How the Wirebug Changes Monster Hunter

Out of all the new skills, mechanics, and features introduced in Monster Hunter Rise, the most important one of them all might just be a lil green bug. This is the story of the wirebug, its curious origins, and the development team behind it.

I would love to see something closer to hunter arts come back. Switch skills are good too. I hope wirebugs don’t come back unless we get a rise 2 in like 5 years

[@rohan68842]

I hope hunter arts never come back in any mainline MH games. Just like wirebugs they're antithetical to MH gameplay, gimmicks that, while fun, should be relegated to side-games and spinoffs.

@@rohan68842 having to clutch claw monsters was boring and forced on you, unless you want to spend more time killing the monster.

[@Komodojou]

In comparing wirebugs and the clutch claw, I think that the claw is a bit too constrained in its usefulness, but especially that it's far too isolated in its mechanics. It's essentially a stand-alone gimmick that doesn't *really* tie in to anything else in a significant way, and I find myself very rarely using it. The wirebug, on the other hand and as you mentioned, ties into absolutely everything I do, and transforms the way I play the game. Whether the bug returns in later games, or if the claw and the bug are merged somehow, I do know for sure that I greatly enjoy this mechanic in Rise.

[@kukukachu]

I believe that the clutch claw can really shine if they just take the time to flesh it out and truly polish it's properties. The clutch claw was very much half baked in World and that is probably why so many don't see what it's true potential is.

[@Arlesmon]

I'll prefer if they mix both of them. Because both have great things, though the use of the wirebug makes it easier in many things, and they have to balance it by having the high end monsters have AoE attacks thta you have to use the wirebug, while in other games you could deal with some of them by dodging or tanking

[@kevinl-g9759]

[@scragglie]

its just good, well edited, high production quality, and the narrator (blue) actually has a fucking clue of what hes talking about unlike most "videogame essayists" nowadays.

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

To be completely honest portable 3rd, and 3 ultimate also had a lot of differences, although they were similar in a lot of ways, it felt like Portable 3rd, was a direct sequel to Freedom Unite, with some modernised controls and mechanics, with Tri expanding the franchise further beyond what Dos was able to achieve, and was actually a lot closer to World than people realise, as I've only played Tri, then World myself, and only stopped because they switched off the servers for Tri on the Wii.

[@Mode_na]

Not to undermine your argument, but I find the motive behind the implementation of the wirebug to completely different: The wirebug doesn't just represent a general increase in mobility and moveset diversity. The wirebug represents the "rise" in rise. Before Iceborne and rise, MH fights has almost always happened on the X and Z plane (ground). In a weird way, majority of the interactions can be made into a 2D-top-down game. With a minority of styles and weapons given access the the Y-dimension. I feel like this has always been a sour spot for both development teams: the expressive designs of the monsters, weapons, moves, and environments, will always be limited because the gameplay (the interactions between monster, player, environment) must always happen in 2D because the hunters can't fly... UNLESS??? Introducing the clutchclaw: the first weapon mechanic that doesn't take away something in exchange for providing you access to the Y plane. All while keeping this new interaction more "grounded" in both aesthetics and functions. Followed by this, the portable team introduced their take on how to increase Y-plane interactions: the wirebug. And I'm sure I don't need to talk too much about what it does anymore. I might make a video on this myself someday, but to wrap up: In contrast to your statement: I believe both teams are headed in the exact same direction: "Improve/increase the interaction in the Y axis for this 3D game and liberate the design of monsters, weapons, environments (everything) from the limitations of 2D interactions". How to go about this is different, but I believe the goal is the same. P.S. I believe the numerous differences you've listed between the main and portable series has less to do with what the developers WANT to do, and more to do with what the developer NEEDS to do. It's in the name: "portable series", the differences aren't caused by different creative directions and vision. Rather, different technical and experiential goals. The differences are simply amplified by the revolutionary changes of the 5th generation on both platforms.

[@Mode_na]

I believe if I added more "I believe" in the statements it would have been too cluttered, but I do mean everything I said as a personal feeling rather than fact

[@TheRealFolkBlues]

There's some points here I wouldn't really agree with, but I can honestly see where you're coming from here. The main thorn for me here is how this kinda implies that both 4U and World also didn't focus on adding Y-plane interactions with monsters outside of certain styles and weapons. Sure, there wasn't anything to the extent Rise handled it, but you can still see that general push to add more verticality into hunts as the series went on. That's even why underwater swimming was even introduced in the first place: it was the first attempt to add that third dimension into hunts, but was shelved for 4th gen's taller, more experimental map design. World and Rise both iterate on that in very different ways. I'm struggling to consider the clutch claw a mechanic that gives you Y-plane interactions, and that's mainly because its use is completely static in Iceborne. It has just one solitary use against monsters and doesn't really impact any other part of the hunting experience. That's probably at least in due part to it being introduced in Iceborne, well after base World's maps and monsters, while the entirety of Rise had the luxury of being designed with the wirebug in mind. That's just what I think, though. You've got an interesting, equally valid perspective on why these two teams are taking the approaches they are. Respect all the way through.

[@Mode_na]

​ @Blue Thanks for replying. I understand why you disagreed with my statement on the clutchclaw (CC); I originally had another 2 paragraphs giving examples on why the clutch claw increased Y-plane interactions, but deleted it cuz it was getting too long. But a quick example would be my favorite weapon: SnS Before the CC, whenever a monster flies (or when a weakspot is out of reach for my poor toothpick of a sword), The fight pauses and the fun interactions just stop, I either wait, or find a way to get it down. CC was the first mechanics to allow me to interact with things beyond my reach. Parts of the monster that was not reasonable for me to even try to damage is now worth pursuing; instead of just waiting when a monster flies, I can damage it, shoot it down with the slinger launch, or tenderize a part in preparation for when it lands. While it's incredibility limiting, the CC certainly provided me with more Y plane interactions in iceborne. In regards to your first paragraph, I think the big difference between the CC in iceborne compare to 4U, tri's underwater, world's verticality is.. Accessing the Y plane didn't cost me anything. _It's free real estate!_ In some dimension of gameplay, something else need to disappear in exchange for gaining access to the Y plane in past iterations of MH. CC in iceborne and wirebug in rise marks the first time that Y plane interactions wasn't so expensive. And thanks again for the feedback on my comments, at the end of the day, we're both just taking educated guesses on the design motives of the MH games, and I think it's reasonable say they're both good guesses, and the truth might be somewhere in-between.

Really nice video. I think Wirebugs are one of the best mechanics have been introduced to the entire franchise and a really nice improvement of hunter arts and hunting styles, I like much more the vision of combat and customization the portable team has. I really want it to come back and see how it improves on the next "Portable entry". I don't really think it's going to have much of an impact in MH6, but I hope I'm wrong, but I also like to have these two very different points of view of MH. And yes, I agree, it's much better integrated and feels more natural than mantles and clutchclaw. Also, I think it's way better balanced and fun to use in Sunbreak, especially in the endgame, with the right abilities it's wonderful.

havent played Rise but it seems like they wanted a game thats less challenging so you can enjoy whaling on monsters with less setbacks. more focused on the hunter than the monster, which i think is great but i feel like it takes all the attention from previous games. nobody ever mentions mh4u but gen 4 brought vertical mobility, charge blade and insect glaive. 4 doesnt make the hunter op (infact it makes the monsters 4 fucking times stronger in G rank to scale to a 4 player party regardless of how many people join or even if youre offline) while giving more diverse and balanced weapons to face monsters, making the game perfectly balanced between challenge and gameplay experience

All I want for MH6 is a slower paced game, more like the old gen. I want to take my time to prepare myself before a hunt, to search for the monster in the map, and be careful when fighting. I don't want wirebug to return, but more mobility and away to personnalise how we fight is, I think, necessary (compared to old gen).

[@phimic8867]

Agreed. All the new crazy and outlandish experimental features of the portable games are fun (including wirebug), but going back to the basics would be a welcome choice by Capcom if they go that route with 6. The awe of encountering a new monster only to realize you aren't equipped to fight it, then coming back better prepared was unmatched in the older mainline titles. World skirted the line between arcade and realism with tracking but RISE made it all too easy to just see the monster on the map then fight it. To be able to actively HUNT a monster, tag it and track it and strategize, rather than devolve in to an arena style flashy beat em up would embody what I personally feel a Monster Hunter game should be. Grounded. All that being said, more Monster Hunter is a good thing. Regardless of what direction Capcom takes, I'm here for it.

​@@phimic8867but didn't world did it well in regards to tracking monsters?

The painting mechanic, while i understand it, Just juts be a one time per Hunt and not something you have to paint over and over, because you already have the info of the monster. And yeah, the camp did kill some of the part of preparing before a fight, but consider this, you don't have everything with you in the Hunt, but you do have some other emergency supplies in a truck, which is why i think how they went though this mechanic

[@phimic8867]

@@Arlesmon World did in fact do it very well. I was in fact stating that it was one of it's best features. World does what I hope every future mainline MH pulls off in the future. The complexity of a hunt. The thrill of finding, and facing a beast of unimaginable power. My complaint was RISE made monster hunting almost too easy. In the sense that it shows where a monster is, even if it isn't identified, and makes it easy to just run to/wirebug around and start slashing. World made hunting an immersive experience through tracking, identifying, marking, chasing and challenging a monster to a fight until your target was defeated. I suppose I didn't clarify that everything I hope MH6 does is exactly what World does, but more expanded and slower paced. Basically, very much less like RISE with it's outlandish and flashy arcade approach and more grounded like World was. More World, less RISE. All that being said, your response to my comment is a sign that Blue is getting fresh views and that makes me happy.

[@vespiaryb]

I love the wirebug, but I don't think it'll be in the next mainline release. I'll miss it, but hopefully they implement something that fills the same niche they have as a resource we can either spend defensively or offensively. I'd be alright with that resource being separate from the traversal tool, but I do hope there's as fluid and expressive of a movement ability in MH6

[@esssss8415]

[@victoriazero8869]

Ultimately I feel negativity towards the wirebug is tied to the classic "are the games getting easier or are we getting better?" debate. Older fans who are now seasoned veterans see and use the wirebug and say such buzzwords as "power creep" and "crutch" without understanding how the game is balanced around it.

[@TruePeaceSeeker]

Wirebug trivializes hunter movement its a disaster, their only way of "balance" is making monster move with zero opening. Risen monsters are the only ones balanced for rise hunters, just like deviant monsters are balanced for GU hunters

[@Arlesmon]

One part of the negativity is how weapon have ways to counter moves that it makes using lance or gunlance pointless considering it was the Best defensive option Why use a lance when a long sword has counters? It's a fun mechanic, but one that might hinder some playstyles if one prefers them

[@wydx120]

I don't mind the wirebug existing, but there wouldn't be "sweeping attacks" (5:06) if there were no wirebugs, and that's the true damage of the mechanic, I think. If any monster with any of those attacks make a return, they will force either a moveset rework, or the return of the wirebug or a similar high mobility tool. I am one of the 2 dozen gunlance mains, and the playstyle I enjoy is being a defensive, high Guard unflinching wall & aggro sponge for my friends. The wirebug, with all the indirect consequences it has in monster and moveset design, shits in the face of that style and says "either go zoom or die". So much for player expression, I guess Like, don't get me wrong, I'm not against the existence of the wirebug, in paper; only the problems it creates with it. I'm glad you enjoy it because it enhances *your* playstyle, but don't make the mistake of assuming it's everyone's Also it begs the question as to why you couldn't get a clip where you were "punished" for overusing your wirebug. I hope it's because you were too lazy and not because that cooldown be mighty fast, even for the longer ones 👀 I don't think the clutch claw is a fair comparison, because that's a niche utility tool, with a very limited use. It doesn't have the versatility that is baked into the wirebug, because it wasn't meant to be versatile. I think a fairer comparison to the wirebug would be the capes from World; and instead, the clutch claw would be more fairly compared to the ability of climbing into monsters (pre-Rise), which is a single ability with the single purpose of damaging the monster in order to topple it; the clutch claw is another way to do it, but again, single purpose. I don't look forward to the claw coming back, but I won't be bothered by it either, because it's niche nature means I don't need to adapt my playstyle around it if I don't want to. And that's why I hope the A-Team doesn't feel forced to incorporate the wirebug in future installments. The dog is fine tho. The dog can stay

[@flisboac]

IMHO, the wirebug sucks, in great part for the exact reasons you stated. I think the wirebug mechanic is not truly optional. The game design in general demands that you use it in one way or another. Wirebug inspires moveset and encounter design that I despise, for a MH game. Wirebug controls are cumbersome. Also, there're many disproportionately advantageous skills and switch skills that force you to adopt it in some way. For someone that would rather not use the wirebug, that's not very enticing. Say what you want about the clutch claw, but at least you could really ignore that mechanic altogether, with the right build (or hell, even without the right build). In general, there're a lot of things in Rise, bug and small, that I dislike. I guess I just prefer the main teams' philosophy. But hey, this is just one opinion. ButI truly hope the wirebug does not come back in future instalments (at least not in the way it's implemented today).

[@kukukachu]

Capcom has created a division between what players are looking for. I for one, don't like Rise nor do I like the wirebug. I believe that the clutch claw is a great idea, however, it was only half baked within World. There are so many great potentials for the clutch claw that the mainline team left on the table. When it comes to the evolution of hunting monster, something definitely gotta give. You gotta be able to be able to reach the monster that's flying in the air or at least be given the chance to. When I first jumped into World, I couldn't believe that there wasn't any way to get to the flying monster other than Insect Glaive or Flash bug. Monster Hunter has been going for HOW long and they never thought that this mechanic was flawed?...but yea, the clutch claw still has great potential, it just needs to be more fleshed out. Just look at all the grappler bugs around World, that could have been cool if there were grappling points in certain areas that you could take advantage of. That would also give you a reason to use a perk like taunt, so that you could taunt the monster to a certain area of the map. Other players could also set up traps while you are taunting the monster...there's just so much potential that people aren't seeing.

MH6? Which game is 5!? I swear nobody knows how to count. If world was 5 then rise is already 6. Are you gonna tell me both world and rise is 5, that makes no sense.

[@TheRealFolkBlues]

The extremely oversimplified explanation here is that World is Monster Hunter 5 and Rise is essentially Monster Hunter Portable 5th. Capcom officially considers World Monster Hunter 5, despite the game not being titled as such (they admitted to not calling it MH5 so it wouldn't alienate newcomers). The numbered, mainline entries in the series are what start off a generation in MH (MH4 was the start of gen 4, etc). The Portable Team's games are still fully-realized MH games and all, but their games always release after the numbered MH games, further building upon ideas or mechanics introduced by the mainline team. They're sorta like half-steps before the next numbered game releases. This is all just a super simplified explanation, but that's the general idea.
