Odogoron was my "welcome to Monster Hunter World" fight. It an adrenaline rush fighting him with dual blades.

[@RasenShot]

I felt that too. I was using Charge Blade, blocking and dodging his shit with the banger that is Rotten Vale's fight theme on the background... Still one of my favorite moments from ALL the game.

[@BlackM0ngoose]

It's always a rush to fight Odo. Love that meat pup. When I first fought him with Insect Glaive, I had so many cool moments where I jumped over his lunges.

[@droideka1890]

as a LBG player, that one was TOUGH, it just got up in my face with very little to do for me! Never switched tho, biggest feeling of "I DID IT" I've ever felt in my life coming from a videogame

[@Kyle-jz7io]

RasenShot I love charge blade but anytime you fight something fast (raged odogardon, tigrex, etc) it really gets your blood pumping

[@noahcarver6133]

I like hearing the new players takes on returning monsters. They’ve never faced them before and they can point out flaws that I wouldn’t recognize.

[@Modwer]

I think the fact that early/mid game monsters becoming endgame monsters plays a factor into it. Like by the time you meet tigrex in MHW:I you've fought new world ending elders multiple times and even trex like dinosaurs more than a few times. Whereas in something like MHFU you've been fighting dromes and collecting plants when you bump into this trex dragon with the loudest roar you have heard and iirc the biggest most menacing monster you have seen up until then.

[@boitaho]

World changed old world monsters that it fits the new world style so, personally, some aren't really obvious. But playing through 4U and GU, most 1st and 2nd gen monsters are just a slog that you need to really specifically build just so you can enjoy them hunting.

you can do the same to Radobaan and Zinogre

[@Arcademan09]

@@tristan62099 I know zinogre you can use the net

[@TaigaGaoo]

The main reason barely anyone knows that is because there's really no point in doing so. Don't get me wrong, it is cool that you can do it. But what makes it useless is that by the time you walk to his back and start mining, he's already getting up. It's the same thing with Zinogre. You need to catch the bugs on his back, but unless he falls down with his back right in front of you, you are bound to waste time getting into position. Back when I was farming his materials I remember getting really triggered about those bugs because most of the time I wouldn't make it to his back in time to catch them. So it basically becomes an issue of "Do I waste time and dps trying to mine/catch while he's down? Or do I unleash my full combo and kill him faster and, basically, get more and better mats?"

[@GameAlicornLuna]

it does suck that it lost invader status. But the fight itself is so much better imo. The way it just fills up the screen with explosions is absolutely nuts.

I like seething more, but in addition to the loss of invader status it also stinks that we lose base bazel in master rank. Variants are supposed to be rare, yet they did this with savage deviljho too. They appear to commonly and they lose that special feeling they should have.

That's why GS or Hammer is the easiest weapon for kirin even though it sounds so polarizing, "Crazy fast monster with slow heavy hitting weapon?" Well since kirin health is not that big, hitting it once or twice with big damage then disengage is far safer than small chip damage but you must hit it frequently. You don't even need to be good GS or Hammer user, just make crit draw build and you're set heck even normal build is enough as long you're not greedy with your hit

Also glad to see Mama Taroth and Ishvalda get some appreciation, both are really up there as some of the best fights and moments in the game. The phase transition for Ishvalda is just...fwoof. The way the music kicks in with the roar is so goddamn cool. And Fatalis obviously is the absolute apex monster of the game. Few things have made my heart pound more than that fight.

[@usamimi-no-majo]

@@DragonGunzDorian Oh, I forgot there was a difference between those terms. Not entirely sure what the difference exactly is, though.

[@DragonGunzDorian]

@@usamimi-no-majo brief overview of different terms we've seen in the main series. (There are a ton more in frontier for instance) Subspecies are basically entirely separate branch of the species that are their own separate thing that evolved down a different path due to environmental factors. Name wise a lot of them have a color in their name. Crimson qurupeco, green nargacuga, pink rathian etc. Though of course there are exceptions like brute tigrex, tigerstripe zamtrios, and coral pukei pukei who's names aren't directly named after a singular color. Variants on the other hand are not a separate species, they are members of the same species that take on new levels of power after going through specieific events. For example raging brachydios starts out as a normal brachy and then later acquires a symbiotic relationship with Flashpoint slime to become a raging brachy. With furious rajang its long been thought that rajangs who have had their tails cut off have the loss of their tails effect the nerves in their heart causing a transformation into a furious rajang. Name wise you'll notice most variants have an adjective added to their names. Savage deviljho, shrieking legiana, seething bazelgeuse. The one exception I can think of is blackveil vaal hazak who is a variant. Back in generations ultimate we had deviants which like variants were monsters of the normal base species that went through a transformation into a new powerful form. Except deviants get this transformation rarely through surviving fights with hunters and other monsters. These monsters are experienced in combat and their repeated combat experience combined with obtained injuries sometimes cause the transformation into a deviant where they obtain new higher levels of power. Name wise their names are generally titles to denote that they are special as individuals. Thunderlord zinogre, soul seer mizutsune, silverwind nargacuga. Additionally as far as I know we unfortunately have no deviants elder dragons which would be awesome. Next we have rare species, which for all intensive purposes are the same as subspecies except much more rare and significantly more powerful. Rare species include gold rathian, silver rathalos, molten tigrex, lucent nargacuga, abyssal lagiacrus, etc. This clear things up? Honorable mention from frontier I would absolutely love to see in the main series one day are origin species. Origin species are a branch of a species of monster that much more closely resemble that species ancestors. Basically its like going back in time to see what this monster looked like before it evolved into what it did. My favorite of the 4 origin species frontier had was voljang, the origin species of rajang. My second favorite is yama kurai, the origin species of yama tsukami.

So, when I faced Shara Ishvalda for the first time I already knew that it was covered in rocks and it wasn't that is true form because MHFO did it firt in 2012 with Taikun Zamuza.

Well, not like you had any reason to use elements before him. It was mathematically inferior because capcom refuses to try out some higher variance in elemental motion values. Plus, you could obviously run fortify and still use a raw weapon if you wanted to. Or if you didn't have an elemental weapon and still wanted to do the monster just by learning the moveset. Just have to deal with practically unavoidable deaths that way, which people are oddly okay with.

It's interesting to see how someone who started with World view some of this monsters compared to a veteran. Like, a lot of these (specially the new ones that debuted in World) I'd rate a lot different. For example I don't like Nergi a lot. I think the fight is REALLY fun, but his design doesn't appeal to me. I do agree that he feels really threatening. Also Stygian was done dirty for being in the same update as Safi recon. When Stygian was introduced to the franchise in 3 Ultimate, it was just the better Zinogre. Back then Zinogre was considered super easy for having way too many openings, so Stygian basically came and worked out these weaknesses and made him look cooler. His weapons were also a lot better back then... Kinda the best weapons in 3U besides the Brachydios ones (cause slime/blast was broken back then). In the end, I don't like MANY of the new monsters (specially the ones in vanilla world) because they meld together for being kinda too simple when back in the 3rd and 4th generations even early game monsters had more of a crazy flare to them. And it kinda looks like Rise is picking up the slack, and that's one of the reasons I'm hyped for it.

[@firetools]

Agreed, I like seeing a newcomer perspective like Max's on the older monsters, and it's true that I don't see some of World's original monsters as impressive compared to what came before. Rise however looks like it's going to have some really cool new monsters, and I can't wait to see how they compare to World once the full game comes out.

Plus it looks like it's kinda wearing an exo-skeleton with all the bones. 8/10 -Vaal Hazak: Holy shit! That thing creeped me out but it was so incredible in design plus the armour makes you look like a Nazgul from LOTR! 9/10 -Zinogre/Stygian Zinogre: my personal fav monster to fight. A Thunder Wolf Wyvern with one of the most badass themes in the series, 11/10 for me. My least fav monsters: -all piscine monsters: they can literally just go do one. Uninteresting and so annoying to fight. (Even tho Plesioth isn't in the game, thank fuck, just fighting that thing in previous games makes me wanna rage. Screw hip checks.) 1/10 -Rajang: in one way i like the fact that it's a challenging monster to fight and such but personally even with the best armour in the game with maxed defence and chugging down all the Mega Armourskins to survive blows from this thing, it's still gonna do like 70%/80% of your health. Screw you angry monkey. 1/10 -Zorah Magdaros: honestly the size of that thing at first sold me but then when i eventually got the chance to "fight" it, wholly underwhelming and the armour in terms of design just sucks. Also trying to fight this thing solo is so hard cuz you gotta manage all the cannons whilst the NPC's that load them just stand there twiddling their thumbs instead of blasting this walking volcano into smithereens. Boring, slow, uninteresting and just a snooze fest. 0/10 sorry this is a little long but just had to put it out there :p

22:43 Brachydios isn't from the PSP era, not at all, it debuted as the flagship monster of MH3 Ultimate which was made for the 3DS and Wii U by the A-Team, and said game came out after the last MH game for the PSP, MH Portable 3rd, which was made by the B-Team which it didn't even came out in the west officially. Also, Brachydios and Glavenus aren't from the same game at all, not even in the same generation of the MH franchise, and their games were NOT even made by the same dev team. Brachydios was created in the 3RD generation by the A-Team which are also the devs of MHW and Iceborne, while Glavenus was created in the 4TH generation by the B-Team which are the devs of MHRise. 31:10 In fact, Yian Garuga was the first monster created by the B-Team, it was introduced in MH Freedom (technically it was Scarred Yian Garuga but I'm not going to go into details) and is one of the FAVORITE monsters of the DIRECTOR of all the games made by the B-Team, Yasunori Ichinose.

There will be another, be patient. This type of franchise needs to be crafted to a capital T. World and Iceborne are the foundation, not telling what crazy shit will come from it.

[@Xenonfuji]

@@CrimsonHero81 foundation? Not at all the foundation, since the series was around for a very long time before world

[@morganroberts6199]

Odagaron has one of the sexiest female armor sets

[@thedrunkzaku]

Can someone tell me that opening song??? Or is it his own?

[@Conflict-ff5pi]

Do a ranking for DMC next please. The bosses, the enemies, the weapons. Anything could work. Just love to hear you talk about the series

[@aubrybuchanan8520]

While Glavenus is objectively one of the coolest monsters in the series, his fight in World is so trash imo. Loved him in GU but they made some questionable changes that make him just a tedious annoying fight in this game.

[@Slayer99924]

Me: looks at video length. OH YEAH I am SO READY FOR THIS!

[@Klnkykoala]

people in comments need to learn the difference between piscine wyverns and leviathans. Lagiacrus for example has a way different anatomic structure than piscine wyverns like lavasioth, which is in no way related to agnaktor

[@SentaiYamaneko]

I really want to see him find out about Hellblade Glavenus.

[@The_Arisen]

B-but, yian garuga is actually my favourite. Especially scarred... Furious Rajang takes second. (not counting raids)

[@Phantom_Kraken]

My dad used to joke saying that hitting monsters repeatedly is pretty fucked after 7:12 I think i see his point😅

[@travis8106]

Monster hunter World: 10/10 favorite game Me describing most monsters: "Eh, 5 at best."

[@yamatotsu]

"Its a horse with a horn...and it pisses me off." Idk why that made me laugh so hard, lmao

[@Heavygaming-l6g]

when I do the quest "mans best friend" I grab all the traps I can carry then I grab the traps in the supply box then even before he can roar I place a trap and paralyze him then I give it all I got then later in the fight I set the supply box trap and attack him with all my might again odogaron is such an easy fight with traps

[@DragonSoul621]

I love tzi tzi because during all of MHW he is the most powerful monster since he could make your pc crash to desktop with his flash attack on early build of the game.

[@janmarcoperezbatres2203]

Wish he could react to Valstrax, but sadly he will have to wait and lets hope he is added to Rise.

[@firetools]

Leaks from the Capcom data hack have confirmed that Valstrax will most likely be in Rise.

[@derrickhaggard]

@@firetools I'm hyped. Now here's hoping my girl Misutzune returns for Rise as she's my most favorite member of the Fated 4 in every aspect reveal, look, fight, and gear.

[@oceanwavedvd]

You know you've been watching max for a while when even through you haven't seen all his fights with the monsters but you know what he is going to rate them anyway

[@grandmagertrude7676]

Honestly I did really like baotodus. Which is surprising because jyuratodos and lavasioth are two of my least favorite monsters

[@shotsfiredandmissed9068]

I guess hunters who never played MHFU will never know how hard it was to fight Tigrex and Nargacuga back in the day

[@azoozxumcahah7535]

Yes but they will be killed from fatty

[@jeanbecker6641]

i cant disagree more (exept dodo and bazelgeuse) ...thats why i subed

[@zackfake1253]

I feel like alot of the anger towards alatreon's damage check came entirely from the fact that it was elemental in a game where not every weapon class can function well with elemental builds, especially for hammers and hbg (who were likely the cause of the check due to how rampant sticky hbg was at the time), and because of that alatreon was the first fight where it felt like you were being told you HAVE to use THIS weapon and you HAVE to use THESE perks otherwise you will NOT be able to progress anymore, and its very jarring to have something like that in a game as open ended as MHW that generally ways lets you play how you want

[@alenezi989a3]

Actually the elemental damage you do to Alatreon is different for each weapon, so even though usually DB do better elemental damage however specifically for Alatreon GS does way more elemental damage than DB because it's slower so it makes up for it, I beat Alatreon with CB first time, but after I figured out how elemental damage works in this fight I always fight him with either a Hammer or GS and it's alot easier to get the dps check with these weapons.

[@MayHugger]

Exactly my thoughts. After having beaten him and gotten his armour and weapons, it’s an aesthetically cool fight, but even so I hate being told that I have to do something a very specific way or else I’m not allowed to have fun.

[@jfb173jb]

You're not really a big fan of subspecies are you? You gave a lot of low ranks to those monsters.
