I wonder if you can actually Charge that new Charge Chop move.

Arekkz Gaming is Live showing the SnS Gameplay and special moves.

Hopefully we can backstep from guard, if not maybe they added something in the focus mode? Maybe you can backstep from neutral while focusing? 🤷‍♂️

The one singular thing that I was worried about was the draw attack. Since it is the most used sns move, it was my deciding factor if I would main sns again especially after how much better it was treated in Rise. But nah, they did sns dirty in Wilds. World has the *SHITTIEST* version of sns draw attack! And they really chose that among all the other iterations?? Bruh....

hopefully the perfect blocking is going to be good; because losing hop would be pretty rough.

[Read more for Day 3 stuff] Hello all! Jonno played sns during the day 2 livestream. Here are some more observations: Advancing slash is World’s advancing slash Guard slash probably back to being garbage Seikret dismount attack automatically does a scaling slash, like Rise’s falling shadow Roundslash can be aimed in any direction Spinning reaper is back. Can be performed after hard basher or the new triangle button combo Roundslash/spinning reaper is performed first before charged chop Charged slash can be held and delayed for much longer. Doesn't seem to be an extra tier of charge Charged slash appears to be more like World’s Standard perfect rush finisher is the same as Rise. Looks like there’s an option to finish with charged chop Plunging thrust can be performed during a jumping advancing slash midair Alternate option for focus strike after latching on is a very quick plunging thrust The focus strike seems like it can be performed midair after a scaling slash Roundslash can be performed during guard (huge if true!) Lateral slash was not performed Backstep from guard not performed/confirmed Still unclear if actions from guard can be performed instantly Day 3: Between Capcom's and Arekks's livestreams, there wasn't too much more shown off. We got to see the power clash, but that's about it. Also, I'm noticing that sns's sheathing time appears to be noticeably longer in this game. Sheathing with sns in World and Rise is so fast, but here in Wilds it looks kinda clumsy and slow. Not a nerf I was expecting.

Okay, sure, but your golden sword only deals that 820 35% of the time. Because of this complication you also have to DECREASE the bonus you get from crit boss by 65% to get the average damage boost, which will be around 1.14, whilst the NMS deals 723 passively. Just nitpicking. NMS is good if you want consistent damage and more upkeep on your attacks instead of having to think about crit bonuses, meaning it is a very good choice for beginners that want to learn the weapon far into the game, like I did. MHR is not a difficult game before you reach Master Rank, so I never needed to start making actual builds before it. While yes I agree the three level one slots are more or less worthless, unless you want full stun resistance, which again, is a thing newer players want. You also had qurious armourpieces without showing their bonuses, which contradicts with you saying that it is a "stupid mechanic and not worth doing."

Man, it's kinda crazy how little we know about Wild's SnS, eventuell on Day 2. Nobody seems to be properly showcasing it, while LS or CB are in every gameplay video.

Kinda worried about SnS in Wilds. Ill be honest, so far everything thing shown so far from the small gameplay-clips to the showcase trailers, it looks underwhelming to me imo. “Wait until the demo is out” there’s only so much you can hide, I’m extremely certain that they showed 90% of the SnS move-set. Meanwhile, more than half the weapons in wilds got ridiculous changes or flashy moves.

Thanks for this quick rundown! I audibly gasped when you asked what's missing in the button guide during guard. I loved guard backstep specially in Rise where I used it more compared to World. Here's hoping its still there 🥂

I did manage to find one person who played SnS, but the fact that they kept fighting in red sharpness should tell you their knowledge of the game kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcmThdCQprCtm2w.htmlsi=pO1uAaogIw1bIetV

Very cool, very fun. Thanks Geoff for giving us this information.

My main hopefor Wilds' sns would be te be able to abuse the wounding mechanic., with all the repositionning we have we could more effectivly target 1 part to more efficiently wound the monsters and do a lot of focus strikes. I really like the idea of the starter (and "purest") weapon being able to abuse universal mechanics better. Also some more advantages to being able to use items with the weapon drawn, as you said, it really feels like a forgettable gimmick. It's a nice video, especially the "missing" part, really interesting insight from experienced people is very cool, keep up the good work !

Backhop is the signature move of SnS but I did not see “really” backhop in this trailer, I hope Capcom doesn’t neft it for couterguard become more useful. And in the SA clip I saw hook skill, maybe SnS have a hookskill like shield bash repace wirebug by hook. From what I saw focus mode will perform skill while monsters have wound look like a claw skill perform while monsters flicked, I think there is will be new mechanic slash damage will make more wounds for open focus combo, and blunt damage still for stun and KO

Great analysis. I really hope change the moveset the way in the way you talked about. Could tidy up the moveset a bit. Sunbreak SnS is probably the clostest to the perfect version of the weapon for me and even it has some problems like how PR isn't powerful enough to justify the commitment. Also would love if they got rid or rework guard-slash. As a way to access the parry in Rise it's fine but if this game just has a perfect block it's going to be obsolete again.

As a sns main in both world and rise, I feel like there is nothing "new" or "cool" about sns in this overview that make me feel exciting, every other weapons just have so many things going on for them and sns is just... meh? Like it just doing the same thing that it has always been, idk if that's is a bad thing or not, maybe it's just me tho

Bro! This is freaking epic!

Blasphemous. Eating while weapon drawn can be the difference between a cart or no cart. Do you really main sns? dodge frames are few yet we value each individual frame. No other weapon can flash or sonic bomb from unsheathe as fast as sns. idk about you but it's a highly valuable skill for versatility and survivability, most especially with the mushroomancer skill. Have you never activated metsushoryuken counter with a thrown small barrel bomb?

So true

Cool! Cool! Cool! Cool! 😎😎😎

You are seriously underrating the Goltsneit. Shield bashes do not care about sharpness and elemental values, only raw damage and affinity. So a slashing attack with raw damage of 360 and blue (1.2x) sharpness ends up being a little less than 1% worse than a slashing attack with raw damage of 330 and white (1.32x) sharpness, but about 9% better when hitting with the shield. So unless 90% of your damage is coming from slashing attacks, you're better off with the Goltsneit than a 330 weapon with white sharpness. Compared to a purple sharpness 330 weapon, it's about 6% worse on the slash and about 9% better on bash, so it outperforms unless at least ~60% of your damage comes from slashes instead of shield bashing. It's also got 4/2/1/3* slots on it, which is equal to or better than every other weapon. It's not the very best weapon on the roster, but there is no way this thing is D tier.

Subbed, I found you while looking for MHR ninja sword builds, I’ve been binge watching your vids, thanks, great content

I just started playing SnS, ty very much for this video!

A theory I have on the Shagaru SnS is that it was supposed to be upgraded really early and was sort of meant to be for Gaismagorm since it’s really weak to dragon

I'm unable to unsheath with guard, any ideas why?

Thanks ❤

Super good video man. Thanks for including all the little details that are often overlooked. Particularly your advice with the Type 1 v Type 2 control settings. Those little details make all the difference in gameplay so I appreciate you including them! Thanks and have a good one!

This boss is fkn annoying, you literally don't have to go to this extent to kill this monster quickly. the game fkn gate keep all the goh dam damage so you cant fkn kill it quickly, omg this boss is so annoying goh damnit. I almost killed it a few times in 15 minutes, but by tie your at the last part he literally just keeps fkn attacking sometimes apparently he attacks less with the sword and shield cus every weapon iv used so far, he just starts spamming the fkn lightning and ground slam

Just found your channel. Subbed, nice vids brother lmao.

Great analysis! After Sunbreak I trust the MH teams to be able to balance even these new mechanics well! I hope this game will be a little less grindy than Sunbreak. I will have to buy a PS5 (or PS5 Pro if it comes out) for this game, and I think I will. Can't wait to try your builds, they are always the best. Thank you!

I think a way to help armor sets to have multiple skills for each weapon is to have those double skill decorations from world again. Although i know some people dont like the idea of having even more skills to be even stronger. Because you could just take advantage of double skills and super optimize one weapon builds instead of unoptimized 2 weapon builds

You made some good points, especially about armor and swapping of weapons. I also mentioned that on Reddit to other fans. It's wait and see. If you can bring armor with you, then yeah, a bow without constitution is kind of a waste.

Man, i am excited to try your sns builds once again

Kool! I just took three bottles of melatonin gummies so that I can fall asleep and wake up the day this game comes out!

the best video guide ive seen for mhw holy sh

Great video! Please, do a build progression of SnS for new players 😭😭😭 im at early high rank and feel a little lost about armor sets

So helpful and informative! Thanks for posting!

And here I was thinking you were uploading something serious... stupid April 1 date, you deserve a complete dislike to the video and never recommend again.

The best way of playing ninja master sword is not playing it at all

And if anyone wonders, you can also not buy it to begin with

Sky85 is back? With an epic and authentic viddy? This is the best day of my life! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

😂 we need more of this.

lol

Bro useing math to cook😂

still rocking the ninja sword :p

I didnt even know i could backstep out of guard and this is like my third or fourth most used weapon :/

Just so you know, rising slash from shield to unsheeth, if performed fast enough, does benefit from crit draw. Just tested this with 0% affinity and crit draw 3, it will always crit from sheeth to shield + rising slash. This does not apply to any hit follow up of backstep from sheeth.

it feels like perfect rush should perform better than this.

Me and my brother got a 1:06.47 after watching this and seeing what we could do better, nice run though!
