Finally got to the G3 urgent in GU. Rise and shine hunters, let’s get those crumbs
desert geyser
Nice
heady goblet
All we need is an east
hushed kelp
So just to clarify, is the main issue most people have with LS that LS mains have main character syndrome?
teal wharf
Generally, yeah
In most cases, the existence of Longsword players requires you to run at least 1 level of Flinch Free in your build so they're not constantly interrupting you with their attacks due to poor placement on their part.
Seriously, the number of times I've been staggered by a LS player just doing their wide, sweeping attacks right next to me isn't even funny
hushed kelp
I actually didn't experience this in Rise, though I didn't do a lot of co-op, you can stagger your own teammates? Or just longsword?
icy stump
It's weird
heady goblet
Every weapon can
icy stump
Some moves get flinch res built in
teal wharf
All weapons can, but LS does it most frequently
icy stump
But sometimes dont
heady goblet
But Longsword does it really easily
teal wharf
Due to the hitboxes of their attacks
icy stump
Every LS move has flinch res built in iirc
heady goblet
And LS players are very common
icy stump
And they have big sweeps
Smth like GS charge has flinch res
But other weapons like lance get hard screwed over by flinches
icy stump
Lance main?
teal wharf
Yeah...
icy stump
I'm sorry
I dabble in the long sword arts
heady goblet
Honestly I hope shock proof makes a return
icy stump
I hope it's the baseline
heady goblet
Makes it so neither you nor anyone else can flinch each other
teal wharf
I'm sorry
I dabble in the long sword arts
icy stump
Like make it so I can't flinch by teammates
Unless I'm stunned
icy stump

In my defense
I play basically everything in GU

I play most weapons as well, Lance is just my ol' reliable
For me that's GS
hushed kelp
I play nothing but switch axe, been meaning to turn on my switch again and rise up

I keep forgetting you set your name to west
Oh trust me, I do too
rare knot
I think LS get too much shit when hammer is over there flinging people in the air any time they are standing within 10 feet of another player 
At least you get an aerial attack but still
desert geyser
Ngl, I think being able to fling people in the air is cool since it allows you to set up mounts in an area with no ledges
heady goblet
Hammer players are weirdly entitled ngl
rare knot
Every weapon has their bs I feel, but most of them get away with it cuz Ls users are the primary punching bag

Hammer players are weirdly entitled ngl
Hammer players like other hammer players and nobody else

Actually tbh, other hammers are the most annoying
Me try bonk
Teammate bonk me
Me mad
rare knot
Fair
In wilds they should give blunt attacks the ability to KO other players I think
icy stump
Fucken based
And just for good measure make all cutting weapons inflict bleed
And also bring back that skill from frontier that auto adapts your attack type to be most effective against whatever you're hitting (hit head, do KO, hit rail do cut etc) and make it so with that skill you can both KO and bleed a teammate
hushed kelp
Then firearms rupture organs!
icy stump
Nah firearms can hit for anything
Normal shot types inflict blast to simulate organ rupture
Elemental shots inflict the respective blights (but dragon blight acts like old dragon and drops your affinity)
And crag/clust KO and blast, and slicing bleeds and blasts
Because fuck you
rare knot
If you hit a teammate with a bowgun round they collapse on the spot and slowly bleed out
You should be able to headshot ur teammates and their heads explode off like unreal tournament
icy stump
Lol
Siege mode shots let you reenact that scene from robo cop
(Capcom you dunces let me have siege back please)
Oh shit evil thought occurred
Give everyone innate shockproof, BUT
Dragon blight turns it off, and turns on friendly fire
rare knot
Remember to pack ur nullberries
They should bring siege back and add an ability that turns it into the Aliens smart canon for like 10 seconds

it seems like swaxe will be one of the last weapons shown

icy stump
it seems like swaxe will be one of the last weapons shown
Make tempest axe the base axe move set
PLEASE
wide oyster
that'd be great
either that, or the sunbreak axe moveset (when using the relevant switch skills)
hopefully they bring back uncharged zsd into clutch claw zsd
from world
since the slinger has a grappling hook
icy stump
hopefully they bring back uncharged zsd into clutch claw zsd
The one acceptable way for CC to return
wide oyster
the clutch claw moves were great
it's a shame that they were tied to an awful mechanic
icy stump
The moves using it were neat
It's just dumb they only gave like, half the weapons that ability to combo into it

Amazing how just bringing evade helps a shitton
teal wharf
First thing, that armour set is cool as hell and I want it immediately
Second thing, it's cool to see that they kept Savage Axe CB! I look forward to playing it.
heady goblet
Reminds me of the Rakna/Pyre Kadaki set
teal wharf
The weapon had some webbing in it, so I'm expecting it to come from an Arachnid monster
heady goblet
Maybe Nerscylla

Maybe, but it feels like there isn't enough purple for Nerscylla since she has the purple poison crystals

i love charge blade so much
teal wharf
I was curious about what my weapon usage was like in previous games, so I decided to check!
(I couldn't get my usage of weapons in World since my main save needs Iceborne, and I don't have it since I refunded it 
)
dire bison
im such a one trick
if i had access to that i prob have like 500 missions as gun lance and prob less than 75 of everything else combined
rare knot
Oh god I want to play Wilds CB so bad
you can buff the sword too now
and no more yellow shield?
teal wharf
I think the sword buff has been a thing since World, but yeah it's really cool! They seem to have taken the Savage Axe playstyle from Sunbreak and amped it to 11!
rare knot
I don’t remember sword buff being in rise, tho it’s been a minute
Still looks rad I want it NOW
teal wharf
rare knot
Sometimes my dumb boomer brain forgets GU wasn’t the most recent one
teal wharf
You can easily play solo in the newer games, since there's scaling in World and Rise that changes the monster's stats based on the number of players there are
That being said, there's also fully-functional matchmaking so you can always just play with randoms if you're struggling
distant storm
I felt like the monsters after the 20 hour mark were really tanky
I generally use bows if that means anything
teal wharf
It might be because you've just gone from Low Rank to High Rank, where monsters get waaaay stronger
So you'll need to get new High Rank gear to have an easier time with them
rare knot
Playing bow will do that sometimes too 
teal wharf
Bow's not too bad damage-wise, though the stamina management is painful
rare knot
It’s still harder to get decent damage in than a melee tho
teal wharf
True
rare knot
Bow is sick tho so it’s worth it
teal wharf
distant storm
bows feel way more straightforward to use for me
teal wharf
Yeah, it's definitely one of the less technical weapons
Just Charge/Dodge > Shoot > Repeat
distant storm
is there a good video for explaining the weapons for Rise in particular?
sort of like the 'play if you like' sections on dustloop pages
rare knot
This one is alright, it’s short but it gives you a general idea of what each weapon is like
Ik GU has a few great dedicated guides as well, makes me wonder if Rise has something similar
teal wharf
I was gonna reccommend the weapon guides by Arekkz Gaming, since their guides for World were really good, but it looks like they stopped after a few weapons when it comes to Rise.
So not sure about any good in-depth weapon guides for Rise
distant storm
a quick rundown was what I was looking for
teal wharf
Yeah, I know. I was just thinkin' about it since those sorts of things are just good to know about if you want to learn more about any given weapon.
For example, I had literally no idea how Charge Blade worked before watching an in-depth guide on it back when I played World
Now Charge Blade is a weapon I have a hell of a lot of fun with
distant storm
that's a weapon I really enjoy as well
its like using the straight sword+great hammer weapon in bloodborne
distant storm
second only to the Ludwig greatword
wide oyster
a quick rundown was what I was looking for
a bit outdated for Sunbreak, but this gets the basics across
once you get them down, then it's just a matter of experience
bow is a somewhat punishing weapon
especially if you play spread bow
but the damage you can put out is unparalleled
distant storm
punishing as in easy to get punished?
wide oyster
you take more physical damage than other players
because you are using a ranged weapon
so it's very easy to die if you get caught in a bad spot
distant storm
yeah half the fights are just spent repositioning lol
wide oyster
what shot type are you using?
distant storm
iirc the long range one
wide oyster
ah
distant storm
but I try to alternate
wide oyster
I've only really played spread bow, so I'm not too familiar with the other types
but bow is all about positioning
so that makes sense
distant storm
spread is a bit tricky when you want to take positions
the other types are more straightforward for me

icy stump
Damn that's fast what da hell
teal wharf
Artists don't mess around!
icy stump
Indeed
I'm glad that the mainline team evidently realized how peak the valor Move sets in GU were and started to implement them more in wilds
We got the dash swing on GS, the CB comboing after aed
And IG got some valor mode moves
We cooking with this one
teal wharf
icy stump
All we need now is valor Hammers comboable charge swings
And or valor Swag axe sidesteps/tempest axe as the baseline
Is valor tempest axe better than the demon riot/energy charge combo?
Prolly not
Is it way more fun?
Abso-fucking-lutely
icy stump
If Capcom wasn't fucken around that would be every weapon lol
rare knot
Nahhhh I don’t think I’d want every weapon to be valor
Tho I think the ideal scenario is just bringing styles back, but keeping it simple with only guild and valor
rare knot
I love GU and styles, but having so many when most weapons only truly benefit from a few of them makes it feel kinda bloated
Like who is playing aerial GS bro
icy stump
I mean I'd argue it's good for variety
rare knot
Yeah maybe I’m looking at it thru a lens of obsessing with optimization
icy stump

The default roll is perfectly capable of fully iframing both moves, but it's really tricky and you shouldn't expect a new player to be able to do so

Sns narga is a cake walk no matter the rank cuz you stay on top of him and press buttons and he can’t ever touch you
Yeah but usually I don’t even I frame it, theres a sweet spot on the spin you can just stand in sometimes

Yeah, but if you ever do Silverwind you gotta learn the iframe timing because his spin spawns a projectile you can also roll through

Ohhhh ain’t ever fought silverwind lmao

But it was a long time since I lasted played, and I had forgotten all the names...

You basically need to get lucky with a knock down/stagger, or get a hard read on them
rare knot
Yeah
teal wharf
Or just hope the monster is aggro'd on someone else
rare knot
More often than not it’s better to just hold onto red shield and some phials to land a few ED’s over the course of a combo rather than going for that huge SAED
And of course frequently switch between sword and axe mode to take advantage of those sweet, sweet guard points
hushed kelp
*Or just hope the monster is aggro'd on someone else*
See, that requires playing multiplayer
I legit just run multiplayer games solo, except in the brief period where I knew people who were also play Rise soon after it came out
teal wharf
That's fair
I tend to do story stuff solo, but I do random matchmaking for hunts I've done before
icy stump
I was a Charge Blade main
You were just using the Japanese names lol
Cause iirc the names are charge axe and switch blade in japan
desert geyser
Bro imagine having a switch ace that has a charge blade in axe mode attached at the end of it, basically making it an exploding mace
wide oyster
rise SA did have some extent of discharging on axe mode
if it's amped up, the axe mode gets extra hits as well
icy stump

You are looking for accel axe then

So earlier today I was fucking around in a new game of Rise just so I don't have to spend a fuckton of resources learning other weapons besides CA, and I think out of the ones I played with I'm gonna try out GS, SnS, and HH and leave my previous account as my CA account
Also yes I'm calling it charge axe
heady goblet
Fundamentally it's not too different, but the system mechanics make them vastly dissimilar
teal wharf
how different is the greatsword in rise from world
The True Charge playstyle is pretty much the exact same, but the Rage Slash playstyle is completely new
heady goblet
Rage Slash was in GU
And that's not even the biggest moveset change GS got hit with
teal wharf
Rage Slash was a switch skill in Rise, it replaced TCS

sharp cedar
looking at wilds, its exactly the same huh
heady goblet
?
heady goblet
Yeah
teal wharf
Yup
heady goblet
Because World is the new core moveset
sharp cedar
why didn't they try to copy rise
not complaining
but didn't rise come out after world
teal wharf
Mainly because World and Rise are made by different teams
heady goblet
We still don't know if we'll be able to alter movesets
teal wharf
And Wilds is being made by the World team
wide oyster
greatsword is fun
want to run some hunts?
heady goblet
why didn't they try to copy rise
Because Rise also uses the same core moveset World does
wide oyster
also wilds does take some stuff from rise
keeping sway on hammer
is a recent example
heady goblet
Yeah
wide oyster
though it seems to have been slightly reworked
each mh game builds off of the last one
though the changes aren't always drastic
sharp cedar
want to run some hunts?
for world?
i could but im pretty early in the game
im fine with it but won't it be really easy for you
teal wharf
So, I just realised that Iceborne is on sale for a lot due to the gamescom sale...do I pick it up?
wide oyster
if you liked world, then you should definitely get iceborne
there are a few issues with it (clutch claw), but it's well worth your time
teal wharf
I have close to 500 hours in base World, but I haven't played in a while. Though I'm thinking it'll be good to help me get back into the swing of things so I'm less rusty going into Wilds
teal wharf
Well, both Rise and World released in Q1 of their respective years, so it'd make sense
heady goblet
Given the weapon showcases it's possible
I just hope we don't get a launch Rise situation

I have close to 500 hours in base World, but I haven't played in a while. Though...

Who knows
rare knot
I think it’s unlikely but GOD I want switch skills back
sharp cedar
Apparently we're still in the first portion of weapon reveals too
so more than 14?
heady goblet
I think it's supposed to mean we either haven't seen all the mechanics, or there's aspects of the already revealed mechanics they've yet to showcase
It'd be cool if there was more that 14 weapons though
teal wharf
Yeah, it'd definitely be neat
Since they've been incorporating some stuff from Fontier recently, maybe we could get some iteration on Tonfa for a fast-attacking blunt weapon.
teal wharf
Yeah, I think it's either gonna be Bow or LBG since we haven't had a ranged weapon in a bit
wide oyster
it's dual blades
teal wharf
Oh...
wide oyster
I'm just guessing
sharp cedar
it's dual blades
nuh uh
teal wharf
Oh...
wide oyster
but I did guess insect glaive before its showcase
so I have a 100% success rate
so far
sharp cedar
sword and shield will be last, that or lance
wide oyster
or switch axe
since it seems to have a high-rarity armor set
based on the silhouette
they seem to be going from least rare -> most rare
based on what we have seen so far
teal wharf
sharp cedar
the one i think isn't soon is light bowgun
teal wharf
My guess is a Ranged weapon today, Lance either tomorrow or the day after. Not sure about the rest.
sharp cedar
Also yeah I can play tomorrow @wide oyster
dire bison
what is it about the range weapons that you find interesting
teal wharf
Bow is fun because it's highly evasive and possibly the weapon that keeps you the furthest away from any danger at all times
The bowguns are extremely versitile with all their ammo types, though they only really come online in endgame
Also, it turns out I was more of a Greatsword main in World
wide oyster
Bow is fun because it's highly evasive and possibly the weapon that keeps you th...

you can also play bow as if it was a shotgun

That'd be an interesting rework to it's flurry move
Idk much about Tonfas tbh, dunno what that is
heady goblet
Tonfas had a move where you're locked in place and do a continuous flurry of punches until you ran out of it's special meter or ended it
It even gave a damage bonus depending on how much meter you spent

yeah thats the joke
its a meme template of sorts where you just circle something random with red and theres just a very obvious goku somewhere

its edited

Okay, cool
I feel like a middle schooler not getting that it was edited, lol sorry

Is it gonna be switch axe today
teal wharf
I'm guessing Bow or Lance

Switch Blance
sharp cedar
No one wants dual blades
But it’s got a 25 chance
I’m going to will bow into existence
I should’ve doubled down on switch axe
teal wharf
sharp cedar
It looks cool
dire bison
why is it so extra
wide oyster
looks like fun
I don't know why they didn't show off ZSD
though
considering that's the most iconic attack it has
glad it got a guard point (that isn't utterly broken like in rise)
hushed kelp
Switch axe looks quite fun, though it didn't establish you have to charge up to get sword form (I'm guessing because that's SOP for the weapon)
heady goblet
considering that's the most iconic attack it has
It could be they're trying to shift the weapons identity away from ZSD spam
teal wharf
That would make sense, since it seems like there's a couple different element spenders in the video
heady goblet
Also the SwA set looks cool
teal wharf
People are speculating it's either from a new crab or scorpion monster
Based on the effects, it's weapons are Ice as well

The last time they added a new weapon was Monster Hunter 4 I believe
So there's been no new weapons added in the since 4th Gen, and we're going into the 6th with Wilds

they did that in rise
heady goblet
Yeah, but they're probably taking it further in Wilds
wide oyster
I just hope that they kept the move
it's iconic
and a key part of swaxe's identity
both in terms of combos
and risk/reward
ZSD spam would get you killed in rise anyways
it was broken in world because of clutch claw zsd
heady goblet
I mean it was really only broken in world because of how effective it was on Fatty
And Mantles

yeah
temporal mantle
and rocksteady

meant that you could trivialize fights with zsd spam

Combine charge blade and switch axe to make the axe blade. It’s an axe that turns into a bigger axe

Even if you just lock yourself to Sword mode for 95% of the hunt
