@@roleplayingguru no it's the 2 staged morphed slash combo from Sunbreak. Only now, we are discharging Zero Sum Discharges while doing the morph combo.
Yeah they're going the "give literally every weapon a counter" route, which I'm personally not a fan of. Lance better get huge buffs to make up for it.
I feel like they haven’t truly defined what the weapon is supposed to be yet. The classics like GS, Lance, Hammer etc. stay mostly the same. Tried and true. The newer weapons are still building up to their true form
Big analysis from a swaxe main: 0:05 - You can see a glow on the axe head here if you pause at the right time, most likely the "heat" buff from the extended wild swings finisher they're doing (presumably they did a few takes and this is from a previous take). Hopefully it's the one from Rise that gives you faster sword meter and not the one from World/Iceborne, or just something totally new. It's also possible that it's the Rise mechanic that gave you phial effects in axe mode if you had full sword meter, although that one was more pronounced. 0:14 - Overhead swing opener is faster like in Rise. Animations also look a little more crisp as the axe really digs into the ground and stops dead. 0:16 - A new version of rising slash that hits twice, looks sick. Probably chains back into overhead slash. Possibly only available as a combo finisher from the basic hit chain, you might still be able to get the old rising slash, or a single-hit version of this one, using the old two-button input. 0:20 - Sword overhead slash opener seems to also be faster like Rise. It's not clear how much forward movement it has though. 0:21 - The hunter does a small sidestep here that's new, could indicate that there are multiple versions of the sword combo that allow you to step as you swing. A lot of weapons seem to be incorporating this kind of mechanic. 0:33 - This looks like a proper Element Discharge but with an instant detonation. It's possible this will lead to ZSD if you have full meter. 0:35 - A new counter, activated from neutral in sword mode. This is total speculation, but maybe this is a new property of morphs? It might also build back some sword gauge since a lot of counters seem to interact with weapon resources. 0:37 - The camera and the character running makes it seem like this is the follow-up for that greatsword uppercut mechanic where you hit the monster as it hits you and send it flying, so not really part of the regular kit. 0:40 - What the HECK is this? We have like 3 seconds of footage to go off of but here's my speculation: First off, the sword is glowing bright red, which means this is probably at max sword gauge. We also see phial discharges, which lines up with this. The footage seems to show an initial activation (red particle effect and a sound cue) and two subsequent hits, and from the motion of the hunter at the end, it looks like they're going for another (maybe got cut because it whiffed). It seems like the third hit includes a morph as the glow disappears. Based on the "activation" at the start, the general motion of the attack, the glow and phial discharges, and the possible morph at the end, I THINK this is a powered-up Heavenward Flurry (the attack at 0:25) that becomes available at max sword meter, chained into a regular morph slash. This means we might see a new moveset for sword mode when it's powered up, similar to what Longsword gets. If that's the case, it probably at the very least changes the circle-button attacks, and it might also change the triangle-button attacks, and maybe even the morph attacks. Again, all speculation, but this attack being Heavenward Flurry seems like the most likely possibility. Now for the stuff we don't see: - Zero sum or compressed finishing discharge - ANY of the existing morph attacks (most importantly, the double-hit ones from Rise) - Meter / gauge mechanics - Mashing - Attacks at full sword meter (possibly) - Fade slash or forward slash - Dodge canceling Wild Swings - The only dodge is an axe back-roll at 0:19 (swaxe has some of the best dodges in the game, so they are hopefully unchanged) - Drawing into sword mode Overall, not much to go off of, but I'm still excited to see what it looks like when we finally get our hands on it. It seems like it's mostly just gotten the universal mechanics, some style upgrades, and no big new gimmicks aside from a counter. Seems great so far.
Rising slash being a double hit is disappointing imo. I liked how goofy it looked while also appreciating effective it was. This new version looks like it takes longer and has less reach, hopefully the old version is still available as a starter move from a stand still and this double hit version is the combo version only.
Im hoping that the mounting zero sum discharge is in the game like how it is in world. I wouldnt mind if compressed zero sum discharge was also in the game in some fashion. The heat mechanic from rise would be great if it was included. Invincible gambit being included is ok I guess, I never liked that move in rise tbh. I doubt soaring wyvern blade will be included but thats ok, the new focus move attacks look amazing.
I'm a little worried that they didn't show morph attacks from neutral, I'm really hoping you can do that. The fact that they didn't mention Amping/Sword Gauge/Power Axe at all seems a little strange considering weapons like Charge Blade and Longsword have their Gauges showcased. Makes me think there might have been a big rework. This showcase is such a tease! It's giving us more questions than answers.
Switch axe guard point is actually so cool, the energy sword flame slashes looked amazing too! Edit: it's most likely a counter streamlined from other mh games!
@@zachflora9731 Does not look like it. Rise, Sunbreak in particular added a Counter which was CRAZY powerful, but it had a way longer animation to set up, and it was extremely flashy and explosive. Definitely not that.
@@kaz7886 Not the exact same but Ii is still most likely a counter inspired by the one in rise, just a bit toned down. It's not a gurad point as the SA can't even guard nor made that animation sense as a guarding.
@@kaz7886 Sure but that didn't look like guarding to me and a counter makes much more sense for a hyper aggressive weapon like the Switch Axe. I am not completely excluding the possibility of a guard point though, i just don't think it's likely.
Another spin to win weapon! SA is looking saucy with the moves and flow. Cant wait to see full switch combos. Love they added the rise wriebug moves as well
@@holdenschlabach115 same here! I started Rise/Sunbreak as a SA main for the first time. I loved it so much. I also did a second playthrough of Worlds/Iceborne using SA as well coming of a LS in my first run
Lots of elements of Storm Style swax from Frontier in this, with the guard point parry and the extended beam resembling the light sword. Be interesting to see how similar they are in reality.
Watch Capcom casually drop a new weapon showcase. I don't think I could handle the hype, though. 2024 has slowed to a crawl since they announced wilds 2025 release

@@gray8301Same. I never bothered using the counter. It felt too clunky and was unbalanced by awarding you a lot for little. This counter does look better. I’m curious to see all the details on it and the other new stuff.
0:12 This armor & weapon set.. hmmm.. is this from a scorpion 🦂type monster???!! Because the tip of the sword looks like the tail sting, and the handle cross-guard are the claws..
I think it's some kind of bird wyvern actually. The beak looks a bit like a cross between a yian garuga and a hypnos. The light colored parts looks like skin from a Khezu while the darker shaded parts looks like wing membrane.
About time! It's our turn Swagaxe brothers & sisters! Love the fact we got some defensive options like we did in Rise, that's something I missed in World
@@Lime_Cordis14 I personally think it's amazing, started using it when I was first introduced to monhun with MH4U and never looked back. The only problem the weapon had was a lack of defensive options which Rise fixed. Both the axe and sword mode are viable so you'll never feel like you're being forced into using only 1 mode because the other is underwhelming....besides...when you full charge up the weapon you can latch on to a monster part and nuke the hell out of it. Need I say more?
FUCK yes. Those options may make me actually start playing again in fully honestly. I have skill. I took on all the monsters in world but God was it so annoying and aggravating at the same time that I had to stop. So these defensive options and counters may actually be what's needed to start playing again!
@@Lime_Cordis14If you like playing aggressively than you’ll love it. One thing of note is that it apparently has a kinda high skill ceiling, so I recommend getting a lot of practice with it
don't worry, the game is still 6 months away, they'll show us most locals and monsters in the same way when we get closer to release. they care about money and more people will favor the spoilers than the few who want a fresh experience
I see we have a Counter again, thank you CapGOD; it looks pretty similar to the Sunbreak one but instead of intercepting an enemy attack it seems more like a reactive counter to getting hit in some kind of stance. Also, loving the flippy combo at the end there. I don't recognise this armor, so another new monster tease. Judging by what looks like mandibles on the Swaxe, it's probably a Neopteron or Temnoceran. Also, very strange they didn't show off or mention the Sword or Amped gauges, which are kind of important to the weapon's functionality.
Weapon seems to be of the Ice Element! Also most likely a Power Phial from the red elemental burst explosion (assuming they didn't change it from how it was in World)
@@bulletxwound3559 Nope wrong, there is an audible impact noise when the paw of the monster makes contact with the switchaxe. If the hunter didn't block it, we would've heard a different audio cue.
@@wasabilai9405 world players still pretending sunbreak didn't happen.... hahaha, have double the hours in sunbreak over world... and that was in the thousands. :p
same. World gave Fanged Wyverns their time to shine, so i hope Wilds does the same for at least some of the other underutilized monster types begging capcom to give us at least one new snake wyvern, its been too long..
I used only used it in rise so I had no idea there were no switch attacks in the previous games. It's good they're back because they were a big part of keeping the battle flow going.
@@mbern4530morph attacks are not new but before rise you could only use them as a follow up after a normal attack and you couldn't use morph attacks back to back
Good to see they added defensive moves, cause the only defense option in World is dodging. Also happy to see moves from Rise, since Rise did a great job with combining axe and sword mode. Unlike World which focuses on sword mode more. The animation looks smooth, 100% gonna play this as a SA main.
This is the preview I've been waiting for. They didn't give too much away, but it looks like my favorite combos are back plus that focus attack was awesome PLUS it looks like we still get a counter and that tease at the end with a new move, can't wait!
Im loving seeing these new armor sets. It really has me trying to figure out what monster created them. Because its clear the weapon uses a Frost Blight when it slashes at the monster. Which confirms there is a winter/snowy environment.

I had to watch that ending ZeD like 5 times 😲 that was clean asf
This will switch things up!
I see we have a Counter again, thank you CapGOD; it looks pretty similar to the Sunbreak one but instead of intercepting an enemy attack it seems more like a reactive counter to getting hit in some kind of stance. Also, loving the flippy combo at the end there. I don't recognise this armor, so another new monster tease. Judging by what looks like mandibles on the Swaxe, it's probably a Neopteron or Temnoceran. Also, very strange they didn't show off or mention the Sword or Amped gauges, which are kind of important to the weapon's functionality.
me wants a spuuder. rachna was not erratic enuf
reactive counter to getting hit in some kind of stance.... lulz - that's EXACTLY sunbreak's counter... lol - are you SURE you main SW?
They also didn't show Hunting Horns melody effects so I guess we'll wait and see
Yeah I'm wondering if they're bringing back the charged axe phials too.
@@asianartist1in SB you had to actually press in rigth time to active the counter, in here it acts more like CB counter
This might genuinely be the coolest weapon trailer so far
Weapon seems to be of the Ice Element! Also most likely a Power Phial from the red elemental burst explosion (assuming they didn't change it from how it was in World)
The weapon designs are 🔥🔥🔥
No more "bone" weapon designs.
totally disagree with ya. don't fuck up progression nor the gear for it.
@@asianartist1 I don't see how unique weapon design is "fucking up" progression or gear.
@@asianartist1 ah yes the progression of having the final boss gear be iron weapons with glowy bits on it
@@asianartist1ah yes the master baiter
0:35 THAT MIGHT JUST BE WHAT I NEED TO BUSS
looks like a counter or some analogue to EBC at least, very exciting
CAUSE AMBA SINGH...!!! GYA UGH....!!!! AMBA SINGH...!!! GYA UUUUGH....!!!! 😭💦💦
@@RanchDressingPop-TartsEBC?
Elemental Burst counter
Sad Lance main 🥲
But darn those MHGU axe moves! And Counter is back!
I feel your pain bro
I was waiting for lance too!
But I don't expect too much, just look how much improvement lance get after each new mh generation (none)
There is a counter in there, but not the Elemental Burst Counter, I'm afraid.
i am so worry for lance right now…seem they put ‘no big change’ weapon to the back….
Also part of the axe combo silkbind from rise is back I think
Is it a Greatsword? NO! Its a Switch Axe!
0:27 she was about to get mauled and they cut it away 🤣
Here it is 🔥
0:35 this is called SWAG MOVE guys
Ahh my beloved it’s so nice to see you again
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT ARMOR and the Weapon THEY ARE SUPER COOKING!!!
At this point, I want dual blades to be last just to close it with a Bang.
Agree
THANK YOU FOR 990 SUBSCRIBE 😊
A bang that sounds like wet monke fart
Blast Blades will do it
I think you mean lance
This is the kind of good news I needed before going in to work!
TRANCE SLASH IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!!
It looks much more useable now!
SA and the armor looks absolutely stunning!
The greatest weapon ever weilded by hunter hands
HELL YEAH FINALLY! swag axe is love swag axe is life
0:35 Counter is back!!!!!
This is what I’ve been waiting for 😭 my switch axe! Monster Hunter World was the first game I played in this series. Now I’m hooked.
MONSTER HUNTER WILDS IS BEATING THE SLAP ON/VARIETY ALLEGATIONS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
Switch Axe with a guard, now that's something.
Power struggles with that could be very cool.
That's a counter
@@bulletxwound3559 A block/counter more than a dodge/counter tho
@@bulletxwound3559 Nope wrong, there is an audible impact noise when the paw of the monster makes contact with the switchaxe. If the hunter didn't block it, we would've heard a different audio cue.
@@KalaamNozalys actually look at the clip before making assumptions. The hunter puts the weapon BEHIND them when the monster hits ie s. not a block
@@mutantraze3681 Looks and sounds like a block though. Seems in front to me.
0:29 elemental discharge in axe mode? That looks pretty sick
Move at the end there giving me extreme style vibes where you just do powered slices
Switch axe with a guard counter. Never thought I'd see the day.
We saw this day back in sunbreak
@wasabilai9405 not everyone played rise/sunbreak
@@wasabilai9405it was a silkbind, not a actuall move of the weapon, you could change it
@@wasabilai9405 world players still pretending sunbreak didn't happen.... hahaha, have double the hours in sunbreak over world... and that was in the thousands. :p
@@damiennroddy sure, but it getting one is a fact
First CB now SA
another Temnocerans / Carapaceon / Neopterons style gear set
really hope me get more non Wyverns in Wilds, especially in end game
same. World gave Fanged Wyverns their time to shine, so i hope Wilds does the same for at least some of the other underutilized monster types
begging capcom to give us at least one new snake wyvern, its been too long..
this sounds at 0:35 is so satisfying the kind of sounds that made you say yeah I hit the move
0:35 looks like Wilds Switch Axe has a counter
And it looks like Morphing Attacks are coming back that Rise added.
I used only used it in rise so I had no idea there were no switch attacks in the previous games. It's good they're back because they were a big part of keeping the battle flow going.
@@mbern4530morph attacks are not new but before rise you could only use them as a follow up after a normal attack and you couldn't use morph attacks back to back
Yes I have rewatched this video! I’m 100% sure you did too!
WE EATING WITH SWAG
Good to see they added defensive moves, cause the only defense option in World is dodging. Also happy to see moves from Rise, since Rise did a great job with combining axe and sword mode. Unlike World which focuses on sword mode more. The animation looks smooth, 100% gonna play this as a SA main.
THAT’S MY BOOOIIIIII! Oh, I’m so happy to see Switchaxe again after my hiatus for MonHun.
Same
That Focus mode attacks,, I had EYEGASM ❤
SWAG AXE GAANNGGGSS. ,, ASSEMBLE!!!
ITS TIME SWITCH AXE MAIN
00:35 counter move?
Yes bro
rise 2 is here!
Almost similar to sunbreak
Looks like it. It was the one weapon I was hoping that kept it, lacking any real defensive options beforehand obviously.
Looks like there is a base mechanic for guard/counter. since all the weapon videos had shown this effect for guards or counters.
I'm stoked, I look forward to more announcements.
0:35 PARRY?????? OMG THIS IS SO GOOD MANNNNN
Waiting for the Bow trailer
*FINALLY, LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO*
we get to style on monsters even harder now.
Switch Axe mains, we're cooking for the entire village this time!
SWAXE. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
This is the preview I've been waiting for. They didn't give too much away, but it looks like my favorite combos are back plus that focus attack was awesome PLUS it looks like we still get a counter and that tease at the end with a new move, can't wait!
Im loving seeing these new armor sets. It really has me trying to figure out what monster created them. Because its clear the weapon uses a Frost Blight when it slashes at the monster. Which confirms there is a winter/snowy environment.
Which I cant wait to see because i am beyond bored of seeing the wasteland of nothing constantly.
