Preach brother reminds me of the time in 3rd gen the first time I had my hands on the swagaxe slowly learning combos and getting better at it (also I just wanna say that zero sum discharge is one of the coolest sounding name for an attack).
One way to be able to make more predictions is, hunt solo and leave your palico behind. If you are the only target and you know all of the monsters movements, then you can more accurately execute predictive maneuvers. I'm really excited to see him play this, it's one of my all-time favorite games. I hope he gives some other weapons a try at some point.

@@depremere3991 as a player of both, i dont see that because they arent like each other at all. monster hunter is literally closer to warframe than it is any of the souls games. about the only thing they have in common, is the camera angle
And that's why glavenus is one of my favorite fights 10:00 that tail double chop is one of the most satisfying thing to dance around with razor margins. And probbaly one of the best examples of god hitboxes and attack patterns spaced for positional and moveset outplay.
Weapons that do a ton of KO damage are so satisfying when you master them, and Greatsword has to be top of that list. I think if anyone wants to learn Greatsword or the slow weapons in general, Hammer is a great place to start because its more flexible but also teaches you stuff like timing, positioning and predicting.
Yea and people were saying farming will turn him off from MH, they don't know that Asmon is a hardcore MMO grinder who can spend months trying to get a single thing, he is in the zone especially during farming and grinding.
Slinger combo is devastatingly easy to use and gives you crazy repositioning of attack to the point I thought it was a bug when I first started using it
Meh it gives way too mixed results for me. I stopped using it after many many attempts. It has a large chance to flinch the monster which would seem to be good, but that usually means the mob is too far away to TCS as a result of the flinch. Further it will flinch a monster when it is already downed so you cant use it to short cancel into TCS when the monster is already on the floor without risking whiffing the TCS. Ultimately it doesn’t really fit with the only consistent GS play, which is incapacitate the monster with trips, flinches, status effects, claggers, traps, environmental hazards, etc then short cancel into TCS over and over again until the monster is dead, so I never really use it.
GS is one of those weapons that if you keep playing, you'll eventually get that "hunter's intuition" as a lot of players call it. Part of it is KNOWING the pattern, and part of it is like a spidey-sense that tells you to roll left half a second after your TCS to dodge the tailspin
Predictive charges was also known as headlocking the monster back in the day. I loved seeing people face the monster backwards and back swing the greatsword into a head lock.
As a GS main, it's actually way harder to do in multiplayer as the monsters change targets randomly so it's almost impossible to predict their next movement.
yea it wont happen. Someone else could trigger his planned flinch too early. Most of those trick shots were trades, he knew the monster would flinch because he was beating it and getting it close. Unless you are team darkside and your whole team is super coordinated for a perfect run.
Lets be honest. The video is a giant scam. Peak GS play is just get the monster on the floor and short cancel into TCS. Playing like he did is basically the equivalent of rolling a 100 sided die and “winning” when you get 90 or above and “losing” when you get 89 and below. Even if you play for 100s of hours and increase your skills to peak it only means you “win” at 85 and above vs “losing” at 84 and below. GS is just too slow and monsters are too random to do anything more consistent unless you are doing something to hold them in place for long periods of time (ie status effects, environmental traps, regular traps, claggers, trips, etc). Id compare players who main GS who play like this dude to “Win It Big” dedicated casino players. They are in the casino every day and they are always losing money but every now and then they “Win IT BIG” and get a shot of dopamine so they think it was worth all the carts and time spent getting bodied and healing until the stars align just right and they get that big hit on the monster. Hey if thats the kind of play you like more power to you, but LS and hammer do about the same and have far far more consistent gameplay.
@@oriondye3212 well... it wasnt really 10 steps, and he brought non GS tech into vids like head locking elder dragons, or exploiting the free clutch chance when a monster is exhausted. Also, TCGs is its own thing? Basic triangle spammer of step 1 already discovered it. At least it nailed good things like tackle, then slinger combo. Also the "Helicopter". I just wished we focused on things like aiming GS during charge, he did that, but never focused... the side slap, which combos into roll... would be nice. Maybe even useless things like upward slash, so team mates can try uncoordinated mounts. Also charging during jump attack or mount attack.
@@jeremycu4571 i mean im not really getting your comments man. I guess if you just want to mess around and have fun regardless of if you cart three times and fail the hunt for your friends or not you can do all of the things you mentioned. But if you want to actually beat the monster you wouldn’t do any of that. Aiming GS is only for if you position incorrectly. Which 95% of the time if your not perfectly positioned you are too far away from the monster rather so aiming does literally nothing for you. Most people who have “mastered GS” will not have a problem positioning themselves to land their GS hits straight on so aiming is only really for noobs.
@@Spiffo0with full respect, but 90% of people don't even scratch surface of longsword tech like freecam reverse foresight slash and that's easy one...
Remember, when you spend years with a single weapon...you just learn how to do this stuff especially with practice. Hopefully Asmon will become extremly good with the GS for when wilds come out. He already does decent with it for a first timer. edit: holy shit, hes been doing this a week and has 82 hours already? thats crazzyyyyy...Ive got 400 hours and 125 MR, 280 HR. Dude is GRINDING
@@SpadeApeiron exactly you lose so much content from just playing a single weapon, i clocked in 800 hours by using all the weapons. Finally found myself as a gunlance main after starting with hammer
This is why as someone who plays all weapons since gen 2 I don't feel like I need new weapons, I barely scratch the surface of weapons I play the least with.
@@SpadeApeironI'm a bow addict in most video games, but for some reason it just doesn't do anything for me in Monster Hunter World. What am I missing? To clarify "doesn't do anything for me" - it doesn't feel awesome to use, I can't tell where the "power fantasy" is supposed to come with that weapon. Where's the satisfaction?
If you're going for a tank build I strongly recommend mushroomancer and Free Meal. mushroomancer lets you eat Mandragora as max potions and you can hold 10 of em as opposed to real max potions which are both expensive and you can only hold 2 of them. Free meal 3 gives you a 75% chance not to use consumables which enables you to now have even more max healings. It pretty cracked.
They are really nice, and I find it to be way more awesome how they are supportive of new players. I’m just now trying Fatalis, and trying solo, and on sos. When trying sos many times I still get encouragement stickers when I die, and people keep joining the quest.
I wasn't even subbed to Asmon initially and now I'm playing Monster Hunter because of his coverage. Also got at least 2 of my mates into it too. One of his videos just so happened to pop up in my suggestions and here we are!
I remember 10 years ago when I started looking for GS gameplay, it was all about standing and charging at a seemingly random position and the monster just put their head under your sword. Look how far MH has evolved
Monster hunter series was the only game series that rewards you even when u win or fail. It also pushes you to be better. I also love its crafting and repeatable quest
Yeah i can never get tired of these games. Started from freedom unite and basically have most of the series. The game is forgiving in drop rates, following monsters around im always picking up materials for crafting, monster fights arent always exactly the same either which makes repeating quest alright. The vast amount of builds you can create. Just such great game design. Im always waiting for the next mh release with high hopes. Tho mhrise failed me
He's getting it! It's so true what he's said about the game looking janky and boring in videos when you've never played it, both when you see pros and noobs. But once you play it yourself, you really understand just how much there is to playing this game that doesn't show in videos, how incredibly satisfying it feels to master it. And that's when you see videos like this and just fully appreciate how deep the combat can get and how insanely talented these people are, and it's so so satisfying to watch people be good at this game when you've played it yourself.
I love the progression from video 1 to the current playtime. He went from hating on the game to absolutely loving the small, finer details. It really is a great game. And Asmongold, it’s also a lot of fun with friends.
I've been watching the youtube vods and I'm half way through ep 7 right after beating the base game. This has been my favorite gameplay content from asmon since I originally found his content during his original dark souls playthrough. I can't really explain why but the game is very enjoyable to watch someone progress through. I watched ep 1 on second monitor while I grinded a couple other games myself but the next day when I started ep 2 I was so sucked in that I couldn't do anything else while watching and have binged it as main monitor content ever since. I wish I had started sooner because I don't think I'll be able to catch up to his livestream play. I've never played any MH game but this has made me 100% plan to do so in the future.
As much as I'm glad he's enjoying GS, I hope he sticks with the game long enough to try other weapons too. a big part of the fun in MH is how switching weapons can completely change a fight and give a whole new experience
I used to be GS main, learning GS isn't mainly learning the weapon but learning each monster mechanics which makes GS is one if not the only of simplest weapon to use but most complex at see time. You can just tackle, tackle and TCS all the time but still need to learn each monster mechanics
for some reason my comment hidden.. in sunbreak I play IG, it just fun for me. used to play CB back in base world, then switched to GS then used GS back in rise then switched to IG in sunbreak. IG in sunbreak is really fun because the kinsect skills @@jack76thegamer30
7:07 In case nobody mentioned it (too many posts to make sure haha). If the next hit you do makes the monster look like they ran out of breath, if you grapple hook latch on to them, it extends their stun time. I believe this is a hard refresh on how long the stun lasts too (might even be better to say it resets the stun time AND extends it) Hence why the trick is, you see em look dazed/out of breath, latch on and immediately jump off the monster, then wail on em. Hope your stay at MonHun land continues to be enjoyable and epic for you -thumbsup-
I was a hunting horn main users, but after saw Asmon development of GS gameplay it makes me wanna try it out. His experience and genuine reaction make me love Monster Hunter even more
you got me playing again. I played the game a ton when it came out on ps4. Later it came out on PC and I played it again. I beat it and made decent progress. I always loved world and watching you playing everyday made me want to play it again. I also bought iceborne on a sale a year ago and was going to play it with a friend. We never got around to playing it and I didn't want to get far ahead of him. Now he was watching your videos on breaks at work and he brought it up so we both reinstalled and I'm doing iceborne for the first time. Still a fantastic game. The old ones didn't click being on handheld, world is the first one that grabbed me and had me sinking hundreds of hours. Rise also suffers as some of the mechanics aren't as cool as they seem to be initially, and being a switch port it honestly looks worse than world. Thanks for the vids man I'm back to MH. Got this vid on my second monitor.
Actually, as someone played MH for over 10 years, watching new players first MH experience VOD is awasome, seeing the reaction and such bring a big smile on my face. No wonder why your MH VODs get so much views
@@hayom120there are soooooo many other communities I can list worse than this one. Like man you'd have to be forgetting about a lot of them to reach that conclusion. League of Legends (thoughiterally any Moba could go here) Counterstrike Literally any CoD Genshin Impact Dead by Daylight Super Smash Bros Dark Souls World of Warcraft Overwatch These are just the ones I know off the top of my head. I could name many more before monster hunter if you gave me time
I admit, I played the cracked version of this game before and completed it twice (including iceborne, but I only did the grinding lands up to unlocking gold rathian and silver rathalos). Seeing Asmon play the game got me interested in it again and so I bought it on steam and started playing again.
I could never hang with the grinding lands. Never found the time and it takes soooo long to get to rathian and rathalos, the only two things I looked forward to
Iai counter is high risk, low reward in World. If you are already caught in iai stance it makes sense to go for it, but the vast majority of the time you are better off setting up foresight. But in Rise you just spam iai counters.
GS and both bowguns are my main weapons. You can learn both. I kinda prefer GS, but love how with the guns you can change the play style just by switching ammo types
If you wanna tank play lance. As a great sword main go full offense. You either do more damage than anyone else in the hunt, or you die trying like a real man.
I picked up the game because it was the base game and DLC for equivalent of £15. I'd take a guess that the Steam Winter Sale + Capcom sale had a big impact on numbers.
To be fair, that's likely just a montage of moments where everything worked out perfectly, removing all the whiffs. Great Sword is awesome when it works just right, but no pro I ever watched had this sort of 100% productivity.
The amount of hours doesn't change much. You can know the monsters' tells, but they still move around erratically, even more so when enraged. Especially with a weapon like a great sword, that has slow and committed attacks, people are going to whiff, no matter how much they know the monsters. Anyone who actually plays the game will know that.
One, as I already said, that isn't true for very fast or enraged monsters - at least unless you're doing the most boring fight ever, spending 90% of it running and running and dodging and running, only ever attacking when the monster did some attack that leaves it still for 2-3 seconds and you are within range, so you know the attack won't miss. I can't see many beyond the most "I told you I could eat all these nails, now take me to the ER" morons doing that for empty bragging rights. And two, the fact you say "almost" yourself already would prove my point anyway.
I’ve heard of Asmon before, but ever since he started playing mhw, I now love him and I want to go back to play mhw also. Thank you Asmon for the great content, it puts me to sleep😂
to me one thing why the game can be so successful and being replayable is that most of the important parts of the game can be cleared with lower skill level and feel extremely rewarding. And it can also be cleared with higher skill level and also feel extremely rewarding. and theres so many different monsters each with its own unique characteristics and really difficult ones as well that you dont really feel bad or stuck at the game even if you dont clear those.
@@sorrowdada yeah I think so too. Alatreon will be a harder wall to break since you need to consistently hit her with elemental damage and also consider DPS checks. I fucking hate that monster.
I'm a GS main and a CB sub, these 2 are the greatest weapons in MHW. The instant reward of knocking a monster or breaking a part when your biggest attack lands is just something you have to experience yourself
Idk if id say they are the best. More like fucked in your favor because most of them are smaller than they look. Optimally all hitboxes would completely correspond to the body parts and projectiles visually
@daniamataka5377 it is true lol. He is definitely just very good at Soulslike basics. But if he had taken like 30 minutes to do research he coulda upped his game and beaten everything faster. Actually fought Deviljho when he encountered him maybe, etx.
@@markjosephhuerno3391 It was a joke chill bruh. He unga-bunga'd his way through all of MHW somehow with dodge-rolls and draw-cuts. He coulda done it with more grace if he'd spent an hour learning how to play lol
@@diveblock2058 I don't think it is. The moveset is pretty standard. It is a weapon that mostly relies on you knowing the monsters and how they behave. I personally like the charge blade more since it is more complex to use, but also dishes out a lot of damage. All weapons require you to know the monsters, but some weapons also require you to know the weapon itself, and great sword is not one of them imo. For new players I would either recommend the long sword or dual blades. Long sword is pretty nice since it also has moves for s (foresight slash and the iceborne Iai slash which just rely on monster knowledge to use right).
@@Voidstroyer for new players i just recommend sas its simple and easy to use...but i just say choose whatever you like they are all easy to use i strongly disagree with what you are saying about the great sword because as seen in this video there is tech on tech. with most weapons position is important, sure, but in gs positioning is everything. because the weapon is so slow its harder to set up predictions and you have to learn monsters entire attack strings and follow ups and have an effective counter for them all while when playing charge blade its easier to compromise its all fun and games to pull off a dunk with a weapon as fast as the monster with a wide hitbox however when you set up a true charge slash before the monster is even on your screen and it hits perfectly. that requires perfect mastery of the game. to master the great sword is to master monster hunter and if you have full mastery of the great sword every other weapon becomes quite easy to play in comparison tldr there is so much room for error in the gs that its not even close comparing it to smth like the charge blade when it comes to skill ceiling. it easily surpasses every other weapon in terms of mastery (in mhw)
The helicopter slash and slinger combo is pretty neat. One makes you jump way to the side so you have a poor mans fade slash of the long sword, the other allows you to reorient yourself into any direction so after you jumped sideways, you can just do a tcs 90° towards the monster.
It's crazy how big of a skill difference there is from the top (I would say) 2% of the playerbase. Where they've mastered a complete understanding of the monsters to the point where they not only predict the monsters next attack but also know exactly where to stand to avoid the attack and punish the monster at the same time. Not to mention how they can manifest the monster to flinch or topple whenever they need it to, which takes a memorization of how much hits they've done to certain parts.
Pickle's hitboxes in 3U are so perfect that someone with an overall notion of his entire moveset can just kill him in the Jaggia quest with low rank gear easily without carting once
As a greatsword hunter, you not only need to know your weapon by heart, but also really knowing what you’re up against. Truly studying each monster and their weaknesses.
"this guy is a god at MH" - dude does the most basic shit for 80% of the video xD wtf... my GU plays match that stuff, does that mean i'm a god now? :^) edit: to be fair, hadn't reached point 10 yet, those are some nice plays, but the other points were crazy basic xd
@@projectphyrexia yeah i get what you mean, and it's understandable✌️ But fr, if you watch his runs, he's very very good, especially on sunbreak where people where using only counter bombs instead of playing the actual weapon , he's a very good scripter also 🫡

MHW is blowing because; 1. New MH announcement. 2. MHW currently has a MASSIVE discount going on, so lots of new players. I got the base game and expansion myself for like 30$. 3. It's easy to go back and play it. So people hear it's blowing up with new players, old players come back. 4. Game good.
I have witnessed him playing tons of different games (of course WoW for the most part) but I cannot tell you when was the last time when he was really into something like MHW. It is really great to see those genuine smiles when figures out something or just being blown away by how great this game is in general. Wtg Asmon, wtg!
So with the tackles its hard to see exactly what he did, but on the first monster he hyper armored the hit from the monster, in the second one he hyper armored the roar, which would normally stagger him. It also helps to advance the charge level.
Ill admit it, i got back onto Monster Hunter after seeing Asmon give it a go. I have 350+ hrs at the time Iceborne came out and put it done after a few Fatalis kills. But damn watching his vods gave me a massive urge to reinstall and ive been playing along side his vids. So happy he finally did it!

@@hua.. this is wrong. GS does KO via tackles and punish draw via frostfang armor skill.
I love how he's so deep into the game now that he's farming weapons.
Yea and people were saying farming will turn him off from MH, they don't know that Asmon is a hardcore MMO grinder who can spend months trying to get a single thing, he is in the zone especially during farming and grinding.
@@GuyWithAnAmazingHat Yeah, I don't get how somebody can say he'd be turned off by the grind because of what you just said. It's up his alley.
Slinger combo is devastatingly easy to use and gives you crazy repositioning of attack to the point I thought it was a bug when I first started using it
Yeah if he's got some monster dropped pods like bomb or piercing it's a straight up free TCS
Bro Know when to land the tcs in the weak spot is not cheat
@@isaacgarcia9234 Whatever you say, fanboy. XD
Meh it gives way too mixed results for me. I stopped using it after many many attempts.
It has a large chance to flinch the monster which would seem to be good, but that usually means the mob is too far away to TCS as a result of the flinch. Further it will flinch a monster when it is already downed so you cant use it to short cancel into TCS when the monster is already on the floor without risking whiffing the TCS.
Ultimately it doesn’t really fit with the only consistent GS play, which is incapacitate the monster with trips, flinches, status effects, claggers, traps, environmental hazards, etc then short cancel into TCS over and over again until the monster is dead, so I never really use it.
its very important in late-game fights where monsters move really fast
GS is one of those weapons that if you keep playing, you'll eventually get that "hunter's intuition" as a lot of players call it. Part of it is KNOWING the pattern, and part of it is like a spidey-sense that tells you to roll left half a second after your TCS to dodge the tailspin
Finding vids like these as a gamer is like tapping into the archives of past explorers. Limitless power at our fingertips 😂
No, not really. XD
Humanity's greatest power is our ability to learn from the past.
Aris really is the god of great swords
It's like the avatar's past lives
It does give you that adrenaline to mimic what you see and want to improve.
Predictive charges was also known as headlocking the monster back in the day. I loved seeing people face the monster backwards and back swing the greatsword into a head lock.
Imagine doing co-op seeing one greatsword guy charging at far side of battlefield, then all you know is the monster came to him and got knocked
As a GS main, it's actually way harder to do in multiplayer as the monsters change targets randomly so it's almost impossible to predict their next movement.
yea it wont happen. Someone else could trigger his planned flinch too early. Most of those trick shots were trades, he knew the monster would flinch because he was beating it and getting it close. Unless you are team darkside and your whole team is super coordinated for a perfect run.
Lets be honest. The video is a giant scam. Peak GS play is just get the monster on the floor and short cancel into TCS.
Playing like he did is basically the equivalent of rolling a 100 sided die and “winning” when you get 90 or above and “losing” when you get 89 and below. Even if you play for 100s of hours and increase your skills to peak it only means you “win” at 85 and above vs “losing” at 84 and below.
GS is just too slow and monsters are too random to do anything more consistent unless you are doing something to hold them in place for long periods of time (ie status effects, environmental traps, regular traps, claggers, trips, etc).
Id compare players who main GS who play like this dude to “Win It Big” dedicated casino players. They are in the casino every day and they are always losing money but every now and then they “Win IT BIG” and get a shot of dopamine so they think it was worth all the carts and time spent getting bodied and healing until the stars align just right and they get that big hit on the monster.
Hey if thats the kind of play you like more power to you, but LS and hammer do about the same and have far far more consistent gameplay.
@@oriondye3212 well... it wasnt really 10 steps, and he brought non GS tech into vids like head locking elder dragons, or exploiting the free clutch chance when a monster is exhausted. Also, TCGs is its own thing? Basic triangle spammer of step 1 already discovered it. At least it nailed good things like tackle, then slinger combo. Also the "Helicopter". I just wished we focused on things like aiming GS during charge, he did that, but never focused... the side slap, which combos into roll... would be nice. Maybe even useless things like upward slash, so team mates can try uncoordinated mounts. Also charging during jump attack or mount attack.
@@jeremycu4571 i mean im not really getting your comments man. I guess if you just want to mess around and have fun regardless of if you cart three times and fail the hunt for your friends or not you can do all of the things you mentioned. But if you want to actually beat the monster you wouldn’t do any of that.
Aiming GS is only for if you position incorrectly. Which 95% of the time if your not perfectly positioned you are too far away from the monster rather so aiming does literally nothing for you. Most people who have “mastered GS” will not have a problem positioning themselves to land their GS hits straight on so aiming is only really for noobs.
He should see those longsword masters as well. So fluid offense and evade, makes them look like their doing a waltz
Yea, nothing is more stylish than a longsword master.
Screw longsword he needs to watch some Swith-Axe vids.
@@AstonMartinStig Nothing is more easy to master than Long Sword.
@@Spiffo0 WORLD LBG sticky build.
@@Spiffo0with full respect, but 90% of people don't even scratch surface of longsword tech like freecam reverse foresight slash and that's easy one...
Remember, when you spend years with a single weapon...you just learn how to do this stuff especially with practice. Hopefully Asmon will become extremly good with the GS for when wilds come out. He already does decent with it for a first timer.

holy shit, hes been doing this a week and has 82 hours already? thats crazzyyyyy...Ive got 400 hours and 125 MR, 280 HR. Dude is GRINDING
@@SpadeApeiron exactly you lose so much content from just playing a single weapon, i clocked in 800 hours by using all the weapons. Finally found myself as a gunlance main after starting with hammer
@@saos242 wow I had a very similar experience like you, except I started out as a gunlance main and ended up being a bonk lover :P
This is why as someone who plays all weapons since gen 2 I don't feel like I need new weapons, I barely scratch the surface of weapons I play the least with.
@@SpadeApeironI'm a bow addict in most video games, but for some reason it just doesn't do anything for me in Monster Hunter World. What am I missing? To clarify "doesn't do anything for me" - it doesn't feel awesome to use, I can't tell where the "power fantasy" is supposed to come with that weapon. Where's the satisfaction?
@@saos242 Gunlance mains BLASTS UP!
If you're going for a tank build I strongly recommend mushroomancer and Free Meal. mushroomancer lets you eat Mandragora as max potions and you can hold 10 of em as opposed to real max potions which are both expensive and you can only hold 2 of them. Free meal 3 gives you a 75% chance not to use consumables which enables you to now have even more max healings. It pretty cracked.
True, I hate people clowning and meme-ing on mushroomancer. It's a good skill albeit situational.
This is why I love monster Hunter. It’s common for me to be in awe of other hunters and how badass they can be.
They are really nice, and I find it to be way more awesome how they are supportive of new players. I’m just now trying Fatalis, and trying solo, and on sos. When trying sos many times I still get encouragement stickers when I die, and people keep joining the quest.
I wasn't even subbed to Asmon initially and now I'm playing Monster Hunter because of his coverage. Also got at least 2 of my mates into it too. One of his videos just so happened to pop up in my suggestions and here we are!
I remember 10 years ago when I started looking for GS gameplay, it was all about standing and charging at a seemingly random position and the monster just put their head under your sword. Look how far MH has evolved
I remember getting destroyed by Rathalos in MH1.
that was a whole ass different game, monster hit boxed were 3x smaller and their hurt box 3x bigger xD
@@JohnLeeInHisPrime
@@freakindamnshiki and I also remember getting destroyed by Tigrex in mh2:)
Monster hunter series was the only game series that rewards you even when u win or fail. It also pushes you to be better. I also love its crafting and repeatable quest
Yeah i can never get tired of these games. Started from freedom unite and basically have most of the series. The game is forgiving in drop rates, following monsters around im always picking up materials for crafting, monster fights arent always exactly the same either which makes repeating quest alright. The vast amount of builds you can create. Just such great game design. Im always waiting for the next mh release with high hopes. Tho mhrise failed me
"He knows what they're going to do" Asmon, you are on the verge of understanding this game. You are on the path to become a great hunter.
The way he smiles when he sees the Predictable Charges, he’s falling more in love with the GS
He's getting it! It's so true what he's said about the game looking janky and boring in videos when you've never played it, both when you see pros and noobs. But once you play it yourself, you really understand just how much there is to playing this game that doesn't show in videos, how incredibly satisfying it feels to master it. And that's when you see videos like this and just fully appreciate how deep the combat can get and how insanely talented these people are, and it's so so satisfying to watch people be good at this game when you've played it yourself.
For someone that never played any monster hunter game, he is absolutely crushing it.
Skill based games > Credit card based brainrotters
I love the progression from video 1 to the current playtime. He went from hating on the game to absolutely loving the small, finer details. It really is a great game. And Asmongold, it’s also a lot of fun with friends.
I've been watching the youtube vods and I'm half way through ep 7 right after beating the base game. This has been my favorite gameplay content from asmon since I originally found his content during his original dark souls playthrough. I can't really explain why but the game is very enjoyable to watch someone progress through. I watched ep 1 on second monitor while I grinded a couple other games myself but the next day when I started ep 2 I was so sucked in that I couldn't do anything else while watching and have binged it as main monitor content ever since. I wish I had started sooner because I don't think I'll be able to catch up to his livestream play. I've never played any MH game but this has made me 100% plan to do so in the future.
As much as I'm glad he's enjoying GS, I hope he sticks with the game long enough to try other weapons too. a big part of the fun in MH is how switching weapons can completely change a fight and give a whole new experience
I used to be GS main, learning GS isn't mainly learning the weapon but learning each monster mechanics which makes GS is one if not the only of simplest weapon to use but most complex at see time. You can just tackle, tackle and TCS all the time but still need to learn each monster mechanics
What are you now
@@jack76thegamer30 Gunlance main, explosions go brrrrrr
for some reason my comment hidden.. in sunbreak I play IG, it just fun for me. used to play CB back in base world, then switched to GS then used GS back in rise then switched to IG in sunbreak. IG in sunbreak is really fun because the kinsect skills @@jack76thegamer30
3:49 everytime i watch a proplayer with different weapon in MH
7:07 In case nobody mentioned it (too many posts to make sure haha). If the next hit you do makes the monster look like they ran out of breath, if you grapple hook latch on to them, it extends their stun time.
I believe this is a hard refresh on how long the stun lasts too (might even be better to say it resets the stun time AND extends it)
Hence why the trick is, you see em look dazed/out of breath, latch on and immediately jump off the monster, then wail on em.
Hope your stay at MonHun land continues to be enjoyable and epic for you -thumbsup-
Louder!!!!!! Tell them so when I carry their hunt, they grab the monster 😂❤️
Step 10 applies to all weapons, you basically become John wick it’s exhilarating
I was a hunting horn main users, but after saw Asmon development of GS gameplay it makes me wanna try it out. His experience and genuine reaction make me love Monster Hunter even more
you got me playing again. I played the game a ton when it came out on ps4. Later it came out on PC and I played it again. I beat it and made decent progress. I always loved world and watching you playing everyday made me want to play it again. I also bought iceborne on a sale a year ago and was going to play it with a friend. We never got around to playing it and I didn't want to get far ahead of him. Now he was watching your videos on breaks at work and he brought it up so we both reinstalled and I'm doing iceborne for the first time. Still a fantastic game. The old ones didn't click being on handheld, world is the first one that grabbed me and had me sinking hundreds of hours. Rise also suffers as some of the mechanics aren't as cool as they seem to be initially, and being a switch port it honestly looks worse than world. Thanks for the vids man I'm back to MH. Got this vid on my second monitor.
Actually, as someone played MH for over 10 years, watching new players first MH experience VOD is awasome, seeing the reaction and such bring a big smile on my face.
No wonder why your MH VODs get so much views
He said in this stream he stayed up till 4am farming for different great swords lol. True hunter now
DUDE the moment I saw him playing greatsword I was hoping he would see Aris! THE GOAT
I dont catch his streams, but if Asmon decides to get more regularly into monster hunter I totally support that.
Yea, I've been slowly catching up because I can't watch 4+ hrs of the vod a day😂
GREATSWORD SUPREMACY MUST SEE BIG NUMBERS

@@MikkosFree Lance lmao
I admit, I played the cracked version of this game before and completed it twice (including iceborne, but I only did the grinding lands up to unlocking gold rathian and silver rathalos). Seeing Asmon play the game got me interested in it again and so I bought it on steam and started playing again.
Welcome back
@@beasthaven1571 Glad to be back

Great Swording is in my blood!
2 steps of long sword:
1: helmsplitter
2: iai counter
3: foresight slash
Iai counter is high risk, low reward in World. If you are already caught in iai stance it makes sense to go for it, but the vast majority of the time you are better off setting up foresight.
But in Rise you just spam iai counters.
@@xekis i mixed them up mb
As a Bowgun main I have always admired Greatsword users from afar, coz, i use a bowgun-

As a Hammer bro I admire Greatsword users from pretty close and Bowgun users from afar, because they are, well, afar.
As a Hh main I just will doot my horn and watch the epicness around me as we all come together
GS and both bowguns are my main weapons. You can learn both. I kinda prefer GS, but love how with the guns you can change the play style just by switching ammo types
The thing is, he is using endgame weapons and armour against end-game bosses
I think many didn’t really understand step 8
Just wait untill he finds out of the other weapons movelists.
If you wanna tank play lance. As a great sword main go full offense. You either do more damage than anyone else in the hunt, or you die trying like a real man.
Nah, that's the switchaxe

To be fair, that's likely just a montage of moments where everything worked out perfectly, removing all the whiffs. Great Sword is awesome when it works just right, but no pro I ever watched had this sort of 100% productivity.
its not that hard at a few thousand hours and a few thousand hunts
The amount of hours doesn't change much. You can know the monsters' tells, but they still move around erratically, even more so when enraged. Especially with a weapon like a great sword, that has slow and committed attacks, people are going to whiff, no matter how much they know the monsters. Anyone who actually plays the game will know that.
@@vladenpain really if you don't bring your cat you can almost always tell what they'll do.
One, as I already said, that isn't true for very fast or enraged monsters - at least unless you're doing the most boring fight ever, spending 90% of it running and running and dodging and running, only ever attacking when the monster did some attack that leaves it still for 2-3 seconds and you are within range, so you know the attack won't miss. I can't see many beyond the most "I told you I could eat all these nails, now take me to the ER" morons doing that for empty bragging rights.
And two, the fact you say "almost" yourself already would prove my point anyway.
i played it at release. Now watching asmon made me download it again, and im loving it
I've downloaded it again too bc i stopped before reaching MR 100 🤧 Now I'm grinding again dang!!
Greatsword mains on their way to unlock their third eye for no good reason
Step 11: Do an infinite charged attack in the air while moving forward and keep ledge hopping backward. Rinse and repeat.
This man who made the great sword tips opened his mind far further than yami ever intended kaiba to do.
I’ve heard of Asmon before, but ever since he started playing mhw, I now love him and I want to go back to play mhw also. Thank you Asmon for the great content, it puts me to sleep😂
Notable addition to greatsword tips: Ledge hopping. Can come in clutch periodically
MH is one of my all time favorites since PSP. So happy other's are enjoying it and getting exposed to it on a larger scale.
to me one thing why the game can be so successful and being replayable is that most of the important parts of the game can be cleared with lower skill level and feel extremely rewarding. And it can also be cleared with higher skill level and also feel extremely rewarding. and theres so many different monsters each with its own unique characteristics and really difficult ones as well that you dont really feel bad or stuck at the game even if you dont clear those.
Mhw quickly became my favorite game when it first came out.
Its amazing to watch it grow in popularity again.
Feels amazing to see
Im excited for when Asmon finally gets to fight Fatalis.
Then as Fatalis keeps shitting on him we can show him TDS absolutely bullying Fatalis.
I think Alatreon would be harder for him, Way too fast
@@sorrowdada also there's escaton's judgement.
@@sorrowdada yeah I think so too. Alatreon will be a harder wall to break since you need to consistently hit her with elemental damage and also consider DPS checks. I fucking hate that monster.
I'm a GS main and a CB sub, these 2 are the greatest weapons in MHW. The instant reward of knocking a monster or breaking a part when your biggest attack lands is just something you have to experience yourself
Cannot wait for him to reach Alatreon. This guy has by far the best hitboxes in the entire game.
Idk if id say they are the best. More like fucked in your favor because most of them are smaller than they look. Optimally all hitboxes would completely correspond to the body parts and projectiles visually
Most players: look up guide and learn weapon, then apply the research others have done.
Asmon: UNGABUNGA DODGE ROLL BIG SWORD

@@fezzzost950 the weapon that requires the most skill to master but is one of the easiest to use
@@diveblock2058 whatever helps you sleep at night😂
@@diveblock2058 I don't think it is. The moveset is pretty standard. It is a weapon that mostly relies on you knowing the monsters and how they behave. I personally like the charge blade more since it is more complex to use, but also dishes out a lot of damage. All weapons require you to know the monsters, but some weapons also require you to know the weapon itself, and great sword is not one of them imo. For new players I would either recommend the long sword or dual blades. Long sword is pretty nice since it also has moves for s (foresight slash and the iceborne Iai slash which just rely on monster knowledge to use right).
@@Voidstroyer for new players i just recommend sas its simple and easy to use...but i just say choose whatever you like they are all easy to use
i strongly disagree with what you are saying about the great sword because as seen in this video there is tech on tech. with most weapons position is important, sure, but in gs positioning is everything. because the weapon is so slow its harder to set up predictions and you have to learn monsters entire attack strings and follow ups and have an effective counter for them all
while when playing charge blade its easier to compromise
its all fun and games to pull off a dunk with a weapon as fast as the monster with a wide hitbox however when you set up a true charge slash before the monster is even on your screen and it hits perfectly. that requires perfect mastery of the game.
to master the great sword is to master monster hunter and if you have full mastery of the great sword every other weapon becomes quite easy to play in comparison
tldr there is so much room for error in the gs that its not even close comparing it to smth like the charge blade when it comes to skill ceiling. it easily surpasses every other weapon in terms of mastery (in mhw)
The helicopter slash and slinger combo is pretty neat.
One makes you jump way to the side so you have a poor mans fade slash of the long sword, the other allows you to reorient yourself into any direction so after you jumped sideways, you can just do a tcs 90° towards the monster.
It's crazy how big of a skill difference there is from the top (I would say) 2% of the playerbase. Where they've mastered a complete understanding of the monsters to the point where they not only predict the monsters next attack but also know exactly where to stand to avoid the attack and punish the monster at the same time. Not to mention how they can manifest the monster to flinch or topple whenever they need it to, which takes a memorization of how much hits they've done to certain parts.
Me play game lots. Me play game better
Pickle's hitboxes in 3U are so perfect that someone with an overall notion of his entire moveset can just kill him in the Jaggia quest with low rank gear easily without carting once
I have been begging him to watch a video like this since day 1. Thank fuck, I hope he gets inspired and starts trying out the sweet moves lol
Its about time. Now maybe he can use flash and sling them to walls at the least.
Yeah the other tackle video that was literally just tackling to hunt a monster was infuriating.
Now he knows what most of the future monsters look like due to spoilers...
People should just let him play and figure things out on his own.
As a greatsword hunter, you not only need to know your weapon by heart, but also really knowing what you’re up against. Truly studying each monster and their weaknesses.
"this guy is a god at MH" - dude does the most basic shit for 80% of the video xD wtf...

MHW is blowing because;
1. New MH announcement.
2. MHW currently has a MASSIVE discount going on, so lots of new players. I got the base game and expansion myself for like 30$.
3. It's easy to go back and play it. So people hear it's blowing up with new players, old players come back.
4. Game good.
His understanding and timing to execute hits on specific spots is his strength. Incredibly locked in
I loved your reaction! I'm glad you liked GS that much, I hope you keep enjoying and learning this weapon 🫡💛
My boy aris❤
The best!
I have witnessed him playing tons of different games (of course WoW for the most part) but I cannot tell you when was the last time when he was really into something like MHW. It is really great to see those genuine smiles when figures out something or just being blown away by how great this game is in general. Wtg Asmon, wtg!
So with the tackles its hard to see exactly what he did, but on the first monster he hyper armored the hit from the monster, in the second one he hyper armored the roar, which would normally stagger him. It also helps to advance the charge level.
Ill admit it, i got back onto Monster Hunter after seeing Asmon give it a go. I have 350+ hrs at the time Iceborne came out and put it done after a few Fatalis kills. But damn watching his vods gave me a massive urge to reinstall and ive been playing along side his vids. So happy he finally did it!
Don’t let him know about the GS counter in Sunbreak
"This is THE best weapon."
Thats why I love MonHun so much. Every weapon is THE best weapon. When you find the one that clicks, thats what you say.
Man it makes me so happy to see so many people picking up this game. I loved it dearly and was lucky enough to be riding the wave since its release.
9:57 *THIS! RIGHT HERE* Is why I love the greatsword.
The fact he is tackling through the roars is frame perfect is awesome
