    2024 and I'm playing MH4U on my 3ds and it's a banger! Lots of cool monsters that weren't in Rise :) Thanks for the weapon tip vids!

    A really cool thing worth noting with SnS is that you can X+A attack into a ledge to climb up it with an attack in the air. This allows you to mount monsters while they are above you. I believe SnS is the only class that can do this.

    • @spidaTXman
      @spidaTXman 10 лет назад +1

      Yes! All true statements! I wish I could like this comment more, so it would go to the top of the page so people dont miss out on this info.

      all i had to do is press A after climbing a ledge and i found myself doing that attack, also you can preform another aerial attack after both forward dash aerial and climbing aerial making 2 aerial hits in one combo!

    forgot just an important thing m8: when u perform the charged attack, you can actually slightly correct its direction, very useful during long combos.

  • @DashXero
    @DashXero 9 лет назад +1

    I've spent 250+ hours with this game as a SnS main, have gotten to G*2, and I did not know about holding A to charge a jump attack after the back-hop.
    I am glad I have watched this video.

  • @DanielBlak
    @DanielBlak 10 лет назад +19

    Wait what about the step-up jump attack? X+A when walking up a ledge?

  • @wopsieneter
    @wopsieneter 9 лет назад +11

    You forgot the rising aerial slice. When you walk up to a ledge with your weapon drawn, press A as you climb up, you will slice upwards wich will count as a mounting attack and after that you can attack again on your way down by simply pressing X as if in a normal air attack. You can also do this attack if your weapon is sheathed by walking up to a ledge and pressing X+A as you climb up.
    Also the aerial attack where you jump of a ledge by pressing X+A can also hit twice in the air, one time when you go slightly up, and once again on your way down.
    As long as there is a ledge nearby, the SnS is arguebly better for mounting than the insect glaive.

    • @sweetmoonpigeon7469
      @sweetmoonpigeon7469 9 лет назад +1

      I thought that the jumping attack was done where you do the charging slash with X + A towards a ledge to launch yourself up.

    • @wopsieneter
      @wopsieneter 9 лет назад

      Alyks Syriece nope, that doesnt do anything at all. youre gonna have to actually walk up to it in order to jump.

    • @sweetmoonpigeon7469
      @sweetmoonpigeon7469 9 лет назад +3

      Wopsie No, you know the charging slash that you do with X+A? If you do that at a ledge, it launches you up.

    @pyguy7 10 лет назад +8

  • @Chaud31423
    @Chaud31423 9 лет назад +8

    You can also use the Jumping Slash in the opposite direction of a small ledge to do a reverse ledge attack

  • @ElvisTek
    @ElvisTek 9 лет назад

    Nice tutorial. Just to add something here as a main SnS hunter. If you have your weapon sheathed and after climbing up a step you press X+A you perform a jump attack and can hit again the monster in the air.
    with your weapon unsheathed just press A after climbing a step to perform the same move. Or just press X+A to perform the step attack but instead jumping from a ledge, to step up a small ledge, you'll jump
    These 2 makes the SnS the 2nd best mounting weapon..
    To every player thinking "I prefer large hitting weapon because this seems not a weapon that deals damage" well guys you have to think twice. Depending the monster, I get better hunting times than with other weapons. The mobility and elemental damage of this thingy is just incredible... and SO MUCH FUN when you can setup traps, bombs, whatever better than the other weapons.

  • @FestivalTemple
    @FestivalTemple 6 лет назад +1

    You missed the best thing about this weapon: you can mount monsters above you instead of just below you. Use X+A into a ledge, whether you're going up or down it. This means _any_ time there's a ledge between you and the monster, it's a mounting opportunity.

  • @MasaJam1
    @MasaJam1 10 лет назад +16

    You missed the extra hit on the jump attack (2 hit combo), the second hit on the shield bash (two hit combo) and the ability to jump upwards from a ledge and slash.
    Good Videos, but i've noticed you've missed a lot of useful information in most of yoru tutorials, I recommend people watch Gajinhunter's videos for the fully fleshed out tutorials that include everything.

  • @afoninja121
    @afoninja121 9 лет назад

    when pressing x+a off a ledge to do the special jump attack you can press x again for a follow up hit. Also press x+a at the bottom of a short ledge you can climb up without a promp. That lets you do a jumping attack from the bottom of the ledge. Real useful.

  • @atwitchyferret
    @atwitchyferret 9 лет назад +3

    I just starded the game a little while ago and was surprised at how useful this was. I recently was stuck on the first seregios with my hammer, and I just couldn't hit the little bastard. I had the idea to take a little break from trying that and get the zingore hunt-a-thon to get the lightning sword and shield. A million quests later I got the zingore sword and shield and tried the seregios again with it. Holy shit, it couldn't get me off it's ass if it tried. Killed the bastard in 20 minutes and using less than a third of my healing items (which for me is impressive), getting almost all that I needed for the seregios hammer. May have to get more swords and shields for more of the mobile enemies that hammer is bad against. I definitely like the sword and shield better than the longsword which was what I started with.
    The sword and shield seems to me like the safest melee weapon because of it's short animations and block, so you can get out of many sticky situations on a boss you haven't memorized yet.

    • @JustCozItsMe
      @JustCozItsMe 9 лет назад

      atwitchyferret How many other weapon types have you tried? Each one changes the way this game is played alot and they are all well balanced. Though I have to say without the circle pad pro or a New3DS gunning can be a bit rough.

    • @atwitchyferret
      @atwitchyferret 9 лет назад

      JustCozItsMe I've tried the hammer out the most and is what I enjoy using the most. I used the longsword for the majority of the low levels, which when I was able to get the buff strikes off was good, but too inconsistent on many bosses. I've got a decent horn but haven't gotten used to it besides memorizing songs. Probably going to wait on the horn until I get the maestro skill on an armor set. I did a demo of the switch-axe and decided it wasn't for me. I used the sword and shield and liked the safeness of it.
      The reason I like the hammer is just that it's so satisfying to smash enemies in the face repeatedly and knock them out.
      Weapons I plan to try out are pretty much everything melee except for dual swords. I don't usually like doing ranged weaponry in a game like this because it would make me ignorant to a lot of it's attack patterns. That's how it was with Dark Souls for me and there it made me bad at fighting close quarters.
      I'm still planning on getting a circle pad pro sometime because the insect glaive looks fun to use and was hard to aim without it. Tried it because it looked like it would work well against the frenzied deviljho I'm stuck on.

    • @JustCozItsMe
      @JustCozItsMe 9 лет назад +1

      atwitchyferret I didnt really play any range in Dark Souls so I cant really compare it properly but in MH4U with the way aiming works combined with the way monsters move you still have to look for windows in the monsters patterns to properly get the dps. While you will not have to worry as much as melee but with critical distance you are usually close enough to need to pay attention,I have actually learned a few things about some monsters patterns from playing gunner thats helped me against those monsters when I was melee.
      I completely agree about the hammer,theres just something special about getting those KOs thats so satisfying. Smash,thump,slam and the monster is wondering if anybody got the plates on the truck that hit them.
      I havent actually gotten my CPP yet,I only really got into gunner in the last few days and I had been on the line about buying it for general MH comfort as well as fixing the camera problem that smears Majoras Mask for me,Id have no problem with MM3D at all if it wasnt for the cam. Anyway,Im saying that because I it actually hadnt crossed my mind how much a CPP would have a pretty nice benefit for IG. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. From what Ive heard,CPP is a unbelievable improvement in just general QoL for MH4U and it makes being a gunner insanely better. I believe it,touch pad cam controls for aiming make me want to stab my screen.....Its so uncomfortable after extended periods and just doesnt feel right from the start.

    • @JustCozItsMe
      @JustCozItsMe 9 лет назад

      atwitchyferret Got the CPP earlier today,all the hype it gets is completely founded. I highly recommend you picking one up,best deal I found was on Amazon for around $14.

    • @atwitchyferret

  • @erroneousdrunk
    @erroneousdrunk 8 лет назад

    One more thing, if you do a running attack towards a ledge that's low enough, if your spacing is correct, the hunter will jump up the ledge and then get some air at the top and do a slash on the way up and on the way down. Pretty cool way to mount monsters when you're on the wrong side of a ledge.

  • @hoogomoogo
    @hoogomoogo 10 лет назад

    One thing for SnS that You missed is that you can also do the X+A move going up a small ledge (One you can run up) to do a jump attack as well. Makes SnS pretty good at mounting!

    I am loving your videos on the weapon tutorials. They are very informative and simple (if that is a possible combination)! You say to leave a comment for the next possible weapon tutor, I was hoping you would do a Cat video. I know they are weapons, in the conventional sense, but they CAN be seen as weapons, decoys, tools, etc. So, doesnt have to be the next vid, but would you consider doing a video on the cat allys?

    • @ArekkzGaming
      @ArekkzGaming  10 лет назад +5

  • @1003JustinLaw
    @1003JustinLaw 9 лет назад

    You missed one attack: roll into a ledge from the bottom and press A, you will do an aerial attack on the monster standing ABOVE! Press A again and it gives another aerial attack, so in essence a two-hit aerial combo. Really good for mounting.

  • @HeylTom101
    @HeylTom101 9 лет назад +3

    Just some things that were missed.
    R+X is a good opener for your skills. If you R+X X X A A (Starting A combo before the swipe down) you have a fast combo that does not move your character that you can roll out of at virtually any time.
    You should probably use X+A X X A A online though, because it gives you Feet meaning you won't be knocked down by other weapons hitting you for most of your combo.
    The charge attack counts as an evade.
    You can X + A off a cliff, and attack TWICE for more mount damage
    You can X + A up a cliff and also attack twice for more mount damage.
    The third X is really something you want to avoid though, it has low damage and cannot be evaded out of.
    You should basically never use shield slam online as it knocks people around a lot.

  • @AleehFM94
    @AleehFM94 10 лет назад

    You forgot a couple of things.
    You can do the regular attack while jumping even when you jump with X+A, two attacks in a row!
    Also, you can press A to jump when you go up and edge.

  • @amatsu_literature9998
    @amatsu_literature9998 8 лет назад

  • @davideashley6636
    @davideashley6636 9 лет назад

    you forgot to mention between the second sword attack, and the third, your elbow actually deals stun damage when you prep for the third strike.

  • @hughainscough2656
    @hughainscough2656 9 лет назад

    You missed out an attack. if you do the X and A attack while going up a ledge you can press X to do a rising slash attack that counts towards a mount, and X again to do a downward slash (which counts towards a mount)

  • @Xelemend9393
    @Xelemend9393 9 лет назад

    You forgot to cover ledge hops. If you dash attack up a ledge or roll up a ledge you can hop in the air while doing a vertical up slash you can also follow through with another vertical downward slash.
    Great video though.

  • @tenthshadow3764
    @tenthshadow3764 9 лет назад

    You missed one move try and press A and B at the same time but close to the Clift a small Clift you can also slash up a up world slash but you got to stay at the lower level of the Clift while facing the Clift

  • @Slashunter90
    @Slashunter90 9 лет назад

    You want to avoid doing an x+x+x combo in multiplayer since that shield bash before the downward slash can send teammates flying. I usually go with x+x+a+a+a then dodge roll or continue combo with the draw back attack.

  • @TheftJord
    @TheftJord 9 лет назад

  • @bradfordeaster1892
    @bradfordeaster1892 7 лет назад

(Everybody can answer if they want, but give reasoning so I may understand) thank you.

      Plikky Dee That is the Scaly Sword. Sadly, it's not that great. If you're in a group, pack some bombs in your pack and blow that sucker up once you put it to sleep. Yet again, in low rank randoms, you probably can't run a sleep setup without having someone attack a K.O.ed monster.

      Delicious Anatomy But this weapon, however, is the G-Rank counterpart, as with all of the equipment in the demo, just scaled down to match the low rank monster. But I do not think that the demo weapon can actually put monsters to sleep, sadly.

    • @thefalconrage6731
      @thefalconrage6731 10 лет назад +2

      For learning about the combat system i recommend you watching some skilled players on youtube. Its entertaining and you will quickly learn much stuff from it. About the weapon i wouldnt say there isnt any real "noob-weapon" in this game because everyone likes a different playstyle. I for example started with MH3U and instantly picked the Greatsword because i liked its high damage and charging/punishing system so you should just try out which weapon suits you and your playstyle the best. :) (For MH4U I found the GS especially useful because you can just hop on every Monster and do a shitload of damage when it falls down :D)

    • @Chrfow777

    • @familydude-lq7ec
      @familydude-lq7ec 9 лет назад

      Chrfow777 With the mounting system, weapons like the GS, as said above, have been illuminated with even more light. The amount of damage it does to an immobilised monster is just absolutely INSANE! That being said, item set switching is very much vital, especially in this edition. So you can pretty much bet you'll end up using a majority of the weapons depending on what monster you're up against (which is fantastic since there's a lot of new hunters coming along).
      About websites. I'd recommend you watch videos on things you have no experience with, and use forums to discuss strategies and overall questions on things you're not fully adept to. The reason I say it's best to watch, is because MH is a game about seeing and doing. So if you're still a bit intimidated to jump in, you can at least have a perspective and use that in a field, so you don't immediately disappoint yourself, or your friends.

      Also remember that there is no shame in losing a hunt! This is not a game where your character gets stronger from hunting, it's a game where you, the player, become a better and smarter hunter after each hunt! Remember to not get cocky, stay sharp, and learn from your mistakes!
