Personal theory: The series was put on hold specifically to come back with Val Hazaak so that there could be jokes about the series dying then coming back to life. A little overboard for a bit, but I appreciate the commitment.
Vaal is actually the first Elder dragon that I beat first try, but I almost died so many times because he kept tossing me into the spicy salt water and I was screaming the whole time
Welcome back, Gabe! I hope you are feeling better now. Your fellow hunters were waiting for you. Having fun in Iceborne? I sure am :D Now, please, guide us through those fantastic monsters like you used to! Have fun and take care. Greetings from an IG main
i was afraid you were just going to recommend dragon blindly, so i'm glad you pointed out that it's only effective once parts are broken and the extra bit about the elderseal
Gabe... I love this series so much! am so happy you are bac... *sob* I wish you are okay and enjoying this game again... I watched monster matchup before I can afford to build myself a PC about 2 years ago. This series is one of the reason I started playing MHW. Also MM really help me went through some difficult monstie, while sometimes I laugh at your jokes (that I really find funny) and sometimes I have fun watching you get wrecked by some *cough-cough easy 1st try slaying Legi*. I felt my heart broken and my spirit shatter when I learned I learned that you stop making this series ESPECIALLY before you made the Nerg... The spiky boi wrecked me like a baller he is and without your guidance, I was stuck in that wall for a long... long time... I beat the crap out of him in the end and finish the game... In that time you weren't posting I remember going back to watch some of the videos from MM (especially B-52) and heck this one time I binge watch this entire series in a night... I was so happy when the "come on and slam" video came up and I thought you were back with all the Iceborne hype... But I was wrong... and boi does my patience pays of... Once again... I hope you keep making videos but of course your happiness should be put above everything... Help you enjoy making this series as much as I love to watch it... Thanks Bruh... HAPPY HUNTING!
Welcome back! Glad to have you with more monster mashup and of course back in the Hunting Horn corner! The world needs more of us HH mains! Long may the best weapon reign!
Am I the only one that's watching this video for the 3th time in one single day and feeling great that it's back. A piece of my childhood is coming back...
This was fantastic, my good man. Your humor always makes my day brighter. Thanks. I still can't decide if I like Val or hate him. Kinda makes me miss playing MH though, seeing this. Might pick it back up again.
Glad to see you’re back Gabe! Also, another big tool to use in the fight that you forgot about was the forgotten glory known as the Immunity mantle, which negates the ellfuvia effect.
Astera Jerky can also help in getting rid of the red health while also increasing your natural recovery, saves you an extra slot for other items but cannot be crafted unlike immunisers, it just really depends on what you prefer
Yaaaaay! Finally, one of my favorite Monsters... A beautiful and (imo) misunderstood creature, a keystone of its ecosystem (in both its variants) and integral part of keeping the New World as a whole alive and thriving... Thank you for coming back, not least because I have been waiting for the day when you might finally cover this Noble Stankbeast ;w;
I'm so thrilled the series is back, and now learning that Gabe is a HH main makes me feel proud of my main weapon enough to flex on my GS wielding boyfriend an tell him he's the "support weapon". Welcome back, Gabe!
I really want to thank you that you made this series because it really helps me a lot on my own hunts and I really like how you give tips it's really effective
already started the way i was hoping , with a meme XD I F knew wit , i was missing some styff against him , this ribs on hte roof i had ZERO idea they exist down his place ... i such a dingus , thanks again to my my suffering less painfull gabe =D
While I am happy to see you return to this. Never be afraid to take time for yourself man. True fans will understand. Your well being is more important than the content. And if you're not well ya can't make good content anyway. But for now. Welcome back Gabe
Y'know, I'm actually really relieved that he uploaded this vid. Even though I completed the base game and Iceborne expansion. Glad you're actually continuing this series!
Welcome back, nice work video on this elder dragon, ive been off monster hunter for awhile, and still have to try ice boarn out for my channel, so this helps, thanks, looking forward to seeing more of the hunting horn style at work, and that said, sweet return video, looking forward to the next crazy one
I’m extremely happy this series is back, but I also hope Gabe isn’t grinding this out just to finish the series. Gabe, regardless of whether you love or hate this series, we love it and we also love you.
I actually needed this match up months ago now I beated mhw and is half way through iceborne thanks for coming back to help the other low levels keep up the great work gabe.
The fact that you are using a hunting horn made me happy. I know on RUclips people jump on the bandwagon saying that's my main and most the time they are lying. But since MH3 it's been my main and one of my favorite fantasy weapons in all games
The Teostra Hunting Horn has a song called "Negate Statuses" and it prevents you from having to use the miasma jewels...helps for friends who dont have enough or would rather use more useful skills
You have no idea how badly I needed to hear someone else refer to Vaal Hazak as "Van Halen". It never caught on in my friend group and I was the only one doing it and now I feel validated.
Subbed to this channel like a decade ago. Anyway glad you're taking your time doing the monster matchups. On a sidenote I hope you can also look on the weakness at Kiranico since the hunter notes is sometimes inaccurate at the elemental weaknesses
How this thing has any sort of mobility is beyond. The damn thing is practically held together by sinew and dreams (still one of the coolest Monster Hunter designs in a long time).
Glad you're back! I waited over a year for my favorite monster to be matched up, you know :/... BUT! I waited patiently with the rest of us and am exited for more!
Gabe just did a huge big brain play by bringing this series back from the dead with an episode reviewing Vaal Hazak. I mean it really makes sense doesen't it?
I'm happy that the monster matchup is back, but I can only hope that Gabe is doing alright now, the whole pause video got me worried, I'm glad he feels better, tho!
I watched the first Monster matchup with my grandfather years ago. I am happy to say I get to watch this video with my grandchildren now!

Fighting Vaal Hazak is like going to my Great Aunt's house for Christmas:
It smells like cigarettes and I
can feel my lungs filling
with smoke.
You should pack some null berries and go with ranged weapons
@@aronnemcsik its the AT version so range is a bit of a pain to use
Vaal Hazak is literally me on tuesdays idk why no matter what i eat i'm wheezing from both ends
I think you need to go to the doctor bro.

@@MidnightTimez17 So I actually beat Vaal Hazak with Halberion Blade.
He got cremated.
"looks like it came back from the dead, just like this series"
See, this is all part of the plan. 10/10 Intentional Hiatus.
Vaal is actually the first Elder dragon that I beat first try, but I almost died so many times because he kept tossing me into the spicy salt water and I was screaming the whole time
Gabe:
**is actually a hunting horn main and sword and shield is just the side chick**

Just perfect. Im going to turn sixteen as soon as the Video is online.😂
Happy birthday 🤣🎉

I've missed these series!!! Entertaining as always, Gabe. Thanks for the update.
Glad to see you’re back Gabe! Also, another big tool to use in the fight that you forgot about was the forgotten glory known as the Immunity mantle, which negates the ellfuvia effect.
These videos has been a treat for someone going through the game for the first time. Thanks Gabe.
Ah yes, my fellow Monster Hunter, Gabe. Did Grand Meowster's cooking give you a dietary coma?
Astera Jerky can also help in getting rid of the red health while also increasing your natural recovery, saves you an extra slot for other items but cannot be crafted unlike immunisers, it just really depends on what you prefer
Its great to see you back, ill always remember the 1st one. Always makes me laugh watching your videos

Oh wow. Its back. Ive been enjoying your other vids as well. I discovered your channel through monster matchup so Im glad its back.
My reaction to seeing this was an emotional roller coaster. It’s back!
What In the World? (Pun intended) I started getting back into MHW a few weeks ago and found this channel like 3 days ago and you’re back!
Thanks for the Gore Magala Monster Mashup :)
I’m extremely happy this series is back, but I also hope Gabe isn’t grinding this out just to finish the series. Gabe, regardless of whether you love or hate this series, we love it and we also love you.
Glad your doing these again. Always brighten up my day when I watch them.

Valhazzak: Get's annihilated
The rest of the monster: *SWEATING PROFUSELY*
I’ve waited 4000, no, 5000 years for this.
Just as I thought about picking the game up again you release a video. Thanks, I'm a little more hyped to play it now :)
Hooray! You are back! The Return of the King!
well well well what a good timing of having such a bad day and then seeing a new upload from gabe

Super happy that you're back! That being said, please don't feel like you need to rush these. You can take your time, we don't mind!
Been binge watching your other vids and I gotta say it's freaking good, keep it up Gabe! Do what makes you happy.
Thank u for comung back, we needed this
Dude so grateful your back . You are the best ever! Keep being the awesome you that you are!

HE'S BACK, BABY! And I'm laughing harder than ever!
The timing of doing the sick dragon is very nice.
Great video again. Definitely elicited a few chuckles out of me. See you all in 93 more years.
There are Hunting Horns with All Ailments Negated which also blocks effluvia status.
When I first saw this series I started the game now I already finished it but still waited for it to return. This is a great entertainment for me.
*FINALLY YOU'RE BACK, YAAYYYYY*
