He shouted you out lol

I enjoyed how Gaijin Hunter steered it back without pointing out the misunderstanding. Quality dad move.

Idk that's maybe just the name he gives Duramboros

I like how after gajin fixed it Herny was like, “I get asked this a lot.” Yeah like twice in the last 30 seconds. 😅 man I love Herny.

[@ShayZelle96]

I paused the video at exactly 22 minutes to say this, I had a not bad day but utterly boring one. I've also been stressed completely cleaning my apartment because it got bad and have yet to kinda destress. I laughed out loud with tears and a smile at 'Daddy why are your eyes watering'. Rurikhan and Gaijin have a special kind of chemistry going on that just makes my day better by hearing it. And the guest is a treat too so far, although I don't know his content like others have been saying. But hey he praised smash or at least plays it so bonus points in my book. Thanks for making this guys, you truly have something special going on I'd say.

[@rurikhan]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

I subscribe to almost every major monster hunter channel and I've never seen one of Hernys videos on my feed and I just want to say the algorithm really dropped the ball. I'm definitely going to be dropping him a sub after discovering him on this pod.

[@ma_na_gurab]

His content are god tier tbh

[@JBoop]

I think it’s super interesting how across the board, a lot of Monster Hunter fans (myself included) say, “yeah my first MH game was this one and I hated it. Anyway I went on to get three more games.”

[@TheBlackShinigami]

MHTri made me put it down then pick it back up, then put it down, and I have played every game since then til MH:Iceborne cause I sold my pS4 and got the 5 right before rise was announced lol

[@maxspecs]

You feel that there’s a game there but your fingers aren’t pushing the right buttons.

[@hunterwolf6646]

Underwater combat: propulsion system. Do a quest with a segment grabbing Ludroth parts or something for the buoyancy, craft those devices that attach to the hunter's arms and legs, as well as your weapons, and there you go. No need for a swimming speed skill, no slowness under water. Also enable if you go fast enough, you just fly out of the water--stylish resurfacing to the land!

[@marcheharvey2301]

The main concern with underwater combat is how the devs gonna take advantage of the all around movements and make something new out of it.

[@yiangaruga4928]

Or some kind of Wiresquid :D

[@hunterwolf6646]

@@marcheharvey2301 Good point. What I put was mostly to think about how to remove the clunkiness of the pure movements in the water. You got a whole surrounding area and depth perception to mess with, and how to make something new out of it? Whereas 4U and Rise deal heavily in verticality, with water depth is a big thing I think.

[@trysthartzell7092]

Is this the perfect 3rd fleet podcast? Yes, yes it is

[@justsomejojo]

Velocidrome became one of my favorite designs thanks to Stories. It looks so good, that blue-red combo. Riding a Bulldrome is also awesome, so Stories upped that one in my book as well. The artstyle really sold some of the monsters REALLY well. Arzuros also was a big favorite of mine before, but seeing its fish-powered cross slash finisher really cemented it for me. It's so good. That bear was a mainstay for the whole game for me.

[@deinonychus1948]

1:19:32 Herny: "My cat has him (Magnamalo) tethered, with a wirebug" His Cat: "GET OVER HERE!!"

[@maximus7109]

I cannot believe they actually got Herny! That was the dream I never expected to come true. Looking forward to the next (almost) 3 hours of listening.

[@scottw4866]

I just love how wholesome the overall community is with regards to really great people that have been around for many years and still have passion and love for those jumping in or those that have been around for a while

[@Haede-]

the discussion about what they would want for monhun 6 and specifically the open world portion is quite fascinating. It would be amazing if you would actually traverse the monhun world going from village to village doing quests, seeing hunters on their hunts and all. It would be really cool to see how they would concretize their world map into a seamless experience. Almost makes me think of an mmo version of monhun, kinda expressing the original idea of monhun wanting to be very multiplayer focused in a sense.

[@tendermoisturized4199]

Man I LOVE Stories! When I played it I was blown away by how well it manages to translate MH's combat into turn-based. The way you have to know your monster, (and your monstie as well!), their patterns, weaknesses, quirks and gimmicks is just perfectly in-line with how we play the mainline titles. The monstie side of things is wonderful as well, it's like pokémon but way more in depth and fleshed out. Each monstie, even individuals from the same species feel like their own unique entity, that's why I think I have an easy time remembering my monsties' names as opposed to pokémon where I just call them pikachu and more often than not don't even bother to rename them.

[@flameohotman4320]

It's interesting that a lot of people seem to go through an "initial disgust" phase with Monster Hunter. I started with 3U and it was unlike anything I'd ever played, and thought it was the most sluggish, archaic game ever. I didn't play it for an entire year until I picked it up again out of boredom and something clicked.

[@dragonbournee5270]

I didn't, probably because Rise is my first, and that I like building armor and picking weapons, also I am a pokemon fan but no one asked so here I am.

[@zackmhuntr25]

I started with portable 3rd and never went with "initial disgust". Dual Blades playstyle just clicked immediately for me. I do remember having such a problem with Great Jaggi tho

[@robertoguevara2007]

Man, I am so glad and excited to see you guys together, Herny is one of my favorite MH youtubers and seeing the 3 of you together is amazing. My best wishes from Costa Rica, un abrazo :)

[@marcofromtropoje3169]

1:39:53 I don’t really agree with this, I’m kind of in the opposite camps as Gaijin here. I think that brachy is one of the only monsters that CAN keep up with hunters increased mobility. I think there are other monsters that suffer far more from the hunters being more mobile. I would hate to see brachy excluded because hunters move better. In my opinion, that’s kind of like saying we shouldn’t have had rathalos in Rise because we have more aerial movement with wirebugs so he’s not threatening in the air anymore.

[@benjamator6700]

Herny and Gaijins videos got me through GU and got me to learn so much so seeing them both talking about chill stuff for 3 hours is super exciting. Also I was in Herny's stream and lobby before he was in this podcast. I believe he had the party version of narwas theme in the hub.

[@SylemGistoe]

It's so cool to see Herny here! One of my absolute favorite hunting youtubers- and his stuff really helped me going back to GU. It's been years and people still post his exploding valor swaxe speed run vs zinogre around plenty.

[@jordanlane8699]

Rise is my first Monster Hunter and I absolutely love it. So glad I decided to dive into this series.

[@dianauwu1312]

Rurikhan's way of teaching monster hunter or souls is how I teach (and learn) fighting games. Just find a move or two, then find a quick combo. Simplifying everything down so you can actually play the game really helps

[@tonytrident8874]

OMG Arlo's video was so hilarious! Everyone go watch it when you get a chance!

[@johan9428]

Congratulation to Rurikhan to bring together all the MH pillars like Gaijin, Arekkz, Chris TDS and now Herny. I strongly disagree with him on quite a few sensitive points (I think Behemoth, Ancient Leshen and Safi'jiiva are utter shit and I think Fatalis armor and weapons were a great send-off for Iceborne), but I recognize he does a lot of work for MH. He was essentially filling the gap left by Gaijin when he decided to take a break during World-Iceborne. He is on par with Gaijin Hunter when it comes to covering MH, so I am glad that the two are joining forces and keep doing Podcasts.

[@ode-blu]

So glad they invited ace cadet to the reunion. Much love to you guys. What a chill and fun talk.

[@GeorgeK340]

When I heard so many people said "I hate Monster Hunter the first time I try but falls in love later on." I start to feels that I am a weirdo... I start playing Monster Hunter in Iceborne and my first impression was "This game is awesome but I don't like this longsword I should try something more." But as time passed now I return back to longsword again as my main weapon. I still love the game to this day if only I had NSW I would joined in Rise too.

[@shikkun7654]

[@mr.cobbweb1624]

The silkbind move that surprised me the most was the Guarding Dash switchskill for Lance because of how crazy strong it is at KOing monsters. It is better than Hammer at KOing in terms on how many times you need to hit for it to stun but in exchange it has even less range than the hammer.

[@scottw4866]

[@ryanlin4827]

My friend and I were joking about the niece thing the other day saying that she might be Lyla from Riders. I mean, the description fits Lyla's character setting. She's strong and she drinks a lot. Also, the collaboration between Rise and Riders proves that both games exist in the same world that the characters from both games can interact with each other. Anyway, we were having fun guessing who that niece can possibly be. lol

Loved havin Herny as the guest, even tho i'd never heard of him before! As for themes... i replaced the default ones for Steelworks and Hub with the Kokoto Village Theme, i like how chill and loop-y it is. As far as Fugen's niece is concerned, honestly, the first thing that came to mind when gaijin described her, was Erza Scarlet.

[@Inogat]

For sure!!

[@LugaruEvolutions]

I think my coolest switch skill discovery was the hammer counter. Not that I play a ton of hammer or am able to land that thing somewhat consistently but it's such a simple yet cool move that I wasn't expecting at all, that it really stuck with me

Man I was so fasicanted by ancient forest in the world betas and I learned the whole map and discovered all the little paths and all. Also I'm probably the only person who has ever done that but the description of the herkudromes you can catch says there are 7 of them in the ancient forest and I went out and searched for them and I've found them all. Took me a hot minute but it was so fun

Would you consider doing an episode with RageGaming? Could be very fun

[@johan9428]

27:17 I started two times with MHFU. In 2009, my brother pushed me to buy and play with him. He carried me all the way to G-rank (I was hiding in another zone while he was killing the monsters with his endgame equipment) and made for me the Yama armor and the azure Lao LS. But as a result, I was a total noob, I couldn't beat G-rank monsters on my own and even high rank monsters were kicking my ass. I quitted and sold the game. One year later, I bought MHFU a second time, decided to take my revenge. This time, I did the whole game solo and when I killed Ukanlos, I felt like I lifted a mountain. I went on playing MHFU for 1600 hours. Since then, I am a fan. I played MH3U, MH4U, MHW, MHWI. I always make a point of completing the games and crafting my equipment solo before going to MP to play with others (when that was possible, thanks paid PS+). It is by soloing my way through the games and the feeling of accomplishment when you beat the strongest monsters by yourself that made me love MH.

[@Hitoridoodles]

The biggest hurdle for them bringing back underwater combat is how they design the IG for it

[@benturtl9076]

I will remember my first Fatalis kill forever too. Updste released at 2 am for me bur I had to wait for my friend to finish work the next day. So I watched Ruris stream, the whole copying of the update and turned it off when he began to fight fatty. I did some more regular quests or whatever and went to bed. It was a pain to wait for him. But he eventually came online and we went in to fight him. Tried him for 6 hours with different strategies etc. He grew tired of him and went to bed. I was so eager to kill him. So I kept going solo. I tried and tried getting better with each hunt. I would alwass survive a little longer and saw more openings. And after 16 hours non stop failing well over 50 attempts I finally managed to beat him. I was shaking like crazy the whole hunt it was so surreal. I cleared the quest 4 more times after that and went to bed. This probably will be my best mh experience ever. I encourage everyone to do him solo for the very first time. Because this is an experience you don't want to miss. My friend never did that and let him get carried through. I see so many plqyers asking for a carry and it's a shame. Everybody can do it if the make an actual effort to learning him. And if your gear is not good enough because he unlocks at MR 25 go farm better gear to achieve this goal but ultimatly it's your skill aw a hunter

[@prequelsgoat132]

Yes Herny! I knew it as soon as I saw the guitar

[@epochestrella1]

Herny's "like" counter is over 9,000! Lol. Keep it up guys. Love the podcast.

[@SurLeif]

Even though I’m not a fan of Rise I enjoy the podcast a lot. It’s just enjoyable to listen to you have fun with the game and the series in general. Herny is also so damn likeable so this episode just got even better.

[@USZDF]

God I would love underwater combat to come back. If they could make it as fluid and fun as on land combat imagine the possibilities for monster design where the monster is restricted to only the water, the aquatic monster designs would be so cool, and we could get Lagi in full glory again.

[@rowellbeast]

So I didn't hate my first monster hunter experience as it was just a demo and I was too young to buy the game myself and liked the music and monsters. But didn't really understand the game I was probably 12 or 13. It was monster hunter freedom unite demo back in 2008 or 2009. Then world was announced roughly a decade later. I knew I needed to buy it and get into it. It was a game I always wanted to play. World was actually one of my most immerive time sunk game experiences I've ever had.

[@brianhoff4991]

KZbin has frustrated me so much lately, there was a Herny video I had watched a long time ago. A Hellblade Glavenus hunt. I've been searching for it because I liked the music Herny used. I've scoured KZbin and cannot find it anymore. I would also like to say Josh from Ragegamingvideos needs to be a guest. We need to hear the banter between the 2 most alpha weapon personalities. "Gunlance is beat weapon, fact." "No greatsword is best weapon, fact." I love all the guests and all the episodes when it's just the two of you. It's the highlight of my week.

[@AustinMmmmmm]

Monster hunter tri ceadus theme is my favorite vocal theme in monster hunter

[@xHideousFoxx]

I'm really hoping they have "open world" where you go out into an area like our current maps, you can teleport between camps in that map, but to go to a dif. map or back to a village you have to travel to that zone manually like you did in old games when you'd travel through zones and go through a loading screen. it'd be awesome to chase monsters across different maps and environments. it'd also be awesome to have inventory Tetris for monster parts

[@Robodob0]

Not a speedrunner, but i try to get sub 4 or sub 5 on each monster, and i gotta say, the only real reason i use a palico is if my build is really lacking in Affinity, like only 0 base affinity with weakness exploit. So in that case i use a Rousing Roar Palico. But other than that, Palamutes win this IMO. They attack when the hunter does, so when the hunter does well, they do well and proc sleep or paralyze effectively, especially when they have the umbrella on for that multi-hit status proc. Im at a point where i think Palamutes are superior in terms of just going all out offensive.

1:17:03 Cyrax is who Gaijin was thinking of

[@prawn1717]

HERNYYYYY finally!

[@erodaven]

Finally! Best guest ever, Herny

[@Inogat]

What about a physics based grappling hook mechanic? Like it actually grabs onto something and you can swing it precisely, a lot like in the attack on titan webgame by Fenglee. A lot more refined obviously and you'd get some cool swinging attacks, that would be so very cool. And you could still use it to mount the monsters like in Rise cause that's an amazing mechanic. That's what I would do if I was in charge of the game. But it's very challenging I realize that.

[@jakeralley9490]

fantastic episode!

[@R3LOADlikesgames]

1:15:27 Palico is my most used. His name is Typhoon He is a fighting palico and I love his abilities. / My Palimute is Ember, he is a great dog that uses the Umbrella and Bone Jaw. 2:35:20 Astalos, Zamtrios, Dalamadur, Nercylla, Atahl-Ka, Seltas Queen / Seltas

Herny - this is MY podcast now

[@Theron37]

Recently got back into MH3U forgot that when monsters fly away to another area, they might throw a curve ball and head to another area instead. Like sometimes Qurupeco would head from area 7 in the Deserted Islands to area 5, but then head straight up to 9 or 10.
