【MHW:IB】Let's talk about LS! (Iai Slash + tips) Part 2

[@PeppoLS]

Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYOVfIuVn5yIhLs Part 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHqWopKZn9mmpbM For everyone who is asking about the i-frames of IS and ISS, I don’t know yet... I asked some data miners about this topic, but I’m still waiting 😅 Once I knew them, I’ll write them here so than everybody will be able to see them 👋🏻

Man, punishing draw would have been such a fun decoration. Nice video peppo

Yeah I was hoping for that too. I mean it's not broken or anything but it would've been sooo fun.

Well this aged poorly. Or well..?

[@jdh1354]

I realize it's quite difficult to explain something like this when it comes to LS but I just want to say that your doing a great job and even tho it's been my main weapon since world came out. I'm still learning some very helpful tips to make the weapon even more fun to use.

[@liewkarwei3984]

always tried to find this kind of video to know the mindset of the good player, and you are the only who did it

[@anubrakahn2970]

Awesome video man. The comparison clips take time and the kushala comparison clips were super helpful in illustrating proper positioning and timing. Thank you for this!

[@InevitableTruth247]

This video was a fair bit difficult to understand what you were saying as it was getting slightly drowned out by the background music and the volume gain on the mic. Some feedback I would suggest is tuning down the music even lower when you are speaking! An easy fix if you are financially able is to purchase a 20-60 USD microphone that has some good reviews and is stand alone (if you are able to implement it). One final suggestion is to maybe subtitle. Just some positive feedback I wanted to give! Your tutorial is excellent and the clips slowed down truly helped understand the concept you were presenting!

Wow! 👏🏻😲💕 I’ve recently picked up longsword after maining Greatsword and Hammer for so long. Your content on Longsword is so freaking helpful! Love the way you breakdown each videos into a single component to focus on and you explain them so well! It also gives me time to practice each component until I grasped the hang of it and then move on to the next vid (next component). Great job! 🌟

[@Bynoe]

Hey, great video man. I sympathise that it must be tough not being an editor, but for what it's worth I really do think these are excellent videos and I feel like I've learned a lot watching them so thanks for your efforts. Imo it's totally worth it 😊

[@lonewolface286]

Another awesome video ! The hint about iai slash and its "cost" in positioning is super helpful !

[@zeromailss]

Try 1.25 speed, I find it to be just perfect

[@Jakman01]

I really learned a lot about the mechanics of LS from this. Overall, excellent job. The clips in slow mo helped so much. I would definitely love to see more content like this!! I would just rebalance the background music so I could get more voice clarity.

[@LizdardKing86]

This series is great Peppo. You’re the guy that made me start playing LS. You could give it a shot with the punishing draw LS. Barioth awakening with 4 attacks and using only the barioth chest you lose very little raw. If I can destroy Goldian with it in 3 mins you the master can do crazy shit.

[@PeppoLS]

I tried it already, that’s why I told you it’s funny, but nothing more 😅 Ofc you gain openings from the stuns but the problem is that in speedruns you gain those openings in other ways, so you don’t need this ability. It can be useful for chilling gameplay with friends, but if we talk about speedruns, the DPS you lose from that Barioth Chest is huge if you want to improve runs by seconds 😉

[@Qeud_Archive]

So the key points this time are Lai Slash and Positioning! Thank you for the video!

[@marchssky2714]

Great video! It is so rare to see these kinds of quality tutorial content. Keep up the good work!

Didn’t know getting the counter doubled the timer 200 hours alone in IB and 700 in World. Good vid

[@NelsonOokami]

Man, this series of videos is amazing! Thank you very much for this kind of content! I don't understand the intricacies of editing videos but I understood all you said and everything was very well shown. Cheers from Brazil, my friend! :D

[@Yusio]

I'm so glad you finished a part 2! tbh, I didn't know that using the iai slash as a proper parry would allow double the refill time xD from what I'm understanding, you use iai slash at the beginning of the fight to have enough spirit gauge to do the foresight slash and get up to red gauge quicker, and deciding when to use iai slash vs. finishing the combo depends on your positioning? Ive gotten into a bad habit of mindlessly adding in iai slash that I have to break... and my positioning always sucks balls, because I always end up foresight slashing the wrong way where I can't take advantage of monster openings >_< its just a matter of practice and me not fumbling with my keyboard Dx I can imagine how difficult it is to edit all your material, and to voice over everything as well...! Thank you for taking the time to put all this together! I'll take whatever tips you can give me! If its more comfortable, I second the other person who suggested subtitles :) Looking forward to seeing more content, whether its more speed runs or mini tutorials/tips like these!

[@Mirranda096]

Thanks so much Peppo! After watching your first video, I'm glad you made this one next!

[@reinaldovarian8510]

Whoa i just know about hyper armor on LS after watch this. Nice video!

[@lordtyrus21]

Stai facendo un ottimo lavoro per la community Peppo, continua così! Questi video sono utili anche a capire in che modo uno speedrunner ragiona e gioca su MH, oltre a scoprire tutto sulla LS da un sensei. E lascia perdere i commenti di chi non è nemmeno capace a leggere un titolo, non notando né il tema ne la serializzazione, sprechi solo tempo 👌🏻 Keep up the good work!

[@slykke1417]

Im a little late to the video but I just want to say that I really appreciate that you put in the effort to edit and make these videos for us players to become better longsword users. Because of this, you are undoubtedly my favorite speedrunner. Thanks Peppo and much love

[@jekkareznikov9769]

Man, this is literally what I've been waiting for... There are a thousand videos about the possible moves of the LS but nothing.... Absolutely nothing about the logic of when to use which move and why or positioning! Looking forward to part 3 and onward! P.S. New sub

[@M0du5Pwn3n5]

Really great video. The examples were really good, and gave a good idea of when to use it, when to skip it, and what it can be used for. Small thing: "gauge" (as in "spirit gauge") rhymes with "page".

Pls talk about helm breaker next as to how to use it properly, aim, switch amining and most effective ways to use it.

[@bescksel9894]

One thing you should know is if you use the skills that boosts affinity on drawing attacks (I don’t remember the name), it will boost your affinity when you do the R2 + X, so let’s say you re doing a combo, then you do R2 + X (counts as sheathing the weapon) and then you do R2, so the Iai slash, you will have a 100% chance of doing a critical hit (if the skill is at maximum), plus of you have a attack boost of 140% on critical hits, you will deal way stronger attacks on the monster.

[@loiik6068]

Great follow up to the first one!

[@FatNugget2000]

New player here, nice explanation on positioning with iai slash! The situations were really useful, keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ryker3696]

Thank you for the video! I have been wanting to get into LS for a while but every time I start messing with it I just get so punished and so I return to GS or Glaive but this makes me feel like I can keep trying and have a little insight and direction. Thank you!

[@madao9946]

I felt validated when you said using punishing draw is fun. Imagine a charging monster and you stun it with iai spirit slash. hella cool. 🤣

[@TheRegulus01]

I think we'll have to see with punishing draw now with Frostfang knocking on the door. The Barioth armor was nice in the beginning, but having to use two pieces on an armor set without any offensive skills is a bit hard. I myself am using a maximum might-frostcraft set with Velkhana setbonus on the longswords (yeah, using elemental longwords. Like them), but the Velkhana armor is already unflexible with the amount of slots. I am exited to try punishing draw-frostcraft when the frostfang is here. Just hoping that some pieces have criteye to use critical element. Also hoping the Velkhana Gamma is going to have either more slots or at least goes for easier usage of critical element. Definitely a very informative video on the special sheath attacks. I still struggle a bit with the iai slash, but am able to use the iai spirit slash nearly perfectly now.

thanks for taking the time to make this

[@denisserdukov8200]

Verry cool video I played a lot of LS by my self and practically I am not that bad but it exists a lot if theory that I doesn't know. Finally I fine one person who can tell me the backround informations that are really useful to improve my own playstile. Please make more of this videos if you can afford the time.

[@maui4564]

More of this please when you have the time.

[@davy6498]

So might have been asked before but after you use foresight slash how is it you get some spirit gauge to them follow up with the roundslash to increase your gauge level because I don't have any spirit gauge left to perform the roundslash so just curious how your doing that thx great videos by the way very helpful stuff

[@Ephemeraltrip]

Even if punishing draw were a lvl4 deco that only came with that skill and nothing else, I would probably still use it, that way you'd have to sacrifice some utility by using up a 4 slot for a single skill so it could be considered balanced maybe. I'd sign a petition or vote for that to have it implemented in a future update, so maybe if enough LS mains agree it could eventually happen?

[@nICKZoDoo]

Nice tutorial! Whats the LS at the end of the vid?

[@Sahholt]

Thank you video will definitely be useful

[@jackpark7979]

Hey Peppo! Love the vids :) Learned a lot from it. I was wondering when the optimal timing is to perform a spirit iai slash. Can't seem to know when to press R2 on my dual shock to perform the parry. I either get hit and fly away, or there is no parry animation at all.

[@SakaiYuji1405]

For iai slasher honestly until now i still dont know when to press ∆ to perform the counter, but for the iai spirit slash if u pay attention to your character he/she took a tiny little bit of time to put their hand on the sword then doing the draw attack, all u need to do is wait for the monster to hit u exactly right before they put their hand on the sword to successfully counter the attack, its kinda hard to explain but just practice it u will get used to it

[@PeppoLS]

I think you should consider the input delay of pressing R2. The input is triggered once you fully pressed R2, so probably this is why it seems so difficult to time correctly.

[@ryugan77]

Thanks for all informations! Do you have a video to advise me to learn the best practices for combos please or do you plan to make one?

[@RosebudsGMS]

Tips on nailing the timing of the sheathe parry slashes? The timing feels weird or very tight.

[@PeppoLS]

It’s extremely tight...

[@niklasmitfussl2639]

Practice on monsters that have very easy tells, or rather, attacks that have very tight timings aswell. What helped me a fair bit at the start is practicing and perfecting rolling through attacks. Once you know when the attack actually hits/when the active hitbox starts, figuring out the parry becomes alot easier afterwards as you already know exactly when the attack should connect. Two monsters I can always recommend for roll- and parry-practicing are Nargacuga and Zinogre since they both have very short hitboxes on most attacks that can easily be i-framed. (Nargacuga more so than Zino, but both work in my opinion.) TLDR: To perform perfect parries, one must first learn how to i-frame. Hope that helps!

[@gravedancer7231]

Is the sheath parry i-frame same as dodge roll i-frame or even tighter?

[@PeppoLS]

Grave Dancer I already asked to data miners, I’m waiting to them...

[@niklasmitfussl2639]

A normal roll has 13 i-frames, the parry-timing on iai and spirit-iai are definetely tighter than that.

Hey Peppo, in regards to 10:00 (Punishing Draw) what are your thoughts about the new Barioth armour we're getting that gives punishing draw for a single piece? Do you have any hopes it might make it into meta sets? I'm going to be playing with it for sure

[@AsuraVeri]

Thank you. Great video.

[@karlchen0079]

Thanks, good video bro! Keep up the good work if you like it :)

[@vitsavicky]

I just can't get the timing on this right. I always use it too soon because most games don't give you the i-frames from the very start of the animation (button press), but somewhere in the middle. MH is different.

[@Graf_Tryhard_IV]

Very nice Video, thanks a lot! :) Can you tell me the name of the background song at 0:31 ?

9:48 Peppo come si chiama la katana che ti sei equipaggiato? Come la posso ottenere?

[@Ginocide02]

The video was slightly difficult to understand because you when you were talking, a lot of animations are being played out on the background. I managed to understand what you're saying just fine, but I had to replay the video to see "With Iai" and "Without Iai". I do understand that it is difficult since you wanted a side-by-side comparison, but I think it's worth noting anyway. Also, do you think that Iai counter has too tight of a window to execute? Or do you think that it is fine being very difficult to master? So far, I can only reliably dodge Tigrex spin-move and Glavenus tail smash with it. My biggest problem is trying to learn how to Iai spirit counter monster roars, I usually get my counter interrupted mid-animation and I lose my red charge without damage being dealt.

[@franck8731]

Hello ! Can you make an episode of the active invincibility frame data for LS (foresight slash + iai moves). I still don't really understand how iai moves invincibility works, how many spiritual gage I need and the timing.

[@PeppoLS]

Franck 8:18 you need 10% of the bar to activate a successful foresight slash. i-frames for FS are 45, while for Iss and Is we don’t know yet.

[@robinkiyomi7560]

Ouf I stopped playing MHW a few months ago, bought Iceborne last week and I wondered if my timing became shit with the time I didn't knew they changed the way foresight slash works haha I recognized the blue flair was missing in times but I didn't think about it, now I know why I "can't get my timing right" even with those decade long attacks from Safi xD

[@ian-parkercampbell8312]

I don’t have brute tigrex chest piece. What’s a good substitute?

[@10_Bit]

Now that frostfang only requires 1 armour piece to trigger punishing draw isn't it viable now or is it still a hard pass?

[@turfbree5770]

Bro, what’s it called? The slash after the foresight slash your doin?

[@eomsouls7460]

Hi Peppo, thank you for your advices. What makes me upset during my hunts is repositioning myself when the monster gets behind me while I'm in a combo mode. What I do is rolling twice to face the monster again. Do you have any better tips?

[@PeppoLS]

If the monster gets behind you while you are in a combo means you fucked up because the monster will attack you, right? So just don't get stuck with lots of attacks, but reduce the hits and focus more on where monster goes ;)

[@LordM4ver]

How do you deal with tall monsters like Glavenus? It's such a pain, if you want to deal any damage to the legs you gotta tenderize those, but if you want to make use of the trip you eventually get have to tenderize the head or tail too. I feel like I get better clear times on CB one some monsters than LS even though I literally have no idea what I'm doing on CB, constantly whiff SAED, miss all the guard points, and played it for maybe 2 hours out of 300. I mained LS for most of base world and did ok :/

[@PeppoLS]

I have an early run on Glavenus (4 months ago): kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4uqaIeBh5uma80 or acidic Glavenus too (3 months ago): kzbin.info/www/bejne/g32lY5KwZrCNjLs

Keep doint it, keep just comenting it like a zombi XD, it´s funny XD

[@octojesus7998]

Do you have any air control with the helmbreaker ? I'm not talking about the triangle attack but I can't figure out why sometime i end up super far away, and sometimes i just don't move at all, when is supposed to be the input if so ?

[@jaydubyapush]

OctoJesus someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’m fairly certain you have minimal air mobility but you can control the direction of your hunter’s jump by pressing on the analog stick before your hunter jumps off of the monster for the slash. I think it’s an analog control independent of the camera and dependent on what direction your hunter is facing instead, too.

[@HALsc2]

thx for the vid 😆

[@frsk6460]

how do i actually know what/when to parry? monster movement / attacks / patterns feels somewhat random sometimes. f.e. i know all of rathians moves but she uses them in a chain/manner which makes it hard to tell what she is going to do next. any idea how i can improve on reading that?

[@PeppoLS]

Monsters’ patterns are incredibly hard to read here on Iceborne. They are not random, but after an attack, monsters have the possibility to do different attacks so you have to be ready for those attacks. The ability is not learning the move set of the monster only, but be ready and adapt yourself to the situation which is developing after “that” attack. Hope you understood 🙏🏼
