Threadly reminder that gen 1 was a mistake.

I want to BE Meowstress!

>In addition to the popular franchise’s upcoming 3DS RPG Monster Hunter Stories, Capcom has plans for a new Monster Hunter title and more according to their financial results briefing for the year ended March 31, 2016.
>Keep in mind that two million units isn’t exactly the number Capcom would expect from a main entry Monster Hunter title, but we’ll likely hear about a new spinoff title for the series [for console] in addition to Monster Hunter Stories, based on what was mentioned in the financial results briefing.

Your obsession with this. What is it?

...

so for lbg you need 5 different sets?

ice,wind,water,fire,thunder?
elaborate further

Anyone feel like doing LR Ludroth? been playing FU alot recently and can't be arsed with the intro grind
just want enough to give me an armour set
(Mega pick-axe would be nice)

Oh nothing. Just the new mainline game is all.

>Tfw trying out Bow
This is so fun and horrible at the same time.
Anything that deserves to be called a monster will 3 hit KO me, that or it will take me half an hout to hunt them.

>,wind,

Why is Hyper Steve so easy to manage, and yet Hyper Seltas Queen is like a fucking Mac truck on steroids? Holy fucking shit, this thing does a lot of damage. It's just a big fucking hitbox of hurt.

My boys that were doing grimclaw tigrex 2, still here?

Guess something happened, if you wanna join back i'm at 61-6328-6000-8778 doin' whatever

>Kush has left area, entered another area then immediately left it again 3 times in a row now
My love-hate relationship with kush is steadily tipping towards hate

Bow is great but it's clear times are garbage.

If I just spam SnS R+X, X, X, A, A at a monster's leg's i'll get a sub 10 minute clear time, even on hypers.

If I spam arrows with the bow, it'll be 20 minutes.

>"adept" shitters

Don't give him replies, he's just looking to bait someone by spamming the same shit every thread.

Should I buy Generations? I played 3U until I got lagiacrus armor and I played 4U till rank 7 online and unlocked the high rank quests in single player, but the later monsters feel like such a grind... Should I get generations or wait until I've gotten further?

??

I sincerely gave up on a Hub 6 Zinogre quest because I was taking too long, and I thought I would eventually time out. Doesn't help that Frozen Seeway is garbage and definetly did NOT have gunners/bow in mind when created.

Nibelsnarf is the best fight in the entire series, you're both retards.

How can gen 2, 3 and 4 happen without gen 1?

Holy shit does the aerial DB attacks fill up Wolf's Maw ridiculously fast. What's up with that, are the motion values that high?

Yes well it's just a bit like saying *someone* will be president in 2016. We all know that, that's not really the newsworthy aspect of the election.

Obituary/Rathalos armor + 1 or 2 armor pieces with high element value and [element]+7 charm can get you [element]+2 and attack+2 or 3, not perfect but decent at least, adept makes the defense only a backup in the case that you fuck up.

also, wind? dragon is useless tho.

Anything that goes under ground with (???) and stays in the ground for prolonged periods of time is absolute shit.

yeah that too.

All the MH4U maps are fucking nightmares for gunners.

And Dunes. Fuck Dunes.

I sure love bombing and fishing and wailing on a helpless, stationary target in my monster hunting

Here's your reply

>Hub 6
what did he mean by this?

what
said

either it spends half the fight under ground/switching zones, or you fucking "cheese" it with bombs and fishing

>Poorly designed - spends too much time moving out of range:
>Mizutsune
If you have trouble with Tama out-ranging you, you're seriously a supreme shitter. And if it's because you're a hammer main, you're a shitter regardless.

Yeah so it's newsworthy. Also it has more information like the sales target and since we are here now as it is that means reveal date is TGS. That's newsworthy.

It depends, mang. I mean, Enraged Guard will be better in 90% of the cases, because most fights don't last long enough for the Jab to outdamage it, so I'd recommend that. But the Jab can be useful for staggers or for monsters with awful hitspots (like Uragaan).

Ok, where should I look for a newbie on the Hammer path? I'm in low missions yet, what Hammer should I craft and which armor? Also which style/art? I'm going to bash some heads.
Please help ;_;, I cant find anyshit in the OP

See? You're retarded.
You don't have to use bombs or fish it to make it fun.

The number of hits is high and Aerial style fills the HA bar with aerial attacks, so there's that. If you're using a deviant weapon, that shit fills really fast.

Stick with Petrified for now, then upgrade to Tigrex when it is available (it branches from the Petrified line iirc). Then stick with it, it's pretty powerful and has natural white sharpness at final form. By then you'll have more of a grasp on hammer and be able to choose good end game options.

No I think I just explained how it's not newsworthy. Unlike the election there's nothing happening or anything specific. Imagine a general election thread which started off having to explain *someone* will be appointed president, but it wasn't about anything else. We're talking clockwork, the sky still being blue. It's not news till it's news.

What's a good swaxe path? So far I've just been upgrading petrified...

Thanks!, which style/arts should I pick?

When are we getting a brachy subspecies?

Pic related would be cool, a brachydios that evolved a sticky white slime with no explosive fungus, would work much like Nerscylla webbing and it's moveset would replace the fast punches with strong charged ones to make good use of its new status!

Raging Braccy exists

So a monster that's digging/leaping/charging 75% of the time and swimming around passively the other 24% of the time is supposed to be 'fun'?

I'd rather bomb it than put up with it being Plesioth 2.0 thanks.

It's not a subspecies, it's shit and not fun.

Molten Tigrex is basically Bracy but twice as autistic.

>exhaust phial
bad advice, just make the seregios SA

In order to change areas, you should have to press A. You should have to walk up to the zone, which is now an invisible wall, and press A.

I am so fucking tired of getting pushing into the next area by herbivores/cats/monsters falling over and wasting the entire opportunity for knocking them over in the first place. It's stupid that this still exists.

HR turns because I'm bored, need money, and don't want to charm farm any more today

69 1103 9807 2904

whats the best path for a gunner? i want to main HBG, is there a HBG that can shoot many different bullets?

>2 million sales target
>TGS reveal and holiday release
How is this not news?

Anyway TGS is a month away I'll keep on posting it just like you can keep posting your monster porn.

How do I save edit quests as cleared? I can't do Wrath of Rath with a SA

Try aerial GS. Works for me.

Guild for the true hammer path. Aerial for dunks and uppercut on lvl 3 charge. Adept is good if you can consistently abuse the follow ups to the evades. Choose based on this information.

Don't bother with Striker. It has innate Focus, but that means Super Pound spamming, which is bad and it also doesn't have the golfswing.

If I were to give you tips on gittin gud, practice positioning (the swings distancing can be hard to master), don't be afraid to cancel a charge by dodging (being greedy can be your death) and remember that even if KOs are your thing, you still have to account for hitzone defense. If the head has a really high defense (metal Raths, Uragaan) you either target other place or change weapons.

What Phials? He asked for tips on Hammer.

I tried it but I never used aerial prior so I usually get hit by goldian's flip or some shit.

>people hating on Astalos, Mizu, Seregios and Nercy, my 4 favourite monsters in the series
>people praising Dreadqueen and King, Ceanataur and Glavenus who I absolutely hate fighting

o-okay

It's fun because with enough guts you can punish it hard.
It's fun because you can hit it anytime.
It's fun because you can use items and fish it or not.
It's fun because it actually doesn't submerge itself fully often.
It's fun because all its staggers are satisfying (mid charge, mid beam)
It's fun because it can turn the tables very fast if you fuck up.

So now earplugs are a must for lagi?

guild and adept are good hammer styles, and I wholeheartedly recommend aerial style for Najarala and the big crabs.

Provoke should only be picked for online play, and even then I'd ignore it.

Typhoon trigger charges super fast, but is beyond situational, and you'll rarely find a good opportunity to land the finisher, but if you do it's essentially an instant KO

Spinning Meteor is solid, charges fast enough to be used about twice per hunt, and does great damage and really allows you to capitalize on KOs. It's my recommendation.

then get a different weapon you dummy

>How is this not news?

For lack of a TGS reveal. One month. Also that's low man, I haven't posted any monster porn. Should I start?

Is Nargacuga suppossed to take half an hour to kill solo

but i love raizex, tama, steve and scylla
they're great waifus

Use a lot of draw slash to rake up those mounts.

No, as a hammer main I can solo hub cuga in less than ten minutes. You must be fighting silverwind X I assume?

So eceryone can agree that Striker is the shittiest style?

>tfw no Veeky Forumsfuta Zamtrios gf

Ceana has one bad move which is the "Imma run with my arms wide open so come hug me" technique. Apart from that he's ok and I like that they added the bleeding effect. And Glavenus has reads on absolutely all its attacks and no cheap moves whatsoever, it's by far my favorite of the Fated Four.

That said, your favorites are really good and I don't know what people are complaining about. If anything, the only one I could complain about is Shrouded Nerscy, if only because you had to fight it in the fucking Dunes at night (with the ledges, sand whirlpool and all that shit).

So in anticipation for the possible TGS reveal the news will always be posted. And the 2 million target is more than newsworthy, it's enough for speculations even.

please go to bed

>striker
>shit
>when several weapons are objectively at their best using it

Can we all agree Adept was a mistake?

...

No.

SnS and Lance disagree with you.

>Lance with its absolutely insane motion values
>SnS with Silverwind armor and metric fucktons of crit damage out the ass

>waaah stop having fun

No, hammering Tigrex with adept is the most fun I ever had with him.

I know it's crutchy, but I'll be sad to see it go.

I hate Glavenus bite which for the life of me I've tried dodging so many times and still get hit. and fuck that large mass shouldn't be able to move that fast. can't see shit when i'm fighting him since he takes up most of the screen

>it's a 'hammer user enters the room with 3 other people using weakness exploit hunting a monster with a head weakpoint' episode

...

Fro what I've seen on jap TAs, I'd say Aerial is the shittiest style, since almost no one uses.

I can shitpost too, you know.

>waah waahh

why are DB users so whiny

I need help killing Nakarkos. HHID: 23-7598-3839-5369

HR7 Urgent

Is it possible to get Crit 2/Crit damage up/Repeated offender/ Pierce up right now or can I only pick 3?

Nope, just normal Nargacuga

Angry gunner b8.

It's the same bite animation from Jho, but for some reason I can dodge/guard when it comes from Glavenus and get rekt with def down when it comes from Jho.

...

Then you're undergeared or doing something wrong.

Even top tier speed runners get hit by glav bite multiple times during their run.
