[@shadowdragon1396]

Personally I don't think they went far enough with the LS buffs. In order to facilitate the prime LS experience, I suggest they add a special mechanic only for long sword. While in focus mode, you can locate the monster's carotid artery. Should you strike it, the monster shall immediately be slain. This will enable and even engrandize the low risk, high reward play style the LS has become known for. Speedrunners will also have a whale of a time with this mechanic, as all hunts will be reduced to movement optimization ending on a single strike.

[@d5dizzler962]

Not enough I say, Add another sword level after Red. Rainbow! You get 100% affinity and sword becomes 2x long, does piercing damage really fast and plays the anime song of your choice REALLY loud, so loud it counts as sonic bomb. AND during rainbow sword if you hit an ally they get sent obnoxiously far away unless they have they 9 levels of Flinch Free. Anything else?

[@JF-vz1ju]

Sounds like a great QoL change! I'd love for them to add this to streamline the gameplay even further! Having to actually fight the monster is just tedious and inconvenient after all. There's a risk of getting hit and that's just not fun, and games are supposed to be fun!

[@nowbacktome]

@@d5dizzler962 your suggestion addresses all of my primary complains with the longsword, but if i were to add one more change is that during the rainbow sword the longsword should change to dual longsword with 2 doppelgangers beside us copying all our moves as an afterimage, so that it can really capture the historical accuracy of longsword wielder.

[@BBBerti]

There was no high reward, it did bad dmg and was never worth using. The fact that it increases your gauge lvl actually makes it a useful move.

[@joelananna1116]

Zanny start lmao

[@BlazeMakesGames]

I do kinda wish that the Iai Spirit Counter still cost meter if you whiff. It just feels like if it's going to be a counter that completely negates all incoming damage *and* level up your gauge on a hit, that it should have some more noticable downside. To be fair they did make it so that you can't re-aim your Special Sheathe as much and we don't know if Quick Sheathe will be as effective as it was in Rise, so those changes could help make it at least harder to find an opening to get into the stance. At least they also made it so that you can't chain the counter into another Special Sheathe so you can't just spam it over and over again. So even if this is the final version at least it feels more fair than rise, but I still feel like it could use just a little more of a downside or something.

[@noidsuper]

I don't like the ability to bail out one of the game's highest committal moves. It it turns it from a high risk high reward move into a no risk high reward move. Along with not losing gauge on whiff, this is turning LS into a zero consequence weapon.

[@dragontamer1012]

I agree completely, now I wouldn't mind if you gained bar on successfully countering with iai spirit slash but I think as a risk you should lose bar if you whiff the timing. Helmbreaker is now way too piss easy and the skill expression aspect of landing it is just gone when you can just say nah if you're not 100% sure. Getting bar from wounds is cheap and makes this shit even dumber. The only saving grace is crimson slash moveset change being an incentive not to use helmbreaker immediately. Spirit Charge is fine.

[@zippo7422]

I don't agree , finally my blind Gramma with Parkinson can play the game with me !

[@apdragon321]

I mean, does the bail out give you hyper armor and invincibility? All it seems to do is let you to preemptively sheath to keep your spirit gauge if the monster is doing something unpredictable. You still gotta hop up and seemingly roll forward. You probably can't do follow ups like foresight after it either

[@Algenis_Santana]

People constantly ask ''why you guys hate LS so much? '' I don't know about others, but hear me out if you want. Long Sword used to be an ''honest'' weapon: strong and versatile but Hi-Risk due to how vulnerable you are if you attack carelessly, by the 4th generation (MH 4 Ultimate) the basis of the Long Sword was perfected from the 2nd generation formula. The first massive gameplay change came with MH Generations Ultimate (MH XX) with Valor style, giving the long sword the ability of parry attacks better than a Lance, which struggles to even guard a strong attack, especially from the Deviants. The seed was planted here. Monster Hunter World (MH5) is basically the new monster hunter one, the new age of MH was settled here. The Long Sword was changed forever, the main playstyle of the LS was up graded as never before, by removing its main weakness: ''Defense''. making it now, perfect, and from here, it's never stopped. Ice borne gave it new tools, Rise and Rise Sunbreak gave it even more upgrades and now Wilds (MH6) has just broken the ceiling. And I know what you're thinking now: ''What's the problem with that? haven´t the other weapons changed for the better too? sounds a bit hypocritical'' and the answer is actually yes, all the 14 weapons have evolved and it's fantastic, but for every new update a weapon receives, LS is 3 steps ahead, which is what feels so unfair, some people haven´t forgotten the weapon trailer of the Lance next to the Long Sword in MH Rise Sunbreak. I use all 14 weapons, I've mastered and loved all 14 weapons and still do so, and Wilds will be no different. Bottom line, good for all the main LS that get hyped with every video, I'll make sure to have my gild card 14/100 +, as my tradition have always been.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

As a Lance main, Sunbreak Lance was low-key one of the best counter weapons in Monster Hunter history. Insta-Block got a huge buff, because you could immediately flow into any one of Lance's other moves except for the basic pokes and the Power Guard. This also included Silkbind moves.

[@lordb3423]

God this is going to be a nightmare to team up with. I can imagine getting staggered all the time

[@pommedeter7407]

I like how the moves look, but it looks too strong to be fun. I started in world and my main was the longsword, it was already a very strong weapon back then, but still somewhat reasonable. But in rise, I kinda lost interest in the LS because it was so strong it devolved into spamming special attack after special attack. So I really worry with the direction the LS is taking with Wilds, to be honest it’s the only thing i haven’t been liking so far, everything else has been as close as a “perfect” monster hunter game as possible. I really think that leveling up your gauge to red should be a somewhat lengthy process, to give a certain rhythm to the hunt and so that when you reach red gauge and have access to the fast attacks or the possibility of doing a helmbreaker feels rewarding and earned, or the options given to you to reach red gauge faster should be risky, to reward players who have mastered the weapon. Otherwise it’s just not fun. Also, I don’t really like when a bunch of different moves all have the same purpose, and in the case of the Longsword, there are waaaay to many moves that level up your gauge. I’m probably gonna forget some, but off the top of my head there is : -regular spirit combo ending in the roundhouse spirit slash -foresight slash followed by roundhouse spirit slash -iai spirit slash -focus strike, possibly 1 level per wound destroyed?, and then followed by 3rd and 4th strikes of the spirit combo -spirit charge What’s the point of all of these moves if spamming one or two is already enough to upgrade you to maximum gauge? That’s why at least it’s good that a full helmbreaker + spirit release consumes 2 level of gauges, but I do think given how insanely high the damage is, while being relatively quick and mobile AND having a very forgiving hitbox AND the fact that you have 2 opportunities to cancel it (one before helmbreaker in the air and the second after helmbreaker but before spirit release), and how easy it is to level up gauge it could honestly cost 3 levels and it would still be strong. And the iai spirit slash should absolutely still cost a level if done incorrectly, with the number of option for levelling up gauge, it’s barely a setback, and it discourages spamming, which is a good thing.

And you will not be able to top of your red gauge by subsequent Roundhouse slashes.

[@ronjonronald6645]

In world and rise it'd only take a couple seconds to fill phials, sometimes with just a single charged double slash and could cancel SAED with yout phials at least extending shield uptime instead of completely going to waste

[@SirChompalot]

no you will still lose the gauge, however you can cancel it if you know you will miss and not lose a gauge, so if you would hit but cancelled it you would not do the attack.

[@SirChompalot]

however I do agree that they should at least have kept it so that you lose on whiff or you cant charge up gauges so quickly

[@MrT3ik0u]

7:50 lmao, no change for me 😂 Muscle memory kicked in when I started World and I kept the thrust on Circle (like it was on older games) all the way to Rise

[@choppachino]

I was also very confused, like what? Triangle, triangle, triangle? I didn’t use that much of LS in world and rise but like you said we always went with circle. I just realised after years of world and rise released lol

[@mazanakaUA]

So intstead of re-implementing "powerful, but punishes for bad execution" kind of design, it got even more ridiculous than it already was in Rise. That's not great. The rest of the weapons definitely need more love, and LS could do with a lot less. Its obscenely, stupidly overtuned in terms of usability and power.

[@gtmafiaa]

Lmao Cry more you cringe loser you know better than the devs right smfh long sword was boring as hell all u did was the same combo to level your gage, then helm splitter and counter when u can (world long sword) long had the most repetitive moveset in the whole game this is a welcomed changed.

[@Tororobas]

we cant take dmg values at face value bc this is a demo, capcom majorly buffed the players so that ppl could enjoy the preview of the game.

[@lubbo5261]

I remember in the Rise demo the Hunting Horn being very strong, just to then turn out to be the weakest weapon in the game in terms of DPS right now.

[@Stephano217]

Longsword is so free. Even missing doesn't have repercussions, if I miss a SAED can I keep my phials Capcom? If I miss a true charge can I just do it again at level 3 immediately? Hey I missed my wyvern fire can it not have a cool down. What if the cool down only happened if I land it? No? Just longsword. Got it

[@smartguyjaja]

@strateks9611 back in mh4u glaive was extremely op and the best weapon in the game by a wide margin so much so that they reworked mounting multiple times because of it.

few points not mentioned, in red gauge spirit roundslash can be chained into crimson spinning slash. After spirit roundslash you can cancel the animation through spirit charge, same goes for Iai spirit slash

[@darken6456]

Am i the only one worried??? Rise iss, cancellable helmbreaker, a guaranteed hit helmbreaker followup that does 2x damage than helmbreaker that if you somehow miss still doesnt punish you by depleting guage, a very easy to land move that levels up your guage by 2???? As a complete LS one trick did anyone ask to make LS more braindead to use, why are we removing the concept of high risk high reward and replacing it with just high reward when that isnt what mh is about, rise LS was a mistake and capcom should’ve seen that. I just hope it plays differently when i actually play it because what im seeing so far is that they’ve imported a portable weapon in their mainline game

Long sword is still maintaining baby mode status, SAED cancel when?

[@RookePlays]

cant you already cancel it by going into savage axe or charging the shield?

[@NotGeblinDev]

@@RookePlays it still uses the phials though, with savaxe it drains over time and with shield charge it uses them all. If the helmbreaker cancel used the gauge, then it would be fine

[@asiansimp]

@@NotGeblinDev from what I can see in other vids. Savage Axe has its own timer now instead of draining phials. Savage Axe now lessens phial usage by a half from discharges. Overcharging is also introduced so overcharged phials + savage axe consumes little to no phials in discharge attacks. Tho you can’t SAED from a neutral point now. Pretty huge buff if you ask me, at the cost of making SAED a finishing/counter move.

[@anchoviesonnachos7074]

SAED cancel exists already and it has a built in guard point 😂😂

I really hope some other weapons like the Lance or Insect Glaive get some kind of similar treatment... I played both of these weapons a bunch in World and I WISH I had the tools with those.

I also have a feeling that the Long Sword has way better resource management and movement than the Glaive. Is that just me?
