4:26 Makes perfect sense. It's like trying to play the latest iteration of Street Fighter while trying to omit Drive Rush. The game pushes you towards and rewards you for using its universal system mechanics that also work in tandem with your unique weapon mechanics.

[@NuageMH]

Except they know that many players didn't like and use the lock on mechanic which was very similar to this focus mode so imo it's a weird choice, I personally don't like it I like the focus attacks but having to use focus to redirect any of your attacks looks horrible

[@kgyo2134]

​@@NuageMH It's not the same thing neither similar, at least you will remember wilds for this unique mechanic with this usable without cooldown they can make very fast monsters fun to hunt, I'm thinking at the Master rank uberfast monster where you need this 100% of the time, adding to the point, you can make L2 input (focus mode) a toggle input instead of holding it

the follow up of Helm is so fking satysfing to see, i cant wait to try it out! same with the super Edgy dismount and the QoL from Focus Mode to redirect attacs

[@genkotone7979]

For Thrust move being removed, it was due to it being replaced by Crescent Slash on the triangle button. So the triangle button combo would be Overhead Slash > Overhead Slash > Crescent Slash and then a Rising Slash with circle

[@PeppoLS]

Exactly! I’ll talk about it in the next video!

Every attack especially the regular overhead slash looks quick. Helm breakers extra anime slashes are sick as shit! Focus mode is going to be an interesting addition. Can’t wait!

[@Dfuegito]

You got this out quick! Great job, hope you had fun

[@facade11663]

There is a new way to level up guage as well. The devs demonstrated it in the 4 player stream. If you hold R2 it will step through the combo without swinging doing the spirit attack you release on.(ideally roundslash) It is faster than doing the combo and only consumes guage for the move you released on.

[@shl6367]

Glad to see the iai still whiffed at 1:42 😭

[@VeldWolf]

And this was completely without the Charged Spirit Slash by holding down R2 which adds a whole new layer to the weapon and its combo system.

[@PeppoLS]

Yep! By the time I made this gameplay I had no idea how to do that 😂 When Capcom shared those screenshots where you could read how to perform all the attacks it was already too late! Anyway I’m gonna discuss that in the next video! Stay tuned!

[@zulqarnay5116]

LS looks more…flawless than before 🤔interresting indeed. Thanks for the review 💪🏼

[@lamhuynh7201]

In the stream Tokuda also showcase a different way of using LS which is free flow crimson-spirit combo chainning into each other and using spirit charge to skip into spirit round slash for quick gauge lv up. . This might be an interesting approach to LS as crimson-spirit 1-fade slash chainning has a lot of maneuverability and would let you weave through monster with tight hit box or are designed to counter foresight timing

[@lamhuynh7201]

Crimson is supposed to have boosted dmg compare to normal so against monster similar to velk, ala you could just weave through their attack and do constant damage in case foresight has really low motion value

[@loneaquila]

This is my preferred playstyle, I guess MHFU LS playstyle is still an option and i love it@

[@PeppoLS]

Crimson slashes have an insanely high mobility, that’s for sure. If you’ll master how to reposition yourself when using them I think they may play a key role in the LS kit, even more so if they will have good elemental motion values 💪🏻

[@federic06g67]

[@BanTheManofGreed]

I'm glad that cool animation was a mount ending animation.

[@Honneylemz]

I hope they don't force us to interact with focus mode in ways we didn't need to in the previous games. Hopefully the "hard to orient attacks without using focus mode" is an issue of polish and not by design to force us to use focus mode.

[@danthedodogama1380]

Also something I've seen on reddit was that ypu can now sheathe your longsword during the helm breaker attack to cancel it so that you don't lose your red Guage

[@Sandlchi]

I really hope they make the gameplay without focus mode smoother. I hate having my camera jerked around constantly with no control, it will always be inferior to manual adjusting. World already did a decent job at letting players readjust in combos via directional inputs, if this element was expanded there would be no need for forced camera perspectives

[@angnhan9946]

Since there really aren't many options after the Spirit Gauge turns red, I wish they kept the charged attack like in MHR, but that probably won't happen.

[@TheNeteenhu]

Dude, why are you doing this to me, I'm so hyped!!!

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

Man, theres still something I only saw one time in a video of the demo footage with LS and I want to know more about it but no one else seems to have even tried. Someone did spirit combo in white gauge, missed roundslash, and IMMEDIATELY went into spirit I and then spirit II. It canceled the automatic sheathe of roundslash and it was really fast, like faster than canceling into special sheathe. I'd love to know how that happened and if it only works on a whiff or what. Anyway, 5th gen LS looks fun. I'm not really sure I like how effective focus mode is at reorienting attacks. Oh another thing I wanted to see is if you can do aerial spirit slash after sheathing in the air instead of doing helmbreaker.

[@PeppoLS]

I’ll talk about that in my next video. That’s the Spirit Charge, a new move they introduced in Wilds that can be chained pretty much wi the anything and that includes the roundlsash. Depending on the charge level you can go into SBI, II, III or at full charge directly into spirit roundlash 🤟🏼

@PeppoLS How does the Iai spirit slash (counter) feel? Does it feel like mh rise or more like mhworld? Cmq sei in grande!

[@dharmeshmistry342]

2:27 Notice that while mid spirit helm breaker there’s an option to sheathe your weapon. I’m very curious to see how this is supposed to work, since it’s not present in World. Maybe there’s aerial combos? Maybe you can cancel the spirit slash into a sheathe to preserve your spirit energy?

[@PeppoLS]

Yep, you can sheathe as soon as you land to not use the helm breaker :) It’s a new cancel!

[@nimbusws2566]

Hopefully they add it before full release or even before the public demo. Elemental weapons had visual feedback for their elements but everything else seemed to lack it.

[@PeppoLS]

I agree for the blood effect. Imo they should have added it, hopefully they do it in the final release… Feedback on hits are ok tho, I liked it when playing. It’s minimal but it works, I don’t like all those flashy effects they put in Rise Sunbreak.

Finally we got a LS video palyed by LS main🎉🎉🎉 But I am very curious about either LS noob or LS main didn't use the new triangle move in red gauge,is the new move got any problem or something?😮

[@PeppoLS]

I kind of expected it to deal more damage, ngl. The thing is that this is a raw LS, probably with element the crimson slashes hit harder. I had the feeling the big damage went out from HB + Spirit release, that’s why I focused on that :)

[@柳鍾昂-b2s]

@@PeppoLS Got it. I thought the crimson slash and step spirit slash will be the main combat tool after the LS revealed. But looks like the HB performed more faster than iceborn, and it is really easy to get back to red gauge than I expected. thanks for your sharing, I can't wait to play LS by myself!!!

Peppo! Just from the mechanics, how does “sheathing” feel? Are you anticipating that Quick sheath might be useful this time around? Just watching the vids it seems pretty fast already.
