10:42 Final Thoughts

+Aaron Schafer thank you! It's been a good learning experience (still is!)

dang you beat me to it

too fucking late

I always wonder why you sharpen a hammer

Pedders to make it more effective duh XD

AFD but hammers are supposed to be blunt to knock things out..

Because it is a Golf Swing

same... I wonder what kind of armor skills will benifit of that free evasion+

It was nice they added a new KO based weapon. But at the same time, kinda defeated the point of using a hammer.

BlaizeTheDragon They can add as many KO weapons as they want, the more the merrier. As long Hammer remains being the King of KOs.

CB RULES!!!

+Nebuladark Whoooa whoa whooa whoa whoooooa whooooa

+gaijin hunter (w/ Adept Style) Can't touch dis!

I actually ALWAYS do those... xD

results?

Still haven't tested. I got tired of using the hammer. EDIT: Thinking back, it has to be Wing Res Hi. Before I even found out about the Wind Res, I took on a high rank Kushala Daora and I didn't once get knocked over by it's dark wind barrier.

Robert Williams It's Wind Res High. I learned that back in MHFU.

So that's been a feature of the weapon since way back. Interesting.

Strong but no longer OP. Which is how balancing should work. Not make an already naff weapon worse *looks at gunlance*

+BlaizeTheDragon switch axe is op now, aerial style, sword mode, spam dodge. Kill monster

SilentDarkness Attack But aerial gets rid of my favourite basic move and when you've used switch axe since tri, it's infuriating. I did give aerial a go but it's not my cup of tea. (plus aerial pretty much NEEDS dash juice and demon riot to be that powerful otherwise it munches through stamina and your switch gauge instantly)

Hammer is more balanced also It provide more time to move around

Nah mate, gunlance is the best weapon in the game. Insane reach? check Amazing Shield? check Explosions actually capable of breaking Mizutsune's claws? check Air explosions that can combo into badass ground slams? check Infinite combo possibilities? check Some of the best arts in the game? check Easy-to-manage heat gauge allowing for more blazing poke damage? check It can shotgun, it can swipe, it can stab, it can slam, it can combo all of these together, and it can break any part with ease. It even has it's own cooldown special move that no other weapon has. It had a hunter art, before hunter arts existed! Mobility problems? BAM, Blast Dash and Evade Extender save the day! with the former ALSO allowing for mounting damage, and a fullburst straight after. Heat Gauge giving you trouble? Wyvern's Breath to the rescue! Three minutes of maximum heat gauge! For three full minutes, deal maximum possible dps, with an added bonus of extra shelling damage, it works even if you overheat! And wyvern's blast has to be the single, best, attack in the game for knocking down a flying monster, not only does it have a very fast startup, but the first hit does huge burst damage, knocking almost any wyvern out of the sky, the other hits that follow are just the icing on the cake. The weapon even has three different types for three completely different playstyles, forget about phials and other minor alterations of playstyle, these three shot types affect shelling damage, range, heat gauge size, the rate of heat gain, the amount of shots, the damage bonuses for certain shots, and more. Seriously, this weapon is so diverse, it puts bowguns to shame.

But the Alatreon HM is not so strong anymore the Deviant Tigrex HM is similiar the best in the Game

dam that hurts but it more so just brings me back abit to tri were i met alot more ppl

There is no variety in mh4u, this video is from mhx

+Matthew Thompson yeah they really did an amazing job and it makes it feel great

+gaijin hunter The LS impresses me the most with the awesome white after affect it gets when you level up the spirit guage. It's so simple but makes all your attacks look even more amazing. Another thing that adds to why the animation looks so clean is not even the weapons, but the hunter. The hunter just looks completely comfortable and confident when controlling their weapons with such ease. The hunter moves seamlessly when attacking and moves naturally to the flow of combat. You feel badass watching your badass hunter fight these badass monsters with badass weapons while looking badass. Truly spectacular. PS: Holy crap you responded to me! Thanks man! Keep being badass!

Also, had NO idea that you could press A after an aerial vault to do the double smack! Oh Malfestio... If you thought I kicked your ass before, prepare to have a traumatic brain injury THIS time!

UPLOAD MOAR BRUH

SA is now the most broken weapon in game.

+drckml yeah it sounds like SA are quite strong in Generation, I dropped it in MH4U though cuz it felt too simple while not providing the style LS and Hammer made me feel (that and keeping up to date on 3 full weapon type was getting ridiculous zenny wise). Might give it another shot much like Bow/SnS/DB but so far it's going to be LS/Hammer all the way.

Acatia2 You bet is it. SA's hunter arts stacks together. Something that's really amazing With my set, I'm literally running 75-90% affinity plus super crit(new skill that increases crit damage) and nonstop 20% damage boost from my hunter art that lasts throughout the match. I don't even reload anymore when I'm on sword mode because of one of the HA filling up your sword mode gauge. and wanna know something crazy? this HA that reloads your sword gauge also gives you 20% affinity that last throughout the match too if you do things right. Hence I was able to reach 75%-90% possibly 100% affinity with Seregios SA. Its crazy but its true lol

+drckml yeah those arts look pretty crazy, I take it you're a Guild/Striker SA user then. I admit the Hammer arts aren't hitting me too strong (guess that's mostly on LS for me). Then again when CB were broken people still liked em so you should still have a blast if SA really are that crazy.

IMO typhoon trigger my favorite hunter art of the hammer. As everyone knows: the last hit has extremely high KO damage and is the only reason I use the art. While I do agree with it being hard to aim a tip is to use the hunter art behind the monster and attack when the monster faces you. But really it's mostly used at a toppled monster

It is quite overlooked. I rarely see people take advantage of the fact that it arcs in the opposite direction of the golf swing and the other spin finisher so you can snipe heads from the monster's left side too. Playing the hunting horn made me appreciate it.

Haha It was the same for me:D I always played with 2 friends (first timers, me being a veteran I guess:P). I played gs or hammer (for low and highrank at least) and they Glaive and dual blades. Using the hammer was really fun^^ after the KO my buddies always managed to get the tail

I'm a hammer user and i'm going to try the lance for this game. it looks really fun

+DragonitetheMaster96 I've mained hammer since Freedom 2

Mega Dash Juice and now ? the Golden Jin Armor is Shit ^^

+Lars Kupfer item management is shit, id rather be able to efficiently manage stamina than rely on an item, besides farming mega juices is just an absurd waste of time.

As I say "to each his own" and I respect you using aerial. However, as an adept hammer main i'll say that adept is amazingly good with the hammer! I think of the hammer as a medium speed weapon than a slow one. It's attacks aren't that slow rolling and rolling in the middle of the x-x-x combo isn't that hard to do. Adept also gives the hammer a barrier of protection since you can just dodge through any attack in the game. It's adept attacks are incredibly powerful as well and are the ones that lead to the most KOs (for me) since they all have pretty high KO damage. Adept also fits with the hammer's play style of waiting for the right opportunity to attack

Nope.

Instead of faster charging, you can't overcharge with Striker Style meaning the damage penalty is completly lost but you also lose the Chrged Slash.

+Jordan William literally freedom's unite GS again, but with three slots for cool moves :B

Tony-André Knutsen cause it is

yes

why wouldnt tail cutting still be a thing? its actually helps during some hunts like shortening rathian's poison tail range by a ton

Have you ever tried lance? Just asking

a few times in mh4U, not really a fan of it >w

Same here, has no dramatic effect and the amount of moves it has bores me.

Michael Bunn Yeah, that's my main issue, I'm sure it's an OK weapon, it just does not appeal to me as much as other weapons, Imight try Lance and GL at some point in Generations :P

I quite like gunlance in 4u, it has a complex combo system and you have to decide quickly whether to drag the combo on with shots or go for a big full burst at the end. It also has a variety of moves, and almost all of them can be combo'd together, and in generations it has the new heat gauge, so im probs gonna make it a backup weapon.
