Which monsters from MonHun make the best monster girls?

World mods fucking where? All I see is bullshit model swaps and a shitty mod to remove the glowing flies that breaks all the time.

>Odogaron is a really cool new monster

>forever stuck in a shitter game with no G rank

>will never know how it feels to have a real high level hunt with it

What HR were you when your rank unlocked for G rank?

I transferred my save and ended up at 58

>>15411292

>Jho gets added

>it's piss weak

This game will remain entirely pointless without G rank

>>15411033

You cheeky smut Bateman!

>>15411269

It's gotta be one year until G rank next year. And Capcom will make you buy the whole game again.

>>15411269

Half of the games have no G rank G rank is glorified DLC.

>>15411492

This image is bad and you deserve a slap

>>15411524

The second part of this seems like it's for trans but the first isn't? confused

Is G ranks really harder? Whats the diffrence between fighting a monster with level 1 armor (forgot the tiers are called) and monsters at g rank? the armor proportional to the armor defnese? Is it really a harder?

>>15411537

Monsters get more moves, deal more damage and normally also G rank only monsters

a G rank monster will do more damage to you wearing the highest armor rating G rank gear than a HR monster would in the highest armor HR gear

>>15411521

I guess it's in reference to tranny hookers? Imagine being such a dumbass you actually hire a tranny hooker. Then, imagine being such a dumbass you actually hire a tranny hooker, without knowing or being able to tell it's a tranny.

>>15411569

Not even sure how they would do it for world given you automatically have the map and 3 Health potions really don't matter

maybe not being able to change armor or use your box items? even then that doesnt even come close to normal games where you have to actually remember the map and where monsters are

>>15411581

Even in the old games it was piss easy to navigate the map and find the monsters. If scoutflies didn't exist many of the maps would be pretty bitchy to navigate with all the forks and twists. Hell Ancient Forest is probably the reason they created scoutflies, the issue being is that they're too accurate. For G rank they just have to remove the ability to see the monster on the map. I doubt they'd go that far though. As for inability to access your item box that'd be nice but there's so much stuff on the map you can create a full stack of potions walking around normally, it wouldn't be that much of a difficulty modifier.

>>15411492

>well actually its called an expansion

Expansion used to mean something before dlc, actual campaigns on top of new factions and mechanics when Expansions were released it was exciting but now its predictable shit

>>15411581

They can kill the flies. I hate the fucking flies, and the arm crossbow that can't do shit since knives are box-only are super rare at that.

>>15411670

knives can also be dropped by gajalaka.

>>15411311

>High Rank monsters are piss weak

It's like you've never played a Monster Hunter game before. Anything but G-Rank has always been a joke.

>>15412703

>Anything but G-Rank has always been a joke

Not before world

>>15412714

>not before world

Specifically before world. High rank wasn't hard at all in previous games. In world it's at least a tiny bit of challenge because monsters dont telegraph their moves as bad as they did in previous games

>>15412722

>High rank wasn't hard at all in previous games

Compared to World it might as well be impossible

>>15412723

No, world hr is harder than previous hrs where as people stated monsters had very limited movesets. Teostra in world has all the moves from previous g rank games + stuff that actually makes it harder like not landing peacefully to eat that gs charge after flying and spraying fire, it flies around and does a dive in world.

I’m having fun working through generations for the first time. Unfortunately my friends are absolute worldfags that refuse to learn the older style.

>world hr is harder

Sometimes you'd think that people here aren't drunk with kool-aid but, alas, here they are.

Monsters having "more" movesets doesn't mean shit when it's heavily telegraphed that a retard could grab a popcorn while it happens or when the hunter is given more mobility and defensive maneuvers.

>>15412725

I can't say anything optimistic about them putting real effort into MHW, but in the old games G-Rank was NOT short. G-Rank was fully 2/3 of the game.

>>15412737

>Heavy telegraphed

You mean like the famous 2x90 degree turns in older mh games?

>>15412736

If they won't play vidya you suggest and won't suggest anything themselves they're not your friends or you are just a pussy

>nintendo will have paid online

They really want me to pirate that mhxx on n3ds dont they? Can you play lan online in pirated 3ds?

>>15412743

>You mean like the famous 2x90 degree turns in older mh games?

You mean something most monsters don't do since 3rd gen?

>>15412754

most still did that in mh4u

>>15412755

No they didn't

You worldfags shouldn't talk about games you haven't played.

>>15412757

>shouldn't talk about games you haven't played.

Oh the irony

>>15412743

>You mean like the famous 2x90 degree turns in older mh games?

You mean the move that came out instantly instead of having a massive tell like in World?

>>15412764

go to kiranico and check on individual monster resistance values

>>15412765

>the move that came out instantly instead of having a massive tell like in World?

which one are you taliking about?

>>15412771

The 180 tail swing, I realized after pressing reply that I was wrong and you were talking about the repositioning turns.

>>15412754

>arguing with worldfags

This song and dance has been done since release. They'll just tell you haven't played world even if you played the demo and bought the game because you're a retard that believed it would be better there.

Their arguments to this day haven't changed a bit that's why I left this shithole during their whole dickord debacle.

>>15412772

Yes i was talking about the turns, but you're right about tail swing, that one indeed got telegraphed animation but it was one of more harmless attacks rath could dish out

>>15412764

Look at the armor you can make out of the monsters parts even if you fail the first time there is a good chance you will get a scale or small part. That opens up the armor to be crafted. You most likely wont be able to make any but the armors weaknesses and strengths are almost always the same as the actual monster.

>>15412767

so there is no way to check in game? well that sucks.

Also I saw Generations ultimate in the store a day or two ago. Is it good? I haven't been keeping up at all with monster hunter.

>>15412783

it's newest mh title with fuckload of content. you damn right you want it

>>15412783

It's the second worst monster hunter game. It's better than world, but christ they tried their hardest to fuck it up. For brevity's sake I'm saying that Gen and Gen Ultimate are the same game

>>15412785

GenU certainly improved on a lot of shit, and G rank makes it worth it by not having you cheese it with arts

>>15412788

tell me anon, why do you want to fuck little boys?

>>15412791

Having arts at all is more than enough to say the game's the second worst. They're overpowered to the point where you're actively gimping yourself without them. It's like saying "lol you don't have to do great sword charge moves"

>>15412799

Basically styles are horribly balanced with certain ones being flat useless and others being absurdly overpowered. Anime Super moves on a charge gauge that once again are good enough where it's just gimping yourself if you don't use them, and one of the most underwhelming larger monsters as a flagship. G-rank fixes the underwhelming large monster, but it's still the second worst one behind world.

>>15412803

I wouldn't claim gen and gen ultimate are different games though, because there's an obviously easy bias against non-ultimate games. World doesn't get that because world's core systems are bad enough where even a G-rank wouldn't fix it.

Also I found that fight really boring.

>>15412794

There are literal guild run times with no arts used, hell HR and Grank monsters punish the DICK out of you for trying to spam shit like a tard, hell, some lower rank monsters too. Even the "but muh hp bloat" gets tossed out the window when new damage mechanics are put into account.

GenU is easily better than MH4U.

>>15412761

>no u

good one

>>15412764

>How do you know what the enemy is weak to

Kill them and see the resistances on their armor.

>>15412814

There are also runs where people use only fucking shadowboxing, what's the point you're trying to make here.

>>15412823

hey at least it didn't get stuck in an area transition :^)

>>15412832

They're not the top though, it's not "close" at all. also Absolute evasion carries people a ton.

>>15412830

I need vid proof that this is possible

>>15412835

>also Absolute evasion carries people a ton

Nobody runs absolute evasion

>>15412842

Nobody except the league of shitters who use it constantly as an excuse to not learn how to evade properly.

>>15412837

It is, but it's extremely rare and it's only happened to me once or twice in p3rd, and with the Royal Ludroth's fat rolly ass.

>>15412845

Shitters will remain shitters regardless of the game. You had Hame in 4U, prowlers in Gen and no skill mixed set retards in XX.

>>15412845

It takes too long to refill and automatically sheathes your weapon (not to mention has more frames of animation than the normal roll) in fact, that shit affects longterm DPS. I weep for anyone who spams arts.

>>15412855

Certain arts are flat dps boosts depending on the style and weapon though

>>15412855

Shitters would use it as a crutch to evade shit, but AE, for weapons that can afford it like gs and hammer, has primarily been a gapcloser in speedruns.

Brave GS comes to mind for short runs where you don't need the sharpen since it charges faster when sheathed.

>>15412869

>AE, for weapons that can afford it like gs and hammer, has primarily been a gapcloser in speedruns

Nah even then you wanna run AR. AE is a noob trap.

>>15411417

head only

>>15412729

Teostre is easy, even Tempered Teostre is easy. I've only played MHFU and MHW. The difficulty feels similar to me. Unless there was a monhun harder than MHFU, the MH franchise is not a hard game.

>>15412928

Oh boy, now they're hiring the poo-in-loos.

>>15412743

>If they won't play vidya you suggest and won't suggest anything themselves they're not your friends

Are you autistic, or just too underaged to understand what friendship is? There's more to friendship than just playing video games together. There are people who have friends that don't even play video games at all. I see retarded posts like this on /v/, and on the internet as a whole, about how "if your friends don't do X/don't like Y/don't think Z then they're not really your friends" and it constantly pisses me off.

>>15412761

>implying anyone on /mhg/ plays monster hunter

There were probably less than 10 people here who played MHXX total, and that didn't stop the other few dozen people from this general from constantly bitching about how inflated monster HP was, or how brokenly OP Alchemy style was. Barely anyone here has ever used IG, which is mind numbingly obvious if you look at the average /mhg/ poster's complaints for why IG was OP in 4U, but that never stopped anyone from endlessly bitching about how broken IG was because it could mount and how mountspam was OP as it that was the sole problem IG had, despite most TAs with IG never mounting once and yet still getting some of the fastest times across the board; on average, it was barely a second slower than GS, over a minute faster than third place (HBG), and a few minutes faster than the majority of weapons. There's several similar complaints about world, one of the most notable being that one retard who reposts the webm comparing 3U's G-rank Diablos while enraged to World's Low Rank Diablos while not enraged then spergs out and accuses literally everyone of being shills. People on /mhg/ generally don't know what they're talking about because this is /v/, and people on /v/ generally never play the games they bitch about endlessly.

It's a shame, because people do often end up at a correct conclusion (XX and World being bad or casualized, IG being OP, or in /v/ as a whole's case, a lot of very popular games being awful) but the way they arrive at that conclusion is highly flawed and filled with incorrect information since they rely mainly on memes and a hivemind opinion instead of fact or personal experience, which makes them look retarded, and prevents them from accurately explaining why something is bad. I can't really blame most of /mhg/ for not playing World though, since it hasn't been cracked on PC yet, and I can't hold it against someone to not want to give money to Sony/Microsoft/Valve and Capcom.

>>15412764

People already mentioned checking resists, but that doesn't help with poison. Usually monsters with a status are more resistant to that status, but that's just a rough guess and there are also a handful of monsters who are weak to it which is pretty much impossible to know normally. Kushala Daora is an example of something severely weak to poison, which you'd normally have no way of knowing without being told. At least in MH4U, the first time you fight one of those, an NPC does warn you about it being weak to poison.

>>15411145

>>15411161

I'm not always the OP, but when I am I try my best to keep the OP relatively neutral in tone and keep it focused on things we all love - hot girls and cool monsters.

>>15412764

>I have no idea why rathalos is weak to dragon.

Most of the items and bullets and such related to it in Japanese use the term 滅龍, which roughly means "destroying dragon." The element seems like an anti-dragon poison of some kind in essence.

>>15412776

Pretty much this. You could play 200 hours and do all the content in the game and they'd still whine and bitch and moan because you didn't do the multiplayer exclusive crap or something.

>>15412783

Better than World, but otherwise probably worst MonHun besides shit like Frontier or Online.

>>15412784

>Newest

It came out last year in March though.

>>15413038

>how brokenly OP Alchemy style was

I don't think anyone in these threads has ever claimed that at any point.

>>15413038

>the webm comparing 3U's G-rank Diablos while enraged to World's Low Rank Diablos

This one especially pisses me off because even 3U's Low Rank Diablos while unenraged is faster than World's, but I have neither the equipment nor knowhow to make videos to correct it with.

>>15413038

>Kushala Daora is an example of something severely weak to poison, which you'd normally have no way of knowing without being told

IIRC it gets brought up in Dos since that one's main story is about Daora, and if you check the supply box when hunting him IIRC there's usually poison bullets and knives, which is usually a big hint.

>>15413038

>o-only 10 people even played it!

I always love this defense for anything bad, and yet you always see people fall back to it because they're retarded and can't think of any reason on why the people's reasons on why it's bad don't hold water. I actually had some retard claim that "If you use an argument someone else used, it just means that you can't think for yourself".

Also no one ever claimed alchemy style was OP, well maybe the one guy who claimed gunlance was actually the hidden best weapon when it was repping the slowest TAs outside of horn

>>15413055

>I don't think anyone in these threads has ever claimed that at any point.

I've seen it claimed three separate times. It pained me every single time. As far as I can tell, the people who claimed that heard it has items that do damage and free healing items and stuff like earplugs, and thought that was OP, without realizing how incredibly weak those items are or how much it gimps most weapons movesets. On paper, if you thought it was like having infinite free potions, hunter's drinks, long-ranged barrel bombs, and even had earplugs built in, and had no idea how it actually worked or how useless almost all of its items were, you'd probably think it was something pretty good.

>>15413073

I'm basing it on the number of different people I saw playing MHXX in the group hunts here. It was usually the same 3 people every room, with a handful of other people who'd come in every so often. Off the top of my head, I remember Cocoa, Joshu, Artdeux, Tralf, RastaPasta, the infamous "Nipanon", who used some kanji I can't remember for his name, and I think there was one other guy with a kanji name. That's 7.

>>15413038

>>15413110

That's not really a good indication, a lot of anons at that time were super worried about their 3ds getting banned in the most recent waves, in addition to that /v/ is pretty awful at MH on average from my time with them in 4U

>>15413124

Get some reading comprehension, that's the exact opposite of what I was saying for both things.

>>15413125

>a lot of anons at that time were super worried about their 3ds getting banned in the most recent waves

I don't recall many people here complaining about that, but it's possible. There are also always a few people who exclusively hunt solo.

>/v/ is pretty awful at MH on average

I know I'm one of the people here awful at MH.

>>15413110

>I've seen it claimed three separate times

Fair enough, maybe I just missed it. Still, it's nowhere near as common a claim as some of the others that go on here.

>>15413158

>There are also always a few people who exclusively hunt solo.

I generally end up doing this, both because multiplayer kind of defangs the game a bit too hard usually, and also because of the region lock.

>>15413158

I know it is. I'm reminded why I hate tumblr.

>>15413197

To be fair to whoever did the initial and earliest translations, the element screen itself just uses 龍, the dragon part, and it's mainly in the items like the bullets and such where this becomes obvious. That said, with how little care for consistency later localizers showed for earlier games' translation choices, there's really no excuse for not fixing it in later games.

I need more lewd huntresses

…for research purposes.

>tfw the only reason XX is better than world is G-rank and no base camps

>>15413197

In Pokémon Dragon is weak to Ice, Dragon, and now Fairy. So I guess Dragons being weak to dragon kinda makes sense? A lot of dragon killing weapons are made from parts of dragons or are infused with blood of dragons that they killed, or anti-dragon magic.

Still think the best non-fantasy anti-dragon weapons logically to use against dragons are concussive blasts aka MEGATON BOMBS. The reason I think is because the raw force of the shockwaves of the blast do more damage to the dragons than the fire or shrapnel itself. The shockwaves penetrate through dragon hide and rupture internal organs. Also with a lot of fantasy games there is one magical element that almost every dragon has no resistance to: raw force. Granted most of the time raw force is subtracted from a defense stat. But raw defense is not an automatic percentage reduction like fire resistance.

>>15413496

Vanilla X is still better than World. :^D

>>15413946

It's either the BEST or it's SHIT

>>15413496

<Longer

<Varied Weapon Designs and Armour designs

<Not as mind numblingly easy

<No glowflies

<Punishes you for not preparing properly

<Better monsters

<Didnt make as stupid balance changes to weapons as in World

<No weapon damage bloat numbers

<A mantis that drives a dragon mech to fight you

>>15413946

But is World a good Monster Hunter game?

>>15414030

I don't know. I haven't played it

>>15414051

Being a good game compared to other games is not good enough for me. You can say Earthbound is good game compared to other games, but it's an okay JRPG mechanically at best. I have yet to be convinced World is a good Monster Hunter game in terms of Monster Hunter's original design philosophy. Taking out half of the hunt, the prep and organization of team, is already a red flag that they're ultra-casualizing the next game for a skinnerbox scam.

I'm playing Freedom Unite after 70 hours in World (was my first MH game) and I already am loving FU. It's still possible to play this one online with others, right? I'm playing on an emulator on the PS Vita.

>>15414030

Worlds is a mediocre Toukiden clone

>>15414075

but I never made a statement regarding MHW being a good MH game.

What

the fuck

is the switch axe alchemy move set?

>>15414030

Not at all.

How is Toukiden anyways? I really could use a decent MH clone after the abomination that was the series entry into PC

>>15414882

I call bullshit unless it was multiplayer and a multi monster hunt.

>>15415060

He's talking about World.

AT kush is out, it doesn't get knocked out of the sky by flash pods. Instead it gets blinded and stays in the air like lunastra.

>>15415190

It's not painfully bad, slapping its feet with a greatsword when it's flying still knocks it down somewhat fast.

>>15415190

I fought Kushala without flashpods the first time and it was actually pretty fun, then again I was using lance.

And now to ponder why I wasted over 5 hours of my life on training quests.

They really compromised too many good moves with alchemy. I'm not talking about power. Talking about momentum and movement utility as well. Bow alchemy for early game gathering is probably the only time I will use it. I probably suck too much with brave. I really don't like the get out of jail free dodging. I thing brave charge blade and brave gunlance might be my favorite brave styles.

>>15415146

>>15413227

Explain pokerman

>>15416640

My best guess is Dragon was originally supposed to be a sort of boss type, since only one pokemon line in the game had it, and it was the signature pokemon of the second lass boss who is implied to be the final boss, and only revealed to be second last after you beat him and not used by anyone else, and iirc they were impossible to find in the wild and catch so you had to grind a tonne of coins from gambling minigames to buy one. It resisted all of the starter pokemon types, but was weak to Ice since they're reptiles and probably cold blooded, I guess, and they needed to give it at least one weakness so it wouldn't be unbalanced. It was also originally intended to be something like GL shelling in MH, a flat damage type that nothing resists but is also super effective on nothing; it was technically weak to itself in the original games' programming, but the only Dragon type attack in those games had fixed damage that ignored resistances and weaknesses entirely, and nothing else was either weak to or resistant to Dragon.

>>15414030

Doesn't have Hunter Styles and ARTS so its ok.

>>15417005

>just put the brave counter in world and call it foresight slash, remove the brave gauge requirement too since that's too much for retards

>World was barely localized at all and all the monsters still have retarded nonsense names that only sound fine to a nip

>Ultimate was localized too much and monsters with names that were fine and meant things were changed to random stupid bullshit for no reason

Why do these people go out of their way to do the worst job possible

>>15417433

>World was barely localized at all and all the monsters still have retarded nonsense names that only sound fine to a nip

The lack of name changes (for the most part, there's still some) is one of the only good things to be said about World.

>>15417433

>retarded nonsense names

Fuck off retard, that's how it should be

>>15417470

Lets give credit where credit is due, they also gave you the option to not only use Japanese audio in the western release, but also to use Monster Hunter Language audio.

>>15417479

Hence why I said "one of," though if you're talking about things the (((localizers))) specifically did, that was just them being lazy since the Japanese version also had all language choices.

>>15417969

She certainly matches Donte better now.

Woke up from another MonHun dream. This time I was going on a date with the QT librarian of my village who's slender, petite, wears a cute two-piece blue dress. She had beautiful brunet hair that covered half of her scarred face…

…And was wearing a prosthetic arm and leg. She said she was attacked by a wyvern at a young age and has used her hatred to help research how to kill them ever since because she can't even use a bowgun. I need to lay off the drinks.

>>15419411

Man, that would be an amazing angle for a guild receptionist/poster girl, especially in contrast to 4's Brachysexual.

>>15419411

>using monster materials to create cool armor limbs

Which monster would you fuck?

Which one has the tastiest pussy?

Which one is a squirter?

>>15419901

>>15419926

I fucking know how MHGU is I already fucking played MHXX on the 3DS.

>>15419926

>Second worse in the series

MH4U?

>>15419933

So you bought a system for a game you already had on another system. I ask again, what the fuck are you doing?

>>15414982

I liked toukiden, its like an arcade version of MH with demons.

I honestly dont give 2 shits about an arch tempered teostra.

Im just waiting for the Alatreon from the leaked list to finally come out.

And judging from my predictions it was supposed to come out about a month ago or right around this time and right after Oroshi Kirin too.

We got the Behemoth though so I'm not too mad about that.

>>15419912

>>15419916

Was worried I'd get shit on for thinking abount bringing in a token cripple. However looking into context of gameplay she'd be super useful. First she would be the source of "research" quests where you have to target and break specific body parts with preset gear. Completing research quests will unlock monster anatomy books and to see which part is weak to what type of damage. Info you would normally look up a wiki for but are in-game. These books can only be read inside the library. So you will have to take screen shots or hand write notes IRL.

There's still no damage numbers because HD rumble and blood will be more than enough feedback to know if you're doing more or less damage.

So guild lady that got her arm, leg, and eye eaten as a child developes a fetish for ripping the guts out of monsters. Preferrably living ones. This is probably too edgy for MonHun, but she can be a black comedy sadist.

>>15420410

I dunno, I think it IS too edgy and mature of an angle for the main guild girl. In almost all of the games the main guild girl is an optimist. What you describe fits in more with one of those high rank quest givers, like Felcote, or one of the guild hall receptionists like the arena quest giver.

>>15420710

Fairly sure she would never be the guild gal. They have strict rules about hygine. And being covered in monster guts is not sanitary. There's a much more cuter and tsundere guild gal that handles your guild business.

Though as a mad scientist type side character for a "laboratory" is a different story. My idea for single player MonHun is unlocking the extra facilities that online has by supplying the village with materials they need to build. Single player is the tutorial for learning how MonHun works.

I don't have a problem with X, but I just want this to play with my friends. Is there crossplay between X and Gen?

>>15422424

Not unless you're using citra

>>15422428

That's a no then. What about between USA and EUR versions? I think I may have just found a working version. I would assume yes after my experience with the french in 4U.

>>15422440

>I still feel like I would rather play it over the other ones

Victory is just that much more satisfying in it than in most of the other titles.

>Janky

People keep using this word and not explaining what it means or how it applies to the game.

>weapon upgrading is obtuse

This is one of the legitimate criticisms you can make about the game and one of the rarest, which shows how much people who rag on the game generally actually know about it though it's simply a consequence of how half the weapons in the game were "spinoffs" of others - Longsword to Greatsword, Dual Blades to SnS, etc., and many of the weapons that became part of the "new" class were of the "old" class in the first MonHun.

>nothing is explained

I'm going to assume you told the game it wasn't your first time playing Monster Hunter, since as you yourself said, you started with 3U. Unlike in the original MonHun, the game skips most of the tutorial shit if you tell it you've played before, which most people would agree is good game design, especially with how much tutorial shit there is. I'm pretty sure that even then you can access all the tutorials from the Training School anyway.

>>15422463

What I mean by "jank" is things that just don't look or feel correct as a player. Things like pressing circle to grab a ledge and having him jump with his arms straight up and then completely miss the ledge, or having monsters land in an area and just take off to another area instantly without even taking a step.

Basically a lack of polish to certain actions.

Also, I completely forgot the game asked if it was my first time playing because I made this character months ago before getting distracted and finally picking it back up.

>>15422483

>Basically a lack of polish to certain actions.

That's fair. The climbing thing I always figured was just because of my trying to climb at the wrong angle myself, but the monsters fucking running off like that always pissed me off.

>>15422501

When I fought Kut-ku for the for the first time, I paintballed him immediately after his cutscene and he just flew away before doing anything.

Maybe that's how it is supposed to go, but I still found it funny.

>>15422513

It might be based on time elapsed from the start of the quest, since he has to wait there for the cut scene, but after that behaves as normal.

Maybe a stupid question, but does anyone know what the filesize should be for Gen .cia (either USA or EUR)? Thanks.

>>15422536

You want focus,load up/rapid fire depending on the bow, weakness exploit, reckless abandon and attack up if you can fit it.

Rapid fire is more popular in P3rd than Load up but you'll still want to use bows where rapid is at level 3 because of the 1.5 multiplier.

>>15422555 (checked)

Alright, I've heard that elements are really important in 3rd, is there an element that trumps them all/works on a lot of monsters?

>>15422562

Thunder is the most important one but you're not gonna see it being relevant until high rank so you still want bows with all elements.

>>15422435

Generations and 4U both have two regions as far as multiplayer is concerned: "Japan" and "Not Japan". Japanese versions only work with other Japanese versions, but every other version works with any version other than Japanese.

Physical copies of the EU version won't work in un-modded NA 3DS, or vice versa, since the un-modded 3DS are region locked, but since you're using pirated copies on a CFW'd 3DS that won't matter to you.

Hypers are better than apex

MH4U link is broken.

new one:

https://mega.nz/#!dNUD3DBA!nHhTjComKhiYLhFIElp9MSTs4n33T8zw6-Ua4Dr3ldc

>>15422724

Apex are the Extreme monsters from 4G, right? Because I'm pretty sure everyone agrees those are some of the worst shit in the franchise which makes sense as they're balanced around multiplayer

>>15422752

Added to the pasta, next thread I OP will be sure to use it. Thanks Anon!

>>15422724

Well, yeah, the only thing worse than the Apexes are the Tempered and Arch Tempered monsters from World.

>>15410927

Gigginox

>>15422440

The biggest thing that gets me about returning to FU is that I've learned on the Swaxe so much in the recent games, I can't quite settle on anything different. Especially considering this was before they began smoothing out weapon balance; they feel so uncomfortable to use, and I can't even remember what I had used back when I first began playing. I think I remember trying unsuccessfully to make the Bow work.

What version of Citra is best for 4U?

This might be a longshot, but a while back I found a spreadsheet that listed the items needed to forge every weapon in 4U. Has anyone ever done that for the other games?

>>15422418

>First you have to get the Federal Bureau of Investigation to netorare the Central Intelligence Agency.

This part of 3DS hacking always makes me chuckle.

>>15422858

Try Gunlance. Gunlance became my favorite secondary weapon. I'm using CB in X because SA is simply no longer fun to play without art spamming Demon Riot.

>>15422893

Why not use pingsdex?

>>15422871

anything which has that timing hack

>>15422906

I do, it was just more convenient. There's some small differences in total item counts because you can either produce or upgrade some weapons.

>>15411535

The first is about trans

>>15422152

The game isn't difficult

>>15422296

Pretty much because they can. Some people can't be bothered to grind out some drops, realise they can cheat to get them and then realise there is alot more they can do.

The only good thing about it is, it's possible to modify the monsters themseves, so might actually get some interesting fights.

Fag who started the series with World here, I'm about to start 4U.

Tell me what new wonderful things will I find here that were nowhere to be seen in World.

>pastebins on world

So, am I not allowed to talk about world here anymore?

>>15422871

latest citra build works fine for me, only issu is the occasional graphics glitch and some slowdown in the menus.

>>15424609

pretty much just more monsters tbh. MH4U was the first stepping stone towards MHW.

>>15425348

If a monster roars in a cutscene, it drops to 1fps for a while, but works fine right after that cutscene ends. You also get a pretty good performance boost by turning on Stereoscopic 3D before starting the game, then turning it off after you start the game.

>>15424609

4U was my first monster hunter and I think it's a going to be a wild ride for you. The only bad parts about it are I'd say Apex monsters and the Guild quest system as both are incredibly tedious and unfun. There are also some balance issues that make World's bow before the patch look like a wet noodle. Unlike world you can also expect to get around 400 hours from it, some of that time spent cycling urgent quests.

>>15424617

>So, am I not allowed to talk about [game made in the last decade] here anymore?

No, welcome to /v/ and don't enjoy your stay.

So what's the best game to start for someone who never played this series?

>>15425614

MHP3rd is pretty good, or 4u if you got a hacked DS.

>>15425632

emulation only

>>15425639

p3rd it is then, even has online functionality. have at it.

>>15425651

Alright, is there much difference between the "HD" one in the OP and the normal one? It looks like it's pre-patched with a translation and I'd like to play in japanese

>>15425662

the HD one doesn't run on a PSP

>>15425664

Sure, but I meant the difference in graphic quality

>>15425671

It runs at a higher resolution and it might have some improved textures

>>15424617

You're allowed to talk about World, but most likely anything you'd have to say has been said already, regardless of whether it's positive or negative, and most people here just want to move on and go back to enjoying the series.

>>15425662

>I'd like to play in japanese

I got you covered bro. Uploading it to a Volafile as we speak, I'll post the link when it's done.

>>15425614

MH4U and MHFU have the most content.

I'd recommend MH4U though because MHFU has some nonsensical things like weapon upgrade trees mixing into different weapon types. Animations and hitboxes are iffy so things can be harder to see.

MHW is not "bad" but it lacks content, if multiplayer is the most important thing to you it's your only option since it has the population for it.

>>15425662

Uploaded, you can grab it from https://volafile.org/get/BbekQdNq9e0Ec/Monster%20Hunter%20Portable%203rd%20HD.iso

>>15426573

>MHFU has some nonsensical things like weapon upgrade trees mixing into different weapon types

Mostly a product of the new weapon trees splitting off from old ones.

>if multiplayer is the most important thing to you it's your only option

Considering how many people here have been playing FU, P3rd, 4G, and 4U online together, that's an outright lie.

>>15426771

That's what you get for setting your hardware's language to Sharia

>>15426786

but he didn't set it to british english :^)

>>15426819

It's true of pretty much all of Europe save Poland anyway.

you know some people think the temporal mantle is the most bullshit thing in world. I'd say that it's the impact mantle. The thing more or less negates one of the biggest deals with the hammer. I swear it also adds impact as a flat value too, making it near worthless for the hammer and obscene for spread ammo. With it on a bowgunner can get a ko within 3-6 shots of spread 3.

How do I use this "timing hack" on Citra to emulate 4U? Shit is running in slow motion here

>>15426573

I have some friends playing MHW and it would be cool to play with them,but I'm not about to buy denuvo shit, so tough luck on that. Sage for doublepost

I've been picking up HBG in XX recently, does anyone know of must have skills for it? I've been using Ryzex's set for chain crit. I recently hit HR and I don't know if I should move on to another set or not. I didn't realize early on at first, but this game really does feel too easy with 4 people. I've pretty much been using Brave style since siege mode is the favorite part of HBG for me.

>>15429774

I do what I can Anon I can also provide Dos and 2nd G JP ISOs, and can rip a 4G JP .cia, but apparently I don't have the right kind of CD drive to rip Wii games so I can't get JP Tri at the moment.

>>15431604

>I didn't realize early on at first, but this game really does feel too easy with 4 people

That's the biggest turn off for multiplayer as a whole in the franchise for me.

>>15431661

At the very least 3 people seems fine. I only just hit HR5 last night and we had exist via subquest once against Plesioth on a 3 man team if that means much to you.

Does Portable 3rd HD work on Adrenaline? Or is it only for PPSSPP?

>>15431735

Even one extra person (as long as they're competent) just makes the game too easy really, with notable exceptions like the stupidly designed Apex fights in 4U.

>>15431604

>but this game really does feel too easy with 4 people

Brave HBG is a tier of its own in terms of clear times. With multiple people you will only suffer when shitters triple cart but that only happens in super hunts.

>>15429384

>>15432052

>Brave HBG is a tier of its own in terms of clear times

Is it really? I had no idea. Up until I upgraded to the Seregios HBG I was using the Yakumo one to spam level 1 shot in siege mode.

>>15432093

In speedruns TA it is easily 1 minute above every other weapon where the gap from A tier to B tier is like 20 seconds

>>15432099 (checked)

Fuck, maybe I should use a different style. I might be the one making it too easy. Are any of the other styles good with siege mode?

>>15432120

Adept is the next best thing after Brave but you could always just use Guild.

>>15432120

If you want to play proper, go Guild with no Hunting Skills. Bushido and Brave break the fuck out of the game.

Looking to buy MH Generations Ultimate soon as my first MH. I'm already sold on the game because I enjoyed the demo so I just need to know how good are the Samus and Marth kits?

>>15433913

>how good are the Samus and Marth kits

Doesn't matter how good they are, the game has transmog

>>15434503

I think you are overrating.

overreacting*

>>15433913

get 4U

>>15434503

>>15434548

I'll get 4U first since it has the better crossover stuff. 3U is going to my backlog for now.

>>15434503

Generations was my first MH and I can still appreciate the older games, and see how they're pretty much objectively superior to Gen and XX. That said, I still wouldn't recommend Gen/GU as a first MH, 3U or 4U are ideal for that for anyone who doesn't speak jap.

>>15434470

Impressive is subjective

There are some channels which do gimmick videos like killing Alatreon in 3 hits or coordinated weapon attacks on youtube. You could also just look at simple speedruns with TA rulesets.

On one hand beast prowler feels fun to play. On the other hand it's a prowler and I know it's inefficient in damage and utility.

>>15436066

Depends on what you're doing. Prolwer are perfect for harvest tours or egg/powderstone/fossil runs since they can use 98% of their inventory space for just carrying shit and have no stamina.

>>15436121

That's ALL prowlers are good for. Anyone that brings prowler to room gets kick banned immediately.

I started playing MHP3rd on emulator for the first time a week ago (only ever played F2, Unite and 3 Ultimate) and while the game has an insane amount of charm you immediately notice the lack of content it. I'm only Village Rank 3 and I am already getting dublicate quests, shame that this game never got a G-Rank.

>>15436354

>Village Rank 3

Get to HR

Low rank is a glorified tutorial.

>>15436922

Do the villager requests

>>15436941

Thanks. That was it.

>>15436685

Yeah I'm working on it but as far as know are the village quests necessary to unlock armour spheres and shit, right?

>>15436991

I think you unlock everything once you hit High Rank but I don't remember.

Thoughts on the Arch Tempered elders?

>Arch Kirin wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

>Arch Hazak was mildly annoying due to the cancer gas.

>Arch Teo was fun.

>Arch Kush was interesting but not much of a challenge.

>Arch Nerg is going to be………

>Arch Lunastra is going to be shit.

>>15436118

>this game is bad

>mods could fix it

>LOL NO WE DONT LIKE THE GAME SO NO MODS EVER KEK

>all while posting a bullshit pic that's been debunked dozens of times

How brain-damaged can you retards be?

On another note.

What the fuck is up with Kushalas stationary side bite attack? The hitbox is behind the player. Try and block it with a lance normally and you'll still get hit, but if you powerguard you can see the attack hitting just behind your hunter AND it has a long range beyond Kushalas head of at least 2 rolls of distance.

>>15439926

So what part isn't exactly true. Because all of it is true except for the fact that it's not 30-50 skillpoints because of how the skill rework was done

>>15439917

If you're using Brave GS then quick sheathe is pretty much essential.

Punish Draw's usefulness depends on the monster but its not that useful in XX/GU

>>15439736

they need to add actual new monsters not just harder hitting faster clones.

>>15439909

They're talking about the World version, not regular Jho.

>>15439926

Only thing on there that's not really true is the grappling hook bit since it only saves you from fucking up the bashing QTE, not from running entirely out of stamina.

>>15439956

Even then the point was more to translate it into the equivalent point values in real MonHun because of how stupid World's version is, so it's still pretty accurate.

>>15440085

>environmental are rare

>Vigorwasps are rare

>Mantles cost something to use

Christ have you even played the game?

>>15439987

from what I remember Arch Teo gets ONE new move and arch vaal gets wind pressure on some moves so while they're still shit they are a bit improved.

>>15440103

Have you? You can carry literally one farcaster at a time that you must craft. Thats the exact opposite of infinite free

>>15440085

Camp teleport also can't be used mid combat.

Before MHW, getting into trouble just means, oh lemme go to the next area and freshen up while protected by the loading screen. In MHW sure you can move while potioning (gets canceled and doesn't full heal if you rolled), sharpening can be cancelled(but only before your weapon is actually sharpened) but the monsters can follow your across the whole damn map.

>Muh sparkflies

Psychoserum is more effortless.

>>15440123

>ignores the post and keeps trying to desperately claim that the image is "completely debunked" when it still holds true

>>15440085

>For one, you don't have free infinite farcasters. The main draw of the farcaster is an easy escape, and i'm assuming he was referring to the fast travel, which requires no combat, so that's a lie

I'm assuming he was referring to the fact you can refill your Farcaster stock for free as many times as you want, without any worry of combination failure or need to carry tons of extra materials/books of combination to balance it out.

>Also, he makes it seem as if you can switch cloaks mid battle no problem, giving yourself massive stat buffs for nothing whenever you want, which is not true.

Infinitely no, but you definitely can with the two you carry, and we've already established that even if you're not near one of the multiple base camps per map, you can Farcaster as often as you want.

>He also complains about situational, environmental things you can use in the middle of battle, which are rare to fight next to and rarely used.

Not even close. A specific kind might be rare, but almost every "battle area" has some kind of environmental gimmick to take advantage of.

>Also, your "free heals" is only if your palico has the skill, and you're not in a group, unless you run across the very rare random vigorwasp in the wild.

Or the flowers that spit healing gunk all over you.

>He also makes it seem as if regrappling on the monster is bad when its a nearly unavoidable moment

So you have no idea how World's grapple mechanic works at all? You should never be getting hit by that, it's easy as fuck to avoid.

>Then he complains about a magical mantle which doesn't exist.

He's describing Rocksteady.

>Frankly, the longer the whining goes on, the more convinced I am is its just crying nintendo fans that they no longer have an exclusive to themselves.

It started as a Sony exclusive, and most of the fans here pretty universally recommend Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd over most other entries, especially World.

>So was I.

Then yes, we were talking about the defanged and easy as fuck joke of a monster.

>>15440123

That's Monster Hunter you're thinking of, not World.

>>15440126

>the monsters can follow your across the whole damn map.

And never do, because instead they end up running away from you and forcing you to waste a couple minutes just running after them instead of fighting.

>Psychoserum is more effortless.

And is at most 3 uses that each last like 10 seconds and don't tell you the exact route to run to the monster.

>>15440126

>Before MHW, getting into trouble just means, oh lemme go to the next area and freshen up while protected by the loading screen. In MHW sure you can move while potioning (gets canceled and doesn't full heal if you rolled), sharpening can be cancelled(but only before your weapon is actually sharpened) but the monsters can follow your across the whole damn map.

You're so bad you need to leave the area to heal? Good luck doing that in the arena quests or any of the hard monster quests with one area. If only the monsters were more aggressive to compensate for the moving healing, oh wait they aren't so you can spring past most attacks and roll when you're about to get hit so you don't take damage and keep the healing, besides, you forgot that max potions are instant so it's a straight buff.

You're full of shit anon. Monsters being able to follow you means almost nothing especially with all the tools to evade pursuit like using bushes to hide in.

>>15440154

>You fucking npc.

Take your buzzword and strawmaning meme spewing ass out of here you fucking retard, the moment someone disagrees with you that World is a sloppily designed game that tried to do the old style and new things without understanding that the two wouldn't mess well you resort to pulling cards from your deck hoping for a generic insult to spew. Get outta here you idiot.

Next you're gonna say "You're a soyboy nintendrone bing bing wahoo cuck". Go peddle your shit elsewhere, nobody's buying.

>>15440154

>y-you can only have one at a time!

Why would you ever need more than one at once. Imagine being that retarded to think that being limited to only one matters when you can access them at your basecamp where the item takes you. Or you know the free version where you just have to not be in combat when the AI will decide to drop combat randomly

>>15440180

>having unlimited per hunt as long as you have them crafted is totally different I swear this game is hardcores. It lets me hit the monster!

When will the fucking charm dlc come out for GU

fuck volcano farming

>>15440178

Says the guy who said

>Frankly, the longer the whining goes on, the more convinced I am is its just crying nintendo fans that they no longer have an exclusive to themselves.

And I know your typing style from previous threads, you're the same retard that ends up spewing buzzwords and saying people that don't like World are nintendrones upset they can't play it on their bing bing wahoo machine.

You're full of shit anon, the only thing you're right on is me not playing the game because I'm not paying 60 bucks to Capcom for a shitty port infested with Denuvo, but I've seen enough footage of the game to know it's fucked, a lot of things about it are fucked. The lack of blood when you hit monsters is fucked. Healing is fucked. The feeling of commitment traditional to the series is fucked. Weapon variety is fucked. Paid DLC is fucked. Timed events are fucked. Powercreep because they have to make the new monster give better stuff than the previous one or people get upset is fucked. Most new monsters suck. Zorah is the most boring giant monster fight in the series. Xeno is a boring punching bag. The new skill system rewards lack of attention and planning with buffs to compensate for the mental defectives unable to count to 10. The quantity and quality of content is fucked, there's not even an ice/snow map and the desert doesn't even require cold drinks. The mantles and boosters are so fucked, along with things like wall attacks, that Time Attacks ban them. But please, tell me how the game is actually really good and the best Monster Hunter to date and not a clusterfuck of new ideas over the old systems they didn't bother updating resulting in an half-assed attempt that sucks at being new and old. The game would have been better if they had gone the RE4 route and just made an almost entirely new experience from scratch instead of half-assing everything.

>>15440200

>playing world

stop

>>15440204

I did stop, because it was fucking awful, and I wish I could have those 200+ hours of my life back.

>>15440208

>put 200+ hours into a game

>ITS AWFUL

>>15440230

I have a bad habit of trying to give things the benefit of the doubt and thinking "Maybe it'll get better later!" This same poisonous habit also made me sit through all of Gundam SEED, which was at least only a 50ish hour mistake instead of a 200ish hour one

>>15440234

Also this. It's a damned if you do damned if you don't thing, because god forbid the game be just bad.

>>15440238

>Gundam SEED

I just started watching Gundam, wrapping up 0079 (the show not the movies), without spoilers, when I get around to that, what should I expect, what's so bad about it?

>>15440241

>wrapping up 0079 (the show not the movies)

Good man. The movies aren't bad per se, but they by necessity cut a lot of what made the original Gundam so meaningful for the time.

>without spoilers, when I get around to that, what should I expect, what's so bad about it?

It starts off as basically Sunrise attempt to reboot the franchise by redoing the original Gundam, albeit also with trying to appeal to the fujoshi crowd with Wing-esque levels of pretty boys flying multiple Gundams. This in and of itself would just be generic, but the production as a whole was marred by the head writer, Morosawa, who had a penchant for taking out her grudges with the voice actors on their characters. When you get around to watching it, pay attention to how completely fucked Cagalli gets and you'll see what I mean. There was also no one to keep her in line, because the director was her husband. Her husband, who, in an interview was asked how he would explain why war is bad to a child and answered something along the lines of "I wouldn't know, probably just "It is because I said so OK?"," which is fair for a parent caught off-guard, but not for the guy in charge of directing the latest at the time incarnation of THE anti-war franchise.

This thread isn't going to matter. Article 11 and 13 passed the EU today. Which means servers are going to either be region-locked or Capcom is going to make sure no copyrighted content will be shared through Monster Hunter. In other words no more user voice chat nor written chat or mail messages. Everything will be pre-written templates.

So it'll be interesting to see how internet laws will change how Capcom is going to handle MonHun Online from here on out.

>>15440264

What does that have to do with this thread? That just sounds like a reason to lock Europe out of the Internet forever which'd be just as well, it's not like Muslims know how to use computers

>>15440271

It has everything to do with Monster Hunter because Capcom shares online servers with America and Europe. It'll be interesting to see how Capcom responds to how communicating with other players work from now on if the EU is going to enforce mandatory copyright detectors in chat logs.

>>15440286

>It has everything to do with Monster Hunter because Capcom shares online servers with America and Europe

So either they cut out just Europe, or cut Europe and America like they used to do anyway. I'm wary of that stupid shit the EU's pulling, and I hope they get nuked into oblivion for it, but I don't see how it matters for Monster Hunter even if you do play online.

>>15440295

So will Capcom shut down Generations, 3u, 4u, Gen, and GenU servers before this law goes into effect?

>>15440351

For EU? Probably those and World as well, if I'm reading shit right. Again, small loss, since most likely Europeans will be forbidden from playing video games by Sharia law anyway.

>>15440230

>It took more than 18 years for some retard to make this post

I'm pretty sure your parents only had two hours to refund you and they regret their decision

>>15440430

Nigger if you put 40 hours into a game and don't like it I understand, but if you keep going for 200 there is one of two things going on.

Either:

A: You enjoyed the game and are now choosing to bitch about it because being contrarian is cool on h8chan

B: You didn't enjoy the game but chose to play it for 200+ hours because you're a fucking retard. Because you're such a fucking retard, only being reminded by someone else's not liking the game was enough for you to remember that you didn't like the game. No wonder you spent 200+ hours playing it you stupid fuck.

>>15440518

To ne fair, Monster Hunter can take upwards to 100 hours to hit it's stride

>>15440640

Mounting has never been a skillful thing and world was definitely not the first game with it.

>>15440264

Fuck Europe.

They dug their own grave and now they get to lie in it. They deserve to have their internet isolated from the rest of the world if their shitty article 13 actually manages to get through.

When it comes to European vidya I have no idea whats going to happen with them and as a Burger I really don't have to give a shit.

It's going to affect Burger online media too, unless that Burger website chooses to firewall Europe. Literally all servers are going to be mandatory region locked or follow an international code of conduct. It is not just end of the Internet. It is the end of the World Wide Web as we know it.

Google bailed out of spain, they can just bail out of europe and double down on india and china.

Capcom lives in Japan. My guess is that they use the unused 3u servers for 4u, Gen/GenU, and World for America/PAL as well as non-Monster Hunter games. I got 3u on WiiU at launch. At the time it was all American (North and South) until the server merger with Europe. Then the French shitters turned online to shit and I played with friends or solo'd. I don't think it would be financially viable to split the American and PAL servers for Capcom. At best I will see Capcom comply with the EU as Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo will force them to change how communication between players work with pre-written auto-complete style chat systems not violating EU law.

I think PC version of World will be fine since Steam isn't anal about regional parity. And World on PC can just segregate America and PAL. However everyone else will be super anal about the extra hosting costs and legal risks on separate servers. So Capcom will make Monster Hunter online communication between players shit for consoles or shut it down completely.

If that's the case then fuck the original Switch Monster Hunter and stay on PC.

Joke's on you! I live in Burgerland! I'm going to use my 10 bucks that I didn't waste on SA to buy a burger. Then stare at some glorious 2D anime tiddies! America! Fuck yeah! MAGA!

>>15441723

cuckchan's fucked, but yotsuba is okay

anyone have that generations chart that shows how each style feels with each weapon?

>>15440518

>If you played it this much you MUST like it!

No, I just wanted to like it and kept giving it a chance because I really like Monster Hunter, and even the other recent low points of the series (4/G and X/X) still were enjoyable if not as good as prior entries. Also see >>15440238

Preaching to the choir Anon, just pointing out that the only detail that the post in question got arguably wrong was the specifics of how the grapple hook worked.

>>15440675

Fans of a series don't just "get over" their series being killed - Persona fans haven't "gotten over" 3, Elder Scrolls fans haven't "gotten over" Oblivion, Final Fantasy fans haven't "gotten over" 7, Castlevania fans haven't "gotten over" Lords of Shadow.

>>15440804

I felt bad for Europe getting raped by the Muslims, but now I kind of wish they would hurry up and finish the job before the EU has a chance to pass any more retarded shit laws that affect actual countries.

Just wait until the urgent-level powderstone one, it's just like the jungle bullfango cave except there's ten bullfango and the area is six times as big and you also have to run through three other similar areas except with a dozen ioprey instead, all of which respawn indefinitely by the way.

Oh yeah and a gravios is stalking you the whole time.

>>15442956

Just pop in and out of the two side caves in order to reset the genprey's positions. This way at worst you'll never have more than one locked onto you & within attack range for more than a few moments. It's actually not that hard to dodge -prey with an egg in gen one, so long as there aren't more than 3 attacking you at once, but be aware that you will need to circle back around them sometimes and you can't just keep charging forward and praying if you want to get past them reliably

Does anyone wanna play mhgen?

Has anyone tried making Yotsuba a grown up Monster Hunter?

>>15442190

I like them in the way that they feel great to get over with, then I hope I never have to do it again.

Can someone explain lance to me?

In singleplayer I can't figure out how to punish things or get close to the monster. I can tank fine, but most of the time the monster is out of range and I can't figure out how to close the distance without it being so risky that it totally offsets the safety of turtling in the first place since guarded walk is out of the question, and normal walk on its own is very slow and still quite risky because he could suddenly smack me at any moment and I don't have a roll to fall back on, then there's sheathing which is a whole new realm of risky, and charging which is asking to get smacked in the face and cart at full health.

Then I go into multiplayer where I think the pure defense no offense could be useful and its even worse, because now not only am I still not able to stick close to the monster, but most of the time he's not even attacking me so I'm hopelessly trying to chase him around, forced to take huge risks just to get close to him, which ends up getting me killed anyway. Then the defensive ability which I thought would be good in multiplayer isn't even worth anything because in multiplayer defense is like who even gives a shit its just melt the monster in under a minute while it's curled up in the fetal position.

>>15443431

>how to close the distance

Sheath or charge, alternatively, use evade skills to more easily stick to the monster while it attacks.

>but it's risky!

Learn to recognize monster patterns and time your actions accordingly

There is no science, it's just practice.

>>15443431

if you're playing MHW, you can do the charge step by pressing forward and left click whilst blocking. The charge step is cancellable into stuff towards the end of the animation, haven;t played lance in a while so i can't remember what exactly. You can also do the running move to get back into range which in MHW is cancellable after you run a certain amount into hop, shield, attack or mounting attack. The more you're blocking the less effective you are, poke as often as you can like >>15443492 says.

>>15443431

Backhop towards the monster.

Two regular hops, then do direction+hop on the third hop to get a 1.5~2x distance hop. I.e. pull stick toward yourself and press hop, then press hop with no directional input, then press hop a third time pushing the stick away from yourself. With evade distance up you actually move faster than running using backhops this way. Also use the counter instead of the block whenever possible, you can use it from a neutral state, it doesn't have to come out of a poke combo. There's really no penalty for using counter instead of block unless you whiff the timing, so long as your shield connects with the monster and the monster isn't using a move that checks for multiple seperate hitboxes in quick succession (attack+tremor hits through counter, but things khezu's continous lightning attacks only check once and give you full invincibilty to the rest of the hitbox checks for the animation as long as a check was blocked at some point) there's no noticeable dfference to your blocking ability or the chip damage between regular and counter blocks.

Any of you niggers want to play XX or 4U on citra?

DO WE LIKE GENERATIONS ULTIMATE YET?

>>15445126

I downloaded the version of Citra linked earlier but it still lags on 4, not sure if there's a setting I need to find.

>>15445154

If you mean XX as a whole, it's basically "at least it's not World" tier. If you mean the (((localization))) specifically, fuck off and die.

>>15445178

It does. It was unchecked and at 16000, should I check it and set it to 4000 like shown?

>>15445196

set it to whatever that gives you 100% speed with good framerate. Depends on your CPU.

>>15445203

Fair enough, I'll have to experiment with it later, at the moment it's 2 AM and I need sleep

>>15445208

>being asian

It's just me or dual daggers are boring as fuck?

>>15445226

It's just you. There's lots of footwork going on to make dual blades work effectively and efficiently. Dual blades is about keeping your enemies closer. Especially if you're breaking specific parts due to lack of reach. At least from what I played with 3u onward.

>>15447831

It was very innovative but fucking awful. I would've liked it if it controlled better.

>>15447831

It was cool but it gave me finger cramps like no tomorrow.

Swimming should just stay in that game, and its not like as if its going anywhere either so swim as much as you want to anon.

>>15448241

Funny story. I did Wii Mote and Nunchuck with waggle against Lagiacrus and made it through without cart once.

>>15411530

It's part of how they police speech and thought. They attempt to control people by keeping them on the defensive at all times with claims that certain speech/ideas are bad. If they ever let speech be tolerable, even speech they themselves came up with, then the people too stupid to ignore them are no longer under control.

>>15445126

Anyone up for it now?

>>15412754

they still do in 4u and xx you lying sack of shit

>>15445154

i ended up liking XX more than i thought I would. Styles initially put me off, but after a while it feels like there are 6x more weapons in the game because of it.

>>15447831

i miss swimming in the island. flooded forest can go fuck itself right off

>>15450480

>they still do in 4u and xx you lying sack of shit

You mean the games where monsters have 180 u turns?

>>15447831

>I am not the only one who liked swimming.

Granted most monsters i preferred fighting on land anyway but i still liked swimming. They should bring it back.

>>15451719

Climbing/vaulting and swimming I imagine would work surprisingly well under water. You cling onto a surface underwater like it's a climbable wall and kick off to vault. Catch is if you miss your vault attack you are wide open with your pants down. Also Ghobul will be able to bury in both the sand and the muddy walls too to surprise you. Also you can't grab onto sand or muddy surfaces underwater. They'd be limited to rockfaces or coral beds.

>>15447831

Im glad to see im not the only one who still remembers and likes swimming, was tons of fun when i first picked up tri

>>15452264

On the topic of vaulting and swimming at the same time, IG would be weird to play underwater, although maybe there could be more utility for the backwards boost from your kinsect that you'd normally do mid air

So I've updated my Luma to the newest version and I'm on 11.8, but even for my physical carts I'm not able to get updates from eShop now? Anyone have any idea what's up with that?

>>15454046

Vaulting would have to be replaced with another move underwater. Maybe a kick off with the glaive when near any surface or monster larger than yourself. The glaive can push you off of surfaces you can't normally grab. You won't be able to do kick-off without something to push. Maybe when there's nothing to push it can be a powerful quick pheromone attack, that connects will push you away from the monster as an evasive maneuver.

Also if swimming comes back then styles have to go. But updating move sets with the best moves from styles can be a thing if you want. Gunlance needs to get buffed along with Switch Axe's axe mode.

>>15457069

Not even a handheld really, doesn't have the portability to be one.

>>15447831

I disliked swimming on the Wii version, but the 3D in Tri Ultimate made all the difference.

It's a shame that we didn't get a swimming crustacean monster

>>15454046

insect needs some aquatic modifications.
