Reposting because I feel like it's worth a reminder for the thread:
We don't know yet. From the data we've seen thus far: >S tier, weapons with strong match ups on average and frequent absurdly strong match ups, as well as uncommon poor match ups, or weapons with absurdly above-the-curve damage capacity to make up for other shortcomings HBG, LS, Lance >A tier, weapons with strong match ups on average and frequent absurdly strong match ups, with occasional poor match ups GS, Hammer, DB, SA, IG, Bow >B tier, weapons with frequent strong match ups as well as frequent poor match ups, or weapons that have below average damage capacity SnS, LBG, CB >C tier, weapons with infrequent strong match ups and predominantly poor match ups. These weapons generally have poor damage capacity GL, HH >Gutted Prowler
The strongest determining factor for your performance with any given weapon is your own affinity with that weapon. If you are a natural born CB user, you WILL get better results with CB on average than with any other weapon. Barring extremely favoured match ups, like HBG vs Plesioth or LS vs Astalos or Lance vs Hellblade. A and B tier weapons are very similar in strength. You've got a hard road ahead of you if you want to play GL, HH or Prowler, however.

Is it hard for them to just rip off DD's controller UI for HAs?
Austin Morgan

Noah Baker
>You've got a hard road ahead of you if you want to play GL, HH or Prowler, however. Again, you're a retard, confirmed to never have used any of those weapons. Match up isn't what makes them weaker. Stop spreading bullshit, faggot.
Jason Myers
why are the HAs set up like that? Wasn't it a standard since the early 2000s to just have a single D-pad on screen that shows which action does what?
Carter Williams
What is it that makes them weaker then, user? Generally poor damage capacity? Awkward skill set requirements? Lack of strong endgame options? Your input is appreciated.
Jacob Hill
Kind of hoping there's some tweakable UI options
Camden Cruz
Are you stupid? Capcom does whatever they want. You just need to buy it.

Not to mention the horrible positioning.
Xavier Nelson
Thank god I didn't buy MHXX on 3DS. I know that all they did was made the textures clear, but holy fuck I can't wait to fight shit like Glavenus on a TV.
Xavier Lopez
Nobody bought MHXX either but we all finished it 2 months ago
Levi Morales
For HH and GL, it's just poor damage output, probably because of the songs, the heat gauge and the way the weapons are balanced. They are only a hindrance on TAs where time is everything, not in regular play. You're only encouraging more tier list autism by telling people not to use them.
Also, for most weapons, match up doesn't matter, as good speed runners will always be able to reach weakspots and make the most use out of them. The only times this applies is to monsters that have shit hitzones only for one type of damage, like Dreadking.
Alexander Cook
Please look forward to hot-button boxes in the next game
David Hernandez
It's not quite as comfy as 3U, but I'll bet you even more people are gonna have a Switch, so I do look forward to enjoying another HD title with /mhg/.
Nicholas Reyes

Logan Morales
>for most weapons, match up doesn't matter
It does sometimes, particularly now that monsters move around a lot more. That affects hammer and HH disproportionately.
Aiden Ramirez
Switch has sold 65 million?
Caleb Jackson
Are you somehow suggesting that number came into play in March 2013?
Henry Martinez
Hopefully it'll pave way for MH5 on Switch and push further. Take all the concepts of Frenzy/Hyper, Apex, Deviant, etc and make it happen in real time. Like a Monster actually gets blighted and becomes more vicious during the hunt or a Glavenus heads to a lava part of the area and turns into the Hellblade version. Shit, maybe introduce some crazy interspecies bred monsters like it was sort of implied with Astalos and Rathian. Imagine what abomination comes out from those two. Maybe also have proper weather and bring back diving?
Jaxson Fisher
lmao wat?
Daniel Harris
Likewise, I have no idea what you're on about.
Blake Smith
So did the banning stoppu? Can we go back to waste our lives pressing buttons on a TINY screen while pretending were hunting giant sauri fauna?
Kayden Jones
>For HH and GL it's just poor damage output GL suffers a lot from a lack of ability to bring its damage to bear. Its motion values aren't awful, but you'll spend a lot of the time backhopping to close the distance where an IG user with similar motion values will already be hitting the monster.
>For most weapons, match up doesn't matter, as good speed runners will always be able to reach weakspots Quick question here: have you actually done any TA's of your own? The nuiances of the different weapons make a really big deal, things like how a weapon deals its damage and the opportunity cost of dealing damage with reference to the openings a monster has. There's a reason why Lance has such tremendously good clear times vs Hellblade, and it's not due to Lance simply dealing [that much] more damage.
Elijah Jones
Bans go out every Tuesday after maintenance. See you next week!

Hahahaha, it's still ongoing

>Always thought this was a shitty game for autists It is. It really, really is. >Collecting mushrooms or fish is tons of fun That is the part of Monster Hunter that most of the playerbase dislikes the most.
It's nice to know that a newcomer is enjoying themselves, but it's hilarious that your experience is basically the diametric opposite of everyone else's.
Ryder Morris
Carrots so he could see better.
Mason Edwards

Aaron Rodriguez
Supposedly ongoing, but it's possible that banned systems just checking today were banned with the rest a couple of days ago.
The gathering wind-down is nice sometimes.
Austin Cooper
Don't worry, the magic wears out quickly. Nowadays only fighting monsters can make me have fun, never got as immersed in the game as I got in the first few weeks.
Alexander Stewart

Kevin Cruz
I think he finds that funny because it's his first MH game. But we had played several MH games. So when we start a new game is boring because is starting from the scratch again. I mean, playing 4U unlit the first day of Generations ruined totally my experience, because I completed 4U at 100%, literally I didn't need nothing to farm anymore. So, when I start Generations was boring as fuck, because was gathering herbs and mushrooms, and hunts little shits over again.
Carson Davis
Anyone got some of the dumbest webms of Frontier monsters doing Frontier things? I gotta show a bud some of the crazy shit from Frontier and don't have much of it.
Dylan Watson
Am I the only one who feels like GL got fucked in the ass with the heat mechanic? Sure it's more "engaging" to play or whatever but it's simply something you have to play around without getting a notable buff for doing so. At least other weapons have mechanics that actually reward you for keeping up with them.
That on top of how shitty mobility the weapon has it's just painful.
Aiden Mitchell
just show XX videos
Evan Edwards
I hacked my 3DS, am on 11.3, but haven't turned on my 3DS in weeks.
When will it be safe to turn it on?
Brayden Russell

Adam Ross
I thought the heat gauge mechanic seemed really fun in theory, but in practice it just limits you miserably. Increasing the heat gauge without Full Bursting takes a lot of time, the damage buff is mediocre at red, and I've fucked up my red gauge far more frequently than I've locked it successfully.
It's WAY too difficult to manage for such a small pay off.
Caleb Jackson
...
Lincoln Gutierrez
I think heat and Aerial/Adept/Brave are all quite biased torwards Normal-type GLs, as well.
Caleb Turner
Video unrelated?
Nolan Ramirez
>When you need to be even faster than Silverwind Seriously though, what the fuck happened at the end? How did they die?
Joshua Hernandez
If you're messing up at managing the heat gauge, then you must be really bad at using the GL, It's really fucking easy even without artillery.
Matthew Cooper
>It's WAY too difficult to manage for such a small pay off. Indeed.
If you max out your heat in a bad spot where you'd need to get it locked but can't because the monster is being an ass about it you're just fucked. If you fuck it up you get penalized by simply having a worse GL than it would've been in a previous version of the game. If you succeed you get a meaningless buff.
It did nothing to fix the problems of the weapon and I'd even go so far as to say it amplified them.
At this point I really hope they just get fucking rid of it for MH5. It seems like they don't want to make it rewarding like the similar mechanics of other weapons.
Just another example of how badly the designers understand the weapon or alternatively how few shits they give about it.
Joseph Wood
Don't forget, they reduced motion values to make sure red bonus is balanced!
Noah Cook
By being 2fast2furious
Isaac Allen
Being hit by from the back by narga's blade when it retracts it's arm after the slash.
Caleb Turner
That's a pretty cool gimmick.
Angel Nelson
>once you play tonfa or heaven swaxe all other weapons become unplayable because they can't dash brb gonna put myself in hypersleep until z1 comes out in TW
Josiah King
Sure, like everything in this game you can just git gud.
Doesn't change how small the benefit is on managing heat properly versus the effort required to do so. And the fact that if you fuck up you get penalized for a huge chunk of time. The effort/risk and reward don't add up.
Gavin Gutierrez
>in the event your SD card has a hiccup when booting, you will be prompted with a single option to reformat all save data with "yes" being the default choice >in a fucking game where you have to mash the A button to skip all the fucking splash screens at startup >lost 300 hour save file instantly
I've always hated these games. I really, really have. The gameplay mechanics were never intrresting or sensible. I only ever tried to play MH to feel connected with other people.
the games have crashed, the system programming always felt mind numbingly retarded, but this? for a spec of dust on a contact of the card to, by literally retarded design, automatically assume I would like all save data to be deleted...
i'm out. fuck Monster Hunter forever.
Jaxson Anderson
>I've always hated these games. I really, really have. >300 hour save file
hows that double think treating you
Blake Anderson
I cannot deny, I am not good at using GL. Even so, managing red gauge is difficult enough that I usually don't even bother trying to lock it, and instead simply never use Wyernfire.
Benjamin Hernandez
>doesn't back up his saves >Doesn't back up his entire Nintendo 3DS folder periodically

T/A,Time attack Can probably get sub 6 or even sub 5 if I didn't fucked up or didn't spawn in area 5.I'm satisfied anyhow. >If you are a natural born CB user, you WILL get better results with CB on average than with any other weapon. Can confirm.I'm a literal garbage when I use other weapons other than CB.The only weapon other than CB that I can use properly is DB.I also have a friend that turns into noob when he is using a non-blunt weapon. I can see why a lot of REAL good players will always say that you stick with your favorite weapon.
Austin Lee
A guy who had 1000+ hours on Freedom Unite that ended up going down the drain.
Thomas Miller
what happened to the chinese MHO
Noah Wood
Still going strong, apparently.
Connor Howard
something happened to it?
Robert Hall
Terrible ping, terrible daily limits, and Freedom Unite style play made Western interest mostly taper off. Pretty much the only place to keep up with it is that one MHO Discord.
Ian Wright
i will never understand the decision to make monsters server-side lagging monsters makes it LITERALLY unplayable
Ryan Mitchell
>Freedom Unite style play It's not a bad thing to build upon the best game
Logan Allen
I wonder why Capcom wouldn't grant them newer properties.
Easton Turner
Pariapuria!
David Green
Gotta have a good meal
Matthew Martin
except they ruined the feel of all of the weapons with floaty animations and no feedback for hitting monsters except for damage numbers. MHO has graphics and nothing else. you can really tell it was made by those hunter blade faggots.
Eli Miller
>monsters server-side
What the fuck, is this for real?
Charles Butler

Jeremiah Miller
Yes, imagine Lagrex times ten
Matthew Williams
There a program for converting my Generations save to X so I can use it in XX or will it work just copying and importing it into X? I remember back when Generations came out there was a tool that needed to be used to let X saves work.
Chase King

Mason Adams
Bow looks like it's easy mode on PC
Sebastian Johnson
>get rid of mh's archaic controls and the game becomes easy Huh, who'd a thunk it?
William Scott
Gunner in general becomes easy mode in general on PC, which is the reason why mainline(especially numbered) will never be on PC. Restrictions in Freedom, my boy.
Jeremiah Jackson
i dunno i guess i started 4U when MHO was at its peak popularity in /mhg/ and there were posts and webbums about it all the time and now there's nothing
Jason Collins
>Sub 6 I believe in you! >Sub 5 Whew, that'd be pretty spicy. WR is 4:07.
WR for HBG is 3:06, this is my first run using the Daora set up. I only had 18 Pierce 1 left which means I was aiming pretty poorly. Next run I'll be testing out a Total Absolution/Mountainous Roar set up.
Lincoln Nelson
pariapuria gets fucked by gunners regardless, it is literally "dont get too close or get shitboxed" the monster, kind of like a miniature 4th gen akantor, really. they killed off the english patch, since MHO is laced with chinese MMO bullshit, i imagine it became too difficult for gweilos to cope with
Luke Scott
We all know kb+m is the ultimate control scheme to play mh with.
