I like how even Valstrax's weapons have super high white sharpness, but as soon as it runs out it's straight to red. Everything about Valstrax has such an "all or nothing" feel to it and I love that.
I mean, it may also be a reference to it being a silver dragon trailed by red (Which is also theoretically in its title "Argent Comet", it being a silver (Argent meaning silver) dragon with red trailing behind it (as in it being likened to a red comet)). I never realised that it also referenced how it burns out easily too and that sharpening a Valstrax weapon is like it recharging, getting back to full strength, but interrupted and knocked aside by a hit during it. Thanks for the info!
"Its a bird!" "Its a plane!" "Its a supersonic silvercoated elder dragon propelling itself with dragon element blasting from his wing-thrusters...wait what?!"
Radahn: 'comes flying at the player like a meteor' Normal Players: damn, that's a cool and dangerous ability! MH Veterans: *'cue PTSD Vietnam Flashbacks of Valstrax'* oh god not again!
Another thing I love, this song only has a single stopping point, which is the climax, and the constant flow of the song leading up to it just makes it magical
Rise version is good, but not as good as this. But to be fair, regular valstrax is very heroic and grand. While crimson glow is more chaotic and villainous. Which fits the monster since the dragon energy made them go mad. Generation ultimate valstrax theme is still better tho.
Something i realized as well. Outside of Risebreak, in most other games the presence of a chorus in the theme is usually only reserved for some of the most powerful and/or royally pissed off monsters. You get to hear some of that in Valstrax's theme which is a great little nod to the sheer amount of power he's packing.
Spoiler Well do I have a surprise for you! Just wait a few more days. Homie strax over here has been datamined, leaked and hinted at in game, so I'll be shocked if He's not in the may update
Hunter 1: Hey, look, its a red shooting star!! Make a wish!! Hunter 2: I wish I was dead. Hunter 1: Haha! Hunter 1: Hunter 1: Hunter 1: Hey that looks kinda close, doesn't it?
first time i went against valstrax i saw him fly away, or that's what i thought, i tried not to lose sight of it so i could know which area he was going since i didn't mark it, but then i saw him do some spins above and then flash red as he launched itself against me, needless to say my jaw hitted the ground, i recorded those epic 30 seconds
Fellow Hunters, we are gathered here today to bear witness to the return of this beautiful creature to our game. Please join me in making clothing and weapons out of its corpse.

When I was a kid, Monster Hunter is the only game where I sometimes hesitate to accept certain quests like this one, especially when I think I'm not mentally ready. Because I'm scared and kept imagining the multiple ways I'm gonna get screwed and get my ass beat during the fight.
used to happen to me a lot. I even thought to myself "my friends are gonna laugh at me cuz I'm not good enough at this game". Once I broke out of that mental I started really enjoying myself overal, specially in hunts like this one
just go the game. in these boss-centric games, you gotta realize that at the end of the day the core gameplay loop is banging your head against the wall until your head and the wall crack
yeah like this remind me of in past MH games. when i've feel like im not strong enough yet to take quest to kill fatalis. the momment i see how fatalis look like i was like. "damn, lets farm some more" or when i see the maps looks especially if it has big open area, like. "why is the map so big?" then i was just like "owh" after seeing what you need to fight in there😂
Did somebody say chrome plated dragon with transforming jet engines powered by dragon lightning? I really hope this bro gets a place in the series as recurring lategame badass like Fatalis and Alatreon did.
0:53 "Courageous hunter who reaches for the shining red star. Ascending the clouds to the heavens afar. Courageous hunter you stand before magnificent burning light. Now stand your ground and fight, and show your unwavering might."
GU was my first Monster Hunter game, and out of all my hunts and every monster in that game (which is pretty much every monster in the series except for those in World and later) Valstrax is far and away my favourite. I love the fight, love the concept for the monster, I love it's design, and I love it's theme. I really hope it gets added to Rise sooner rather than later since it's in the files.
@@gabejr25_82 Sometimes I open GU and fight Valstrax again just because I love fighting it. The greatsword is shit, the armor is bad, I have no use to farming it. But this is probably the only hunt I can repeat just because I get immense pleasure in hunting it. The monster isn't too hard, but isn't easy, it's still a satisfying challenge with a greatsword. No bullshit mechanics with the fight, honest (and epic) moveset and good hitboxes, and god, the music. It's almost a ritual. I recently reached G1 in GU and hunting valstrax in High Rank is almost a ritual for me when I just feel like I want to have fun. I could try to speedrun the hunt, but no. I get my fun from trying to break every part of it. I don't get anything useful from that, but I still do, even if it takes me 25 minutes for a hunt I can do in 10. That is how much I love hunting it. Out of every flagship monster, only Gore Magala and Valstrax have done that to me.
tismeah7 Yup! And once the again, the f*ckers totally had to do it on the one game that wouldn't release in the west again. xD They always like to keep the best for themselves. lol They literally gathered all the things that everyone wanted in MHGen and put it in MHXX, which is godly compared to the semi-garbage that MHGen was. They even saved Lao Shan Lung for it... And then they decide not to release the TRUE Monster Hunter anniversary game to the west? Fuck off Capcom.
what? gen was garbage? it totally was not, yes it did not have g rank or some things but I still enjoyed the hell out of it and clocked in over 100 hours in it.
Over 100 hours in a Monster Hunter game really isn't "playing the hell out of it." It was... mediocre. It took a lot of the quality upgrades of 4U and threw them out the window. Cohesive "storyline" mode in single player that kept you going from key quest to key quest without having to guess what to do next? Nope. Tutorial for newer players showing them the basics? Nope. Guild Marm having sexual fantasies about various monsters? Nope. 60 FPS cap? Nope. Mandatory gathering quests? IN FUCKING SPADES. Wanna know what's playing the hell out of a game? The ~3k hours I had in MH4U. And I'd still not gotten to the point of learning Gunlance, Lance, or SNS. Buuut then my 3DS's sim card died and I had a digital copy so there went all 3k hours of work. RIP my face.
Gen is probably the worst they could have made any of the newer games. Sure, it's better than the likes of Freedom 1 and such, but that's just because the hardware is better. It has made far too many design mistakes that it's just not a good game for current standards. Doing a Solo Artless Guild run is actually quite fun, but other games did that much better, because it was the entire game in those situations. Double Cross, on the other hand, looks brilliant. It would probably be the definitive MH game if they got rid of those dumb Hunting Styles. The arts are fine, but the styles are not!
Hey look that red comet is kinda beautiful isn’t it *pushes the handler to the ground* SEE YA’ NEVER Valstrax: Y O U A R E G O I N G D O W N N O W G I R L *Valstrax proceeds to crash at full speed against the handler*
I hope that at some point in one of the future games, despite how unlikely it is, there’s a turf war between Safi and Valstrax. I mean it’s just perfect. The Sapphire Star versus the Crimson Comet.
Safi would certainly beat the living crap out of Valstrax. But i would love to see it, cause they are probably my favorite elder dragons from 4th and 5th gen
When I first faught Valstrax that "Around the World" attack caught me off guard as I thought he retreated and then I look into the air again and see he's coming back find my self being pummeled into the ground by a Comet Dragon
You may have figured this out already, but the best way to tell if he’s leaving or going go dive bomb you is by marking with a paintball or some other skill that displays his position on the map. When he does the dive bomb, he usually does roughly a half circle around the area before zooming down on you.
I had that happen to me in the demo. I call that move "The Ardent Comet" as a tribute to his title. Tried to block it with GL shield. Turns out, the only way to live is via Superman dive. It still looked badass.
I know I'm two years late but, while I like the original more in its melody I like the fact that the new theme is more fast paced and by far the thing that I like the most is that the chorus plays twice. I absolutely hate that it doesn't in the original.
yeah, the instrumentation is way less real sounding so it overall sounds worse. plus, there's that weird part that just kinda breaks the pacing. I do like how they repeat the main melody in rise though.
@@wheresdad2894 I’m not so sure. If Gore Magala is to return in the future, you can’t just slap him in the game and be done with it. You’d have to bring in the Frenzy Virus and all of its shenanigans as well.
the quest for hunting valfalk translates roughly to "the drill...eur dragon that pierces the heaven" so its not wrong. Plus its armor is based off the Gurren Lagann mech's appearance.
I love the sound design for Valstrax. In particular, its high-pitched roar is nails-on-a-chalkboard in the best way possible, and its final death cry sounds like a plane powering down.
The pure energy and power of Valstrax’s theme is just spectacular, every time I listen to it I can perfectly picture that glowing red star circling me in the sky
the valstrax and bazelguese's turf war would just be a one-sided affair where the valstrax does his comet move and bazel flies up towards it hoping to ram him, and the sheer force of them both colliding creates a MASSIVE nuclear explosion in the atmosphere high above, and bazel is on the ground with valstrax pinning him and roaring triumphantly before they resume their normal fighting. 3k damage
Hunter: Die monster! You don't belong in this world! Valstrax: Tis' was not by my hand that I was given Jet wings, and I was called here by hunters who wish to slay me for tribute. But enough talk. Have at you! **play's this theme**
I know it’s a bit of an odd part but 0:25 might be my favourite part. That hook of the high notes and the swell of it always gives this fight a desperate grand vibe
I know what you mean but I personally think that a better theme for that place is the music for the Final phase of Atoraru Ka. though this is a close second.
Yep. Phases 1 & 3 are pretty similar to each other, same with phases 2 & 4, but they do have differences, so I'm listing them separately. Phase 5 is the real battle though.
Jesus Christ, i have never ever felt the feeling of soaring through the sky while winning agaisn't unbeatable odds and becoming the ultimate version of yourself better incapsulated into music.
Y'know, if Valstrax ever comes to a Stories game, I can sorta imagine a scene where 0:51 plays as you break through the clouds with your new partner. You know the first flight scene from HTTYD? Bit like that.
I'm convinced that at some point, in some forgotten design doc, they lost this track while composing proof of a hero, but this was meant to be the main theme, and it was years later when they found it and had to do /something/ with it, and valstrax's theme was born
Imagine hunters barely caught up with this giant rocket serpent. They fought well and one of them succesfuly climbed on Val's back. "Okay. Okay. I got this." While breathing heavily, he felt the creature's movement slowing down. He thought he heard his friend yelled. About letting it go or something. But their voices were swallowed by the sound of jet engine which gradually increases. And then 2:14 music start. The wyvern went vertical straight toward the cloud above leaving the hunter hanging on its back.
"Oh? You're flying at me? Instead of running away, you're blast-dashing right toward me? Even though your predecessors warned you of the devastation wrought by my Comet Dive?" "I can't shoot you in the face if I don't fly." "Then come! Fly as high as you need to!"
I'm Valstrax and I'm very fast, want to see me fly around the world say when okay now want to see me do it again Indubitably you mean nothing to me Indisputedly I am superior you see A living silver jet so you bet I'm on it Come let's see how you fare against the argent comet
monster hunter world was my first game in the series, but GenU was when i realized i loved the series to pieces. When i saw valstrax, i just... he is one of my favorite monsters ever. he's not a overpowered beast thats nearly impossible to kill, in fact in GenU he's kind of a pushover compared to other lategame monsters, with heavily telegraphed moves. But his sheer... awesomeness just sticks with me. Everything from his design and fight to his unique weapon mechanics is just unforgettable. for those who don't know, valstrax's weapons (in GenU at least, still farming for HR in Rise so i cant say yet) have an even split of white sharpness, and red sharpness, with no inbetween. even without handicraft, they boast one of the comfiest sharpnesses in the game just from how much white they give, Even if the damage of them is slightly lower for balance reasons. valstrax is just cool, and nothing can really take that away from him
Luckyrickyroller X he's on my list of favorite elder dragons But valfalks scales are a silver gray with its head loosely resembling a falcon and its roar sounds like one too. Instead of wings he has jet engines that both serve for flight a d as weapons
Deviljho: i appear out of nowhere and eat what you try and hunt Bazel: i fly in out of nowhere and shower the place with grenade scales Valstrax: *_BANZAIIIIII_*
Everyday... Everyday I watch the sky in the Elder's Recess to see if you're here... We are waiting for you buddy ☄ Edit: Well... Today I know I can stop waiting, but I hope I can RISE in the skies for find you again 😔 EDIT: And my hope will come true... Happy to see you again buddy, we will have missed you very much 😢😭 And you come back to us, more silvery and crimson than ever... Under the light of your shine, let's fight again!!! And let's Rise up, until we make this fight sparkle... 🌌✨☄✨🌌❤ Thx for all the support guys 👍
Valstrax is a blast to fight (get it?) But i daubt he will ever come to world the monsters from gu are a little bit to crazy for worlds more realistik style (i think) though id love to see the glorious rocket powerd elder dragon in worlds engine
I think that we wont see some monsters like gog,athal ka,narkarkos,cadeus,dire miralis and the morans for a long while they are just unike to their game
>be me >hear my friends talk about MH >they describe Valstrax >that sounds fucking awesome >they tell me about crimson glow >i come into school next day to say I bought rise
Actually this thing is inspired from the fastest animal in the world ,the peregrine🕋 falcon. It simply dives bomb from the sky on its preys at 389km/h without any warning ,and slows down a little bit before the impact in order to give a fatal kick that usually one shot them.
If we play devil advocate would that be a bad idea since we already have a endgame dragon weapons that being shara ishvalda, and ruiner nergigante, and more importantly wouldn't be hard to make the set work because unlike other sets it gives you dragonblight when 2/3 below health but immune to elemental damage.
This theme is my favourite at the moment, it has such complexity and yet simplicity at the same time, all while your fighting a frickin' Dragon with Jet boosters

The Rise version is very much worse off without it imo.
Another thing I love, this song only has a single stopping point, which is the climax, and the constant flow of the song leading up to it just makes it magical
Rise version is good, but not as good as this. But to be fair, regular valstrax is very heroic and grand.
While crimson glow is more chaotic and villainous. Which fits the monster since the dragon energy made them go mad.
Generation ultimate valstrax theme is still better tho.

Did somebody say chrome plated dragon with transforming jet engines powered by dragon lightning? I really hope this bro gets a place in the series as recurring lategame badass like Fatalis and Alatreon did.
HammerspaceCreature the more likely candidate for that would be Atlal Ka. This guy is more on the level of Brachydios and Seregios.
BananaDude more like Teostra, Daora and Chameleos.
Valfalk is a strong dragon elder, not a normal monster like Brachydios and Seregios
Taylor Geffken I was more saying that since Valfalk is the game’s flagship, so I guess the closest comparison is Kushala, being an elder flagship.
Atlal-Ka can't be the more likely canditate, because most giant Elders (like Yama, Miralis, and Gogmazios) rarely make it out of their own games.
@@Pascll Miralis is a Black Dragon.
He don't make any comeback because of the way we need to figth it I guess.

Valstrax: Y O U A R E G O I N G D O W N N O W G I R L
*Valstrax proceeds to crash at full speed against the handler*
Oh my- wait why is it circlin- *You died*
... Romain literally predicted Alatreon in world, he’s on Simpson’s level predictions
Does anyone else look at the sky in world to find a valstrax reference or is it just me
やっぱりぐうカッコイイ
I hope that at some point in one of the future games, despite how unlikely it is, there’s a turf war between Safi and Valstrax. I mean it’s just perfect. The Sapphire Star versus the Crimson Comet.
That would be sick!
Safi would probably win, but it'd still be one hell of a show either way.
Safi would certainly beat the living crap out of Valstrax. But i would love to see it, cause they are probably my favorite elder dragons from 4th and 5th gen
Around the world vs a safi beam
But could Safi beat crimson glow valstrax?
Radahn: *Allow me to introduce myself*
True! XD
monster hunter ptsd moment
Then you remember you can't Superman dive out of Radahn's Meteor dive bomb... *Guess i'll die*
Bro when that first happened I literally had valstrax’s theme go off in my head. So much so that I legit just tried to panic dive.
@@PorktatoesSSRB Ive been playing for over 70 hours and I still try to dive in a panic moment Q_Q
When I first faught Valstrax that "Around the World" attack caught me off guard as I thought he retreated and then I look into the air again and see he's coming back find my self being pummeled into the ground by a Comet Dragon
Same had those works thoughts in my head like oh he's retreating early guess I'll just-
Valstrax: DRACO METEOR!!!
Me:...[You Fainted]
World thoughts was what I meant to say
You may have figured this out already, but the best way to tell if he’s leaving or going go dive bomb you is by marking with a paintball or some other skill that displays his position on the map. When he does the dive bomb, he usually does roughly a half circle around the area before zooming down on you.
I had that happen to me in the demo. I call that move "The Ardent Comet" as a tribute to his title. Tried to block it with GL shield. Turns out, the only way to live is via Superman dive. It still looked badass.
I tried to block him with a GL shield he flew me to the new world
As nice as having Valstrax in Rise is, I really just don't think they topped its theme in XX. This is SUCH a masterpiece.
I know I'm two years late but, while I like the original more in its melody I like the fact that the new theme is more fast paced and by far the thing that I like the most is that the chorus plays twice. I absolutely hate that it doesn't in the original.
yeah, the instrumentation is way less real sounding so it overall sounds worse. plus, there's that weird part that just kinda breaks the pacing. I do like how they repeat the main melody in rise though.
I disagree. I think it’s better in Rise
I’m just as late as these other people but nah you’re so right this one is SO good compared to Rise’s imo
Proof of a hero : I'm the best theme in any MH games.
Valstrax theme : Can I try something ? 0:50
God, this sounds so damn heroic for a Jet Dragon
Well I mean, YOU are the hero here.
he behaves more like a jet fighter/missile in ace combat than a dragon
This theme won the popularity poll, well deserved!
What do you call 4 palicos mounting a Valstrax?
The Ride of the Val-Kittys
Anyone else celebrating the return of their first and most special flagship?
My first flagship is Tigrex, though Valstrax sure is a special one.
My first flagship was Nergigante, but dammit if Valstrax isn’t my _favorite_
*cries in gore magala*
@@Shadowzdota I’m sure he’ll make a return eventually
@@wheresdad2894 I’m not so sure. If Gore Magala is to return in the future, you can’t just slap him in the game and be done with it. You’d have to bring in the Frenzy Virus and all of its shenanigans as well.

If Valstrax somehow returns in Monster Hunter Rise, then it'll be hyped!
Valstrax has reached its destination! Yes!
I want Valfalk to be in an Ace Combat Crossover
its design and music fits so well in a full aerial battle
Imagine if it was like a X-02 Wyvern Squadron with a Intro similiar to the ones from Zero
the emblem's just it's symbol from the MH bestiary
XLAAs as his multiple projectile attack that he shoots from his wings
there's technically no superweapon/plane that attacks by dash/tackle yet is there
I want it to do that red comet dash over the altitude limit

If gammoth theme sounds like fighting a mountain this theme sounds like you are fighting the heavens then selves
Joseph Piscitelli
You're *literally* fighting a living fighter jet plane! xD -That isn't afraid of crashlanding in your face.-
Badass Toad Valfalk did 9/11
the quest for hunting valfalk translates roughly to "the drill...eur dragon that pierces the heaven" so its not wrong. Plus its armor is based off the Gurren Lagann mech's appearance.
Damien Gagné dear alatreon thats awesome
Wait gammoth has a theme?
Love myself some 4K music
+Wasabi the face says it all!
Dizzy Kiske Nice profile picture
More like 4.1k music
Lets go lads! Officially the best music in monster hunter!
I love the sound design for Valstrax. In particular, its high-pitched roar is nails-on-a-chalkboard in the best way possible, and its final death cry sounds like a plane powering down.
Suddenly Seto Kaiba's dragon jet doesn't seem so farfetched.
When Radhan does his divebomb.
Don’t mind me, just listening to this before Val touches down in kamura tonight
LETS FUCKING GO
Ridin' that hype train for the greatest elder as well, eh?
The pure energy and power of Valstrax’s theme is just spectacular, every time I listen to it I can perfectly picture that glowing red star circling me in the sky
The new Valstrax theme is awesome, but this one will always be the BEST!!
This theme, the theme for Ancestral Steppe, Deserted Island, Ukanlos... These are easily some of the best theme songs in the entire series.
the bonesauce personally, I don’t like the ancestral steppe music. But I’m fine to have some more Gore magala and Mizutsune for myself.
Ukanlos? A man of culture I see... Respect!
@@ErebusTheDragonn
…how can anyone not like Ancestral Steppe? It’s like my favorite MH theme of all time…
@@JanoyCresvaZero its such a good theme
Don't forget astalos!!!!!
It's yah boi, American Airlines!!
Damn you! Take my fucking like! 😆
Happy as hell this beat zinogres theme in the 20th anniversary theme contest.
Monster Hunter x Ace Combat
Mission name: F16 and B52
Hunt a Valstrax and a Bazelguese
Now that would be epic!
Indeed
9-11 survivor: "ptsd intensifies"
the valstrax and bazelguese's turf war would just be a one-sided affair where the valstrax does his comet move and bazel flies up towards it hoping to ram him, and the sheer force of them both colliding creates a MASSIVE nuclear explosion in the atmosphere high above, and bazel is on the ground with valstrax pinning him and roaring triumphantly before they resume their normal fighting.
3k damage
@@jakedge3 Or you know, they team up to nuke you into oblivion
could be an Ace Combat x Capcom collab quest
Hunter: Die monster! You don't belong in this world!
Valstrax: Tis' was not by my hand that I was given Jet wings, and I was called here by hunters who wish to slay me for tribute.
But enough talk. Have at you!
**play's this theme**
0:51 Gives me goosebumps.
I know it’s a bit of an odd part but 0:25 might be my favourite part. That hook of the high notes and the swell of it always gives this fight a desperate grand vibe
The feel of it is amazing...
As if this was the final boss theme for ALL of monster hunter
Deegz 21 - Yeah. It feels like a finale of some sort.
I know what you mean but I personally think that a better theme for that place is the music for the Final phase of Atoraru Ka. though this is a close second.
Atoraru Ka Phase 5 has some of the best music I've ever heard in the series.
Lasatar 64 - That monster has 5 fucking phases?!
Yep. Phases 1 & 3 are pretty similar to each other, same with phases 2 & 4, but they do have differences, so I'm listing them separately. Phase 5 is the real battle though.
Jesus Christ, i have never ever felt the feeling of soaring through the sky while winning agaisn't unbeatable odds and becoming the ultimate version of yourself better incapsulated into music.
This theme remains untouchable
Jet fuel can’t melt steel dragons

Reading this on 9/11
Valstrax can't melt Kushala Daora
I’m fairly certain that this is an old spice reference
"No, but we can."
*Preps Gunlance*
beautiful playlist of mhxx ost you did!
I can already feel those 4K HD jet engines carting me
You gonna wait a long time for that buddy.
May be sooner than you think
Maybe September
Oops you got pranked
Maybe in December or February
Y'know, if Valstrax ever comes to a Stories game, I can sorta imagine a scene where 0:51 plays as you break through the clouds with your new partner.
You know the first flight scene from HTTYD? Bit like that.
I'm convinced that at some point, in some forgotten design doc, they lost this track while composing proof of a hero, but this was meant to be the main theme, and it was years later when they found it and had to do /something/ with it, and valstrax's theme was born
Hands down one of the most epic monster themes of all of MH
And one of the most fun fights imo
i love how the rise version is faster-paced because CG Valstrax is in a franzied state and not in its right mind
Because of the dragon element right , just like deviljho got driven by dragon element
Here after the announcement. Welcome back you rocket dragon bastard
best theme in all monster hunter history tbh
At this point all of us know what is going to happen in the end of may...
(update)
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS
HELL YEAH!!!
VALSTRAX is announced for Monster Hunter Rise:
[everybody liked that]
@@BigLord finally...
Imagine hunters barely caught up with this giant rocket serpent. They fought well and one of them succesfuly climbed on Val's back.
"Okay. Okay. I got this."
While breathing heavily, he felt the creature's movement slowing down.
He thought he heard his friend yelled. About letting it go or something. But their voices were swallowed by the sound of jet engine which gradually increases.
And then 2:14 music start.
The wyvern went vertical straight toward the cloud above leaving the hunter hanging on its back.
"Oh? You're flying at me? Instead of running away, you're blast-dashing right toward me? Even though your predecessors warned you of the devastation wrought by my Comet Dive?"
"I can't shoot you in the face if I don't fly."
"Then come! Fly as high as you need to!"
One of the best battle themes of the whole series
Valstrax must join Rathalos as a boss in Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Your are so damn right
please
They could of made valstrax the boss and rathalos a character. Hey, if they could downsize Ridley, they can do the same to rathalos
@@staples515 yeah, but Ridley has arms and legs which are similar to the ones of the human. Rathalos doesn't has that. It would be a baby Rathalos.
Niklas Schwitzky
Good point. Honestly I just want some form of a playable character from monster hunter
Flying around at the speed of sound got Hunters to kill and to follow my pray now.
I don’t know whether to hug you are smack you and tell you to get out
I can't stop moving ahead! or some hunters will be blood stains on me instead!
Trusting in the comet you see!
I'm Valstrax and I'm very fast, want to see me fly around the world say when
okay now want to see me do it again
Indubitably you mean nothing to me
Indisputedly I am superior you see
A living silver jet so you bet I'm on it
Come let's see how you fare against the argent comet
monster hunter world was my first game in the series, but GenU was when i realized i loved the series to pieces. When i saw valstrax, i just... he is one of my favorite monsters ever. he's not a overpowered beast thats nearly impossible to kill, in fact in GenU he's kind of a pushover compared to other lategame monsters, with heavily telegraphed moves. But his sheer... awesomeness just sticks with me. Everything from his design and fight to his unique weapon mechanics is just unforgettable. for those who don't know, valstrax's weapons (in GenU at least, still farming for HR in Rise so i cant say yet) have an even split of white sharpness, and red sharpness, with no inbetween. even without handicraft, they boast one of the comfiest sharpnesses in the game just from how much white they give, Even if the damage of them is slightly lower for balance reasons.
valstrax is just cool, and nothing can really take that away from him
“It’s a bird!”
“It’s a plane!”
“It’s both and it will kill you if you piss it off.”
I never saw Valfalk but I can imagine with this theme it’s surely amazing
Luckyrickyroller X you seen kushala daora?
Luckyrickyroller X you seen kushala daora?
Yes but I forgot it’s theme lol
Kushala Daora is my favorite Elder Dragon actually!
Luckyrickyroller X he's on my list of favorite elder dragons
But valfalks scales are a silver gray with its head loosely resembling a falcon and its roar sounds like one too. Instead of wings he has jet engines that both serve for flight a d as weapons
Deviljho: i appear out of nowhere and eat what you try and hunt
Bazel: i fly in out of nowhere and shower the place with grenade scales
Valstrax: *_BANZAIIIIII_*
Everyday... Everyday I watch the sky in the Elder's Recess to see if you're here...
We are waiting for you buddy ☄
Edit: Well... Today I know I can stop waiting, but I hope I can RISE in the skies for find you again 😔
EDIT: And my hope will come true...
Happy to see you again buddy, we will have missed you very much 😢😭
And you come back to us, more silvery and crimson than ever...
Under the light of your shine, let's fight again!!!
And let's Rise up, until we make this fight sparkle... 🌌✨☄✨🌌❤
Thx for all the support guys 👍
COME TO ME MY CHILD, OH BEAUTIFUL ROCKET BOI PLEASE COME TO US
This monster seems dope af I would love to fight it in world and esp with this theme it's a banger
When will our baby boy be reunited with us again...
Valstrax is a blast to fight (get it?) But i daubt he will ever come to world the monsters from gu are a little bit to crazy for worlds more realistik style (i think) though id love to see the glorious rocket powerd elder dragon in worlds engine
I think that we wont see some monsters like gog,athal ka,narkarkos,cadeus,dire miralis and the morans for a long while they are just unike to their game
>be me
>hear my friends talk about MH
>they describe Valstrax
>that sounds fucking awesome
>they tell me about crimson glow
>i come into school next day to say I bought rise
Fighting Crimson Glow is the literally the best fight in a video game ive had
*Valphalk dive bombs you, chorus stops for a second, lol*
Joeynator3000 Bazelgeuse dive bombs you, Seregios pierces through your armor and Valfalk attacks you relentlessly. The finest of MH air squad
It’s because of the sonic boom of him going FUCKING MACH 1 LIKE SERIOUSLY HOW IN HELL DOES HE EVEN SURVIVE THAT?!??
Soapy Dragon HOW DOES HE? *HOW DO YOU!?*
Arkenyx Emeriel That should be an actual hunt, just fighting the three of them at the same time.
@@GrimReaver are you asking for hell at the level of Triple raging Deviljho in the same area?
Actually this thing is inspired from the fastest animal in the world ,the peregrine🕋 falcon. It simply dives bomb from the sky on its preys at 389km/h without any warning ,and slows down a little bit before the impact in order to give a fatal kick that usually one shot them.
The best send-off to the classic monster hunter style of games
This theme feel so heroic!!!!
And this guy easily became one of my favorite monsters.
We need Valstrax in Iceborne dude
Gabriel Balbinotto I need this to happen
If we play devil advocate would that be a bad idea since we already have a endgame dragon weapons that being shara ishvalda, and ruiner nergigante, and more importantly wouldn't be hard to make the set work because unlike other sets it gives you dragonblight when 2/3 below health but immune to elemental damage.
Gabriel Balbinotto Shara’s frame is Valphalk’s frame.
I'm getting hints of valstrax being added to iceborne, but eh that's just me.
Word
*Draco meteor intensifies*
Universus when you literally are the Draco meteor
If it was a physical move and if it was going MACH 1 in 5 SECONDS!
and yes, I did count
Poor zubat
Didn't stand a chance

I love how you’ve changed the title of the video now thats it’s finally getting localised :3
This theme is better than the Rise version 100%
Good to see this version still slaps harder
This sounds so amazing and heroic, it brings tears to my eyes...
Valstrax is very cool, and one of my favorites next to Gore & Shagaru.
End of May. The Crimson Glow will arrive...
AND IT HAS
Finally being ported! MY BODY IS READY!
Plz need help! My body isnt ready yet!
This theme is my favourite at the moment, it has such complexity and yet simplicity at the same time, all while your fighting a frickin' Dragon with Jet boosters
He’s back...THE BOY IS BACK
Before safi jiiva's nuke where he silent the song for a sec, remember when valstrax do his super epic sonicboom dive
Who's here after Crimson Glow Valstrax was revealed for monster hunter rise version 3.0?
No one because they are ogs
Wouldn't it be awesome to have this guy added to World? Just think of it, the Sapphire star vs the blazing Crimson star!
SalingsJ Imagine if there was a turf war between nergi and this guy. I'd say Nergi loses HANDILY.
Not going to happen. MHW is too realistic for awesome monsters to get in it's "living world".
