Thank you for 3.5 months of amazing podcasts!

Switching my Switch axe skills on my Switch!

Waiting for Rise has been painful, but Third Fleet Podcast is a great painkiller.

Rurikhan should change his KZfaq profile picture to the thumbnail palico.

This is becoming the premier MH content that I look forward to every week! You all have made the wait for Rise much more palatable and I thank you very much for that!

There's so much juicy stuff to talk about now, this is by far my most anticipated episode of the Third fleet podcast

Kinda random, but can we have a "Shields up, Iron breakers" in Portuguese once? I think it would be cool.

Hey Ririkhan, a friendly advice and I hope you read it: make sure your son doesn't have ADHD or other problems that can be causing his lack of attention. I have ADHD (and a pretty heavy one), and it fucked my life in SO MANY levels I can't describe. Only now, at 24 years old, I am managing to START to have a path, specially because I only started treating it about one year and a half ago, and constantly saying to your son to just "pay attention" can be very harmful to him. Some people have more "low levels" of ADHD, but there are people like me, who have disabling levels of it.

Rise is like my heroin right now and you two are my favorite vendors lol.

Cat: *meow’s* Everyone: *OMG ITS GORE!!!*

I hope that when we wyvern ride chameleos, he’ll turn invisible and we’ll just be floating around on him like mermaid man and barnacle boy

I am quite excited about the Switch Skills, but it's got me thinking that maybe down the line they do an update and add more skills. That would be awesome if they did!

When G-rank comes i hope it would be in the form of DLC like how Iceborne did it and not exclusive in an Ultimate edition of the game.

On the topic of Zinogre, there there is a difference. The version in rise resembles the old design instead of worlds design. Obviously the fur physic is different from world. Following this, its overall spikier with larger scales and a more dog shaped face with large ears. And last the color is slightly different For me worlds design finally clicked with me, because it had better overall proportion, so i personally prefer it.

Man, I have to say; Stories runs GREAT on a tablet. Downloaded it yesterday, played for like 8 hours, didn’t even sleep. I highly recommend you to go for it, such a good game, the controls aren’t bad at all either (once you get used to em)

I was waiting for this, also the thing with charge blade's savage axe mode was specifically if you get the "longer hits" which is by holding the attack button while it hits in savage axe mode. So it's a longer commitment in animation, but if you land those longer hits it turns the energy into phials.

im really excited for the small detail that we have a preparation phase before the rampage. Placing different defenses and preparing for the next wave of monsters adds an additional layer of customization and control that sounds really fun IMO!

The thing is chameleos has a roar and the new one sounds exactly the same just higher quality and both of gores roars are a lot deeper though gore is my favorite monster and id love to see him again.

Lol I keep calling Utsushi from Rise (guy with Zinogre parts gear) Kakashi whenever I forget his proper name

Honestly, I was so afraid of Chameleos eating my power and armor charms that I refused to take them into Chameleos fights.

1st, the thumbnail is perfect ;D

Hopefully we'll be getting more switch skills with the big title updates. Remember that Ichinose did say "Several new monsters *and features* "

The RE engine is just pure witchcraft at this stage.

Hearing you guys talk about the home school really validates what I've been feeling. It's tough. Thanks for intro and podcast.

The monster hunter speak and mobility is a lot of fun. It reminds me of the dialogue and combat from the Gravity Rush series. It feels like MH Rise is a combination of my two most favorite games.

Let's go! I'm so hyped for this! Looking forward to hear gaijin's insights on things we may have missed out! This will keep me preoccupied until magnamalo comes out =)))

Thank you guys for the podcast. It helped me get back into playing Monster Hunter after a 5 month break. I finally went and beat Alatreon solo thanks to this podcast reigniting the love for monster hunter that I have.

Got a job interview over zoom tomorrow morning and then this lined up for the afternoon while I finish my work day. Listening to you guys chat MH makes for some super chill backing 👌

When it comes to having a break from MH, my games have been Nioh 2, Atelier Ryza, Smash and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Anyone else?

Aside for 3 player scale, I really like on how the difficulty are adjustable if people leave the quest. This is quite handy for portable setting.

The Axe Hopper Silkbind for Charge Blade allows you to either execute a mid-air AED with A or an SAED with X+A. Aerial CB is back baby!! The Morphing Advance Silkbind will help you reposition and still retain the Condensed Spinning Slash mode; also Counter Morph Slash is slower but can be performed instantly, even while in axe form (like Counter Peak Performance), making it safer to guard point out of it and follow up with an attack.

Bravely Default 2 is eating up my time while waiting for MH Rise. The grind is not the same as the old Bravely Default games, so I really appreciate the QoL improvements they made with the grinding of jobs. Definitely recommend it if you're a JRPG fan.

Rurikhan, regarding that mystery roar, some people (myself included) think the new roar is just Chameleos' updated roar for Rise, I think due to Chameleos rarely roaring in general, no one thought to think that it was simply his new roar... because people rarely heard the old one!

Right guys, hear me out right. Wouldn’t a Goss Harag plushie be adorable? A little snow bear with a sword? I think that would be adorable.

As someone who often plays MH games together with the 2 friends I introduced to the series, 3 players difficulty scaling is wonderful news !

51:45 The reason why a buffet is called a "Viking" in Japanese is because it's an abbreviation of バイキング料理 (Viking ryōri), "Viking cooking", referring to a smorgasbord. According to Wiktionary, this is apparently due to a restaurant called "Viking" that introduced the smorgasbord style to Japan (no citation).

Just seen Max's reaction to the latest trailers and he just skipped Stories 2 altogether. Imagine if they invite Max in as a guest in the Podcast and he just hushes Ruri and Gaijin on Stories and forces them to talk about Rise only. LOL Personally, I might not pick up Stories 2 when it comes out just yet, because when I get into an RPG, I'd like to dive deep. So I don't know if I can spare time to go back and forth between Rise and Stories regularly (although I'm getting the Stories amiibo ASAP!). Anyway, once I've done enough with Rise that it won't consume all my entire free time, that's when I'll pick up Stories 2.

Does anyone think they could have more Switch skills than were revealed?

31:00 Gaijin is definitely on to something here, several other people mentioned the same thing on reddit, that Zinogre looks more like his 3U/Portable version than World. So I'm sure it's not just your eyes.

I agree with Gaijin about how Rise Zinogre seems different from World; it was a lot more stationary in the trailer than World's counterpart. World imo kinda forgot what made Zinogre so memorable in favor of making it hyper-aggressive for difficulty's sake. Pre-World Zinogre was the only late game monster that didn't roar at the start of a hunt, it just rolled its neck at you, which gave it a lot of character combined with its more deliberate movements. It was a very different monster from the rest which I think it why its such a fan favourite

1:25 my friend would kill me if she heard me say that 🤣

Ngl I buy a switch for the whole purpose of playing Rise and Stories 2. I played the first Stories on my phone, and I loved it. As for Rise it's gonna be my first official MH game, I recently started working so not too l long ago I wasn't able to buy my own stuff so i never owned to latest platforms and stuff; so being a capable of getting my own Switch and finally be able to enjoy a game from the launch date is a new experience for me

We all know that the reason why Ruri smiled at 1:58:23 is because the though of the Apex Arzuros mighty jump.

I always find it funny that "The night parade of a hundred dragons" starts in the daytime. I do like the idea, though, that as the siege progresses monsters get more powerful and the most powerful apex comes in the nighttime (at least in the JPN event demo).

@Rurikhan the reason why Rise has such a bigger hype feeling is because the community is bigger this time thanks to world really growing the community as a whole.

For Chameleos, I agree it should be able to "steal" your wirebug (i.e. at least force a mid/long cooldown), but I think it would be awesome if when Chameleos steals Potion it _actually gains the effect._ (For balance reasons, Max/Ancient Potions do not 100% heal the monster, but instead heal like +200HP -- remember your hunter's HP is generally capped at 150). And if Chameleos is allowed to steal Power/armorcharms and talons (apparently this was a 2nd generation thing, because it did NOT occur in MH4U/MHGU) then you should be able to get it back by defeating it. Fun fact about unlocked HR is that village quests ALWAYS secretly contributed to your HR in past games. In MH4U, if you play only Hub quests you will probably be HR30 after Dalamadur falls, but if you've also played village quests you will more likely be HR50. I have played not many tower-defense style games, but they do tend to cap off a level with one "big" foe that is much harder to take down than the ones before it. (FF7's Fort Condor defense minigame, for example: enemies were typed according to a triangle: speed > ranged > slow, but at the end of the wave there was the "commander" who was slow and resisted all damage; if your forces couldn't defeat it, you had to fight it yourself in traditional battle to avoid losing the minigame.) I am also fairly hyped for Stories 2 -- we knew MH would get a new Switch game at some point and we already knew most of what to expect from the next portable MH, but NOBODY expected Stories to be getting a sequel and the new trailer (while it only shows very limited gameplay cinematics, e.g. Kinship attacks) really sells that the story will be unique and different from mainline MH. Just like Stories 1 was already unique and different, but more so this time.

You nailed it with the podcast. Thank you for your time and effort. the hype is real. can t wait for the demov2 . can t wait the community stream. can t wait for mar 26. Keep up your good work ! Happy hunting !

Possibly Gaijin what you sensed as a homecoming for Zinogre is his size. He was massive in World but he now has a familiar scale in Rise. At least that’s what I noticed

Didn't talk about the New Elder. :P

In regards with longsword since the Valor finisher will change all the Spirit Round Slash so the only way you can generate spirit gauge will be the Iai Counter hence they need to add the silkbind Sakura Slash. So choices can be.. Valor Finisher + Soaring Kick = You need to be good to Iai counter Default Moveset + Silkbind Sakura Slash = Serene Pose spam since you dont have Spirit Gauge spender now. Valor Finisher + Silkbind Sakura Slash = A fresh way to play Longsword focused more on dealing combo damage rather than spamming Helmbreaker. Unless!!! Fade Slash still generated Spirit Gauge then this are my thoughts.

I gave you guys the chance but you still missed the floating alien Xenojiva × Amatzu looking like monster

i really need to see more on the dual blades. So far they seem sluggish when compared to the previous iterations. In GU, you had aerial which allowed a lot of vertical movement and valor style which you could literally sprint with your weapons drawn anytime you feel like. In world the amount of sliding, evasive attacks and aerial opportunities you had allowed you to traverse and dodge very quickly. So far what we have seen in Rise seems like a limited aerial style and a 5 second "wyrmstake. "

Absolutely enjoyed the discussion and I could not be more excited for the game's release! I hope to be able to participate in hunts with the both of you. I hope that all of you take good care.

Every day, one step closer to Rise.

RageGaming posted a video earlier comparing monster roars to the Chameleos trailer, and honestly I think it's just a Chameleos roar. All the other roars he tested (Lagi, Amatsu, Gore Magala) sounded a bit off, but Chameleos' roar sounds near identical.

I love listening to these while getting some work done

Ah yes the best Dadcast is back again :D

@Rurikhan I beleive the bonus damsge on counter morph slash is specifically damage increasing ONLY IF YOU USE SAED FROM THE GUARD POINT. One benefit of GPs is that you can skip the attack chain leading up to SAED, and this one will buff it if you skip that chain. heres the thing though, alot of the time when you do this, its easy to miss. The monster runs past you, or spins off to the side, and your aim window is fairly small when you do it this way. The draw back to counter morph is the speed. There is alot of times in a chaotic hunt when you just want to change shapes and a monster hits your GP and forces you back into the mode you wanted to leave. Counter Morph will be great for super technicaly skilled players, but will be more frustrating for those not as skilled.

The spinning axe move for charge blade sounds a lot like the ripper axe hunter art from GU. This was a stationary attack where you pushed your spinning axe into the monster, charging up your phials and loading them.

I've decided to use Charge Blade in Rise as opposed to Longsword for several reasons; A) the Switch Skills are actually worth using, you get a new Savage Axe Mode, an Longer Counter, and FRICKIN' AERIAL SUPER AMPED ELEMENTAL DISCHARGE!! Longsword's Switch Skills are (for me at least) not worth using as opposed to the default ones, and B) I have played Longsword for 800+ hours and much less for Charge Blade so there is more room for improvement!

i like this podcast a lot! hearing you guys talk about mh hype me a lot for rise, but being a new fan of the series i would love some images when u guys were talking about the movements cause i had no idea what u guys were talking about =/.

I think that new bow silkbind is going to be like the run off the wall shots we had in world. Because they mentioned that the shots you fire in the air will be extremely powerful and thats the closest approximation I can make. And we don't have run up the walls attacks in rise so it adds up

fanning would be good for non elemental shots. The vault, assuming elemental shots have no critical range again, would be more fitting since running in for non elemental shots would put you out of critical range unless you are using spread. I see them both having use depending on the shot you are primarily using for the given bowgun.

the roar is literal one for one of gores old roar, just a little shorter on the mid-part. While one could argue it sounds like on of chameleos roars, the roars i find more recognizable from chamleos are the ones that reverberate up and down rapidly instead of a clean roar. But I wont get my hopes up XD since he is one of my favorites. It would be weird if they dont implement the frenzy like it was in 4. I will be very interested to see a more eastern aesthetic to Gores armor in Rise. It will also be wierd if they bring back Gore because that means Shagaru is also coming back.

There are already more monsters in rise than in iceborne and the expansion for rise hasn't even been announced yet😂

Can't wait for this game! I've played them all since the PS2 Monster Hunter lol. Apart from the PC versions. There was supposed to be another demo today but there's nothing on the store (UK) 😔😂

Wyvern riding Chamelios is like Wonder Woman's invisible jet.

One big upside of the more valor style over spirit roundslash is that you don't hit in such a wide area which can help in multiplayer with less tripping

The counter morph slash on the CB has a much longer animation, and the bonus SAED damage isn't that great, at least from what we saw in the gameplay. Still looks really fun, and im excited to try it in game.

The roar at the end was updated Chameleos. They're almost identical.

I'm also hype for stories 2. I'm also replaying stories one

Actually Gaijin, the language that Rurikhan first spoke was obviously whatever that language is spoken in Starfox. What was it, Cornerian? Whatever, It’s StarFox speech. Also, don’t forget, there are personality selections for voice in rise, so some have different approaches to how they handle interactions. I’m kind of liking the CB user, in the demo, when it came to the English VOs. The March of demons is also something referenced in Yokai Watch in the form of Terror Time. Another localization to make sure it doesn’t sound like just a parade. This is a frightful event. Basically it is an event that is triggered, only at night, where a bunch of them March through the town and one of the scariest situations in the game.

I with you could swap out either of the Wirebug abilities for the third option, seems weird to have one that must be equipped and let you swap just the other two, but the switching abilities is just such a cool way to tweak your style.

Really liking these changes for charge blade. Honestly preferred it before worlds version where SAED was the only thing really worth doing

I think the conclusion to the story being implemented in the first title update is just a result of 2020. Nothing too mysterious to me.

Oh thats interesting, lance gets perfect guard/parry/just defense? If long sword gets valor parry that would be broken on top of iai stance and foresight. Valor finish is only faster because it can be done in 3 moves if used as a parry as the first slash gets skipped and you do the follow up immediately. Otherwise it takes 4 moves like the regular finish and the vertical finish is easier to miss with because the hitbox is so narrow.

I'm a bit torn between Hunting Edge and the replacement, when it comes to GS. I've actually mailed GS for 6 games now, starting with MH Tri. I kind of know the move they are replacing Hunting Edge with. I usually had a bit of a hard time, with my play style, landing such a move and it didn't have as many guard points that I expected. Again, it could be altered and improved from the previous version of this existing GS move. I can see this being fantastic for those who are great at its particular counter play, but with Hunting Edge, I don't have to wait for the specific opportunity that I may easily whiff. What made HE more difficult is that it, at first, looks like it is basically Aerial GS. But it seems the trick is more on using the attack once you start going airborne. It is that which greatly increases the hitbox for the spring (and helping to keep one from overshooting the monster), and does damage. The real payoff is landing both the spring attack (which it somewhere in the 60s normally), and the damage boosted follow up for which you have a choice of two methods. The combined damage is pretty nice, way better than a raw Wirebug and then attack move; and once you learn it, something one can pull off more often than the replacement. Though I think the way it takes some practice to get better at landing it is the balancing agent. One that could turn some away from using it, from first impression. However, if they improve the other Switch skill, from before, it may be my goto.

The first minute and a half was pure gold😂

fun fact, I know that you could actually level hr in Gen ult by doing village quests as well. Leveled up 3 times doing that since i was trying to complete all of the village quests and get more weapons done.

The wirebug counter of the LS cost 2 bugs and decrease your spirit gauge level by 1. That and the soaring kick are the "spenders".

My dream switch skill for gunlance would be Valor rapid shelling replacing Wyvern stake

Idk if it's my favorite Elder Dragon FIGHT, but I love Chameleos so much lol. Just kinda watching its doofy animations and it being more of an annoying MENACE than like a cataclysmic threat just makes him so loveable to me. I LOVE his equipment as well. I still have my awesome general-hunting 4U poison build using his armor and insect glaive. Gonna love using his spellbook-looking bow now that the newer bow controls click with me more than in 4U.

I'm gonna be surprised if there's not fan art of the hunting horn using the wirebug cocoon as a makeshift base booster.

15 more days till the game comes out can’t wait So excited

Once again, my favourite podcast returns.

I've been waiting for this, not gonna watch out right now cuz I gotta go do parent stuff but definitely tonight I'll be back to listen to you guys.

I just come by to say: What an awesome thumbnail XD Imma watch this podcast once I got home

I hope the valor spirit slash still keeps the point guard of the initial first part of the combo which was really helpful at times

In World, the base evasion and Superman Dive have more i-frame than older games imo

So Glavenus is GS, Acidic Glavenus is LS, Goss Harag is DB, Duramboros is Hammer, and Qurupeco is HH. I got nothing for the rest

I got my 3ds Outtttt and im continuing Stories!!!! Yayyyyyy I had Bravely Default 2 and put it at the side for Stories! loool

Gaijin's not wrong with his Overwatch analogy. A lot of characters within the initial preparation time in defense mode can set up traps / mines / turrets. So there is technically a prep time for a few set up characters

Theer are two GS moves in the trailer! The one with the silk = adamant charged slash. The one without the silk = looks like the animation for brimstone slash from genU, probably swaps out for tcs or some other base move.

not gonna lie. BEST INTRO!

Nordic people that went on a viking were vikings. Viking is nordic name for raiding

Im excited to see rampage speedruns

Dude the thumbnail its a 20/10 XD i love it and more that @NCHProductions saw it XD
