun
But that's my opinion of it all
God I hope wilds MR update goes the SB route and not the IB ond
Bruh I think I put more thought in this than in most of my school essays wtf
rose bison
because its more interesting than anything you'd be learning
icy stump
Factual!

MH ecology?
rose bison
i dont know much about valstrax tbh
been talking about nergigante and zorah magdoros and their symbiosis of sorts
i think it counts as symbiosis
icy stump
Valstrax is neat with his whole chest basically working like a turbine engine on a plane
heady goblet
I think Wilds will take place Old World
Either that
Or it's some secret more sinister third option
wide oyster
it could be in the undiscovered portion of the new world
as some have theorized
as well
heady goblet
That seems very unlikely to me given how the map for the New World was laid out
icy stump
Honestly I could see it taking place near somewhere else that we've been to in the older games, if I had to guess, given the environment we see in the trailer I'm guessing it's near valharbor
Possibly out somewhere in the sand sea

isn't Iceborne still at Mixed?
heady goblet
Yeah
icy stump
Fucking lmao
Honestly fight wise, worldborne alatreon is pretty fun
It's just a damn shame eschaton judgement kinda shits on it
heady goblet
It was people who had like just beaten Shara and we're malding that the endgame content was difficult
I don't think they even could get to Escaton in some cases
icy stump
Yeah the fact alatreon and fatty are MR23 locked in ib, but ruiner nergi is Mr100 locked is the dumbest thing everything
heady goblet
Yeah
icy stump
Thank God SB isn't nearly as stingy with Mr requirements as IB was
icy stump
The only thing that's close to that is the anomaly levels
In SB as long as you've hit MR you can literally fight any postgame MR monster
heady goblet
Risens are all locked to MR 100+
icy stump
And even then, you can if they show up in a harvest tour
icy stump
Risens are all locked to MR 100+
If you unlock them yourself*
If someone else posts it you just have to be MR 10
heady goblet
I don't think that makes it better
icy stump
It makes playing MR multiplayer less restrictive
Whereas in IB they are hyper restrictive with that sort of stuff
heady goblet
No they aren't
icy stump
Yeah, you literally have to be MR 100 to even go on a ruiner hunt
heady goblet
IB you just go from Urgent to Urgent as soon as you beat Shara and get your skull pounded into the dirt by content you're not meant to be fighting
icy stump
IB is absolutely goofy in its mr requirements
All DLC fights are MR 23 locked, when really like, half should be at least MR 50
But then for something like base MR the game is super stingy with letting you fight stuff ahead
Like base glavenus and acidic glavenus are realistically about as hard as each other right?
Yeah acidic is move fluid in movement, but it's not out of the question to be able to throw hands with it early if you've got the glavenus fight down.
The acidic Glavenus quest is MR 14 locked and MR glavenus is mr 7 locked
heady goblet
Well yeah, Acidic and Glav are both story fights
icy stump
Then theres shit like yian Garuga/zinogre being MR23 locked cause they're "post-game content" despite having armor/gear that is literally the same rarity as shit like rathalos
icy stump
Well yeah, Acidic and Glav are both story fights
Yeah, but at the same time it's silly to be so hyper specific with MR reqs
Which is why I hope come wilds the dev team keeps the story kinda like how it is in SB and try not to shoehorn it in your face as much
heady goblet
They've had a lot of time to improve on the design of mainline, so hopefully
icy stump
Honestly MH plots are at their best when they pose a interesting idea that you can mostly ignore if you don't really give a shit about it
Worldbornes plot is not only boring, but they also jam it in your face, literally disallowing multiplayer until you engage with it (not being able to start a quest with your full group is so stupid)

I'm gonna be honest, only one that comes to mind is Rajang or Nergi
rose bison
they dont beat eachother up they beat up other elder dragosn
iirc they just hunt them for sport
not even food
heady goblet
Peers had me trippin
heady goblet
iirc they just hunt them for sport
No, they hunt other EDs for their bioenergy
So that way they can reproduce

ah
rajang just beat up horses as a rite of passage
which is fair
horses are scary

that reminds me i still need to finish the monster hunter rise ecology video

So that way they could circumvent their only natural predator aside from Nergi

one of my favorite things is how astalos leave their children at birth to protect them from themselves
cause astalos have bad eyesight and are very aggressive
and accidentally kill their children

That is a cool detail

I think Frontier actually has the progenitor of Astalos
rose bison
hmm what other details do i like
heady goblet
Berukyurosu
rose bison
oh i think its funny that frostfang barioth isnt a variant for a special reason, its simply a barioth that got old
and black diablos is just a female diablos
heady goblet
Yeah
rose bison
Berukyurosu
there are so many frontier monsters i dont know about
i watched a video with a tierlist of every single monster in the entire franchise, including frontier, so i guess i at least know about them, just dont remember them
heady goblet
He's basically Astalos but he uses Dragon lightning, and he has a lot more tails
rose bison
yeah that is a lot of tails
and dragon lightning is awesome i wish there was a variant of astalos that used it
i want to see a dragon lightning light saber
ill have to make do with boltreaver
rose bison
yeah but not dragon lightning
boltreaver doesnt have it either but its a closer color
wait
for some reason i made myself think it was purple for a second
no its red
neither of them are closer they're like the same distance away
rose bison
not really

is there any greater pleasure in the world than using a hammer against that bone monster and fly through the air while front flipping with your hammer and breaking like 20 spikes in a single jump
icy stump
Gunning down either a plesioth/gravios in cold blood by abusing valor HBG in GU
Doubly so if youre doing that one G4 key quest in GU to help people progress that has you fight a glavenus and a gravios, but you with the hbg are able to solo the gravios fast enough to be able to kill the sonnuva bitch faster than the other 3 people can kill the Glavenus with their powers combined
That is a special kind of power trip
dire bison
been playing a bit of rise and watching some streamers i like play world for the first time
and as much as i dont enjoy world damn, the game looks really good
icy stump
World looks nice graphically, but tbh I'm not a fan of how the monsters don't pop as much off the scenery
Like genuinely there have been times where I've been running around the ancient forest looking for a rathian, only to realise I ran by it earlier while entirely missing it somehow
dire bison
that just means his camouflage is working
icy stump
True!
rose bison
that just means his camouflage is working
erm her actually
dire bison
wait is the green female and the red male?
icy stump
Was wondering if when someone was gonna point that out
rose bison
the rath family has pretty big sexual dimorphism, and rathians are just female versions of rathalos
dire bison
i thought they were totally different
rose bison
they're the same species just female and male
icy stump
Ye rathians are just female rathalos lol
dire bison
i dont like that
icy stump
Like lunastra are female toasters
rose bison
why
icy stump
And how black diablos are just really horny (heh) female diablos
rose bison
some of them you cant tell as much but others are rathian and rathalos
icy stump
the green should be bigger than
Tbf. They got the females having more camouflage-y colors down perfectly if my world experiences are any indication
rose bison
and also the behaviors are pretty realistic
world is really good at making a realistic ecosystem with fantasy creatures
icy stump
Rathian is literally hard coded in game to hunt you down if you steal eggs
rose bison
rise does a pretty good job too but its not the main focus like world
icy stump
I'm pretty sure that was even in the older games
dire bison
wait isnt there a azure rath?
icy stump
Tbh I'm of the firm opion that I'd rather have my fun fights first and foremost, and my funny ecology aspects second
rose bison
wait isnt there a azure rath?
thats a variant
icy stump
wait isnt there a azure rath?
And pink rathian yes
rose bison
azure rathalos and pink rathian
actually is it a variant or a subspecies
i dont remember
icy stump
Subspecies
rose bison
yeah its a subspecies, which is an offshoot that adapted to a slightly different environment
icy stump
Variants are monster that started normal, but smth happened to make them not normal
rose bison
yeah and variants are specifically individual monsters
icy stump
Ie, angry monke losing his tail and ascending to super monke 2, or deviljho going apeshit from cannibalism
rose bison
subspecies is an entire offshoot of the species
rose bison
Ie, angry monke losing his tail and ascending to super monke 2, or deviljho goin...
or barioth just growing up
rose bison
deviant is individuals that adapted to EXTREME environments
its basically just a more intense variant
icy stump
Afaik, variant is thing that can happen naturally, deviant changes come from explicitly the monsters having fought hunters before
Like deadeye yian garuga and bloodbath diablos come to mind
Which also kinda tracks given rise apexes are made because of ibushi/narwa fucking around and everything around them had to adapt or die basically
rose bison
Afaik, variant is thing that can happen naturally, deviant changes come from exp...
i think thats just a common trend
deviants are
quote
icy stump
Deviants
rose bison
are special monster individuals that have survived harsh conditions and have changed to overcome said extremes they've faced.
icy stump
Yeah
rose bison
those harsh conditions could be hunters
and its not very unlikely that it would be hunters
icy stump
In the cases of deadeye/bloodbath it was explicitly hunters
I wonder what made dreadking evolve even further beyond tho?
icy stump
Also smth I don't see people mention alot is how in rise alot of base monsters get their old deviant moves (astalos headsaber/zinogre super uppercut/silverlos and goldian getting dreadking/queen nukes)
rose bison
it talks about it being an "evolved king of kings"
icy stump
That implies the deviant behavior is becoming less deviant
rose bison
or maybe they just wanted the cool moves in the game without adding deviants
thats more likely i think
icy stump
And that's simultaneously cool conceptually, but also shitty cause it just drops the odds of me getting deviants back anytime soon
rose bison
i wish they'd admit to themselves that apexes are just deviants though
icy stump
thats more likely i think
I mean this is the obvious reason, but I think the lore implications are fun to ponder
icy stump
i wish they'd admit to themselves that apexes are just deviants though
Apexes are like store brand box Mac n cheese, while the OG ones are like homemade Mac n cheese
rose bison
you should use more objective of analogies
icy stump
Prolly
It's like comparing a work of art made by a person, to a ai art piece that was trained off someone's art
rose bison
thats a pretty good one
rose bison
it was like rise copying the homework of the other game with bad handwriting
icy stump
The soul badguy is missing
rose bison
exactly
icy stump
Like don't get me wrong, having basically bloodbath diablos in rise is fun
But at the same time it's just not him
Because bloodbath carries a certain oh fuck factor to the fight apex just kind lacks
Mainly because bloodbath proper gets 2 unique boss themes and proper phases and stuff but still
Crazy how capcom took one of the most painfully average monsters in the whole series, and made their deviant arguably one of the coolest fights in the series
rose bison
diablos is pretty boring by itself yeah
rose bison
i think he's pretty fun looking
icy stump
Look him run
Loom him go
Loom him trample all his foe
Them there's bloodbath who was explicitly designed to hard counter you getting cocky with your stronger styles like adept or valor, with moves that explicitly hard counter those styles (multihiting spin, moves designed to bait counters, roar->charge)
Considering that no other monster in GU was really balanced like that really made bloodbath really fucking cool
rose bison
makes sense
icy stump
In rise apex feels behind the curve on that one
Because he was designed to be a equal to the GU movesets, which were inherently more limited than the rise ones

trying to decided if i wanna stick with gunlance cuz thats all ive played since world or try something new and spicy like the switch axe
dire bison
been watching a streamer solo fatalis blind with i think a hammer
dire bison
try swaxe
i was thinking of that too but i dont even pay attention to resources in fighting games, my main genre, doing it in rise seems like i wont either
wide oyster
could be fun to pick up a new skill
but it's up to you
all of the weapons are pretty fun
dire bison

@azure fox You started playing Monster Hunter?
azure fox
Mhm
My boyfriend wanted to try it and I got $50 bucks on steam and it was on sale
So I bought world with iceborne for both of us
azure fox
It’s pretty fun
I’m not new to mh so it’s going as I expected it
Bf is being an insect glaive main and getting his shit pushed in
I decided to go the cool way and bonk my way through the game
rose bison
HAMMER BRO
heady goblet
Nice, Hammer is always a good time
rose bison
YOU'RE MY FRIEND NOW
dire bison
theres 2 bonk weapons and you guys just assumed hammer
rose bison
WE'RE HAVING SOFT TACOS LATER
dire bison
smh
heady goblet
I’m not new to mh so it’s going as I expected it
Also, which was your first game?
rose bison
theres 2 bonk weapons and you guys just assumed hammer
hammer is the only real one
azure fox
Also, which was your first game?
MH3G I believe it was
rose bison
theres a bonk weapon and theres a bard weapon
heady goblet
MH3G I believe it was
Nice
azure fox
Idk actually remember if it was 3 but I know it had generations in the title
Long ago
But my friend also has like
azure fox
6000+ hours in world so I’m familiar with world from watching
heady goblet
Generations was the ten year anniversarry title
azure fox
That's a different game than 3G
I’d have to see the cover art
dire bison
i remember buying the first mh on the switch and was having an alright time online but then nintendo announced online was no longer going to be free and the game died for me at that moment
heady goblet
azure fox
I forgored which one it was bc I was little
icy stump
GU was and still is peak MH
heady goblet
Frontier imo is better but then again you gotta use dubious means to obtain it
azure fox
Okay yeah it wasn’t the one on the Wii U lmao
heady goblet
heady goblet
Yes
azure fox
That’s why I thought of it
Oml I forgot I played on there
I was thinking of the one on like the ps2 or whichever one it was
heady goblet
It's cool
azure fox
Yeah it was dos
heady goblet
Cool
azure fox
I barely played that one but I remember the cover art
That and the one on the 3DS
I played those two a bit but not too much
heady goblet
My first was Generations
rose bison
my first was rise
crazy to think some people's first will be wilds
whatever that game is like
rose bison
hopefully not like world
azure fox
(The cutscene shit is awful)
rose bison
hopefully like rise but more like world
azure fox
Unga when reactions moment
