Monster Hunter Generations (MHX): Switch Axe Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- A full look at the move set for Guild, Striker, Aerial, and Bushido styles + all 3 level of each SA hunter art, then finally thoughts on each style as a choice over the other.
***MISSING:
- You can do a morph to sword from the chop finisher by pressing R
- You can do a quick transition to the discharge after the AA combo in sword mode
- Reload in air is fast and convenient (all style, including aerial vault)
- Bushido evade while sheathed, it's like a draw attack so X for axe, R+X+A for sword
Happy hunting!

nhat dang minh Excellent layout. Thank you.
lol, có tâm, tks a lot
you da real MVP
Switch first, Axe questions later.
Lol, well played
Switch first. Axe questions while switching
EYOOO
Wow that pun hurts
happilydisgusted Switch first, Axe questions while switching.
I'm really happy to see my favorite weapon is freaking awesome in Cross, although I'm also sad that they basically made the Axe mode obsolete, since my favorite part of the SA is the fact that it has two forms
+skill392
Seriously, and it was really starting to get decent again. I mean, I definitely appreciate the chopping finisher buff and raising the motion values of axe attacks again, but all of the arts seem to focus specifically on sword mode. Worse yet is that the motion values of sword mode don't seem to have been reduced any, but I'm pretty sure at least one has actually gone up.
Furthermore I am insanely bothered by the fact that they have continued to utterly invalidate the elemental phial. It's ridiculous that they still haven't figured out how dumb gimmicks like that are just as bad as the power / arc shot divide on bows were - it makes or breaks like half if not more of the weapon's selections. I mean it doesn't even have the utility versus damage benefit that charge blade has to make up for that.
***** Yeah, right? It's like, why even have different phials if Power is the only viable one?
+Opheliac Dan the charge blade actually in mhx is pretty much doing damage with the axe so if you watch a video of someone using charge blade, the person is definitely using most of his time in axe mode (like 60% of his time)
the sns attacks of charge blade were really nerfed so it isnt worthy just doing damage with it like in mh4u
also, guard point leads to axe mode now, so even if you just want to use guard points you will have to change back to sns after it
+Opheliac Dan do you want your kids saying that they just got a new SWITCH BLADE in the game they are playing
The hack and slash (with finisher) is still easily the highest dps combo in the game and charges your hunter arts like no other.
I was just watching a few of your MH4U tutorials again a couple days ago and I have to say you've improved incredibly in confidence and quality, I love this video!
Thanks!
+gaijin hunter HEY! WTF HAPPENED TO MONSTER HUNTER STORIES!!! BET YOU FORGOT IT LIKE ALL OF US! WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY??!!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THA HYPE FOR MH STORIES?!!!!(sry for the shouting or caps lock but what happened to the mh stories videos?)
+matthew vang now that there is MHX the attenction is about it. #mhstoriesforwest
#mhxwithGrank
Amazing tutorial gaijin, your quality has improved drastically over time.
Can't wait to see the other weapons tutorial, keep up the nice work!
I don't believe you mentioned, you can transition straight into sword mode out of the Axe mode chop-combo finisher. It's pretty cool. On top of that, Sword mode's double slash attack transitions smoothly into elemental discharge. It's much faster than if you try to activate Elemental discharge from another move or just standalone. Normally the hunter has to pull the weapon back, then thrust to perform the elemental discharge. If you do the double slash right before it, the hunter will not have to pull the weapon back, instead going straight into the thrust, saving probably a whole second of animation time. I'm sure both of these were the case in 4U, and I don't see why that wouldn't still be in this game.
+Laggalot101 Exactly my thoughts! Thumbs up bro!
+ Laggalot101 He also neglected to mention that you can press X during the chop-combo to end it in a much more standard vertical chop, continuing your axe combo without knocking everyone around online using the special finish. While not as flashy or strong, it keeps up the attack on vertical/ moving opponents without disturbing teammates or taking as long to recover.
+Laggalot101 I was just coming to comment this stuff myself! Thanks for saving me time. ^_^ Although, I'm also pretty sure the sword mode double-hit also can transition into a morph attack, IIRC. I could be wrong, though.
It'd be nice if he mentioned all this stuff was removed, if it turns out that's the case. :
Dayumm Gaijin, you have improve so much since the tutorial of MH4U, real happy how you have grown since then. Great video and keep up the good work!
You're commentary has gotten so much better since the Chargle Blade mh4u video. I'm very impressed.
Lol, didn't he not talk in that one?
+Andrew T he did in the "ultimate" charge blade tutorial
What’s a chargle blade XD
I've been using Aerial SA in the Narga demo. So much fun. Can't wait to get this next month!
Great tutorial, the Switch Axe looks amazing! I can't wait to see my beautiful Heavy Bowgun.
+Rodger Gamin HBG = LOVE
+Rodger Gamin Me too bro, HBG is my favority long range weapon.
+Kabilan Tamilarasu LBG = LIFE
***** :( lol now i want to play it too! anyways do u know wat the 3rd hunting art does? Acceleration shower for hbg
It's suck now.No one use it online any more
Great SA Tutorial! I main SA and am intrigued by the fact that you used aerial style so much. Cant wait to play MHX or the next iteration as soon as it comes out for the West! Definitely will give aerial style a chance!!!
+geebergeistify i would have never guessed I would use aerial SA, it surprised me too, but that was my bread and butter!
Bushido swaxing a tigrex may just be the most fun thing any monhun game has ever seen. Its amazing.
Not sure if this is asking for too much but can you show what buttons are being pressed as you're doing it in the tutorial?
I was going to stray from SA since it was my main on 4U. But now after seeing Aerial style, I think I found my "it needs to go down" weapon. Keep up the awesome videos! Can't wait for the next one!
Been going through old 8-4 podcasts and it was dope to hear you on one! :D
Thanks! I’ll be on again!
Sweet video. The quality is a lot better than when I first started watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Also, I've been hearing good things about the SnS in X so I can't wait until you tackle that.
2 things:
1) the double hit combos into elemental discharge very quickly when you hit X+A after it.
2) Tranc slash is actually a lot better than gaijin makes it out to be. You can turn the attack multiple times during the combo with inputs from the circle pad (you can turn 180 degrees if you need to), so if a monster stays in relatively the same spot, you can turn to hit a weak point, get a flinch and hit with more of the combo. With demon riot active, you can turn the combo another time.
Hot damn! I havent touched a Switch Axe since tri. I need to get into it again.
In tri and ultimate this weapon was fire. In 4 ultimate CB is just better generally but you can have fun with it anyway.
+Mxb _ *tri and 3 ultimate
Mxb _ Yeah. I guess thats why I stopped using it.
You should retry it ^^
I am making one right now. Gonna take a while to make one.
Great tutorial, but one thing you didn't mention about Aerial Style is that you can do an elemental discharge in the air while in Axe mode. Press X+A after jumping off a monster while in Axe mode and you'll do a discharge just like in Sword mode.
+Bridges7890 wowza~! I never jump using axe so i never knew :o
+gaijin hunter So you are going to do the other weapons as tutorials also?
Super keen to see the rest of your MHX uploads! You've hit the professional edge dead-on! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for this video. I have learned so much from this.
You're sa intro along with the trans slash was the ultimate hype fuel XD
ok, as a SA pro, there's TWO BIG things you missed in the video (and as a tip&tricks) :D
1) when there's RELOAD jump from a cliff/ledge and press X+A to reload (or just R if you're already in axe mode), you will reload faster than manually doing it on the ground, it's just a BIT faster, but really it helps a lot
2) i have no idea why this move isn't included in the vid and not many people do this combo....
(sword mode) A then A for the two slash attack and then immediately X+A for the discharge attack
(meaning in sword mode do >> A >> A >> X+A) this brings you into the discharge attack so MUCH faster than you normally do a simple X+A
i always do a X+A for discharge finisher attack after the double A slash, i mean like... it's a MUST if you want to use that D: !
+Zerus Zephyrs the finisher; yeah this is a combo i forgot to include but i had it in my MH4U video. thanks for adding it for everyone here!
maybe add the 4 moves you forgot as a side note into the video? (as the white edit note in YT) o_o?
(i doubt no one's going to read my multiple&long comments LOL)
I'm sure you already know this, but your videos are enormously beneficial to noobs like me. XD Thanks
Kaileb i'm in no way a noob, but I'm trying to learn every weapon and his videos are still incredibly useful.
The Switch Axe was the first weapon I got really good with and became my go-to weapon whenever I was getting into hard content and needed an edge. The speed, the power, the versatility of the SA cannot be overstated. It's one of the easiest to learn and definitely rewarding for the player to use. It has very little in the way of defense, which is good because it teaches you to dodge and find openings, and in MH Gens / X it combines very, very well with Aerial. You get only one Art, but it's more like flavoring. The discharge can be done with the jump but it's better to just save it up and use the Trance Slash Art which ends with the explosion attack as long as you have enough charge. The combo attack before the elemental discharge is really satisfying and really feels like you become a juggernaut for just a few moments.
This video is really very impressive. Well done Gaijin Hunter.
Thanks!
a just wanted to comment and say how very much I appreciate gajinhunter!! thank you so much and keep doing what your doing your awesome! oh and I like how you said that you use switch axe aerial style, its all I use too...
I love the visual quality and editing work done in the video. #MHXForTheWest
I still haven't touched Generations yet, but these videos popped up. Just when I thought I would switch to Gunlance, I watch this video after it and now I'm thinking about staying with my Switch Axe.
Waiting for the release in the West. I can't wait to see all the new moves and styles added. Especially for the sword and shield. Thanks for the video.
As a guy maining this weapon since it came out, I was really happy they made it powerful again in MHX. Aerial and Striker styles are my favorite for this weapon.
PS In MH4, 4G and 4U almost nobody was using them :(
Wow, they made it really hard for me to not use Switch Axe for the third game in a row. These styles and arts make it seem like an absolute blast to play. I just with axe mode got love, but whatever. Maybe your future tutorials can convince me to try other things while going through single player.
SA has become so powerful in Guild or Striker style thanks to the arts pretty much giving you a permanent, powered-up sword mode to beat enemies' faces with.
thanks for this tutorial. I'm playing almost only DB and was searching for a new weapon and I will try it out
Just played some hunts (aerial) and I have to say it realy rocks (hehe fought against Uragaan). Thanks for the "new" weapon
so happy the sa is powerful again! and even better news since the hns final attack got buffed cause I use the axe more than the sword anyway.
Switch Axe Arial Style is my fav. I cant wait to make these monsters bow with the power of the Mighty SwithAxe! My fav weapon from since MH3U, man, cant wait for MHX to come to the west!
This is definitely a weapon I will have a good time in Guild Style with. All I need is a stylus and the A button.
o.O Switch Axe feels so much smoother and looks cooler than ever in X.
+华鸣扬 Pretty sure any weapon looks smooth in the right hands
I know right? I really hope they'll bring MHX to the rest of the word
Umbreon Fanatic xD I only use greatsword so I never notice which weapons are held with left hand.
华鸣扬 i was referring right hands as in a good player (someone that can actually use it) not the direction "right"
Never played Switchaxe before, never even used it in MH4U but im totally going to master or at least attempt to in Generations. So hyped.
The switchiest of axes reigns supreme! If the west gets MHX Ultimate, I am SO maining Switch Axe.
There's no Ultimate version, but the game would released this summer on the west.
Nido Hime
Too bad I sold my 3DS. Well, if I really want this, I'll just have to buy another.
Very nice tutorial Gaijin, you and Arekkz are killing it with the amazing work you guys do. As well as all of the P. Platoon team. Thank you. Also Can you cover CB next? or which do you want to do next?
+grinsell056 CB is on my upcoming list, but i want to really get it first, so it might take a little time!
I'm just now getting the hang of Switch Axe in MH4U.
...and BOY I cannot wait to try Aerial style.~
I recently broke HR cap, and all through the game, I found myself drawn to one weapon/style: Striker Switch Axe. The Demon Riot/Energy Charge combo is god, and using Castle Walls in the third slot is beautiful compensation for the lack of a shield...
(sorry for a lot of comments, I just kept commenting while watching) xD""
ok, another BIG thing missed if a player wants to use SA as in Bushido style
4) (bushido) if your weapon is sheath, when you do the perfect evade then counter as X you will do the axe's finisher move right?
BUT, if you press R+X+A you'll do the up-down sword attack instead (and you're right in sword mode instead of the axe mode!)
>> helps alot, for example, you are recovering after you ate a great potion, then white narga attacks you, do perfect evade then press R+X+A for the up-down move counter and you're already in sword mode to do more sword moves/combos/attacks :3 !
Hey gaijinhunter, thanks for your videos. I just wanted to mention that in the MHGen Demo, during Trans Slash, you can change the directions pretty easily while you're attacking, so you can keep hitting the monster even if it's moving slightly. Of course it's still bad but it's not super useless, I think.
When he said "useless" I don't think he meant to say that it was absolute poo poo, but rather a somewhat sluggish Hunting Art that requires sometime to unleash it's maximmum damage output.
In my opinion, Demon Riot + Trance Slash = Ultimate Hunting Art, considering the range of the explosion, hitting EVERYTHING in 360º degrees instantly... there is no escape, nor monster or hunter are safe xD
im glad i still have some form of elemental discharge as aerial cuz that was my jam in mh4u
This video was great. Very in-depth look, I'm gonna give Striker Switch Axe a try when I get the game. Could you do a Hammer tutorial next, please?
im just going to stick with what i allready know well from the other games, switch-axe and longsword.
They both look absolutely amazing.
Not sure if this is common knowledge, but even though you lose the double chop in Sword mode in Striker style, you can just hit A once, and immediately go into the elemental discharge, compared to having to do the double chop into the elemental discharge.
Just a minor little thing, if people like using the demon sword mode into elemental discharge, striker style makes it a bit faster.
you might anna add that you can go to sword from the chop combo u can pres R more than once to go into sword as well and also in sword mode, when you do the double a attack and go to x+a before the second swing is done you can directly go to the elemental discharge and the character skips the animation where u draw back the sword to thrust (unless they took that out in MHX)
No screaming goat? What is this?
I like the theme, narration and gameplay!
A great tutorial and i realy like the new pace of u explaining things (the magic of video editing xD)
but sadly there is one thing i dont like,
if u want to use an moving background while the game record is playing.
after the motion finished it restarts and thats realy annoying, i would be great if u could make it so, that the start and the end fuse into each other, so that it looks like it would never end. ^^
With the switch axe you can do the chop finisher with R. but if you press R again it will switch into sword mode as a retreating slash (slash before the double slash) where you can perform an elemental discharge. "at least in MH4U and probably guild style."
I have to say, your editing skills have improved greatly. I'm getting into this weapon in MH4U ... (waiting for MHXUGFU or whatever we'll get, I hope ...)
Where is my Great sword tutorial. I wanna see great sword gameplay haha. Good video, well done.
I'd like to add that in Striker style, you can do a quick transition to discharge after a simple side swipe. This can't be done in guild mode,
Great tutorial. The only thing you didn't mention was the quick discharge after the double slash.
I can't decide on using Swax, CB, or IG for my plow through solo. They're my main 3 in 4U and I love all 3, even with the nerfs to CB and IG. I'm too indecisive!
I'm not sure this has been mentioned or not but you can morph after a Bushido evade attack. From sword mode you do the 2 hit combo then press R for a third downwards morphed axe strike. You can also morph after the axe mode Bushido evade attack with R.
One last thing you missed: after the chop combo in axe mode, if you stop pressing A and press X once, you'll go straight to the downward chop. I doubt Striker can do this, but the other modes probably have this, I'd wager. It was in 4U.
Man this is making me play more monster hunter! Thanks
I feel like this would work well with the hunting horn. That infinite chop attack and a stamina buff from a horn on a downed monster would probs do insane damage
I don't like how you have a weapon that's called Switch Axe that has 2 modes, but one mode is so much better that it invalidates the other one. What's the point? I feel like the Charge Blade is what the Switch Axe originally intended to be but they focused too much on Sword mode. They could just called it Energy Sword or something at this point..
I agree. When my bro told me he only uses sword mode since axe mode is useless in comparison to the former, I thought to myself "what's the point of axe mode then". I main CB so it didn't make sense to me until I saw this video and I tried SA. This weapon looks really fun though.
+Mario Paul it might be fun yes, I used to be SA main back in Tri myself but now I hate the thought of only using half a weapon because I know it could have been so much better. they could have created cool hunter arts for the Axe Mode but instead soley focused even more on the sword
The axe allows you to move slightly faster and I feel like it has a liiittle more reach. The chop combo thing is also insanely good (I don't think he mentioned, but you seem to have a slightly faster morph coming out of the spinning move, and allows you to go straight into the basic sword x combo). Honestly though, either weapon would be acceptable separate from the other.
Damage-wise it's objectively leagues better than the axe-mode. Demon-Riot/Energy Charge murdered the axe-mode completely. In MH4U it was at least a bit useful to whip out some pretty good element/status with the stamina-chops,and the axe-finisher was rad, but in Gen it's not even worth talking about. It's kinda funny, the Switch Axe is named Switch Axe but no one cares for the Axe-part, and the Charge Blade is called Charge Blade even if the blade is only useful for phials since the Superburst is gone from the swordmode, and the Axe is where it's all at.
Very nice tutorial :D. But there are two things that bother me a bit. In guild style in Axemode after you do the roundhouse R attack, can you not press R again to switch into Swordmode? And in Swordmode, after you do the double A swipe attack and then do the discharge, is it not coming out much faster than when you normaly do it? I watched again your MH4U tutorial on SA and you coverd those two things
So the Najarala was kicking my ass with my gunlance. After watching this tutorial I decided to give Aerial Switch Axe a go... HOLY SHIT DOES IT KICK ASS! that move the Najarala does to trap people between it was useless against me because I kept jumping out of the way! I think I mounted it like 6 times! I've just found a new favorite style.
Can't wait to see the video for Long Sword.
I fell in love with aerial switch axe when I tried it in the demo. Switch axe was my main in 4U but when I saw how "meh" people were about the Trance Slash art, I started to get really worried if I should really consider using it. Then Demon Riot was revealed and I started to become a bit more interested. But it was only when I played the demo and got to actually try it for myself that I started to like switch axe again. And when I tried aerial style, I knew I had found my main right then and there. Once I started using it in the game I never looked back. I use a number of other weapons and styles, but aerial switch axe is generally my go-to setup. Lately I've also been using adept switch axe a lot and I love how aggressive I can be with this style. Overall, switch axe may very well be my main for life. My only complaint is that the changes to the weapon for Gen made the weapon too focused on sword mode and axe mode is just non-existent, which makes me sad because I know from experience that axe mode is a lot of fun. So I hope that in the next Monster Hunter game they will add in a few buffs for the axe mode.
Honestly, what I enjoy about the Switch-Axe is the versatility of being able to use both modes and the fun of choosing which mode is right for the situation. Aside from Bushido mode's axe attack, it seems like Generations really tipped the scales too much towards sword mode, especially with the Energy Charge hunting art.
+Jose Tomas Di Paola Axe mode still has the range though for chopping those tall/airborne monsters tails off, or even knocking down a flying monster that's trying to flee. Sword mode has nothing on that.
don't forget the awesome DPS of the infinite chops of doom
indeed :D
the bane of downed monster as I call it
Thank god in mhxx the axe mode is viable again...was a sa main but didn't use it in cross due to the fact that you would only use sword mode. IM BACK BABY
You always say watch out with the attacks that can knock allies into the air but I often use them, to everyone's surprise but delight as well, to hit them into the air right next to the monster when they're no ledges or anything around to jump off of. I know not everyone likes that but so far no one has complained about me doing it.
I'm really excited that the weapon I first started hunting with and still main got so good in MHX and it stays good with any style
one little side note i would like to add bushido style sa makes it where axe is actually up to par with sword because you can do a infinite chain between sword and axe giving axe mode more value than it used to i like to balance between both in bushido style instead of just staying in sword mode
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR TOTORIAL, GOOD SIR.
You can also do A>X>(continuos combo>R>R to go right into sword from axe and start doing sword combos. It is an attack, does pretty good dmg, but I don't know the 'motion value' on it.
Can't wait to see a video on lbg or bow, hoping be strictly gunner on this game.
I started using this weapon recently despite never touching it in 3rd, 4, 4G. Holy shit the damage is insane, especially arial SA.
Very nice tutorial! A bit disappointed you didn't mention the status phials (not hard to understand at all, but it's still a thing), but otherwise neat. I found it really cool that you showed all styles a bit, as well.
And since SA seems to be beyond broken in Guild/Striker style, this might be the first time I deliberately use broken tactics - before, I always avoided them to have more fun hunting, but this seems too awesome to pass up. Of course, all depends on Capcom, but I'll just wait.
Also, I dunno if you've already prepared specific weapons or anything, but I'd love to see you cover Bow next. It's the weapon that got me into MH3U, and despite the online bullying against non-Regios bow users, I kept coming back to it, so I really wanna see just what this thing is capable of, especially since the selection of coatings seems to have expanded quite a bit!
+Kaze Memaryu Bow is my main weapon. Sadly there was definitely a lot of elitism among the MH4U community in regards to Bows. There are a lot of good ones, and a lot of cool niche things you can do, etc., but people all want to be armchair critics and discourage creativity.
There's a new arrow type in MHX, called Heavy arrows. From my understanding, it is just one large, heavy arrow that you fire, but it does much more damage than all the others per hit. For instance, a Heavy 1 shot would have the same motion value as a Pierce 5 shot! At least, if I understand what I've seen from the Japanese wikis to be true. The downside is that Heavy arrows have a short range, like Spread, so they are not easy to use for novices.
adam paolucci That's definitely interesting! Sounds like something that would be absolute killer with Bushido Style!
+adam paolucci Ugh I'm not looking forward to the generations elitists after 4 (most of which had never played monster hunter prior!) Unfortunately I see generations being worse with the new styles. "U shuld be using adept for bow its the only gud style" It was bad enough where some would bash you just for honing life into your weapon. Hell they have the audacity to call some skills nooby! I had someone bitching at me because I like minds eye/steady hand because it stops you from bouncing. only to be told "you shouldnt hit those areas anyway" damn I hate elitists...
BlaizeTheDragon I've already started noticing people hating on several Bushido weapons for being "noob-friendly". Last time I checked, Bushido requires good reflexes and quick thinking to be effective, but they always find something to complain about.
Kaze Memaryu This game is designed to be played however you want. If you like Bushido/adept, strike, guild or arial then go for it! Don't let other players tell you what you can and can't use because that defeats the point of the game.
Regular Narga Axe + Silverwind Narga Armor with Crit +30% and Crit Dmg up +Energy Recharge makes it 100% Crit with increased Crit Dmg ( if it stacks tho)...
Can also be used with guild or striker style since you will get Demon sword and you have evade +2 anyways
Can't wait for the Insect glaive and Charge Blade Turorial
I see you fell in love with the Variant Daimyo armor
+AkatsukiKaizoku yep it is my staple, that and the lagombi for aerial!
What the holy fudge, you can stack ALL 3 styles with the swax??
Dammit, White gale Narga, i'm coming for your armour set so I can Guild style this thing.
Now I know how to play switch-axe in Monster hunter Generations ultimate because I played the switch-axe in Worlds too
I thought adept longsword was fun, but adept switchaxe is absolutely amazing
So I've been playing the demo and I find that I like trusty ol' guild style the most. You can really abuse the twirl chop and you can do the "demon riot" and "trans slash" combo fairly consistently. It's good stuff. I was expecting to like adept mode the most, but having the twirl chop used only after the evade really limited my damage output. I will experiment more, but I thought I would put my own experience out there as an axe lover in a sword-mode world.
Really? I felt like going up against monsters like Narga, Zinogre, and Mizufune (bubbles), adept SA would makes it 10x easier and the evade chop closes the distance whenever those monsters move around
It is actually. I just couldn't adept evade for the life of me when I wrote that comment. I still feel like adept style for SwagAxe needs a bit more "oomf" to it.
randomd00d19
yea, they shouldve done a bit more with the axe mode i think. The coolest thing wouldve been to add more combos to smoothly transfer from axe into sword mode and back
Losing the upward slash for the Sword Mode for Bushido Style is a bit off...
But the Perfect Evade means that I could dodge any attacks. Hunting a Tigrex, Narga, & Tama with BS is fun.
Demon Sword is a bit hefty to use in AS & BS since there's no Energy Charge. Translash is easy to use for Aerial SA.
One combo you didn't cover in your video tutorial, not even in your "missing" comment below - and it is a gamechanger:
In Striker's sword mode you can immediately use X+A after the A side slash.
So with Striker, you can spam the crap out of the elemental discharge, faster and more frequently than with any other style.
Striker became SO MUCH FUN after I discovered that shortcut :D
Please add this info to your ***MISSING list!
Man, I NEED this game in my life XD
One key thing you missed: You can go into the X combo during the chop combo at any time, so it's not useless for Striker/Adept
I'm spoiled...I'm already expecting another tutorial, it's like waiting for MH4U all over again!
I tend to use axe mode and sword mode equally especially the axes slashing with the finisher. That demon blade, energy charge combo looks like it could be devastating! Just wish I could have both with Aerial style :/
I don't remember but I think you didn't mention that: at least in guild style after the double slash (Sword mode) you can press x+a to chain in it to a combo burst.
Wow, striker style is literally MH3U switchaxe. I have no complaints, back to my routes I go!
That's it, it is decided, SA Aerial is going to be one of my mains, its just so damn powerful but then again....SA striker style is tempting due to those OP Hunter Arts like goddamn.
One thing does concern me though, as much as I want to main SA Aerial, I have to admit, it looks broken. Does the game still feel challenging even with that style?
Idk man, aerial dual blades allow a massive amount of mounts during a hunt as well. Feels amazing
+AshKetchup aerial db = attack on titan mode >_< much spining
koyint its so much fun tho
Phenomenal tutorial. Really good job man 10/10
nice Tutorial with motion value and commentary!
Oh yeah. The Switch Axe is, so far, my favorite weapon in MH4U so far. Very powerful and could take down most monsters faster then most weapons. I am still learning all the combos (since learning about the combos and doing them are VERY different), but I will say I am liking how smooth most of the attacks on the Switch Axe were. And I am glad that in MHX it is still doing good. Guild is like the normal, and some of the moves being removed in Striker, Aerial, and Bushido don't seem to be THAT much of a lost. Aerial seems really good, and Bushido seems alright. The arts, they seem alright. Demon Sword is of course going to be the most useful, especially if it is fully charged. And I don't know, maybe the Tran-Slash can be useful. I can see it used as a power move on stunned or trapped monsters. Maybe I can see potential, maybe I like to use useless moves and make them useful, maybe I'm just weird, I dunno. But again, great video Gaijin. Keep up the good work.
can you show off one of the following three weapons for your next video?
Either Lance, Gunlance, or SNS would be apriciated. I'd like to see how each of those hold up in this game with the different styles. I would love to try out a guard based arial style Gunlance, but I'd like an idea of how it works first. ^_^
you can go from the big giant swing from axemode to the downward of swordmode by pressing R
You sold me on it. Since we donde have X (yet) on the west i'm gonna try it on 4U
looks like bushido will be the go to for an axe mode playstyle, granted you are fighting an aggressive monster like narga or brachy.
