Hunters seeing Valstrax for the first time: Oh dang! *OW-*

@@drag0nerd It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's- OH SH-!

Hey look it's a red star! ... Why is it getting closer?

@@joshuavasquez4286 It's a bird, it's a plane. Oh, no it's *LOCKHEED MARTIN.*

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!

@@sleeplesswhipdcreme_nosleep cool thought about the bar color!

@@nonreturn7386 Thank you!

But the "all" portion fully cover "nothing" portion, almost zero risk

The valstrax battle theme is so fricking EPIC! I love it even though I never played monster hunter Generation and G ultimate

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!

Me healing up in some where Vlastrax: *ambush*

Lol I tried to panic dive out of reflexes.

Honestly other than the devs just stealing from others, that's the same thing I thought when I first saw Radahn on yt

Superman dive didn't work this time

"Nah its just a fighter jet with legs and eyes."

@@anameorsomething894 You've no idea what kinda Hell you've just unleashed for poor Valstrax....

"Oh and a mouth"

uh, it's a rocket-powered skarmory

Congratulations! Your Captain Falcon has evolved into a Valstrax!

TEST FAILED*

LMAAAAAOOOOO

*chew*

Mach 1 in 5 seconds MORTALS!

Chew

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

@@michaelsnyman2800 why would you spoil that and ruin the surprise

@@javieralba4333 so sorry, I put in a spoiler warning and will for all my future spoiler comments

I FREAKING CALLED IT

It aint rise without the rising comet

That’s exactly why I came here

Jet boi go brrrrr

This theme is easily one of my favorite flagship themes. That and the Brachy 3U theme. I can't wait to fight him again.

Yes

Same

👌

Wait why would he wish to die ?

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

Frijolito Azul you still got the footage?

*Carts*

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.

@@pubfriendthegreat1259 I love how the rose version sounds less heroic and more like it’s fallen from grace. It’s very subtle but really good

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.

That's some ff dragoon sh*t

Plus aerial style, you could jump across the old desert map with it

It won’t be an insect glaive anymore it will be a jet glaive omg

@@hussainkhamis8872 you shoot the insect and it disappears into the stars if you miss

XxReTr0 xX Hm now this is some good logic How about that the insect glaive would take more time to comeback and instead of getting one buff you get two if you hit the head

director :(makes serious face) you know ...[team member name] you have to take a break team member : nervous face director : CUZ I FREAKING LOVE THAT IDEA

@@then00brathalos Months after the final boss was a mantis Pretty much a plottwist

"What about the online boss?" "A big mantis that shoots webs" "Oh okay that's pretty n-" "AND IT CONTROLS A HUGE MECH" "WHAT-"

Valstrax is the best monster

Hes not the final boss man

And now he’s very angry

It's gonna be really funny to see all of the gunlances charging into a charging valstrax and promptly dunking on him. You know it's gonna happen

When you unlock Valstrax in rise and now you can assert your dominance on him.

That would be awesome!

With a mutation... Awesome.

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes

Dalamadur and Valstrax, definitely

Yea!

Paperfiasco that’s pure gold!

BITCONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT

Jonathan Dee but what about bitdisconnect

Monster Hunter X Ace Combat

@Jonathan Roberts what

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.

Sharpen that weapon, eat your damn dangos and GO HUNT!!!

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

I understand how you feel, i felt like that too when I was about to deal with Jho for the first time

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😂

that would be amazing...and with this theme played ufff

asaeampan And?

He's three times faster than normal!!!! ( got it? Red comet, got it?)

@@thatbearsalmon7619 Huh But he isnt red

@@evoluder7616 When he fly at high speed he look like a red comet

underrated comment right here XDD

Are you deaf ? its playing with this too! smh

Bruh

Yeah, but can you really top the khezu's theme?

I see what u did there 😏

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 I bring good news

@@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.

Valstrax and Malzeno make my blood boil, in a good way. Their fights are more akin to Hunters dueling than a Hunter slaying a Monster.

Brachydios, next question.

Between Radahn and Placidusax he did it twice lmao

Shitpants.jpg

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*

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

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!

Lasatar 64 Capcom needs to hire you, man. xD Finally someone who gets it. lol

True! XD

monster hunter ptsd moment

This is a certified Valstrax 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.

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?

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

Well I mean, YOU are the hero here.

he behaves more like a jet fighter/missile in ace combat than a dragon

QUOTE OF THE DAY 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

EDGE

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*

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

LETS FUCKING GO

Ridin' that hype train for the greatest elder as well, eh?

SR71 is back

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.

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?

true

true

true

Damn you! Take my fucking like! 😆

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

Only if

+Wasabi the face says it all!

Dizzy Kiske Nice profile picture

More like 4.1k music

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

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

Ur boyfriend is the mf goat

I bought this game for my girlfriend too

AND IT HAS

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

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.

Don't forget astalos!!!!!

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

HELL YEAH!!!

VALSTRAX is announced for Monster Hunter Rise: [everybody liked that]

@@BigLord finally...

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.

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

True. Veteran hunter have enough

When they add Ultra Instinct Plesioth. *time for the Gen newbies to learn about our god* (written by the MHFU group)

I hate it when people are agressive to the new player base just because they feel special saying that they played previous games

@@rifaidriss6633 this isnt meant in bad tastes

He was pretty easy, but he was very flashy with his attacks

Because of the dragon element right , just like deviljho got driven by dragon element

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 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

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?!??
