[Kyoufu]

Insect Glaive whoooooa. Look at that aerial movement!

 

[texhnolyze]

Even sword & shield looks like fun in World.

 

[Kinsei]

Gunlance looks cool but the wyvernfire explosion should be bigger. (this goes for pretty much all explosions though, they look weak as fuck in this game).

The weapon might not be total garbage this time around.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Insect Glaive whoooooa. Look at that aerial movement!

This. the Glaive was my weapon in 4U but here it looks so damn crazy in the best ways

 

[Zackat]

subbin to this to watch later, wow

 

[Khezu]

Insect Glaive looks rad.
Hopefully the change how the kinsect and it's buffs work though, it got kind of annoying on longer hunts.

I bet Gun Lance is going to be just as terrible as ever.

 

[raven777]

 

[Delio]

IG looks like a ton of fun. Hammer my pride and joy is still the same. Dual Swords tho whew.

 

[RSchmitz]

This is cool for new people like me.
Loved the glaive and dual blades.

 

[sprsk]

I am very butthurt about the lack of any sort of meaningful change to the lance.

 

[dragonflys545]

This is the real deal! It's going to be my first MH game!

 

[BetterWorldz]

I am very butthurt about the lack of any sort of meaningful change to the lance.

Personally it makes me happy to be able to slip right back in.

 

[Kyoufu]

I am very butthurt about the lack of any sort of meaningful change to the lance.

I think in the Japanese stream event the Lance user used a forward hop to close the gap between himself and the monster, Could be a game changer in terms of mobility which the weapon sorely needs IMO.

 

[Trago]

Ah yes, the Switch Axe, my weapon of choice.

Doesn't seem like they've changed it up much. Attacks seem a bit faster in this though.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

#TeamGreatSword

Look at that hard hitting beast of a weapon.

 

[Kyoufu]

One thing to note is that these videos don't show all the possible attacks. For example, the Hammer video doesn't show the aerial spinning wheel attack they showed off in the Japanese stream event.

Ah right they didnt show that.

 

[HStallion]

Damn looking really good all around. Getting more and more excited with each bit of the game they show off.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Guys is that blood animation on the Bow video at 0:21?

https://youtu.be/HkiPXvwSbW0?t=21s

O.O

 

[wwm0nkey]

Guys is that blood animation on the Bow video at 0:21?

https://youtu.be/HkiPXvwSbW0?t=21s

O.O

Ha they forgot to cut it for that one part, nice lol

 

[Qvoth]

MAH DEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK

 

[names2hard4you]

Charge Blade still looking fierce.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Ha they forgot to cut it for that one part, nice lol

Blood splatter looks good, don't know why they turn it off.

 

[Ridley327]

O.O

I think you're right. Strange that it's present in that video and not, well, any of the cutting weapons.

The lack of hit markers across the board is still making everything look weaker than it should, and I'm starting to get the sinking feeling that they might be trying to push the particle effects for when the weapons hit the ground as a replacement. In which case, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Man, everything looks soooo much more dynamic now. Even best class, Switch Axe, has some new moves and combos.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Blood splatter looks good, don't know why they turn it off.

I believe they have to for the JP audience or something like that

 

[TheOasis]

Well, it seems that Capcom is still the king of combat animations. Their animators, especially those that work on the MH series, are insanely talented.

 

[Akainu]

Facial animations are a nice touch.

We Levi now.

 

[Kinsei]

Charge Blade still looking fierce.

Really? I think it looks incredibly weak here. Just look at those awful explosion effects.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

There better be some ninja looking armor to go with those Dual Blades. They even have a ninja run animation.

 

[Night Angel]

Narga better be back. Gimme my sharpness.

And its armor looks great.

 

[Roubjon]

GOTY 2018. It looks fabulous.

 

[Akainu]

Levi's Rules of Nature - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk7KTFC1GY8

Talk about turning great action into shit.

 

[AkelisRain]

I can't wait!

 

[Syril]

Hope for Nargacuga then.

 

[Akainu]

Bow

I see they have relaxer in the monster hunter world.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Narga better be back. Gimme my sharpness.

Yes.

One of my favorite monsters to hunt. Lucent was a treat to hunt solo.

 

[OmegaZero]

Holy shit those Greatsword changes. Who needs XX anymore?

Hopefully Gunlance gets a deserved buff to shelling.

 

[crinale]

#TeamGreatSword

Look at that hard hitting beast of a weapon.

Looks like it is just you & me, how sad

Spoiler

I've heard that GS is most used weapon in general

Edit:

Anther comrade

 

[Comandr]

Sweet Jesus. My IG. Give it to me nowww.

 

[Hugstable]

YEAH GIMMIE THAT SWITCH AXE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TreIII]

Aw, HELL YEAH.

NOW, I can be hyped.

 

[spiritfox]

Ooh you go prone for HBG siege mode now. I wonder if you can still roll out of it.

 

[Akainu]

Looks like it is just you & me, how sad

Spoiler

I'm with you. Just after gunlance though...and maybe longsword... ok swi ...I'm with you.

 

[deim0s]

 

[OmegaZero]

I wouldn't be surprised. It's easy to pick up, satisfying to use and has an insane skill ceiling.

EDIT: And yes, I've GS'd my way through all the 3DS titles. Looking forward to World (and XX if they ever end up localizing it)!

 

[PKrockin]

The sound effects and hit effects look pretty underwhelming. What's with the monster bleeding dirt and rocks, is there an earth element now or something?

Those MvC air dashes on Glaive, lol. The Je Suise Monte is going to be even worse in this game than MH4U.

 

[Night Angel]

^Blood effects are confirmed to be in the final game, they're just not in the demo (except the bow video lol).

The tele-dodge on that LS looks interesting, he also instantly used the anime jump from it. I wonder if that's a reward from iframe dodging.

Can't wait to see the full movesets. Gaijin Hunter, don't let us down.
