1. That charge blade design is beautiful. 2. They made the sword big asf 3. This is amazing lmao

i think it's a regular size CB sword but the shield are the one that smaller compare to the usual CB shield (usually it's cover the entire hunter's back)

[@Zayindjejfj]

Would be cool if the DMC collab would give us a Red Queen charge blade. The animation of charging up the weapon would fit with red queen being revved up. For longsword the Yamato and all the slash effects have the blue whirlwind effects. For the axe blade they could use Devil Sword Dante. The axe going into blade mode would be Dante sword splitting open.

SAED really didn't need to be even harder to hit

[@mSierraEngineer]

I don't believe it was ever difficult in the first place. Once you have your shield charged, you could just be in axe mode, and simply unleash with no other combo route. Especially in World and Iceborne where it was super easy to spam.

​​@@mSierraEngineerBros a contrarian. It's a literal meme in the community that SAED is super hard to hit. Sure it's easy to spam, but if you just spam it then you're gonna be whiffing alot.

[@CassiusKent]

Missing SAED is a core part of Charge Blade gameplay.

[@TJ10611]

If the Longsword is allowed to roll cancel their Helm Splitter, CB should be allowed to roll cancel their SAED. AED + Follow Up + SAED is way too much of an animation commitment, only for you to whiff the SAED and burn all your phials?? Idk, it doesn't seem okay. I do like the charged phial state tho that only burns the phials on the SAED and not the other attack, but it still doesn't feel satisfying if you have all that build up only to lose you phials because you spent a whole year trying to reach the SAED and the monster left to go have a family before you reach SAED

[@landshark8794]

Completely agree. Just doesn’t make sense to eliminate the ability to throw a SAED from a neutral position.

[@Esotericspirits]

They ruined Charge Blade that's it

[@kyousey]

It looks like you can tho

[@johndelanie3649]

Whiffing SAED shouldn't feel satisfying? It's a whiff? That's like complaining the monster didn't sit still during your TCS wind-up with greatsword, the game isn't gonna hand you your big flashy move on a platter, learn the timings and spacings. Use an impact CB so you can stun the monster before you dump an SAED, use a trap or sleep element, use one of the environmental traps. There's so many tools you can use to lock a monster down but no, just complain that "Well I spent so long charging it up so it's not fair to whiff it!" Peak gen 5 player mindset.

[@Sucksahs123]

​@@johndelanie3649 I get what you mean but his point is that SAED was already hard to hit in previous games and everything you said applied to it, but now they made it even harder because you can't do it from neutral state anymore and it need an even longer animation than in previous games so they NERFED it. The guy in this video missed all of his SAEDs even when the monster was stunned because it was so fucking long. Meanwhile longsword's biggest move which is very easy and fast to land got an insane follow up which is impossible to miss and it got the ability to be canceled, not even consuming a gauge level.

[@TrickyJebus]

The thing that worries me about the AED Followup > SAED and now even the AED > SAED is that I will consume 1 phial before using it all in SAED. BUT IT Looks like the double charged phials seems like a power prolonger in a way that you DONT CONSUME phials which removes my worries!

[@SceraseeMorow]

True but the longer combo to SAED has me worried as no monster is gonna wait for the entire combo

[@StormRage1031]

From what little we see I can’t help but feel disappointed. The saed combo is so long and feels like it will be hard to get off even if the monster is down. 😭

[@TrickyJebus]

@@StormRage1031 they did say theres a GP to a SAED so hopefully we still have the same ways to access SAED without some long combo too.

[@SceraseeMorow]

@@TrickyJebus hopefully we will because this long ass combo is stressing me out

[@temphy]

@@TrickyJebus GP to SAED does work, however thats seemingly the only way you can access SAED from neutral. Otherwise, it seems like you HAVE to go thru AED to SAED or AED>Follow up>SAED.

[@JRFG]

That chainsaw right in between his legs was peak monster hunter gameplay 😂😂

[@lokishoi7382]

2:12 the phials are still yellow and ready to be charged right out of the SAED. My guess would be the crown thing is just a cap overflow that allow you recharge your phials instantly after using them.

[@audiojack5641]

if thats how it works then we can probably have a total of at least 13 phials in our weapon at any given time, 5 loaded, 5 in reserve, and 3 from the crown caps

[@AbyssalRai]

I think he just had a yellow charge amount of unstored phials at the same time. I don’t think the crowns act as an overflow. I do this all the time in World to do back to back SAED’s

[@lokishoi7382]

@@AbyssalRai Yeah, actually you're right. I forgot it already had an overflow.

[@currysama794]

The purpose of the overcharged phials is right there, it (at least to some extent) negates the phial cost of elemental discharge moves in axe mode! At 2:08 he uses a ED1, ED2 and AED, each of which normally eats a phial. Even though the new Power Axe mode reduces ED phial cost (see 4:18) they still use half a phial there. Remains to be seen how phial consumption works with overcharged phials but without power axe mode though.

[@imadeamistak4905]

@@AbyssalRaibut its crowned immediately after charging phials from what ive seen.

[@viktor_scheck]

I guess they will remove the mechanic that you need to make first an AED before you can make an SAED into Shield Thrust followed directly to SAED because the time window until you can finally use it is to long. Every monster is over all hills till the Animation is over. From all Videos i saw so far - no one really hit a Monster with the SAED properly and the really tried. But hey - i guess it was a try. With the release or an later patch it will sure be possible to use SAED directly without AED first (maybe just as an Option).

[@Tempestuu]

The SAED looks a lot more impressive than the weapon video demonstrated. I'm glad they went back to the kind of ground-pillar explosions, but toned down a bit so it's not too visually noisy. Loving all the tools CB seems to be getting, the AED followup (AED2?), the reduced phial usages in power axe mode, the new "overcapping" or whatever it is, the new shield charge, etc. Looks absolutely sick.

[@Nesdude42]

Yea I was like - THAT was the SAED? Looked pretty lame. But looks good here. Thankfully

[@aeonise]

@@Nesdude42 The impression I get is that SAED is going to be less important now since you can spam EDs and AEDs with Savage Axe and overcharging. I'm curious if the SAED while having both does substantially more damage than normal, but it seems like the push is to just keep swinging instead of going for the one big hit. It's gonna suck playing with anyone without impulse control, though; CB now _NEEDS_ to keep a wound available to re-up Savage Axe reliably, and playing with anyone who just takes every wound they see will crush CB's potential.

[@beefy5102]

[@vide0gameCaster]

I really love the detail of the HP bar and how it resembles an electrocardiogram. The 3D minimap, the entire quick access items menu, and the polished interface elements are all impressive. I appreciate how they continue to evolve the UI/UX without making drastic changes!

[@yue7507]

So while the usual way of activating savage axe (power axe mode) is now removed, the new ways of activating it are: - after a mount finisher - followup after a perfect block - followup after a clash - focus strike I also noticed for the focus strike that the power axe mode icon activates when the hunter pulls the cord (right after the double sword slash at the beginning of the strike). So this means that if you get interrupted at any point during the axe buzzsaw attack then power axe mode will still be activated. Also, if you can cancel out of your focus strike by rolling, then you can simply focus strike then roll right after the axe icon lights up - a quick way of activating power axe mode (need to confirm this). However, the full focus strike will activate only if you land the strike on a wound. If you miss the wound then the focus strike will only do the double slash and will stop before the hunter pulls the cord and activates power axe mode (this means that you can't just spam focus mode anytime to activate power axe mode)

[@temphy]

One thing about savage axe, they never hit extra damage ticks in this video here. They said they tried holding down the button and that didn't add extra ticks, but I saw a comment saying you now have to spam the button to get the extra ticks. If there are no extra damage ticks in general, then that's an even worse nerf to savage axe than in Risebreak where it goes away as soon as you sheathe your weapon/morph into sword mode.

[@yue7507]

​@@temphy Quoting the official infographic from Gamescom, Power axe mode "lessens phial use and allows you to deal multiple instances of damage by continuously pressing the button when attacking with the axe" If I understand it correctly, that's basically how Rise savage axe worked where you press and hold either the X or O buttons (depending on which axe attack you're doing) to deal multi hits. If you don't hold the buttons it will just do 1 hit With regards to the video i'm not sure why that happened but according to the official info from Gamescom you should be able to do multi hits

[@temphy]

@@yue7507 Yea, so I think it's been changed from the typical "hold down button while hitting" to "spam button while hitting", which is an interesting change to say the least. Don't really agree with it, but we'll have to see how it feels.

[@yue7507]

@@temphy Interesting change. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet but yeah need to play around with the weapon first

[@celestialspark5697]

@@temphy Ugh, really hope that's not the case. Devs should know by this point that rapid press is a really bad input to make your players have to use frequently, or ideally at all, for health and accessibility reasons. Regarding activating the mode, are all guard points considered perfect blocks (except maybe morph attack out of already holding guard)? Do perfect blocks always prevent knockback? I haven't been following every detail, but outside of the skill in Rise, there have always been monsters you just never want to guard because everything does large knockback and costs you 10 sharpness/doesn't allow followup.

[@yellowcard8100]

So Long Sword gets to roll out of Helm Breaker, and not have to waste a gauge, but Charge Blade has to do AED first before doing SAED extending the time commitment ... Yeah capcom thanks.

[@sobervision1049]

There's multiple ways to do it but the point of CB's Rework was distribute its power to other attacks. Knocking down monsters will be easier than ever and not losing phials while doing it will still let you SAED at full power. As a CB player, having more options to deal serious damage makes me happy.

[@temphy]

@@Hydraclone It's absolutely not the right way to do it, especially when CB's whole focus is having near infinite options in any scenario. It should not be up to the devs if SAED spam should be reduced or not, that decision should only be up to the player. The devs only job is making sure every aspect of the weapon is balanced enough to the point where SAED spam isn't basically the only viable option. My suspicion is they realized they couldn't do this, so they just nerfed SAED entirely to make you focus more on topples/KOs and GPs, but again that should not be up to the devs.

[@novastar96]

whats Shield: Elemental Boost? Also can you cancel SAED into an AED still by pulling back?

[@John_Wlliamson]

I am excited but concerned if you can only SAED directly after a guard point that will make it much more difficult to hit in normal combos. From sheild stab to AED to SAED is a SUPER LONG time commitment especially on faster monsters.

[@kivitelezo]

I can imagine only one case when it is not a direct SEADnerf. In case they made guard point easier to exequte then yeah... I guess it is not that bad change but if GP is still really hard, then we need to focus more on power axe wich means less choice for us. In general I'm not happy with this change but I guess we will see when the game released. Maybe I will be Hammer main again.

[@age8428]

It's also specially difficult in multiplayer when the monster is not always focused on you, so you can't guard point so often. I personally don't like savage axe, so I always play SAED style. That right there is a big nerf.

[@John_Wlliamson]

@kivitelezo @age8428 I have always preferred SAED spam as well. I've seen a lot of people say there are moves missing or acting strange so I'm hoping there is a "switch skill" type of thing happening if not SAED spam is truly dead it's already a long animation but adding 2 extra moves to it as will be rough. Supposedly focus mode helps aim moves better.

[@temphy]

@@kivitelezo Even if GP is easier to execute, it's still an SAED nerf. One thing with SAED is you often don't get the chance to hit it after a GP. One of your best option for hitting an SAED is to set up where you think the monster will turn/move and do sword>shield bash>SAED to try and read the monster and land an SAED before they have a chance to react. With SAED being only accessible from GP or after an AED, this is no longer possible. SAED being only accessible from AED or a GP literally only stands to nerf SAED and drive people away from SAED spamming. This decision should not be up to the devs. It should only be up to the player if they want to SAED spam or not.

[@SkyFire785]

Hey, just a question, and I am not sure if you noticed it while playing. But do you know or were you ever able to perform the new Shield Element boost and see if that is what allows you to go into an SAED from sword mode? I doubt they would remove the SAED from sword mode entirely, so maybe they made it accessible a different way.

I think the whole reason for the change is specifically shown in this video. I love you CB users but the build up for all that to see y'all whiff because the monster decided to aggro someone else or just take 3 steps to the right when you could've been squabbling with us this whole time is encouraging you to commit to bringing the monster down and then doing the full SAED when you actually CAN instead of it being the only thing you do.

Hey, even if you guys don't show a video on it, if you get any time with Insect Glaive, are you able to confirm whether chaining aerial attacks together has been removed? Saw on another video (FightinCowboy) that apparently helicopter doesn't launch you back up into the air anymore, so only one aerial attack per vault is possible. Praying that's not the case, as even if it was ineffective damage wise, sky-dancing was by far the coolest part of that weapon lol.

[@desmondbrown5508]

Looks like overcharging your phials makes it to where phial actions don't cost any phials, except SAED. This might also be on a timer or something, where if you don't spend on an SAED at some point, the overcharge goes away and you're back to zero phials? Just a guess.

[@qoo1234548]

I wonder what "Shield: Elemental Boost" is? It appears on the skill list top right when charging phials (holding O) and when shield thrust (R2+△+O) Maybe it has something to do with straight SAED from sword mode? or is it just a quick way to charge the shield?

[@temphy]

You're like one of the only people i've seen point this out and that's a really good point. Elemental Boost is when your shield turns red so I would assume we now have an option to do Charge Phials>Charge Shield right away without having to do Charge Phials>Sword Attack>Shield Thrust>SAED starter>Elemental Roundslash to boost shield.

CB being the only weapon I use since getting into this franchise. This sneak peek has me stoked!

[@keiryuujin]

So I noticed when the Phials got the crowns at 2:10 your simple Discharge didn't expend a phial. Maybe the crowns dont' expel unless you do an SAED? Because then they emptied. Or it might be part of this system of staching phial charges. Not sure, but dang I am excited. :3

[@shadowX50]

I am really interested in switch axe in this game but so far I havent seen much videos about it. I heard there are a couple of new combos and a cool "light saber" finisher

[@supersonic4863]

hecceth yes. charge blade is definitely gonna be my main weapon, with a secondary of insect glaive or gunlance, whichever is easier (unless significant fun difference) to build as a secondary for chargeblade. its looking absolutely stunning.

[@Psa22-6]

This is depressing, no saed spam, no chance theyd fix it either

[@DaynorBelmont]

we rlly need some gunlance gameplay out there, the devs so far havent picked it yet, rirukhan doesnt have a video on it yet, we need to see it!!

[@nerglia]

he did a livestream, so its in the livestream tab on his youtube channel. he both played around with gunlance and CB in it

[@Thedrewshow559]

I’m so pumped for charge blade

[@escadora2206]

man im legit searching for lance gameplay for my whole break at work and couldnt find nothing but cb and ls gameplay mannnn

[@joe121111]

I want to see some swaxe gameplay Also interested in how hunting horn feels in wild

[@konvay_vardogr]

Somehow I'm not surprised that Charge Blade had the longest weapon reveal videos and it still didn't show everything about the weapon 😂😂

[@frankconsidine5989]

SAED looks cool. But if he could not pull it off how is a normal player going to do it? Looks like it is futher down a combo string that was already long. With no short cut of YB or triangle plus circle!

[@SifGreyfang]

In loving how the mounting system looks. Goibg back to worlds mount system and addind a few new things

[@aner_bda]

It looks like when you extra charge the phials, it causes them to not be consumed when doing regular phials attacks with the axe, at least that looks like what was happening from the footage. Definitely want to see exactly what that does though.

[@stormtroopavk81]

Since the Hammer preview was so underwhelming I'd love to see that next. I need some hammer hype.

[@pirateking9677]

Can you still combo into the saed the old way as well ?

[@jarenjohnson435]

No, you have to combo into it by AED> combo to SAED I think all I know is they changed charge blade quite a bit so I might play a different weapon

[@satan7481]

Bro hasn't landed a dingle SAED😭

[@Michiho.]

please review Insect glaive next time, some people said thats the Jumping Advancing Slash cant bouce the player back to the air anymore even the last hits landed, thats the most bad news ive ever heard from mhwilds currently.

[@lastexile537]

you know.. I don't like how thunderstorm in the desert make all colors washed away. Everything immediately looks so bleak

[@LusciniaRose]

CB looks amazing as solid as always, will have to get used to the new AED combos though. I'd love to see Insect Glaive but I'm also interested seeing what you mentioned about Hunting Horn as it's the only weapon I've not used in the franchise

[@Kingdarius1994]

Charge blade user here they def took some moves from mh:rise if you haven’t played that one especially that move where they put the ace in the air and let it spin that’s a move from rise

[@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028]

That is some frontier ass weapon length, I love it.

[@eilumial1337]

I just hope they have more guard points in the animation flows

[@JoshuaMai1]

2:14 not a cb video without the SAED whiff.

[@Hexsyn]

I've always wanted the sword form to be more than just a cool down period between big axe moments... seems like I got my wish?

[@xinyangwang-c8k]

The katana can roll to cancel the dragon climbing, the slashing axe can have GP, and the hammer has super armor, but why does the shield axe have nothing? The so-called new actions are completely perfunctory, and even the super solution has been cut. While encouraging us to play the big solution and the chase solution style, the big solution damage and the big solution's impact resistance have also been cut. The axe form action derivative of a heavy weapon does not have any super armor and GP. I am afraid that the use rate of the wilderness shield axe will become the lowest.

[@Cromwell2903]

3:26 i noticed that the aed into new follow up combo only used half a phial each. I wonder if this new overcap just means more uses per phial. Im definitely going to have to workshop this if/when i get my hands on the game

[@NaruNerd100]

I hope the weather isn't guaranteed to always change. Seems like it would get really stale if it happens every hunt

[@RainD4]

So I'm guessing the SAED is now mostly for downed or super long opening because it needs to combo into it? I guess that's one way to reduce SAED spam.

[@temphy]

The thing is, it shouldn't be up to the devs if SAED spam should be reduced or not. It should only be up to the player if they want to SAED spam. The devs just need to balance the weapon correctly to where SAED spam isn't basically the only viable option. My suspicion is they realized that they really couldn't do this, so they just nerfed SAED entirely to drive people away from spamming it. If that's the case, that's one of the most predatory and lazy dev decisions ive seen in a while.

[@teethpastaa]

@@temphy they do that every game and its horrible. same thing happened in rise when they nerfed the weapon's mobility like with the triangle and circle gap closer and the fade slash to make you want to use wirebugs more. the monster hunter team isnt really good and making cb, it gets "redone" in some way literally every game since they have no idea wtf they are doing

[@jonasgrohs5997]

@@temphy how about you giving an actual example how to accomplish that instead of spamming your hate on the game devs under every comment in this section? SAED was always meant as the CB move with the highest commitment and the highest damage. the only way to balance SAED Spam with other CB Playstyles is to set the motion values of the SAED so low that the commitment isn´t worth it anymore, or to raise the MV´s of all the other moves to a level that the weapon would break the entire game balance. CB was always meant as a weapon that gives you a lot of versatility in exchange for its difficulty, and the video seems like they moved exactly in the right direction with their changes. they didn´t nerf the weapon in general, they just spread the power more even over the entire Kit.

[@justsomerandomguy76]

The new movesets looks f*ing sick!!

[@CherikoSol]

Did bro just do the wound finisher on his balls

[@pathfindersavant3988]

I'm unsure how I feel about talking palicos

[@cyco7229]

you can turn it off at least

[@helgenlane]

If my cat starts speaking human language, I'm feeding it to the first monster I find.

[@MossMothMyBeloved]

I'd be cool with it if I have the option to lower the voice and make it sound like a old gruff dude for laughs
