This is the most based Podcast ever made, I'm really vibing with it. Thanks for having us on guys!

[@riemaennchen]

Looking forward to the MH1 Playthrough. Can't wait to see how much stuff I have forgotten about that game. The only things I do remember from the top of my head is that Basarios and Plesioth made me quit that game. Poor little teenage me was to impatient for those two back then.^^

[@blazedgamingkr1438]

Thanks for being on the podcast. Having all my favorite hunters in one video is like early Christmas.

It kind of upsad me that if someone deserve to be highlight it in monster hunter community has to be you, a mean beside Gaijin hunter, although when Gaijin joined MH I was already a Solo hunter, not a legend but a Fable. Best regards!!

@@cookiemonsta3350 as it has been mentioned many times before there is a list of people we want to have on but we are on diff time zones and do this as a hobby so it can take some time. patience plz ^^ Everyone knows I absolutely adore NCH so you can draw your conclusions from that on if I dream of having NCH on one day.

@@gaijinhunter ok, you replying my comment makes up for it, before You, I had to read written tutorials with asterisks all over the place, very insightful information btw, but the community was non existing, I had to soloed MHF unite 1000 hours + because I never met any other person who even knew about the game, I did preach about the game with little success.

[@geraldtheoctopus1594]

I think the best part of hammer is the fact that if you go back to monster hunter 1 after playing any weapon in 5th gen, it feels like it's a completely different weapon. Sns has 1 combo, great sword has a total of 3 different moves, none of them charge but they loop infinitely, and lance is... well... lance. But then there's hammer, you got your charge with it's spin and it's charged smack, your 3 hit combo, you're missing your big bang combo but the basics are still there.

[@Vulcanfaux]

Melodic slap! I feel with hunting horn everyone likes the default X+A because it does more damage and everyone seems to think it's slower. But I love melodic slap, and the fact you can cancel out of the end with another X+A or even use that automatic last kick up to get an A in is just so good. So yeah I love melodic slap over the overhead smash.

[@NaliaDanger]

Agreed!

[@sekiro_the_one-armed_wolf]

I play with greatsword, switch axe, longsword, and hammer in iceborne, never got the hate for clutch claw.

[@R3LOADlikesgames]

I saw the notification on Spotify and said: "I ain't listening to this, I'm watching this.

[@nuke2099]

The problem with hammer in Rise is that if you aren't doing impact crater you're doing it wrong. It's so powerful it makes every other hammer attack useless in comparison. It's actually made the weapon boring if you use it optimally.

[@nuke2099]

@@LizdardKing86 Exactly this.

[@joshmay2944]

On the other hand if you’re not chasing meta DPS, they added one of the weapons coolest additions with Spirit Mode and switching back and forth. They should buff Spirit Mode to balance it more and nerf impact crater and the weapon would be really interesting.

[@nuke2099]

@@joshmay2944 "Not chasing meta DPS" What does this even mean. Look Impact Crater overides the rest of the moveset period no matter what.

[@joshmay2944]

@@nuke2099 it means the rest of the moveset is totally valid and you can easily kill a monster without ever using Impact Crater. The only reason to spam it is if you want the most damage possible every minute of the hunt.

[@nuke2099]

@@joshmay2944 Who wouldn't want the most damage every minute of the hunt. Also the rest of the moveset is pathetically weak compared to it. Like it's not even close.

[@JackWolf1]

Gaijin: what is one of the switch skills that you love? Me: … Savage Axe Mode for the Charge Blade. I LOVE savage axe mode, and carving through a monster with what is essentially a circle-saw is one of the most satisfying and badass things I can think of.

[@marcofromtropoje3169]

1:27:45 my idea for a “middle ground” would be having the same charm/deco farming/creation in Rise, but then in G rank or whatever, make level 4 decos random quest rewards like in worldborne. And maybe certain talismans like world talismans too?

[@wtf_is_this_handle_shit]

Level 4 decorations are so cool

[@diogoextreme2]

Maybe they can do on a future game, they decos you get then like rise, sunbreak but the talismas you do they like rise but using a sistem like world or iceborne that a item unique to talisman sistem will drop on hunts, they jewel already drop so is no much diferent, but reduces the boring grind on the end game

[@yarro7428]

It's all my monster hunter dads in the same podcast, holy crap On the subject of endgame, i think they could fix the problems fairly simply, though i don't know how easy it would be to implement from a technical standpoint. Basically, craftable charms, rng decos, but decos can only drop skills that match the monster you're hunting. want fire attack? hunt a rathalos. want earplugs? hunt a tigrex. obviously, tigrex isn't the only armor set with earplugs, so something easier would still be viable.

[@GarliccDread]

It was actually that new challenge arena with Tiggy that made me want to look into Dodgebolt specifically for those chargey monsters with bow. I was always using regular charging dodge and getting smacked by Tigrex. Then in that arena with the Khezu bow I was like wtf? This is working 👀 Gonna need to rebuild my Chammy bow set with Dodgebolt I think since it's already spread lol

[@DraegoMH]

As a CHARGE BLADE MAIN... yes. We are the superior, master-race of all weapons. 😂

[@stephenjohn2131]

That we are! 👍

[@WisdomAkpan211]

Why not main and master multiple weapons? I used to use cb only. After mastering it and playing 800 games with it, I branched out. I now have 8 weapons under my belt with over 400 plays each. Each weapon offers something unique and awesome. That's my look on it👌🏾

[@TJ10611]

I can agree to this ^^^ I used to be purely CB but after a while I started picking up other weapons starting with SA, then GS, LS, IG, SnS. I eventually had every weapon under my belt in 4 different MH games at a proficient level with about 2 weapons near expert level (not including CB) EXCEPT for HH. I never went near the weapon but it bothered me that I didn't have a single use for the weapon across 4 games. I then made a new save file on World and only played HH. After dedicating 200+ hrs on that HH save file. I can now confidently say I'm a CB main and sub to HH. Every other weapon is amazing and unique but those two weapons have had such a profound influence on me in terms of their mechanics. I find it quite interesting that my very first weapon and my very last weapon ended up being my top 2.

[@crazymangaming3391]

As a charge blade main I wish charge blade had switch skill where you use the spinning the axe head as a turbo unicycle. After all the charge blade needs to stay close to it's cousin the gun lance.

[@WhiteRaito]

1:37:00 + tcs kinda invalidated with every monsters in rise is move so fast. even when the monster knock down time you cant even have a normal full TCS (1 ,1 ,Max or 1, 2, max) they kinda semi force you to rage slash in general thats how i feel

[@thegreatlagi9974]

Surprisingly I'm the opposite of Dyno in that I used to adore Rise hh but after replaying a bit of 4U I really like the older game hh more. It's more satisfying hitting all those notes and actually playing songs. Old gen hh with rise's invincibility frame perform would honestly be the best thing ever and I hope the mh devs don't scrap old hh just because of Rise hh's popularity
