Because it's fun

golden aurora
#

you want a small weapon thats flashy, man do i have a frontier ffor you

wide oyster
#

just play charge blade

#

if you want a cooler version of SnS

heady goblet
#

And if you play Dual Blades it's because you have a god complex, but that's neither here nor there

wide oyster
#

you get guard points and a massive axe

#

it's also very flashy

dire bison
#

prob been posted here but this is the time to post the clip of the flashiest small weapon in wilds

i mean you pronounce your name as barrel. the joke works less in text but its there

wide oyster
#

they call you barrel because you're the bomb

rose bison
#

they call me barrel because im rotund

#

we are not the same

How it feels to use Insect Glaive against Narwa/Ibushi/Amatsu

Mizutsune is the best

toxic brook
dire bison
#

you ever just get so bored you think about buying rise for no reason

rose bison
#

no because i already have rise on multiple platforms

frail crescent
#

You should buy it so I have another person to hunt with

green plank
#

i need o play rise on pc i have it on my steam just havent played it on there yet because no cross save </3

#

all my progress is on switch

heady goblet
#

What were they cooking with that beta

hushed kelp
#

Something that could have only been fueled by energy drinks and desperation

#

And a fuck ton of polygons

golden aurora
#

someone dropped their bag of polygons onto the game

night ledge
#

Praying we get low poly monsters as an event or something

icy stump
#

Very humorous

Capcom desperate to keep information from leaking

heady goblet
#

Maybe the full game doesn't have a 40k vertices Chatacabra

hushed kelp
#

But it better have a 100k polygon Gore Nagala

#

And a 2 poly Shigaru

green plank
#

100k polygons of my fav monster,,

rose bison
hushed kelp
#

But memes

green plank
#

the leak that had gore magala in it BETTER BE CORRECT

#

CAPCOM!
GIVE ME GORE MAGALA.

golden aurora
#

they making woke magala now

#

And Shegaru Magala

rose bison
#

and it turns into shagaru MAGAla

#

crazy turn of events

golden aurora
#

You cooking too much

hushed kelp
#

Then why am I still getting food poisoning?

rose bison
#

stove broken

topaz quartz
#

fact that no one asked for and I just remembered, a friend played the beta with a 4060 and it was hunting polygons,

I had no problems with a 4050

rose bison

#

Well it's a beta after all

L bozo

dire bison
#

i will not sub to gamepass and play mon hun

golden aurora
#

why would you either?

dire bison
#

cuz i got the grind itch

golden aurora
#

Then dont do it

frail crescent
#

I really hope we get Mizutsune in Wilds. Genuinely obsessed with that monster

icy stump
#

Nah we need gammoth

It's the only fated four to not be in Gen 5

rare knot
#

Yeah cuz gammoth SUCKS

#

All he does is kick snow around and have one bajillion HP

dire bison

no more rock based monsters

No more rock based monsters

no more rock based monsters

#

im not playing my blast cannon, i dont want to feel like the normies when my blade gets deflected

#

the game should be balanced around my chosen main

rare knot
#

Genuinely tho I hate monsters that are covered in rocks

#

Gravios sucks so much

#

The largest flaw in GU is that him and his cousin were allowed in at all

icy stump
dire bison
#

heavenly blade gun?

rare knot
#

I remember one time trying to fight gravios with bow in HR

#

took me like 10 tries and I was screaming in agony the whole time

dire bison
#

oh its prob heavy bow gun

rare knot
#

Yeah heavy bow gun

#

And also true, valor HBG was made specifically for awful monsters like gravios

#

Once you are built for it it’s just a skip monster button

icy stump
#

Running through the game with people I'll avoid using it

#

Plesi, or grav?

#

They're fucking dead

rare knot
#

Usually I don’t like being carried in games, but when I’m grinding for rare drops or hunting an annoying monster, and an HR999 Valor HBG player joins I start to feel religious again

God valor bow is so fun

Putting together an endgame build for it is not, tho Solge

#

I hate Tigrex

hushed kelp
#

That's why it's SOS

#

Slay on Sight (plus the 15 minutes it takes to corpse rush it)

rare knot
#

I love Tigrex

#

Tigrex and Narga are so fun fighting in GU with Sns

icy stump
#

He's like a big cat chasing a Lazer pointer (every living thing aside from itself is the red dot)

rare knot
#

Exaaactly

#

I really love when I’m right under him and he does his big spin, so I do my big spin to cancel it out and do damage

icy stump
#

If you spin counter the direction of his spin it legally cannot damage you because it cancels out, it's the law

rare knot
#

If you spin in the same direction as him, I wonder if yall would combine spins and spin around like a beyblade

craggy dust
#

Honster Munter

icy stump
#

Yed

golden aurora
#

i keep saying that tigrex is fun

rose bison
#

you keep lyin

golden aurora
#

shut up

rose bison
#

he screams and he spins

#

i dont like it

golden aurora
#

like a leo player, whats the problem?

rose bison
#

if he had more variety id like tigrex

rose bison
#

give tigrex a fullscreen low that leads into backturn and i might consider enjoying him

golden aurora
#

We need to give tigrex a flashkick, you are right

rose bison
#

he also needs like

#

bloodbath diablos backstory

#

just steal the backstory

#

its tigrex's now

golden aurora
#

Crimson glow tigrex

#

he flies now

rose bison
#

shagaru tigrex

golden aurora
#

when he´s enraged he does like bayle and grows two wings more

rose bison
#

i cant even imagine what shagaru tigrex means rn

#

it just popped into my mind and i had to say it

#

the dangers of being on discord at 6:21 am

golden aurora
#

Chaotic tigrex

#

just tigrex

icy stump
#

Grimclaw has power geyser

golden aurora
#

he gets sandblast and sonic boom

rare knot
#

Started grinding Dreadking DedChipp

#

Why does he fly so much and why do flashbombs not work

icy stump
#

Just 1

#

But that one thing makes or breaks a dk hunt

rare knot
#

God dammit SOLKEKW

#

So to use flashbombs to get him on the ground, I have to get them on the ground to hit his wings

icy stump
#

Range weapons are your friends

#

Valor HBg is great cause it can force him to be flashable via unmatched violence

#

That or aerial IG can let you smash him midair, and go for mounts for your team to wait on the wings

rare knot
#

Chief idk what to say, I’m playing sns SOLKEKW

#

I don’t have a gunner build good enough for DK rn, and I’m fighting DK for its sns SOLKEKW

icy stump
#

Do yourself a favor and don't fight DK solo

#

Like genuinely he sucks solo with a melee weapon

#

If you want a good deviants set id recommend going out and fighting Bloodbath TBH

You only need to do 5 lvls as opposed to 15, and his set is arguably one of the best full sets in the game, with universally pretty good weapons

#

Or open a DK lobby

#

Cause that makes him way more tolerable

rare knot
#

I’ll check it out. I’m not doing it for the set tho, just the weapon. I read it was the best fire sns in the game or somethin

icy stump
#

Ah yesh

#

Tmits the best fire sns

#

After like, 15 quests

rare knot
#

DK’s armor doesn’t look like anything I’d need for sns? Tho idk what the dreadking skill does

rare knot
#

I’m on 4. The double DK hunt

icy stump
#

DK set gets atk L/windproof/wex/GG earplugs

#

And adrenaline +1 at level 14 as part of the DK soul X skill

#

Great set universally

#

Don't recommend grinding it all in one Go, you will hate yourself after (I've done it multiple times like a psycho)

rare knot
#

I’m already getting sick of it SOLKEKW

#

DK 4 is literally just an endurance run

#

With a time limit

#

He’s not even hard at this level, he doesn’t do much damage. But he’s always 100 feet off the ground spamming several different brands of fireball

#

It’s such a drain on resources

icy stump
#

Yeah

#

Traps help a shitton

#

Bounce bombs can be useful to rack up some dmg

rare knot
#

Oh god I just did it with less than 5 minutes left

#

that was hell

icy stump
#

Nice

rare knot
#

You’re right, I’m opening my lobby next time Solge

#

Boltreaver set looks p good for sns actually

#

It’s got some sharpness and crit skills

icy stump
#

He's great for aerial

#

But also useful in general

rare knot
#

Hmm I wonder if the vault skill effect sns’ ledge attacks

#

That would be a fun bonus

icy stump
#

Oh it do

#

Any and all aerial attacks

#

10% DMG boost

#

Ok so soulseer has proved to me that maybe I should try to solo deviants ever

#

Literally what is this bullshit. She’s playing volleyball with my ass SOLKEKW

rose bison
#

soulseer mizutsune is so cool

#

i had it as my pfp at one point

#

i was thinking like

#

its blind

#

blind is in my name

rare knot
#

SHE IS but she’s also so scary

rose bison
#

i love monster hunter

#

perfect pfp

rare knot
#

She’s rad as hell but I wish she didnt 2 cart me 5 minutes in

rose bison
#

it was a really hard fight in monster hunter stories 2

#

the hardest of the fated four for sure

#

i farmed boltreaver astalos a bunch of times but i think i only beat soulseer mizu like once

rare knot
#

I’m gonna need to hit boltreaver soon as well, but I don’t wanna

#

Astalos is scary as hell 😭

#

Endgame gu got me questioning my faith in sns

icy stump
#

That and it does it's bubble stinger/drop like 90ish seconds after it lathers up iirc

#

Smth like that

#

Cause I kinda got a feel for when you gotta dodge it

#

So there's def a pattern

rare knot
icy stump
#

Soften it

#

White hair bounces, purple/red is soft

rare knot
#

Oh ok, got it EddieCatThumbsUp

#

Online hubs get hella active once you break HR

#

Literally always have a fully lobby

rare knot
#

Any GU players wanna help me grind Boltreaver?

desert geyser
#

Would if I could. Seems like even if I have free time there's still so much to do. Like not even just chores, but things to catch up on in general

rare knot
#

I got full Boltreaver

#

Just gotta do more Boltreaver to upgrade it SinClueless

Diving Wyvern is the most satisfying thing ever

#

Rampage quests suckkkk

green plank
#

am I the only person who genuinely enjoys rampage quests a little

heady goblet
#

They just boring and kinda drawn out imo

green plank
#

I guess I mostly played them solo
so they weren't particularly boring for me

golden aurora
#

They are tolerable with people

frail crescent
#

They just lack what makes the combat fun for me, which is learning the monsters moves. If I wanted to play tower defense I’ve got bloons

icy stump
#

Counter point

#

Beating a horde of monsters back single handedly makes you feel like a badass

THAT NARWA FIGHT WAS SICKK

hushed kelp

Hell yeah it is

sharp cedar
#

i stopped playing world since I hunted everything but fatalis

#

but its really fun to just hunt random monsters

dire bison
#

real gamers solo fatalis

frail crescent
#

I named my Palico Geeber and I love him dearly

green plank
#

geeber!

hushed kelp
#

Going forward all my Palico's will be named Duck King [insert number]

#

Wilds will see the introduction of Duck King IV

sharp cedar
#

i gotta stop committing to tcs every second

frail crescent
#

I think when wilds comes out I’ll make Geebert

green plank
#

ill just make Devious... as i always do

#

i <3 Devious...

#

Time to start using more languages

golden aurora
#

we have Petrol, Benzene, Hidrocarbons and Propane

#

still got Diesel, Gasoline AND more

rose bison
#

im never gonna run out of names for my palicos

#

in rise i name all of them synonyms of "little idiot"

#

there are so many synonyms im not gonna run out before either i die or the monster hunter franchise dies

golden aurora
#

gonna discover new compounds so i can name mine lmao

icy stump
golden aurora
#

not yet

#

ill put a pin on it

icy stump
#

But

You're supposed to pull the pin on grenades

golden aurora
#

thats why im putting it

icy stump
#

Not put it in

golden aurora
#

not pulling it

#

silly guy

rose bison
#

i just looked up hydroglycerin cause i was curious

icy stump
#

It's highly explosive

#

Like

rose bison
#

my life has been a lie

golden aurora
#

yummers

rose bison
#

its not

icy stump
#

You jostle it a bit

#

Boom

rose bison
#

its like a medicine

icy stump
#

Wha

golden aurora
#

you sure its not nitroglicerine?

icy stump
#

Oh

golden aurora
#

lmao

icy stump
#

I'm a dumbass

#

I had a feeling I fucked up somehow

golden aurora
#

i thought hydroglicerin was a bit odd if you were talking about fuel or explosives lmao

rose bison
#

nitroglycerin is also a medicine but its also also explosive

#

i dont know why they named the medicine after the thing that detonates on contact

icy stump
#

Yummers

golden aurora
#

Yummers

icy stump
#

Apparently nitroglycerin cures butt problems

Don't fart too hard when you need it I guess

golden aurora
icy stump
#

Tiggy ain't got nothing on me

hushed kelp
#

Of yeah, glycerin can be used as a sort of “intestine safe” soap

#

My roommate’s son uses that mixed with saline to do flushes since part of his colon just doesn’t work

#

So the difference between that and nitroglycerin I like to imagine is like making glycerine out of flowfern as opposed to nitroshrooms

rose bison
#

nitroglycerin is also a medicine thing tho

#

like specifically nitro

rare knot
#

My current main palicos in GU are Biscuit and OrangeSoda

#

There’s also Pop Tart

heady goblet
#

All my Palicos are named Luna after my irl cat

rose bison
#

i always name my palamutes after dogs i have/had

rare knot
#

My main palamute it’s Guts lmao

#

And my owl guy (forgot the name) is Griffith

icy stump
#

My owl is Mr. Tweetums Jr.

so doesn't this look kind of bad

smh, i know this is gonna fail cause I haven't seen greatsword once

This is literally the same guy

sharp cedar

Its worse

rose bison

#

(from the new mh mobile game !)

rose bison
#

ANOTHER mh mobile game?

sharp cedar
#

Am I wrong to not think this is really monster hunter

rose bison
#

yeah

#

well

#

i dont know what the actual gameplay looks like

#

but the designs look like they're made out of monster parts

#

thats monster hunter enough

sharp cedar
#

I would’ve never guessed it

rose bison
#

how

#

its pretty obvious

#

literally has a pukei pukei eye

#

and feathers

sharp cedar
#

It’s green and a few feathers, this looks like it’s from a fantasy dnd game

night ledge
#

Its because of the face

Looks like they took a dnd elf and shaved the ears

#

whats a good sword and shield weapon for rise

#

like early game

golden aurora
#

nargacuga?

#

can never go wrong with them

rose bison
#

nargacuga weapons are meta until like dlc

#

from my understanding

sharp cedar
#

im just grinding for rathian armor right now cause I got no idea what to get

heady goblet
#

And then Lucent Nargacuga becomes meta after dlc

golden aurora
#

i still hold my cuga hammer with love

hushed kelp
#

My approach for MH is to just make one of each elemental type (unless I want to go wild and get all of the available ones) and swap out depending on what I need

#

Although Zorah Armor was my default for entering High Rank in World

golden aurora
#

yeah but mischief doesnt like playing mh

hushed kelp
#

Rippith

sharp cedar
#

but i just want a better weapon

#

cause I got the hunting set right now

golden aurora
#

want me to speedrun you through low and high rank?

rose bison
#

then the combat clicked for me and suddenly everything was awesome

hushed kelp
#

Nargacuga doesn't appear until LR4, which isn't terrible but is a little bit of a wait

rose bison
#

im always just

#

waiting for my narga

#

i love narga so much

#

i just realized that sounds kinda bad i might not want to abbreviate it to that

#

ill say cuga

golden aurora
#

my narga

hushed kelp
#

Sloth always waiting for a 'gacu'

frail crescent
#

Anyone wanna run some hunts on rise PC, I just got master rank

frail crescent
#

Teostra might be my new favorite monster in terms of design and gameplay in tandem

#

God that was so cool

frail crescent
#

This game is sick as fuck. I love it so much.

I watched this video right as Breaking Benjamin's cover of "Enjoy the Silence" started, so right as they got zapped the beat dropped lol

sharp cedar
#

i miss the wilds weapons trailers showing up

frail crescent
#

Oh, speaking of wilds, did anyone who played the demo try out insect glaive? And if so, was it still as fun as rise?

heady goblet
#

I didn't play the demo but they gutted the aerial stuff

icy stump
#

Haven't played it myself, but allegedly it lost alot of its aerial acrobatic tomfoolery

hushed kelp
#

Also almost all standard attacks in focus mode send out your kinsect alongside the actual attack

frail crescent
#

Oh nice

#

They still have diving Wyvern yeah?

hushed kelp
#

I didn't find it, but they do allow you to do the IG focus attack both in the air and on the ground, and it acts as a way to both give you essence for breaking wounds while also kinda bouncing you

#

Didn't do a lot of glaive testing, but that's what I found

frail crescent
#

Fair fair, I’m hoping it’s just as, if not more fun than in rise cuz it’s easily my favorite play style

frail crescent
#

I say this every time I throw my kinesect

dire bison
#

can that weapon even solo fatalis

wide oyster
#

the kinsect can

#

actually

#

it can also solo Alatreon's elemental threshold

dire bison
#

oh seri seeing your name reminded me i wanted to ask you a question

wide oyster
#

what's your question?

dire bison
#

if jp anti airs with crhp can that ever combo into fireball or am i just stupid and got hit by fireball for no reason

wide oyster
#

it's usually a reset

dire bison
#

rip

sharp cedar
dire bison
#

i thought it was so low damage that you needed 2 hours to mathematically kill him

wide oyster
#

kinsects are broken

#

and IG itself

#

is pretty great

frail crescent
#

I loveeeeee my IG

wide oyster
#

(speedrun ranking)

dire bison
#

is this for fatalis?

wide oyster
#

just in general

#

across all Time Attack runs

#

Switch Axe can solo Fatty in less than 8 minutes

#

and IG is better (presumably)

dire bison
#

looks like im doomed to constantly play the mid tier no matter the game i go to

wide oyster
#

at least you don't play the worst weapon...

frail crescent
#

Eh, with MH who cares about tiers. Just pick what you like smacking stuff with the most

wide oyster
#

yeah

#

this is just for speedruns

dire bison
#

my old main is worse than insects

sharp cedar
frail crescent
#

If you fear grass, IG, if you have 4 braincells, do GS, if you hate challenge, pick LS

wide oyster
#

sigma is the standard deviation

sharp cedar
wide oyster
#

of the dataset

#

it's like the +- on RU

dire bison
#

also how trust worthy is this? wasnt world speedrunning community plagued with people changing monster AI for better times?

wide oyster
#

The charts below count only the fastest times per weapon for quests that have a run with every weapon.

This is meant to be an interesting dive into the data - NOT a definitive ranking of weapons. These rankings are skewed wildly by the somewhat arbitrary quest selection, and by the popularity of weapons - weapons that have more speedrunners will generally get closer to their best times possible.

wide oyster
#

if you doubt that, then try playing it against any decent monster

frail crescent
#

It’s fun as hell, I love it I just needed something to bully it for

rose bison
#

honestly i find it more complicated than most weapons lol

#

it took me so long to figure it out

frail crescent
#

Oh, btw, I just unlocked all mother fight for hub, anyone wanna do it with me?

#

PC, Rise

sharp cedar
#

How big do you all think wilds will be

#

Like as much content as world or as rise

frail crescent
#

Idk, I imagine bigger than Rise

sharp cedar
#

Hopefully

frail crescent
#

ALLMOTHER WAS SO COOL

#

Magnamalo has earned his spot as a cool monster after that assist

#

Godddd, this whole series better be that cinematic in the final fights

cinematic? cinema?

Tbh I still haven’t beaten sunbreak

#

I got stuck on the wolf thing I think and just kinda put it down for GU

frail crescent
#

I only just got into Sunbreak, it’s really fun rn

rare knot
#

Rise is a lot of fun, I wish this style of mh game continued over World’s

#

Ik they are made by diff teams but yk what I mean

frail crescent
#

I’m hoping Wilds is similar pace as Rise

icy stump
#

Portable team gonna make Generations 2 I can feel it

rare knot
#

Coping hard

#

Can’t wait for Monster Hunter: Generations Dos

#

Tho ik classic monster hunter is dead. Generations was its incredibly upbeat funeral. Tho a rise 2 with styles would be sick

#

And maybe a new weapon

icy stump
#

I hope we get more varied ones so you can essentially build your own style

rare knot
#

That’s not a bad idea

icy stump
#

Like guard tackle on GS was stupid cause it was a side grade

rare knot
#

But switch skills as is just weren’t the same for me? Like it was kinda like having the arts back but no actual style

icy stump
#

But surge slash?

#

Crack

rare knot
#

Even tho some did replace moves and modify stuff n allat

icy stump
#

Like surge slash

#

Or the charge sword vs axe

#

For CB

rare knot
#

Now if they added a switch skill that basically just gives you valor, they can take my money

#

Honestly 90% of the reason I like styles is valor and striker lmao

icy stump
#

I think valor is genuinely the best iteration of most of the weapons

#

Like

#

It's strong

rare knot
#

Alchemy is a cool idea that I think wasn’t expanded enough in gen

icy stump
#

But it's only strong if you already get the weapon

icy stump
#

The ramp up on it is way too slow

#

If the booster rate was on by default and at 3 you could make tremor resist items that'd be great

#

That and let alchemy items work with wide range

rare knot
#

I kinda hate valor sns tho. Like “yeah you have this whole arsenal of the best arts in the game to pick from, but how about you only pick one of those and instead we give you iframe flips”

icy stump
#

Instant S tier style

icy stump
#

The flippies cool as fuck tho

rare knot
#

Like why would you play sns anything but guild, striker, or aerial

rare knot
icy stump
#

I like valor sns

rare knot
#

Chaos Oil is the single best art in the game, maybe besides lions maw

rare knot
#

And draining ur sharpness like crazy on a weapon that already struggles to maintain sharpness

#

And then you have to choose between round force or chaos oil because you can’t have both

icy stump
#

Use valstrax sns

Idk maybe I’m just bad with it (very likely the case)

But I cant find a use for the flip that warrants losing 2 art slots and having most of my kit locked behind a bar that is more of a pain to fill up than with any other valor weapon I’ve used

#

Like valor GS is great, in part, because you fill up ur meter in like 2 or 3 good attacks.

#

Ik I gotta grab that one day for an ice sns, but I’ve been on dk and bolt almost exclusively recently

heady goblet
#

Not even for the ice

#

For the sheer fucking damage you get to smack monsters with

#

380 Raw with white sharpness is insane

heady goblet
#

It gets 380 raw it's final upgrade, yeah

rare knot
#

Bonkers

#

I will grind for this immediately SOLKEKW

#

Damn that sharpness kinda sucks, but that +10 def don’t lie

heady goblet
#

I mean, Jho Cena exists for a reason

rare knot
#

What is this jho cena I keep hearing about? Like ik what it is, but what’s it do?

heady goblet
#

Run Absolute Readiness for the infinite sharpness, and take like Chaos Oil3 and Metsu Shorugeki to shred shit

heady goblet
rare knot
#

Mixed set of deviljho and ceanotaur, right?

heady goblet
#

Correct

rare knot
#

Might have to try that, sounds busted

#

Already have the ceanotaur x set anyways lol

heady goblet
#

You need at least a Tenderizer +4 000 to run it I think

rare knot
#

Shit SinClueless

#

I think I have a tendy +5, but idk the slots

heady goblet
#

I mean, you just farm that one mining quest with the Brachydios

rare knot
#

Wait do quests reward specific talismans?

#

I thought they were entirely random, only the rarity is set?

heady goblet
#

The subquest to kill the Brachy gives like 15 Talisman

rare knot
#

Huh

heady goblet
#

Yeah

rare knot
#

That’s quite the deal

heady goblet
#

With a proper setup you can kill it in less than 2 minutes too

#

I think the fastest I've done it is like 2 minutes 10 seconds with a group of randoms

rare knot
#

Wacky

#

Oh it’s a G Hyper Brachy 💀

heady goblet
#

Yeah

rare knot
#

Been grinding for a decent hammer build today and it has come to my attention that Gore Magala’s hammer’s final form is literally just named the German words for “attention look”

#

Shit looks so good they called it the stop n stare SOLKEKW

frail crescent
#

It’s okay, Mizutsune is just a combo of water and fox in Japanese. So naming isn’t their biggest strength

rare knot
#

That’s so good

#

Oh my god I looked it up

#

Thats so good

#

Tho tbf, for an English speaker, shit like Achtungsblick and Mizutsune sound rad as hell

rose bison
rare knot
#

Gammoth is literally just short for Giant Mammoth

rose bison
#

thats true

rare knot
#

Gammoth has gotta have the worst name in mh history

frail crescent
#

I loveeee monster hunter naming conventions now. They just are like, “yeah what is it.” Uhhh, big monster guy, so they name it “big monster guy” just in another language

rare knot
#

Like that’s some pokemon shit

rose bison
#

lavasioth is just plesioth but lava and its not even a plesioth

rose bison
rare knot
#

actually chameleos is pretty bad too

rose bison
#

pokemons names go hard

rare knot
#

Also a pokemon name

frail crescent
#

Chameleos being an elder dragon is lammmmeeee

rare knot
rose bison
#

my favorite names are the ones like dalamadur

rose bison
#

it got better as it went on

frail crescent
#

Teostra? Hell yeah, that’s an ancient beast of death. A chemeleon tho????

rare knot
#

It’s like “hey here’s my design for my pokemon “rockbro”

rose bison
#

its a scary chameleon

rare knot
#

“Hmm nah we can’t use that”

rose bison
#

anyways

#

elder dragon is a category for monsters that they dont quite understand

#

they dont really know how chameleos works

rare knot
rose bison
#

so he's an elder dragon

rare knot
#

It implies either A) the mh world has chameleons like ours, and they named them exactly the same, or B) they just named this guy similar to similar creatures in our world

frail crescent
#

Hey what’s that new monster design you made, “yeah, we combined a sea dragon with a fox. We’re calling it ‘Waterox’”

rare knot
#

That’s like calling ratholos Draganeon or some shit

rose bison
#

calling rathalos wyvereon

rare knot
#

Right my bad

rose bison
#

wyvereon kinda goes hard though

frail crescent
#

Invisilizard but like in latin

rose bison
#

i like that name

rare knot
#

Mid species Ed by bro

#

Bro autocorrect butchered that on several fronts wtf

rose bison
#

yeah i have no idea what you were tryna say

rare knot
#

Misspeciesed my bro

frail crescent
#

Tokereru is a chemeleos name using the same logic as Mizutsune. Basically just means “hiding lizard”

rare knot
#

Portmanteau of the Japanese word for invisible and a Latin word for lizard

#

(According to Google)

rose bison
#

velociprey

frail crescent
#

You can just come up with all sorts of cool names with their logic

frail crescent
rose bison
#

velociprey and velocidrome

rare knot
#

That’s why “chameleos” is so boring

rose bison
#

bad names

rare knot
#

And velociprey lmao

rose bison
#

not good

rare knot
#

Boring as hell

#

Makes the monster worse

frail crescent
#

Velociraptor but it’s not a hunter

#

Honestly, too many of Rise’s early monsters are just Velocirators with a twist. That’s the only thing I’d change

rare knot
#

Name the shits Murderkillfucker and they’d be scary as hell

rare knot
#

Your first few hunts are always just “big bear” or “here’s our 87th recolor of the jaggi but this time it shoots fire instead of poison”

#

I think that’s why ratholos is so cool tho, cuz he’s almost always the first thing you fight that’s like “oh fuck this thing is huge I can’t do this wtf”

frail crescent
#

HOLY HELL TEOSTRA’S NAME IS SO COOL IN ORIGIN

rare knot
#

Wassup

frail crescent
#

It’s a shortened version of Teo Tesukatoru

rare knot
#

Oh also, Fatalis. That’s such a rad fucking name.

#

It’s a scary fuckin name

rose bison
#

for a scary monster

rare knot
#

Exactly

#

He deserves that

rose bison
#

that thing is literally the natural predator of humanity

frail crescent
#

Teo is a word derived from the Greek word for God, and Tesukatoru is taken from an Aztec god who threw himself into a fire to become the sun

rose bison
#

fatalis is a perfect name

frail crescent
#

So basically Teostra is just “Flaming Sun God”

rare knot
#

That’s pretty sick honestly

rose bison
#

and then

#

lunastra

rare knot
#

Teostra is also a sick name

rose bison
#

hey we took this one cool guy and just changed the first letter so its moon god

rare knot
#

Even without that context

rare knot
frail crescent
#

What game is Fatalis from? Cuz I keep hearing about it and haven’t seen it

rose bison
#

lunastra is really cool

#

uhhh all of them except rise

#

i think

rose bison
#

im sad that he isnt in rise

rare knot
#

Canonically only world tho lmao

rose bison
#

i wanna fight fatalis but i dont wanna play world

frail crescent
#

I wanna fight it too

rare knot
#

Also, Rajang. Baller name

#

Love rajang

heady goblet
rose bison
#

idk if it has anything to do with monkeys but it just sounds like raging

#

and he's always raging

#

it would be peak if it was a reference to a vegetable, like saiyans

#

but idk

rare knot
#

I remember before I knew what rajang was I heard then name and was like “yeah that’s a fuckin gorilla”

frail crescent
#

I love Rajang, he really is just a DBZ monster

rare knot
frail crescent
#

He kamehamehas you

rose bison
#

he does

#

he is quite literally just a saiyan

rare knot
rose bison

sun wukong potato potato tomato tomato

It’s all the same

rose bison

i love that saying in text

#

it makes it funny

rare knot
#

Okay okay

#

Azuros

rose bison
#

that reminds me of when slmccl said "when i hear people say 'hurt people hurt people' i know its supposed to mean something but i just hear a command twice"

rare knot
#

Literally just blue-os

#

Shitty name

rose bison
#

i never realized it was supposed to be like lbue

frail crescent
#

I hope in Wilds they have a Fatalis event fight for all of us who don’t wanna play all of world loll

rose bison
#

is he even blue

rare knot
#

He is kinda

rose bison
rare knot
#

He has blue fur and the scales (?) on his back are blue

#

But it’s weird he has the Spanish word for blue in his name

rose bison
#

oh you know a kinda funny name

#

volvidon

#

i just got reminded cause it shares some moveset with arzuros in rise

#

its like revolving don

rare knot
#

Call him fuckin shintsumi or something

frail crescent
#

He’s such like, a perfect monster design for the Monster Hunter world. Being a just like, western dragon is so thematically matching for the Hunter of humanity

rare knot
rose bison
#

it would be boring in any other context

rare knot
#

Same with narga and Tigrex in a way

rose bison
#

but in the monster hunter world its peak

frail crescent
#

I don’t like Tigrex but I love Anjanath

rose bison
#

its such a classic fantasy monster but thats terrifying in a world where every monster is grounded in realism

rare knot
#

With sns he’s so fun

rose bison
#

i dont like tigrex

#

i like his name tho

rare knot
#

But I always love portable team monsters tbh

rose bison
#

its like tiger and t.rex

icy stump
#

Tiggy is a big catto

frail crescent
#

Teostra I still think is one of the most terrifying monsters lore wise with his scale dust and igniting it. Like, that would be horrifying irl

rose bison
#

then cuga

#

we know that i love cuga

rare knot
#

Cuga is great

frail crescent
#

Nagacuga is so cool

#

I feel like if it had bioluminescence in its fur it could be so scary.

rare knot
#

Portable team always cooking, like zinogre

rose bison
#

lucent nargacuga is pretty scary

icy stump
rose bison
#

it goes invisible and the only thing you can see is its eyes

rare knot
#

Zinogre is so fucking sick

rose bison
icy stump
#

MFer gets special treatment

rare knot
#

I love him

rose bison
#

zinogre is so cool

icy stump
#

For a good fucking reason lol

rose bison

i cant get over zinogre

icy stump
#

Peak dog

frail crescent
rose bison

his actual biology is peak too

rare knot
#

Magnamalo is also cool as fuck

rose bison
icy stump
rose bison
#

magnamalo is peak but the fights having some similar moves is weird

icy stump
#

They didnt fail persay

#

But at the same time

rare knot
#

One point for the main team tho, gore magala

icy stump
#

You ain't topping zinogre

icy stump
frail crescent

I just think that Magnamalo’s face is what messes with it for me

rare knot
#

Also, I love Frenzy

rose bison
rose bison
rare knot
#

Love this dude so much

icy stump
#

Gore was my nemesis in 4U lol

rose bison
#

wasnt that the point

#

of the story

rare knot
#

I remember being genuinely scared when I had to fight him off for the first time in 4U

icy stump
#

Pain in the ass first time on the boat, 2nd time in the ever woods, 3rd time I kill the bastard

rose bison
#

i love his cloak

#

he looks like a supervillain

icy stump
#

....then he was like "nah bitch I lived" and came back as shaggy

rare knot
#

Even now fighting him in GU, I’ll feel like I’m doing fine, but then the screen goes dark and ik im about to get deep fried

rose bison
#

then he looks like the sickest alien ever when the wings are out

icy stump
#

Little middle schooler me was pissed that mother fucker wasn't dead still

rose bison
#

i love how shagaru magala is the rebellious teenager becoming the messiah

#

and chaotic gore is just the failed ascension

#

chaotic gore is awesome honestly

icy stump
#

Chaotic gore in rise fucked me up

#

||that son of a bitch weaponized my own fucking muscle memory against me||

#

That bastard

#

Love it conceptually

#

Hate that it still gets me SOLKEKW

rose bison
icy stump
#

||like with the cross chain bomb, normally it's front and or horizontal, on chaotic it goes diagonal, and a lot of his attacks have weird timings for a gore||

rose bison
#

i see

icy stump
#

Honestly shit like that is the best part of SB

#

The devs saw how strong the players were and actually balanced the game around the new shit

#

Like yeah you can blow through things

#

But you gotta relearn fight and new timing and shit

#

It's fantastic

frail crescent
#

I’m loving sunbreak

icy stump
#

Greato

hushed kelp
#

Speaking on neat monster attack design, I love when monsters do move that mimic their stun or knockdown animations but it's really a faint for another attack

#

The example that comes to mind is Magnamalo, primarily the little role he does

#

It's not the best example, but it just feels really clever

rose bison
#

the dragonslayer armor has an attack like that where it looks like you knock him down into phase 2, and then he hits you

hushed kelp
#

Not familiar, but yeah sounds pretty cool!

rare knot
#

Playing a bit of GS after using sns exclusively for a while, and I keep looking for my oils in the heat of battle

icy stump
#

Ngl

#

Oils shouldve been universal to all melee weapons

rare knot
#

It’s such a cool idea tbh

icy stump
#

True and real

rare knot
#

Tho what if diff weapons got different kinds of oils?

icy stump
#

Give em som extra utility to compete with Gunner weapons lol

rare knot
#

Like imagine a guard oil or something for heavier weapons

#

Tho I think every weapon should have minds eye oil, it’s stupid that they don’t

icy stump
rare knot
#

Yeah that’s fair

icy stump
rare knot
#

But only sns gets chaos oil, that’s its thing

#

Tho I could concede on DB getting it as well

icy stump
#

Hard body parts are fun conceptually but having monsters like grav who are all hard fucking sucks

rare knot
#

Imagine DB with archdemon mode, chaos oil 3, and mega dash juice SOLKEKW

icy stump
rare knot
#

That’s just mega dash juice tho SOLKEKW

icy stump
#

Nah cause like

#

You still lose stamina when evading

#

But it also gives you some leg room when dealing with building the gauge

#

In the newer games we get valor Oil which temporarily makes your weapon act like it's valor style equivalent SOLKEKW

rare knot
#

HBG in wilds being OP for like 2 minutes SOLKEKW

heady goblet
rare knot
#

No weapon has natural constant minds eye

heady goblet
#

Great sword

rare knot
#

Some attacks on some weapons have minds eye, but minds eye oil give you constant minds eye

rare knot
icy stump
#

Ehh

#

It gets a extra sharpness multiplier

heady goblet
#

Any charge attack has mind eye

rare knot
#

Yeah but that’s charge attacks

icy stump
#

Nah that's a extra charge multiplier

rare knot
#

Gs would benefit less, but it could still benefit

icy stump
#

If the thing has enough resistance it still bounces

rare knot
#

But maybe not enough to warrant using minds eye oil over critical oil or somethin idk

#

Something like Lance or DB would benefit greatly from minds eye oil tho

icy stump
#

That and the sweet spot towards the hilt of the blade I think also gives extra sharpness multiplier

#

Some GS attacks have innate minds eye, but those are mostly fringe cases

#

Like adepts dash swing

rare knot
#

Ah gotcha

#

I’d prolly use Stam oil most on GS tho tbh

#

Getting KO’s off lvl 3 charge slash would be nuts

#

Side note but Valor GS is a match made in heaven. Valor was made for this weapon on god

icy stump
#

You see it now

#

The unmatched potential

icy stump
#

The sick as fuck dash swings

heady goblet
#

I may prefer Adept GS, but Valor is just insane

rare knot
#

I still haven’t learned everything about it yet, but now I’m kinda seeing the path and it’s soooo nice

#

Its valor mode unsheath attack is sooooo good. I throw lion’s maw on top and monsters don’t stand a chance

#

Speaking of, anyone know off the top of their head how to get lion’s maw 3?

icy stump
#

But you still get a strong charge

rare knot
#

Oh god lions maw 3 is behind a 5 monster hunt InoPlan

#

Time open the lobby SOLKEKW

heady goblet
icy stump
#

Really?

heady goblet
#

Yeah

icy stump
#

I always thought crit draw was the meta way

#

And zipping around was suboptimal

heady goblet
#

It is for it's consistent crit damage, but the unsheathed has a higher motion value

icy stump
#

Cause like crit draw gets a faster charge time with valor

icy stump
#

Right cause the dash swing bumps it's damage up even more

heady goblet
#

Actually the dash swing has the lowest motion value of the bunch

#

By like 20-30 points I think

icy stump
#

I could've sworn that got a damage buff

heady goblet
#

Nope

icy stump
#

Hmm

heady goblet
#

Because you misposition and it's meant to be a sort of band-aid for that situation

rare knot
#

Wait so by thr unsheathed attacks you mean the attack when you unsheath the sword, or the attack when your sword is already unsheathed?

heady goblet
#

The attack when it's already unsheathed

rare knot
#

Ah okay

#

So the blue glowing charges

heady goblet
#

Yes

rare knot
#

I’ll keep that in mind

heady goblet
#

It's fun too

#

I have a blast doing it

rare knot
#

Currently in a lobby with 3 valor gs players SOLKEKW

there is certainly one

I say it a lot too but man every time I mess with valor I get sad

frail crescent
#

Whoever determined Wyvern gem drop rates does not deserve joy

heady goblet
#

Are you talking about the hunters notes?

frail crescent
#

Yeah

#

1% drop chance and I need two of them for the weapons I want

heady goblet
#

Not knowing the percent doesn't change it

frail crescent
#

?

heady goblet
#

The drop chance would be the same regardless of whether you were aware of it or not

frail crescent
#

Yep

#

It just sucks

#

Cuz that’s a stupidly low odds

heady goblet
#

It is what it is

rose bison
#

wait till you see mantle drop rates

#

(its the same drop rates)

heady goblet
#

But in a harder difficulty this time

rose bison
#

the difference is that gems get less rare as you go up in difficulty

#

mantles are only available at the highest difficulty

#

they stay the same

heady goblet
#

And even then you have ways to increase mantle drop chances

rose bison
#

also gems are available from different monsters at the same time

heady goblet
#

Up to like 5% in total I think

rose bison
#

mantles are always monster specific arent they

heady goblet
#

Correct

rose bison
#

there are like

#

mantle gems

#

i dont remember exactly what the rarest types of gems are called

heady goblet
#

Technically if a monster has a harder version you can get the same mantle from multiple monsters

rose bison
#

like

#

a variant?

#

no variants would have different mantles

heady goblet
#

Tachy Brachy for example

#

In G Rank base Brachy can only drop the Pallium

rose bison
#

oh im only thinking of rise idk how it works in world

#

i mean

#

any other game

heady goblet
#

But Raging Brachy can drop both the Pallium and the Immortal Reactor

heady goblet
rose bison
#

theres less variants in rise tbf

heady goblet
#

True

rose bison
#

most of them if not all are in sunbreak

#

well apexes count ig

#

so yeah there are some variants in base rise

rare knot
#

I only get mantles and gems when i am grinding for something else

rose bison
#

yeah me too

#

i have like 7 zinogre jaspers that i got while grinding for like 2 zinogre shockers+

rare knot
#

I once got like three or four ratholos rubies while farming for a single plate

rose bison
#

i got 8 plates while farming for a ruby

#

So funny how that works out

rose bison
#

we're like alternate universe versions of eachother

heady goblet
#

The like

#

4 different gems I got from that one Shagaru when all I wanted were cortexes

rose bison
#

rathalos ruby is actually my least favorite thing to get i think

rare knot
#

Today I was farming for iridescent plates or whatever from Ahtal, because I had gotten 2 without knowing from my previous three times hunting him

#

Took 5 more hunts to get 1

rose bison
#

the monsters i like the least are usually not monsters with weapons i want

#

except for rathalos

rare knot
#

Literally the moment I wanted them the drop tables were like “nah”

rose bison
#

he's like one of my least favorites to fight but he has good weapons that i love

so it sucks

Could be GU

I fucking hate ceanotaur

Dogshit monsters

i know daimyo hermitaur is

I don’t think he is

just lost because he was annoying
