Thanks for watching fam! Don't forget to like the video and subscribe if you're new ;) Watch my full Monster Hunter Rise Playthrough here = kzfaq.info/sun/PLqmVBM9q-Ed-_ZpW4BI5hE7NQT3IQ6-MH

I am honored the Longsword master himself has graced us with a tutorial.

FYI, Iai is 2 Japanese words together, 居 'i' + 合 'ai', so it is pronounced like "ee-eye". Anyway, thanks for the video! I am new to Monster Hunter, and this guide has really helped me understand the Long Sword.

You made me make LS one of my mains and now I love it. lol

I don't even play longsword but love watching your videos!

your vibes are just so contagious and positive, your videos always make me feel energized

That intro clip was the definition of “I’m not trapped in here with you, you’re trapped in here with me”

Thank you so much for this guide. By far the most comprehensive, yet easy to follow tutorial I’ve seen. I just picked up the game, and I was having a lot of trouble with timing and spacing. 👍👍

First video I've seen with great detail as well as demo of application in a fight with all small errors as well. Thank you from a casual gamer

Finally, I get to get good as u. Thank you so much for this video 👍

This is the best tutorial for anyone new to mh even I learned despite playing since tri

Today todayyyy we finally have a guide!! Nicely done!

I got my first MH game just a week back. Rise on the switch. And I am so thankful you made this tutorial. Your other beginner level videos are also great and have been super helpful for me to get started.

I've watched the top three videos for "monster hunter rise longsword" and I can't tell why this is the third result. This is the best one by far.

Ive mained longsword for the last half year on Iceborne and now in Rise but this video made me realize that although I believe im adequate at LS and even beat rise with it, that I have crippled myself from actually become adept at the weapon. Now im excited to try out the new things ive learned on this!

No disrespect to peppo, but there's something so SMOOTH about learning the longsword from the LS master DG.

Just making the change to Longsword to prep for Sunbreak and this tutorial was the best one! Good work bro 💪🏾

I played safe in world with shields and guns. But in rise on pc I decided to learn melee. Felt like a stick in the mud with longsword til I discovered the iai slash that auto charges. I'm playing a whole new game now melee is a blast. And now you've shown me the iai spirit slash and how to practice foresight timing, this is gonna be fun.

First LS guide I've seen that actually shows off and gives some advice on timing of the attacks, nice one!

Thanks for this video king.

As Monster Hunter Rise released on PC just yesterday, I just started out and this video was very helpful. Because the game actually doesn't explain the most important move to you, in my first 2 hunts I didn't even find out how to do a Helmbreaker, then I went into the Hunters Notes which I probably just should have done earlier lol. Since most weapons stayed largely the same as in World, everything is going smoothly so far. But the number 1 thing in this video that I didn't get yet that deserved you the Like on it's own is that I did not realize that Spirit Iai Slash levels up my gauge now. I knew that they changed it from world so it no longer costs a level. But I didn't know that it was actually buffed so much that it gives a level on top of that. I will definitely look to adjust my playstyle when compared to world now. It's gonna be hard to get that Foresight muscle memory out of my brain though.

If you guys need a rundown all about LS? This is us guy right here and I appreciate the builds he showcased with the deepest night LS.

damn, this opened my eyes especially on countering with iai and foresight, thank you so much!

Bro love your Monster Hunter content. Keep it up!

I am a total beginner and this video guide is really helpful and informative. Thank you man!

My favorite with full spirit gauge is wirebug up, zR in the air, zR immediately after landing, then instead of the roundhouse slash at the end; I use the wirebug double slash thing. It’s amazing and it’s also how I usually cut off tails

SWEET!!! nice and slick moves you got there bro!

I made a dumb combo that is really satisfying to pull off! It goes iai counter, to sakura slash, back to iai sheath ready for the next counter. Got into doing this because I don't like helm breaker in this game!

Late to this video but thank you for this guide, I just switched from bow to longsword so it's good to see how to use it effectively.

I never subscribe to anything but you earned this, your guide is really easy to understand and is scarily complete, really awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear game is so good 👍👍👍❤️❤️

I really enjoyed this tutorial, very informative and now I feel a lot more confident in my LS gameplay thanks again big dog!

This weapon is fun, I'm glad I tried it this time around.

Thanks for this DG!

Thanks bro guide helped me tremendously 👍💪

In world I mained Charge Blade for like 500h... in Rise I tested sword and it's so fun, I don't know what they changed but counters are so juicy when it lands

Tried Generations Longsword and absolutely hated it Picked up Rise, and tried Rise Longsword Immediate reaction was "oh my god I need to learn this immediately"

LS looking extra stronk. Can’t wait till I get around to using it in Rise

I play longsword too but if you do a video like this you also can say something about skills which one you recommend, which you use etc.

Just what i fkn needed

No lie man, I actually avoided Longsword so I can wait for you to drop a guide. Longsword is only one of my 'flex' weapons but it is one I got pretty good with in World. I figured since I'm learning some new weapons that didn't interest me until Rise I'd just put off Longsword for a bit. I know you're skilled and tend to find all the little tech that others don't usually talk about, so what better way to get caught up on the Rise LS than to wait for your video?

New to monster hunter and havent quite decided on my main weapon yet. So far switch axe has been the easiest to pick up, id love to get long sword down but i just cant get the spacing andtiming down for counter attacks etc.long sword looks “brainless” at first but feels like theres definitely technique that separates a proper LS main and a guy just spamming buttons (im the second one)

Thanks for this guide . Dance & hit with the LS. In foresight we trust

Contrary to popular belief the spirit reckoning combo is actually not faster than regular spirit blade. If you do the whole spirit blade combo it’s actually slightly slower until you can sheath your weapon. If you do it after an iai slash or fade slash then the speed is about the same. You want to go into special sheathe after the reckoning attack, otherwise rolling out or manually sheathing leaves you open and is slower. Spirit reckoning has a lot of other advantages though, it does high damage and costs less sharpness, and dividing slash is great to reposition. Spirit reckoning seems to be better for high skill players who are confident in their ability to iai spirit slash, and rely more on that to build gauge as opposed to foresight slash. Doing the spirit reckoning combo after a foresight slash is slower and more dangerous than roundslash so you need to pick your openings or use spirit slash to build gauge. I like doing a foresight then canceling into special sheathe to then do an iai spirit slash if I see another attack coming

How do u do foresight slash so perfectly? Rise nerfed FS really bad. In World I had no problem hitting them.

As a dual blades main, I’m interested!

Did you forget R2 + O (PS4 console) skill where u will spend 2 bugs? It counter the monster attack like almost 100% guaranteed.

Like saying it's like dancing 🕺 using a counter is letting the monster leading. You beating.

I played Bow in world, have not finished Iceborn yet about 150 hrs in Started Rise but prefer it more as it is not as clunky and slow paced ad world. Also gathering is not a pain as world. Started S&S in Rise, now changing to longSword. I could not get the counter with IA slash as I did not realise you were using the R2 (on PS5 and not the triangle LOL) took me 3 hrs and I gave up, I could not understand why counter was not possible :D Now it is possible, tx :D

Eyy my palicos named Mr Whiskers too

I noticed everytime you do the Iai slash u glow a little bit blue is this the signal to press the RZ button to land the slash right?

*meet your new instructor*

can u tel what build ur using on the last video ?

You forgot that spirt attacks can go through though areas of the monsters so your weapon doesn't bounce

I just picked up long sword today and your guide really helped out! I did the rajang arena and best it on my 3rd try! It was a real struggle though, 14 minutes of running like an idiot I got the iai counter down but the foresight slash confuses me. Any tips for the timing?

i wanted to use the longsword but it got confusing when i was unable to pull off any of the moves so i moved to the hunting horn

In would but my spirit gauge doesn’t even work/ buttons

I'm having a hard time getting lateral slash to work. I just did it. And now I can't do it again...... EDIT: Okay I got it, it has to come after another move like a step slash or a thrust.

What’s ur layered armour?

please teach us sensei

“Your not always gonna land the Iai Spirit Slash” Not with attitude you won’t comrade

i guess I'm gonna try ls

You had to pick Rajang didn't you =) My first LS run in Rise was with Rajang, and I had to take a break for a while not to break the Switch...

Do you play with the Pro Controller?

how do i pull off the special sheate? all i do when i press zr+ B i roll

Not to brag but im probably as good if not better than DG, but I had to click on the video to give the homie his views.

Till They Nerf Quick Sheath..
