MH Wilds Beta Rey Dau (Insect Glaive) - 7'11 (Freestyle)

[@Pragles]

updated run here 6'13 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpSzp56fnNOqp6ssi=4bzWswWUwaqeykTE

[@ShupperDupper]

gives me a lot more confidence with it from seeing this run. thanks!

[@Pragles]

im glad, the record tho has been shattered at 5'12 atm and will probably reach sub 5 soon. im happy if i can get sub 6. the weapon requires alot of patience to get use to the clunkiness of it, but once you do, it's really fun

[@Pragles]

will continue to improve this run before beta closes. no matter how clunky the weapon is, i will master it.

[@toresmeris5711]

rising spiral slash into leaping strike is cool asf. but holding circle everytime feels so weird

[@Greasehole78]

This might genuinely by my favourite iteration of ig yet, I love being able to charge attacks, and descending thrust has so much force behind it now, and focus mode is sick

[@-siranzalot-]

The controls certainly need some getting used to but the weapon feels Hot af

​@Greasehole78 definitely not the best interaction of the weapon, if Hammer confuses enemies with bonks then IG should have more aerial moves, Sunbreak and World have better interactions of this weapon as per now, hopefully they improve it in updates or the MR dlc Also, using focus mode moves over and over for decent damage its pretty much like using wirebugs

[@Pragles]

hammer isn't the only weapon that can ko. hunting horn can, Sunbreak SNS can KO with with Shoryu and shield and gu has oils. Guns can ko with certain ammo types, gunlance Reverse blast dash when hitting with the shield can KO, bow can use exhaust etc. i think it's not a good idea to gatekeep mechanics to certain weapon and instead improve on what they can. i mean GU gave every weapon an aerial style. im not saying glaive shouldn't have more aerial stuff, but i don't want them to neglect ground moves either. they've been focusing too much on aerial in my opinion and also keep giving ig these lack luster moves that maybe fun, but aren't the most effective or very janky to work with. me personally i don't mind helicopter, but they could do things like they did with it in rise and buff the damage of it and make it a little more effective things like that. same thing with diving wyvern from rise. i like the idea but the move is plauged with alot of annoyances. needing to get 3 charges for full powered diving wyvern, mediocre damage even at full power, still have to land the move which isn't the easiest to do since you're spending a decent amount of time in the air powering it up, and even if you land it, you still get more end lag than some great sword moves. i feel like im getting punished even if i use the move well. descending thrust from iceborne was the perfect aerial move, still require some precision but was strong, short and effective.

[@hyleori]

if you couldnt get duplicate buffs with rising spiral strike it would be a HUGE improvement imo

[@Pragles]

that would be nice to be guranteed atleast two extracts back.getting orange right now is a pain in the ass.

[@ShadowKaiserin]

Pragles over here dunkin' on me already. Excellent work, as always, I look forward to more videos after the full release!

[@Pragles]

i am too, i still have alot to learn with the weapon but i will continue to improve and make it worth it for you guys

[@OhThatKor]

Great run, really sucks that the glaive's been reduced to this two-dimensional "get the buffs, do the one move, repeat as fast as you can" playstyle though.

[@Pragles]

i mean it's still important to do smaller moves in between monster attacks that don't have alot of recovery, but yes it is pretty much cyclone slash abuse. i still like the new moves even if they are a bit spammy. getting extracts tho is still clunky with slow bug and charged bug going super high up when close to the monster.

[@OhThatKor]

@Pragles 100% the level 1 kinsect speed and the weird aiming up close are killing me. The overall buffs to extract gathering are great but we're gonna need a faster bug for it to really feel good.

[@ABIADAB]

nice run! one thing i might add is that you can probably shorten the distance much effectively by pressing ∆ while in focus mode, you will do a lunge that can easily shorten the distance instead of just walking.

[@zach_zach5898]

Having to hold focus mode felt weird at first, but eh, it ain't nearly as clunky as playing Nero in DMC4 (You're constantly pressing RT) while also pressing LT after every Y press (xbox controller). IG is cinematic as heck, I love this new iteration so far, although I'm prob starting out with SnS (clash mechanic is so fun). Also great run, good PR for IG :D

[@Pragles]

im in love with the new moves and im glad they finally have some power behind them without some type of downside other than having to get your extracts back and controls. i hope they don't nerf them once the full release comes out. :( and thank you glad you enjoyed

[@V.Law360]

Good stuff bro 💪🏻 can't wait for the memes

[@Pragles]

thank you still need to improve tho

[@avicatch]

3:56 you can do midair focus thrust?!

[@Pragles]

yes you can! it's quite handy for getting those high wounds

[@bobbrigs1743]

How are you doing this combo in air after Rising spiral Slash (3:55) ?

[@Pragles]

it was the R1 focus attack. glaive is the only weapon that can do an aerial focus attack

[@GalaxySwift]

What's your method for preforming the descending thrust from the air? The inputs feel so awkward no matter what I've tried.

[@Pragles]

pretty much after i start the vault i quickly slide half of my thumb towards circle and start charging. playing claw grip is the best way as well for utilizing charged descending slash in between your combos atm. hopefully capcom updates some of the controls. it's been taking me a good amount of time to get use to.

[@Pragles]

i forgot to mention, if you do helicopter in the air you can actually cancel it into a descending thrust as well. still have to charge tho

[@Gspi1005]

Very situational, but if you have a controller with back paddles, binding one to b/circle makes this sort of playstyle far easier

[@GalaxySwift]

Yeah that's pretty much what I've been doing. Adding the copter move in means sliding your thumb around while holding a button even more. It's very unwieldy, but would be necessary sometimes. Gyro aiming has been a lifesaver in reducing claw gripping, and seeing as it's natively supported even in PC tells me that's capcoms intended band-aid for that. I might look to get a controller with back buttons and gyro just for playing IG in wilds.

[@Pragles]

@@Gspi1005 i would say alot of people probably aren't going to be comfortable getting a whole new controller just for back paddles. i got one yesterday and tried it tho by binding bug triangle charge and circle for other charged moves and i have to say, it's definitely not the most comfy way to play, but i understand where you're coming from.
