@@MonsterHunterWorldPHElites Hello there, in the reddit thread you linked it says step dodge is 10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 22 with evade window 0>1>2... etc and in the video it says 10, 12, 18, 20... so I'm wondering if I'm misunderstanding something?

[@MonsterHunterWorldPHElites]

​@@zanbamon4162 yes, thank you for pointing it out, another viewer also pointed that out a few minutes ago. I believe I mistakenly copy-pasted the info for Demon Dash instead of the hop in the video. Kindly just disregard the typo. The reddit source is the correct info.

[@ferofax]

Fighting games call that the hurtbox - the box that deals the hurt, and the hitbox is the part that gets hurt.

[@TheSpectralFX]

I would like to take a moment to sincerely and unironically thank whoever was involved in the making of the comprehensive guide on dodging. As a veteran gamer, most of the concepts weren't new to me, however I salute the time and effort you took to explain those concepts in the beginning of the video, as those without prior knowledge surely have been helped by it. But more importantly, I would like to express my appreciation for the slow motion footage and breaking down of each of the monster's moves you did, as it helps even the most veteran hunters to better understand what our visual cues for dodge timing should be. Monster Hunter is probably one of the most challenging game I've played when it comes to the level of precision required to successfully dodge. The way this video breaks it down feels very professional and also, artistic. So yeah, thank you a lot.

[@Blaisem]

@@user-ld8le5qt5p I can't find the answer from a good source, but I did read that it's similar to regular dodge roll, and caps out at 0.6s (36 s) with mantle. Also, you need some spirit to activate the s.

I've been struggling with figuring out why even though I know what kind of attack is coming, I still fail my dodge. I thought the s were MID roll, with the character in the air- I had NO idea it was at the START of the damn animation xD I was driving myself crazy wondering why I could usually dodge tail swipes okay, but quick charges/runs and roars I was having a poop time with. Armed with this knowledge, my practicing will be much less random xD Thank you for these videos, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!

[@psychocrysis2]

@@JohnSmith-op3qj Yeah, the worst thing about Dark Souls muscle memory is that you're encouraged to dodge proactively in those games, while in MH you're supposed to dodge at the last moment, at a timing that would get you roll-caught in DS.

[@interneddsupreme3810]

I did my first teo nova roll yesterday! Also, evade extender might seem to be ineffective with rolling I frames, but they sorta do too. You are able to travel further with your I frame than if you didn't have evade extender. You demonstrated that dodging alongside jho's tail was bad because you were in jho's active hitbox. With evade extender, you can travel a bit further, which means you may be able to escape the long active I frames with the same I frames you have and evade extender. Thank you so much for the frame data on evade window too

[@MonsterHunterWorldPHElites]

Much appreciated! Thank you for the feedback! Yes, you are right, Evade Extender can indeed help in iFraming as it will make you clear the distance further. Most definitely it will make all manner of swipes that much easier. Perhaps I will include that in a future video but for now I am happy with Evade Window only.

[@poisenbery]

I have almost 300 hours in this game and I legitimately thought the superman dive was the only Iframe move in the game. This info has helped me tremendously on my new play through of the game.

Wow, I learned a lot just by watching from this video! The editing is great too! I then instantly subscribed to seeing more quality content such as this. I like it how you replay the clips needed for the demonstration and slow it down to give emphasis and/or clarity on it. Sometimes it bothers me how monsters still hit me even if I "roll away" or "roll through" the direction it's hitting me from. Probably 'cause I'm doing it wrong. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much for this. I had originally been rolling completely wrong, as I assumed that the I-frames were in the middle of the animation like the souls series.

Great vid! I like the effort put into explaining dodging and showing in slow motion a variety of moves and how one can eff up the dodging :D Subscribed~

[@jimjim9405]

Extender might not grant more iFrames but it boosts how much distance you dash during the timing of the animation. Ergo, a faster dodge, ergo, easier dodges through attacks. Combining evasion window and extender allows you to pass through attacks you normally can't.

[@MonsterHunterWorldPHElites]

Very true!

[@adampalma8717]

Even though I may already be relatively good at evasion myself (not good enough to evade Teostra's nova, bravo to you for that!), it's nice to see that there are channels that explain the basic concept of evasion in Monster Hunter. It can definitely be helpful to newcomers and others who may not fully understand how to successfully dodge every attack, and even some of the more veteran hunters, like myself, can learn from these types of videos. Of course, just knowing how to do it isn't enough, and you still have to practice, practice, practice. Oh, and it feels sooooo good if you can successfully dodge an attack that you previously couldn't. :)

Great guide bro I was looking for something like this, I was wondering if this game had I-frames lol. great work!! I’m really happy with you’re work seriously.

[@Einsig]

The things that have frustrated me the most with trying to learn dodge timings are the complete lack of visual cue to indicate when i-frames are active and a controlled environment to practice dodging different types of attacks, be they quick sweeps, big slams, long and short charges or explosions. The only thing you really have in the training room is the dynamite barrel...

[@kurosan0079]

Whenever I roll through a roar, it's either one of those lucky ones, or my palico gave me earplugs.

[@le-0ne]

This is exactly what i was looking for. It really helps that you made this video with a switch axe which is known to be the worst weapon type in game, in terms of defense and evasion.

[@IRMentat]

This explains (incredibly well) why I keep getting punked by attack’s. I’m dodging way to early to I-frame the attacks while also being fat too late to out-zone them. Guess it’s time to play more aggressive :)

[@TheRealXartaX]

I think extender makes you roll further in the same amount of time? Hence it basically speeds up your dodge as well. Which means it's easier to things, even if the duration is the same. Because you can clear the hitbox faster. You can think of it like making each count as more frames, in a way. For example lets say you have 10 s, and you increase your range by 20%. That means those 10 s will move you as far as 12 s normally would before you can take damage. So while you have 10 s, you effectively dodge as if you have 12 s. So it's pretty relevant as it will impact all dodges except for the ones where you stay inside the hitbox for the entire dodge (but the hitbox deactivates before your s do).

[@BigJack916]

[@BowwieGJ]

suprizingly satisfying

[@tatsumakijim]

Just a curious question about Extender though. Even though it doesn't increase your iFrames -- if dodged in the correct direction, it should reduce the amount of frames your hurtbox and the monster hitbox intersect, right?

[@MonsterHunterWorldPHElites]

Yes, that is correct. Extender makes it easier to dodge moves that you should "roll through" like breath attacks and tail swipes because it increases the distance that you travel. You're right in that the intersection of the iFrames and the Hitbox will be less.

[@Carolyne_games]

I've been playing MH since P2 (or Freedom 2) and the over-sized hitboxes back then really made me fall in love with the two evasion skills. With newer games implementing more accurate hitboxes i-frame dodging has become much easier and many see evasion skills as the "noob skills," but I use them anyway as they are just so satisfying and fun :) Great video! It's amazing how many years of MH has sort of beaten these concepts into my subconscious mind, and it's really refreshing to review them in a well-organized manner. Speaking of extender though, even though it doesn't increase i-frames, it makes the hunter cover more distance during the i-frames, so I think it is still relevant to the discussion :P
