As someone who used to spam the Muscle Monkey Madness quest, Rise-jang was absolutely neutered. Rajang, imo should be on par with the Apex fights/elder fights and he barely feels on par with regular Rathalos and zinogre. Disappointing. (Also I loved the world version of his theme so much)

That's not true as far as I know. Akantor and it's counterpart sure but not rajang I don't think Edit: did two minutes of research and no the guild immediately recognized it as a fanged beast when it was discovered but old legends made it seem like one

@@angellara7040 Wasn't it classified as Elder Dragon in Dos tho?

@@kingofflames738 no he was a Pelagus after all he wasn't the only monkey

@@angellara7040 I'm pretty sure the implication was that before the guild started making recorded research observations, all the information that existed about Rajang consisted of tales and myths depicting it as an elder dragon. But then once they actually found and began researching it their reaction was: "Okay, yes, this thing is indeed ridiculously strong but that is a Fanged Beast and not at all an elder dragon."

@@joshuakim5240 that's what I said

Your complaining about Rajang...the monster that is known for choke slamming Elder Dragons...being enraged a the time What are your thoughts on Furious Rajang

@@drxavier1870 That in Rise I wouldn't see much of an aesthetic difference. Furious Rajang is special because he's enraged all the time, that doesn't work if regular Rajang is already enraged all the time.

I agree, toppling it after hitting his tail and getting it out of super Saiyan just to get up and go again doesn't feel rewarding for doing such task

@@drxavier1870 Furious Rajang getting angrier is always the scariest part of the hunt!

Counter-Argument, Iceborne just has poor hitzones. Old Rajang had great hitzones, Rajang was a complete Glass Cannon that cracked when you understood the fight. Iceborne's Rajang, while incredibly fast and leaving few openings, is still dealing with highly mobile hunters that can get some hits in even if you have to take the fight slower. Issue here is that your dmg is incredibly nerfed unless you're hiting the correct weakspot...and tenderizing it before hand. The *lack of openings* are kind of what people should expect when going into a Rajang fight in WorldBorne because Rajang's existence is meant to counter the hunters of the respective game. Traps-Can Disarm Or Fight Through Them. Flinch Knockdown-Better Hope He's Not Near A Wall. The New Clutch Claw-Pulls You Off Unless You Got The Timing Right.

@@bigmoe9856 Actually, that's a great point yeah - imo IB Rajang is just so... frustrating, probably because hitting him feels bad, and it's just 15 minutes of chipping away at a crackhead monkey until it dies or you give up by exhaustion lol

I think Master rank will fix that.

@@yohoopzcrazy4629 Tenderizer just makes it a chore of a fight like with the rest of Iceborne hunts. But a Rajang who basically says "You Know What? FUCK YOU! You don't get free dmg for flinching me-I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU" when he grabs a wall is not only amazing-it's the most Rajang thing I can think of throughout the entire series.

Fuck the wall jump attack Pretty much punishes you for playing the game right Otherwise he’s fine

Haven't fought the world rajang, but I imagine the rise one is more or less an attempt to make master rank rajang high rank friendly, like how they did apex diablos compared to bloodbath (which just like world's rajang stands at grank).

i feel like its gonna be quite difficult for sunbreak to fix alot of the difficulty problems in rise. i feel like the ease of the game comes from two things. the mobility of the hunter and the healing. healing is way too strong in rise. pair that with being able to wirebug out of anything for a quick heal, and most monsters just dont really have a chance to make you faint. theyre gonna have to get creative in sunbreak if they want to balance that out

@@notoriouswreck3237 man I feel like I'm so bad at the game. Everyone says that rise can't be made harder but the daamaage boost in the emergency quests was a good start and just making them faster with less animation delay would be enough

@@notoriouswreck3237 i trust the MH team. simply because we all underestimated Iceborne and thought "oh new monsters, gonna be easy" and then Barioth, Banbarro, the new Vaal, Alatreon, Fatalis, Velkana, Shara, Ruined Nergigante, etc. Came to be and most of the problems (us having way more versatile movements and options in world) became non existent. I trust them they will make it better. also healing's normal, you should've seen World. Vigorwasp in every single map and place known to man. Add it with the fact that you can now automatic combine and herbs turn into potions instantly and the requirements of getting potions have been reduced (before you needed blue mushrooms and herbs, now just herbs) and the added skills that boost your health and keep you from dying and basically being immortal. The healing in rise isn't a problem

@@AlejandroRodriguez-cy8ee mh rise is made by the secondary team, not the primary, so u cant really use ice borne as an example of their methods. also, how in the fuck do you think the healing is normal? notice how many things u had to list to make healing seem just as strong in world (it isnt btw). in world, u drink a heal and its a gradual heal, fills u up slowly. in rise, half of the heal is instant and the other half is gradual. pair that with wirefall and thats an instant dash out and heal

Mashing is stupid as hell and I hate any game that incorporates it. There's already a huge problem with drifting analogue sticks and mashing makes it worse. Out of all the examples you could use to explain why Rajang is easier, this ain't it.

Haha, youve never seen the true brokenness that is mh4u’s mounting, mhg/gu’s hunter arts and styles and the mantles and clutch claw of world/iceborne.

The thing is our hunters by default are pretty fast, especially if they make good use of the wirebugs. So a faster Rajang would not have been a problem. But instead they made him slower than GU Rajang which was a mistake tbh. Part of me thinks they really should just make Iceborne Rajang the default Sunbreak Rajang

@@HeavyWings I really hope they don't. Fighting him in Iceborne felt like a chore with all those mechanics that hard-punish the player for minor mistakes. Rise Rajang is far more fair but he is also a good bit weaker and ofc a touch too slow. And I don't know if that is even correct but did his head hitbox get bigger in Rise? I swear I don't bounce on his arms nearly as often, which is good because Iceborne could be ridiculous at times. What I want the least though is a return to old monke. Half the challenge was the jank and with that mostly gone I don't think the fight would work.

@@Godslayer96 come on... Iceborne's Rajang (tempered furious Rajang, also) lets a lot of windows before attacking. I have killed the tempered furious with HH in less than 15'. It obly requires a considerable amount of knowledge about his moveset.

@@Godslayer96 man just learn the fight. IB Rajang had plenty of openings. This is coming from a GS user.

@@abyssalrayz9499 I really like how everyone always assumes that I am bad at the fight. I am very much allowed to dislike something even if I am good at it. I normally use GS as well and think Furious is easier than normal. I just don't like the fight in general. I have soloed every version of Rajang in Iceborne and I think the fight is not fun but rather complete frustration.

I guess rajang is just sleepy

Grank... I know it's G-Rank but still... Just Grank.

@@godknightomega What do you mean by this?

@@LeBaileyIII You made me laugh because you called G-Rank, "Grank". Which I will now steal and start calling it such when I'm with my buddies.

@@godknightomega I always pictured the word as g rank in my mind but never once considered pronouncing it as shown XD. *"Grank"* is pretty funny

@@LeBaileyIII Indeed, thanks for the laugh today by the way.

I personally think that the main reason hes so easy in rise is due to the fact that its only high rank rajang and most of the rajang hunts in other games are G rank hunts which is why i think it feels easier

I think something is off with the tracking though? Rajang feels so underwhelming for me bcuz often times his spin jump will land right behind me and the laser targeting feels off too. I dont think im a dodge master either, just try and focus on rajang, dont attack just try to read his moves. 80% of them can be dodged by walking normally or standing still

@@vincentpey3929 He was really easy in HR 4U

@@philipearakaki exactly its only especially appearant in rise because of the huge mobility increase of the hunters

@@philipearakaki Honestly HR Rajang in older games is harder because he just spams shit with no patterns.

How about you watch the video and realize he is not comparing it to World's Rajang? Even specifically says the same thing you did?

@@RiskOfBaer I did watch it. The comment on World's Rajang was actually meant to be in agreement to what he said, and a note to other people here who keep *saying* World's Rajang was harder. So apologies for that slight mixup. The rest of the comment though is meant for HW in general as it is true that experience will be the biggest key factor that dictates how hard something ends up being in a game like MH. If you've played the game before you will most likely find it a lot easier.

Yeah but iceborne rajang doesn't have patterns

I really want to see rajang punish players for abusing the wirebug

@@QuangPham-gh5un Grabs the wire n' yanks you into his fist, hue

Agreed. Though he also needs to keep Rise hitzones.

O.o what if when you go airborne via wirebug anywhere near him when he's not attacking he does an Instagrab that slams you into the ground before yeeting you away.

He feels slow but rise Aldo has the smallest ifra.e from dodge in the series. It's almost non existent. So it might be too much if he was too fast.

Ive been fighting rajang with GS since MHFU even though im not a GS main, its really easy to exploit him once you know his vulnurable windows and I prefer to fight it alone since it will mostly target me, whiffed his attacks and left himself vulnurable especially in 4u.

@@geebon5850 same. The buddies are nice but it’s harder when he targets someone else and you get caught up in the mix.

@@abyssalrayz9499 that’s what makes it fun for me, I get to see my friends being fisted by rajang and show off in front of them too when he’s targeting me.

Apex Rajang PTSD.

You clearly haven't played Rise if you think that "Rise Rajang is one of the most aggressive and is almost always on attacks", that is wrong as not only is Rise Rajang slow but also he pauses way too much after many of his attacks, lastly all of his attacks are telegraphed, you can react to them fairly easy either by ridiculously over powered silkbinds or by using one level of evade extender which is another broken skill alongside everything that is in Rise. Despite everything that is slowing him down and working against Jang, if he somehow managed to hit you just once either because you were greedy or unaware, that's not a problem because wirefalls are broken AF. With almost no downtime on them at that, it's fight is butchered and gutted to make it easier for the new fans, you are delusional if you think otherwise, you can have an opinion, but don't act as if you are telling facts while sharing them. Now you also compared silkbinds/wirefalls to Clutch claw i see, saying that it's more broken than silkbinds.... Do you realize how comparisons are made, or do you just keep on putting words until they become a sentence regardless of whether they make sense or not, that or again you haven't played MHWI. Clutch claw was a massive nerf to weakness exploit which added a unnecessary chore. All of the monsters hitboxes take less damage unless you are tenderizing them. That's not broken, that's just BS chore added on the hunts which is hated by almost everyone by the community. The right comparison towards the silkbinds would be the retarded temporal mantles. Which were OP but always had a timer, in which case Rise mobility, silkbinds and wirefalls take the cake because the gameplay of Rise is developed by taking those said tools in mind. There's not a single scenario where you are forced to use mantles in MHWI unless you wanted to go through the air lift shortcut in Coral high lands. As a matter of fact you could just not equip them, whereas in Rise the tools i mentioned are mapped to your controls. I hope that SunBreak expansion tune down the wirebugs a little now that the newer audience has played base Rise and have learned. But that's guaranteed that SunBreak will increase difficulty as is the tradition.

​@@stephenjohn2131 I was only stating my opinion regarding Rajang in Rise. in rise, before the emergency quests, yes, Rajang WAS one of the most aggressive monsters in the game outside of Apex's. And while more experienced players will find his gaps long, it was short when compared to the rest of the large monsters in the game. If you know how to deal with rajang, he is easy and if not, he destroys you. This is how he was in every low rank iteration of the monster. You also missed the point where I said that fighting Rajang (as well as Magnamalo) is a nightmare with wirebug actions on COOLDOWN. If an unexperienced player does not manage wirebug action usage properly against him, they will be in huge trouble, especially if rajang is enraged or not exhausted. Wirefall, at start, has a cooldown of about 13-15 seconds (I don't recall the exact number), but that is enough times for rajang to squeeze out about 3-4 attacks, depending on which ones he uses ofcourse. If you get hit at this time, you are going to have a bad time. Like I said in the previous comment, he teaches you how to play rise better, by punishing you if you don't use them smarter, just like magnamalo. Im sure he will be a bigger threat in SB, so until then, we will just have to wait. Also, I believe Clutch Claw ruins World, that is just my opinion. I don't like how much power it gives the hunter over the monster (wallbang loops, force enrage, etc) as well as how tedious it is to use in general, especially since you are basically FORCED to use it since monsters almost always need to be tenderized. Of course some people like this mechanic and some don't, same with wirebug. This is how I feel about Rise Rajang and clutchclaw, not saying you HAVE TO agree, that's how opinions work. But if you are going to speak your opinion here in KZfaq comments, there's no need to come off as a condensating ass.

When was rajang a final boss tho?

I loved fighting him in Iceborne, probably one of the most fun fights after Fatalis, who was in a league of his own when it comes to making you feel like a hero. I don't think he was overbuffed, he was hard to approach in the beginning but turned out to be an incredibly fun fight once you got into the right rhythm.

But he was always kind of like a final boss though. It's just weird they changed that tradition.

I didn't compare Rise Rajang to Iceborne Rajang. In fact I even said that I thought it was fine that specific version of Rajang wasn't in Rise.

@@HeavyWings I never said you compared them though? And I'm just speculating through difficulty, not the actual game versions. I get both versions were different, but I'm just speculating how it could go down. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I'm just saying that Master Rank Rajang in Rise could possibly put up more of a fight and gain some cool new moves or old moves from previous games, I'm more just excited to see what these monsters can do and how they interact with the environment :) Edit: Maybe I should have pointed it out, if I did mess up in my explanation of comparing the two versions, sorry for the confusion.

But deviljho was hard in world's high rank so i don't think it being a high rank monster is reason at all.

@@jdawg8127 on the topik of bringing back old moves, does anyone else miss rajangs boulder throw from 4u? It wasnt in iceborne or rise wich i think was really dissapointing, for me the boulder throw was about as iconic as his lazer (it could also be a pillar or bone instead of a boulder depending on the map).

@@vincentpey3929 I would love that move to be brought back!

I've been trying to figure out why a lot of fights feel "samey" in rise, and I think it's because there is little to no punishment for the player when they get knocked down on the floor after an attack, we always wirefall out of any danger. You are correct though, this is the least I've been afraid of rajang since.....4u? (Edit) even in high rank too! For Jyura and tobi, I think it's just players weapon choice, for me tobi is a bit harder cause I use a slow moving weapon against a fast monster. So it might skew the monsters true difficulty

@@navi8801 If you just Ukemi out of Damage everytime than you will just get bitchslapped by the monster again in GRank, where monsters will combo you harder and you will have way less life. If you lay down on your back you still invincible during your lay down animation, for monsters with long combos, this is the most optimal choice.

Tobi and Jyura are stronger because they are Four Star Monsters in Rise, instead of Three star monsters in World, they also had their movesets amped, Jura does some Pleisioth things and Tobi does some Viper Tobi things now.

I know it’s 5 months past, but another horn user here. Im super average at it, but you just gotta play it careful. You can only really get one hit off for each of his attacks, but they add up

In 4U I named every palico I found after SP characters, I don't really make that effort anymore but I always call the first palico Darquesse as tradition.

Just finished my response to the survey . I hope you do make a video on this!

Great video! Completed the survey :) Keen to see the results

How long is this survey going to go on for?

@@TheSoldierChristian Probably closing it sometime next week.

I died to rajang many times because it's lasers bypass shields

*Wirefalls out of attack* Rajang: *just grabs you midair* "It's over prime"

You understand. FU was my first game and Rajang was my first G-rank wall, the versions of him in games since GU have all been fuck ups when it comes to representing him from my perspective. The best version of him was in 4U for sure. I miss Apex monsters and the frenzy virus.

@@LokiHades ehhhhhh it was a neat mechanic in theory but in practice the deflection part was not very fun. I like Rise's iteration of apex where the focus is put on aggression and changed movesets more than just "it's crazy fast and most of your hits deflect without wystones". Maybe it would've been better not being limited to 3ds controls, idk.

@@Doc_Fun I can see what you’re saying but I liked it from my perspective because of how the popular GS meta was at the time. Generally speaking you’d go for conservative charged attacks because you didn’t have tackle options. The frenzy virus forced you play more aggressively or be penalized, making hunts riskier for my normally safe style of play. The deflecting definitely could have used tuning for the apexes themselves to be a bit more fair. Obviously the experience will be different depending on what weapons you like the most. As a mainly solo GS it was a great mechanic since the monster was concentrating on you, making it easier to to turn frenzy into an advantage by understanding the monster’s patterns

don't forget Rajang throwing Spirit Bombs

@@camil3545 was only in frontier tho xD

The devs removed the boulder throw because they said that it leaves rajang too open. It became a good opportunity to get free hits on him. Not a very strong argument if you ask me. They definitely could have found a way of incorporating it. I suppose the table flip move where he picks up the ground serves as the replacement. Still cool, but not as cool as the boulder throw. Still sad to see it gone

@@WisdomAkpan211 just decrease his downtime, or give him the ability to do a followup attack to catch hunters off guard, maybe he could have a boulder throw into spin combo, the move is way too cool to just be forgotten.

probably will be more powerful considering Rise only goes up to High Rank, while Iceborn brought him in at G/Master Rank.

Yeah difficult and fun like Fatalis or for me kulve but rajang?

@@fabinagl7601 definitely in line with fatalis or alatreon. They were tough but fun fights. Every attempt you learned something and wherever you messed up it was because of you. I always saw them as fair fights
