The most powerful thing here isn't really the Crit Draw but your perfect positioning and how you read the monster's attacks pattern. Great job.

[@adolfemmanuelesparas3922]

Always landing a charged GS attack is my favorite feeling in Monster Hunter.. it's sometimes hard with the placement and timing, but the euphoria it causes when connects is second to none.. pure bliss

[@g.6991]

My favorite was tanking any hit in the game with a Lance while everyone has to doge or run away.

[@JanusHoW]

Ironically, the big dumb "hit with maximum force" stick is the weapon that requires the player really know the monster to do amazingly well with. You have to anticipate where the part of the monster will _be,_ not where it currently is - because chances are by the time you're done charging, it'll be somewhere else.

[@Nrt2Pnt0]

​@@JanusHoW yes this. I have a buddy of mine who mains dual blades. And he tells me "idk how you play like that. I try great sword and I'm slow but you make it look so fast". In the words of the great tow- mater. "Ain't no need to watch where I'm going. Just need to know where I've been."

Yes, crit draw is impressive, but I find your positioning to be even more so. Knowing exactly where the Rathian's head is gonna be every single time, repositioning, and managing to land a fully charged crit draw is *chef's kiss*

@@toy5965 I've been playing since MH1 and I still can't figure out how to get this good. Then again, I'm not usually having to deal with charged attacks like this, I'm a s&s main.

[@chairvergil4552]

@@MistressMajora in MH1 the monsters like rathalos and rathian have have a chain of attacks they follow. if you can memorize them it'd be a little easier to predict where the head will be next

I'm more impressed with those tail spin dodges. Lad stood 1 step away from the range without needing to roll lol

[@iambob300000]

it was way easier back in earlier games because the monsters moved more robotically

[@RexAurelian]

As much as I love TCS and shoulderbash, nothing beats the raw satisfaction of those Crit Draw swings. I was forced into using a Crit Draw build for Alatreon in Iceborne and it was the most satisfying hunt ever.

[@hunkirino]

Same here with me. I've always been a crit draw GS main from the old world. But since World came out, I adapted and loved the new GS mechanics. With alatreon though... That fight was frustrating with teammates. I knew I couldn't depend on people and the new GS mechanics if I wanna break through his elemental damage checks so I resorted back into the hit and run crit draw style of GS, created a new build, watched many many videos on how to solo him and I FINALLY beat Alatreon eventually! It was THE most memorable and satisfying moment in monster hunter for me next to beating fatalis in World. I definitely know what you mean when you memorize his move sets and how to punish him in between his attacks while also I-frame rolling through them. It really felt symbolic for me looking back into old gen games haha

[@inazumatan7050]

Fatalis, as well. They made it hard but not satisfying since all the hit boxes are shit. I ended up having to do the cone bait technique on a lot of weapons.

Man the turning mechanics were so satisfying to punish in these older games (posting this again because apparently some people had to come in and ruin it for everyone and honestly I just don't understand how this series can have so many elitists. Btw, love your content, been watching since your tempered ruiner nergigante speedrun like 2 years ago.)

[@disturbedpyro4511]

Every popular game franchise has gatekeepers and Elitists! It’s highly annoying and extremely immature. I never understood why people are so concerned with how someone else plays video games. If I want to play Doom Eternal on the easiest difficulty I’m going to! If I want to grind for gear and Zenny in MH: GU, World and Rise, I will! I’m all for challenging and difficult games as well. I enjoyed the hell out of Horizon: Zero Dawn on the hardest difficulty.

Turning monsters were great bc it was just free dmg if you were smart and good at head sniping.

For me, critical draw peak was in MHGU with nakarkos armor

I'm intrigued, why was the Nakarkos armor good for Crit Draw GS? None of the skills on his two G-Rank sets scream Crit Draw to me.

[@JanusHoW]

@@niklasmitfussl2639 You're thinking Black X Armor. It uses Nakarkos parts, but primarily the Dark Pieces and Dark Stones you got from mining the giant regenerating sword in Pokke Village. The Black X set, with all of its pieces, gave BlightRes +10, FastCharge +10, Crit Draw +10 and Readiness +10, giving you Blightproof (immune to elemental blights), Focus (faster charge time), Critical Draw, and Sheath Control - a skill that combines the effects of Punish Draw (deals KO/exhaust damage with draw attacks) and Quick Sheath.

[@bunneza]

I really wish crit draw build are great again It really versatile play styles and answering many GS problem without too much finesse being able to do various counter and stuff to access the coveted TCS

[@Argnos2293]

It made me really mad that they nerfed crit draw to only 60% affinity. It wasn’t the strongest greatsword style in world so I’m not sure where that nerf came from. The only thing I can think of is because longsword’s sheathe stance applies crit draw. I really hope that going forward this change won’t stay, it really hurts to miss out on those crits. :(

[@bloodbane93]

​@@Argnos2293 that's exactly why it got nerfed. Capcom really killed an entire weapon playstyle just to give LS a shiny new toy

[@zander2758]

​@@Argnos2293 crit draw is still really good in rise, while it doesn't grant 100% affinity anymore it grants 60% for ~2.5 secs after the draw attack meaning you can easily get crits with the first 3 or so attacks of faster weapons, even on greatsword its still good, i run a critdraw surging strikes build myself and it still rocks in the damage and mobility aspect.
