Found out about slinger burst and use of side sweep from this, I'm not really good with it, but now with 450+ uses it's becoming better

Unsure of mentioned but a fully charged stronge slash into a tackle canvel into fade away slash charges it. This is your second most powerful attack just below and FULLY connected tcs. A tcs that whiffs the first hit will be equal to a charged fade away. 👍

cannot seem to tackle + side blow in pc?? anyone know how??

This made Greatsword finally click for me, Most people watch outdated guides about GS and it shows, these tips are so game changing they make GS feel like a totaly different weapon, top notch!

As a new GS main who relied on tackle as get away free card you gave me motivation and new ways to this weapon. Now I'm commited with every swings instead of preparing to tackle and evade

and here i was thinking side blow was useless, thanks for the guide

Only recently I learned to target strafe with the charge blade, and i wondered if it was usable on the other weapons... nearly every weapon gains something from this movement tech, it's amazing!

I'm really sad I found this a bit too late. I've mained GS in FU and now in World/IB, and not much has changed from my FU playstyle. I couldn't make use of most of the added mobility and utility moves because I had no idea how to chain them effectively, so I just sticked to the good ol' hit and run playstyle most of the time unless I saw really big openings for TCS. I managed to beat IB and most of the post-game monsters (only Fatalis left) but I feel like my experience could've been smoother and more fun if I studied how to play GS like in this guide. Great tutorial, it makes me wanna learn it even if there's not much left I want to do in IB using GS.

that slinger burst move is a game changer for me. its like a a heavy burden has been lifted from my back and i can finally move way more agile as a great sword user. thank you😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I never thought you could actually chain attacks and close wide distances with combos using the side blow. I've been only using the unsheathed roll + tackle to charge and counter through attacks and roars but it was never so efficient and effective (I always run out of stamina) T__T Thank you so much man. Still helpful even after years. I very much appreciate all of this. Like and sub very well-deserved.

New player here, Gs enjoyer. Time to learn these combos, do them in training area, then fail 80% of the time in actual combat, but feel godlike those other 20%. Regardless, thanks for the great guide!

amazing

i knew i was missing something. tackle > sideswipe > slinger tcs fishing might be the secret sauce i was looking for. great guide.

I never understood how to use side blow or how useful it could be for positioning and combos! Thank you! You should definitely do videos for Monster Hunter Wilds next year!

4 years later. Still the best advanced comprehensive TCS guide out here on youtube.

Man 4 years later and i find that you can be this mobile with the GS. Thanks, your guide was amazing.

best vid!

I got into MH literally a week ago and I love GS, now that I started Iceborne your guide will help me to step up my gameplay thx.

I came from wirebug gs, just started Iceborne. Now slinger is my best friend 🤝

i cant read

Bro i never comment on YT vids cause i usually just dont care, but u changed the way i play this game and now i love GS so ty for that ur awesome!

You make it look so easy lmao. I tried practicing these moves for 30 min against a Great Jagras and I was like a drunken idiot lol Do you think a lot of this could also apply to MHR: Sunbreak? With some minor tweaks to accommodate Strongarm Stance instead of Slinger Burst ofc.

Woah this guide actually helped me improved my GS gameplay

Goat

To think that I reached Safi'jiva without knowing all that.

Thanks a lot, very informative and useful tips all around

ty so much! Coming back and playing the GS and love the little tech with the basic big slash.

lol picking up stones now is a big buff.

Asmongold should watch this

4 year later, and this video still slaps, thanks for the great techs bro! Feel like my 3rd eye opened after watching this.

Seeing this video has reignited my passion for the greatsword. I stuck with it throughout the main story (new player here), but dropped it as I moved into AT content and found the monsters to be too quick and find myself missing my hits all the time. Thank you for the helpful showcase!

A “Return to World” campaign also means “Return to Giraffe” for a refresher on those sweet GS mobility moves.

Asmongold should watch this.

Best video I've found so far on Great sword moves! This was exactly what i was looking for

Still one of the best guides out there

Asmongold has to see this lol

Amazing guide! What's the GS that you are using in this video? it looks sick

This video helped me years back when I was good with great sword, and made me the carry of my team almost always. I deal the most damage as I almost am never hit by the monsters ever since I started doing side swing to sling shot TCS

now going back to iceborne ....first try with the great sword... great guide :)

This is so mindblowing holy. I never knew GS could be that mobile

Because this video I'm always looking for some on the floor😅

You know, coming to world for the first time, and now in the midst of fighting Alatreon, I wish I had found this much sooner because this has got to be the most helpful greatsword guide I've seen yet. As someone who mained longsword for the entirety of the main game the comparison to fade slash made me ecstatic as well.

late for the party but top notch gudie .XD .. any raw build suggestions for the TCS ?

thank you. and here I thought my only option was Y -> Y -> Y (Hold)

Dude, I just picked up IB as its 15 bucks right now. Right when world launched i spent about 800 hours in the game and burned out so i didnt grab IB until now. 90% of my hours were with GS and i never knew some of these things you showed here. Im guessing the slinger burst is IB update? Also, do you ever find it useful to use the upper cut move i think it is triangle + circle? I heard a long time ago its the best move to cut tails but i wasnt sure. Anyways, thanks for the awesome vid! I will def be putting in work to add this to my playstyle.

hello I just bought this game, really want to try the GS with your guide, thank you

Fantastic video

Thanks a million to this guide! among all the 10-20 mins + video, this one just short/clean/informative with actual descriptive gameplay. just started MHW a week ago, was indecisive which weapon to main and thanks to you, i might just go with great sword xD My take away from this video: after every roll continue to tackle; after every tackle continue either side blow or side slash; after every side blow or side slash continue to sling shot; and after the sling shot continue to the TCS; rinse and repeat!

weapon sounds are just so good

Connection lost broke me
