Turf Wars are when two monsters meet in-game and start fighting, and they're of the many great additions Monster Hunter World brought to the series, so much so that they appeared in Iceborne, Rise and Sunbreak. There's been an interesting evolution through each game as more turf wars are brought back and new ones are introduced, and I think it would be interesting to explore how they've been used in each entry.

I loved how you possibly made us discover new turf wars as I didn't know the late sunbreak fights. A turf war I would have loved to see is Tigrex vs Diablos where the desert tyrant charge into Tigrex only to get repelled by a 360. Diablos follows with an attempted ambush like Rathian but get countered by Tigrex's roar. Tigrex finishes with either a charge breaking Diablos' horn or throws a boulder to stun him. Black Diablos would spin the fight by going further than regular Diablos to launch a jumping attack throwing Tigrex to the ground then finishes the fight with a tail slam. The winner leaves to eat since the fight is tiring. I think it would be a cool representation of both monsters' strengths and weaknesses and would change from the recycled turf wars.

Unironically Rathalos' copy and pasted turf wars in Rise are unironically really good imo Cuz they allow you to see what large monsters it preys upon with little to no resource cost. I think that territorial turf wars should be less and unique, but giving apex carnivores a copy and pasted hunting turf war where it smashes a bunch of medium sized monsters... maybe give them a chance to instakill that monster if it is not a target too!

TECHNICALLY the first turf war was in MH2/MHP2nd/MHF2 the velociprey in the jungle nest area would directly attack rathian (and possibly other monsters?) when you topple them specifically in that area, this was a running theme whenever that map appeared in the franchise, i think they may even possibly do it in sunbreak though im not sure on that one.

Honestly, this might be the coolest History/Evolution video you've done. I love the thoroughness and analysis of each of the turf wars, especially since they're relatively tricky to make happen in Rise/Sunbreak. And damn are those unique Rise/Sunbreak turf wars sweet. I love Malzeno and Primordial so much, plus Velkhana's new unique fights are stunning.

@RustyhairedAlp9575 2 ай бұрын

Would be cool if they started off with some recycled turf wars in order to have every possible large monster interaction potentially result in a turf war, but then change the recycled ones post-release to make them more unique from each-other. That way, the team could have more turf wars and the community can deliver feedback on the recycled ones on how to make them unique (like having great wroggy spray poison at a brute wyvern grabbing it).

I think you're putting a bit too much focus on stalemates. It's amazing to see the hierarchy in the World's ancient forest, but it also makes total sense for someone like Nargacuga not fit into it and be a much tougher match up for Rathalos. Also there shouldn't be a 100% clear "this monster is tier x so it beats all of these monsters, but loses to all of these" as it diminishes their strong and weak sides

Great video, I think it's worth mentioning the disparity of turf wars that include Tigrex, Nargacuga and Barioth. Although they are flying wyverns, I do think it is important to note that they exclusively have a different skeleton compared to to other flying wyverns like the raths and all the way to something like Legiana. In my head I always classified Tigrex and the other two as "Gen 2 flying wyverns" as opposed to The much more standardised Gen 1 flying wyvern skeleton. I always thought this to be the reason why any turf wars including them were heavily recycled.

I want to see variants of the same turf wars, like for Rathalos has alot of recycled animations, maybe one is he picks up the other monster, but other times he just goes for a claw swipe, or sweeping fire. Additionally, I think it was in IB, but sone turf wars had a random chance for either side to win, it'd be cool to see that in Wilds too. If Garangolm and Lunagaron come back, maybe during the ice breath part, sometimes Garangolm can power through and smack Lunagaron.

In World it sometimes occurred to me that the 2 monsters met again in the same area for a 2v1, just to later remember that their turf war cooldown is up again. It's really strange, and kinda annoying to deal with, so I hope they make the loser be scared of the winner in the next game. In Rise that kind of happened because any monster that can't be wyvern ridden will just try to get away no matter what.

Fun fact: if glavunus and rathalos fight is the upper levels of the ancient forest and elders recces rathalos is the victor. I’m also decently not a fan of magnamalo’s base turf wars. For one they are all copy and pastes and for two he absolutely breaks my immersion with how this huge fanged wyvern could literally fly thanks to hell fire. Also what a way to disrespect bazelgeuse by ignoring his blast prof carapace and his own bombs not to mention they can hold own against a nergiangte and had the strangth to escape jhos jaws. It’s just utter Garbo to me. It’s just one of the reasons that magnalmo is my least favoured fanged wyvern. Scored is pretty cool for how edgy he looks.

I get wanting less draws for the sake of more details on the ranking of monsters in the local food chain, but it feels like a waste of time when a monster trots into the area, gets in a turf war with your target, and the target monster wins, leaving zero reward for the hunter in a circumstance that really couldn't have been avoided.

I do have a question. Why is the 'power tiers' not being clean an issue again? Like the whole segement around the time stamp 55:23 to 56:00. Why is is this an issue? These aren't Dragonball characters we are comparing. The 'X monster is MORE POWERFUL than Y monster. Y monster beats Z monster and X monster loses to Z.' isn't a problem, a square version of it happened with the Fated 4 no? Just without turf wars. To me its sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining about something. I'd appreciate an explanation of the problem rather than glossing over it like its undisputed truth. "Its just seems like a mess to me." Isn't exactly a stunning explanation.

@themeekkat 2 ай бұрын

I agree. It's probably from his mindset of a linear pecking order, most of the time, and for their to be a power scaling thing. This is an issue with the MH community and others in general. It's kinda childish tbh as it's a middle school like thinking. Not even real life ecosystems always have a straight hierarchy. The food chain mindset is a very simple one. It's more of a food web. It's not really survival of the fittest but survival of who survives. (Which is funny when you consider heavy wings showed that while Bazel is strong, he is not a good match up against Magmamalo due to him being an explosive type of monster himself. ) One day a pride of lions take down an elephant. The next day quite a few lions get crushed by same Elephant. Same with a crocodiles, Buffalo Snake vs mongoose, Mongoose vs eagle Eagle vs snake Spider vs wasp (Sometimes wasps lay eggs in spiders. Specifically the tarantula wasp) Wasps vs frogs Spider vs frogs (Some spiders will have frogs as "pets" while others prey on them. And frogs can eat spiders.) I'm mostly speaking of kinds of animals here as there are a lot of species within a kind with many different dynamics. There's so much more to animals than the basic thinking of predator - prey or MUI Goku beats x characters, X characters beats y, why beats z therefore z can't beat MUI Goku. (I dare not add more names for a reason)

I absolutely love turf wars but it's clear there's a few problems, iceborne quantity over quality issue I think stems from 1. Dev short cuts 2. Iceborne Invader problem which results in a lot of copy pasting 3. Feelings like they need to have all the apex level monsters fight, I'd rather have a handful of really good turf wars to show off ecology and rivalry and acutaly take into account each monsters strengths then have a mountain of copy paste, I also don't like how they are very iron clad in power between monsters, it's a very strict higher rank beats lower rank unless your magnamalo in which case you get to be a spoilt child, or 2 monsters that are 5 star must draw even tho there's a huge disparity in power between monsters at every level, some punching well above thier weight and others acutaly being a lot weaker, like mizutsune and Gravious are not in the same weight class of power what so ever yet they are still considered 5 star monsters They have also left a lot of rivalrys without turf wars like the raths vs astalos and Seregios or rathian vs glavenus

A few things Pretty sure mizu ties with Zinogre. I've always thought of a win as the monster falling over for an extended period, trying to get up, like world, but Mizu doesn't fall over. I suppose the counter argument to this is that by that logic, Primordial Malzeno ties with Velkhana but I feel like the context is different for the conclusion of each fight. Primodial straight up folds Velkhana with a three piece combo definitively winning the fight but Mizu bubbles blasts zinogre, forcing it away. Pretty sure Standard Magnamalo has a the same turf war as Scarred, with Malzeno. I feel like there's a Mandela effect going on right now. I coulda sworn the turf war message popped up between Amatsu and Apex Zinogre but looking up KZfaq videos, not a single one showcased that. I wanna go by technicality on this one. Valstrax has one "Turf War" in Sunbreak with Amatsu because it's the only one monster that actually responds to the ambush. It's always called an ambush but to me, it's always been a turf war.

I have an idea for a brand new exclusive turf wars for monster hunter wilds since wild is teorized to be open world theres could be a posibility for more than 3 monster in one locale so i propose a unique feature calling -Rathian vs seregios if a seregios and rathian is this the same locale and both monster saw each other they would have a turf wars BUT if rathian is above 50% heatlh the turf wars would shown as seregios getting the upper hand but rathian manage to escape at the end but if rathian is below 50% heatlh seregios would proceed to beat rathian with no second chance for her but rathian manage to break free and fire a single weak fireball that only pushes seregios away as she proceed to let out a special roar that once finish are followed with a rathalos roar and a dive toward the seregios knocking it down and rathalos came down and proceed to check on rathian before telling her to fly away turn toward seregios and become enraged as a result of seregios hurting his mate that bring to the second one -rathalos vs seregios If a rathalos and a seregios is in the same locale or rathalos was called in by rathian and they saw each other they will have a turf wars it will started with seregios firing some sharp scale at rathalos only for rathalos to swat them off with a tailspin after that rathalos going in with a talon strike only for seregios to dodge it as both flying wyvern take to the sky and having an aerial war fair with each other before rathalos manage to grab seregios and slam hin to the ground dealing some damage and pin hin but gets kick off and seregios fire a couple off sharp scale at rathalos pushing him back before flying away in defeat

Imo I like the variability of turf wars with the likes of magna and velk and magna and kush/teo Because it properly illustrates why each of them win or lose Scorned and regular magna tie with velk because instead of making her flee immediately, velk actually attacks, however due to her weakness to fire, she would realistically tie with magna whereas teo is the elder dragon of fire and kush is resistant to fire HOWEVER weak to dragon mean that scorned wins whereas regular magna loses

For me it makes sense Chameleos has NO Turf War especially with other Elders. If you analyse Chameleos, you can figure out that Chameleos is not a Predator, his abilities are evolved to avoid fights. Clearly you can use invicebility and heavy toxins for offence behaviors, but thats not the deal of it. like a venomous Snake, who bites his prey and let it run away to die. On top speaking the facts, he has no carapace, his skin isn't build to resist damage, i don't know if Capcom ever said what Chameleos is eating, but i would say he lives up to his Chamelon paragon and eats Bnahambras, Vespoids and other Stuff like that and bullies smaller Creatures like Pukei Pukei does if he can. The only Turf Wars i think he would have would be Nergigante and maybe Malzeno in Fact of Nergi can shut down his invincebility and Malzo could find him with the curios who are maybe able to sence him by his Blood. Espinas stands on the oposite side of the Board. He is a Predator and has a highly evolved Carapace to resists heavy damage. Yes his Elemental/Status-abilities aren't that strong like Chameleos, but all over more build for fighting a Kushala than Chameleos, which his Turf War showcases perfectly. I hope you understand what i want to say, my english isn't really good at all ^^"

Did you guys know that there were sort of turf wars in all monster hunter? They are still hitting each other so it is sort of turf war but with cheaper damage

@ScanovatheCarnotaurus 2 ай бұрын

I personally don't care for recycled turf wars. World's turf wars were something special because of how unique they were. They communicated to you about the world you were in hunting. Iceborne onwards, it's just "animations" at this point. They don't feel that special when basically every monster has at least 1 recycled turf war. In my opinion, they should stay unique, even if that means there isn't a lot of them. Turf wars aren't NEEDED for every monster when they already fight and do damage to each other with basic attacks (Yes this is a thing, even if you don't see the damage numbers except for Rajang and Jho for some reason).

Isn't anjanath a stronger threat in general in Rise ? IIRC he appeared much closer to the endgame than in worldborne in Rise, which implies he's stronger and also makes him being stronger in turf of wars somewhat sensible

@HeavyWings 2 ай бұрын

It's unclear. He's encountered later in Rise than he was in World but that generally happens with returning monsters in the series, like all the 4U starters were high rank only in Generations. If Anjanath loses those turf wars then they still consider him to be weak, he's just HR6 for progression reasons.

@@HeavyWings Looking at hunter's notes and investigation positioning, it's also pretty contradictory ! His 'threat level' in hunter's notes puts him on equal level as narga and rathalos, which is clearly above where he was in world. But then in anomaly investigations, he at the same reward level as rathian, tobi-kadachi and... pukei-pukei, ouch...

I think Turf Wars should only happen withing "brackets". I will try to keep this short but basically Tigrex, Nargacuga, Brachy and Glavenus are one step below contender but one step above "apex hunters" like rathalos and diablos like you mentioned, and should only fight each other because they will destroy anyone below them. By Contender I mean Monsters like Magnamalo or Rajang who with enough experience might be able to fight an elder like Kushala but most likely will lose. That way we can get all the unique Turf wars without putting too much strain on the Devs. Like i said i tried to keep this comment short but i hope anyone reading this gets my point without misunderstanding it. Basically even Rajang who can win against Kirin should not fight Nergigante or other Elders and Tie.

Tbh i definitely think Rise and Sunbreak did them better in all areas Also for Magnamelo, it makes sense why his are the same given the flyinh monster is trying to get to its assumed safe place, the air, and then not getting a chance to do anything because Magnamelo basically says "Hey! I can fly too!" Also.i feel the recycling for Rise made a lot more sense then Icebornes (minus a few) Also several of these i didnt know about because either i never played the respective quests or i just got unlucky with the monster load out Or i fought one, got it into ridinh state, took it to the other monster to do damage before swapping to get some more done to the first Also Zin and Lun actually have two turf wars

I think Anjanath loses to Diablos in rise, because he is a weaker monster, so despite lifting Diablos, being tossed by him was probably too much for him, and probably broke multiple bones

Definately prefering the way World did TWs with the strong ecology focus, also helped by local fidelity (aka no chance for everyone to meet each other). I'm not really fond of the ones added in SB because while they are indeed good quality in terms of product they just feel like overhyped anime fights in most cases. I'm currently playing 3U and I feel TW would totally be at home in this game if they had been added with the pecking order scope in mind; imagine Zinogre beating Arzuros and tieing with Duramboros, or Lagiacrus straight up dominating water fights, but both lose to Deviljho as it's the supreme usurper.

@@HeavyWings I mean very true! Primordial and Runier could go toe to toe and could draw. I figured velkhana is in the same echelon as them but instead of brute strength it’s his ice powers.
