【MHW:IB】Let's talk about LS! (Iai Spirit Slash) | PART 3

[@blindwhy]

Cons: it’s bugged. Welp, thanks capcom.

[@banaatti]

I really appreciate these LS lets talk videos

[@StygianKarma]

Great video peppo ! One thing about the park break mod on ISS: The part mod is 1.5 without any special conditions and if used as counter, gains a 1.3 multiplier. So 1.5 × 1.3 = 1.95 part mod on successful counter

[@PeppoLS]

Oh thanks for the info!

[@mattpweston]

@@PeppoLS Hey Peppo, please do a video talking about all of the fixes you think long sword should have. Besides fixing the bugs in helm breaker and iai spirit slash, I think iai spirit slash should only receive partial (red) damage when successfully timing it. Makes no sense to get punished for well-timed inputs.

[@Adam-bc1un]

Does this modifier affected by Partbreaker skill?

[@Ephemeraltrip]

@@Adam-bc1un This, been trying to find info for a while

[@Jakman01]

Thanks for going in depth about the conditions on the bugs and also giving out the tips. Excellent work!

[@dionqairawan6599]

Thank you for addressing the bug and informing that's even worse on PC lol as if we need more rng after the helm breaker issue

[@beaprofikation]

The last tip you gave was actually a huge one for me. i got interested in improving my LS skills after i saw your speedruns and combined with this series you offer us a great collection to learn form! Thank you Peppo :)

[@zimablue3166]

I play LS main since MH3 (and I assume, I'm above average), but I'm always learning new stuff by whatching your videos. Thank you for putting out the good content and have a nice day :) greetings from Germany

[@pixelpaul7614]

LS main since MHFU :D

[@d3acon007]

I think words and explanations can be just as helpful as watching a speedrun. I've watched lots of speedruns, but videos like this help me understand your motion value choices better. In fact this serious taught me about mv, which I didn't learn from watching 100 speedruns. Appreciate this series a lot friend :)

[@minun946]

I'm so glad you're posting these type of videos. It's so cool to learn from the best LS user.

[@Ephemeraltrip]

Very good video Peppo, I always look forward to these in depth LS videos just to refresh my memory on mechanics/multipliers etc. 10/10 mate.

[@rosewaters2533]

These 3 videos are really helpful! I don’t know what else you can add to make them even better though. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

[@RealDad0418]

You are a true longsword main. Love watching your videos. Keep it going! I love longsword. No matter what weapon I learn or play with for awhile I'll always come back to longsword. :)

[@InfinitySpiritD]

4:42 "Why are we here? Just to suffer?" lmao That Phantom Pain reference, though. The only thing I wish you would have gone more into detail about is the timing. Every time I pull this move off, I always consider myself lucky, and I wish I could have a little more control over that luck. lol Other than that, though, I learned more from this video than I did from dozens of others. lol Great job.

[@marcoleung311-v7j]

The timing is the same as a roll

[@cyrilbaricuatro621]

Thank you so much Peppo, My LS hunts greatly improved with the help of your Teachings....Love the Video, I hope you continue doing more of this kind of Videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

grande peppo, miniserie eccezionale! i am an IG main but will look into LS pretty soon. thanks!

[@jekkareznikov9769]

Awesome video mate. Looking forward to more of these. Understandably the majority of players are not speedrunners but it's awesome how you break down what is important to keep track of in a hunt (Positioning and cons of moves etc...) Keep this up please, looking forward to your next guide/move breakdown

[@Kegaran]

I jsut got back into LS, I always hopped back into it since I started in Tri and it was my main weapon. My friends did complain about it so much I swapped, but still drawn to it all the time. So thank you very much for the videos! They really helped me wrapped my head around the new mechanics and everything!

[@孙染墨]

one speedrun is better than a thousand words of explanation. how do I tell you how much I love you. Great job man!

[@christianlee7166]

This is very detailed I love it. Really love your advice. I watched your videos to play LS better but I guess you wont know everything by just watching.

[@NF-nv3xw]

Man your LS guides are great. Since i bought the game last month ive been playing non-stop. SA, GS and LS are my favs by far, but despite wanting to learn more about LS i always fuck it up in the middle of the road. Last days been hard, Brachydios and BV Vaal Hazak are kicking my butt. At least now i know if i use Iai Spirit Slash sucessfully i wont waste a meter. After seeing so many LS speedruns ive been trying to figure out why they dont lose meter when using it.

[@yangkhant959]

Goddamn the reason why I love LS is also watching your speedrun!!

[@Yusio]

Ooh, I learned a lot from this vid! had no idea about the extra part break stuff, so it was interesting! the delay after the roundhouse slash was interesting too! I've been using the ISS more in my runs, and without realizing, I've encountered that same but :< I was so confused because I was so sure I did it right since I still had red gauge, but I still got thrown back! I just thought that I messed up my timing...! Thanks again for all the hard work you put into making your videos!

[@yami_the_witch]

ah yes, in my head when i first saw iai spirit slash "oh hey, cool, an alternative to helmbreaker, it doesn't deal as much damage but it seems solid" a few minutes into the video "so... iai slash is bugged" ..... what is this curse with halfbaked LS finishers

[@irondynasty1317]

[@MaXedOUT2.0]

This is extremely informative@peppo,thank you for this. Long swords are just fascinating weapons ,the countering moves and attack animations makes it so fun to use. Great swords are another Amazing weapon to use, tho they are the one risky weapons in the game to use in my opinion.

[@The7MODY97]

i appreciate you talking in english even though it's not your native language, i'm from saudi arabia so having you talk in english rather than your native language really helps so thanks .

I'd love a part 4 Peppo, good stuff. Even if you feel you've covered all of the mechanics, maybe a video on the way you think in a hunt or something?

[@Malakith]

I knew something was wrong. I thought I just didn't understand the timing or something since I kept being hit even though I hear the bell sound. Glad to know it's not me. It was frustrating the hell out of me.

[@Raigonewe]

Same here

[@fonfabre29]

Thank you for the insight and material to learn sir ! But i have not yet seen the explanation about regular iai-slash. I'm not sure, but i think it's generally more difficult to use IS than ISS (to counter).

[@PeppoLS]

I have the same feeling that IS is more difficult to time than ISS but the data we have atm don't say anything about I-frames of IS and ISS, so they should have the same amount of I-frames as a roll.

[@Malakith]

I'm pretty sure it has the same i-frames as the ISS. But its either not at the start of the animation or it's bugged like the ISS.

[@valcal2086]

hope youre doing well over there in italy! keep up the good work!

[@reecedactyl]

How i look in my head/ wish i looked: Peppo. How i really look, ISS wrong timings, derp into monsters attacks, get a spirit thrust off when monster down they get back up and juke, go to helmbreak, get headbut or hip flicked, or monster just runs off

[@Pk56Mx]

This was really helpful, I thought that ISS bug happened only to me I felt a bit better , after watching this I feel like practicing a bit more, watching your speedruns in general is making me understand longsword more and actually play better so thank you

[@dade97asd96]

Despite the debate of few days ago I completely agree on watching speed runners to improve a lot with any weapon in the game. It really does help when it comes to little things that you never think of and helps you to learn monsters even better. Ottimo video come i precedenti, semplice e chiaro dritto al sodo. Quanto al dibattito che ce stato qualche giorno fa capisco la tua posizione ma allo stesso tempo ti consiglio di cercare di lasciare perdere con più leggerezza tutte le cazzate che scrivono sui casul. I giocatori che hanno intenzione di migliorare seriamente non perdono tempo a giustificarsi dietro una categoria, fanno pratica ed imparano dai più bravi. Non ci si può fare più di tanto, finisci per attirarti addosso più odio che altro. Piano piano la gente si accorgerà di quanto è profondo questo gioco e delle soddisfazioni che può dare anche dopo 1000h ma, purtroppo, la maggior parte dei giocatori non saranno comunque interessati a diventare veramente bravi. Per il resto continua sulla tua strada, è un peccato vedere un giocatore del tuo livello dover stare a discutere per queste cose, ogni tuo video sembra arte per le capacità che hai, non ti sprecare.

[@SpikeShadowhunter]

Let's go peppo :D

[@dtlnor]

one thing more, there is a additional 1.3x part modifier of timed ISS, that means total 1.95x part modifier if you successfully use ISS in the correct timing.

[@dtlnor]

in addition, attacks that cannot defense without guard up, hyper armor also couldn’t neglect it. like the ps4 part with ruiner’s spikes attack, you ‘land’ on the floor, not just blow out by the attack. the only reason sometimes you succeeded is because before your ISS’s ended, you move out from the range of spikes attack. you should perfectly use ISS that the very short should cover the whole range and time of that indefensible attack, to not get smashed on the floor.

[@dtlnor]

for pc ISS bug…… someone report to me that the high fps MAY cause this bug. He get lower chance to have this bug after he limited his fps to 60

totally love the last tip tho! xD

[@phichitschliep7727]

Thank you so much for the info

[@wetnoodlex]

"one speed run is better than a thousand words of explanation" you're just being humble :P Roll-dodging has always been difficult for me, and the information you put out about the Iai slash having the same amount of i-frames was definitely helpful. At least now I won't be going into Iceborne thinking it'll be as easy as foresight slash.

[@Ridgan.]

Great video ! But i keep laughing at "Mushroom Value".

[@SairoKun]

The iai slash is not bugged, the problem is spacing the same thing goes for foresight slash. The invincibility frames last a very very short time so if you are too close to the bomb exploding or too far away you will be caught in the hitbox even when performed perfectly. I've tested this and can do a perfect iai slash parry a sword poke distance away but any closer and it gets sketchy. The window of invincibility seems to be more generous on foresight slash, than iai spirit slash. so you have to not only practice timing, but spacing as well. If you can consistantly pull off a perfect iai slash parry you are an LS God.

[@alexisnicolelucban732]

Hi grand master peppo, Ive been playing for 1 month now, Ive used LONG SWORD ONLY, MR 498, 1400 Long sword uses Thanks for ur vids i hardly take any carts from nergigante anymore, And do a lot of foresight from any monster, and 9/10 foresight from nergi tempered, But i barely use iai slash, i hope before i reach 999 999 i can finally use iai slash as ive used foresight, Thank you soo much,

[@ElGatoMatador]

One bit of info thats usually useless is that you can turn yourself around using a slinger shot mid spirit slash combo. If youre positioning well its not that useful but if the monster turns then it could be useful.

[@ShinyKelp]

And now in Rise, we'll _gain_ a spirit level if we perform this successfully! I imagine that they're probably gonna nerf the Foresight Slash somehow to compensate (and let's be real, it's pretty broken as it is now)

[@franck8731]

How many i-frame do you have on the Iai Slash ? Because it seems way way more easier for me to perform the an Iai Spirit Slash than an Iai Slash (with invicibility ofc). Great video btw !

great video keep it up

[@daemon985]

in the clip with mr orangutan himself, u said u can only cancel with helm breaker (or the start up), and if u dont have an opening then what do u do? i think for that specific scenario u would have enough time to do the start up helm splitter to the side (perpendicular) and then roll out to cancel if he attacked again (also perpendicular). i use it to dodge sometimes when ive really fucked up xD but never during iss since i only use it regularly against monsters im really comfortable against but will defs try like that so thanks for the idea.

[@Kiloeloe24]

wow thanks man i didnt even know that its bugged

[@andreasecchieroli4945]

As always good content! The biggest problem i have with LS are the basic combos and the openers of them : there is/are basic combos to level hp the gauge before using the spirit sword? or you just tend to react to the monster’s movements?

[@anheiru]

Theres some combos meant to get you gauge as soon as possible. Personally, I open with triangle, circle, and then triangle+circle for the fade slash to reposition. If I do it on a monsters and land all three hits, chances are I'll have build up enough spirit gauge to do a full spirit slash combo.

[@anheiru]

So itll be an overhead slash, stab, then fadeslash to the side straight into spirit blade combo. :)

[@andreasecchieroli4945]

peaches mcpeach ty for the advices! I always did the double triangle (i think is that i’m on pc ) then the fadeslash and worked fine but i was wondering if there are combos faster than that , and i’m sure that the stab comes out way faster than the second overhead slash.

[@anheiru]

@@andreasecchieroli4945 exactly, it does. Plus, its so quick you can follow the stab with an upwards vertical slash (triangle), very quick attack. Thats one of the infinite combos for LS, too. Triangle, circle, triangle, circle, etc

[@Leo-ry6zh]

Does the focus skill effect (speeds up fill rate of spirit gauge) ever have a part to play in speed runs? I feel like it could be useful, or it could be like quick sheath.... Would be interested in hearing your opinion :)

[@Brillsuo]

I've always thought the ISS s were similar to Valor longsword's guardpoint. But ISS feels tighter sometimes for some reason :/

does the window skill and evade mantle effect both iaislashes s?

[@pakperds]

lai spirit slash with a thunder element long sword = thunder breathing first form.

[@chrisdoug1331]

For me it seems like the reason for the bug might be the direction your characters hitbox touches the incoming attack. if its from the front all is good but from top down or below u it seems to bug. Im really not sure though.
