[@starzariaguy5151]

You can also get the Longsword meter up by doing a successful foresight slash or a successful Iai Spirit Slash. You could also get the Spirit Reckoning Switch skill, which switches out your regular spirit combo for a better more precise spirit combo. So overall, there’re four ways to increase your spirit gauge.

[@Plazmadragon18]

I'm liking the Setup in the back Afro. Feels like a new character arc gonna be happening soon.

[@soundsearadio4554]

I did not see a single Iai slash. Embrace your inner weeb. And start iai quick drawing all over the place.

[@horacionivar2869]

i dont think hes in that level yet bro🤣

[@MayankRages]

I was looking for this comment XD Afro please look up some long sword guides. Great video

[@therealbalto24]

Yeah quick sheathing in rise is so damn good and feels so satisfying definitly the funnest LS has ever been.

[@MrDot-hw5wb]

😂 he did a lot of those when he first started playing. Then he immediately jump into trying to learn combos.

[@BrokieTheJokie]

Long sword is really fun but I had to switch over to the hammer. Gonna main 3 weapons since so many of the are fun. Longsword, Hammer and Great Sword are my favorites

[@theezeuslord5317]

Hey Afro a couple tips 1. You have 2 more counters with the long sword. You have AI slash and foreskin slash AI slash RZ +B and press RZ when the monster attacks Foreskin slash RZ and A after you use an attack when the monster is about to hit you Both of these give you a meter of spirit gage if successfully counter and do god damage. 2. Radial Menu When using items you can use your radial menu with ur analog for quick access. Radial Menu is so uselful I would definitely look into it. 3. Not a tip but I’ve been playing monster hunter for a long time and I’m a LongSword main. I’m so happy you are playing and if it ever possible I’d love to do a hunt with you . Much Love and enjoy the game!!!

[@johnnydonahue2701]

Who else missed Afro calling people/monsters “big head”

[@dpvibes1]

Man that Intro will never get old Afro. It’s so fire and definitely one of the coolest intros I’ve ever came across on KZbin 🔥 🔥

[@manirk9467]

Finally happy to see you playing monster hunter! Hope you enjoy it

[@KilluaDLaw]

First it was a muffin, now it's spicy noodles.... and we still not getting another #CookingWithAfro vid? Tasha need to pressure him into doing another one? Is that it?

[@lagneiaanoixte8357]

I'm still wondering how the heck they managed to run this game so smoothly on the switch. Its magic I tell you, straight magic.

[@Squidberries]

What blows my mind is how smooth the online play is. I think I've only been disconnected once, and I usually wind up playing with people in Asia because of my weird gaming times.

[@Rageouz]

@@Squidberries the work of nintendo's new online network

[@Zero_Fortune]

I'm so happy you're playing this game Afro, I really hope I can see some more Rise content from you

[@DarthTayder]

Tip use the radial menu for all the items that you use on the dog (sharpening , potions etc) it’s way faster than shuffling through the item menu to find stuff

[@nope8247]

I love your videos so much afro I wish i could videos as good as you man!

[@josephnegm]

afro playing monster hunter, this is what we like to see

[@cerebralphenom976]

Yo Afro, who was that running in the background? Great content my guy.

[@Domindi]

Thats tasha lool

[@BvLee]

Afro just letting you know Sakura slash is pretty good since it does give you spirit levels, but soaring kick gives you access to the strongest move in the long sword arsenal, the helm breaker. To do it you just press ZR after landing on the monster with the kick, and while it does actually *cost* spirit to use, it’s strong as hell and looks sick when you do it. As for building up spirit without Sakura, your other counters - foresight and Iai spirit slash (executable with ZR+A and ZR+B->ZR after making an attack)- also give spirit levels. If you are interested in continuing with MH then I encourage you to hop into the training area and see what you can figure out, cheers.

[@ryan7050]

Afro there are 3 counters! First is Zr + A and is called foresight slash, it's great for in combo and if you hit it's free and raises the color of your sword bar. If you miss it takes all your sword energy and leaves you at the lvl you are. 2nd is accessed through the special sheath move which is Zr + B this sheaths and readies your sword. You can hit x for 2 lights attacks if one of those hit your sword energy will passively charge. However, if you wait in special sheath until you get right as you get hit and then press Zr you will do the Iai spirit slash combo which will increase your bar color. You actually don't really want to use the wirebug counter. When you reach red bar try hitting Zl + Y + Zr for spirit helm breaker. Trust me.

[@AaaaNinja]

I'm maining switch axe right now and decided to give longsword a try today. I'm taking notes.

[@LostGlassez]

Quick tip if you press ZR + A you'll do a foresight slash and if you time it perfectly it'll be a counter which fills up the gauge.

[@AstralElite]

Honestly I am happy to see you playing Monster Hunter again. My group of friends stopped playing it for some reason. I completed the game to a 100%. (all quests, sidequests and weapons) an even made a new character to play it again. If someone is looking for somebody to play with or to get some help I would be happy to join and/or give some advice. I am a veteran hunter and started with Freedom Unite. Anyways I hope everyone enjoys the game as much as I do. Happy hunting!

[@Laoruperteen18]

Village and Hub quests are all part of the same "Story" , though monster hunter has never really had much of a story. Village 1-6 basically translates to Hub 1-3 3-star hub hunts are actually harder than 6-star Village hunts because the Hub is set to 2-player difficulty by default, but still very much soloable, so basically youve played the game in reverse :D

[@JDWalker495]

Please let this be a new arc, and not filler PLEASE😭 This anime been on hiatus for the longest

[@BoogieWoogi]

YEEEEEEEEES I LOVE THAT MORE KZbinRS I WATCH ARE GETTING INTO THIS SERIES! I’D LOVE TO SEE MORE VIDEOS OF THIS GAME FROM YOU DUDE!!!!!

[@Bearlock1215]

Just a few things he didn’t mention, the village quests are made easier with monsters having less health and only go up to low rank while hub quests have monsters at full health as their made for multiplayer with the monster health scaling up with the amount of hunter in your quest and these quests go up to high rank. The “using wirebugs in attacks” are called silk binds and there are 2 for each weapon with one that you can switch out later. Rewards decreased just means that you loose some of the zenny that you would have earned and capturing monsters gives less rewards but higher chances at certain materials (like monster gems). Otherwise amazing game and he covered it pretty well. Also I love the games and so if there are any newcomers to rise I could probably answer your questions about the series but if it’s how to use a specific weapon just look up Arekz gaming (can never remember exactly how to spell it) or gaijen hunter (also can’t remember exact spelling) for guides.

[@OhjiiGlacier]

Most definitely will love to watch you have a Afro Monster Hunter series.

[@TheJedaiHero9000]

ABSOLUTELY fraking loved and TRULY enjoyed watching this Monster Hunter Rise video right here!!!!! The Longsword is MOST DEFINITELY my 2nd MOST favorite weapon. Really, REALLY looking forward to more of Monster Hunter Rise vids!!!!!

[@eeeeeeeev]

Hey Afro. Just an FYI, after your silkbind attack hit ZR+B to "special sheathe" you can then try to counter an attack with ZR or hit X for a double slash that will auto fill your gauge. I see a lot of comments telling you the moves names without telling you the button inputs. Hope this helps! Dope to see you playing MHR! I have a feeling you'll love using the special sheathe. Also, I suggest learning to use the radial menu to help speed up item selection

[@ColorfulChaos-cy7xx]

Bro i got that game yesterday. And now i see this video on my fyp? Really?

[@MorgothZEone]

Part of why i enjoyed MHW so much is just observing the monsters going about their business, they really feel like animals just living their lives, I haven’t gotten to play MHR fully yet, but i do hope that aspect is in the game

[@liamahern9725]

I've said it before and i'll say it again... Afro's intro is TOO CLEAN 🧹

[@dawudburton1081]

So hype to see Afro fuckin with monster hunter i fell in love with the series with world and iceborne and rise/Sunbreak hasn’t disappointed yet

[@Neonant-]

Can’t believe you’re actually playing monster hunter! I been a fan of the series for a long time one of my favorite series. (Btw Afro long sword has 2 other counters)

[@nopenope7096]

Probs my only complaint for rise is that the online hub with 4 people mixed with the buddy attacking. Mostly cause I can’t tell what’s going on

[@raason4854]

PLEASE KEEP PLAYING THIS

[@KenjaD2ROfficialMusic]

Oh so we actually consistently putting out content? Crazzzy welcome back King. We’ve been waiting. Videos back to back..sort of. I’m just happy you’re doing okay in all seriousness love ya man

[@he_cat]

2:02 The "Proof of a hero" version of MH Rise is by far my favourite and one of my favourite ost of all time in general. It is so amazing🔥

[@AuraXp_]

YES! Please come back to this! I like seeing people progress in grindy games like this 👍🏾

[@im-joking-5950]

Pro tip, I really recommend the nargucuga weapons and maybe the chest piece for high affinity and damage out put

[@mmangalisomasinga432]

2:30 Yes, I too shall use my impressively long "third arm" to traverse these lands.

[@Fableruin]

The village quests and the hub quests are both story quests its just that village quests are restricted to singe player

[@hartake6667]

Ooh wow - I've been playing MH since PSP. It's one of the very few games for enjoyable in long term. Might get a switch cause of this Afro now!

[@CloudWind0643]

Same started in FU

[@hartake6667]

For MH contents you can do stories - quests for your build type - e.g healing & fire resistance in preparation for an elder dragon like teostra or smt

[@Stallgia]

Monster hunter is one of my favorite game series I’m so happy Afro likes it

[@ActionJaxonH]

Ok, you need help. When you get hit and go flying, use ZL+B to do a wirefall recovery in whichever direction you point the analog. As long as you have a wirebug, no longer do you have to wait for the knockdown animation.

[@mysticalhero2460]

Seeing you play this game more would be a lot of fun :0)

[@EchilonPlays]

Absolutely want more rise videos! I've finished multiplayer and story waiting for the next update this month for increasing HR. Cheers!

[@rex100003000]

Would love to see more!!! So happy you are enjoying the game!

[@DEVmags_]

That thumbnail is hard 🔥🔥

[@YourTruCaptain]

On god Afro-san always makes the days better 🙏

[@foryossimodicarbonio9703]

If you capture the monster you get less materials (because you end the fight sooner) but there are rare drops that you have an higher chance to get if you capture it (like Rathalos' ruby). But there are also material that you can get only if you kill the monster and carve it yourself (for example, the Nargacuga marrow)

[@davidshirley8325]

If you get knocked on the ground use ZL and B in a direction to wire big outta the way and automatically sheath your weapon so you can heal faster and get some distance between you and the monster

[@starzariaguy5151]

Christ O’Malley, that bleep sound is deafening.

[@LG-gd7lo]

Imagine the dry spell afro would be feeling if he actually finished the games😭

[@gleej895]

Another Afro video today’s a good day

[@vetisu_7719]

im not sure if you werent doing it on purpose or not but just in case you didnt know you can do ZL+B to do a wire bug rebound when you get knocked down on the ground and it will get you back up way faster than just laying there a second. it also gets you some distance from the monster and puts your weapon away so you can use a potion as soon as you land on your feet to recover.

[@hervelabrie-durand4574]

Please do more, love this format

[@Sundiny]

Let’s go man. Love to see someone get into the games

[@TQWarrior]

love the content. definitely down for more

[@sdgamer1860]

I hope you aren't forgetting do to the village quests man, you can get a lot of good stuff out of it like two request that gives you a Iron umbrella and large shuriken for your dogs to use in combat. Also you get the village Elder's sword when you complete the village

[@isaaccoumbe3508]

I’m so happy to see a review that captures my feelings about this game. I see people saying they have a problem with this or that and I just can’t find it dog. This game is fucking perfect and I’m obsessed with it.

[@natsudragneel7516]

I don’t know if he already knows this now from when this was recorded, but just in case, You can click Right trigger and B after your Sakura Slash or Roundslash aka 5 right trigger combo, and it’ll put you into a sheath stance. From there you can click right trigger again for a counter or “X” for a double slash that builds the spirit meter. I hope this helps with your journey, whether that be Afro or someone else in their MH Rise journey

[@AscheAbyss]

You really probably should do all of the village quests on your own time or video tbh. If you don't go through the village story, you skip by a certain urgent quest in the middle of HR6 hub missions.

[@BurtToast]

I would love to see you play more, and that honestly does suck getting left behind on monster hunter, would have loved to see your reaction to everything in monster hunter world

[@duskyer2391]

When you trap the monster, you get more of the basic materials like scales or fur. When you slay the monster, it's better for rare drops. Say a Gem is 5% chance at carve and 8% on capture. It would be better to get the carves for three chances of 5% than the one chance at 8%

[@idleshinobi3980]

Definitely want more of this

[@trainer_donovan9276]

The longsword has a total of 4 counters my G. The foresight slash, Iai Spirit slash, the drawn double slash, and the serene pose. So if you rockin with the counter playstyle, I just peeped you up on game. Keep up the good uploads.

Aside from the pure bliss of u uploading a video, upon hearing the p5s ost in the video I'm to assume that u played/ing it having just finished it myself I would love to hear your thoughts on it like the p5 vid years ago. Ps. I know that he played it cuz that's how he always puts music in his vids its kind of like his signature style to use osts from games that he recently played and enjoyed like how he put fire emblem ost in some vids at some point or the neir automata ost in sekiro vs owl fights, and many more examples not to mention the p5s ost has been out for over a year now but being used only now is a dead giveaway that he just experienced it recently.
