Espinas Frontier/Sunbreak Moveset Comparison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2022
- In this video I compare and list every attack/movement Espinas has in both games to see what's different or remained the same. The result? Not much changes to make it work perfectly. Capcom did an amazing job recreating Espinas' animations to Sunbreak. Details and all. Though design wise, the green color hues didn't really need to be touched. Let me know if I missed anything

Slight error: The upward horn thrust does launch you into the air only when you're hit directly by the head
An detail that I love that I noticed already in his sleeping animation is that in "old gen" it looks like he moves only the skeleton of his neck/tail and nothing else while in Sunbreak they actually took the time to animate his whole body reacting to the movement so he feels way more real.
When in old gen you had only the movement on the neck, in SB you can see his shoulders and wings moving a little as well. I really love touches like this.
I like how at the end you wake it up to fight, but instead it just gets a drink of water and then walks away.
And then it saw the nargacuga that woke it up before and decided to kick his teeth in before the hunter
Man, Espinas is one of my favorites now. It's so much fun to fight. Really hope more Frontier monsters come to Sunbreak.
Espinas subspecies (flaming espinas) is coming in TU2 in end of September
We might get some like elder lever mons but I think they might save some for mh6
be careful of what you wish for
*remembers peerless nargacuga*
Ironically, the Frontier lore states that one of the best things that can happen to a village is to have an Espinas nest nearby. While they are extremely dangerous when angered thanks to their triple threat of being poisoned, paralyzed AND set on fire, Espinas are quite docile normally, simply because they are so confident of their built-in defenses that they don't fear anything outside of an elder dragon. They spend most of their time sleeping, as they don't like to waste energy on driving away things that can't hurt them (or hunt things it can't eat).
The only things outside of elder dragons that could challenge an Espinas would probably be Lunagaron, as it's an ice creature that can live in the warm climates Espinas loves.
lunagaron and malzeno might be the reason sunbreak espinas is more aggresive
@@thesterben5573yeah did you HEAR malzeno’s roar? Poor durain can’t get a minute’s rest at all here!
Espinas at the end be like "That Narga owes me money"
The backwards movement in its body swing catches you off guard because you expect a monster to move forward while it attacks so you go behind it without thinking
That's a good way of putting it
Another fun detail in Sunbreak is that following one around without being seen reveals the secret of its venom - it eats Poisontoads, and probably Paratoads too. It will lay down in a surprisingly adorable way, and one of the toads will appear. It will wait for several seconds, then chomp it down in one bite.
It makes me wonder what Flaming Espinas eats to get its Defense Down fireballs...
I know this comment is from several months ago, but I'd imagine Flaming Espinas eats something like Altaroth to get defense down on its fireballs. Also, fun fact: Soulseer Mizutsune (and possibly Violet as well, not sure though) gets its explosive, fiery bubbles from eating Bomb Arowana
I enjoy the little rundown here, the cluster fire attack is from white/winter espinas if you were curious (certain you already knew that). I’ve always kinda loved him despite never hunting him until now. My biggest gripe is that he isn’t always sleeping and is a bit slow
I thought that move was from Scarred Yian Garuga? I guess it was the psyco bird who plagiarized the move than.
@@Rathadude well the attacks share a similar animation but it’s not the same and let’s not forget the number of fireballs.
From what I understand about Espinas, he is Capcom's IP because he is the flagship monster for Frontier, but the game has since been in Tencent's hands, and all the crazy new monster/designs are theirs, so a lot of the really over-the-top monsters aren't really Capcom's to add to Rise. Maybe some of the base game monsters will be, though. IDK which of the monsters are both unique to Frontier and owned by Capcom.
@@wetnoodlex that’s online not frontier
Frontier was made by Capcom online
I love Espinas' new voice in Rise. I think he's my fave monster in sunbreak tbh!
Great video dude! Thanks for this!
Fun fact. Espinas is literally one of if not the most chill monsters. The only reason he fights is in case of a threatening elder or they’re provoked past a certain point. Otherwise they’re mostly docile ☺️
They really great at selling the idea that this guys is a tank, from the roar, the heavier movement, it's fire that looks more of a cannon ball rather than a fireball, etc
Espinas is so great because it breaks free of the traditional mold of monster attacks we have been conditioned to recognize and fight over the years.
I remember Espi doing the triple fireball backhop way more often in Frontier, I only saw that move once or twice per hunt in Sunbreak lol
Loved the video as someone who hasn't played frontier, but it's a crime you didn't include his theme in the Sunbreak parts!
I did that for the purpose of it's sfx
Thank you so much for this. I'm sure we might need it for White ans Orange when they come
I think will only get white since a mid tier sub species wouldn't be considered challenging enough for our endgame equipment.
@@Rathadude I wouldn't underestimate Orange Espinas. He's pretty tough and his projectiles inflict defense down
@@GBA-049 We're going to need that Orange Flaming Espinas video soon
i dont know what will capcom do to subspecies espinas
Seeing a Frontier monster back is still SO surreal, even if Sunbreak's been out a while now. I'd love to see more of them come back, although there are definitely some that are a bit much and I wouldn't really like to see them in the main games.
5:05 Huh!? hah....hm....what's that wake me up? oo well *sleep walk*
5:25 Damn sleepin until noon make me thirsty ,time to drink and wash face from faucet
5:55 Espinas : Hmmm let rethink again, who wake me up, OOOO ITS YOU!!!
Hunter : ME!?
Espinas : No, you!
Nargacuga : Howdy!
Will you do a flaming espinas frontier v mainline comparison
is it normal i have the espinas sunbreak theme in my head while watching?
Will you make more videos like this? This time with the Shagaru, Gore and Seregios
Maybe Idk
4:10 "Scatter barrage" WTF? I've hunted Espinas dozens of times and I've never seen this move before :O
Espinas always aggressive in mhr sunbreak perhaps due to the rampage influence is still exist.
this is probably a stupid question but what theme is that at 2:36 ? it sounds so cool and i know nothing about frontier ..
Fortress Ruins/Hunter's Road
The tracking makes a huge difference and 4:00 is a brutal new attack. Also the strangely moving backwards is designed with multiplayer in mind, I think. Helpful video anyway. I will upload a moveset comparison between Sunbreak and Iceborne fan favorites similar to this one in the next few days, maybe check it out.
He is friendly when he chill mode... And protect you from narga LOL
What layered armour are you using? You based it off of that Zenith mixed set, right?
Correct. It uses Gore, Shagaru, Rajang, and Goss Harag's armor pieces
Bad news: Capcom brings back the instant charge attack for the new Hazard Flaming Espinas event quest.
Oh boy
Where’s Monster Hunter Online Espinas? It would by cool if you checked out the Frontier monsters that made it in MHO.
I unfortunately don't know a thing about Frontier monsters in MHO
Check out Nylusion he has videos showcasing Monster Hunter Online Monsters and more.
@@nightbladex6929 I checked out the Espinas showcase recently. It's a little.... odd, to be honest. But kind of interesting.
and why he eepy 😝
Amimir
those charges in frontier look like total bullshit.
They are *far* worse than any insta-charge combined
frontier espinas is the most tedious unfun monster, its sunbreak version is tons better
I love that Espinas washes his mouth after we woke up. He doesn't want to kill enemies with bad breath
