Hey y'all. I know this video has been out for quite a while now and it's way past its humble moment of glory, so I doubt many people will read this. I just want to say that as of recent I found myself caming back to this montage quite often but never to the game itself. I used to be a very active member of the subreddit posting countless clips, many of which are present in this video, and received a ton of praise for my footage. For a period it really uplifted me to see many people enjoy my GS gameplay and I'm so thankful for all the kind words both there and here under this compilation. However I believe I hit a ceiling and can no longer play this game with the spirit that I once had, mainly because of real life obligations which force to have limited play time that I'd rather spend on games that I haven't quite mastered yet. I see this video as a commendation of my personal journey throughout this masterpiece of a game that I hold very close to my heart. I'll definitely come back for Wilds but until then I think it's time to put MHW:I to rest.

if a player who hasn't played the game before watches this, yeah he might be convinced. Anyone who has played a few hours of the game will know how much commitment and repetition the GS takes in MHW, I started off with it and right after HR ended I hit a massive wall and switched to hammer. I don't regret the decision personally. The one thing that Rise made right in my opinion is making GS more approachable and less frustrating, especially after the expansion came out.

Gs is about mastering the aspects of the game, not just the weapon itselfs. You need a lot of information to properly used greatsword such as the environment, the slinger that drops, the positioning, the timing, and most importantly how the monster moves

GS is the best all around weapon, highest damage per hit along with the ability to tackle and block, it's easy to use and do good with, but it takes a special kind of hunter, one with forthsight and impeccable timing to be able to use the GS to it's fullest potential.

Good looking clips and not trying to take away anything from you, but GS newbies should know ultimately this doesn't represent the standard GS gameplay, even if you are good with the weapon. A lot of these clips just had the monster AI do just the right things, they could also cart you with unexpected follow ups instead.

@Blasteronefr 7 ай бұрын

100% agree. I like to gamble sometimes with my TCSs but it usually ends with me getting hit. Keep in mind that some fights like Teostra or Bazel have lots of moves that close distance gaps, so whenever they run past me I always set up an attack to catch them. Still it doesn't end well from time to time. Thanks for pointing this out!

I've always wanted to use the Great Sword, I think it's a really cool and fun weapon to play at times when you don't have to worry, it's pretty slow but its high damage for single hits rewards you for have patience I doubt I could hit these unique moments about the monster's frames and positions at the exact moment so the blow doesn't miss, but I would definitely use the weapon, even if I'm not the beast with it , I feel like I would have fun trying to learn to be at least decent with the weapon

@niscent_ 7 ай бұрын

what feels the best about the greatsword is the fact that it's so normal to keep your weapon sheathed. got caught in a bad position? just super man dive, you're already sheathed. a bit far to punish an opening? just sprint, you are already sheathed. being allowed to entirely focus on your position and monster's patterns without worrying about constant dps that might lock you out of opportunities is just bliss... then to get good at the great sword it's really easy and straight forward, you look up good players and try to do what they do. "oh, so when the monster do this he place himself here and do this attack to punish. let's try it." and so you try, sometimes it takes 2-3 tries, sometimes it takes 100 of tries, but eventually you get it right. what really changed my view of the weapon and turned me into a main is learning the rajang matchup. at first i thought it just couldn't be done, that gs was bad against it since he move too much for big hits, and attacks too fast for hyper armor. then i watched how a speedrunner did it... in my mind it was "wait, it's all draw attacks? always has been."

Greatsword has always held appeal, but its slow and deliberate nature have always scared me off. In 4u i was solely chargeblade, in g/gu i split my time between that and hammer, in world i mostly did hammer, and in rise started hammer but ended up s&s. I suppose in the end, what i wanted was mobilty and modularity, but i do envy the reach. That single destructive hit always looks better than hacking at a creature's face/knees or launching myself at x part for a break.

My issue with gs is that it o ly starts really shining once youve gotten a fight down to following a script. Amazing speedrunner/high skillcap weapon but it can feel atrocious to use if youre fighting a faster monster with a small hitbox and dont know the exact timings to punish like a rajang or something. Its why i find myself prefering CB a lot to fulfill a similar role. Guard point SAED counters give you the big hits playstyle if TCS to a lesser extent and then you have savage axe chainsawing which lets you still do good damage vs stuff rhat doesnt have easy to punish attacks. I do wish GS had more strong moves that gave it some flexibility for capitalizing on smaller punishes. TCS is highly inconsistent unless you can basically fight the monster blindfolded and i am not really fond of quick draw gs

@shreddedguy679 7 ай бұрын

agreed, need scripts to get the most out of gs, thats why when you play with gs users who dont understand the monster or gs shortcuts, hunts take so long because they barely land and when they do they dont max damage, when you have a script its the most powerful wep in the game

@Blasteronefr 7 ай бұрын

Sorry if I'm late. If you wanna get better at GS I'd recommend learning one specific fight of your choosing first. Watch some speed runs of it and learn some key TCS windows (I personally recommend Alatreon/Fatalis/ATV, funnily enough three of the most TCS friendly fights). Also keep in mind that despite what people may assume ALL of the GS's attacks are useful, with the exception of wide slash and maybe jumping wide slash, the latter of which is held back by its long recovery window but can still find occasional use in countering monster's flinches. I say that once you've become comfortable with TCS openings your next step is to learn to make use of the rest of your move set. Play creatively while still retaining a good pace with the moves you're confident with countering. Oh and this goes without saying but MAKE HEAVY USE OF THE SLINGER BURST TCS SHORTCUTS, which can be performed after most of the GS's moves, most notable of which are draw slash and side bash, the latter which is a powerful repositioning tool if done after a tackle.
