Because it's fun
you want a small weapon thats flashy, man do i have a frontier ffor you
And if you play Dual Blades it's because you have a god complex, but that's neither here nor there
prob been posted here but this is the time to post the clip of the flashiest small weapon in wilds
I LIED THE HUNTING HORN IS SECOND LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Peak
thats the awesomest thing ive ever seen
This MFer playing GG what the
live tetranadon reaction
Love my tetranadon
love my 'nadon
all my enemies are inside it (lagombi)
he is unaware of the events that are about to unfold
this could have been a selfie joke
Me pulling up with the lighter someone gave me alongside 50 bucks
coouldnt figure out how to take a selfie
i mean you pronounce your name as barrel. the joke works less in text but its there
they call you barrel because you're the bomb
Mizutsune is the best
you ever just get so bored you think about buying rise for no reason
no because i already have rise on multiple platforms
You should buy it so I have another person to hunt with
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
What were they cooking with that beta
Something that could have only been fueled by energy drinks and desperation
And a fuck ton of polygons
someone dropped their bag of polygons onto the game
Praying we get low poly monsters as an event or something
Very humorous
probably didn't want people to see the game files of the finished game so they just sent a early build that you can't find too much in it
Capcom desperate to keep information from leaking
Maybe the full game doesn't have a 40k vertices Chatacabra
oh please
100k polygons of my fav monster,,
i heard there was already a massive leak tho
Which means they gave us porygons for nothing
But memes
gore kamala
and it turns into shagaru MAGAla
crazy turn of events
You cooking too much
stove broken
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

yeah its cause its an optimization bug not a performance issue
Well it's a beta after all
Exactly
L bozo
i will not sub to gamepass and play mon hun
why would you either?
cuz i got the grind itch
Then dont do it
I really hope we get Mizutsune in Wilds. Genuinely obsessed with that monster
Nah we need gammoth
It's the only fated four to not be in Gen 5
no more rock based monsters
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
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
Fun fact
Valor HBG was explicitly designed to shred his ass
heavenly blade gun?
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
oh its prob heavy bow gun
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
Exactly
Running through the game with people I'll avoid using it
Plesi, or grav?
They're fucking dead
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
Turn that mf into a cutscene
"and for my next trick I'll make a asshole disappear!"
anyone wanna help me with some Rise (PC) hunts? I’m trying to get some more main quests done.
ID: L2Kr-NJr2-Q4KQ-fEGJ
Code: 4862
Would love to, helldiving rn
Word, feel free to hop in whenever you want
I hate Tigrex
He's like a big cat chasing a Lazer pointer (every living thing aside from itself is the red dot)
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
If you spin counter the direction of his spin it legally cannot damage you because it cancels out, it's the law
If you spin in the same direction as him, I wonder if yall would combine spins and spin around like a beyblade
Still one of the best videos I've made
Honster Munter
Yed
i keep saying that tigrex is fun
you keep lyin
shut up
like a leo player, whats the problem?
if he had more variety id like tigrex
he doesnt have unreactable mix that loops into itself
give tigrex a fullscreen low that leads into backturn and i might consider enjoying him
We need to give tigrex a flashkick, you are right
he also needs like
bloodbath diablos backstory
just steal the backstory
its tigrex's now
shagaru tigrex
when he´s enraged he does like bayle and grows two wings more
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
Doesn't zenith get sonic boom?
Grimclaw has power geyser
he gets sandblast and sonic boom
Gotta pop the wings to flash him
Just 1
But that one thing makes or breaks a dk hunt
God dammit 
So to use flashbombs to get him on the ground, I have to get them on the ground to hit his wings
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
Chief idk what to say, I’m playing sns 
I don’t have a gunner build good enough for DK rn, and I’m fighting DK for its sns 
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
🤔
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
DK’s armor doesn’t look like anything I’d need for sns? Tho idk what the dreadking skill does
Deviants skills combine two other skills
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)
I’m already getting sick of it 
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
Nice
You’re right, I’m opening my lobby next time 
Boltreaver set looks p good for sns actually
It’s got some sharpness and crit skills

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 
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
SHE IS but she’s also so scary
She’s rad as hell but I wish she didnt 2 cart me 5 minutes in
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
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
Minds eye oil is good for when it doesn't lather up the tail or claws
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
Wait does the lathering soften up the skin or harden it?
Oh ok, got it 
Online hubs get hella active once you break HR
Literally always have a fully lobby
Any GU players wanna help me grind Boltreaver?
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
Diving Wyvern is the most satisfying thing ever
Adorable
Anyone wanna do some 6* hunts on rise with me?
Sure, I'm down
I retract my statement, it is 5 am and I should go to sleep, good luck though.
Rampage quests suckkkk
am I the only person who genuinely enjoys rampage quests a little
They just boring and kinda drawn out imo
I guess I mostly played them solo
so they weren't particularly boring for me
They are tolerable with people
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
Counter point
Beating a horde of monsters back single handedly makes you feel like a badass
Fair, but it only feels that cool during counter gongs because you actually get to solo every massive monster. Rather than use machinery
Nah I do it anyway
Just frontload auto armaments and go nuts
Lmaooo, valid
Currently doing Rise PC 6* for MSQ if anyone wants to join
THAT NARWA FIGHT WAS SICKK
Hell yeah it is
i stopped playing world since I hunted everything but fatalis
but its really fun to just hunt random monsters
real gamers solo fatalis
I named my Palico Geeber and I love him dearly
geeber!
A truly amazing name lol
Going forward all my Palico's will be named Duck King [insert number]
Wilds will see the introduction of Duck King IV
im trying
i gotta stop committing to tcs every second
I think when wilds comes out I’ll make Geebert
im running out of fuel names for my cats
Time to start using more languages
we have Petrol, Benzene, Hidrocarbons and Propane
still got Diesel, Gasoline AND more
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
gonna discover new compounds so i can name mine lmao
You do hydroglecerin yet?
But
You're supposed to pull the pin on grenades
thats why im putting it
Not put it in
i just looked up hydroglycerin cause i was curious
my life has been a lie
yummers
its not
its like a medicine
Wha
you sure its not nitroglicerine?
Oh
lmao
i thought hydroglicerin was a bit odd if you were talking about fuel or explosives lmao
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
Yummers
Yummers
Apparently nitroglycerin cures butt problems
Don't fart too hard when you need it I guess

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
I like to name my palicos after foods and drinks
My current main palicos in GU are Biscuit and OrangeSoda
There’s also Pop Tart
All my Palicos are named Luna after my irl cat
i always name my palamutes after dogs i have/had
My owl is Mr. Tweetums Jr.
cuuga
DEATH.
Kamura Village is a firm believer in the right to keep and bear arms, cats and dogs too
Peak monster
smth smth I wish rukodiora made it in wilds
so doesn't this look kind of bad
smh, i know this is gonna fail cause I haven't seen greatsword once
Its worse
the heck is this
Those appear to be guild hunters clad in weapons sir.
(from the new mh mobile game !)
ANOTHER mh mobile game?
Yep
Am I wrong to not think this is really monster hunter
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
It’s green and a few feathers, this looks like it’s from a fantasy dnd game
Its because of the face
Looks like they took a dnd elf and shaved the ears
Don’t tell me this will be a gacha
what is this?
mobile monster hunter game
Fuckin RIP
im just grinding for rathian armor right now cause I got no idea what to get
And then Lucent Nargacuga becomes meta after dlc
i still hold my cuga hammer with love
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
yeah but mischief doesnt like playing mh
Rippith
spitting?
but i just want a better weapon
cause I got the hunting set right now
want me to speedrun you through low and high rank?
i used to be that way
then the combat clicked for me and suddenly everything was awesome
sure
Nargacuga doesn't appear until LR4, which isn't terrible but is a little bit of a wait
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
my narga
Sloth always waiting for a 'gacu'
Anyone wanna run some hunts on rise PC, I just got master rank
Teostra might be my new favorite monster in terms of design and gameplay in tandem
God that was so cool
This game is sick as fuck. I love it so much.
Factual
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
i miss the wilds weapons trailers showing up
Oh, speaking of wilds, did anyone who played the demo try out insect glaive? And if so, was it still as fun as rise?
I didn't play the demo but they gutted the aerial stuff
Haven't played it myself, but allegedly it lost alot of its aerial acrobatic tomfoolery
It lost the aerial stuff true, but it became very fun in a similar "constant tomfoolery" way. It's really easy to get essences or whatever buff, then you can do a special move once you have all three to do a bunch of damage all at once, and the attack in and of itself can even completely replenish all of your essences if you time/do it right
Also almost all standard attacks in focus mode send out your kinsect alongside the actual attack
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
Fair fair, I’m hoping it’s just as, if not more fun than in rise cuz it’s easily my favorite play style
can that weapon even solo fatalis
oh seri seeing your name reminded me i wanted to ask you a question
what's your question?
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
it's usually a reset
rip
i thought every weapon could
i thought it was so low damage that you needed 2 hours to mathematically kill him
is this for fatalis?
just in general
across all Time Attack runs
Switch Axe can solo Fatty in less than 8 minutes
and IG is better (presumably)
looks like im doomed to constantly play the mid tier no matter the game i go to
at least you don't play the worst weapon...
Eh, with MH who cares about tiers. Just pick what you like smacking stuff with the most
my old main is worse than insects
whats the difference between average time (s) and a
If you fear grass, IG, if you have 4 braincells, do GS, if you hate challenge, pick LS
sigma is the standard deviation
also true, I don't think theres really rankings for any weapons since everything works
also how trust worthy is this? wasnt world speedrunning community plagued with people changing monster AI for better times?
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.
LS is just as tough as every other weapon
if you doubt that, then try playing it against any decent monster
I’m aware I just like bullying it
It’s fun as hell, I love it I just needed something to bully it for
honestly i find it more complicated than most weapons lol
it took me so long to figure it out
Oh, btw, I just unlocked all mother fight for hub, anyone wanna do it with me?
PC, Rise
Idk, I imagine bigger than Rise
Hopefully
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?
peak cinema
My favorite isekai
I like the part where resident evil lady hunts the monsters
Durr?
Me when 1
I think he just wants a treat
Reject TCS
Return to valor style
Ok. GU?
Wanna help me with deviants? 
I don’t got that one 😔
Tbh I still haven’t beaten sunbreak
I got stuck on the wolf thing I think and just kinda put it down for GU
I only just got into Sunbreak, it’s really fun rn
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
I’m hoping Wilds is similar pace as Rise
Give it like 4 years
Portable team gonna make Generations 2 I can feel it

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
Honestly switch skills is a great alternative to styles
I hope we get more varied ones so you can essentially build your own style
That’s not a bad idea
Like guard tackle on GS was stupid cause it was a side grade
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
Even tho some did replace moves and modify stuff n allat
The best ones were the ones that were a big change to how you do what you do
Like surge slash
Or the charge sword vs axe
For CB
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
True
Oh and alchemy
I think valor is genuinely the best iteration of most of the weapons
Like
It's strong
Alchemy is a cool idea that I think wasn’t expanded enough in gen
But it's only strong if you already get the weapon
Agree
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
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”
Instant S tier style
Ok but
This is why Striker exists
The flippies cool as fuck tho
Like why would you play sns anything but guild, striker, or aerial
Yeah that’s why I play striker
I like valor sns
Chaos Oil is the single best art in the game, maybe besides lions maw
They are but having some iframes doesn’t save them from being kinda useless
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
Nuh uh the repositioning is fantastic
Use valstrax sns
You gotta give the Elderfrost SnS a shot with it, it's pretty goated if you hit it with the Jho Cena
Win
I do lmao
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.
Hmmm maybe. I need to take a break from deviants honestly 
Ik I gotta grab that one day for an ice sns, but I’ve been on dk and bolt almost exclusively recently
Not even for the ice
For the sheer fucking damage you get to smack monsters with
380 Raw with white sharpness is insane
It gets 380 raw it's final upgrade, yeah
Bonkers
I will grind for this immediately 
Damn that sharpness kinda sucks, but that +10 def don’t lie
I mean, Jho Cena exists for a reason
What is this jho cena I keep hearing about? Like ik what it is, but what’s it do?
Run Absolute Readiness for the infinite sharpness, and take like Chaos Oil3 and Metsu Shorugeki to shred shit
A mixed set, it gave Crit Eye +2 depending on your talisman, Tenderizer, Crit Boost, Sharpness +2, and Razor Sharp
Mixed set of deviljho and ceanotaur, right?
Correct
You need at least a Tenderizer +4 000 to run it I think
I mean, you just farm that one mining quest with the Brachydios
Wait do quests reward specific talismans?
I thought they were entirely random, only the rarity is set?
The subquest to kill the Brachy gives like 15 Talisman
Yeah
That’s quite the deal
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
Yeah
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 
It’s okay, Mizutsune is just a combo of water and fox in Japanese. So naming isn’t their biggest strength
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
nergigante just means black giant in italian
Gammoth is literally just short for Giant Mammoth
thats true
Gammoth has gotta have the worst name in mh history
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
Like that’s some pokemon shit
lavasioth is just plesioth but lava and its not even a plesioth
pokemon has crazy names dont diss it like that
actually chameleos is pretty bad too
pokemons names go hard
Also a pokemon name
Chameleos being an elder dragon is lammmmeeee
Bro even in gen 1 there was shit like “geodude”
my favorite names are the ones like dalamadur
gen 1 has the worst designs and names and everything
it got better as it went on
Teostra? Hell yeah, that’s an ancient beast of death. A chemeleon tho????
It’s like “hey here’s my design for my pokemon “rockbro”
its a scary chameleon
“Hmm nah we can’t use that”
anyways
elder dragon is a category for monsters that they dont quite understand
they dont really know how chameleos works
I’m fine with chameleos being an elder dragon or whatever, but his name is bs
so he's an elder dragon
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
Hey what’s that new monster design you made, “yeah, we combined a sea dragon with a fox. We’re calling it ‘Waterox’”
What would you name him?
That’s like calling ratholos Draganeon or some shit
calling rathalos wyvereon
Right my bad
wyvereon kinda goes hard though
Invisilizard but like in latin
i like that name
yeah i have no idea what you were tryna say
Misspeciesed my bro
Tokereru is a chemeleos name using the same logic as Mizutsune. Basically just means “hiding lizard”
Mienstilio
Portmanteau of the Japanese word for invisible and a Latin word for lizard
(According to Google)
That one’s cool too tbh
velociprey
You can just come up with all sorts of cool names with their logic
I hate those guys name
velociprey and velocidrome
That’s why “chameleos” is so boring
bad names
And velociprey lmao
not good
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
Name the shits Murderkillfucker and they’d be scary as hell
Older MH games are worse
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”
HOLY HELL TEOSTRA’S NAME IS SO COOL IN ORIGIN
Wassup
rathalos is so cool
hes so swag
It’s a shortened version of Teo Tesukatoru
for a scary monster
that thing is literally the natural predator of humanity
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
fatalis is a perfect name
So basically Teostra is just “Flaming Sun God”
That’s pretty sick honestly
Teostra is also a sick name
hey we took this one cool guy and just changed the first letter so its moon god
Even without that context
Lunastra is still kinda cool tho
What game is Fatalis from? Cuz I keep hearing about it and haven’t seen it
All
im sad that he isnt in rise
The first
Canonically only world tho lmao
i wanna fight fatalis but i dont wanna play world
I wanna fight it too
You could always fight the 12 other bad versions in the older games
rajang is such a good name
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
I remember before I knew what rajang was I heard then name and was like “yeah that’s a fuckin gorilla”
I love Rajang, he really is just a DBZ monster
Oh I didn’t even think about that
He kamehamehas you
Technically Journey to the West monster 🤓
sun wukong potato potato tomato tomato
It’s all the same
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"
i never realized it was supposed to be like lbue
I hope in Wilds they have a Fatalis event fight for all of us who don’t wanna play all of world loll
is he even blue
He is kinda
i hope they have one just so he comes back
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
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
Call him fuckin shintsumi or something
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
Oh yeah azuros, lagombi, and volvidion are kinda copy pasted lmao
i just love it
it would be boring in any other context
Same with narga and Tigrex in a way
but in the monster hunter world its peak
I don’t like Tigrex but I love Anjanath
its such a classic fantasy monster but thats terrifying in a world where every monster is grounded in realism
I fucking LOVE Tigrex
With sns he’s so fun
But I always love portable team monsters tbh
its like tiger and t.rex
Tiggy is a big catto
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
Cuga is great
Nagacuga is so cool
I feel like if it had bioluminescence in its fur it could be so scary.
Portable team always cooking, like zinogre
lucent nargacuga is pretty scary
Zinogre is portable teams baby boy
it goes invisible and the only thing you can see is its eyes
Zinogre is so fucking sick
zinogre man
MFer gets special treatment
I love him
zinogre is so cool
For a good fucking reason lol
i cant get over zinogre
Peak dog
Zinogre feels like a god of lightning and a natural other side of Magnamalo to me. I love him
his actual biology is peak too
Magnamalo is also cool as fuck
i wish magnamalo was less like zinogre, its bringing my boy down a bit
Magnamalo honestly feels like portable team tryna recapture the zinogre magic
magnamalo is peak but the fights having some similar moves is weird
One point for the main team tho, gore magala
You ain't topping zinogre
Genuinely great storytelling via hunts
I just think that Magnamalo’s face is what messes with it for me
Also, I love Frenzy
heck yeah
its such a cool mechanic
Samurai kitteh
Gore was my nemesis in 4U lol
I remember being genuinely scared when I had to fight him off for the first time in 4U
Pain in the ass first time on the boat, 2nd time in the ever woods, 3rd time I kill the bastard
....then he was like "nah bitch I lived" and came back as shaggy
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
then he looks like the sickest alien ever when the wings are out
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
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 
honestly i dont remember that part
||his moves are designed in a way to get you if you dodge the way you normally do||
||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||
i see
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
I’m loving sunbreak
Greato
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
reminds me of dark souls 3
the dragonslayer armor has an attack like that where it looks like you knock him down into phase 2, and then he hits you
Not familiar, but yeah sounds pretty cool!
Playing a bit of GS after using sns exclusively for a while, and I keep looking for my oils in the heat of battle
It’s such a cool idea tbh
True and real
Tho what if diff weapons got different kinds of oils?
Give em som extra utility to compete with Gunner weapons lol
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
This definitely could be cool, but at the same time I feel like affinity/minds eye/destroyer/slugger is a good lineup
Yeah that’s fair
HH main in the corner laughing rn
But only sns gets chaos oil, that’s its thing
Tho I could concede on DB getting it as well
Hard body parts are fun conceptually but having monsters like grav who are all hard fucking sucks
Imagine DB with archdemon mode, chaos oil 3, and mega dash juice 
DB gets demon oil to remove demon mods passive stamina drain
That’s just mega dash juice tho 
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 
HBG in wilds being OP for like 2 minutes 
What would that do for weapons with Nat minds eye though
No weapon has natural constant minds eye
Great sword
Some attacks on some weapons have minds eye, but minds eye oil give you constant minds eye
Wait, real shit?
Any charge attack has mind eye
Yeah but that’s charge attacks
Nah that's a extra charge multiplier
Gs would benefit less, but it could still benefit
If the thing has enough resistance it still bounces
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
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
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
Indeed
The sick as fuck dash swings
I may prefer Adept GS, but Valor is just insane
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?
If you hold X+A when drawing you don't do the lil slide valor strong charge draw does
But you still get a strong charge
Technically the optimal way to play is to zip around with the quickstep and land those unsheathed charge attacks
Really?
Yeah
It is for it's consistent crit damage, but the unsheathed has a higher motion value
Cause like crit draw gets a faster charge time with valor
Ah
Right cause the dash swing bumps it's damage up even more
Actually the dash swing has the lowest motion value of the bunch
By like 20-30 points I think
I could've sworn that got a damage buff
Nope
Hmm
Because you misposition and it's meant to be a sort of band-aid for that situation
Wait so by thr unsheathed attacks you mean the attack when you unsheath the sword, or the attack when your sword is already unsheathed?
The attack when it's already unsheathed
Yes
I’ll keep that in mind
Currently in a lobby with 3 valor gs players 
Based
Dual blades are fun but every weapon needs some skill where they leave the ground. I haven’t found one on DB yet
Jumping of ledges and swinging lmao
Damn that feels good
Valor GS is so busted lmao
I’m so mad valor isnt in any other mh. This shit rocks
That's what I've been sayin'!
I say it a lot too but man every time I mess with valor I get sad
Whoever determined Wyvern gem drop rates does not deserve joy
Are you talking about the hunters notes?
Not knowing the percent doesn't change it
?
The drop chance would be the same regardless of whether you were aware of it or not
It is what it is
But in a harder difficulty this time
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
And even then you have ways to increase mantle drop chances
also gems are available from different monsters at the same time
Up to like 5% in total I think
mantles are always monster specific arent they
Correct
there are like
mantle gems
i dont remember exactly what the rarest types of gems are called
Technically if a monster has a harder version you can get the same mantle from multiple monsters
But Raging Brachy can drop both the Pallium and the Immortal Reactor
It's the same system
theres less variants in rise tbf
True
most of them if not all are in sunbreak
well apexes count ig
so yeah there are some variants in base rise
I only get mantles and gems when i am grinding for something else
yeah me too
i have like 7 zinogre jaspers that i got while grinding for like 2 zinogre shockers+
I once got like three or four ratholos rubies while farming for a single plate
i got 8 plates while farming for a ruby
So funny how that works out
we're like alternate universe versions of eachother
The like
4 different gems I got from that one Shagaru when all I wanted were cortexes
rathalos ruby is actually my least favorite thing to get i think
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
the monsters i like the least are usually not monsters with weapons i want
except for rathalos
Literally the moment I wanted them the drop tables were like “nah”
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 remember having to farm Ceanotaur in GU for his set
Where he's a staple of every half decent set
dang
But I had to fight him like 10 times
You did the Hyper one, right?
Hyper Cenataur
The one with the armor pieces that you actually want
that reminds me actually
i think i did fight ceanataur
just lost because he was annoying
bleed is one of my least favorite status effects
I’ll just run Rathalos armor idc lmao
and bubbleblight is in rise too
Because it's Chest and Waist just hand you RS with decent slots
Bubble is cool tho
